Teacher's word.

There is some mystery in life. Between the first breath and the last exhalation is the whole Universe with its galaxies and planets, continents and islands. Man is allowed a short but difficult path on earth. Everyone has to follow this path of fate. The main thing is to pass it with dignity, so as not to regret anything. There are such concepts with which each of us lives, they make up his inner world.

What do you think these concepts are?

  • Conscience
  • Honour
  • Dignity

They are the criterion by which others judge and by which a person judges himself.

The soul acts as the defendant and prosecutor. If it hurts, then the soul is alive.

Many poems have been written about the soul.

Listen to a poem by Andrey Dementiev, think about what a soul is.

Student reading.

Andrey Dementiev.

Of all the discoveries, the most expensive
The discovery of a friend, his soul.
And you and I, like two passers-by,
Almost all my life we ​​have been going to this meeting.

And our friendship
Like an ancient city
What does the earth hide in its depths?
I open your spaces
goodness and light...
Congratulate me.

I open your sorrows
Your delights in yourself
So that two souls
Two fates sounded
Like two flowers on the same stem.

And if the service finishes us,
Will dry up the pain
Ile will bring down the wine, -
Our friendship will be a donor to us.
We have the same blood group.

What is the calling of man on earth?

What is spirituality? Moral?

Students' opinions.

Teacher's word. Message about the topic and purpose of the lesson.

You are already familiar with the life and work of compatriot writers I.P. Yagan and V.F. Potanin. Love for the native land, nature, people is what unites them.

In their works, they draw attention to the actual and eternal problems of spirituality and morality, arguing that conscientiousness, truth, love, compassion are important properties of the human soul, enduring values. Absorbed in childhood becomes the truth, concrete and visible, like "earth" and "bread". For the authors, it doesn’t matter where and when the action takes place, what matters is what actions the characters do, what they feel, what makes them happy.

These are works about the fate and inner world of a person, a moral attitude to life, about the choice of the main thing that awaits everyone in the end - Eternity or Emptiness. According to V. M. Shukshin, "morality is truth."

Were you interested in preparing for the lesson?

What are your first impressions of reading the novels?

  • In the story "Dawns over Baidanovka" there is a lot of happiness, love, joy in memories of childhood, family...
  • I was shocked by the discrepancy between my impression of the “warm” title of the story and the feeling that the “daughter” aroused: indignation, even contempt ...
  • I think that the problem of fathers and children is far-fetched. And adults do not always understand each other. There are problems of mutual understanding, spiritual communication, love, mercy and indifference. Much depends on the people themselves. It is important not only to learn to take, but also to give...
  • It is difficult to understand the daughter of Nikolai Petrovich (the story "Daughter"). She is my age. But we are from different planets where people and animals live.
  • Friends are the people you trust the way you trust yourself. Betrayal causes contempt and resentment.

"Happiness is when you are understood," one of the heroes of the film "We'll Live Until Monday" wrote in his essay.

Do you agree?

The connection between generations will not be interrupted if we do not forget about those who are no longer there. They live in our memory.

And what does childhood mean for every person?

Students' reflections.

  • Childhood is the beginning of spiritual life, tempering of character
  • Understanding the family as a home living a common life
  • Harmony of the soul with the outside world

Teacher's word.

Each person should have their own world, which, without a family, warm relationships, love, caring for each other, loses its meaning.

2008 was declared the year of the Family by the President. And this suggests that the Family, the basis of life, makes each of us stronger, more confident, helps to distinguish between good and evil, to make an important moral choice.

The story of V.F. Potanin "Daughter".

Interviews with students.

What is the mood of the story?

The 90s - the destruction of the value system. Cruelty, cynicism, lack of spirituality filled the spiritual vacuum.

How are the stories of V. Potanin and I Yagan similar and different?

The spiritual unity of the characters with their parents, surrounding people, nature. Events take place at different times. The story of I.P. Yagan is a recollection of the military and post-war childhood, and the story "Daughter" by V.P. Potanin shows the events of the 90s.

  • The story "Daughter" is a monologue of the hero.
  • His conflict with himself.
  • Frequent return to childhood (mentally), the past.

Childhood is the happiest time.

  • A memory of a Christmas tree, carrot tea, which was tastier than anything. And waiting for the return of the father and uncle from the war.
  • For them, there were two empty cups on the table - the hope that they would be alive.
  • Childhood is a feeling of mother's care, a desire to help her.

Creation of a problem situation.

Why did the destruction of a strong circle occur - a family in which there was a beloved wife and adored daughter Lenochka? Why did his recent happiness begin to seem illusory to the hero?

Understanding the text. Search work.

Brief entry.

