Greetings.

Today we are holding an event dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the October Revolution of 1917.
Why do you think we solemnly celebrate this date? What should we learn at this event? Today we will talk about revolution. What is a revolution? Does the concept of “revolution” have a negative or positive connotation?
Let's look into this topic together, feel the spirit of that era, and feel the mood of revolutionary events. Watch and listen carefully to everything that happens on stage. At the end we will discuss and summarize.

It sounds like "Marseillaise".
Teacher 1: Poem by M.Yu. Lermontov “Prediction” (excerpt)
The year will come, Russia's black year,
When the kings crown falls;
The mob will forget their former love for them,
And the food of many will be death and blood...

1917 was an amazing year in our history, filled with turbulent political events. Russia found itself at the crossroads of historical roads, and it was necessary to choose the one that led not to a historical dead end, but “to a better tomorrow.” Everyone dreamed of changing life for the better, ending the war, prosperity at home and stability in society. They dreamed of order, but by the will of fate they became participants in grandiose historical cataclysms.
During this event, we will get to know these historical events, hear voices from the past and evaluate for ourselves the significance of what happened. You have to be not just students, but researchers of this problem. You need to find out:
- the situation in the country on the eve of October 1917;
- reasons for the revolution;
- the course of the revolution and its political results;
- The February and October revolutions through the eyes of contemporaries, writers, poets and historians. Try to understand the main problem of that period. What did people dream about, what did they strive for?

Teacher 2:

“The hurricane of time is revolution,
ship of existence
dancing on the waves
flies into the stormy darkness.
The foundations are cracking and falling,
the sails of consciousness are torn to shreds..."

So, on the one hand, unwittingly resurrecting images of the biblical flood, an apocalyptic catastrophe, and on the other hand, the picture of the creation of the world, the birth of light from darkness and firmament in the middle of the water, was written by the chronicler of these days, Alexei Nikolaevich Tolstoy in 1922. What is this - a preface, a loud epigraph to the era, a complex moral obligation? Hard to say. But the image of the revolution - a ship, an impressive picture of an unknown painful path in the stormy darkness, among the “roar of the tribe”, the abysses turned out to be not just symbolic, but also prophetic.
Today you will hear poems and songs about the revolution. Think about what the emotional mood of poetic passages is? What common motifs are heard in all works?

Teacher 1:
Before moving on to the events of 1917, let us remember what a social revolution is in general.
Social revolution is understood as a deep violent revolution in the life of society, leading to the transfer of state power from one class to another. In other words, a revolution is a change in social elites.
What was Russia like before the revolution? At the beginning of the 20th century, our country was a huge empire with an autocratic form of government, the largest army in Europe and the status of a great power. In terms of industrial growth rates and bread exports, Russia ranked first in the world. It seemed that in just a little while the empire would catch up with the developed capitalist countries and be able to solve the age-old problem of economic backwardness...
However, these hopes were not destined to come true. The economic successes of Tsarist Russia had their unsightly downside, which negated the positive results. Suffice it to say that the sale of huge volumes of grain abroad was ensured at the terrible cost of chronic malnutrition of peasants and the highest infant mortality rate in Europe, and the industrial boom was achieved through the widespread attraction of foreign capital, which in turn led to the economic enslavement of the country by the West.
The tragic consequence of Russia's economic dependence on the West was its participation in the First World War. Russia had to bear the brunt of the fighting with Germany and thereby minimize the losses of England and France. In fact, Russia was destined for the inhumane role of cannon fodder in the war, and by agreeing to which the tsarist regime imposed a death sentence on itself. For two and a half years, Russian soldiers shed their blood for other people's interests, working off the debts of the tsarist government to the European "allies", and at the beginning of 1917 the patience of the people ended. A revolution began in the country.

Teacher 2:

The epigraph for the event will be the ancient Chinese proverb “Don’t forget the past, it is the teacher of the future.” Since it is history, events and processes of past times that give the young present generation the experience of life. Cannot be created new world, bypassing the past. Knowledge of history helps to understand the present, avoid the mistakes of the past, and create a forecast for the future. Historical events provide answers to the most pressing questions of our time. From these examples people learn to live, are brought up in respect for the eternal human values: peace, goodness, justice, freedom, equality, beauty.

