Jewish spiritual teachers say: "Leprosy (tsaraat) — illness of the soul. Leads to leprosy evil tongue, gossip, wishing harm to people... The only cure for leprosy at all times was repentance, and the treatment was very long. Retribution always came quickly - in the form of isolation from society and shame, because everyone who saw a leper understood that this man had sinned.” (http://www.evrey.com/sitep/nedglav/ar...)

The topic brought to the attention of the reader is not new. But it has no statute of limitations, so it can and should be repeated, repeated, repeated... so that millions of people understand what kind of world we live in.

Gundarov: leprosy has spread to the political elite...

The name of Doctor of Medical Sciences Professor Gundarov thundered eight years ago, when the head of the laboratory of the State Research Center for Preventive Medicine of the Russian Ministry of Health diagnosed President of Ukraine Viktor Yushchenko.

He explained: the incomprehensible “crust” of pockmarks and acne that disfigured the politician’s face is the medieval disease of leprosy. Leprosy, which without treatment causes amputation of arms and legs, and the face changes beyond recognition. Lepers were hung with bells around their necks and driven out of the cities, later locked up for life in leprosariums...

The scandal was forgotten until February of this year, when Yulia Tymoshenko was taken to the revolutionary Maidan. The bright beauty disappeared: in wheelchair sat a woman with a swollen face, on which familiar features were almost invisible...

The audience shuddered, and a joke began to circulate on the Internet: “Yulia Tymoshenko was played on the Maidan by actor Sergei Bezrukov”, - and then Doctor Gundarov came onto the stage again. And said: "I warned you".

Igor Alekseevich, are you sure of the diagnosis? How can you say such things?

I'm one hundred percent sure. With Yushchenko - by one hundred, and with Tymoshenko - by ninety-eight: one can still assume some problems with the blood there... I will say this. I'm a professor twice, it doesn't happen that often. If after publication my colleagues respond and prove that I am wrong, I will tear up both my diplomas in front of everyone.

From the medical history: “On the night of September 5-6, 2004, presidential candidate Viktor Yushchenko has dinner at the dacha of his friend, the deputy chairman of the SBU. In the morning, the politician begins to complain of severe headaches, he vomits, neurologists are invited to the patient. On September 7, Yushchenko’s eyes swell. On September 8, journalists arrive: they note the candidate’s unnaturally pink complexion and unclear diction; Yushchenko himself complains about severe pain in the back, on the 9th, facial paralysis is added to this. The patient is urgently sent to Vienna, to private clinic, where doctors discover total damage to the gastrointestinal tract: multiple ulcers, acute pancreatitis, gastritis, colitis... The skin begins to change, but the skin is not the main thing: Yushchenko has severe back pain. The nature of the pain is unclear, the patient can no longer walk or get out of bed. They numb the pain with opium substances, as after a major operation, thanks to this the politician is conscious."

Later, cysts and ulcers will cover the entire body, they will fester and hurt, the poor politician will have to change three or four shirts a day so that his jacket does not get wet...

One can only admire the courage of Viktor Yushchenko, who in such a state (with a catheter in his back, on drugs) is participating in the election race. And one can only be amazed at the short-sightedness of the Ukrainians, who they elect a rotting man alive president.

I am familiar with leprosy theoretically and practically: I conducted examinations of patients at the Terek leper colony for my candidate’s dissertation “Electrocardiographic changes in patients with long-term leprosy,” sometimes I had difficulty figuring out how to take a cardiogram if an arm or leg was missing... I drove until my wife knocked fist on the table: “I don’t want to get leprosy in twenty years!”- this disease has a long history incubation period...

I immediately guessed what Yushchenko was ill with. Leprosy is a neuroinfection: it lives in the nerve trunks. The affected nerves thicken, and where they pass through the bone canals, the openings become narrow for them, the compression causes severe pain: such that the patient thinks about suicide. Moreover, the leg may hurt, or the arm may hurt, depending on which nerve is damaged. Gastritis, pancreatitis, various paralysis and loss of sensitivity due to leprosy are also classic manifestations, not to mention leprosy on the skin...

All the doctors who treated Yushchenko noted the atypical course of the disease and could not come up with a common reason for such different symptoms. But once you think about leprosy, everything becomes typical. Just like in the textbook.

From the medical history: "Leprosy is caused by Mycobacterium Hansen and is transmitted by conversation. Hundreds of thousands of bacteria swarm around the patient and affect those who come closer than one and a half meters. A person can become infected, but not get sick. Or he can get sick, but after twenty to thirty years, when the fatal meeting will already be erased from memory. All this time, a healthy carrier and a leprosy patient during the incubation period will be spreaders of the infection."

Leprosy has many faces: a person will be treated for five years for a hernia in the spine and not realize that it is leprosy. Or complain about a sore stomach, swallow intestines and porridge - and this will be leprosy again. Leprosy is a great imitator, its symptoms are those of different diseases. For example, the author of this note has a numb hand, and this could be leprosy. Leprosy is invisible: it is not detected in the blood and in half the cases it is not found in the affected tissues. That is, a third of the patients in leper colonies never had leprosy in the tests. Until recently, it seemed that the disease had been defeated: now only six hundred people are kept in leper colonies in Russia. Scientists debate whether leprosy is curable: the disease can be easily treated with drugs, but relapse can occur even after decades. Leprosy doesn't kill: it just makes life miserable.

