And bring strawberries here!

Gogol N.V.

Phraseologism: And bring strawberries here!

Meaning: The demand to extradite the guilty (iron.).

Origin: Quote from N. V. Gogol's comedy "The Government Inspector" (1836), d. 1, yavl. 1, the words of the mayor: "And who is the trustee of charitable institutions? - Strawberries. - And bring Strawberries here!"

Random phraseology:

Spreading cranberry.

Meaning:

Fiction, fiction, something devoid of credibility (iron.).

Origin:

From French: "Un kliukva majestueux". Erroneously attributed to the French writer Alexandre Dumas père (1802-1870), who allegedly wrote in his notes about a trip to Russia that he once rested after a tiring journey "in the shade of a spreading cranberry." But A. Dumas has nothing to do with this expression, and in his stories about travels in Russia, as well as in the novel from Russian life "Maitre d" armes ", there are neither these words, nor any other gross distortions of the realities of Russian life in general. In fact, this phrase was born in Russia itself as a parody of the absurd ideas of foreigners about Russia. For the first time, these words sounded in 1910 from the stage of the well-known at the beginning of the 1879th century St. Petersburg theater of parody and satire "Crooked Mirror" (in which and another winged word. See Vampuka.) The theater repertoire included a parody play called "Love of a Russian Cossack. Sensational French drama with murder and expropriation from the life of real Russian farmers in one act with an introduction. A reworking of the famous Russian novel by B. Geyer. Of course, this was not a “French play”, but a parody of it, performed by Boris Fedorovich Geyer (1916-XNUMX). The play depicted some “French playwrights Romain and Latuk”, offering the director French theater drama, the action of which takes place "in the central department of Russia, near St. Muscovy on the banks of the Volga. " The plot is simple: they want to forcibly marry the heroine of the play, the girl Aksenka, to a Cossack, and the girl regrets in advance about the separation from her beloved Ivan, remembering how she sat with him under the "branching boughs of a hundred-year-old cranberry". And so this famous expression was born, which almost instantly became popular in an abbreviated version - "branching cranberry" - as a common noun for all kinds of ridiculous fiction. Numerous comic poems also contributed to the popularity of the expression, imitations, etc., written based on this play.These were parodies of clichés and stilted representations of foreigners about Russia. for example, such "French poems" by a "foreigner" poet: "Sous l" omre d "uri kliukva // Etait assise line devouchka. // Son nora etait Marie, // Mais dans sa froide patrie // On l"appelait Machka". Translation: "In the shade of a cranberry sat a girl whose name was Maria, but in her cold homeland she was called Mashka."

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>
