Dal biography of Vladimir

Vladimir Dal. The main interpreter of the Russian language for no matter what he would take, he did everything professionally and interestingly. Let's start from the very beginning. He was born on November 22 in the village of Lugansk Plant in a very highly educated family. His father, a Russified Danes, was a doctor, a linguist, mother - a pianist and knew 12 languages. With such parents, he could get an excellent home education.

In the year, Vladimir enters the St. Petersburg Marine Cadet Corps. At the end, it goes to serve by the fleet, and after a few years of military service it enters the Medical Department of the University of Derpt, Tartu University. He graduates from the university and again goes to serve on the fleet. At first, Dahl expected the Russian-Turkish war of the years, and a little later-the Polish campaign of the year.

Everywhere he is in the thick of events. Fights, helps the wounded, operates in field hospitals. Since the year, Vladimir Ivanovich decided on the public service. In Orenburg, where he is transferred, he is an official on special assignments at the military governor Vasily Perovsky. He travels a lot to the Southern Urals, collects folklore materials, which later formed the basis of his works.

Reflected in the texts of Dahl and his participation in the Khiva campaign. In the year, he again in St. Petersburg and serves as a secretary at Leo Perovsky, the Minister of Internal Affairs and his own brother of the Orenburg governor, and later heads a special office at the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Since the year, he worked in Nizhny Novgorod, controlling the specific office.

Here are briefly the official biography of a major official, the actual state adviser V. Fairy tale, a writer, a scientist, now let me go to another, most interesting side of his life. In the year, the first book of Dahl “Russian fairy tales from the tradition of folk oral ... heels the first.” They were prepared on behalf of the Cossack Vladimir Lugansk.

Tales, on the one hand, brought him fame, and on the other, they served as an occasion for his arrest. There was a denunciation, fairy tales considered unreliable and ... Dalya saved the poet Vasily Zhukovsky from further repression, who was a mentor of the heir to the throne and gave a petition to consider the incident with Dal a misunderstanding, presented what happened in an anecdotal light.

The accusations were removed, but the book was destroyed, however, the author himself managed to save several copies. During the service in the Southern Urals, Vladimir Ivanovich traveled the entire region, collected folklore materials, and was engaged in natural sciences. His collections in the flora and fauna of the Orenburg Territory served as the basis for the election of it as a corresponding member of the St.

Petersburg Academy of Sciences. And the local materials that he collected formed the basis of his works “Hunting for the Wolves”, “Bashkir Mermaid”, “Main”, “Mistinee”, “Bashkirs”. Dahl always considered acquaintance with Pushkin one of the most significant events in life. They were introduced by Zhukovsky. At the first meeting, Dahl gave Alexander Sergeyevich one of the preserved copies of “Tales”.

Pushkin liked the gift and, in response, he handed Vladimir Ivanovich a handwritten version of the “Tale of the Pope and the employee of his Balde” with an autograph. Already soon, in September, Dal, along with Pushkin, drove through the Pugachev places of the Orenburg region. The most tragic meeting with Pushkin was the participation of a doctor Dahl in the treatment of a wounded poet after a duel with Dantes.

Dahl remained with Pushkin until the last minute. The dying poet gave Vladimir Ivanovich the golden-dalisman ring with an emerald. Dahl refused, but Pushkin said: "Take it, friend, I can no longer write." In Nizhny Novgorod, the distance completed the book about Russian proverbs. Censorship in the year in every possible way opposed the publication of the collection.

At the collection, Dal wrote "The proverb is not judged." Nevertheless, the book was published only during the period of Alexander reforms. The explanatory dictionary of Dahl was the main brainchild of Dahl, to which he devoted almost his whole life - the explanatory dictionary of the living Great Russian language. He began to collect incomprehensible words to the future dictionary when he was the Black Sea Fleet by the midshipman.

Dahl closely communicated with peasants, soldiers, sailors. He wrote out common expressions, proverbs and sayings. When the dictionary was prepared to the letter “P”, the author resigned to finish the work with the vocabulary. Since the year, he has settled in Moscow on Presnya, on Bolshaya Georgian Street. In a wooden house purchased here, he finishes work on a dictionary.

The book contains about thousands of words and 30 thousand sayings, riddles and sayings necessary to explain the meaning of the words given. Only up to a year, Dahl’s dictionary was reprinted about 40 times, and in the period from the years - about times. The first parts of the published dictionary brought the author the Konstantinovsky medal from the Imperial Russian Geographical Society, in the year was elected to the honorary members of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, and when the dictionary was fully released, was awarded the Lomonosov Prize.

Vladimir Ivanovich Dahl died at the age of 70 on October 4 and was buried at the Vagankovsky cemetery. Cover: V. Perov "Portrait of V. Dahl", year. From the collection of the Tretyakov Gallery.
