KREMLIN CHAMBER
(1598 of the year, 20 February)
Prince Shuisky and Vorotynsky.

Vorotynsky
Dressed up, we manage the city together,
But, it seems, We do not look for someone:
Moscow is empty; vosled for patriarch
To go to the monastery and all the people.
What do you think, than the end alarm?

Shumsky
The end? Learn not wise:
People still povoet yes cry,
Boris still wince slightly,
The drunkard before Charco wine,
Finally, by the grace of his
Take the crown humbly accept;
And then - and then he will rule us
Still.

Vorotynsky
But a month already elapsed,
How, gate in a monastery with his sister,
is he, it seems, I left all worldly.
our patriarch, or duma nobles
Persuade him hitherto could not;
He does not hear any tearful exhortations,
Neither their prayers, nor cry all over Moscow,
Neither the voice of the Great Council.
His sister begged in vain
Boris bless the state;
The sad nun queen
How hard it, he is relentless.
Know, Boris himself this spirit she instilled;
What if the ruler is indeed
Reigning concerns bored
And the throne powerless not rise?
What do you say?

Shumsky
I tell, that waste
Lilasya blood prince-baby;
That if this, Demetrius could live.

Vorotynsky
awful wickedness! Full, just eh
Ruined prince Boris?

Shumsky
Then who?
Who bribed vain Chepchugova?
Who had sent both Bitiagovsky
With Kachalov? I was sent to Uglich
Investigate the matter on the spot:
I ran on the fresh tracks;
The entire city has been witness to atrocities;
All citizens have shown according to;
AND, returning, I could have a word
To expose the hidden villain.

Vorotynsky
Why did you not destroy it?

Shumsky
is he, I confess, Then I was confused
calmness, shameless unexpected,
He looked me in the eye, It seemed right:
questioned, the details included -
And in front of him, I repeated the absurd,
Which he whispered to me.

Vorotynsky
not clean, prince.

Shumsky
And what was I to do?
All declare Theodore? but the king
All looking in the eyes of Godunov,
Around the ears listened Godunov:
Let him b I assured throughout,
Boris once it would have disabused,
And there Well I was sent to prison b,
Yes, good luck, like my uncle,
In a remote prison, gently used crushed.
I do not brag, and in the case, of course,
Nikaya penalty I will not fear.
I myself am not a coward, but also not a fool
And in the loop climb disagreeing gift.

Vorotynsky
awful wickedness! listen, right
Slayer remorse worried:
Sure, the blood of an innocent child
He set foot prevents the throne.

Shumsky
step over; Boris is not so Robock!
What an honor for us, for the whole of Russia!
yesterday's slave, Tartar, in-law Malyuta,
In-law of the executioner and the executioner himself in the shower,
Take the crown of Monomakh and the bartender ...

Vorotynsky
So, born on little; we nobler.

Shumsky
Yes, it seems.

Vorotynsky
After Shumsky, Vorotynsky ...
easy to say, natural princes.

Shumsky
natural, Rurik and blood.

Vorotynsky
And listen, prince, because we'd had a right
inherit Theodore.

Shumsky
Yes, more,
The Godunov.

Vorotynsky
After all, in fact,!

Shumsky
Well?
When Boris cheat stops,
Let people artfully excite,
Let them leave Godunov,
Their princes have rather, let be
Himself in any elected kings.

Vorotynsky
Not a few of us, heirs Varyag,
So difficult for us to compete with Godunov:
People unaccustomed to us to be the most ancient branches
Their militant rulers.
Ear for a long time lost, we paid,
Long ago tsaryam podruchnikami serve,
And he knew how to fear, and love,
And the glory of the people of charm.

Shumsky
(looking out the window)
he dared, that's all - and we ..... but full. See,
The people are, spread abroad, ago -
go quickly, learn, I decided.

NIGHT. Cell in the Miracle Monastery
(1603 of the year)
father Pimen, Gregory sleep.