  • Time influenced when clothes, money, cosmetics became for Lenochka a criterion for assessing social and personal.
  • For the entire salary, they bought a golden ring for their daughter.
  • Lenochka's father bought a tape recorder with his last savings.
  • Grandmother is annoying - she can't hear well, she has a handkerchief tied up in a "collective-farm" way, her hands are dark and swollen all the time.
  • She threw a kitten into the snow, which was tired of meowing.
  • For Lenochka, her classmate Olya and Sasha's friend, the soul is chatter and demagogy. A person has only business.
  • According to student Sasha, if there is a case, the body, the soul is not needed.
  • Lenochka gives a ring, a gift from her father, to a friend, because does not appreciate this gift.
  • When Olya gets to the hospital, Lenochka does not think about her, but about how best to remove the ring from her finger.
  • She despises parents who do not know how to live, in her opinion.
  • Nikolai Petrovich, a tolerant and gentle person, is not able to accept this act, which is a betrayal of his girlfriend, his whole life dedicated to his daughter.

Why did Lenochka turn from a cute child into a monster?

Who is to blame for this: coincidence, time, man?

Reflections of students.

  • Selfishness.
  • The inability to love and care for others.
  • The habit of taking but not giving.
  • Indifference and disrespect to relatives.
  • Things are the criteria for evaluating people.

How do you understand the words of the hero of the story "Daughter", Nikolai Petrovich: "What will happen to me tomorrow? And after tomorrow? And in a year? .. Will I really live for another whole year?"

He is ready to survive the betrayal of his daughter, believes in her growing up.

No matter how hard it is, life goes on. And again the sun rises, and again the day comes, calling on the road. And this makes sense: a person lives by overcoming hardships and suffering. Overcomes himself.

Summing up the lesson.

Reflecting on the pages of V.F. Potanin and I.P. Yagan, we are convinced that a person's happiness is a combination of work, the joy of love, the work of the soul. Without spirituality there can be no personality.

The works of Potanin and Yagan are moral lessons. Reading helps to understand the depth of the author's intention. A growing person needs to comprehend the purpose of life, the role of the family. The works help in this, affirming morality, spirituality, conscientiousness, truth - something that has always been inherent in the Russian people.

The ex-wife of Vladimir Potanin again gave a revealing interview: she spoke about life before and after her divorce from the oligarch

The former wife of oligarch Vladimir Potanin, Natalya, gave an interview to the glossy Tatler, talking about her relationship with her husband before and after the divorce, and also showed reporters a house in the village of Nemchinovo on Skolkovo Highway. Natalya, her 95-year-old mother, 16-year-old son Vasily, 26-year-old son Ivan, his wife Yana and their three-year-old baby Andryusha now live in this house, which formally belongs to a company controlled by the oligarch.

The Potanin family built this house in 1993 next to Mikhail Prokhorov's plot. On the first floor of the mansion, opposite each other, hang two portraits by the elegant Shilov - daughter Anastasia and eldest son Ivan. Family photos are everywhere - weddings, vacations, christenings, birthdays and other events that make up the annals of any equally happy family.

The last time the Potanins spoke was in November 2013, when Vladimir, as if nothing had happened, after drinking tea, stunned his wife with a divorce message. Since then, they have communicated exclusively through lawyers. Then, having announced his desire to get a divorce, Potanin suggested that his wife sign papers that there should be no material claims on her part.

“I was promised medical care and security. It's all. The offer was humiliating. Even the house, which was conceived as a family house and which was built by the whole family, Vladimir demands to be vacated urgently. But I did not accept his offer for another reason. Vladimir's words did not guarantee anything to our children. Time has confirmed that I was right: since December 2013, the father has never called even his youngest son. But he is actively discussing the issue of Vasya's alimony in the courts, ”says Natalya.

Natalya said that the youngest son found out about his parents' divorce from the Internet in December 2013. Excited, Vasily immediately called his father, but at the other end of the wire a dry voice was heard: "Don't call again." My son spent his sixteenth birthday clutching his phone. However, the father did not call and did not even give a gift for his son. “Is it worth mentioning that the children did not go to the Sochi Olympics, which Vasya so dreamed of. But the Olympics took place largely thanks to the energy and money of the head of Interros, the newspaper notes.

Natalia Potanina. 1977

According to Tatler, after the divorce, Vladimir Potanin stopped communicating with his eldest son. Before the divorce of his parents, Ivan, a graduate of the MGIMO master's program, lived with his family in New York, worked at AltPoint, a company owned by his father. He served as a junior analyst - his father wanted him to go through all the rungs of the career ladder. However, after the first attempt to stand up for his mother, a promising analyst was sent an email about his dismissal and his work visa was revoked. After that, communication ceased: Potanin Sr. did not respond to the letters of his son.

