Daughter in 3rd grade, teaches an excerpt from N. Nekrasov's poem (allegedly) "Peasant Children":
Once upon a time in the cold winter time
I went out of the forest; there was a bitter frost.
I look, slowly rises up the hill
A horse carrying brushwood.
And marching importantly, in a calm calm, A little man leads the horse by the bridle
In big boots, in a sheepskin sheepskin coat, In large mittens … and himself with a fingernail!
"Great guy!" - "Go by yourself!" -
Painfully you are formidable, as I can see!
Where do the woods come from? "-" From the forest, no doubt;
Father, do you hear, chops, and I take away."
(A lumberjack's ax was heard in the forest.)
"Does your father have a big family?"
The family is big, but two people
There are only men: my father and I … -
"So that's it! What's your name?" -
"Vlasom." - "Why are you a year old?" - "The sixth passed …
Well, dead! - shouted the baby in a bass voice, He pulled by the bridle and walked faster.
The head analysis turns on automatically: a six-year-old child cannot lead a horse by the bridle:
1. He is small in stature and he will have to keep his hand outstretched all the time, which is impossible in a sheepskin coat (and without him).
2. The step of the horse (especially with a load) is wider than the step of a child and, in order not to get under the hooves and not to get hit by the shafts in the back of the head, he must run in front of the horse, which is impossible in "big boots" and in a "sheepskin coat" and on loose snow …
Or maybe the poet slightly corrected reality for the sake of rhyme, and the peasant leads the horse not by the bridle, but along the side of the sleigh?
But this option is also impossible:
At that time, there were no municipal services and equipment, and no one cleaned the road, which means that it was not a road, but a sled path, on the sides of which there were snowdrifts, along which you cannot walk.
It is also not clear what the poet was doing in the forest during the cold winter season and in severe frost? Did you get inspiration or was drawn to the lumberjacks from the people?
And about the lumberjack himself: you shouldn't have taken a child with you to work in such weather: medicine was only folk medicine …
Wife: "Don't double your child's consciousness! They'll kick her out of school!"

CIA releases declassified Cold War archives
Seventy-two-year-old declassified archival documents have been made public - brief summaries of reports from American intelligence that went to President Harry Truman's desk. A "cold wind of change" is blowing from the typed pages half-blind from time to time - yesterday's allies in the war, the USA and the USSR, having defeated a common enemy, are beginning to move away from each other. And the gap between them is widening
Penula, pileus, udons and caligi or what did the ancient Romans wear in the cold?
The ancient Romans considered pants to be barbaric clothing. It was not customary to wear this. The first images of Roman soldiers in "barbarian" trousers appear only in the 2nd century AD. The same was true for warm robes. And here a reasonable question arises: how, in this case, did the warlike inhabitants of sunny Italy dress in bad weather or during the northern campaigns?
