An excerpt characterizing Kalyuzhny, Alexei Nikolaevich
“I can’t judge this,” Prince Andrei said coldly, but thought: “I’m going to save the army.”- Mon cher, vous etes un heros, [My dear, you are a hero,] - said Bilibin.
That same night, bowing to the Minister of War, Bolkonsky went to the army, not knowing where he would find her, and fearing to be intercepted by the French on the way to Krems.
In Brunn, the entire court population packed up, and heavy loads were already sent to Olmutz. Near Etzelsdorf, Prince Andrei rode onto the road along which the Russian army was moving with the greatest haste and in the greatest disorder. The road was so crowded with wagons that it was impossible to ride in a carriage. Taking a horse and a Cossack from the Cossack chief, Prince Andrey, hungry and tired, overtaking the carts, went to look for the commander-in-chief and his wagon. The most ominous rumors about the state of the army reached him along the way, and the sight of the army running in disorder confirmed these rumors.
"Cette armee russe que l" or de l "Angleterre a transportee, des extremites de l" univers, nous allons lui faire eprouver le meme sort (le sort de l "armee d" Ulm)", ["This Russian army, which English gold brought here from the end of the world, will experience the same fate (the fate of the Ulm army). ”] He recalled the words of Bonaparte’s order to his army before the start of the campaign, and these words equally aroused in him surprise at the hero of genius, a feeling of offended pride and the hope of glory. "And if there is nothing left but to die? he thought. Well, if necessary! I will do it no worse than others."
Prince Andrei looked with disdain at these endless, interfering teams, wagons, parks, artillery, and again wagons, wagons and wagons of all possible types, overtaking one another and blocking the muddy road in three, four rows. From all sides, behind and in front, as long as hearing was enough, the sounds of wheels, the rumble of bodies, carts and gun carriages, the clatter of horses, blows with a whip, shouts of prodding, curses of soldiers, batmen and officers were heard. Along the edges of the road, one could see incessantly fallen horses, skinned and not skinned, now broken wagons, in which, waiting for something, lone soldiers were sitting, then soldiers separated from the teams, who were heading in crowds to neighboring villages or dragging chickens, rams, hay or hay from the villages. bags filled with something.
On the descents and ascents, the crowds became thicker, and there was an uninterrupted groan of cries. The soldiers, drowning knee-deep in mud, picked up guns and wagons in their arms; whips beat, hooves slipped, traces burst and chests burst with screams. The officers in charge of the movement, either forward or backward, passed between the convoys. Their voices were faintly audible in the midst of the general rumble, and it was evident from their faces that they despaired of the possibility of stopping this disorder. “Voila le cher [‘Here is an expensive] Orthodox army,’ Bolkonsky thought, recalling Bilibin’s words.
Wanting to ask one of these people where the commander-in-chief was, he drove up to the wagon train. Directly opposite him rode a strange, one-horse carriage, apparently arranged by homemade soldiers' means, representing the middle between a cart, a cabriolet and a carriage. A soldier drove in the carriage and a woman sat under a leather top behind an apron, all wrapped in scarves. Prince Andrei rode up and had already addressed a question to the soldier, when his attention was drawn by the desperate cries of a woman sitting in a wagon. The officer in charge of the convoy beat the soldier, who was sitting as a coachman in this carriage, because he wanted to go around the others, and the lash fell on the apron of the carriage. The woman screamed piercingly. Seeing Prince Andrei, she leaned out from under her apron and, waving her thin hands that had popped out from under a carpet scarf, shouted:
- Adjutant! Mr. Adjutant!... For God's sake... protect... What will it be? we are lagging behind, we have lost our own ...
- I’ll break it into a cake, wrap it! the angry officer shouted at the soldier, “turn back with your whore.”
- Mr. Adjutant, protect. What is it? the doctor screamed.
- Please skip this carriage. Can't you see it's a woman? - said Prince Andrei, driving up to the officer.
The officer glanced at him and, without answering, turned back to the soldier: "I'll go round them... Get back!"...
“Let me through, I tell you,” Prince Andrei repeated again, pursing his lips.
- And who are you? suddenly the officer turned to him with drunken fury. - Who are you? You (he especially rested on you) are the boss, or what? I'm the boss here, not you. You, back, - he repeated, - I will smash into a cake.
This expression apparently pleased the officer.
- The adjutant shaved off importantly, - a voice was heard from behind.
Prince Andrei saw that the officer was in that drunken fit of causeless rage, in which people do not remember what they say. He saw that his intercession for the doctor's wife in the wagon was filled with what he feared most in the world, what is called ridicule [funny], but his instinct told otherwise. Before the officer had time to finish his last words, Prince Andrei, with a face disfigured from rabies, rode up to him and raised his whip:
- Let me out of your will!
The officer waved his hand and hurriedly drove away.
“Everything from these, from the staff, the whole mess,” he grumbled. - Do as you please.
Prince Andrei hurriedly, without raising his eyes, rode away from the doctor's wife, who called him a savior, and, recalling with disgust the smallest details of this humiliating scene, galloped on to the village where, as he was told, the commander-in-chief was.
Having entered the village, he got off his horse and went to the first house with the intention of resting at least for a minute, eating something and clearing up all these insulting thoughts that tormented him. "This is a crowd of scoundrels, not an army," he thought, going up to the window of the first house, when a familiar voice called him by name.
He looked back. Nesvitsky's handsome face protruded from a small window. Nesvitsky, chewing something with his juicy mouth and waving his hands, called him to him.
- Bolkonsky, Bolkonsky! Can't you hear, right? Go faster, he shouted.