Igor Alekseevich, actually Yushchenko was diagnosed with dioxin poisoning.

It's not even worth talking about. This is a well-crafted campaign narrative to give the candidate the aura of a martyr. I have a photograph where Viktor Yushchenko, with his face slanted to the right, says from the rostrum of the Rada: “You know who this murderer is. The killer is power! - and from the photo, paralysis of the left facial nerve is clearly diagnosed, which is characteristic of leprosy...

But in order. When information about the poisoning was spread, the Viennese clinic where Yushchenko was treated issued a denial. Doctors said that the poisoning version is not true! Later they changed their minds, but the head physician of the clinic did not. He was fired for refusing to sign a report on Yushchenko’s poisoning, sued the clinic over this issue and was reinstated.

Further: dioxin appeared in the tests only three months after the onset of the disease; before that, the blood tests were clear. It is impossible to establish where it came from, who added the poison and whose blood samples they were, since Yushchenko categorically refused to do tests at home in the presence of independent experts, even as part of a criminal case. For years he did not appear for interrogations, although he was a victim!

The concentration of dioxin in Yushchenko’s blood, even if you believe those controversial tests, was only three or four Russian standards: infants in Chelyabinsk it is more... Five or six parliamentary and medical commissions in Ukraine came to the conclusion: there is no evidence of poisoning, all this is unfounded.

But you are also accused of lacking facts. You make a diagnosis on TV, and this is not scientific and unethical.

I make a diagnosis based on video and photography, as well as medical documents. Ethical or unethical, but due to political publicity, Yushchenko’s medical record, his tests and examinations ended up on the Internet. I don’t need to examine the patient, wonderful professionals did it for me!

You cannot be sure of the authenticity of the documents...

I know deputies of the Verkhovna Rada who checked everything thoroughly. I can be confident in the testimony of doctors that they gave in court, I can be confident in the published reports of commissions... Besides, sometimes just photographs are enough!

In medicine, there is the concept of “stigma”: this is a sign that occurs only with a given disease. Only with leprosy does the face change beyond recognition. It inflates, the brow ridges increase, the nasolabial folds cut more sharply, the nose thickens... In medicine, this is called the “lion mask” - the mask of leprosy patients, which even erases racial differences. Compare the photograph of Yushchenko and the portrait of the patient from the textbook: they are almost identical. Only leprosy affects the earlobes: they enlarge, resembling a plum. Why are there examinations here? Everything is completely clear. I appeal to all doctors: well, colleagues, admit the obvious!

Only leprosy deforms the ear cartilage. Normally, the pattern of the auricle is specific, like fingerprints, hence a lot of assumptions about Yushchenko’s double. People compare and write: this is not him!

Only leprosy affects the branch of the facial nerve responsible for the movement of the upper eyelid. The whole nerve - please, but one branch - only trauma and leprosy. I have a photograph: Yushchenko’s left eye is like a thorn. This is because the eyeball rolled back when blinking, but can’t go back - the nerve doesn’t work...

In the case of Yushchenko, I would teach students what tubercular leprosy is. He even has Orange peel on the face, even rashes around the nose in the form of butterfly wings...

If everything is so obvious, why doesn't anyone support you? Yushchenko's attending doctors sharply refuted this version.

They sharply refused to discuss it. Yushchenko's attending physician, cosmetic surgeon Olga Bogomolets, said that leprosy lasts for decades, but Yushchenko allegedly developed the disease in a few days. She just didn’t read his outpatient card, but I did. Viktor Yushchenko had been ill for ten years by 2004!

Gastritis, damage to the entire digestive system, dermatitis, the nature of which doctors could not determine, erysipelas, short-term paralysis. Viktor Yushchenko was the most frequently ill employee of the Ukrainian government! In 2002 - sixty-five visits to the doctor, seven per month! And this is not some hard worker who doesn’t have enough money for proper nutrition. It's the Prime Minister!

Yushchenko had such back pain that he was unable to attend the parliamentary meeting where the issue of his resignation was discussed: he underwent surgery at the Institute of Neurosurgery, where the nerve was freed from bone compression.

I'll tell you more. Thanks to my diagnosis, Yushchenko began to be treated.

Any evidence?

The director of one of our skin and veterinary institutes received a call from Ukraine and was asked to come and consult Yushchenko. He refused, then he was asked directly: “Could this be leprosy?” - “Yes, it could be leprosy”, - and this conversation took place just after my speeches.

Another indirect proof: it is known that from the very beginning Yulia Tymoshenko told her ally: “Do plastic surgery, remove this Pokemon mask”. Doctors in Switzerland tried to operate - and it was unsuccessful: the tissues do not heal, they are spreading because they are stuffed with mycobacteria, and then I read that Yushchenko underwent several dozen operations, and I see scars in the photographs instead of lumps, and this is only possible thanks to powerful anti-leprosy therapy.. .

I'm surprised at something else. For ten years I have been knocking on all doors: I was at the FSB, at a reception with leading scientists, wrote open letters to Yushchenko, met with the Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada Moroz. No reaction! There has never been a serious consultation and not even discussed the problem! But in epidemiology there are clear rules for what to do when a patient with leprosy is detected. And most importantly among them: It is necessary to register everyone who communicated with a leper at the dispensary...

That's it. And that’s why all the colleagues I turn to say: "Don't meddle". I gave materials to many of our healthcare leaders: “No, I didn’t read, I don’t see!”- because if you read it, this is a 100% diagnosis, then you need to take action!

