T Reath and the final film of the series about Gogol's adventures, in those times when he was not yet famous. In this series, everything will be decided, and the identity of the Dark Rider, and the real goal of Guro. We are waiting for both funeral and death. Not to mention what will be as strange and interesting. We rarely write about Russian films, but this presence of viewing.

Immediately after the events of the previous film Nikolai Gogol, allegedly deceased, buried near the dikanka. Having been underground, Gogol sees the ghost of his father: By concluding a contract with a mysterious Mister without a nose, Vasily Gogol went forever in hell, and Nikolay said a stranger: "Live, dark!".

Only one Cossack is returned from all the troops, saying that the Poles broke them, the Ataman was killed, and soon they would attack. The daughters of Ataman, Lisa and Maria, turn to the sorcerer-hermit, and she says that the Polish sorcerer can overcome, putting on him a conspiracy hoop: then Casimir is lost its strength and will become mortal, but the price for his murder will be terrible. Nevertheless, Lisa and Maria, Introducing the Casimir Tent, capture him and take away to go to court. On the way, Kazimir says that his curse ends only when he is loved by someone, and asks Mary to let him go away: if she reciprocates him, he will be able to renounce the witchcraft and become a man. Lisa decides to finish the sorcerer in place, and comes with Maria into battle, while she does not fall, stuck in the abyss. In the anger, the decapitation of Kazimir, Lisa itself turns out to be under the same curse: every thirty years sacrificed twelve girls and one risen, not knowing death, until she is lying. Maria also meets a fiery voice, velary to go back: if I kill my sister, he will be able to live, and until then he will wander in the appearance of the old woman.

In the present time, Guro shines Lisa to the same conspiracy hoop, and during the interrogation it is confessed that it is not going to betray it to the court: on the task of a secret society, he must deliver an immortal rider to St. Petersburg, so that he shared the secret of eternal life with the Russian Empire. In case of refusal, it threatens to kill Gogol. Having overheard the conversation, Nikolai and Binh rushes to stop Jacob Petrovich, and binh, so as not to give him to make a conceived, shoots in Lisa. Having heard from her that Nikolai himself was to become the thirteenth victim, but from the love for him Lisa spared him and he killed Oksana instead - also the rideway - Gogol takes off the enorted hoop, and Lisa again becomes an immortal rider.

Soon Ivan brought Pasha and received a reward. He immediately divided her with his brother, but Petro looked at Ivan's malice. When relatives passed by a deeply abyss, Petro collided his brother down with her horse and a little son, who was driving in his saddle. So he seized all wealth.

God invited Ivan to appoint Karu's brother. Ivan asked none of the descendants of Peter was happy. To live in the greatest sinners, and after death suffered terrible flour.

The "terrible revenge" is a mystical story that entered the collection "Evening on the farm near Dikanka." The product dates back to 1831. Initially, it was called "terrible revenge, an old day,", but in subsequent editions, part of the name was abolished.

In the story, the Ukrainian life, customs, Zaporizhia Cossacks are described. The story is replete with images from Ukrainian folklore. With reading, it becomes obvious the influence of folk songs, parables and dum.

The Cossack is coming to the wedding of the Son of Esuula Gorobash - Danilo Burulbash with the young wife Katerina and a one-year-old son. The celebration was quite usually, but as soon as the Father made an icon to bless the newlyweds, one of the guests suddenly turned around the monster and escaped, frightened by images.

After this incident, the Father of Katerina suddenly declare, missing many years ago. Katerina is beginning to torment nightmares about the sorcerer, who escaped from the wedding, and there is her father. In dreams, he asks her daughter to give up her husband and love him. With his strange behavior, the father only confirms her fears: he does not eat anything and does not drink, except for some liquid from the bottle that wears with you. Cossacks because of this, too, begin to suspect something wrong.

At this time, sinister phenomena occur: the dead were the dead from the graves on the old cemetery, which spoke of terrible flour.

