Struggle in Russia

Although Li Xiao thinks Vishniak is weird and doesn't like his perverted appearance, but he helped solve the big trouble after all, and he should be grateful both emotionally and rationally. Besides, Li Xiao is not an ungrateful person, so on this evening, he hosted Vishniak and Boris at the only restaurant in the town.

Boris expressed his satisfaction, especially when he saw a pot of stew and a large bottle of vodka on the dining table, he was so happy that he could see the back teeth.

As for Vishniak, he was not so happy, even a little depressed. He probably still wanted to score twice or a hat-trick with that beauty. To him, eating is far less attractive than beauties.

He feebly poked the steak on the dinner plate with a fork, looked at Boris who was eating so much and said, "Idiot, you are still so good at eating!"

Boris took a big sip of vodka, held up the steak and chewed while saying, "It's a blessing to be able to eat. If you don't eat enough, you won't have the strength to fight!"

Vishniak said speechlessly: "There is no battle to fight now!"

"Then you have to be prepared to fight!" Boris replied with a serious face, "I want to revive my family and become a general!"

Vishniak shook his head and sighed, "Then you will have a hard time in the future."

Boris still doesn't understand why, but Li Xiao understands it. For those who want to make a difference, the 748 regiment is really a grave. Let alone at that time, it would be considered lucky to make contributions and not give away the head in the chaos.

If you don't have so much ambition and ambition like Vishniak, then it will be easier and more enjoyable to hang out in the 748 group. But this kind of life is not what Li Xiao wants. Although he doesn't have great ambitions, he doesn't want to be a muddleheaded rice bug either.

That's why Li Xiao is a little strange. Judging from his contact with Vishniak, this person doesn't look like a prostitute or a pervert. How about aggressive? Li Xiao is really curious!

"I have to live through sadness, I won't give up!" Boris said, patting his chest, "Vishka, you were not like this before! I remember you said before that you want to make a big career and let your mother live Have a good day, let those who look down on you regret it, and forget about it now!"

Facing Boris' questioning, Vishniak didn't say a word, just quietly rubbing the wine glass in his hand in a daze, and after a long time he sighed slightly and drank the wine in the glass, and then, a glass, two One cup, three cups... In a short while, I drank most of the bottle of vodka.

This posture doesn't look like drinking, but drinking water. It is obvious that Vishniak also has suffering and stories. No one wants to be willing to degenerate, they are probably just bent over by the pressure of life.

Li Xiao really wanted to hear Vishniak's story and see why this melancholy handsome guy was so decadent. But he obviously didn't want to say it. For the next time, he just buried his head in drinking without saying a word, and couldn't persuade him until he was very drunk.

After sending Vishniak back to his residence, Li Xiao asked Boris, "Hey, Boria, what's bothering you little boy?"

Glancing at Vishniak, who was drunk and talking nonsense, Boris sighed: "Your Excellency, I..."

Li Xiao interrupted him: "I said before, we are friends, don't call me Grand Duke, call me Andre."

Boris nodded and said, "Okay, Veshka actually came from a very bitter background..."

As Boris explained, Li Xiao realized how bizarre Vishniak's life experience was: he was actually an illegitimate son, and his father was a prominent nobleman, whose famous name even made Li Xiao famous——Sergey Xie Count Minovich Uvarov!

What is the identity of this Uvarov? Officially, he is the Minister of National Education of Russia,

Responsible for the education of the entire Tsarist Russia. Please note that this official position does not fully demonstrate his prominent status, because he is still the literary gallant of Tsar Nicholas I!

The three principles of "Orthodox Church, autocratic system, and people's nature" that Nicholas I most admired and regarded as the standard were created by the literati Uvarov. It can be said that Uvarov is the helm of Czarist Russia in the ideological field. In order to cater to the needs of Nicholas I's rule, he concocted countless "authoritarian theories" and persecuted people including Pushkin, Dostoevsky A large number of progressive writers, including , Gogol and Turgenev, are simply the cultural shackles of the tsarist autocracy.

In the words of later generations, this is an out-and-out reactionary, the most rigid and conservative diehard. For Uvarov, the tsarist autocracy and serfdom in Russia are iron laws handed down from the ancestors, which cannot be tampered with or slandered, and must be persisted to the end.

Such a feudal and conservative diehard would definitely not have any paternal love for an illegitimate child like Vishniak. In particular, Vishniak's mother was only a serf of the Uvarov family, and her status was very lowly. Uvarov, who strictly abided by the boundaries of nobles and commoners, did not allow outsiders to know that he had a relationship with a lowly female serf. So Vishniak's mother was driven far away by Uvarov to the outskirts of Moscow shortly after she became pregnant, not to mention fending for herself, at least she ignored it.

After Vishniak was born, he naturally did not deserve the noble surname Uvarov, so he could only follow his mother's surname Pogorovsky. Afterwards, he grew up slowly like an ordinary illegitimate illegitimate child who was not loved, but Vishniak was very smart and easy to learn, and he had achieved some results through his own efforts. It's just that there is always a thorn in his heart. He wants to prove himself to Uvarov, to prove that his illegitimate son is not worse than his real son, on the contrary, he is better than them. He hoped to use this to slap that scumbag in the face severely, and express his anger for himself and his mother.

"As for why he became like this," Boris glanced at the drunk Vishniak again, and sighed, "I don't know the reason, but Vishka was really not like this before. Diligent, hardworking, and motivated!"

Li Xiao nodded, obviously there is a story here, Vishniak may have suffered a major blow, and that's why he was devastated. And this is also normal. Russia, which advocates the "three principles" of autocracy, attaches great importance to birth, and the descendants of the serf class have almost no way to rise. No matter how good or outstanding it is, it is useless. Naturally, it is necessary to bow down and give way to those high-ranking nobles. And this is also the most serious disease in Russia, and sooner or later it will erupt like a volcano. The current experience of Vishniak is just a microcosm of the miserable lives of thousands of outstanding serf descendants.
