V. Titov, "To all deaths to spite": a summary

Few people get through so much suffering and torment as the hero of the story "All the deaths are out of spite." The summary can be summarized in a few words: a person became disabled, but did not give up and rebuilt the destiny.

Vladislav Andreevich Titov

This is the author of the story "All deaths are lucky." The summary is written off from his own life. This man was born in the first half of the last century in a small village in the Lipetsk region. His whole family was engaged in peasant labor. Vladislav also wanted, like many young people at that time, to become a pilot, but for health reasons he was not fit for this profession. At the crossroads of fate, he caught the eye of an announcement about recruitment to a mining technical school.

At that time, the profession of the miner was sufficiently monetary and respected. Vladislav began to assiduously master it. For the profession he went to Voroshilovgrad - now Lugansk, there was an excellent mountain technical school. The young man graduated with success.

For the sake of justice, it must be said that the scholarship of a mountain technical college student was 340 rubles - an absolutely fantastic sum for those times.

Russian spirit

Tests initially of a strong character are described in the story "To All Deaths to spite." The summary contains a reference to the fact that training in the mining technical school included a trial descent into the mine. It was there, in total darkness under the earth, each decided for himself whether he could walk the path of the miner. Teachers did not hide from students that the risk to life is part of the profession, and that no one will reproach the one who will leave before the end of the course.

Vladislav did not leave. Moreover, the miners at that time worked half-asleep, and instead of a jackhammer, the coal was shredded with a shovel. Stand up in full growth did not allow the size of the shaft. To this one needs to add darkness, scattered only by the light of the shaft lamps, and forced ventilation. Work in such conditions from day to day could only physically hardy and strong spirit people.

Fatal third shift

The story of the whole region is tied with the story "To all death to spite." The summary indicates that the tragedy of one person happened on the third shift, at the dead of night. Vladislav Titov had just descended to the ground and was in the stead of a comrade in the face.

I heard a noise and saw what was happening at the same time. A trolley with coal came off the rails and broke through an electric cable. The cable caught fire from a short circuit . Fire runs on the cable, and then - a powerful transformer. The explosion is inevitable.

And in the mine - two shifts, for all the family, you all know ... Vladislav decided to turn off the transformer. Journalists in these cases write "at any cost".

The cost of saving lives

The usual cases in these parts are described by Vladislav Titov. "All deaths are lucky" (a summary) is devoted to the unofficial price of coal - for each tonne there are somebody's blown lives. It is in all countries. Every miner knows that warmth and comfort on earth are paid for by underground deaths. They know and still go down to the ground - otherwise everything will stop.

Like Vladislav, all the miners rush to the rescue of other people - this is a constituent part of the profession. Weak spirit is not there.

Vladislav turned off the transformer, but took six thousand volts. He remembered his feelings: as if the spider had drunk into all parts of the body with intolerable pain. The fact that the boot caught fire, he could not understand - everything ached.

It found sinkers. The man was conscious, asked to drink, his shoes were burning, and he looked like a big piece of black coal.

A true miracle

It's impossible to survive after an electric shock. A person who is destructive to a person is considered to have a current of more than 90 volts. At the time of the tragedy, Vladislav was only 20 years old, and he survived. How - no one knows. He was responsible for his parents and his beloved woman, whom by that time he had already met. This is an eventual outline of the story, whose author is Vladislav Titov ("To all death tolls"). The summary does not mention the physical suffering that this man had to endure. To save his life he had to part with both hands - and not immediately, not in one day. Doctors tried to save their hands, but it ended in amputation.

The person realized that he became a deep invalid, sometimes even asked his beloved woman to leave him, but the girlfriend turned out to be a match for him - she became a wife.

Outside the hospital

At the time of discharge it seemed that all the worst was over. So thought Vladislav Titov. "To all deaths spite" (short summary) shows that the total lack of demand and uselessness was much harder than physical suffering. Yes, his work colleagues remembered his feat and honored him as a man, but life - such a different, stormy, full of news and events - passed by. What was it for a man to do, for which even the usual self-service became a problem? Dress, put on shoes, light a cigarette - all this can not be done without hands. Finding yourself is a feat more significant than overcoming physical pain.

Ability to write

The tale "To all death to spite" (a brief summary we give) tells about the strength of the spirit of the common man. The writer's wife noticed the moment when he realized his new possibilities. Titov turned the pages of books with his lips, and then began to do it with a pencil. From the pencil there was a trace on the paper. So the person realized that he can write. But it is well said: to write. From the first point on paper to readable phrases it was separated almost a year. He passed what every first-grader goes through: sticks and hooks, attempts to keep letters on one line, notebooks in an oblique line. He mastered the letter with a pencil clamped in his teeth.

Today, in the period of social networks and bionic prostheses, it is difficult to imagine all this. The more valuable are such achievements of man. Alone, supported only by his wife, a man could find a new place in life.

First publication

Today, many know who Titov Vladimir is. "All deaths are lucky" - a famous work. For the first time this amazing book was published in the Lipetsk region, where Titov was born.

Reviews about the publication have exceeded all expectations. The home phone did not stop. The letters flowed. People shared their everyday situations, asked for advice, they just wanted to support and somehow help.

Vladislav decided to send his story to Moscow. The then editor of the magazine "Youth" was Boris Polevoy. It was he who decided to print the work without banknotes, and in 1967 a huge country learned the story of a heroic man.

Stronger than many healthy

After the nationwide recognition, letters from all over the country were brought in by car - there were so many of them. Many told their bitter stories, realizing that this person will understand them better than others. Wrote healthy and disabled. Wrote desperate mothers, misguided men, young people who choose fate. For a huge number of people, the book "To all death toils" was a real example of that one can not despair at all, that there is always some way out, and that people can be benefited even with such injuries.

The story describes those who helped Titov stay human. This is a surgeon who is devoted to his profession. A wife who literally put her shoulder in despair. A friend who became a person from a nearby hospital bed. Titov honestly describes all the experience, and it is the truth of life that attracts people the most.

Moral choice

Today this story is rarely remembered. Vladislav wrote several other books, but this one (Titov VA, "To all deaths to spite") remains the best moral monument.

At some point, you need to answer yourself to the question of why you should live. That is, literally - to live for material benefits or to help people? Of course, no one calls to make penance a meaning of existence. Material wealth makes life comfortable and gives freedom of choice of movement, occupation. But material abundance can not replace the feeling of need for people. To live for Titov meant to bring benefits to people.

Current events in the world and in our country confirm the existence of a moral core in many of us. Feats are happening, and fortitude is there, and "to die for one's friends" is also about us.