Pimen
(He wrote before the icon lamp)
One more, Recently tale -
And over my chronicle,
executed debt, willed by God
To me, greshnomu. No wonder years
Witnesses of the Lord delivered me
And book art to reason;
Ever industrious monk
Find my hard work, nameless,
it shine, like me, his lamp -
AND, dust shaking off centuries of charters,
True legends has overwrite,
Yes ignorant descendants of the Orthodox
Native land last destiny,
His great kings commemorated
For their efforts, for glory, for good -
And for the sins, for dark Acts
Savior humbly beg.
At the age I live over again,
Past passes in front of me -
Long Since it swept, full of events,
worried, how sea-okiyan?
Now it silently and quietly,
Not many people my memory retained,
Not a lot of words to reach me,
And the other was lost irretrievably ...
But the day of the, lamp burns -
One more, recently tale.
(He writes.)

Gregory
(awakes)
All the same dream! maybe l? the third time!
Cursed sleep!.. And all before the icon lamp
The old man sits and writes - and nap,
Know, during the night, he did not close his eyes,.
How I love his calm appearance,
When, soul steeped in the past,
He leads his chronicle; and often
I guess like, what he wrote?
About whether the dark dominion of the Tartars?
About whether John ferocious executions?
O stormy night you novogorodskom?
About whether the glory of the fatherland? vainly.
Any high brow, or in the sight of
It is impossible to read his hidden thoughts;
The same kind of humble, stately.
So just dyak, in orders grayer,
Calmly he sees on the right and the guilty,
Listening to good and evil indifferently,
Not knowing neither pity, our anger.

Pimen
Awoke, brother.

Gregory
bless me,
honest father.

Pimen
bless the Lord
You and this day, and ever, and forever.

Gregory
You're writing and not forgotten dream,
And my peace demonic mechtane
trouble, and an enemy of me stirred up.
me dream, that the steep stairs
I was led to the tower; from high
I saw Moscow, that anthill;
At the bottom of the people in the boiling area
And I pointed out with a laugh,
And I am ashamed and scary -
AND, falling headlong, I woke up ...
And three times I dreamed the same dream.
No wonder you?

Pimen
Mlada blood is;
Humble themselves in prayer and fasting,
And your dreams are visions of light
filled. Until now - if I,
Involuntarily exhausted slumber,
Not create a long prayer to the night -
My old dream is not silent, and sinless,
I chudyatsya the noisy feasts,
The inverse Mill, the scrum battle,
Crazy fun young age!

Gregory
What fun you spent your Mladost!
You fought at Kazan towers,
You host Lithuania reflected at Shuya,
Did you see the yard and the luxury of John!
Happy! and I from the adolescent years
According keliyam wander, poor monk!
Why do not I amuse oneself in battle,
Not feast at the king's meal?
Before I could, like you, old age
from the bustle, secede from the world,
Speak monastic vow
And in the quiet abode to shut.

Pimen
No sets, brother, that sooner sinful light
I left you, that few temptations
I sent you a supreme. Believe you me:
We were captivated by the glory from afar, luxury
And women love crafty.
I have long lived and enjoyed many;
But since then only Veda bliss,
As the monastery Lord brought me.
Think, son, you about the great kings.
Those above them? One god. who dares
against them? Nobody. And what? Often
Zlatý crown them became heavy:
They changed it on the hood.
Tsar Ivan was looking for complacency
The similarity of religious works.
his palace, pets full of proud,
Monastery view a new take:
Kromeshniki tafyah in sackcloth and
They were obedient monk,
A formidable king abbot humble.
I have seen here - in this very cell
(It was then living Kirill suffering,
just man. Then, too, and I
God vouchsafed to comprehend nothingness
madding crowd), here I saw the king,
Tired of angry thoughts and executions.
thoughtful, quietly sitting between us Terrible,
We stood motionless in front of him,
And silently he led the conversation with us.
He spoke to the abbot and the brothers:
"My fathers, longed-for day come,
I will stand here Alcala salvation.
You, Nicodemus, you, Sergius, you, Kirill,
All of you - take a vow of my spiritual:
I come to you accursed criminal
And here the schema honest apprehend,
For your feet, holy father, pripadši ".
Thus spoke sovereign emperor,
And sweet it out of his mouth lilasya.
And he cried. And we prayed in tears,
May God grant peace and love
His soul is suffering and stormy.
And his son Theodore? on the throne
He cry for peaceful life
the Silent. He is the king's palaces
Preobratil in prayer cell;
there's serious, Grief derzhavnыe
Holy souls it is not perturbed.
God loves humility king,
And Russia with him in glory serene
Comforted - and in the hour of his death
Fait unheard of miracle:
By his bedside, One, a visible king,
Husband appeared unusually bright,
And he began to talk with him, Theodore
And call the great patriarch.
And all around were seized with fear,
Perceived heavenly vision,
Zane His Holiness before the king
In the edifice had not been.
When he passed away, Chamber
Filled with holy fragrance,
And his face shone like the sun -
I do not see such us a king.
About the terrible, unprecedented woe!
We have angered God, We have sinned:
Ruler himself regicide
we named.

