Kosta Khetagurov's birthday presentation. Kosta khetagurov is the founder of Ossetian literature. I. Organizational moment. Introductory conversation


Costa himself wrote in his autobiography: “I was born in 1859 in the Ossetian village of Nar, high in the Caucasus Mountains, on a rocky ledge, and when the fog clears, it resembles a ship amidst centuries-old heaps of ridges, mountain crevices, and narrow gorges. My father Levan Elizbarovich Khetagurov was a participant in the Hungarian campaign to pacify Poland. At the head of the regiment of the indigenous population of the North and South Caucasus, he served in Vladikavkaz, commanding a hundred Ossetian militia. My mother, Maria Gavrilovna Khetagurova-Gubaeva, was the daughter of a warrant officer of the Russian troops, she died when I was 2 years old, and I was raised in great love by Chenza Khetagurova, a distant relative on the paternal side, a woman of a golden heart and good disposition. " Family


The father understood the importance of enlightenment and tried to give his son an education: the Narsk rural school, the Vladikavkaz progymnasium, the Kalandzhinskoe primary school, the Stavropol gymnasium. Costa found himself under the tutelage of the wonderful pedagogues-trustees of the educational institutions of the region, Ya.M. Neverov, the drawing teacher of the gymnasium V.I. Smirnov, who helped to reveal his great talent. Costa began to paint early, and in 1877 his paintings were sent to Moscow for the All-Russian exhibition of works by students of secondary educational institutions, where they received the highest praise. Kosta Khetagurov in his student years


In the early eighties, Costa went to St. Petersburg, where he passed the school of mastery from Repin, Makovsky, Surikov, Serov, Vrubel, who later became the pride of Russian classical art. His paintings are world famous: Natural Bridge, For Water, Zikar Pass, Grieving Angel, Dining Mountain, Teberda Valley, Portrait of Misibri Gutiev, Portrait of Anna Tsalikova, his decorations for Hadji Murat and the Gypsy Baron are known. In 1887, the exhibition of the painting Saint Nina Equal to the Apostles, the enlightener of Georgia in the Vladikavkaz commercial club was such a success that some people had to touch the painting with their hand to make sure it was a canvas and not a living person. Self-portrait of K. Khetagurov




In St. Petersburg K. Khetagurov began to actively engage in literary activity. Costa is getting closer to the family of Sofia Vasilievna Tarkhanova, - said Tombashki. - Such representatives of the advanced Russian and Caucasian intelligentsia as brothers Javakhishvili, Andronnikov, Koni, geographer Miklukho-Maclay, Scheller-Mikhailov, Alexandrov (defender of Vera Zasulich), N.A. Morozov, K.D. Eristavi, E .M. Semenskaya and others. Traditionally, Kosta Khetagurov is considered the founder of the literary Ossetian language. In 1899, he published a collection of poetry "Ossetian lyre" (Osset. "Iron fandyr"), in which, among other things, poems for children in the Ossetian language were first published. From St. Petersburg, Khetagurov is expelled for political reasons to Vladikavkaz, where he is published in the newspapers Kazbek, the North Caucasus, and in the Terskie Vedomosti magazine. The satirical poem Who Lives in Russia Cheerfully is published by the newspaper North Caucasus, Kosta writes poetry in the Ossetian and Russian languages.


In 1891, by order of the head of the Terek region, General Kakhanov, he was expelled from Vladikavkaz for a protest written in the name of the Chief Prosecutor of the Most Holy Synod Pobedonostsev about the closure of a girls' school. Kosta left Vladikavkaz for the village of Georgievsko-Ossetianskoye to his elderly father. Perhaps the most difficult time in the poet's life began. Now he was completely excluded from the social environment and doomed to lead an aimless existence: he was no longer and could not be a simple peasant, and he had no opportunity to apply his knowledge and talent to any important and worthy cause. In January 1892, Costa faced even more severe blows of fate. The matchmaking to a long and beloved girl Anna Alexandrovna Tsalikova ended with a polite refusal. The poet's father died.

Costa worked in this edition until 1897. And these years were the time of the most intense creative and social activity of the Ossetian poet. In four years, he turned from an obscure provincial poet into a prominent literary figure of his time. All these years Kosta wrote not only in Russian. In July 1897, Kosta Khetagurov was forced to undergo an operation. It went well, but tuberculosis of the hip was not conquered. In October, the poet had to leave for St. Petersburg and again see a doctor. On November 25, he underwent a difficult operation, after which he did not get out of bed for six months. In June 1898, Costa returned to his homeland, where he continued his treatment. On May 26, 1899 Costa was already on his way to the place of new exile on the initiative of the same General Kakhanov, whom Costa annoyed with his articles and satirical works. Upon his return to the Caucasus in March 1900, Costa again began to collaborate in the periodicals of Stavropol. Pyatigorsk and Vladikavkaz. His journalism became even more acute and problematic. He was no less active. than in the heyday of his journalism. And, it seemed, a new, more mature period of his work had begun, but it was soon discovered that the poet's strength was at the end, that his health was irreparably broken.


