Excerpt characterizing Onishchenko, Gennady Grigorievich

“Whoop, whoop!” he shouted. When he saw the count, lightning flashed in his eyes.
“F...” he shouted, threatening the count with his raised arapnik.
-About...the wolf!...hunters! - And as if not deigning to deign the embarrassed, frightened count with further conversation, he, with all the anger he had prepared for the count, hit the sunken wet sides of the brown gelding and rushed after the hounds. The Count, as if punished, stood looking around and trying with a smile to make Semyon regret his situation. But Semyon was no longer there: he, taking a detour through the bushes, jumped the wolf from the abatis. Greyhounds also jumped over the beast from both sides. But the wolf walked through the bushes and not a single hunter intercepted him.

Nikolai Rostov, meanwhile, stood in his place, waiting for the beast. By the approach and distance of the rut, by the sounds of the voices of dogs known to him, by the approach, distance and elevation of the voices of those arriving, he felt what was happening on the island. He knew that there were arrived (young) and seasoned (old) wolves on the island; he knew that the hounds had split into two packs, that they were poisoning somewhere, and that something untoward had happened. Every second he waited for the beast to come to his side. He made thousands of different assumptions about how and from which side the animal would run and how it would poison it. Hope gave way to despair. Several times he turned to God with a prayer for the wolf to come out to him; he prayed with that passionate and conscientious feeling with which people pray in moments of great excitement, depending on an insignificant reason. “Well, what does it cost you,” he said to God, “to do this for me! I know that You are great, and that it is a sin to ask You for this; but for the sake of God, make sure that the seasoned one comes out on me, and that Karai, in front of the “uncle” who is watching from there, slams into his throat with a death grip.” A thousand times during these half-hours, with a persistent, tense and restless gaze, Rostov looked around the edge of the forest with two sparse oak trees over an aspen underhang, and the ravine with a worn edge, and the uncle’s hat, barely visible from behind a bush to the right.
“No, this happiness will not happen,” thought Rostov, but what would it cost? Will not be! I always have misfortune, both in cards and in war, in everything.” Austerlitz and Dolokhov flashed brightly, but quickly replacing, in his imagination. “Only once in my life would I hunt down a seasoned wolf, I don’t want to do it again!” he thought, straining his hearing and vision, looking to the left and again to the right and listening to the slightest shades of the sounds of the rut. He looked again to the right and saw something running towards him across the deserted field. “No, this can’t be!” thought Rostov, sighing heavily, like a man sighs when he accomplishes something that has been long awaited by him. The greatest happiness happened - and so simply, without noise, without glitter, without commemoration. Rostov could not believe his eyes and this doubt lasted more than a second. The wolf ran forward and jumped heavily over the pothole that was on his road. It was an old beast, with a gray back and a full, reddish belly. He ran slowly, apparently convinced that no one could see him. Without breathing, Rostov looked back at the dogs. They lay and stood, not seeing the wolf and not understanding anything. Old Karai, turning his head and baring his yellow teeth, angrily looking for a flea, clicked them on his hind thighs.
- Hoot! – Rostov said in a whisper, his lips protruding. The dogs, trembling their glands, jumped up, ears pricked. Karai scratched his thigh and stood up, pricking his ears and lightly wagging his tail, on which felted wool hung.
– Let in or not let in? - Nikolai said to himself while the wolf moved towards him, separating from the forest. Suddenly the whole face of the wolf changed; he shuddered, seeing human eyes that he had probably never seen before, fixed on him, and turning his head slightly towards the hunter, he stopped - back or forward? Eh! anyway, forward!... obviously,” he seemed to say to himself, and set off forward, no longer looking back, with a soft, rare, free, but decisive leap.
“Whoops!...” Nikolai shouted in a voice that was not his own, and of its own accord his good horse rushed headlong down the hill, jumping over water holes and across the wolf; and the dogs rushed even faster, overtaking her. Nikolai did not hear his cry, did not feel that he was galloping, did not see either the dogs or the place where he was galloping; he saw only the wolf, who, intensifying his run, galloped, without changing direction, along the ravine. The first to appear near the beast was the black-spotted, wide-bottomed Milka and began to approach the beast. Closer, closer... now she came to him. But the wolf glanced at her slightly, and instead of attacking her, as she always did, Milka suddenly raised her tail and began to rest on her front legs.
- Whoop! - Nikolai shouted.
Red Lyubim jumped out from behind Milka, quickly rushed at the wolf and grabbed him by the hachi (hips of his hind legs), but at that very second he jumped in fear to the other side. The wolf sat down, clicked his teeth and got up again and galloped forward, escorted a yard away by all the dogs that did not approach him.