Gregory
then, honest father,
I wanted to ask about death
Demetrius Tsarevich; while
You, say, I was in Uglich.

Pimen
Oh, remember!
God led me to see the evil deed,
bloody sin. Then I'm in the far Uglich
On some was sent Obedience;
I came into the night. Nautro an hour lunch
Suddenly I hear ringing, ring the alarm,
scream, noise. Yard run to the queen. I
I hasten to train - and then the whole town.
I look: Prince is slaughtered;
The queen mother unconscious on him,
Nurse desperate cries,
And then people, ostervenyas, drag
Bezbozhnuyu predatelynitsu-mamku ...
Suddenly between them, ferocious, pale with anger,
Judas is Bitiagovsky.
"Here, Now the villain!"- there was a general cry,
And suddenly he was gone. Here people
After three murderers ran away;
Sheltering the villains captured
And they brought before the warm corpse of the baby,
And the miracle - suddenly dead tremble -
"Repent!"- people zavopil:
And in terror under the ax villains
Repented - and named Boris.

Gregory
What was the year the prince murdered?

Pimen
Yes, seven years; he would now have been
(Tom took ten years too ... no, more:
Twelve years old) - he would have been your age
And reigned; But God judged otherwise.
This story will make a deplorable
I chronicle my; since then I have little
I delve into worldly affairs. brother Gregory,
You diploma enlighten your mind,
You hand over his labor. The clock,
Free from spiritual feats,
describes the, without further ado,
All that, which will witness in my life:
War and Peace, council of princes,
Saints holy miracles,
Prophecies and signs of the heavens -
And I have to go, time to really relax
And to repay the lamp ... but call
K autre ... bless, lord,
his servants!.. Bring crutch, Gregory.
(Leaves.)

Gregory
Boris, Boris! all in front of you trembles,
No one will dare to remind
About lots unhappy baby, —
Meanwhile, in the dark cell recluse
Here he writes a terrible accusation at you:
And you can not escape from the mundane court,
How not to get away from God's judgment.

In vain I promise magicians

Presentiment of heaven and thunder mountain.
I have no happiness. I thought your people
The allowance, in glory to soothe,
Bounties of the love of his win -
But put aside the empty care:
Live power for mobile hated,
They only know how to love the dead.
we are mad, when the People's splash
Ile ardent cry disturbs our heart!

people howled, and austere dying;
Opened their zhitnitsы, I have the gold

Like a hammer pounding in my ears reproach,
And all the sick, and dizzy,
And the boys blood in his eyes ...
And glad to escape, yes ever ... terrible!
Yes, the miserable, in whom a guilty conscience.

Or a certain spirit in the image of his,
Or a bold rascal, besstыdnый impostor,
But there appeared Dimitri.

Shumsky

Pushkin

As he came the first time to the palace
And through the ranks of the Lithuanian gentry directly
It was in the secret chamber of the King.

Shumsky

In Vyshnevetskoho, that on his sickbed

And with him then I went to Sigismund.

What bloody Coke, popularly,

His staff is not coal scoops?

And there - in the middle of nowhere starvation il loop.

Where Sitskie princes, where Shestunovy,
The Romanovs, fatherland hope?

Give time: Well you will be the fate of such.
Easy eh, tell! we're home, Lithuania,
Besieged unfaithful slaves;

Government bribed thieves.
We depend on the first slave,
Who want to punish.

We have no control on their estates.
Do not you dare drive away sloth! The work does not work,

Always with you, I am pleased to talk,

Before I saw a near death,
Before his death soul shuddered.
I threatened to eternal bondage,
Chasing me - I was not confused spirit
And daring escape captivity.
But what now constricts my breathing?
What do you mean this irresistible thrill?
Or is it a shiver of desire intense?
No - it is the fear. A day expected
I am a secret meeting with Marina,
I am thinking about all the things, I tell her that,
As seducing her haughty mind,
How to call the Moscow queen, —
But the hour has come - and I do not remember anything.
Not nahozhu things zatverzhennыh;
Love stirs my imagination ...
But something suddenly flashed ... rustling ... quiet ...
Not, this deceptive light of the moon,
And here the breeze rustled.

