Characters (edit)

The prototypes of the main characters in the animated series were Larry (→ Peter Griffin) and Steve (→ Brian) from the animated short films “The Life of Larry” () and “Larry and Steve” ().

Screensaver

In the vast majority of episodes, the splash screen is the same:

We are shown the family guy's living room, in which he sits and sings the opening song. A little later he joins it, and then, at the same time, and. After that, the whole family, dressed in shiny yellow stage costumes, is transported with their song to a chic variety hall. There they gradually climb up the stairs installed on the stage, the camera looks at them strictly from above, the name of the animated series appears.

The episode name is not shown in any episode (except for "" and "").

Occasionally, the splash screen changes slightly:

• in the episode "" at the end of the cutscene, Peter stumbles and falls down this stage staircase, crushing one of the dancers with his weight;
• In the episode "", Peter is shown in front of the main cutscene taking art lessons from the TV.

Or even radically different:

• in episodes "" and "" it is made in the style of American cartoons of the middle, and only Stewie and Brian are present in it;
• in the episode "" she is a parody of the American animated series "" ();
• in episode "", critics were delighted with an unusual cutscene in which Peter watches 29 shows that were canceled by FOX after the Family Guy banned, and says that if so, they have a chance to make a comeback;

Among these films and games, you can notice: "" ("") (), "" ("") (), "" ("") (), "" ( ) (), " " and " " (" ") (). At the end of the cutscene, Stewie drives in, forcing him to run into the house from the animated series in horror, which completely copies part of the cutscene of this show.

Family Griffin

Peter Griffin

Origin
According to the Holy Crap series, Peter was raised by Francis Griffin and Thelma Griffin. As a child, he was baptized in the Roman Catholic faith, but to the great chagrin of his father, Peter did not become a devout man. In one of the episodes, it is mentioned that Peter is Cancer by his zodiac sign. Apparently he was born in July. Several episodes mention that he is 43 years old.
Youth
As a child, he was not a very diligent boy, several times he stayed at school for the second year. Once in the company he tried LSD, which caused him to fall out of the window and almost crash. According to the episodes "Peter, Peter, Caviar Eater" and "Death Lives" in his youth, Peter worked in a hotel in Newport (wore towels), where he met Lois Purdishmith (his future wife), the daughter of Carter Purdischmith, a wealthy industrialist. Carter was not thrilled with Peter, believing that his daughter was much higher on the social ladder. Therefore, his henchmen kidnap Peter and throw him into the ocean. But Peter escaped and managed, with the help of friends, to return to Newport. Carter offered Peter a million dollar deal in exchange for a promise to stay away from his daughter. But Peter refuses the money, marries Lois and settles in the town of Quahog.
Professions
Since the start of the series, Peter has worked as a conveyor worker at the Joy Toys Quahog Toy Factory. When the factory owner dies in an accident, Peter is unemployed. He searches for himself for a long time and eventually becomes a fisherman. After some time, he again changes his specialty and goes to work at the brewery. during certain episodes, he also sometimes changes professions (director of a tobacco factory, director of a school, sheriff, etc.)
Character and habits
Stupid, fat selfish is the definition that best fits Peter. He is vain and confident in his genius (“I have such a brilliant idea that my head would explode if it realized what I was thinking”), cowardly and greedy. His “ingenious” ideas tend to get in trouble, which is the overwhelming majority of the series' plots. Peter's favorite pastime is watching TV. His sphere of interests includes serials ("Gumbles", etc.), news blocks, stupid action films ... in a word, everything. Peter is a chronic alcoholic and refuses treatment. I do not smoke.

Origin
Lois was born in Newport to the wealthy industrialist Carter Perdischmith. She was brought up in an atmosphere of indifference of her parents (in the series "Let" s Go to the Hop "Lois recalls how her father refused to buy the kidnapped daughter from the terrorists because he" does not negotiate with the bandits ").
Meet Peter
Although Peter and Lois belonged to different social strata, they met at the Country Club Hotel (episode "Peter, Peter, Caviar Eater"), where Peter worked as a towel distributor. Peter impressed Lois with his sincerity and cheerful character, so different from the cold stiffness of the young people of her circle. Although the father was strongly against their marriage (Carter offered Peter a million dollars in exchange for a promise not to see his daughter) Lois and Peter got married. Perhaps an overheard conversation between Peter and Carter, in which the groom refused a large sum for her, played a major role for Lois in choosing a future husband. She appreciated the nobility and disinterestedness of her husband, which, alas, are not typical for Peter.
Future life
Having married and settled with Peter in the town of Quahoge, Lois went headlong into caring for her husband and children. She devotes all her time to homework and fixing the troubles Peter loves to get into.
Professions
In her free time from household chores, Lois gives piano lessons. At the same time, in some episodes, she also worked outside the home.
Character and habits
Lois is generally balanced and calm. She serves as a kind of counterbalance to Peter, with his extravagant ideas and adventurous character. But at the same time, Lois makes it clear every now and then that she is not a "blue stocking" or a conservative: she is fond of martial arts, demonstrates to Meg how to kiss girls, etc.
Sexuality
Lois is quite attractive and sexy. In addition to Peter, who is madly in love with his wife and jealous of her even of his own reflection in the mirror, other men also have views of Lois: Glen Quagmire, Mr. Pinchley (an Englishman, a pub keeper who set Peter up) and others. In addition, in the episode "Fifteen Minutes of Shame" she teaches Meg how to French kiss a girl, that is, there is a hint of Lois's bisexuality.