- He will go away! No, It is Immpossible! – Nikolai thought, continuing to scream in a hoarse voice.
- Karai! Hoot!...” he shouted, looking with the eyes of the old dog, his only hope. Karai, with all his old strength, stretched out as much as he could, looking at the wolf, galloped heavily away from the beast, across it. But from the speed of the wolf’s leap and the slowness of the dog’s leap, it was clear that Karai’s calculation was wrong. Nikolai could no longer see the forest far ahead of him, which, having reached it, the wolf would probably leave. Dogs and a hunter appeared ahead, galloping almost towards them. There was still hope. Unknown to Nikolai, a dark, young, long male from someone else's pack quickly flew up to the wolf in front and almost knocked him over. The wolf quickly, as could not have been expected from him, stood up and rushed towards the dark dog, snapped his teeth - and the bloody dog, with a torn side, shrieked shrilly and stuck his head into the ground.
- Karayushka! Father!.. - Nikolai cried...
The old dog, with his tufts dangling on his thighs, thanks to the stop that had taken place, cutting off the wolf’s path, was already five steps away from him. As if sensing danger, the wolf glanced sideways at Karai, hid the log (tail) even further between his legs and increased his gallop. But here - Nikolai only saw that something had happened to Karai - he instantly found himself on the wolf and together with him fell head over heels into the waterhole that was in front of them.
The moment when Nikolai saw the dogs swarming with the wolf in the pond, from under which one could see the wolf’s gray fur, his outstretched back leg, and his frightened and choking head with his ears pressed back (Karai was holding him by the throat), the minute when Nikolai saw this was the happiest moment of his life. He had already taken hold of the pommel of the saddle to dismount and stab the wolf, when suddenly the animal’s head poked up from this mass of dogs, then its front legs stood on the edge of the waterhole. The wolf flashed his teeth (Karai was no longer holding him by the throat), jumped out of the pond with his hind legs and, tucking his tail, again separated from the dogs, moved forward. Karai with bristling fur, probably bruised or wounded, had difficulty crawling out of the waterhole.
- My God! For what?...” Nikolai shouted in despair.
The uncle's hunter, on the other side, galloped to cut off the wolf, and his dogs again stopped the beast. They surrounded him again.
Nikolai, his stirrup, his uncle and his hunter hovered over the beast, hooting, screaming, every minute getting ready to get down when the wolf sat on its backside and every time starting forward when the wolf shook itself and moved towards the notch that was supposed to save it. Even at the beginning of this persecution, Danila, hearing hooting, jumped out to the edge of the forest. He saw Karai take the wolf and stop the horse, believing that the matter was over. But when the hunters did not get down, the wolf shook himself and ran away again. Danila released his brown one not towards the wolf, but in a straight line towards the notch in the same way as Karai - to cut off the beast. Thanks to this direction, he jumped up to the wolf while the second time he was stopped by his uncle's dogs.
Danila galloped silently, holding the drawn dagger in his left hand and, like a flail, swinging his arapnik along the toned sides of the brown one.
Nikolai did not see or hear Danila until a brown one panted past him, panting heavily, and he heard the sound of a falling body and saw that Danila was already lying in the middle of the dogs on the back of the wolf, trying to catch him by the ears. It was obvious to the dogs, the hunters, and the wolf that it was all over now. The animal, with its ears flattened in fear, tried to rise, but the dogs surrounded it. Danila, standing up, took a falling step and with all his weight, as if lying down to rest, fell on the wolf, grabbing him by the ears. Nikolai wanted to stab, but Danila whispered: “No need, we’ll make a joke,” and changing position, he stepped on the wolf’s neck with his foot. They put a stick in the wolf's mouth, tied it, as if bridling it with a pack, tied its legs, and Danila rolled the wolf from one side to the other a couple of times.
With happy, exhausted faces, the living, seasoned wolf was loaded onto a darting and snorting horse and, accompanied by dogs squealing at him, was taken to the place where everyone was supposed to gather. Two young ones were taken by hounds and three by greyhounds. The hunters arrived with their prey and stories, and everyone came up to look at the seasoned wolf, who, hanging his forehead with a bitten stick in his mouth, looked at this whole crowd of dogs and people surrounding him with large, glassy eyes. When they touched him, he trembled with his bound legs, wildly and at the same time simply looked at everyone. Count Ilya Andreich also drove up and touched the wolf.
“Oh, what a swear word,” he said. - Seasoned, huh? – he asked Danila, who was standing next to him.
“He’s seasoned, your Excellency,” answered Danila, hastily taking off his hat.
The Count remembered his missed wolf and his encounter with Danila.
“However, brother, you are angry,” said the count. – Danila said nothing and only smiled shyly, a childishly meek and pleasant smile.

