Muranovo Estate Museum-Reserve named after F.
Tyutchev
Article published in Mayak newspaper on July 20, 2016 the summer games season is open. They play bilbock, cerso and croquet.
“There is only one thing I regret: games… Even wisdom cannot replace them,” wrote Zinaida Gippius. Sadly, it’s a fact: the games of the twentieth century are gradually disappearing, to say nothing of the nineteenth century. And about the games of the twenty-first century, it is better to ask our children, grandchildren, and they will tell us in detail about computer games. Well, if you ask them, for example, what is the difference between burners and tags? Difficult question? And what is serso, bilbock and what are the rules of the game of croquet? This is what is called a backfilling question! Let’s figure it out.
Bilbock is a French word. Rather, there are two of them — “bille” — “ball” and “bouquer” — “to put on the horns”. This is how this game was described in the collection “Games for All Ages”, published in St. Petersburg in 1844: “Bilbock consists of: 1) a wooden or bone ball with a conical hole drilled through, and 2) sticks with a flat cup at one end and pointed at the other end . .. For 100 years this game has been in great use. In France, under Louis XV, no one left the house without taking a bilbock … «
Of course, this game came to Russia much later, but we also played it for a long time. Dmitry Dmitrievich Blagovo (Archimandrite Pimen) recalled how, as a boy, he played bilbock in Moscow’s Petrovsky Park in the 1830s–1840s. In the 1850s, twenty-year-old Leo Tolstoy, in his diary entry about the idleness of social events, spoke of this game as follows: “J.-J. Rousseau, among all those things that he offered and which no one accepted, offered to play bilbock in society, so that his hands were busy … «The skepticism of the future great Russian writer about bilbock would hardly be understandable to little Valechka Kataev, the grandson of general and future famous Soviet writer who adored this game. At 19In the 1970s, Kataev, recalling his childhood at the beginning of the 20th century, wrote: “Almost all boys and girls had bilboks in their satchels and pockets, and in every free minute they were taken out into the light of day, and sonorous wooden clicks of balls were heard that did not fall into the cup, and dense clapping — caught. The balls landed almost soundlessly on the point. Then this toy somehow gradually went out of fashion. In my memory, only the word «bilbock» remained. It evoked the idea of the amazingly pleasant, musical sound of a clicking wooden ball and of the dark red lacquered surface of all this toy, skillfully carved by handicraftsmen, like those mills, abacuses, Easter Easter eggs, spillikins and tops that so adorned our childhood.
In his memoirs, Valentin Kataev names another game that is a bit like bilbock — this is serso. Similar at least in that the name is also French and means “circle” (fr. cerceau from lat. circulus). In one of the issues of the magazine for children «Fun and Stories» for 1864, the game is described as follows: «The point is to throw a small ring up with the help of two sticks, which at that time are pushed apart, and take it on two other sticks, with which again let him in…”
The rules described in the log are quite complex. It was possible to play easier when the second player throws the rings not with a stick-sword, but with his hands. The writer and teacher Elizaveta Nikolaevna Vodovozova in her book “Mental Development of Children from the First Manifestation of Consciousness to the Age of Eight”, published in 1871, wrote: “For the summer, you can choose your own suitable toys. First of all, I will name those who exercise in running after moving objects and require a true eye and dexterity in their hands. The game of serso was recommended by her to children as «a well-known game that is accompanied by very useful movements for the whole body.» Elizaveta Vodovozova was a Smolyanka — a pupil of the Smolny Institute for Noble Maidens in St. Petersburg. It is possible that she herself played serso with her college friends. At least in Moscow, at the Elizabethan Institute for Noble Maidens, they played serso, which the writer Anna Nikolaevna Engelhardt recalled in her “Essays on Institute Life of the Past”. However, it cannot be said that serso was played only in children’s groups. Dmitry Sergeevich Likhachev, whose childhood fell on 1910s, talked about how it was a family game. “Which of your childhood games did you like the most? Was there a game that everyone played in the dachas? — asked him in 1995 the journalist Alexei Samoilov. Likhachev’s answer is as follows: “A very beautiful game — serso. Do you know? This is when they throw circles with swords. And the most wonderful — everyone played it — croquet.
That’s how, thanks to Dmitry Sergeevich Likhachev, we switched to croquet. “The nineteenth century is full of this game,” he said. Indeed, croquet has been an incredibly popular dacha game for many decades. Croquet courts and sets for the game were available in many noble families. And there were those who passionately dreamed of buying them. The daughter of the county marshal of the nobility, sixteen-year-old Maria Bashkirtseva (who later became a famous artist) wrote in her diary: “Last night I prayed to God … Three times already He listened to my prayers: the first time I asked for a game of croquet, and my aunt brought it to me from Geneva . .. «So the frequent idea of croquet as a game of boring, prudish in the British way is an established stereotype, nothing more. At 189In the 1st year, a collection of English games in the open air was published in Russia, in which the compiler of the publication E.M. Dementiev wrote about croquet as a very interesting game: «If it is sometimes boring, then it depends not on the game, but on the players who are not familiar enough with it.» Further, as an undoubted advantage of croquet, he pointed out that «it is almost the only more or less difficult outdoor game available to girls and maidens.»
In fact, both girls and boys enjoyed playing croquet. In addition, it cannot be said that croquet is an easy pastime. This game could be very upsetting. Maria Andreevna Beketova, the aunt of the poet Alexander Blok, recalled that one day, at a dacha in Shakhmatovo, little Alexander, playing croquet with his cousins, “accidentally hit Andryusha * with a croquet mallet. Andryusha was in great pain, blood was flowing, he was crying, but when he saw that his mother was angry, he began to repeat through tears: “Sashura is not to blame, he is not to blame. ” ** Despite such incidents, little Sasha Blok liked to play croquet . Here is what he wrote from near Saratov, where he was visiting relatives, to his grandfather: “I learned to play croquet. I like it a lot.» As you can see, the nobles of the Saratov province also had croquet grounds. The same can be said about the Oryol province, where the future famous artist, and then still a high school student Mstislav Dobuzhinsky, also visited, recalling how he played croquet with his cousin. There was also a croquet ground at the Tsvetaevs’ dacha in Tarusa, as Anastasia Tsvetaeva wrote about.
Of course, croquet was played in St. Petersburg and its environs. Another future famous artist, Alexander Benois, describes his uncle’s dacha in Peterhof as follows: “… the ladies spent their days doing needlework and talking, both in good and rainy weather, watching from there how young people played croquet in the garden … »
Leo Tolstoy’s family was fond of croquet. Tatyana Sukhotina-Tolstaya, the eldest daughter of the writer, often wrote about this game on the pages of her diary. His brother-in-law, Stepan Andreevich Bers, also described family leisure in Yasnaya Polyana in detail: “I remember playing croquet. Everyone participated in it, both adults and children. It usually began after dinner and ended with candles. Even now I am ready to consider this game a gambling one, because I played it with Lev Nikolaevich.
And finally, I will turn again to Alexei Samoilov’s article “Unexpected Likhachev”, where Dmitry Sergeevich talks about his favorite country games: “I didn’t play anything in my childhood and adolescence — burners, bast shoes, ruffles (now they say “towns”) , rode a bicycle. But croquet cannot be compared with anything… croquet for us, our children and grandchildren is from the same category as the harpsichord, the minuet, something elegiac and nostalgic. Not a live game, but history and literature.”
Yes, perhaps it is so… “On the croquet court, almost from the very dawn, the game begins. The boys have been arguing since morning. Agnia Barto wrote these lines immediately after the war, at 1946 year.