Origin
Chris was born in Quahog. He was an unplanned child (his parents broke a condom during conception), but thanks to a lawsuit against the contraceptive manufacturer, the Family Guy were able to buy a house (which is why Lois calls Chris "my favorite mistake").
Habits and hobbies
Chris is significantly behind in his development. Many of his statements and actions would be more suitable for a 5-year-old baby. His favorite hobby is drawing. In the series "A Picture is Worth a 1,000 Bucks" Chris becomes a professional artist and arranges an exhibition of his paintings.
Excess weight
Ever since birth, Chris' weight was much higher than the norm (an article was devoted to him in the newspaper - "a local woman had a baby elephant", series "He" s Too Sexy For His Fat "). Subsequently, Chris, embarrassed by his weight, with the help of Peter tried to lose weight. going in for sports and dieting, which did not give results.He refused the offer of liposuction, considering it an artificial and unnecessary means.
Angry monkey
Chris has a wicked monkey in Chris’s closet, constantly grinning his teeth and pointing a finger at Chris. Chris is very afraid of her and tries not to be alone in his room. According to him, the monkey was not always angry, and became so only when he found his wife in bed with another monkey (series "Ready, Willing and Disabled").
Herbert
Herbert is an old, lisping ephebophile (boy lover) who sometimes harass Chris. Talking to Chris, Herbert calls him "the mushroom peddler", and behind his back - "fat-ass". Chris does not understand the purpose of harassment and finds Herbert funny and kind.

Origin
Born in Quahog. In the series, there is a hint of the presence of a tail at birth. In one of the episodes, Brian mentions the name of her real father - Stan Thompson. It is unclear if this is a joke or if the authors will further develop this plot line. Originally (at the beginning of the first season) Meg is 15 years old. In the episode "I Never Met the Dead Man" of the same season, she is already 16 years old. In the fifth season (episode "Peter" s Two Dads) she officially turns 17.
Professions
Despite her young age, she managed to change several professions - she was a waitress (she worked part-time, hoping to save money for a new bag), a trainee on television, etc.
Character and habits
The main thing in Meg's character is her complexes about her appearance and her persistent desire to please guys, to have girlfriends. For this, she saves money for an expensive bag, learns to drive, joins the squad of standard bearers. Making fun of Meg's appearance is one of the favorite tricks of the authors of the series (apparently by this they make it clear how important it is to have high self-esteem - for example, over Chris, whose appearance is also far from perfect, is not so bullied). Keeps a diary (reading it is one of the types of entertainment for the whole Family Guy). Signature of Meg - offended, she runs away down the stairs to her room.
Personal life
Extremely unsuccessful. Most of all, Meg wants to become her own in the company of the first school beauty - Koni D "Amiko. But Koni and her friends, as a rule, scoff at Meg, make her a laughing stock. Fell in love with TV announcer Tom Tucker and Mayor of Quahog Adam West. Mag is in love with the only one the guy she totally dislikes is Neil Goldman, a nerdy, pimply bespectacled man with bad diction. In Season 4, in "Don" t Make Me Over, she lost her virginity to Jimmy Fallon during Saturday Night Live

Origin
Born 7 years ago on a farm near Austin (Texas). One of the five puppies of the dog Tartinka. In childhood, he was taken from his mother, in connection with which Brian believed that his mother had disowned him (although Tartinka loved all her puppies). His life before meeting Peter Griffin is unknown. Peter Griffin picked up Brian on the street. At the time, Brian was a "mangy, homeless dog" washing cars. Brian became essentially a member of the Family Guy.
Relatives
In addition to the aforementioned mother - the dog Tartinki (now deceased) - has a cousin Jasper, also a talking dog.
Professions
Although the show does not indicate that Brian is a professional actor, it is perfectly valid to draw such a conclusion. This is evidenced by the following facts:
.Brian is very artistic, has a keen sense of art and acting. Sings often and well.
. In the series "King is dead" he participates in a local theater performance.
. In "From Method to Madness" Brian auditioned for the role.
Brian also majored in other areas. He was:
.Police dog (series "The Thin White Line"), drug search specialist.
. Writer (unsuccessful) and porno director (won special prize) in Hollywood ("Brian Does Hollywood")
.The Sheriff's Assistant ("To Love and Die in Dixie" series)
.Teacher at school ("Fast Times at Buddy Cianci Jr. High" series)
Character and habits
Brian is phlegmatic by nature. He is reasonable and does not like hasty decisions, although on rare occasions he can fall into a rage or commit rash and sometimes dishonest acts (stealing a golden shell in the Love Thy Trophy series). Brian is well educated, despite incomplete higher education (left college in his last year, unable to withstand the load). He speaks French, Tagalog and some Spanish. Brian smokes cigarettes and drinks alcoholic beverages. In "Mr. Griffin Goes to Washington", Brian tried to quit smoking (as a protest against the tobacco company), and as a result became irritable and angry. In the episode "The Thin White Line" Brian, having entered the job of a bloodhound in the police, is addicted to cocaine (got rid of drug addiction after a course of treatment). Frequently visits a psychologist.
Personal life
Although Brian is a dog, he does not always give preference to individuals of his kind.
.In the episode "Brian Wallows and Peter" s Swallows "Brian falls in love with the forgotten opera star of the 30s, discovering in her
a close-minded person. Unfortunately, at the end of the episode, the singer dies.
. In the episode "Brian in Love" Brian suddenly falls in love with Lois, but she rejects his love, offering to remain friends.
In Screwed The Pooch, Brian meets Seabris, the hound of Lois's father, Mr. Purdishmith. During the race, Brian breaks down and copulates with Sebris. Upon learning that Sebris is pregnant, Brian is required to either renounce paternity or agree to be castrated. As a noble dog, Brian is ready to sacrifice himself to the puppies, but, fortunately, at the last moment it turns out that the father of the puppies is not he, but ... Mr. Purdishmith himself.
In "The Perfect Castaway" of the fifth season, Brian marries Lois (Peter is missing in a shipwreck). But after the return of Peter, Brian, realizing that Lois's heart belongs to her ex-husband, divorces her.
Confrontation with Stewie Griffin
Brian is the only Family Guy who understands Stewie. In this regard, his attitude towards the tough child is different from the frivolous neglect of adults. In addition, Brian predicted a "blue" future for Stewie ("You will trade the power over the whole world for love with the blue guy Jim"). Their clashes sometimes take on an open character ("Lethal Weapons" series), sometimes they are limited to mutual jokes or denunciations of each other to adults. There are, however, situations in which Brian and Stewie join forces (series "Road to Rhode Island", "Road to Europe").