The old count went home; Natasha and Petya promised to come right away. The hunt went on, as it was still early. In the middle of the day, the hounds were released into a ravine overgrown with young, dense forest. Nikolai, standing in the stubble, saw all his hunters.
Opposite from Nikolai there were green fields and there stood his hunter, alone in a hole behind a prominent hazel bush. They had just brought in the hounds when Nikolai heard the rare rutting of a dog he knew, Volthorne; other dogs joined him, then falling silent, then starting to chase again. A minute later, a voice was heard from the island calling for a fox, and the whole flock, falling down, drove along the screwdriver, towards the greenery, away from Nikolai.
He saw horse-dwellers in red hats galloping along the edges of an overgrown ravine, he even saw dogs, and every second he expected a fox to appear on the other side, in the greenery.
The hunter standing in the hole moved and released the dogs, and Nikolai saw a red, low, strange fox, which, fluffing its pipe, hurriedly rushed through the greenery. The dogs began to sing to her. As they approached, the fox began to wag in circles between them, making these circles more and more often and circling its fluffy pipe (tail) around itself; and then someone’s white dog flew in, followed by a black one, and everything got mixed up, and the dogs became a star, with their butts apart, slightly hesitating. Two hunters galloped up to the dogs: one in a red hat, the other, a stranger, in a green caftan.
"What it is? thought Nikolai. Where did this hunter come from? This is not my uncle’s.”
The hunters fought off the fox and stood on foot for a long time, without rushing. Near them on chumburs stood horses with their saddles and dogs lay. The hunters waved their hands and did something with the fox. From there the sound of a horn was heard - the agreed signal of a fight.
“It’s the Ilaginsky hunter who is rebelling with our Ivan,” said the eager Nikolai.
Nikolai sent the groom to call his sister and Petya to him and walked at a walk to the place where the riders were collecting the hounds. Several hunters galloped to the scene of the fight.
Nikolai got off his horse and stopped next to the hounds with Natasha and Petya riding up, waiting for information about how the matter would end. A fighting hunter with a fox in torokas rode out from behind the edge of the forest and approached the young master. He took off his hat from afar and tried to speak respectfully; but he was pale, out of breath, and his face was angry. One of his eyes was black, but he probably didn’t know it.
-What did you have there? – Nikolai asked.
- Of course, he will poison from under our hounds! And my mousey bitch caught it. Go and sue! Enough for the fox! I'll give him a ride as a fox. Here she is, in Toroki. Do you want this?...” said the hunter, pointing to the dagger and probably imagining that he was still talking to his enemy.
Nikolai, without talking to the hunter, asked his sister and Petya to wait for him and went to the place where this hostile Ilaginskaya hunt was.
The victorious hunter rode into the crowd of hunters and there, surrounded by sympathetic curious people, told his exploit.
The fact was that Ilagin, with whom the Rostovs were in a quarrel and trial, was hunting in places that, according to custom, belonged to the Rostovs, and now, as if on purpose, he ordered to drive up to the island where the Rostovs were hunting, and allowed him to poison his hunter from under other people’s hounds.
Nikolai never saw Ilagin, but as always, in his judgments and feelings, not knowing the middle, according to rumors about the violence and willfulness of this landowner, he hated him with all his soul and considered him his worst enemy. He now rode towards him, embittered and agitated, tightly clutching the arapnik in his hand, in full readiness for the most decisive and dangerous actions against his enemy.
As soon as he left the ledge of the forest, he saw a fat gentleman in a beaver cap on a beautiful black horse, accompanied by two stirrups, moving towards him.
Instead of an enemy, Nikolai found in Ilagin a personable, courteous gentleman, who especially wanted to get to know the young count. Having approached Rostov, Ilagin lifted his beaver cap and said that he was very sorry for what happened; that he orders to punish the hunter who allowed himself to be poisoned by other people's dogs, asks the count to be acquainted and offers him his places for hunting.
Natasha, afraid that her brother would do something terrible, rode not far behind him in excitement. Seeing that the enemies were bowing in a friendly manner, she drove up to them. Ilagin raised his beaver cap even higher in front of Natasha and, smiling pleasantly, said that the Countess represented Diana both by her passion for hunting and by her beauty, about which he had heard a lot.
Ilagin, in order to make amends for the guilt of his hunter, urgently asked Rostov to go to his eel, which was a mile away, which he kept for himself and in which, according to him, there were hares. Nikolai agreed, and the hunt, having doubled in size, moved on.
It was necessary to walk through fields to reach the Ilaginsky eel. The hunters straightened out. The gentlemen rode together. Uncle, Rostov, Ilagin secretly glanced at other people's dogs, trying so that others would not notice, and anxiously looked for rivals for their dogs among these dogs.
Rostov was especially struck by her beauty by a small pure-dog, narrow, but with steel muscles, a thin muzzle and bulging black eyes, a red-spotted bitch in Ilagin’s pack. He had heard about the agility of the Ilagin dogs, and in this beautiful bitch he saw his Milka’s rival.
In the middle of a sedate conversation about this year's harvest, which Ilagin started, Nikolai pointed out to him his red-spotted bitch.
- This bitch is good! – he said in a casual tone. - Rezva?
- This? Yes, this is a good dog, it catches,” Ilagin said in an indifferent voice about his red-spotted Erza, for which a year ago he gave his neighbor three families of servants. “So you, Count, don’t boast about threshing?” – he continued the conversation he had started. And considering it polite to repay the young count in kind, Ilagin examined his dogs and chose Milka, who caught his eye with her width.
- This black-spotted one is good - okay! - he said.
“Yes, nothing, he’s jumping,” answered Nikolai. “If only a seasoned hare ran into the field, I would show you what kind of dog this is!” he thought, and turning to the stirrup, he said that he would give a ruble to anyone who suspected, that is, found a lying hare.
“I don’t understand,” Ilagin continued, “how other hunters are envious of the beast and the dogs.” I'll tell you about myself, Count. It makes me happy, you know, to take a ride; Now you’ll get together with such a company... what’s better (he again took off his beaver cap in front of Natasha); and this is to count the skins, how many I brought - I don’t care!
- Well, yes.