II.Literary and musical composition.

Presenter 1:

Doomland, icy,
Damned iron fate -
Mother Russia, oh evil Motherland,
Who made fun of you like that?

These lines from the poem “Motherland” by the poet Andrei Bely convey the acute feelings of everyone thinking people Russia for the fate of its homeland at the beginning of the 20th century.

Waltz “Amur Waves” (3 pairs) .
The presenters come out.
Presenter 1:
Glittering balls, the relaxed lifestyle of the elite Russian society were interrupted by the First World War, which turned into an unprecedented catastrophe for our country.
Presenter 2:
At the beginning of the war in 1914, the air was saturated with inspired, patriotic thoughts and a feeling of unity between the authorities and the people. The soldiers went on the attack with the words “For the Faith, the Tsar and the Fatherland!”

The song “When We Were At War” is playing.

Video with tragic music.

Reader 1:
The Petrograd sky was clouded with rain,
The train was leaving for the war.
Without end - platoon after platoon and bayonet after bayonet
Filled the car behind the car.
On this train a thousand lives bloomed
The pain of separation, the anxiety of love,
Strength, youth, hope... In the sunset distance
There were smoky clouds in the blood.

Reader 2:
And, sitting down, they sang Varyag alone,
And others are not in tune - Ermak,
And they shouted hurray and they joked,
And the hand quietly crossed itself.

Reader 3:
Suddenly a falling leaf flew up in the wind,
Swinging, the lantern began to blink,
And under the black cloud a cheerful bugler
The departure signal began to play.
And the horn cried with military glory,
Filling my heart with anxiety.

Reader 4:
Don't save me, dear,
In a fatal battle,
You keep without leaving,
My homeland.
Give her glory, give her strength -
Here is my prayer.
I'll go to my grave without a murmur
I'll lie down if it's fate.

Presenter 1:

“The wolfhound age is throwing itself on my shoulders,” the poet Osip Mandelstam said in one of his poems, and he was prophetically right.

Presenter 2:

The 20th century was marked by three revolutions in Russia: in 1905 (“Bloody Sunday”) and two in 1917, the centenary of which we celebrate today, in 2017.

Presenter 1:

The end of the 19th - beginning of the 20th century in Russia was a period of powerful crisis that gripped almost all aspects of Russian life. This is what Mikhail Prishvin wrote in his Diaries on March 30, 1917.

Reader.

Mikhail Prishvin (slide):

“The Tsar’s close associates have long since sucked up the Tsar like candy and left only a piece of paper for the people. But the whole state proceeded as if the king was somewhere. That part of the people that called for loyalty to the king did not believe in anything. There was no time, and one could recognize its speed only in the rapid change of ministers and rising prices. In the silence of timelessness, everyone had long ago begun to turn away from the concerns of state and lived with personal interest: everyone was robbed. This led to a shortage of food in the cities and the army. The lack of bread caused a riot..."

Reader.
Marina Tsvetaeva (slide):

Obscurantism. - Tornado. - Sodom.
Take care of the Nest and Home.
Duty and Loyalty unleashed,
Young man - don't sleep!
At the gates, like Good News,
Let Honor stand as a white guard.
Circle your house - boundary,
May the Stranger not enter into it.
Protect from the evil of the waves
Son and grandfathers garden hill.
Under the blows of evil fate -
Above are the great-grandfather's oaks.

It sounds like “Varshavyanka”.

Presenter 1:

The year 1917, with its two revolutions - the February and the October - determined the path along which it would develop for many decades. National history and culture. Through works of Russian literature, one can hear the voices of a bygone era, and become a participant in the debates that took place in all layers of Russian society.

Presenter 2:

It all started with the bread crisis. At the end of February 1917, due to snow drifts, the schedule for freight transportation of bread was disrupted and rumors began to circulate about an imminent transition to bread rationing. Queues formed at the bread shops, and then riots began. On February 21, a crowd with the slogan “Bread, bread!” began to destroy bakery shops.