Stewie Griffin is a character in The Family Guy, a phenomenally gifted one-year-old son of Lois and Peter Family Guy.
Origin
Born in Quahog. According to his own recollections (series "Chitty Chitty Death Bang") "almost went mad in the womb." Stewie was born with a map of Europe, where the bomb locations were marked. That is, already at the stage of birth, Stewie was obsessed with the idea of ​​world domination. Stewie was born with a normal head. Once Brian was left to watch Stewie, but he did not follow. Stewie, jumping on the bed, hit the ceiling, causing his skull to flatten somewhat.
Character and habits
He speaks in the original sound with a strong English accent. We are obsessed with two manic ideas - the murder of the mother (Lois) and the conquest of the world. Stewie's evil personality is the result of Lois smoking marijuana during pregnancy. Stewie is a great constructor. He always has a technical novelty of his own invention at hand, whether it be hypnotizing glasses or an aircraft. He loves weapons very much. Has skills in music (plays the banjo, piano, sings, dances). Has a rather subtle sense of humor (mostly black). Stu also doesn't like broccoli.
Mother Murder Idea
The murder of Lois comes first for Stewie. This is probably a kind of caricature of the authors of the series on the Oedipus complex. Since in a number of episodes Brian alludes to Stewie's homosexual inclinations, the target of the murder is not the father, but the mother. Stewie's attempts to assassinate Lois end in failure. The only time he manages to throw a bookcase on it turns out that no one can die since Death lies with a broken leg.
The idea of ​​world domination
Stewie's everlasting desire to conquer the world. At the same time, the methods of further control of the Earth assumed by him look like the most brutal totalitarianism.
Relationships with other characters
Of all the characters, only Brian, the family guy's talking dog, takes Stewie seriously. The rest are not inclined to see malicious intent in his pranks, do not notice its development. Stewie himself demonstrates complete disdain, even contempt for others: he calls his father "fat", "stupid", "damn pervert", his mother - "witch", "otter", "dirty creature", "stinking toad", "dishwasher", sister Mag - "pig", brother Chris - "fat brother", Brian - "drunkard", neighbor Quagmier - "chump for whipping." At the same time, the attitude of adults towards Stewie remains kind and caring, they simply ignore his remarks (with the exception of Brian). The character that arouses Stewie's unconditional admiration is Death.
Sexual orientation
Contrary to Brian's constant assertions that Stewie is a latent homosexual (as evidenced by some episodes, such as the episode "Screwed The Pooch", where he attends a gay party), "Orgies" with girls, "Dammit Janet" series - falling in love with a girl from kindergarten, etc.) Thus, it can be assumed that Stewie is bisexual. It also turns out in the future that Stewie is still a virgin when he is 35, although this future will not necessarily happen.

She became an alcoholic, a drug model, took part in fights, and moreover, even before her marriage to Peter, she once slept with all (!) Members of the rock group "Kiss". Many people justifiably consider her a hypocrite.

Stewie

A precocious one-year-old (he is the only one of the characters who never grows up over the course of the series) child, preoccupied with mania for world domination, which reminds of Brain from the animated series "Pinky and Brain". His dreams of taking over the world are thwarted by the fact that no one takes him seriously (except Brian). Has a strong British (Eton) accent in the original voice acting.

Educated, eloquent and rational; atheist. Likes to drink, smokes. Has a good voice. Novelist (or at least writing a novel). Perhaps the most adequate member of the family. In love with Lois throughout the series, and even once he was able to marry her. The only family member who understands Stewie, the youngest child of the Family Guy. Has a cousin, Jasper, a gay dog ​​living in California. Son of the late dog Tortinka. Born in Austin, Texas.

In recent seasons, he drives a silver Toyota Prius-2.

Dies under the wheels of a car in "Life of Brian", but thanks to Stewie's efforts, who saved him from the car by returning to the past, reappears in the episode "Christmas Guy".

Chris

Thirteen year old (fourteen year old by the fourth season, birthday on February 8), unwanted, son of Peter and Lois. You might think that Chris, who is taller and taller than Meg, is older than her, but this is not so. Chris's middle name is Cross (eng. Cris cross- "criss-cross").

Chris is not very smart, and dumb like his father. He is the only child whose paternity has never been questioned (although he was conceived due to a torn condom, thanks to which his parents won a lawsuit against the manufacturer and bought the house where the family Griffin lives - which is why Lois calls him “his beloved error "). An angry monkey is hiding in Chris's room ( Evil Monkey), which he is very afraid of, but in which no one but him believes. In the end, Chris showed Lois and Peter the monkey after which she moved into Tom Tucker's house.

He has a girlfriend Tam (Jerome's daughter) and a half-brother Dillan (Brian's son).

Meg

Eighteen-year-old also unwanted daughter of Peter and Lois. It is possible that at birth it had a small tail. She studies at the secondary school named after V.I. James Woods ( James Woods Regional High School). In episode 13 of season 3, Brian says that Meg's real father is Stan Thompson.

Meg is constantly worried about her peer relationships at school. In addition, her not very attractive appearance (including the presence of a mustache) is always the subject of jokes. She was in love with many, including Brian, news anchor Tom Tucker and the mayor of Quahog, Adam West, but the relationship ended in failure. Throughout the series, she herself is loved only by the pimply bespectacled Neil Goldman, who is completely uninteresting to her.

Excerpt Characterizing the List of Characters of the TV Series "Family Guy"

"Sire, Mon Cousin, Prince d" Ekmuhl, roi de Naples "[Your Majesty, my brother, Prince of Ekmühl, King of Naples.] Etc. But orders and reports were only on paper, nothing was executed on them, therefore which could not be fulfilled, and despite calling each other majesties, highnesses and cousins, they all felt that they were pathetic and disgusting people who did a lot of evil, for which they now had to pay. as if they were taking care of the army, they only thought about themselves and how to get away and be saved as soon as possible.