- Or so that I would be offended that someone else’s dog catches it, and not mine - I just want to admire the baiting, right, Count? Then I judge...
“Atu - him,” a drawn-out cry was heard at that time from one of the stopped Greyhounds. He stood on a half-mound of stubble, raising his arapnik, and once again repeated in a drawn-out manner: “A—tu—him!” (This sound and the raised arapnik meant that he saw a hare lying in front of him.)
“Oh, I suspected it,” Ilagin said casually. - Well, let's poison him, Count!
- Yes, we need to drive up... yes - well, together? - Nikolai answered, peering at Erza and the red Scolding uncle, two of his rivals with whom he had never managed to match his dogs. “Well, they’ll cut my Milka out of my ears!” he thought, moving towards the hare next to his uncle and Ilagin.
- Seasoned? - Ilagin asked, moving towards the suspicious hunter, and not without excitement, looking around and whistling to Erza...
- And you, Mikhail Nikanorych? - he turned to his uncle.
The uncle rode frowning.
- Why should I meddle, because yours are pure marching! - in the village they pay for the dog, your thousands. You try on yours, and I’ll take a look!
- Scold! On, on,” he shouted. - Swearing! - he added, involuntarily using this diminutive to express his tenderness and hope placed in this red dog. Natasha saw and felt the excitement hidden by these two old men and her brother and was worried herself.
The hunter stood on the half-hill with a raised arapnik, the gentlemen approached him at a step; the hounds, walking on the very horizon, turned away from the hare; the hunters, not the gentlemen, also drove away. Everything moved slowly and sedately.
-Where is your head lying? - Nikolai asked, approaching a hundred paces towards the suspicious hunter. But before the hunter had time to answer, the hare, sensing the frost by tomorrow morning, could not stand still and jumped up. A pack of hounds on bows, with a roar, rushed downhill after the hare; from all sides the greyhounds, who were not in the pack, rushed at the hounds and the hare. All these slowly moving hunters are screaming: stop! knocking down the dogs, the greyhounds shout: atu! guiding the dogs, they galloped across the field. Calm Ilagin, Nikolai, Natasha and uncle flew, not knowing how or where, seeing only dogs and a hare, and only fearing to lose sight of the course of the persecution even for a moment. The hare was seasoned and playful. Jumping up, he did not immediately gallop, but moved his ears, listening to the screaming and stomping that suddenly came from all sides. He jumped ten times slowly, allowing the dogs to approach him, and finally, having chosen the direction and realizing the danger, he put his ears to the ground and rushed at full speed. He was lying on the stubble, but in front there were green fields through which it was muddy. The two dogs of the suspicious hunter, who were closest, were the first to look and lay after the hare; but they had not yet moved far towards him, when the Ilaginskaya red-spotted Erza flew out from behind them, approached a dog's distance, with terrible speed attacked, aiming at the hare's tail and thinking that she had grabbed it, rolled head over heels. The hare arched his back and kicked even harder. Wide-bottomed, black-spotted Milka came out from behind Erza and quickly began to sing to the hare.
- Honey! mother! – Nikolai’s triumphant cry was heard. It seemed that Milka would strike and catch the hare, but she caught up and rushed past. The Rusak moved away. The beautiful Erza swooped in again and hung over the hare’s very tail, as if trying to grab him by the back thigh so as not to make a mistake now.
- Erzanka! sister! – Ilagin’s voice was heard crying, not his own. Erza did not heed his pleas. At the very moment when one should have expected her to grab the hare, he whirled and rolled out to the line between the greenery and the stubble. Again Erza and Milka, like a pair of drawbars, aligned themselves and began to sing to the hare; at the turn it was easier for the hare; the dogs did not approach him so quickly.
- Scold! Swearing! Pure march! - shouted at that time another new voice, and Rugai, his uncle’s red, humpbacked dog, stretching out and arching his back, caught up with the first two dogs, moved out from behind them, kicked with terrible selflessness right over the hare, knocked him off the line onto the green, Another time he pushed even harder through the dirty greens, drowning up to his knees, and you could only see how he rolled head over heels, getting his back dirty in the mud, with the hare. The star of dogs surrounded him. A minute later everyone was standing near the crowded dogs. One happy uncle got down and walked away. Shaking the hare so that the blood would drain, he looked around anxiously, running his eyes, unable to find a position for his arms and legs, and spoke, not knowing with whom or what.
“This is a matter of march... here is a dog... here he pulled out everyone, both thousandths and rubles - a pure matter of march!” he said, gasping and looking around angrily, as if scolding someone, as if everyone were his enemies, everyone had offended him, and only now he finally managed to justify himself. “Here are the thousandths for you - a pure march!”
- Scold me, fuck off! - he said, throwing the cut-off paw with the earth stuck on it; - deserved it - pure march!
“She pulled out all the stops, gave three runs on her own,” Nikolai said, also not listening to anyone, and not caring whether they listened to him or not.
- What the hell is this! - said Ilaginsky the stirrup.
“Yes, as soon as she stopped short, every mongrel will catch you from stealing,” said Ilagin at the same time, red-faced, barely catching his breath from the galloping and excitement. At the same time, Natasha, without taking a breath, squealed joyfully and enthusiastically so shrilly that her ears were ringing. With this screech she expressed everything that other hunters also expressed in their one-time conversation. And this squeal was so strange that she herself should have been ashamed of this wild squeal and everyone should have been surprised by it if it had been at another time.
The uncle himself pulled the hare back, deftly and smartly threw him over the back of the horse, as if reproaching everyone with this throwing, and with such an air that he didn’t even want to talk to anyone, sat on his kaurago and rode away. Everyone except him, sad and offended, left and only long after could they return to their former pretense of indifference. For a long time they looked at the red Rugay, who, with his hunchbacked back and dirt stained, rattling his iron, with the calm look of a winner, walked behind the legs of his uncle’s horse.
“Well, I’m the same as everyone else when it comes to bullying. Well, just hang in there!” It seemed to Nikolai that the appearance of this dog spoke.
When, long after, the uncle drove up to Nikolai and spoke to him, Nikolai was flattered that his uncle, after everything that had happened, still deigned to speak with him.

