On recent organised gosfilmofondom Russia V festival
Archival cinema "White п я п?п п я -2001" the first has taken place in Russia
Public display of a mute French film "the Madonna of the sleeping
Cars "in which as the supernumerary in a tiny role has acted in film Sergey
Efron, husband Marina Tsvetaeva.
The next archival festival "Found cinema" in Bologna,
Passing on an outcome of the last century if promised sensations
Especially shop, intracinema, interesting
To exclusively historians yes to archivists.
In the same place this sensation was noticed by anybody, for on bolonskom
Festival she spoke nothing to anybody.
Actually, about what speech was messages? About a fiction
French fiction writer Morisa Dekobra, about which, not hiding
Malice, resembling Eisenstein recollected in memoirs, naming most
The author "the Madonna of sleepers" that writes the "netlenku",
Nowadays strongly forgotten, on the post paper stolen from hotels?
About the film with the same name "Madonna of sleepers", put
In France in 1927 directors Marko de Gastinom and Morisom
Glezom? Them know in any way more, than the author of the primary source.
Conversation it would be possible for a message about the French cinemateque, which
Has saved a film, restored its copy, having shown it in Bologna.
The name of the known could call However, certain interest
Russian actor Vladimir Gajdarova, and also other names
protagonistov in a caption, somehow: Irina Muraveva, Ivanov,
Chapinsky, Varyshkin. Yes a plot which is untwisted in the beginning 20
Both in London and Berlin, and in Batume, already at Councils.
Extravagant, successful and charming lady Diana Uajnem,
Which it is accepted to name also the Madonna of sleepers,
Is on the verge of ruin. Its secretary a Gerard, it the prince
Seliman, is intended to rescue it from accident. Having got of support
The representative of Councils Varyshkina, it goes in Batum, that
To agree there about belonging ladies Diana oil concessions.
Mistress Varyshkina Irina Muraveva suspects, that it
The lover is intended to marry lady Diana. It will organise arrest
Gerard, a sentence over which should result just about in
Execution.
Rescued at the last minute, that nevertheless comes back to a yacht
Dianas. Diligence Varyshkina intriguer Irina Muravevu possible
To neutralise.
Neither the plot, nor its screen working out of special interest to call
Could not. The author of novel Moris Dekobra, no less than it
Contemporaries-fiction writers of type Storera Klaustouna or Pierre Mak-
Sea eagle, for a long time also have irrevocably sunk into oblivion.
All it so, but nevertheless the unique microplot should
To involve attention, but exclusively Russian spectator.
Sokamernik the hero on the Batumi prison enters the last into a course
Local usages, in particular, the conditional language accepted here.
When escorts say to the next prisoner, that now at night
Its turn to leave on walk in a city, it means execution. On
To steam with the fellow sufferer the hero listens through
Prison wall that occurs in the next chamber where and
The guards were declared.
And further the tiny episode, in which sitting follows on
Earthen to a floor of the prisoner and for which euphemism about "to walk in
The city "more than is transparent, escorts drag out.
But also it would not involve steadfast attention, if in
The current of 12 seconds on the screen would not be distinguishable the person of the supernumerary...
Efron Sergey Jakovlevicha.
To be mistaken, mistake - it is absolutely excluded. Has flown
So familiar on numerous koktebelskim and Moscow
To photos of 1910th years the narrow person, as in 36 years, in emigration,
There was "like a sword", characteristic efronovskaja a line of lips,
Profile of Sergey Efron recognised in different foreshortenings.
Tiny, almost instant episode was more than is eloquent.
The consumptive beauty tsvetaevskogo the elect has not grown dull yet in
The first Parisian - after revolution and Czechia - years.
ekspressivnost plastics, precipitancy in turns of a head and
Shoulders, a long brush of expressive palms that in entreaty, in
Despair before the inevitable... And leanness of shape - hollow cheeks,
Thin neck, sharp knees, and nervousness and overexcitement
The movement measured and closed by a casemate!.
Whether only they have been measured by a problem of a role? And whether has played the such
Role who other of Russian emigrants, any actor -
The layman living then somewhere in Parisian Passi, in
Own, how Merezhkovskys, the house? Philosophers, for example? Was
Whether need?. At the same general Russian-emigrant poverty...