The actions of the Russian and French troops during the return campaign from Moscow to the Niemen are like playing blind man's buff, when two players are blindfolded and one occasionally rings a bell to notify the catching one. At first, the one who is being caught calls without fear of the enemy, but when he has a bad time, trying to walk silently, he runs away from his enemy and often, thinking to run away, goes straight into his hands.
At first, Napoleon's troops still made themselves felt - this was in the first period of movement along the Kaluga road, but then, having got out on the Smolensk road, they ran, pressing the bell tongue with their hand, and often, thinking that they were leaving, ran directly at the Russians.
With the speed of the French and the Russians behind them, and as a result of the exhaustion of the horses, the main means of roughly recognizing the position in which the enemy is located - the patrols of the cavalry - did not exist. In addition, due to the frequent and rapid changes in the positions of both armies, information, which was, could not keep up in time. If on the second day the news came that the enemy's army was there on the first, then on the third, when something could be done, this army had already made two transitions and was in a completely different position.
One army fled, the other caught up. From Smolensk the French had many different roads; and, it would seem, here, after standing for four days, the French could find out where the enemy is, figure out something advantageous and undertake something new. But after a four-day stop, the crowds again ran not to the right, not to the left, but, without any maneuvers and considerations, along the old, worse road, to Krasnoe and Orsha - along the broken track.
Expecting the enemy from behind, not in front, the French fled, stretched out and separated from each other by twenty-four hours of distance. The emperor ran ahead of all, then the kings, then the dukes. The Russian army, thinking that Napoleon would take the Dnieper to the right, which was only reasonable, also turned to the right and went out onto the high road to Krasnoye. And then, as in playing blind man's buff, the French stumbled upon our vanguard. Suddenly seeing the enemy, the French were confused, paused from the surprise of fright, but then they ran again, throwing their comrades behind them. Here, as if through the formation of Russian troops, three days passed, one after one, separate units of the French, first the Viceroy, then Davout, then Ney. They all abandoned each other, threw all their burdens, artillery, half of the people and ran away, only at night on the right bypassing the Russians in semicircles.
Ney, who walked last (because, despite their unhappy position, or precisely because of it, they wanted to beat the floor that bruised them, he set about tearing up the walls of Smolensk that did not interfere with anyone), Ney, who walked last, with his ten thousandth corps, came running to Orsha to Napoleon with only a thousand people, abandoning all the people and all the guns and stealthily at night, making their way through the forest across the Dnieper.
From Orsha they ran further along the road to Vilna, in the same way playing blind man's buff with the pursuing army. On the Berezina they got mixed up again, many drowned, many surrendered, but those who got across the river ran on. Their chief commander put on a fur coat and, sitting in the sleigh, galloped off alone, leaving his comrades behind. Who could - left too, who could not - surrendered or died.

It would seem that in this then the campaign of the flight of the French, when they did everything that was possible to destroy themselves; when there was not the slightest sense in a single movement of this crowd, from the turn to the Kaluga road to the flight of the commander from the army, it would seem that during this period of the campaign it is already impossible for historians who ascribe the actions of the masses to the will of one person to describe this retreat in their sense. But no. Mountains of books have been written by historians about this campaign, and Napoleon's orders and his thoughtful plans - the maneuvers that led the army and the brilliant orders of his marshals - are described everywhere.
The retreat from Maloyaroslavets when he is given the way to a bountiful land and when that parallel road is open to him, along which Kutuzov later pursued him, an unnecessary retreat along the ruined road is explained to us for various profound reasons. For the same profound considerations, his retreat from Smolensk to Orsha is described. Then his heroism at Krasnoye is described, where he seems to be preparing to accept the battle and command himself, and walks with a birch stick and says:
- J "ai assez fait l" Empereur, il est temps de faire le general, [I have already represented the emperor, now is the time to be a general.] - and, despite the fact, immediately after that he runs on, leaving the scattered parts of the army behind.
Then they describe to us the greatness of the soul of the marshals, especially Ney, the greatness of the soul, which consists in the fact that at night he made his way through the forest through the Dnieper and without banners and artillery and without nine-tenths of the army ran to Orsha.
And, finally, the last departure of the great emperor from the heroic army is presented to us by historians as something great and brilliant. Even this last act of flight, in human language called the last degree of meanness, which every child learns to be ashamed of, and this act in the language of historians is justified.
When it is no longer possible to stretch further such elastic threads of historical reasoning, when action is already clearly contrary to what all of humanity calls good and even justice, historians have a salutary concept of greatness. Greatness seems to exclude the possibility of measuring good and bad. For the great, there is no evil. There is no horror that could be blamed on the great.
- "C" est grand! " [This is majestic!] - historians say, and then there is no good or bad, but there is “grand” and “not grand.” Grand is good, not grand is bad. Grand is a property, according to their concepts, some special animals they call heroes. ”And Napoleon, getting home in a warm fur coat from not only dying comrades, but (in his opinion) people brought here by him, feels que c" est grand, and his soul is at peace.
"Du sublime (he sees something sublime in himself) au ridicule il n" y a qu "un pas," he says. And the whole world has been repeating for fifty years: “Sublime! Grand! Napoleon le grand! Du sublime au ridicule il n "y a qu" un pas ". [majestic ... Only one step from majestic to ridiculous ... Majestic! Great! Napoleon the great! It's only a step from the majestic to the ridiculous.]
And it will never occur to anyone that the recognition of greatness, immeasurable by the measure of good and bad, is only the recognition of one's own insignificance and immeasurable smallness.
For us, with the measure of good and bad given to us by Christ, there is no immeasurable one. And there is no greatness where there is no simplicity, goodness and truth.