When Ilagin said goodbye to Nikolai in the evening, Nikolai found himself at such a far distance from home that he accepted his uncle’s offer to leave the hunt to spend the night with him (with his uncle), in his village of Mikhailovka.
- And if they came to see me, it would be a pure march! - said the uncle, even better; you see, the weather is wet, the uncle said, if we could rest, the countess would be taken in a droshky. “Uncle’s proposal was accepted, a hunter was sent to Otradnoye for the droshky; and Nikolai, Natasha and Petya went to see their uncle.
About five people, large and small, courtyard men ran out onto the front porch to meet the master. Dozens of women, old, big and small, leaned out from the back porch to watch the approaching hunters. The presence of Natasha, a woman, a lady on horseback, brought the curiosity of the uncle's servants to such limits that many, not embarrassed by her presence, came up to her, looked into her eyes and in her presence made their comments about her, as if about a miracle being shown, which is not a person, and cannot hear or understand what is said about him.
- Arinka, look, she’s sitting on her side! She sits herself, and the hem dangles... Look at the horn!
- Father of the world, that knife...
- Look, Tatar!
- How come you didn’t somersault? - said the bravest one, directly addressing Natasha.
The uncle got off his horse at the porch of his wooden house overgrown with a garden and, looking around at his household, shouted imperiously that the extra ones should leave and that everything necessary for receiving guests and hunting would be done.
Everything ran away. Uncle took Natasha off the horse and led her by the hand along the shaky plank steps of the porch. The house, not plastered, with log walls, was not very clean - it was not clear that the purpose of the people living was to avoid stains, but there was no noticeable neglect.
It smelled in the hallway fresh apples, and wolf and fox skins hung. Through the front hall, the uncle led his guests into a small hall with a folding table and red chairs, then into a living room with a birch round table and a sofa, then into an office with a torn sofa, a worn carpet and with portraits of Suvorov, the owner’s father and mother, and himself in a military uniform . There was a strong smell of tobacco and dogs in the office. In the office, the uncle asked the guests to sit down and make themselves at home, and he himself left. Scolding, his back not cleaned, entered the office and lay down on the sofa, cleaning himself with his tongue and teeth. From the office there was a corridor in which screens with torn curtains could be seen. Women's laughter and whispers could be heard from behind the screens. Natasha, Nikolai and Petya undressed and sat on the sofa. Petya leaned on his arm and immediately fell asleep; Natasha and Nikolai sat in silence. Their faces were burning, they were very hungry and very cheerful. They looked at each other (after the hunt, in the room, Nikolai no longer considered it necessary to show his male superiority in front of his sister); Natasha winked at her brother, and both did not hold back for long and burst into loud laughter, not yet having time to think of an excuse for their laughter.
A little later, the uncle came in wearing a Cossack jacket, blue trousers and small boots. And Natasha felt that this very suit, in which she had seen her uncle in Otradnoye with surprise and mockery, was a real suit, which was no worse than frock coats and tails. Uncle was also cheerful; Not only was he not offended by the laughter of his brother and sister (it could not enter his head that they could laugh at his life), but he himself joined in their causeless laughter.
- That’s how the young countess is - a pure march - I’ve never seen another like it! - he said, handing one pipe with a long shank to Rostov, and placing the other short, cut-off shank with the usual gesture between three fingers.
“I left for the day, at least on time for the man and as if nothing had happened!”
Soon after the uncle, the door opened; judging by the sound of her feet, a girl was obviously barefoot, and a fat, ruddy, beautiful woman 40 years old, with a double chin, and full, rosy lips. She, with hospitable presence and attractiveness in her eyes and every movement, looked around at the guests and bowed respectfully to them with a gentle smile. Despite her greater-than-usual thickness, which forced her to stick her chest and stomach forward and hold her head back, this woman (the uncle’s housekeeper) walked extremely lightly. She walked up to the table, put down the tray and deftly with her white, plump hands removed and placed bottles, snacks and treats on the table. Having finished this, she walked away and stood at the door with a smile on her face. - “Here I am!” Do you understand uncle now?” her appearance told Rostov. How not to understand: not only Rostov, but also Natasha understood her uncle and the meaning of the frowning eyebrows, and the happy, self-satisfied smile that slightly wrinkled his lips as Anisya Fedorovna entered. On the tray were herbalist, liqueurs, mushrooms, cakes of black flour on yuraga, comb honey, boiled and sparkling honey, apples, raw and roasted nuts and nuts in honey. Then Anisya Fedorovna brought jam with honey and sugar, and ham, and freshly fried chicken.
All this was Anisya Fedorovna’s farming, collecting and jamming. All this smelled and resonated and tasted like Anisya Fedorovna. Everything resonated with richness, purity, whiteness and a pleasant smile.