But we are talking about public health. Young guys who have been in contact with those affected by tubercular leprosy are not taken into the army! The risk of infection is small, only three percent, but it's Russian roulette... And, in the end, there are already victims. The victim...

From the medical history: “Yulia Tymoshenko, who repeatedly hugged and kissed Viktor Yushchenko on the Maidan in 2004, was arrested in August 2011.
And almost immediately she announced that she was sick: bruises the size of her palm appeared all over her body. Yulia Vladimirovna is famous as a woman with peculiar concepts of morality, so no one believed in her illness (later the Ukrainian Iron Lady confirmed her bad temper, saying that she was beaten by guards). Bruises and hematomas were recorded by photography: they appeared and disappeared over time."

At the same time, Tymoshenko began to complain of back pain: the prisoner was transferred to a ward and filmed with a hidden camera, although doctors invited from abroad confirmed: Yulia was not a malingerer. After a couple of months, the body of the non-simulator was covered with a rash.

Igor Alekseevich, in your first interviews about Yushchenko many years ago you said: “It would be a pity if the beautiful features of Yulia Tymoshenko, the president’s closest ally, were distorted by a terrible disease...”

How I scribbled! But in fact, the seven years that have passed from “dioxin poisoning” is the standard incubation period for leprosy (lasts from five to thirty years. - Ed.). Arrest is extremely stressful. For Yushchenko, everything also came out due to stress, during the elections... I humanly empathized with Yulia. The woman screamed: "I'm sick, save me", - but the authorities didn’t move much. She was examined in Kharkov by doctors known to me, I asked: you will separate the personality of the politician and the symptoms. There is a rash, check it out!

Then German doctors from the Charite clinic began visiting Yulia and found that she had a Schmorl’s hernia, which eighty percent of older people have, as well as systemic damage to the nerve trunks. Most often this happens with three diseases: lues (syphilis), lupus (lupus erythematosus), leprosy...

They led her into court by the arms, and there you could see how her face was swollen. It's already different. Then they said: prison doesn’t look good on anyone. But Tymoshenko was not in prison, but in a first-class hospital, in a separate room, with good nutrition and the best Western doctors...

Now Yulia Vladimirovna looks almost the same as before. She was photographed in a store in Germany: walking with her daughter, light, in a white dress...

This means that the exacerbation has passed and remission has occurred, or the doctors have started anti-leprosy treatment. Leprosy is easily controlled with modern drugs. It used to be that in leper colonies everyone was fingerless and legless - but now the problem is to identify the disease. Just think: Yushchenko and Tymoshenko have been collapsing for years in front of their colleagues! European doctors forgot the leprosy clinic and mistakenly attributed this infection to completely defeated...

Now let's talk about ethics. We have the right to discuss possible infection specific person dangerous infectious disease or not. Who has more rights: a person to his personal privacy - or society to the safety of people's lives?

Did US congressmen have the right to know that a Ukrainian was speaking before them, whose entire body under his suit was covered with oozing sores, presumably leprosy? Yushchenko's attending physician, Bogomolets, writes about this with feminine enthusiasm: they say, if only members of Congress knew how painful it is for the man who stands in front of them at the pulpit. But congressmen who constantly measure sugar - did they really sign up for such a risk? What about their wives and children?

Well, okay, perhaps the United States knows the truth: Yushchenko’s presence of American advisers has never been hidden. What about ordinary Ukrainians? There was no president who kissed the people as much as Viktor Yushchenko!
Here we can recall the atypical behavior of patients with diseases rejected by society, for example, syphilis and cancer. “Why am I the only one suffering? Why am I being punished like this?” - and they walk and infect in order to share the pain. This psyche is breaking...

In July, Yulia Tymoshenko donated blood for ATO fighters: this is terrible... A leprous leadership and a leprous country... Or maybe leprosy also affects the brain? And this explains the current explosion of Russophobia in Ukraine?

This is a stretch: the effects of the bacterium on the central nervous system have not been described. The point is different. Symptoms characteristic of leprosy began to appear in politicians in other countries. Unexplained bruises and bruises, changes in facial features, back pain, deformation of the ears...

One prominent oppositionist completely disappeared from the screen two years ago, I began to find out: it turns out that he had left-sided paralysis of the facial nerve, like Yushchenko, he was treated unsuccessfully twice, recovered a year later, but traces remained. Has he ever met former president Ukraine?

No, I haven't.

Who did you meet? With Boris Nemtsov, who visited the Maidan in 2004.

Simple logic says that both of them should be tested for leprosy. Here it is important not to go too far, but also not to miss the danger.

Or Hillary Clinton. Obama fired her as US Secretary of State a couple of days after suddenly suffering from dehydration in her stomach and intestines. Dehydration is just uncontrollable diarrhea and vomiting, it is treated with an IV in any rural hospital, and, of course, simple poisoning could not be the reason for the resignation of the second person in the United States. So they explained to Hillary that this was a lifelong illness...

Leprosy has spread to the elite. Nature decided to punish the political elite. It's a slow epidemic.

Have you informed the suspected patients, those you suspect?

Necessarily. I took the oath of a Soviet doctor and consider it my duty to warn of danger.
But people still think that dysentery, hemorrhoids or leprosy cannot happen to a high-ranking official. As a result, here and throughout the world there is no mechanism for diagnosing senior political figures. Remember Yeltsin with his coronary disease brain: this is not a harmless condition. It is enough to pat such patients on the shoulder, laugh at their joke - and in return you will receive anything you want, including the disarmament of the army...