Who among the Russian people, reading the descriptions of the last period of the 1812 campaign, did not experience a heavy feeling of annoyance, dissatisfaction and ambiguity. Who did not ask themselves questions: how did they not take away, not destroy all the French, when all three armies surrounded them in superior numbers, when the frustrated French, starving and freezing, surrendered in droves and when (as history tells us) the goal of the Russians was precisely to stop, cut off and capture all the French.
How could that Russian army, which, weaker in the number of the French, gave the Battle of Borodino, how did this army, which surrounded the French from three sides and had the goal of taking them away, did not achieve its goal? Is it possible that the French have such a huge advantage over us that we, having surrounded them with superior forces, could not beat them? How could this have happened?
History (the one that is called by this word), answering these questions, says that this happened because Kutuzov, and Tormasov, and Chichagov, and he did not make such and such maneuvers.
But why didn't they do all these maneuvers? Why, if they were to blame for the failure to achieve the intended goal, why were they not tried and executed? But, even if we admit that Kutuzov and Chichagov, etc., were to blame for the failure of the Russians, it is still impossible to understand why and in the conditions in which the Russian troops were located near Krasnoe and Berezina (in both cases the Russians were in excellent forces), why was not the French army taken prisoner with marshals, kings and emperors, when this was the goal of the Russians?
The explanation of this strange phenomenon by the fact (as is done by Russian military historians) that Kutuzov prevented the attack is groundless because we know that Kutuzov's will could not keep the troops from attacking at Vyazma and at Tarutin.
Why was that Russian army, which with the weakest forces won a victory at Borodino over the enemy in all his strength, at Krasnoye and near Berezina, in excellent forces, was defeated by the upset crowds of the French?
If the goal of the Russians was to cut off and take prisoner Napoleon and the marshals, and this goal was not only not achieved, and all attempts to achieve this goal were destroyed every time in the most shameful way, then the last period of the campaign is quite rightly represented by the French alongside victories and is completely unfairly presented by Russian historians as victorious.
Russian military historians, insofar as logic is obligatory for them, involuntarily come to this conclusion and, despite lyrical appeals about courage and loyalty, etc., must involuntarily admit that the French retreat from Moscow is a series of Napoleon's victories and Kutuzov's defeats.
But, leaving completely aside the people's pride, one feels that this conclusion in itself contains contradictions, since a series of French victories led them to complete destruction, and a series of Russian defeats led them to the complete destruction of the enemy and the purification of their fatherland.
The source of this contradiction lies in the fact that historians who study events from the letters of sovereigns and generals, according to reports, reports, plans, etc., have assumed a false, never existed goal of the last period of the war of 1812 - a goal that supposedly consisted of to cut off and catch Napoleon with the marshals and the army.
This goal never was and could not be, because it did not make sense, and its achievement was completely impossible.
This goal did not make any sense, firstly, because the disorganized army of Napoleon fled from Russia as quickly as possible, that is, it was doing what any Russian could want. Why was it necessary to carry out various operations on the French, who fled as fast as they could?
Secondly, it was pointless to stand on the road of people who directed all their energy to escape.
Thirdly, it was pointless to lose their troops to destroy the French armies, which were destroyed without external reasons in such a progression that, without any obstruction of the path, they could not transfer more than what they transferred in December, that is, one hundredth of the entire army, across the border.
Fourthly, it was senseless to desire to take prisoner the emperor, kings, dukes - people whose captivity would greatly impede the actions of the Russians, as recognized by the most skillful diplomats of that time (J. Maistre and others). Even more senseless was the desire to take the French corps, when their troops melted half to the Red, and the convoy divisions had to be separated to the prisoners' corps, and when their soldiers did not always receive full provisions and the captured prisoners died of hunger.
The whole thoughtful plan to cut off and catch Napoleon and the army was similar to the plan of a gardener who, driving the cattle that had trampled his ridges out of the garden, would run to the gate and begin to beat this cattle on the head. One thing that could be said to justify the gardener would be that he was very angry. But this could not even be said about the authors of the project, because they were not the ones who suffered from the trampled ridges.
But, besides the fact that cutting off Napoleon with the army was pointless, it was impossible.
This was impossible, firstly, because since experience shows that the movement of the columns at five versts in one battle never coincides with the plans, the likelihood that Chichagov, Kutuzov and Wittgenstein would come together in time at the appointed place was so negligible that it was equal to impossibility, as Kutuzov thought, even when he received the plan, he said that sabotage over long distances did not bring the desired results.
Secondly, it was impossible because, in order to paralyze the force of inertia with which Napoleon's army moved back, it was necessary, without comparison, larger troops than those that the Russians had.
Thirdly, it was impossible because the military word cut off does not make any sense. You can cut off a piece of bread, but not an army. Cutting off the army - blocking its path - is in no way possible, because there is always a lot of places around where you can get around, and there is a night during which nothing is visible, which military scientists could be convinced of even from the examples of Krasnoy and Berezina. It is impossible to take prisoner without the fact that the one who is being taken prisoner does not agree to this, just as it is impossible to catch a swallow, although you can take it when it sits on your hand. You can take prisoner someone who surrenders, like the Germans, according to the rules of strategy and tactics. But the French troops quite rightly did not find this convenient, since the same hunger and cold death awaited them in flight and in captivity.
Fourthly, and most importantly, this was impossible because never, since the world existed, there was no war under the terrible conditions under which it took place in 1812, and the Russian troops in pursuit of the French strained all their forces and did not could do more without being destroyed themselves.
In the movement of the Russian army from Tarutin to Krasny, fifty thousand left sick and backward, that is, a number equal to the population of a large provincial city. Half of the people dropped out of the army without a fight.
And about this period of the campaign, when the troops without boots and fur coats, with incomplete provisions, without vodka, spend the night in the snow and at fifteen degrees of frost for months; when the day is only seven and eight o'clock, and the rest is night, during which there can be no influence of discipline; when, not like in a battle, for a few hours only people are led into the area of ​​death, where there is no longer discipline, and when people live for months, every minute fighting death from hunger and cold; when half of the army perishes in a month - historians tell us about this period of the campaign, how Miloradovich had to make a flank march there, and Tormasov there, and how Chichagov had to move there that (move above the knee in the snow), and how that knocked over and cut off, etc., etc.
The Russians, who were half dying, did everything that could and should have been done to achieve a goal worthy of the people, and it is not their fault that other Russian people, sitting in warm rooms, assumed to do what was impossible.
All this strange, now incomprehensible contradiction of the fact with the description of history occurs only because the historians who wrote about this event wrote the history of the wonderful feelings and words of different generals, and not the history of events.
For them, the words of Miloradovich, the awards that this and this general received, and their assumptions seem very amusing; and the question of those fifty thousand who remained in hospitals and graves does not even interest them, because it is not subject to their study.
Meanwhile, one has only to turn away from studying the reports and general plans, but to delve into the movement of those hundreds of thousands of people who took a direct, direct part in the event, and all the questions that seemed insoluble before, suddenly, with extraordinary ease and simplicity, receive an undoubted solution.
The purpose of cutting off Napoleon with the army never existed, except in the imagination of a dozen people. It could not exist because it was meaningless and it was impossible to achieve it.
The goal of the people was one: to cleanse their land from the invasion. This goal was achieved, firstly, by itself, since the French fled, and therefore it was only necessary not to stop this movement. Secondly, this goal was achieved by the actions of the people's war, which destroyed the French, and, thirdly, by the fact that a large Russian army followed the French, ready to use force if the French movement stopped.
The Russian army was supposed to act like a whip on a running animal. And an experienced driver knew that the most advantageous thing was to keep the whip raised, threatening them, and not to lash a running animal on the head.