Marina
Dimitry! You?

Slowly rolled dull day!
As dawn slowly died out Vespers!
How long I waited in the darkness of night I!

Marina
Hours run, and cost me time -
I am here for you to make an appointment
Not in order, to listen to the gentle voice

What do you like; but listen: I decided to
With your destiny and vibrant and unfaithful
Connect my fate; is entitled to

Intentions, and even fears;
To hand you could I safely
Embark on a life - not from childhood blindness,
Not as a slave light husband desires,
Bezmolvnaya your concubine,
But how do you worthy wife,
Assistant Moscow tsar.

Marina
No time, prince. Are you waiting for - and, meanwhile,
Commitment to your minions freezes,
From hour to hour and a danger works
Become more dangerous and more difficult,
Already worn dubious rumors,
Oh novelty replaces novelty;
A Godunov accept their actions ...

impostor
What Godunov? Whether in power Boris
Your love, one of my bliss?
Not, not. Now I look indifferently
On his throne, on the royal power.
Your love ... that without it my life,
And glory shine, and Russian power?
In a remote steppe, in the dugout poor - you,
You replace my royal crown,
Your love…

Marina

of high, St. destination:
You your dignity to be more expensive
all the pleasures, all temptations of life,
It with anything you can not equate.
Not boiling youth, madly
Captivated by my beauty,

long ago died, buried - and not rise again;
Do you want to know, who I was?
if you please, I will say: I am a poor Chernorizets;
Monastic unwillingly missing,
under the cap, his plan courageous
I thought about, He is preparing the world wonder -
And finally escaped from his cell
For Ukrainians, in their wild smoking,
Owning a horse and a sword learned;
I come to you; Dimitri himself as
And brainless Poles deceived.
What do you say, nadmennaya Marina?
You happy eh recognition of my?
Why are you silent?

Marina
About shame! for woe is me!

But their pleas I coldly rejected
Not in order, to runaway monk ...

I lied to God and kings,
I lied to the world; but not for you, Marina,
execute me; I'm right in front of you.
Not, I could not lie to you.
You told me the only relic,
In front of her, I did not dare pritvorstvovat.
Love, love jealous, blind,
One love led me to
All express.

Marina
The boast, madman!
Who demanded the recognition of your?
Well, if you, nameless drifter,
He could dazzle wonderful two people,
So too should at least you
Worthy to be the success of its
And his deception brave ensure
stopping, deep, eternal mystery.
How can I, tell, I surrender to you,
How can I, forgetting their family and shame girlish,
Connect my fate with thy,
When you did with such ease,
So windy my shame rebuke?
He spilled the beans out of love with me!
Watching: both in front of my father
Of friendship you have not opened until now,
Joy before our king
Or even before the Pan Vyshnevetsky
Faithful servant of diligence.

You could grind out a confession.
I swear to you, What never, nowhere,

Neither under the knife, or in the throes of torture
So serious secrets will not give out my tongue.

To sit on a horse and people
In the old days in the service of exiled;
In the monasteries, like away
Servers prichetnyh. In previous years,,
When trouble threatened fatherland,
Hermits went into battle themselves.
But now we do not want to disturb them;
Let us pray for them - this is the
The decree of the king and the sentence Boyarsky.
Now the question is important we resolve:
You know, that impudent imposter
Insidious rumors raced everywhere;
Everywhere they sent letters
Sow anxiety and doubts;
On the areas of rebel haunting whisper,
Minds seethe ... they need to be cool;
Warn I would wish penalty,
But what and how? Now decide. You're the first,
The Holy father, narrate their thoughts.