Therefore, today the evidence-based opinion of the expert community is extremely important. If it publicly confirms: yes, Yushchenko has leprosy, then all the politicians who met the patient will run to get checked themselves.

And this is our salvation for now.

FIGURE: According to WHO, eight hundred thousand new cases of leprosy are detected annually in the world. There are about fourteen million old treated patients who can relapse on earth.

APPLICATION:

“Leprosy is a disease of the soul. Leprosy is caused by an evil tongue, gossip, and the desire to harm people...”

Article announcement:

"God's chosen or God's damned?!"

Now all you can hear is different sides: "The Holy Land is Israel!" . Both Jewish priests in synagogues and Christian priests glorify Israel by reading prayers in the temples of Christ. But the ancestral home of the Jews was never a holy land! On the contrary, it was the land of people cursed by God, whom the healer and prophet Moses once brought out of Ancient Egypt.

A careful study of the Torah and the Bible leads to an unequivocal conclusion: the people who came out of Egypt under the leadership of Moses suffered from terrible skin diseases. One of them was leprosy. Leprosy (leprosy) in ancient times was considered a disease sent as punishment by God. This is what they called her: "God's Curse". This is exactly what the Jews suffered from when they were led out of Ancient Egypt by Moses.

Nowadays it is customary to tell a fairy tale about how Moses led his people through the desert for 40 years. And for what purpose did he lead those unfortunates through the desert - a mystery shrouded in darkness! Religious figures Judaism and Christianity, and Islam too, I don’t want to admit that at the source of all three Abrahamic religions is the feat and hard work of the prophets to save leper villains: treating their souls, minds and removing God’s curse from them!

Today it is customary to remain silent about why Moses entrusted the first “law of God”—the Ten Commandments—to someone else, namely the Jews: “Thou shalt not kill!”, “Thou shalt not steal!”, “Thou shalt not bear false witness!” and so on. But, if you think about it, the mind should tell any person the answer to this question.

That's why Moses brought these to the Jews ten Commandments, carved in stone, for centuries (!) that they originally lived robbery, theft, murder of people , and at the same time they also bore false witness against those whom they robbed, robbed or killed...

When Christ came to the sinful land of the Jews, he tried to continue the work of Moses in treating the mentally and physically sick. Jesus justified his coming to the Jews with these words:“It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick; I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." (Luke 5:31-32).

The unimaginable fact that the ancestors of modern Jews were punished in ancient times with leprosy for their numerous crimes against God and humanity explains, for example, why modern Jews have such a heritage “rich” in genetic diseases. What kind of inheritance is this - says an article published on a Jewish website www.sem40.ru

“I am the Lord your God, a jealous God, punishing the children for the iniquity of the fathers to the third and fourth generation.”(Deuteronomy 5:9).

“There were also many lepers in Israel under the prophet Elisha, and not one of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian.”(Luke 4:27).

Genetics

Many genetic diseases are specific to specific ethnic groups or nationalities.

For example, 25 percent of Jews whose ancestors come from of Eastern Europe, turn out to be carriers of certain genetic diseases that can be passed on to their children. If one of the partners is a carrier of a genetic disease, then there is a 25 percent chance that the couple will have an affected child. There is also a 50 percent chance that the child will be a carrier of the defective gene, like the parents, and only a 25 percent chance that he will not inherit it at all.

Fortunately, very developed precise methods, allowing you to determine whether the fetus has inherited genetic diseases or not. This can be either amniocentesis, performed at 15-18 weeks of pregnancy, or hornal villus analysis, usually performed at 10-12 weeks of pregnancy.

Jews planning to become parents will find it very helpful to learn about genetic diseases that are common among Ashkenazi Jews. These diseases include:

Bloom's syndrome. Children suffering from this rare disease are born very small and rarely grow above 1.5 meters. They have red and very sensitive skin on the face; various pathological disorders; they are more susceptible to respiratory and ear infections and have a higher risk of certain types of cancer. About one in 100 Ashkenazi Jews are carriers.

Canavan syndrome. This disease usually appears in children between 2 and 4 months of age, and they begin to forget previously learned skills. Most children die before the age of 5. One in 40 Ashkenazi Jews is a carrier of this disease.

Cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis causes the body to produce thick mucus that accumulates mainly in the lungs and digestive tract, causing chronic lung infections and stunted growth. A carrier is every 25th Ashkenazi Jew.

Hereditary dysautonomia. This disease affects body temperature control, motor coordination, speech, blood pressure, stress reactions, swallowing, ability to produce tears and digestive juices. Found in every 30 Ashkenazi Jew.

Fanconi syndrome - type C. Fanconi syndrome is associated with short stature, bone marrow failure, and a predisposition to leukemia and other cancers. Some children may have hearing problems or mental retardation. A carrier is every 89th Ashkenazi Jew.

Gaucher syndrome - type 1. Every 1,000 Ashkenazi Jews suffer from this disease. Its symptoms usually appear in adulthood. Patients suffer from pain in bones and joints, are sensitive to fractures and other pathologies associated with the skeletal system. Susceptible to anemia, bruising and poor blood clotting. This is a disease in currently can be effectively treated with enzyme replacement therapy. Every 12th Ashkenazi Jew is a carrier.