Reader.
Sergei Yesenin (slide):

He was the son of a simple worker,
And the story about him is very short.
The only thing about him was that his hair was like night
Yes, the eyes are blue, meek.

Martin lived and no one knew about him.
The days pounded sadly, like rain on iron.
And only sometimes over a meager lunch
His father taught him to sing the Marseillaise.

“When you grow up,” he said, “you will understand...
You’ll figure out why we’re so poor!”
And his chipped knife trembled dully
Over a stale crust of daily food.

But here under the plank
Window -
Two winds waved
Wing;

Then with the spring flood
Waters
Russian shot up
People...

Presenter 1:

This is what Zinaida Gippius wrote in her diary.

Reader.

Zinaida Gippius (slide):

“February 23, 1917: “Today there are riots. No one, of course, knows anything for sure... so far no picture of an organized protest has been observed, but it very much seems that this is an ordinary hungry riot, the kind that happens in Germany. True, parallels cannot be drawn, because here we must take into account the enormous fact of the self-decomposition of the government... as if in water, and even muddy water, we look and do not see how far we are from collapse. It is inevitable."

Sounds like "Internationale".

Reader.
Alexander Blok(slide):

Those born in the year are deaf
They don’t remember their own paths.
We are children terrible years Russia -
I can't forget anything.

Sizzling years!
Is there madness in you, is there hope?
From the days of war, from the days of freedom -
There is a bloody glow in the faces.

There is muteness - then the sound of the alarm
He forced me to stop my mouth.
In hearts that were once delighted,
There is a fatal emptiness.

And let over our deathbed
The crow will screech, -
Those who are more worthy, God, God,
Let them see your kingdom!

Presenter 1:
On February 25, economic strikes developed into a general political strike, held under the slogans “Down with tsarism!”, “Down with war!”. More than 300 thousand people took part in it.

Presenter 2:
Emperor Nicholas II sent a telegram from Headquarters in Mogilev: “I command you to stop the unrest in the capital tomorrow!”

Scene (slide):
Nicholas II sits at his desk reading (with a thoughtful expression on his face, a slow, confused voice) a telegram from the Chairman State Duma M.V. Rodzianko

“The situation is serious. There is anarchy in the capital. The government is paralyzed. There is indiscriminate shooting in the streets. It is necessary to entrust a person enjoying the confidence of the country to form a new government. We must not hesitate... I pray to God that at this hour the responsibility does not fall on the crown bearer... Answer (writes): “I command the State Duma to be dissolved!”

Reader.
Osip Mandelstam (slide):

My age, my beast, who can
Look into your pupils
And with his blood he will glue
Two centuries of vertebrae?

Throat from earthly things,
The backbone only trembles
On the threshold of new days...
Blood - the construction worker is gushing
Throat of earthly things
And splashes with burning fish
The warm cartilage of the seas hits the shore.
And from a high bird's net,
From azure wet blocks
Indifference pours, pours
To your fatal bruise.

Presenter 1:
February 27. The rebels captured the Arsenal, train stations, the most important government institutions, and freed political and criminal prisoners from prisons. We took possession of the Winter Palace.
Presenter 2:
28th of February. The Admiralty fell. The Tsar's ministers were arrested.

Reader 1:
Revolution is the roar of the streets,
it is the tramp of crowds read aloud.
Only in a revolution can you face bullets,
winnowing them away with my breasts like fluff.

Reader 2:
Revolution is souls wide open!
The heart has knocked down all the grievances,
and into empty ribs, no matter how blinding your eyes are,
the sky is filled with lumps of blue.

Reader 3:
The revolution is a holiday for the idle,
To those who were out of work - hello:
only in the revolution for the cause of execution,
There are no executions for idleness!

Presenter 1:
On February 28, Nicholas II left his headquarters for Tsarskoe Selo; on the night of March 1, he was informed that the railway tracks were occupied by rebel troops.