In December 1901 Kosta moved to Vladikavkaz, deciding to settle here forever. He takes an active part in all local cultural and educational events. He is engaged in painting. As a publicist, he continues to work on the poem "Khetag", tries to open a drawing school for gifted children, assumes to take over the editing of the newspaper "Kazbek". However, all these undertakings remained unfinished or unfulfilled. By the end of 1903, Costa, sick and lonely, spent in an unheated apartment, deprived not only of medical care, but also of basic supervision. Material difficulties were so hopeless that the proud Costa sometimes had to ask his friends for bread. In the summer, his sister came for him and took him to his native village. The poet lived for three more years. But he could no longer return to creative and social activities. I believe that every Ossetian can be considered a worthy son of his people to the extent that he values \u200b\u200band loves Costa. V. ABAEV


On March 19, 1906, his noble heart stopped beating. During the poet's lifetime, few people understood the true meaning of Costa's artistic creativity and social activities. But when he was gone, it was clearly revealed that a man of extraordinary talent, wisdom and courageous character had left. The memory of Costa is still alive today among the people. He is also chanted today by those against whom his pen was directed: servants of all stripes, selling and betraying the people and the Motherland. I never traded with my word, never received money from anyone for one of my lines. And I do not write in order to write and print, because many people do it. No! I do not need the laurels of such a writing, nor the benefits from it. I write what I can no longer hold back in my aching heart ... (K. Khetagurov)


I want to conclude with Costa's words, expressing the meaning of his life and work: I did not know happiness, but I am ready for freedom, Which I am used to cherish as happiness, Give in one step, which would be the people, I could ever pave to freedom.

But when he was gone, it was clearly revealed that a man of extraordinary talent, wisdom and courageous character had left. The memory of Costa is still alive today among the people. He is also chanted today by those against whom his pen was directed: servants of all stripes, selling and betraying the people and the Motherland.

He sang love, but the voice was sad. Alas, he knew love only torment.

V. Zhukovsky


  • Costa's life and destiny have developed in such a way that he was given the role of a fighter, be it a fighter for the people's happiness, or for his own. The poet himself noted that he is half happy, since "... the first and main half of happiness is to love oneself, and already to be loved means to enjoy the aggravated happiness of love." He will never be deprived of the first component of happiness. In one of his poems, he exclaims:
  • I'm happy that I love - love one obedient, Under her banner I will go to mortal battle, I will go to the court of the cold, wild, absurd crowd With a clear conscience, with a jubilant soul ...

For the implementation of the second component Costa will fight all his life.


One of his first surviving poetic experiments is considered a poem addressed to a certain "Faith", which was probably the first hobby of the young poet

Vera! Whom your heart could only love You want to appropriate yourself completely and rightfully! But he is already yours completely inseparable and holy! Sweetheart, know: all movement is far from you Noisy, fast-paced life Seems like a light taffeta through which I I see your face incessantly - and it shines To me he, affably faithful, like eternal stars, Burning brightly with an iridescent sheen from the darkness.

"Ossetian Costa"



Yes I'm too old ... You look fearfully On sunken eyes, on furrows of wrinkles ... My waist is drawn ugly in rags, A lot of disheveled gray hairs. The grave for me is a desirable gift from heaven ... Yes, I'm too old ...


The image of Anna Popova became a source of inspiration for Costa as an artist. Firstly, he created a famous portrait of her, painted in oil in the mid-80s. Anna served as a model both for the creation of the paintings "The Grieving Angel", painted in 1888, and "Saint Nina", commissioned by Costa by the women's educational institution of St. Nina in Tiflis and shown at an exhibition in Vladikavkaz in 1887.



Kosta Khetagurov met his second love, Anna Alexandrovna Tsalikova, a few years later after meeting Anna Popova.

Anna was a man of versatile talents: she sang, danced, played the accordion, and acted. She was charming, kind, with a subtle sense of humor. Costa loved her and did not lose hope for reciprocity. However, Anna did not say "yes" or "no" to the poet in love.

This uncertainty in the relationship made Costa suffer.


Costa also dedicated a number of poems to Anna Tsalikova. This - "I am outliving the century, you are just beginning to live ..." (1893), "Again to you, beloved friend ..." (1894), "What to regret ... Sick breath of the storm .. . "(1894)," It is not difficult to part, it is not difficult to kill ... "(1894)," Do not believe that I have forgotten our native mountains ... "(1896)," Openness "(1899) .), "Confession", "A.A.Ts."

I am outliving a century, you are just beginning to live, -

I'm exhausted under the burden of toil

Struggle and poverty; you have fun ripping off

Spring flowers ... I am old, you are young.

Why did we meet? Why is a broken soul

Did I love you as a friend, as a sister?

After all, I finished my glass, and yours, barely poured,

Stands untouched at the feast of life.

Yes, we are not on our way ... But, having met you,

I bless the staff and bag again, -

I'll hit the strings with a trembling hand

And I will proclaim freedom and love to the world.

I often played rhymes

Not being a poet,

But how he loved and how he suffered, -

He did not speak at the same time.

Now I am my confession

I want to tell the world:

I love, I painfully love,

I love Annette like life.


In the end, Costa, realizing that his relationship with Anna had no prospects, apparently reconciled with this idea, in any case, he no longer attempted to ask for Anna Tsalikova's hand.

And in 1902 he even asked for the hand of the daughter of his friend Ioram Khurumov, Leli Khurumova, and received consent. The marriage was prevented by the death of Lyolya, who died at 22 from tuberculosis.




To all the girls to whom Costa at different times dedicated poems or whose portraits he painted, he will dedicate the poem "Portrait Gallery".

Portrait gallery This one - Vera is still a schoolgirl, Near Coser, she is Natalia, Lyuba is a student and Olga is a student, Anya and Anya 18 - wonderful waist! This Nastasya is an ideological girl With German exposure, but with warm affection. Lelka the Fratsuzhenka is a glorious child, Elena is next to the Jewish leaven ...


I didn't know happiness, but I'm ready for freedom, Which I used to cherish as happiness, Give one step, which would be to the people, I was able to pave to freedom someday.