Mucolipidosis IV (ML IV). ML IV is one of the recently discovered genetic diseases of Jews. It is caused by the accumulation harmful substances all over the body. People with ML IV suffer from a variety of progressive motor and mental impairments that begin around 1 year of age. Early signs of the disease may include corneal clouding, strabismus, and retinal degeneration. IN this moment There are known patients with ML IV aged from 1 year to 30 years, but there is no data yet on the life expectancy of these patients. The percentage of people who carry it is also unknown.

Niemann-Pick disease - type A. Niemann-Pick disease is a neurodegenerative disease in which harmful amounts of fat cells accumulate in various parts of the body. Symptoms include loss of brain function and enlargement of the liver and spleen. The average life expectancy of children suffering from this disease is 2-3 years. Every 90th Ashkenazi Jew is a carrier.

Tay-Sachs disease (children's type). Tay-Sachs disease is the most famous genetic disease of Jews, affecting approximately one in 2.5 thousand newborns. Children with Tay-Sachs disease develop normally until 4-6 months, after which their central nervous system begins to degenerate due to lack of essential hormone. Affected children lose all motor skills and become blind, deaf and mute. Death usually occurs by age 4 years. Late manifestations of Tay-Sachs disease are less common, when the disease progresses more slowly and the symptoms are less pronounced. A carrier is every 25th Ashkenazi Jew.

Ideally, all parents wishing to have a child should be tested to determine whether they are carriers of one of these diseases. In most cases, at least one parent will test negative, and their children will be born without these diseases. If the test results of both parents are positive, then they should consult a doctor to look for a solution to this problem.

Before making a difficult decision, it may be helpful to reach out to a rabbi. Many Orthodox communities insist on premarital testing to cancel the marriage of two carriers of genetic diseases.

Sephardi Jews, whose ancestors come from Spain, Portugal, North Africa and parts of the Mediterranean, also suffer from certain genetic diseases. These include: beta thalassemia, familial Mediterranean fever, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency and glycogenosis type III.

Although these genetic diseases are usually not as severe as those afflicting Ashkenazi Jews, they can cause serious health problems and require treatment.

The beta thalassemia gene is found in every 30 people from the Mediterranean, while every 5-7 Jews from North Africa, Iraq, Armenia and Turkey carry the gene for hereditary Mediterranean fever. The glycogenosis type III gene occurs in one in 35 North African Jews and can only be inherited if both parents have it.

Unlike other Sephardic genetic diseases, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, the most common enzyme deficiency disease in humans that affects about 500 million people worldwide, is passed from mother to son. There is currently no test to determine the carrier.

I first heard it performed by Gemma Khalid. And I just fell in love with the song and the performer. Then I found out that there are other performers.

Girl from Nagasaki

02.09.2012 08:49 |

An amazing and even mysterious song. Many classify her as a thieves, although she is not at all purely a thieves. And, although this is not at all an old port song, as many believe, it has firmly entered the collection of “sea romance” songs, such as “In the Port of Cape Town”, “Ships Came into Our Harbor”.

And, in addition, disputes over the authorship of both poetry and music are still ongoing. Vertinsky and even Vysotsky were listed as authors. The original text, written back in the late 1920s, has been changed and supplemented by performers an endless number of times.

And who didn’t sing it! It was performed by Vadim Kozin, the bards of the 60s, Kira Smirnova, and Vladimir Vysotsky.

Arkady Severny (1939-1980), who had a very original voice timbre and expressive artistic presentation of the song, also sang “The Girl from Nagasaki”. The whole country listened to Arkady Severny - from drunks to party bosses, although the artist never gave a single concert in his life - for Soviet official culture the singer Arkady Severny did not exist.

The lyrics of the song “The Girl from Nagasaki” were written in the late 20s by the poetess Vera Inber, the music was composed by the then young composer Paul Marcel.

Yes, yes, that same Vera Inber, a famous Soviet writer, laureate of the Stalin Prize (for the poem “Pulkovo Meridian”), is the author of the words of this song. In her youth, she wrote romantic poems, and this poem of hers, “The Girl from Nagasaki,” became practically folk song, even in some way, thieves.

Inber Vera Mikhailovna , (1890 - 1972). Born in Odessa. She was published there in the newspaper under the pseudonyms Vera Litti (little), Vera Imbert.

Vera Inber was cousin Leon Trotsky, one of the leaders of the October Revolution of 1917 and organizer of the Red Army. Survived Leningrad blockade. She was not touched for her relationship with Trotsky, but she took part in the persecution of Boris Pasternak.

Her husband, the talented journalist Nathan Inber, wrote about her: “a little woman whose lips smelled of raspberries, sin and Paris.”

Paul Marcel . The music for the song “The Girl from Nagasaki” was written by composer Paul Marcel Rusakov (1908 - 1973), also known as Pavel Aleksandrovich Rusakov. Born in Marseille, France, into a family Russian Jews who emigrated from Russia due to the Jewish pogroms of the early 20th century. His father protested against the military intervention in Russia of 1918-1920, and the family was exiled to Petrograd.

This is how Pavel Rusakov ended up in Soviet Russia, began to be called Paul Marcel, wrote romances based on poems by Yesenin, Blok and Pasternak. He did not escape repression and spent 10 years in camps.