patriarch
Blessed be the Most High, settle
The spirit of grace and gentle patience
In your heart, great ruler;
You do not want the death of the sinner,
You quietly wait - yes pass astray:
it will pass, and the sun of eternal truth

all light up.
Your faithful worshiper,
In worldly matters not a wise judge,
Dares to this day you submit your vote.
devilish son, defrocked accursed,
Dimitri was able to pass by the people;
He named prince, <br> pleasure
stolen, besstydno oblačilsâ:
But it is worth only its torn - and himself
He is ashamed by his nakedness.
God Himself to us the means of sending:
Know, prince, that was six years ago -
In the same year, when your Lord
Blessing on the king's power, —
In the hour of the evening came to me one day
simple shepherd, already a venerable old man,
And he told me a wonderful secret.
"In youthful years, - he said, - I was blind
And from that time I did not know the day, nor night
to old age: I was treated in vain
And zeliem and secret nasheptanem;
In vain I went up to worship
In the cloister to the great miracle workers;
I should not have out of the pit of the saints
Sprinkled water healing dark eyes;
Lord has not sent me healing.
I finally lost hope
And in the darkness of his accustomed, and even dreams
I'm not the things unseen are,
And I have dreamed only sounds. Time,
In deep sleep, I hear, a child's voice
I said: - Arise, granddad, go
You're in Uglich-grad, the Cathedral of the Transfiguration;
There you pray over my's grave,
God is gracious - and I will forgive.
- But who are you?? - I asked a child's voice.
- Prince Demetrius I. king of heaven
Hast taken me in the face of his angels,
And I am now a great miracle worker!
Go, the old man woke up and I thought:
Well? may be, indeed God
I later bestows healing.
I will go - and go far off.
Here I reached Uglich, coming
In the Holy Cathedral, and I listen to the Mass
AND, flaring heart hard, cry
so sweet, like blindness
From my eyes tears flowed.
When people began to leave, I am the grandson
Said: - Ivan, lead me to the tomb
Tsarevich Dimitri. - And the boy
Led me - and just in front of the coffin
I made a silent prayer,
My eyes saw the light; I saw
And the light of day, and grandson, and grave ".
here, prince, I told the old man.
Total confusion. In the course of this speech
Boris repeatedly wipes his face with a handkerchief.
I then sent on purpose to Uglich,
I Svedana, many sufferers
Rescue acquire a similar
At the grave of Prince boards.
Here's my advice: in the Kremlin relics
migrate, put them in the cathedral
Archangel; people will see clearly
Then deception godless villain,
And the power of demons disappear Thou dust.
Silence.

Prince Shuisky
The Holy father, who knows the way
Most High? Not for me to judge him.
Imperishable dream and power Divine Powers
It can give infant remains,
However, should the national rumor
Investigate diligently and dispassionately;
And in the turbulent times of confusion eh
We think of such a great cause?
They not say, we boldly shrine
In worldly matters are creating an instrument?
People and so fluctuates madly,
And so there are quite noisy rumors:
Minds of the people is not the time to worry
Nezhdannoyu, Tables vazhnoy novelty.
I see myself: It must be a rumor,
scattered defrocked, destroy;
But there is some other means - easier.
So, Sovereign - when wilt thou,
I will manifest itself in the People's Square,
agreement, usoveschu madness
And the evil deception to detect tramp.

King
Let it be so! Eminence Patriarch,
I beg you to the Chamber:
Today, I need your conversation.

MOSCOW. ROYAL COURT
Boris, Basmanov.

King
he defeated, what profit is?
We are vain victory crowned.
He re-gathered the scattered army
And we are on the walls of Putivl threatened.
What are our heroes, meanwhile,?
Stand in Chrome, where a handful of Cossacks
Laugh them out of the rotten fence.
That is the glory! not, I them dissatisfied,
I send thee chief over them;
not kind, and the mind put in the magistrates;
Let their arrogance about regionalism tuzhit;
It's time to despise me the murmurings of the noble mob
And to destroy the fatal habit.

Basmanov
Brother, prince, stokrat blessed
That will be the day, when the discharge books
With razdorami, with pride ancestry
fire may devour.

King
This day is not far off;
Only the first let the confusion of the people
I tame.

Basmanov
What to look at it;
Always to the dismay of the people secretly inclined:
So swift horse chews his reins;
On the authority of the father as the boy resents;
But what? horse rider calm reigns,
And the boy's father commanded.

King
The horse sometimes knocks rider,
Son of the father is not always in full will.
Only the rigor we vigilant
keep people. So thought John,
Smiritel storms, reasonable autocrat,
So I thought and his ferocious grandson.
Not, mercy does not feel the people:
Do good - he will not say thank you;
Plunder and execution - you will not be worse.
