According to legend, Thomas was a simple fisherman in the Galilee city. One day he heard one of Christ's sermons. She sunk into his soul so much that he abandoned his house, his studies and went after him. Thomas followed Jesus on all his journeys, and for this he was honored to be counted among the Lord's face. He was named "twin" because of his outward resemblance to the Savior.

Thomas was absent when, after the resurrection, Christ appeared before his disciples. Not believing their words, he expressed his disbelief. All his doubts were dispelled when Jesus appeared before him 8 days later and allowed him to touch his wounds.

Repented, the apostle began to wander and preach Christianity in many parts of the world. A person who began to doubt something was called "Thomas the unbeliever."

On October 19, 1645, a decree was issued in Russia on the population census, which was carried out the following year. The census of the times of Alexei Mikhailovich, being aimed at facilitating the search and return of fugitive peasants, had not statistical, but police tasks. Therefore, it is natural that they were afraid of her. But it is interesting that even when the census was undertaken solely to collect and clarify data on the country's population, they were still afraid of it. So, during the 1897 census, there were cases of self-immolation among Old Believers who feared questions about religion. The government had to constantly explain that the census would not be a source of persecution and harassment, "it would not serve as a pretext for any new taxes and duties."

But what about the old days. Even in the 21st century, some for some reason are wary of this idea of the state. Or, on the contrary, they consider it so frivolous that they ask to write themselves down as hobbits or elves. And this is not an invention - it was written that way.

At one time he was characterized as a "master of political pamphlet." But over time, his works lost their momentary political acuteness, but they became an example of irony, humor and "everyday" style. The pinnacle of Swift's work is Gulliver's Travels, written in 1726. Parodying and at the same time improving travel literature, the author “discovers” fantastic countries, satirically commenting on the real prospects and ideals of the European social order.

In 1731, Swift wrote Poems on the Death of Dr. Swift, where he wittily depicts the joyful commotion that would cause the death of a restless writer in official circles.

Jonathan Swift died in the same place where he was born - in Dublin. On his tombstone is carved an epitaph composed by himself: “Here lies the body of Jonathan Swift, Doctor of Divinity, dean of this cathedral, where severe indignation cannot torment the heart of the deceased. Come, traveler, and imitate, if you can, to the best of your ability, the brave defender of freedom. "

On October 19, 1811, a privileged school for boys, the Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum, was opened near St. Petersburg. The most famous graduate of the Lyceum was Alexander Pushkin.

Tsarskoe Selo, summer residence royal family was at that time a quiet green town. In the vast park stood the Catherine Palace, shining with blue trim and gilding. A huge four-story building was set aside for the Lyceum. The lower floor housed the economic department and the apartments of the inspector, tutors and some other officials; on the second floor there is a canteen, a hospital with a pharmacy and a conference room with an office; on the third - a hall, classrooms, a physical office, a room for newspapers and magazines and a library ... And, finally, on the upper - fourth floor - there are 50 rooms for lyceum students. Each such room had an iron bed, a chest of drawers, a desk (a small high table for standing work), a mirror, a chair and a table for washing. There was an inkwell and a candlestick on the counter.

Later, about the opening day of the Lyceum, Pushkin wrote:
"Do you remember: when the Lyceum was founded,
As a tsar, he opened the palace of tsaritsyn for us.
And we came. And Kunitsyn met us
Greetings between the royal guests ... ".

Of all the lyceum professors, Pushkin, like other lyceum students, singled out the professor of moral sciences Kunitsyn. The professor argued that by nature all people are equal and born free. This led to the conclusion: "No one can acquire property rights to another person." Lyceum students were impressed by such views.

The term of study at the Lyceum was determined by six years and was divided into two courses - initial and final. At the Lyceum - the only one educational institutions those years - there was no corporal punishment. The history of the Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum ended in 1918, when it was closed by the Bolsheviks.

October 19, 1812. It got colder in Moscow, the first snow fell. On October 19 (7th according to the old style), Napoleon's army, which had left the city, went out to meet its death. It was an escape, but Napoleon consoled himself with the thought that he would return in the spring. Indomitable anger, tormenting the soul of the French emperor, found a way out in the order to blow up the Kremlin, set fire to all public buildings and barracks.

Part of the Kremlin walls and some of the towers flew into the air. The Faceted Chamber was destroyed, the palace burned down, but the cathedrals survived. The departure of Bonaparte from the Russian capital, burned by its inhabitants, was the beginning of the end of the once invincible army. The French, forced to return along the devastated Smolensk road, died in thousands from frost and hunger and covered the road with their corpses. By November, only 60 thousand people remained of Napoleon's half-million army.

In 1835 on October 19 (old style October 7) Nikolai Gogol sat down at the table and wrote a letter to Pushkin. Having reported on the progress of work on Dead Souls, Nikolai Vasilyevich moved on to the main thing: “Do me the mercy, give at least some plot, at least some funny or not funny, but a purely Russian anecdote. The hand is trembling to write a comedy in the meantime ... Do me mercy, give me a plot; the spirit will be a comedy of five acts, and I swear it will be funnier than the devil ... ”.

The great writer, who is not recognized for his own in Ukraine and is generously given to Russia, did not become an oath-breaker: it really became "funnier than the devil." This will be confirmed by everyone who has read the comedy "The Inspector General".

On October 19, 1880, Sergei Trufanov, the future hieromonk Iliodor, was born, one of the most significant figures in the right-wing movement of the early 20th century, one of the leaders of the Black Hundreds, a member of the Union of the Russian People.

Iliodor was a rival of Grigory Rasputin in the struggle for influence in the highest public spheres... He waged a struggle against the State Duma and the new regime in general, introduced, in the words of the hieromonk, by "noblemen and ministers who were bribed by Jews." Iliodor attacked the Russian intelligentsia, which, according to him, brought everything bad from the French: debauchery, godlessness, disobedience to the authorities. But the common people, according to the hieromonk, "still retained intact spiritual moral purity and strength."

For beating Rasputin in 1912, Iliodor was imprisoned in the Florishchevo desert of the Vladimir province. He resigned his rank and announced his break with the church. Since 1914, Iliodor lived in exile, where he wrote "The Holy Devil" - notes about Rasputin.