He wrote the music for famous song“Friendship” (When with a simple and tender gaze), which was included in the repertoire of V. Kozin, K. Shulzhenko, and L. Utesov, although disputes about its authorship still do not subside (the authorship is attributed to V. Sidorov, V. Kozin’s accompanist ).

Original text

The original lyrics of the song “The Girl from Nagasaki” were repeatedly corrected and supplemented by both known and unknown “co-authors”. IN original text only four quatrains (verses). But the main difference is at the beginning: “He is a cabin boy...”. This is the highlight, the essence, because young Vera Inber wrote romantic girlish poems.

He is a cabin boy, his homeland is Marseille,
He loves drinking, noise and fighting.
He smokes a pipe, drinks English ale,
And he loves a girl from Nagasaki.

She has beautiful green eyes
And a khaki silk skirt.
And a fiery jig in taverns
A girl from Nagasaki dances.

Amber, corals, scarlet as blood,
And a khaki silk skirt,
And ardent hot love
He's bringing a girl from Nagasaki.

Already in our time, the CD “Anthology of one song - The Girl from Nagasaki” (Genre: Chanson, Format: MP3) was released, which collected as many as 21 performers of this song.

You listen, and the “moment of truth” comes: many performers do not understand the “soul” of this song at all, they try to remake it “for themselves”, and not grow to the romantic heights of this song.

For example, in a rock and roll performance, the port romance, the flair of dreamy sadness, and the unforgettable charm of the “yard” song completely disappear (Alexander F. Sklyar, the group “Bullet” and others). This is the same as the ballet “Lenin in October” - can you imagine Lenin in tights, jumping onto an armored car?

But there are performers who treat the original quite carefully.

Lyrics of the song “Girl from Nagasaki” performed by Vladimir Vysotsky:

He is a captain and his homeland is Marseille.

He loves arguments, noises, fights,

He smokes a pipe, drinks strong ale

And he loves a girl from Nagasaki.

She has traces of leprosy on her hands,

She's got tattooed marks

And in the evenings jig in taverns

A girl from Nagasaki dances.

She has such small breasts

And lips, lips as scarlet as poppies.

The captain goes on a long journey

And he loves a girl from Nagasaki.

Corals as scarlet as blood

The beautiful song “The Girl from Nagasaki”, the title and lyrics of which mention the widely known tragic story Japanese city in next year will be one hundred years old. Once upon a time, a long time ago, in the late forties, back in student years, I heard it, but forgot, and recently, as it happened, one day, I listened to the song performed by Vladimir Vysotsky, Gemma Khalid and Alexander Malinin.

It seems to me that I know the works of Vysotsky and Malinin quite well, and I heard the name Gemma Khalid for the first time, although I also love chanson and have been listening to it for many years.

Chanson lovers and music critics say correctly that the song “The Girl from Nagasaki” is amazing and full of mysteries. There were too many myths and legends around this song.

Previously, many considered the song “criminal” and “port”, although musicologists did not agree with this. The song has long and firmly become one of the hits " marine theme“, but she still isn’t.

For a long time They argued about who owns the words and who owns the music of the song. The famous Alexander Vertinsky and many other singers and composers were considered the author of the song, and then even Vladimir Vysotsky was considered the author.

It was believed that the lyrics of the song were written in the late 20s of the last century. But meticulous musicologists found information in the archives that the song appeared much earlier and was sounded back in 1918!

It is also known that the lyrics of the song were changed and supplemented several times. As a rule, this was done by the performers. And it was sung by Vadim Kozin, Arkady Severny, bards of the 60s, Kira Smirnova, Vladimir Vysotsky, Alexander Malinin and many other artists. On CD “Anthology of one song. Girl from Nagasaki" there were more than two dozen performers.

Now passions have subsided and experts in “sea romance” have come to the conclusion that the words of the song belong to the poetess Vera Inber (1890-1972), a famous Soviet writer.

The question of the composer who wrote the music for the song “The Girl from Nagasaki” has remained open to this day. For a long time it was believed that the music was written by the composer Paul Marcel Rusakov (1908 - 1973), also known as Pavel Aleksandrovich Rusakov. But here is information from the Internet: “... the authorship of Paul Marcel as a composer can be removed. Theater magazine No. 7 dated December 22, 1918 writes about the opening of the Red Zucchini Actors' basement in Kharkov on November 3, 1918: “A guitar is ringing from somewhere. Drunken, gentle guitar by de Lazari. “My charabanc, charabanc.” This is Raisova. Raisa Mikhailovna herself. “He is a cabin boy, his homeland is Marseille.” "The Girl from Nagasaki"...

It turns out that in 1918 the song was already popular, and Paul Marcel was only ten years old at that time.

I researched the history of the song “The Girl from Nagasaki”, dug deeper on the first Internet sites, mainly. Cautious samizdat revelations in the past. They didn’t write me a review of the publication, I’ll answer on your page, maybe someone is interested.
The author of the music is also the author of the words - Vera Inber. She played music no more than average, at an amateur level. I was embarrassed to advertise.
All other authors “attached” to the popularity of the text, as is usually the case with bards.-

These are the kind of “stove benches” you get... Vera Inber is the author of poetry and music!
Where is the truth? No one knows...

The poem “The Girl from Nagasaki” became a folk song even in the pre-war years.

The lyrics of the song were repeatedly corrected and supplemented by both known and unknown “co-authors”.