When a person sees a dying animal, horror seizes him: what he himself is - his essence, in his eyes is obviously destroyed - ceases to be. But when a dying person is a person, and a beloved person is felt, then, in addition to the horror of the destruction of life, a rupture and a spiritual wound is felt, which, like a physical wound, sometimes kills, sometimes heals, but always hurts and is afraid of an external irritating touch.
After the death of Prince Andrei, Natasha and Princess Marya felt this equally. They, morally bent over and closing their eyes from the formidable cloud of death hanging over them, did not dare to look into the face of life. They carefully protected their open wounds from offensive, painful touch. Everything: a carriage quickly drove along the street, a reminder of lunch, a girl's question about a dress that needs to be prepared; even worse, the word of insincere, weak sympathy painfully irritated the wound, seemed an insult and broke that necessary silence in which they both tried to listen to the terrible, strict chorus that had not yet been heard in their imagination, and prevented them from peering into those mysterious endless distances that for a moment opened In front of them.
Only the two of them were not offended or hurt. They spoke little to each other. If they talked about the most insignificant subjects. Both the one and the other equally avoided mentioning anything related to the future.
To admit the possibility of the future seemed to them an insult to his memory. Even more carefully they avoided in their conversations everything that could be related to the deceased. It seemed to them that what they experienced and felt could not be expressed in words. It seemed to them that any mention of the details of his life in words violated the greatness and sanctity of the sacrament that had taken place in their eyes.
The incessant abstinence of speech, the constant diligent circumvention of everything that could suggest a word about him: these stops from different sides on the border of what could not be said, even clearer and clearer exposed before their imaginations what they felt.

But pure, complete sorrow is as impossible as pure and complete joy. Princess Marya, by her position as one independent mistress of her fate, guardian and educator of her nephew, was the first to be called by life from that world of sorrow in which she lived for the first two weeks. She received letters from relatives to which she had to answer; the room in which they put Nikolenka was cheese, and he began to cough. Alpatych came to Yaroslavl with business reports and with suggestions and advice to move to Moscow to the Vzdvizhensky house, which remained intact and required only minor repairs. Life did not stop, and it was necessary to live. No matter how hard it was for Princess Marya to leave that world of solitary contemplation in which she had lived until now, no matter how sorry and as if she was ashamed to leave Natasha alone, the worries of life demanded her participation, and she involuntarily gave herself up to them. She checked the scores with Alpatych, consulted with Desal about her nephew and made orders and preparations for her move to Moscow.
Natasha was left alone, and ever since Princess Marya began to make preparations for her departure, she avoided her too.
Princess Marya suggested that the countess let Natasha go with her to Moscow, and mother and father happily agreed to this proposal, every day noticing her daughter's decline in physical strength and considering it useful for her to change her place and the help of Moscow doctors.
“I’m not going anywhere,” Natasha answered when they made this offer to her, “but please leave me alone,” she said and ran out of the room, with difficulty holding back tears not so much grief as annoyance and anger.
After she felt abandoned by Princess Marya and lonely in her grief, Natasha most of the time, alone in her room, sat with her legs in the corner of the sofa, and, tearing or shifting something with her thin, tense fingers, looked with a stubborn, motionless gaze where the eyes were drawn. This solitude was exhausting, tormenting her; but it was necessary for her. As soon as someone entered her, she quickly got up, changed her position and expression of her gaze and took up a book or sewing, obviously looking forward to the departure of the one who interfered with her.
It all seemed to her that she would now understand, penetrate what her spiritual gaze was directed with a terrible, unbearable question for her.
At the end of December, in a black woolen dress, with a loosely tied bun in a braid, thin and pale, Natasha sat with her legs in the corner of the sofa, tensely crumpling and loosening the ends of her belt, and looked at the corner of the door.
She looked where he had gone, on the other side of life. And that side of life that she had never thought about before, which had seemed so far away, incredible to her, was now closer and dearer to her, more understandable than this side of life, in which everything was either emptiness and destruction, or suffering and insult.
She looked to where she knew he was; but she could not see him otherwise than as he was here. She saw him again the same as he was in Mytishchi, at Trinity, in Yaroslavl.
She saw his face, heard his voice and repeated his words and her words spoken to him, and sometimes she invented new words for herself and for him, which could then be said.
Here he is lying on an armchair in his velvet coat, his head resting on his thin, pale hand. His chest is terribly low and his shoulders are raised. The lips are firmly compressed, the eyes shine, and a wrinkle jumps and disappears on the pale forehead. One of his legs trembles very quickly. Natasha knows that he is struggling with excruciating pain. “What is this pain? Why is pain? How does he feel? How it hurts! " - thinks Natasha. He noticed her attention, raised his eyes and, without smiling, began to speak.
“One thing is terrible,” he said, “is to associate yourself forever with a suffering person. This is eternal torment. " And with a searching glance - Natasha saw this look now - he looked at her. Natasha, as always, answered then before she had time to think about what she was answering; she said: "It cannot go on like this, it will not happen, you will be healthy - absolutely."
She now first saw him and now experienced everything that she felt then. She remembered his long, sad, stern gaze at these words and understood the meaning of the reproach and despair of this long gaze.
“I agreed,” Natasha said to herself now, “that it would be awful if he remained always suffering. I said it that way then only because it would be terrible for him, but he understood it differently. He thought it would be terrible for me. Then he still wanted to live - he was afraid of death. And I told him so rudely, stupidly. I didn't think that. I thought quite differently. If I said what I thought, I would say: even if he were dying, he would be dying before my eyes all the time, I would be happy in comparison with what I am now. Now ... Nothing, no one. Did he know this? No. Didn't know and never will. And now you can never, never fix it. " And again he spoke to her the same words, but now in her imagination Natasha answered him differently. She stopped him and said: “Terrible for you, but not for me. You know that without you there is nothing in my life, and suffering with you is the best happiness for me. " And he took her hand and shook it the way he shook it on that terrible evening, four days before his death. And in her imagination she spoke to him still other tender, loving speeches that she could have said then, which she spoke now. "I love you ... I love you, I love you ..." she said, clenching her hands convulsively, clenching her teeth with a fierce effort.
And sweet sorrow overtook her, and tears already appeared in her eyes, but suddenly she asked herself: to whom is she saying this? Where is he and who is he now? And again everything was covered with dry, harsh bewilderment, and again, tensely knitting her eyebrows, she peered at where he was. And so, now, it seemed to her that she was penetrating the secret ... But at that moment, as it seemed to her that the incomprehensible was revealed to her, the loud knock of the door lock knob painfully struck her hearing. Quickly and carelessly, with a frightened, unoccupied expression on her face, the maid Dunyasha entered the room.
“Come to papa, rather,” said Dunyasha with a special and lively expression. “Misfortune, about Pyotr Ilyich… a letter,” she said with a sob.