Exposure of the sorcerer, Danil's death and madness of Katerina

There was a quarrel between Danil and the test, which led to a fight, but Katerina managed to river her husband with his father. But Danilo still did not trust the strange test and decided to trace him. And not in vain. Once at night, the Cossack noticed that in an abandoned castle, which was all worried, light up the light in one of the windows. He went to the castle and saw through the window as a sorcerer, wrapped the monster, caused Katerina's soul and demanded that she would love him. But the soul was adamant.

Danilo grabbed the test and sharpened behind the bars fortified by the prayers of the priest so that any witchcraft in this dungeon was powerless. However, the sorcerer, playing on the feelings of his daughter and promising that he would hold stands into the monks, persuaded her to release it. Danilo does not recognize who freed the prisoner, and Katerina is experiencing strong experiences because of his act.

Meanwhile, the news came about the attack of Lyakhov on the farm. Danilo, volunteered by the forebrocerance of the ambulance, went to battle, Vella wife take care of the Son.

Intuition did not deceive the Cossack. In the field of Brahi Danilo suddenly noticed in the ranks of his father's opponent. Deciding to deal with the sorcerer, Danilo rushed to him, but the sorcerer killed the son-in-law with an exact shot.

Katerina, having received the news of the death of her husband, began to see nightmares again. In dreams she was a father demanding to become his wife. In case of refusal, he threatened to kill her one year old son. Esaul Gorobets took the widow to his house, worked for his people to guard her and a child from the sorcerer. But one day at night, Katerina jumped out of bed with shouts: "He's slaughtered!" Going into the room, she really saw a dead baby in a crib.

It is not able to cope with the grief from the loss of a husband and a son, Katerina lost the reason: dismissed braids, sang and danced the half-range among the street. Soon she secretly escaped from Eaaul home, on the farm.

After some time a man arrived on the farm. He told that he fought side by side with Danila and was his best friend. The man also stated that he was given his last will before his death: he asked his friend to take him widow in his wife.

Then Katerina realized that this Cossack was not at all her late husband. She recognized the hated sorcerer and rushed to him with a knife. But he grabbed his weapon from his daughter's hands and stabbed her, after which he escaped from the farm.

In our new article we prepared for you a brief content of Gogol "Taras". This great work is permeated with the spirit of heroism and respect for the great soldiers of the Zaporizhzhya Schash.

We invite you to familiarize yourself with the truthful comedy of Gogol "Auditor", where the author drew a picture of universal fraud, bribery and arbitrariness of Russia, images of communions and bribes who became the heroes of his play.

After that, a strange phenomenon appeared near Kiev: suddenly the Carpathians were visible. On the mountain road, Katerina's father rushed on the horse, trying to leave the rider with closed eyes. The sorcerer discovered the cave in which the Schermnik lived (monk-rejection). The killer appealed to him with a request to let him go. However, the Skimnik refused, because sins were too grave. Then the sorcerer killed a spiker and again went into the run, but whatever he would drive, any led him to the Carpathian mountains and the rider with his eyes closed. Finally, the rider caught the sorcerer and killed.

Then I saw the sorcerer, how the dead began to appear around with faces like his own. And they began to nibble his flesh.

Union: Bandurist Song

The reasons for the whole occurrence are clear from the song of Old Bandurist. He tells the story of two brothers, Peter and Ivan, who lived long before the events described. It becomes clear from this story that the fate of Katerina, her father, her husband and son was long been predicted.

One day, the King Stepan promised a generous remuneration to someone who can catch Pasha, who could cut the entire regiment with one to dozen Yanychar. The brothers decided to take up this mission. Ivan smiled good luck, and he received a reward, but from generosity decided to give his brother half. However, the pride of Peter was still to be bored, because of what he was removed to take revenge on his brother. When they rode the land donated by Stepan, Petro dropped Ivan from the cliff with the child, whom he was driving. Ivan clinched for the bitches during the fall and began to pray to spare at least the Son, but the brother threw them into the abyss.

When Ivan after death appeared before God, he asked the terrible fate for Peter and his descendants: none of them would be happy, and the last of the kind of brother would become such a monster, which light did not see. After death, his flesh will be born ancestors for the whole eternity. Petro himself will lie in the ground, too, breaking the descendant, but will not be able to get up, from which the own flesh will be nibble and experience terrible flour.