“Recently, I tried to wish him a happy birthday, but it didn’t work out. The phone is locked. Security numbers have changed. Probably, you can sign up through the reception,” Ivan jokes.

Now he works for the financial company LR Global, responsible for the Eastern European markets. With his wife Yana (the couple met at school), they lead a modest life by metropolitan standards, preferring home comfort to parties.

1977

“It seems to me that the tragedy in our relationship with Vladimir rallied Ivan and Yana. The son is still so young, I would not want him to completely immerse himself in my problems. For me, Vova's statement about his desire to get a divorce was shocking, but nothing more. It was harder to see how the children were going through the gap, - says Natalia. - It is obvious that I and our children are enemies for Volodya. Property and funds in the accounts can be divided indefinitely. Hide in offshore and trusts. Prove something to each other. But when the child grows up, he needs the attention of his father. A teenager should not be asked to wait and not grow until dad and mom solve their problems. And it hurts a lot."

The new wife of Vladimir Potanin - Ekaterina, whom he now introduces to everyone as his former employee, Natalia saw earlier. So, in 2011, the girl Katya was at the New Year's party at the Potanin residence in Luzhki. Among the many girls who were invited to delight the eyes of business mastodons, there was a certain Katya. Beauties came and went, but Katya steadfastly took part in all the amusements.

Potanin's wedding. 1983

In the autumn of 2014, Vladimir Potanin came arm in arm with his new wife to a reception in honor of the 250th anniversary of the Hermitage. In her, Natalia, not without surprise, recognized the same Katya. The oligarch introduced the 38-year-old blonde in a black lace dress to the curious press as his former employee.

Three and a half years ago, Catherine gave birth to Potanin's daughter, and in the summer of 2014, a son.

One of the first family trips. Tenerife, 1993

Natalia did not know about Potanin's illegitimate daughter: “I trusted him unconditionally. All these years he was for me the main protection from all adversity and problems. What began to happen to him after the divorce - his cruelty, unjustified self-confidence - open my ex-husband to me from the other side. This is no longer the Volodya whom I fell in love with and with whom I spent the best 30 years of my life. He positioned himself as a faithful family man, preached family values ​​and loudly condemned divorce. But he turned out to be a banal womanizer who has not only affairs on the side, but also an illegitimate child.

1995

For many, it was a shock that Potanin, instead of calmly dispersing and providing for his ex-wife and children, preferred to make a scandal. “Our family had enough money to respectfully disperse without creating problems and without bringing them up for public discussion,” Potanina agrees. - But Vladimir, for some unknown reason, decided that he had the right to manage the family budget as he pleased. For some reason, lately, rich husbands themselves decide what and how much of the generosity of the soul to allocate to bored wives when new fighting girlfriends appear. After all, Russia has a law. This law prescribes the division of the property of the spouses acquired in marriage in half. But for the law to work, you need to find all the assets that husbands usually take to the minimum tax zones.

year 2009

It is worth noting that now Vladimir Potanin officially owns nothing. So, values ​​​​like a thirty percent stake in Norilsk Nickel, half of SUP Media, ProfEstate, Interport, Petrovax Pharma, Rosa Khutor, the Luzhka residence in Novaya Riga, three Gulfstream aircraft, yachts " Anastasia "and" Nirvana "(it was planned to be called" Natalia "), as well as the new yacht officially recorded on structures that do not belong to Potanin.

2010

“I never went into the details of ownership patterns. This is what I'm trying to figure out right now. As my lawyers explained to me, Vladimir Olegovich actually created a multi-stage structure of nominee companies that divert money through multi-level layers to trust and offshore companies in various tax-free jurisdictions. Thus, Vladimir “hid” family property and huge sums from me and the Russian courts - both dividends and income received from the sale of assets, - says Natalia. - Love passes. But why, along with love, simple human respect for a woman who gave birth to children, went through all the difficulties of establishing a business with her husband. Who, after all, cooked borscht while he created the Interros empire? There is a boundless feeling of permissiveness, a feeling that you can adjust the laws and judges for yourself. It shouldn't be like that. And I don't want to put up with it. The law is the same for everyone: Potanin, Ivanov or Sidorov.

Natalia Potanina hopes that her ex-husband will sit down at the negotiating table. “I hope for common sense, for the remnants of conscience. In the meantime, I stand alone on the platform, waiting for a train called "The Honor and Dignity of Vladimir Potanin." Although the light on this platform has long gone out,” the woman notes.

The personal life of billionaire Vladimir Potanin has long been the main topic at all secular parties, and this is not surprising - not having time to finish the high-profile divorce proceedings with his ex-wife Natalya, 53-year-old Vladimir Potanin again tied the knot.

The chosen one of the billionaire was his 39-year-old subordinate named Ekaterina. With a blonde lover, a 53-year-old businessman came to the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the Hermitage in St. Petersburg.