Chief State Sanitary Doctor of Russia

Head of the Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Welfare (since March 2004), Chief State Sanitary Doctor of Russia (since October 1996). Previously - Deputy Chairman of the State Committee for Sanitary and Epidemiological Surveillance of the Russian Federation, Deputy Chief State Sanitary Doctor of the Russian Federation (1991-1996), Acting Chairman of the State Committee for Sanitary and Epidemiological Surveillance of the Russian Federation (June - August 1996), Deputy Head of the Main Directorate of Quarantine Infections of the Ministry of Health USSR (1988-1991), Advisor in the Department of Health and Social Security of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR (1987-1988). Honored Doctor of the Russian Federation, Academician of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences.

Gennady Grigorievich Onishchenko was born on October 21, 1950 in the village of Chargyn-Tash, Suzak district, Osh region, Kirghiz SSR, (according to other sources, he was born on November 20 or 21, 1950). Onishchenko is Ukrainian by nationality: his father is Ukrainian and his mother is Turkmen. After graduating from school, Onishchenko decided, following the example of his mother, a medical worker, to become a doctor.

Onishchenko entered the sanitary and hygienic faculty of the Donetsk State Medical Institute named after Maxim Gorky, , , . According to some reports, he had relatives in Donetsk. At the institute, Onishchenko went in for sports, became a candidate for master of sports in weightlifting in the light heavyweight division - he lifted the barbell. According to some reports, at the institute Onishchenko led an extremely healthy lifestyle, practically did not drink alcohol and never smoked. In 1973, Onishchenko graduated from the institute and received the specialty "sanitary doctor". The level of training of those graduates, according to some estimates, was very high - many of Onishchenko’s classmates became chief doctors, and Sergei Berezhnov became the chief sanitary doctor of Ukraine.

In 1973, Onishchenko began working as an epidemiologist at the USSR Ministry of Railways, at the Yasinovataya linear sanitary and epidemiological station of the Donetsk Railway (DZhD), where he was assigned after graduation. In 1976, he was appointed chief physician of the transport SES of Krasnoarmeysk Children's Railways. According to some reports, having taken a leadership position, Onishchenko’s first step was to “restore order”, forcing his subordinates to observe subordination and discipline. At the same time, he personally drew up reports and inspected objects, came to work before everyone else and left later than everyone else. Onishchenko managed to organize the work of the sanitary and epidemiological station, which the heads of local enterprises began to take seriously. According to some reports, in the late 1970s, Onishchenko received high praise from the commission of the Ministry of Health for identifying a source of infection of milk-typhoid fever in the Donetsk region. During a trip to Moscow to the advanced training institute, Onishchenko met his future wife Galina Smirnova.

In March 1982, Onishchenko moved to Moscow, where he became the chief physician of the Moscow Metro sanitary and epidemiological station. In his new post, Onishchenko had to solve a number of unusual tasks related to the underground nature of the work: he was responsible for the ventilation of the entire volume of underground premises, compliance with the requirements for rolling stock, working conditions for drivers, the regime of workers who are in direct contact with passengers, and for prevention of infectious diseases.

A year later, in 1983, Onishchenko headed the central sanitary and epidemiological station of the USSR Ministry of Railways. In 1986, when the accident occurred at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, Onishchenko worked in Belarus and Ukraine from May 19 to 30: he personally supervised the evacuation of railway equipment and people, and monitored the process of decontamination of trains. In addition, according to some information, on his own initiative, Onishchenko lowered the permissible level of radiation for liquidators from 50 to 5 rem, thanks to which not a single railway liquidator died. While working at the USSR Ministry of Railways, Onishchenko received the title "Honorary Railway Worker".

In 1987, Onishchenko took the position of adviser in the department of health and social security of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR. He was invited to this position by Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR Nikolai Trubilin.

In 1988, Onishchenko became deputy head of the Main Directorate of Quarantine Infections of the USSR Ministry of Health, Mikhail Narkevich (according to other sources, it was the Main Epidemiological Directorate). According to the head of this department, Onishchenko was distinguished by his increased ability to work: he came to work before everyone else and was the last to leave; At the same time, Onishchenko practically did not rest on weekends and holidays, he never took a vacation.

First Chechen war Onishchenko controlled the epidemiological situation in the republic: in 1994, during the cholera epidemic in Chechnya, the republican authorities refused the help of Russian doctors; later doctors learned about the threat of anthrax (a shell destroyed the burial of dead livestock) and about the activation of three natural plague foci. Onishchenko obtained the necessary reagents and equipment, restored sanitary and epidemiological stations, which were temporarily replaced by special teams of the Stavropol and Rostov anti-plague institutes. Doctors took samples, examined water and soil, carried out vaccination campaigns, and fought hepatitis, dysentery, and diphtheria. In the fall of 1995, Onishchenko was kidnapped by militants on the road from Mozdok, at the entrance to Grozny. According to one version, his life was saved by the fact that he was unarmed, according to another - because of the Ukrainian nationality indicated in his passport. Onishchenko and his driver were robbed of their car, money and documents, and they themselves were thrown onto the road at night. According to some sources, Onishchenko visited Chechnya 7 times from December 1994 to November 1995; according to others, he spent 140 of the first 280 days of the war in the republic.

In June 1996, Onishchenko became acting chairman of the State Committee for Sanitary and Epidemiological Surveillance of the Russian Federation after the dismissal of Belyaev by decree of President Boris Yeltsin. According to one version, Belyaev was fired due to the struggle of the chief state sanitary doctor of Russia with the mafia, which was importing low-quality products; on the other hand, due to the use of the capabilities of the state committee for party purposes: Belyaev created political party"Kedr", whose assets included the heads of departments and regional divisions of the state committee. Onishchenko served as chairman of the state committee until the liquidation of the department in August 1996. At this time, there was an interdepartmental struggle for the preservation of the committee, its status and degree of independence. According to some experts, by this time it had become clear that sanitary barriers would play a significant role in restricting international trade: for example, in 1995, sanitary doctors seized almost 9 thousand tons of defective imported food; in the first half of 1996, the share of imports among rejected alcoholic beverages and food amounted to about 20 percent, and a number of presidential decrees and government regulations significantly expanded the powers of the sanitary and epidemiological service in the field of control over the quality of food and alcohol.