The original lyrics of the song only had four verses. Vera Inber wrote romantic, “girlish” poems since 1910. The beginning of the song then sounded like this: “He’s a cabin boy...”. In subsequent texts, through the efforts of numerous editors, the cabin boy turned into a captain: “He is the captain...”.

The original lyrics of the song were published in the book “Frainable Words” (Odessa, 1922). There are only four verses. If the first three were repeated in many versions of the song subsequently, then the first line of the last verse was never heard in such an edition.

Having arrived, he hurries to her, barely breathing,
And he finds out that the gentleman is in a tailcoat,
Tonight, after smoking hashish,

The song “The Girl from Nagasaki” has been included in the repertoire of dozens of performers over many decades.

Music critics They believe that many of them never understood the “soul” of this song. They tried to remake it for themselves, and not rise to the romance of it piece of music. They lost the port romance, the dreamy sadness, and the unforgettable charm of the “yard” song.

Gemma Khalid and Vladimir Vysotsky treated the original with care. Although, the lyrics of the song performed by Vladimir Vysotsky are somewhat different from the lyrics sung by Gemma Khalid and Alexander Malinin. The text is well known, but I will quote it in full. It will be easier for the reader to understand the continuation of this extraordinary story.

He is a captain, and his homeland is Marseille.
He loves arguments, noise and fights,
He smokes a pipe, drinks strong ale

She has traces of leprosy on her hands,
She's got tattooed marks
And in the evenings jig in taverns
A girl from Nagasaki dances.

The captain goes on a long journey
And he loves a girl from Nagasaki.

Corals, scarlet as blood,
And a khaki silk jacket,
And ardent and passionate love
He's bringing a girl from Nagasaki.

The captain returned from afar,
And he learned that the gentleman in tails
Once I smoked hashish,
Stabbed a girl from Nagasaki to death.

She has such small breasts
And lips, lips as red as poppies.
The captain goes on a long journey,
And he loves a girl from Nagasaki.

And in a wild storm, when the thunder roars,
And in quiet hours on the forecastle,
He remembers those brown eyes
And raves about a girl from Nagasaki.

In March 2012, a continuation of the song “The Girl from Nagasaki” appeared, only now with a happy ending. The author of the text is a Ukrainian poet from the city of Zaporozhye Valerian Proskuryakov (), and performed the song “Living Memory of Love from Nagasaki” famous singer Sabina. The music remains the same...

Lyrics of the continuation of the song “The Girl from Nagasaki”

The years flew by, the captain became gray,
Arrived with the team again in Nagasaki.
And, finding myself in an old tavern,
He saw his love and the same signs.

She has such small breasts
And lips, lips as red as poppies.
He didn't believe his own eyes,
But he lost consciousness in the twilight.

And so, when the captain woke up,
He noticed a gentleman in a tailcoat,
Brown eyes were having fun with him -
His favorite from Nagasaki!

She's got tattoo marks on her arms
And the lips, the lips are scarlet, like poppies.
And with amazement the captain learned
In it is the daughter of that girl from Nagasaki.

The story of an undying dream
To my beloved girl, whose lips are like poppies.
Our captain continued not in the seas -
He remained in Nagasaki forever.

He disappeared into a familiar tavern,
I looked at my daughter and her signs,
And I saw French features in her,
And the girl he fell in love with in Nagasaki.

The captain has no other fate,
Now he doesn’t like noise or fights.
He is immensely happy that his daughter is nearby -
Living memory of holy love from Nagasaki!

On the pier in a storm, when the thunderstorm roars
And the cry of seagulls, a victorious cry in the darkness.
Captain Famous for Love
Greedily swallows the splashes of sea attack waves!

An amazing and even mysterious song. Many classify her as a thieves, although she is not at all purely a thieves. And, although this is not at all an old port song, as many believe, it has firmly entered the collection of “sea romance” songs, such as “In the Port of Cape Town”, “Ships Came into Our Harbor”.

And, in addition, disputes over the authorship of both poetry and music are still ongoing. Vertinsky and even Vysotsky were listed as authors. The original text, written back in the late 1920s, has been changed and supplemented by performers an endless number of times.

And who didn’t sing it! It was performed by Vadim Kozin, the bards of the 60s, Kira Smirnova, and Vladimir Vysotsky.

The lyrics of the song “The Girl from Nagasaki” were written in the late 20s by the poetess Vera Inber, the music was composed by the then young composer Paul Marcel.

Yes, yes, the same Vera Inber, famous Soviet writer, laureate Stalin Prize(for the poem “Pulkovo Meridian”), and there is the author of the words of this song. In her youth, she wrote romantic poems, and this poem of hers, “The Girl from Nagasaki”, even in the pre-war years, became almost a folk song, even in some way, a criminal song.

Inber Vera Mikhailovna, (1890 - 1972). Born in Odessa. She was published there in the newspaper under the pseudonyms Vera Litti (little), Vera Imbert.

Vera Inber was the cousin of Leon Trotsky, one of the leaders of the October Revolution of 1917 and organizer of the Red Army. Survived the Leningrad siege. She was not touched for her relationship with Trotsky, but she took part in the persecution of Boris Pasternak.

Her husband, the talented journalist Nathan Inber, wrote about her: “a little woman whose lips smelled of raspberries, sin and Paris.”

The music for the song “The Girl from Nagasaki” was written by composer Paul Marcel Rusakov (1908 - 1973), also known as Pavel Aleksandrovich Rusakov. Born in Marseille, France, into a family of Russian Jews who emigrated from Russia due to the Jewish pogroms of the early 20th century. His father protested against the military intervention in Russia of 1918-1920, and the family was exiled to Petrograd.