Vladimir Potanin with his new wife, photo: why did he divorce the first, who is the second wife, children?

With a new lover, the businessman came to the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, where the whole world of Russian culture gathered. The newlyweds posed for photographers, not hiding their happy smiles.

39-year-old Ekaterina, who did not hide her happy smile all evening, appeared before the public in a long elegant dress with black lace. The entrepreneur himself tried not to draw attention to himself, and while the guests of the event were at a concert dedicated to the 250th anniversary of the Hermitage, he, in the company of his beautiful wife, went to enjoy art.

We will remind, billionaire Vladimir Potanin again tied the knot after a divorce from his wife Natalia. The chosen one of the entrepreneur was his subordinate. The billionaire took his new lover to the altar in the summer, and after that the newlyweds spent their honeymoon on the Cote d'Azur, at the legendary Du Cap Eden Roc Hotel. Recall that the litigation between Potanin and his ex-wife Natalya continued for quite a long time, but she lost some of them.

Vladimir Potanin is the richest man in Russia, the owner of the assets of several large companies and the leader of the Russian Forbes list.

Until recently, he was also considered an excellent husband and family man, and his marriage to Natalia, which lasted more than thirty years, was distinguished by its strength and prosperity and was an example for all those windy oligarchs who changed their chosen ones like gloves, but, apparently, did not grow together …

Vladimir's ex-wife, Natalya Potanina, changed her maiden name to her husband's last name back in 83. In 77, having met at a party with friends, the young schoolgirl Natasha Varlamova and her classmate Vova Potanin could not even predict that the spark of feelings that slipped between them could spin their relationship so tightly that they would last as long as 37 years.

They studied together at a Moscow school and met, spending time after school in each other's arms. Their love only grew stronger while studying at universities - he is at MGIMO, she is at the Moscow Institute of Transport Engineers. When Natalya and Vladimir got married in their fourth year, everyone around - from parents to close friends - were sure that the family happiness of the young Potanin family would be "until death separates them."

In 2011, the Potanins celebrated the New Year in the newly built Luzhki residence. It was there that Vladimir met Katya, his future second chosen one, for the sake of which he decided to change his already established family life forever.

The spectacular tall and slender blonde Ekaterina, with her beauty and vigor, firmly hooked the businessman Potanin. She was one of dozens of specialists in one of his companies invited to Luzhki that evening to entertain guests of a high circle - oligarchs and business sharks. It was then that Vladimir noticed Catherine.

He was not at all embarrassed that Catherine was 14 years younger. She was not embarrassed by the fact that Vladimir had a wife and three children. Their romance flared up with a flame, at first hidden from everyone, but then grew into more after a few years.

In December 2013, Natalya found out that her husband was filing for divorce. He himself told her about it at a family dinner. Later, she became aware that Ekaterina had a three-year-old daughter from Potanin, and they had met since that New Year's Eve in Luzhki.

A long and full of scandals divorce proceedings began. Vladimir finally destroyed all ties with the old family for the sake of the new one.

In 2015, the court divided the property of the former spouses. Natalia Potanina received three plots of land, a summer house in the village of Vlasievo in New Moscow and a house in the village of Ubory on Rublevka, as well as monetary compensation in the amount of half the cost of an apartment in Skatertny Lane in Moscow.

The court also ordered the Russian billionaire to pay alimony in the amount of a quarter of his earnings for the maintenance of his youngest minor son. The ex-wife also wanted to sue Potanin's stakes in Interros and Norilsk Nickel, but lost the dispute in all court instances, including the Supreme Court.

Already in the summer of 2014, just a few months after her divorce from Natalya, a new place next to businessman Potanin was taken by Ekaterina, who by that time had given birth to another son.

They spent their honeymoon on the French Riviera. About the 39-year-old second wife of Vladimir, the press wrote that she was a person of broad views and that this marriage was a profitable match for both of them.

Ekaterina, who loves long black dresses, complements her husband well wherever they go. In the autumn of 2014, during their joint walk around the Hermitage, it finally became clear to everyone that Vladimir and Ekaterina had discovered a new life for themselves and were not going to leave in the near future. His former employee, and now a faithful wife, has become for a middle-aged businessman the same ticket to a new life.

Of course, in order to create a new family, Ekaterina and Vladimir had to go through a lot: several years of secret relationships, Potanin's scandalous divorce from his ex-wife and testing the relationship for strength by the close attention of the press, but they managed and continue their worldly path further hand in hand .

Billionaire Vladimir Potanin is currently ranked fourth in the Forbes ranking of the richest businessmen. Experts estimated his fortune at $12.1 billion. In 2015, he led the same ranking with 15.4 billion.