In addition to the general feeling of alienation from all people, Natasha at this time experienced a special feeling of alienation from the faces of her family. All her own: father, mother, Sonya, were so close to her, accustomed, so everyday that all their words, feelings seemed to her an insult to the world in which she had lived recently, and she was not only indifferent, but looked at them with hostility. ... She heard Dunyasha's words about Pyotr Ilyich, about misfortune, but did not understand them.
“What kind of misfortune is there, what kind of misfortune can there be? They all have their old, familiar and deceased, ”Natasha said to herself in her mind.
When she entered the hall, her father quickly left the countess's room. His face was wrinkled and wet with tears. He apparently ran out of that room to give vent to the sobs that were crushing him. Seeing Natasha, he frantically waved his hands and burst into painfully convulsive sobs that distorted his round, soft face.
- Pe ... Petya ... Go, go, she ... she ... calling ... - And he, sobbing like a child, quickly seeding with weak legs, went up to the chair and fell almost on him, covering his face with his hands.
Suddenly, like an electric current ran through Natasha's entire being. Something struck her terribly in the heart. She felt terrible pain; it seemed to her that something was coming off in her and that she was dying. But following the pain, she felt an instant release from the prohibition of life that lay on her. Seeing her father and hearing the terrible, rude cry of her mother from behind the door, she instantly forgot herself and her grief. She ran to her father, but he, waving his hand helplessly, pointed to the mother's door. Princess Marya, pale, with a trembling lower jaw, came out of the door and took Natasha by the hand, telling her something. Natasha did not see, did not hear her. She walked through the door with quick steps, stopped for a moment, as if in a struggle with herself, and ran to her mother.
The Countess was lying on an armchair, stretching strangely awkwardly, and banging her head against the wall. Sonya and the girls held her hands.
- Natasha, Natasha! .. - shouted the countess. - Not true, not true ... He is lying ... Natasha! She shouted, pushing those around her away. - Go away, everyone, it’s not true! They killed! .. ha ha ha ha! .. not true!
Natasha knelt on a chair, bent over her mother, hugged her, lifted her with unexpected force, turned her face to her and pressed herself against her.
- Mom! .. dear! .. I'm here, my friend. Mamma, - she whispered to her, without stopping for a second.
She would not let her mother out, fought tenderly with her, demanded pillows, water, unbuttoned and tore her mother's dress.
“My friend, darling ... mamma, darling,” she whispered incessantly, kissing her head, hands, face and feeling how her tears flowed uncontrollably in streams, tickling her nose and cheeks.
The Countess squeezed her daughter's hand, closed her eyes and was quiet for a moment. Suddenly she got up with unusual speed, looked around senselessly and, seeing Natasha, began to squeeze her head with all her might. Then she turned her face, wrinkled with pain, towards her and gazed into it for a long time.
“Natasha, you love me,” she said in a quiet, trusting whisper. - Natasha, won't you deceive me? Will you tell me the whole truth?
Natasha looked at her with eyes filled with tears, and in her face there was only a plea for forgiveness and love.
“My friend, mamma,” she repeated, straining all the strength of her love to somehow remove from her the excess of grief that pressed her.
And again, in a powerless struggle with reality, the mother, refusing to believe that she could live when her beloved boy, blossoming with life, was killed, escaped from reality in a world of madness.
Natasha did not remember how that day, night, next day, next night went. She did not sleep and did not leave her mother. Natasha's love, persistent, patient, not as an explanation, not as a consolation, but as a call to life, every second seemed to embrace the countess from all sides. On the third night, the Countess was quiet for a few minutes, and Natasha closed her eyes, leaning her head on the arm of the chair. The bed creaked. Natasha opened her eyes. The Countess sat on the bed and spoke softly.
- How glad I am that you came. Are you tired, would you like some tea? - Natasha went up to her. “You have grown prettier and matured,” the countess continued, taking her daughter by the hand.
- Mamma, what are you talking about! ..
- Natasha, he's gone, no more! - And, embracing her daughter, for the first time the Countess began to cry.