On the slide is the Manifesto on the abdication of Nicholas II.
Reader:
Wide wide, wide open
Royal Doors!
The blackness faded away, subsided.
Pure heat
The altar is burning.
- Christ is Risen,
Yesterday's king!
Fell without glory
Double headed eagle.
- Tsar! - You were wrong.
Will be remembered by posterity
More than once again -
Byzantine treachery
Your clear eyes.

Your judges -
Thunderstorm and storm!
Tsar! Not people -
God has sought you.

The song by A. Vertinsky “What I have to say...” is playing.

Presenter 1:

Anthem of free Russia - a version of the Russian anthem proposed after February Revolution composer A. T. Grechaninov to words K. Balmont :


A mighty power, a boundless ocean!
Glory to the freedom fighters who dispelled the fog!

We are free and happy, the dawn is burning for us all!
Long live Russia, a free country!
The free element is destined to be great!

Reader
Valery Bryusov (slide):

Age-old dreams come true
All the best, all living hearts.
Transformed Russia
Finally free!

Presenter 1

The February Revolution of 1917, which was greeted with enthusiasm, although it put an end to the absolute monarchy in Russia, very soon disappointed the revolutionary-minded “lower strata” - the army, workers and peasants, who expected it to end the war, transfer land to the peasants, ease working conditions for workers and democratic power devices.

Presenter 2

The country has developed a powerful system of Soviets of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies, which has become an alternative to the bodies of the Provisional Government.

Presenter 1

In July 1917, the Provisional Government carried out mass arrests of deputies of the Petrograd Soviet, and at the same time, demonstrations took place in Petrograd under the slogan “All power to the Soviets!”

Presenter 2

The Bolsheviks headed for an armed uprising in August 1917. Events developed rapidly.

Presenter 1

Presenter 2

At 10 a.m. on October 25, the Military Revolutionary Committee issued an appeal in which it was reported that all “ government passed into the hands of the organ of the Petrograd Soviet of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies." At 21:00, a blank shot from the Baltic Fleet cruiser Aurora signaled the start of the assault on the Winter Palace, and at 2 a.m. on October 26, the Provisional Government was arrested.

The sound of a gun.
Reader.
Sergey Yesenin:
The sky is like a bell
The month is a language
My mother is my homeland,
I am a Bolshevik.

For the sake of the universe
Brotherhood of Man
I rejoice in the song
Your death.

Sturdy and strong
To your death
The bell is blue
I've been hitting for a month.

Lay brothers
My song to you.
I hear in the fog
Good news.

Presenter 2:

The attitude towards the revolutionary events of 1917 was ambiguous and contradictory: from “My revolution, I went to Smolny” by Mayakovsky to “Cursed days” by I. Bunin. This is how the poet Alexander Blok reacted to them.

Reader.
Alexander Blok:

« The revolution of October 25... greeted joyfully, with a new faith in the cleansing power of the revolution... I walked around young, cheerful, vigorous, with shining eyes and listened to that “music of the revolution”, to that noise of the fall of the old world, which was constantly heard in my ears "

Presenter 1:

Mayakovsky was also enthusiastic about the revolution, and this attitude runs like a red thread through all the poet’s work. However, the author is well aware that a change of power is a serious social upheaval, which brings not only freedom to the common people, but also devastation, hunger, disease and drunken revelry. “Ode to the Revolution” is a landmark poem in this regard.

The song “We will bravely go into battle for the power of the Soviets...”

Reader.
Vladimir Mayakovsky (slide):

You,
booed,
ridiculed by batteries,
you,
ulcerated by the slander of bayonets,
I exalt with enthusiasm
over the swearing
solemn ode
"ABOUT!"
Oh, bestial!
Oh, children's!
Oh, cheap!
Oh, great one!
What other name did you have?
How else will you turn around, two-faced?

Who you are?
We
peddlers of the new faith,
beauty that sets an iron tone.
So that the frail natures do not defile the public gardens,
We're throwing reinforced concrete into the sky.
winners,
we walk around the world
through the angry roar of the old people.
And everyone