In October 1996, Onishchenko was appointed First Deputy Minister of Health of the Russian Federation Tatyana Dmitrieva, chief state sanitary doctor of the Russian Federation. In his new post, Onishchenko dealt with issues of the environment and natural resource management, environmental safety, genetic engineering activities, and the state monopoly on the production and circulation of ethyl alcohol and alcoholic products. It usually appeared in media reports only with the now traditional annual influenza epidemic warnings.

In the spring of 1998, Onishchenko retained the posts of chief state physician of the Russian Federation and first deputy of the new Minister of Health Yuri Shevchenko.

In April 1999, Onishchenko signed a decree banning the manufacture and sale of hygienic alcohol-containing liquids in the form of solutions, emulsions, suspensions and tinctures without medical and biological examination and clinical trials. According to experts, in this way he began the fight against surrogate perfume and cosmetic products, since the decree concerned various products based on technical alcohol, which, due to their cheapness (these products, unlike alcohol, were not subject to excise duties) were often consumed by a certain category of the population instead of vodka.

In October 1999, Onishchenko and Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation Pyotr Latyshev urgently flew to Penza on a special plane with a medical group intended to provide emergency assistance to Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Government Valentina Matvienko and Governor of the Penza Region Vasily Bochkarev, who were involved in a car accident on the Penza-Penza highway. Kamenki. Matvienko received a closed head injury, a concussion, a scalp wound to the frontal region, and a ligament rupture. It was Onishchenko who spoke with the media and reported on the condition of Matvienko, who, according to him, received adequate medical care.

At the beginning of the second Chechen campaign, in December 1999, Onishchenko made a trip to Chechnya and Ingushetia, as a result of which he stated that there had been no public health care in the region for almost ten years, and since the beginning of the military operation only among the internally displaced persons living in Ingushetia there had been About six thousand diseases have been recorded. In January 2000, Onishchenko headed the headquarters formed by the Russian Ministry of Health to recreate the healthcare system and medical care for the population of Chechnya; was involved in monitoring the expenditure of budget funds. In June 2000, Onishchenko became a member of the federal anti-terrorism commission.

In May 2000, on World No-Smoking Day, Onishchenko adopted a resolution to change the regulation of the distribution of tobacco products, which proposed devoting 25 percent of the front of a cigarette pack to messages about the dangers of smoking, banning the sale of cigarettes in cultural, medical and sports institutions, and also in places located closer than 100 meters from them.

Onishchenko became widely known in the media thanks to the so-called “beer business.” In October 2000, Onishchenko stated in an interview about the need to defend sanitary and epidemiological legislation, for which his department must have qualified lawyers and advocates and have its own legal services. On December 15, 2000, Onishchenko issued a decree “On strengthening state sanitary and epidemiological supervision of brewing products,” in which he ordered local sanitary and epidemiological supervision authorities to check all technical documentation of breweries, and addressed the Ministry of Antimonopoly Policy with a proposal to consider the issue of compliance of beer advertising in electronic media with the law “On advertising" and demanded that beer with a strength of over 1.2 degrees be recognized as an alcoholic drink (later Onishchenko was accused of distributing several versions of the text of this resolution).

At the beginning of January 2001, Onishchenko held a press conference at which he spoke out against the aggressive advertising of alcoholic beverages in the media, which allegedly contributes to the development of teenage “beer alcoholism,” and stated that beer advertising should disappear from television, all types of beer with a strength of more than 6 degrees will be considered equivalent to alcoholic beverages and thus prohibited from sale to teenagers. According to experts, this decision by Onishchenko could cause serious damage to the entire brewing industry, since the share of beer production with a strength above 6 degrees was about 34 percent. In response to this, representatives of the largest Russian brewing companies demanded Onishchenko's resignation, accusing the chief sanitary doctor of Russia of lobbying the interests of vodka producers. Health Minister Shevchenko had to intervene in the conflict, declaring that issues of advertising and alcohol policy were beyond the competence of the sanitary and epidemiological inspection. In March 2001, Onishchenko revoked his resolution. True, subsequently, first, the brewing companies themselves created the “Code of Honor of the Russian Brewer,” which contained a number of restrictions on beer advertising, and then legislators adopted a number of amendments to the law “On Advertising,” limiting beer advertising on television and radio.

In August 2002, Onishchenko was appointed coordinator from the Russian Federation for the implementation of the program of urgent measures of the CIS member states to counter the HIV/AIDS epidemic: previously, he had repeatedly stated about the growing threat of HIV infection.

In 2003, Onishchenko again began to appear frequently in media reports in connection with the threat of atypical pneumonia, or SARS: specialized courses to combat SARS were opened, a special vaccine was created, and it was planned to open special laboratories for diagnosing atypical pneumonia in 70 constituent entities of the Russian Federation. As part of the fight against a possible SARS epidemic, he even attended the G8 summit in Evian. At the same time, Onishchenko admitted that Russia was spared the epidemic (only one case was recorded - in Blagoveshchensk), the disease itself turned out to be treatable, but the State Sanitary and Epidemiological Service was able to equip infectious disease diagnostics laboratories with the necessary drugs.