Entering the house, Prince Andrei saw Nesvitsky and another adjutant eating something. They hurriedly turned to Bolkonsky with a question if he knew anything new. On their faces so familiar to him, Prince Andrei read an expression of alarm and anxiety. This expression was especially noticeable on the always laughing face of Nesvitsky.
Where is the commander in chief? Bolkonsky asked.
“Here, in that house,” answered the adjutant.
- Well, is it true that peace and capitulation? Nesvitsky asked.
- I'm asking you. I don't know anything except that I got to you by force.
- What about us, brother? Horror! I’m sorry, brother, they laughed at Mack, but it’s even worse for themselves, ”said Nesvitsky. - Sit down and eat something.
“Now, prince, you won’t find any wagons, and your Peter God knows where,” said another adjutant.
- Where is the main apartment?
- We will spend the night in Znaim.
“And so I packed everything I needed for myself on two horses,” said Nesvitsky, “and they made excellent packs for me. Though through the Bohemian mountains to escape. Bad, brother. What are you, really unwell, why are you trembling so? Nesvitsky asked, noticing how Prince Andrei twitched, as if from touching a Leyden jar.
“Nothing,” answered Prince Andrei.
At that moment he remembered his recent encounter with the doctor's wife and the Furshtat officer.
What is the Commander-in-Chief doing here? - he asked.
“I don’t understand anything,” said Nesvitsky.
“I only understand that everything is vile, vile and vile,” said Prince Andrei and went to the house where the commander-in-chief was standing.
Passing by Kutuzov's carriage, the tortured riding horses of the retinue, and the Cossacks, who were talking loudly among themselves, Prince Andrei entered the hallway. Kutuzov himself, as Prince Andrei was told, was in the hut with Prince Bagration and Weyrother. Weyrother was the Austrian general who replaced the slain Schmitt. In the passage little Kozlovsky was squatting in front of the clerk. The clerk, on an inverted tub, turned up the cuffs of his uniform, hastily wrote. Kozlovsky's face was exhausted - he, apparently, also did not sleep the night. He glanced at Prince Andrei and did not even nod his head at him.
- The second line ... Did you write? - he continued, dictating to the clerk, - Kyiv grenadier, Podolsky ...
“You won’t be in time, your honor,” the clerk answered irreverently and angrily, looking back at Kozlovsky.
At that time, Kutuzov's animatedly dissatisfied voice was heard from behind the door, interrupted by another, unfamiliar voice. By the sound of these voices, by the inattention with which Kozlovsky looked at him, by the irreverence of the exhausted clerk, by the fact that the clerk and Kozlovsky were sitting so close to the commander-in-chief on the floor near the tub, and by the fact that the Cossacks holding the horses laughed loudly under by the window of the house - for all this, Prince Andrei felt that something important and unfortunate was about to happen.
Prince Andrei urged Kozlovsky with questions.
“Now, prince,” said Kozlovsky. - Disposition to Bagration.
What about surrender?
- There is none; orders for battle were made.
Prince Andrei went to the door, through which voices were heard. But just as he was about to open the door, the voices in the room fell silent, the door opened of its own accord, and Kutuzov, with his aquiline nose on his plump face, appeared on the threshold.
Prince Andrei stood directly opposite Kutuzov; but from the expression of the commander-in-chief's only sighted eye, it was clear that thought and care occupied him so much that it seemed as if his vision was obscured. He looked directly at the face of his adjutant and did not recognize him.
- Well, are you finished? he turned to Kozlovsky.
“Just a second, Your Excellency.
Bagration, short, with an oriental type of hard and motionless face, dry, not yet an old man, followed the commander-in-chief.
“I have the honor to appear,” Prince Andrei repeated rather loudly, handing the envelope.
“Ah, from Vienna?” Good. After, after!
Kutuzov went out with Bagration to the porch.
“Well, good-bye, prince,” he said to Bagration. “Christ is with you. I bless you for a great achievement.
Kutuzov's face suddenly softened, and tears appeared in his eyes. He pulled Bagration to himself with his left hand, and with his right hand, on which there was a ring, he apparently crossed him with a habitual gesture and offered him a plump cheek, instead of which Bagration kissed him on the neck.
- Christ is with you! Kutuzov repeated and went up to the carriage. “Sit down with me,” he said to Bolkonsky.
“Your Excellency, I would like to be of service here. Let me stay in the detachment of Prince Bagration.
“Sit down,” said Kutuzov and, noticing that Bolkonsky was slowing down, “I myself need good officers, I myself need them.
They got into the carriage and drove in silence for several minutes.
“There is still a lot ahead, a lot of things will be,” he said with an senile expression of insight, as if he understood everything that was going on in Bolkonsky’s soul. “If one tenth of his detachment comes tomorrow, I will thank God,” added Kutuzov, as if talking to himself.
Prince Andrei glanced at Kutuzov, and involuntarily caught in his eyes, half a yard away from him, the cleanly washed-out assemblies of a scar on Kutuzov's temple, where an Ishmael bullet had pierced his head, and his leaky eye. “Yes, he has the right to speak so calmly about the death of these people!” thought Bolkonsky.
“That is why I ask you to send me to this detachment,” he said.
Kutuzov did not answer. He seemed to have already forgotten what he had said, and sat in thought. Five minutes later, swaying smoothly on the soft springs of the carriage, Kutuzov turned to Prince Andrei. There was no trace of excitement on his face. With subtle mockery, he asked Prince Andrei about the details of his meeting with the emperor, about the reviews heard at court about the Kremlin affair, and about some mutual acquaintances of women.