Princess Marya postponed her departure. Sonya, Count tried to replace Natasha, but could not. They saw that she alone could keep her mother from mad despair. For three weeks Natasha lived hopelessly with her mother, slept on an armchair in her room, gave her drink, fed her and spoke to her without ceasing, - she said, because one gentle, caressing voice calmed the Countess.
The mother's mental wound could not heal. Petya's death tore off half of her life. A month after the news of Petya's death, who found her a fresh and cheerful fifty-year-old woman, she left her room half-dead and not taking part in life - an old woman. But the same wound that half killed the Countess, this new wound brought Natasha to life.
A mental wound resulting from the rupture of the spiritual body, just like a physical wound, oddly enough it seems, after a deep wound has healed and seems to come together at its edges, a mental wound, like a physical wound, heals only from the inside by the bulging force of life.
Natasha's wound healed in the same way. She thought her life was over. But suddenly love for her mother showed her that the essence of her life - love - was still alive in her. Love woke up and life woke up.
During the last days of Prince Andrew, Natasha was tied to Princess Marya. The new misfortune brought them closer together. Princess Marya postponed her departure and for the last three weeks, like a sick child, took care of Natasha. The last weeks Natasha spent in her mother's room overwhelmed her physical strength.
Once Princess Marya, in the middle of the day, noticing that Natasha was trembling in a feverish chill, took her to her place and put her in her bed. Natasha went to bed, but when Princess Marya, lowering her sides, wanted to go out, Natasha called her over to her.
- I don't want to sleep. Marie, sit with me.
- You are tired - try to sleep.
- No no. Why did you take me away? She will ask.
“She’s much better. She spoke so well today, ”said Princess Marya.
Natasha lay in bed and in the semi-darkness of the room examined the face of Princess Marya.
“Does she look like him? Thought Natasha. - Yes, it is similar and not similar. But she is special, alien, completely new, unknown. And she loves me. What's on her mind? Everything is good. But how? What does she think? How does she look at me? Yes, she's beautiful. "
“Masha,” she said, timidly drawing her hand to her. - Masha, do not think that I am bad. No? Masha, my dear. I love you so much. Let's be completely, completely friends.

He spends most of his free time with friends at the Drunken Oyster bar ( Drunken Clam).

Lois

40-year-old housewife. Peter's wife, an incredibly beautiful and slender woman for her age. Originally from the very wealthy Pewterschmidt family, the first colonists of Rhode Island. By religion - a Protestant (later a Jew). Gives home piano lessons, brings up three children. Severely ticklish. She loves her husband very much and forgives him all his antics. Lois has a sister, Carol, with constant setbacks in her personal life, and a mentally ill brother, Patrick, who has an imaginary wife.

Lois, despite her very level-headed personality, made many mistakes in her life, which she diligently does not remember. She starred in a porn film, was arrested for kleptomania, became an alcoholic, a drug model, participated in fights, and moreover, even before her marriage to Peter, she once slept with all the members of the rock group "Kiss". Many people justifiably consider her a hypocrite.

Stewie

A precocious one-year-old (he is the only one of the characters who never grows up over the course of the series) child, preoccupied with mania for world domination, which reminds of Brain from the animated series "Pinky and Brain". His dreams of taking over the world are thwarted by the fact that no one takes him seriously (except Brian). Has a strong British (Eton) accent in the original voice acting.

Educated, eloquent and rational; atheist. Likes to drink, smokes. Has a good voice. Novelist (or at least writing a novel). Perhaps the most adequate member of the family. In love with Lois throughout the series, and even once he was able to marry her. The only family member who understands Stewie, the youngest child of the Family Guy. Has a cousin, Jasper, a gay dog ​​living in California. Son of the late dog Tortinka. Born in Austin, Texas.

In recent seasons, he drives a silver Toyota Prius-2.

Dies under the wheels of a car in the episode "Life of Brian", but thanks to the efforts of Stewie, who saved him from the car, returning to the past, reappears in the episode "Christmas Guy".

Chris

Thirteen year old (fourteen year old by the fourth season, birthday on February 8), unwanted, son of Peter and Lois. You might think that Chris, who is taller and taller than Meg, is older than her, but this is not so. Chris's second name is Cross (English Cris Cross - "criss-cross").

Chris is not very smart, and dumb like his father. He is the only child whose paternity has never been questioned (although he was conceived due to a torn condom, thanks to which his parents won a lawsuit against the manufacturer and bought the house where the family Griffin lives - which is why Lois calls him “his beloved error "). An angry monkey is hiding in Chris's room ( Evil Monkey), which he is very afraid of, but in which no one but him believes. In the end, Chris showed Lois and Peter the monkey after which she moved into Tom Tucker's house.

He has a girlfriend Tam (Jerome's daughter) and a half-brother Dillan (Brian's son).

Meg

Eighteen-year-old also unwanted daughter of Peter and Lois. It is possible that at birth it had a small tail. She studies at the secondary school named after V.I. James Woods ( James Woods Regional High School). In episode 13 of season 3, Brian says that Meg's real father is Stan Thompson.

Meg is constantly worried about her peer relationships at school. In addition, her not very attractive appearance (including the presence of a mustache) is always the subject of jokes. She was in love with many, including Brian, news anchor Tom Tucker and the mayor of Quahog, Adam West, but the relationship ended in failure. Throughout the series, she herself is loved only by the pimply bespectacled Neil Goldman, who is completely uninteresting to her.

After 60 years of service, he was forced to leave his job, but refused to rest in retirement (which Peter hoped for, believing that now his father would spend more time with him), and eventually became the bodyguard of the Pope. Frances hates Lois as she is Protestant. Despite the outward dryness and severity, in the depths of his heart, Francis was always worried about Peter.

Unlike his brother, he is very cheerful and curious, sincerely interested in the world around him.

However, some time later, after being born, Bertram tried to take over Stewie's playground, since both have the same dreams and aspirations.