And at Efron and all tsvetaevskoj families with their inescapable kochevem,
With eternal bezdomem and a lack of money - was, and more what!
It is necessary to re-read Marina Ivanovny and Sergey Jakovlevicha's letters
That year. Efron to sisters - to Moscow, Tsvetaeva - to whoever that
Was.
In one of them to Anna Teskovoj from October, 20th, 1927
Tsvetaeva writes: "With" ergej "I" kovlevich "... Loses... The last
Health.
Earnings with 5/2 ch. Mornings to 7 - 8 vech "era" game in
Cinema the figurant for 40 fr "ankov" in day, from to "otor" yh 5
fr "ankov" leave on road and 7 fr "ankov" for a dinner, - total for 28
fr "ankov" in day. And - it is a lot of such days - if 2 in a week... ".
Yes, it any more Passi, and Parisian vyselki - Issi-le-Mulino,
Medon, Belvju, Klamar, Vanv - with begging Tsvetaevas,
Andreevymi, Elchaninovymi and nest it of number.
But and not become the cinema actor, Sergey Efron in
The unique role on the screen has managed to play not only and not
It is so much poverty on the verge of despair of Parisian Russian emigration. All
It, naturally, remains behind brackets. Fatal and it is perfect
Inexplicably he has played own destiny.
Having agreed for the offered role - whether was at it thus
Choice? - The prisoner-condemned man in the Batumi prison, supernumerary Efron
Has anticipated the ending of own life. Has anticipated exactly for 14
Years the execution in casemates Lubjanki in the autumn of 1941.
Whether it has felt a tragical sign, whether there was in it something from
Fatal daring in game with destiny - anybody from us never it
Learns.
As well as it is not known to us, whether saw "the Madonna of sleepers"
Liking to visit the Parisian cinemas (if there was money
On the ticket) Marina Ivanovna. Anyway, in the published
The arch tsvetaevskih materials the name it does not appear.
But we will dare to admit, that after a film exit on
The French screens after its premier display on April, 28th 1928
Year she nevertheless has looked this picture. Extremely sympathetic on
Terrestrial signs, in many coincidence seeing not casual
Communication (if not a destiny finger), whether has become isolated it in silence on
To it is so fatal - to an occasion? Children - on the early childhood - were not
In the bill. Sergey Jakovlevich, having carried out on the screen not very well what, but
Own role, has plunged further into literary affairs under the edition
Emigrant magazine. And Tsvetaeva was silent all next years with
Followed in them efronovskoj a trajectory - from "the Union
Homecomings "before acceptance of the firm decision to return in
The USSR, with its secret-service cooperation with People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs in an interval. Not
Whether stood at it before eyes, having been engraved in the memory, these screen
12 seconds of possible destiny of the liked husband - and if also all family? -
After returning? And whether there were they if not the reason,
Making its firm desires not to come back, fear of return
On so liked and such terrible native land? Both the husband, and the daughter, and
The grown up son, as is known, burnt with the desire to return and
To carry out itself in socialist building. Tsvetaeva in
The protestantizme and here remained in loneliness. Remained
Till the latest moment.
And when all already became inevitably, when after failure
Act of terrorism of the Soviet bodies in Switzerland the last of nothing
Remains, as in feverish haste to take out Sergey Efron in
Moscow, and round remained with the son (daughter Ariadna has returned on
The native land of the first) and called on interrogations in police of Tsvetaeva,
As if round leprous, it was closed still bolshee a ring
Emigrant damnation, - any other exit any more
Remains...
And in the last in front of Moscow the letter to the same Anna Teskovoj from
On June, 12th, 1939 Marina Tsvetaeva on the move will write trains: "Now
Not so hard, already - destiny... ".
Tragedy of a family of Tsvetaeva in the USSR, as is known, with interest
Has surpassed the most gloomy fears.
The only thing about what the knowing Marina Tsvetaeva has not learnt all,
That couple of months later after its fatal loop in Elabuge 31
August, 1941 the destiny will prepare for Sergey Efron liked by it so
Fatal outcome frightening it - that which has been played by it
For 12 seconds on the screen in "the Madonna of sleepers" in the summer
Or in the autumn such far and as used to say in other occasion