This is how Pavel Rusakov ended up in Soviet Russia, began to be called Paul Marcel, wrote romances based on poems by Yesenin, Blok and Pasternak. He did not escape repression and spent 10 years in camps.

It was he who wrote the music for the famous song “Friendship” (When with a simple and tender gaze), which was included in the repertoire of V. Kozin, K. Shulzhenko, and L. Utesov, although disputes about his authorship have not subsided to this day (the authorship is attributed to V. .Sidorov, accompanist V.Kozin).

The original lyrics of the song “The Girl from Nagasaki” were repeatedly corrected and supplemented by both known and unknown “co-authors”. The original text contains only four quatrains (verses). But the main difference is at the beginning: “He is a cabin boy...”. This is the highlight, the essence, because young Vera Inber wrote romantic girlish poems.

He is a cabin boy, his homeland is Marseille,
He loves drinking, noise and fighting.
He smokes a pipe, drinks English ale,

She has beautiful green eyes
And a khaki silk skirt.
And a fiery jig in taverns
A girl from Nagasaki dances.

Amber, corals, scarlet as blood,
And a khaki silk skirt,
And ardent hot love
He's bringing a girl from Nagasaki.

Having arrived, he hurries to her, barely breathing,
And he finds out that the gentleman is in a tailcoat,
Tonight, after smoking hashish,
Stabbed a girl from Nagasaki to death.

original text from the book `Fleeting Words` published in Odessa (1922)

Already in our time, the CD “Anthology of one song - The Girl from Nagasaki” (Genre: Chanson, Format: MP3) has been released, which contains as many as 21 performers of this song. (download) Listen, and the “moment of truth” comes: many performers do not understand at all the “soul” of this song, they are trying to remake it “for themselves”, and not grow to the romantic heights of this song.

For example, in a rock and roll performance, the port romance, the flair of dreamy sadness, and the unforgettable charm of the “yard” song completely disappear (Alexander F. Sklyar, the group “Bullet” and others). This is the same as the ballet “Lenin in October” - can you imagine Lenin in tights, jumping onto an armored car?

But there are performers who treat the original quite carefully.

Lyrics of the song “Girl from Nagasaki” performed by Vladimir Vysotsky:

Arkady Severny

Bullet group

The authorship of Paul Marcel, as a composer can be filmed.
This is what the Theater Magazine writes (No. 7 of December 22, 1918) regarding the opening of the Red Zucchini Actors' Basement in Kharkov on November 3, 1918 (Sumskaya, 6)
“A guitar is ringing from somewhere. Drunken, gentle guitar by de Lazari. “My charabanc, charabanc.” This is Raisova. Raisa Mikhailovna herself. “He is a cabin boy, his homeland is Marseille.” “The Girl from Nagasaki”......taking the violin from the Romanian, someone plays “Charochka”. Music, wine, smiles. Of course it's a blast. But if you’re having fun at all, it’s a joy to be having fun.”
That is, it turns out that in 1918 the song was already popular, and Marcel was only 10 years old in 1818.

An amazing and even mysterious song. Many classify her as a thieves, although she is not at all purely a thieves. And, although this is not at all an old port song, as many believe, it has firmly entered the collection of “sea romance” songs, such as “In the Port of Cape Town”, “Ships Came into Our Harbor”.

Her husband, the talented journalist Nathan Inber, wrote about her: “a little woman whose lips smelled of raspberries, sin and Paris.”

Vladimir Mayakovsky dedicated a very ambiguous poem to her, which is perceived very rudely by ear (especially if read “with expression”), and is therefore considered a rather caustic epigram on Inber.

Paul Marcel . The music for the song “The Girl from Nagasaki” was written by composer Paul Marcel Rusakov (1908 - 1973), also known as Pavel Aleksandrovich Rusakov.

Vladimir Vysotsky

This recording of “Girls from Nagasaki” by Vladimir Vysotsky was made in a Paris studio.

Lyrics of the song “Girl from Nagasaki” performed by Vladimir Vysotsky:

He is a captain and his homeland is Marseille.
He loves arguments, noises, fights,
He smokes a pipe, drinks strong ale
And he loves a girl from Nagasaki.

She has traces of leprosy on her hands,
She's got tattooed marks
And in the evenings jig in taverns
A girl from Nagasaki dances.

She has such small breasts
And lips, lips as scarlet as poppies.
The captain goes on a long journey
And he loves a girl from Nagasaki.

Corals as scarlet as blood
And a khaki silk blouse
And ardent and passionate love
He's bringing a girl from Nagasaki.

The captain returned from afar,
And he learned that the gentleman in tails
Once I smoked hashish,
Stabbed a girl from Nagasaki to death.

She has such small breasts
And lips, lips as scarlet as poppies.
The captain goes on a long journey,
Not seeing the girl from Nagasaki.

And, nevertheless, the interpretation of the song made in 2012 based on the film “Wasabi” is of interest, something like “The Girl from Nagasaki. 20 years later":

“The years flew by, the captain turned gray.
Arrived with the team again in Nagasaki.
And, finding myself in an old tavern,
He saw his love and the same signs...

This is like a new “edition” of the song “The Girl from Nagasaki”, only with a happy ending.

Living memory of love from Nagasaki