In March 2004, after the dissolution of the cabinet of Mikhail Kasyanov and the formation of a new government headed by Mikhail Fradkov, Onishchenko was appointed head of the Federal Service for Surveillance in the Sphere of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Welfare, or Rospotrebnadzor, subordinate to the new Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation led by Mikhail Zurabov. The new service was vested with the functions of three ministries at once: for control and supervision in the field of sanitary and epidemiological supervision of the abolished Ministry of Health of Russia, in the field of consumer protection of the abolished Ministry of Antimonopoly Policy and Entrepreneurship Support of the Russian Federation, and in the field of supervision in the consumer market of the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade RF. According to Onishchenko, the new service was endowed with both punitive and preventive-organizational functions: in particular, functions for the prevention of infectious diseases, mass food poisoning, somatic diseases associated with the environment, in addition, it was planned to monitor scientific research, an example of which was introduction of a moratorium on cloning.

Onishchenko again attracted media attention when, starting in 2004, he began regularly reporting on the impending avian influenza (H5N1) pandemic. In March 2006, Onishchenko became a member of the operational headquarters for coordinating measures to prevent the spread of bird flu in the Russian Federation. According to his calculations, 45-50 million Russians are likely to suffer from this disease (out of 190 cases registered worldwide in 2006, 107 cases were fatal). To counter the threat, bird hunting was banned in the spring of 2006. According to Onishchenko, creating a stock of antibiotics to combat complications after an illness will require 10 billion rubles.

In the spring of 2006, Onishchenko banned the supply of Georgian and Moldovan wine to Russia, and then Georgian mineral water due to non-compliance with Russian quality standards: pesticides and high iron content were found in the wine, and mineral water did not meet the declared indicators of mineralization, ionic composition and hardness , . The withdrawal of wine and water from sale began. According to experts, Rospotrebnadzor has become a political instrument, and Onishchenko a political player: Russia, solving foreign policy problems, declared a trade war between Georgia and Moldova, the main weapon in which was the technology of selective enforcement, when proper control of quality standards may or may not be carried out at the request of the Kremlin. According to some reports, this decision dealt a significant blow to the economies of two small post-Soviet states. The supply of Moldovan wine resumed only in October 2007, after several Moldovan wineries managed to obtain certification in Russia.

Onishchenko was mentioned in the media in connection with the poisoning of 198 people on March 1, 2007 at the “IQ-Ball” reception for students organized by the Governor of the Krasnoyarsk Territory Alexander Khloponin. Those who were poisoned were hospitalized in regional hospitals with suspected salmonellosis. Subsequently, this diagnosis was confirmed in 143 people. On March 3, the prosecutor opened a criminal case into the incident. On March 5, Onishchenko announced the need, due to the special danger of infection, to interview, and, if necessary, examine and hospitalize all students who attended the reception (about one and a half thousand people were invited to the ball by Khloponin). On the same day, Rospotrebnadzor disseminated information that the Caterrier company, which supplied food for the student reception, did not have a sanitary and epidemiological permit for this.

In December 2008, Onishchenko called for an active fight against tobacco smoking. In particular, he proposed banning smoking on the streets and in other places, as well as stopping the production and sale of tobacco. Onishchenko opposed the anti-tobacco campaign being sponsored by tobacco manufacturers, as some of the deputies proposed State Duma. Onishchenko also tried to achieve the closure of the British American Tobacco-Java OJSC (BAT-Java) factory due to non-compliance with environmental standards. Also in his lawsuit, he tried to get BAT-Java to ban the name “light” and “superlight” cigarettes, since they mislead the consumer and are no less harmful to health than regular cigarettes. However, the court rejected this claim.

In May 2009, speaking at the XIII World Russian People's Council in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow, Onishchenko called for stopping the “alcoholization of the population,” banning beer advertising and changing the legislation according to which this drink is not included in the list of alcoholic beverages.

In the spring of 2009, due to the threat of a pandemic of H1N1 influenza, also known as swine flu, Onishchenko urged Russian citizens to avoid traveling to Mexico, the United States, Japan, Canada and Spain, where the majority of cases of infection with this variant of the virus were recorded. In total, by mid-May, more than 11 thousand people had been ill with it, of whom 90 died. On May 21, 2009, Onishchenko said that the H1N1 flu would enter Russia no earlier than the fall of that year, but the very next day the first case of H1N1 was detected in an air passenger who arrived in Moscow from the United States by plane. At the end of July 2009, Onishchenko, due to cases of H1N1 infection in the UK, banned children's groups from traveling to this country, and then proposed a complete ban on children's groups traveling outside of Russia.

In the summer of 2009, Onishchenko became involved in a scandal that the media called the “milk war” when Rospotrebnadzor banned the supply of Belarusian milk to Russia. Onishchenko explained this by the introduction of new technical regulations for the preparation of documentation for dairy products, the requirements of which Belarusian producers were not prepared for. Then the press started talking about a trade war between Russia and Belarus: according to experts, the ban on the import of Belarusian milk in Russia should have cost the Belarusian budget one billion dollars. In response to the actions of the Russian side, Belarus announced on June 17, 2009 the introduction of enhanced customs controls on the border with Russia, but on the same day it was canceled as the parties agreed on a compromise. Belarus was allowed to supply 131 types of dairy products out of 600 prohibited to Russia. After the conflict was resolved, the media began to discuss the reasons for what happened. According to a statement by Vladimir Putin, who served as Prime Minister at that time Russian government, the “milk war” occurred due to the Belarusian side exceeding export quotas by 40 percent, but according to other sources, its real reason was that Belarus refused to sell 12 of its dairies to Russia.
