Read the summary of the story The golden cloud spent the night by Anatoly Pristavkin

Moscow region. Orphanage. The leadership decides to send older guys to the Caucasus, but they did not want to. But the Kuzmenyshi twins expressed their joyful desire to go. Because the day before they tried to dig under the room where they cut bread and eat to satiety, but ... it didn’t work out. And therefore, the legs must be carried away.

They drove and they came. The name of the station Caucasian Waters is written in charcoal. The station building was bombed. Emptiness ... Around the sown fields. But there is no one to clean the crops. War. deserted. Quiet. And the Kuzmenys are interested in everything. After all, they never saw anything like it.

While the brothers were traveling, they met the teacher. Arrived, remembered a recent acquaintance. We decided to visit her because they liked her very much. Let's go to the station. It turns out that people live here, but they almost never go out into the street, they don’t light fires. Afraid. Finally, the long-awaited meeting with the teacher.

In the boarding school, the director arranged for the guys to work at the plant. The teacher recommended the Kuzmenysh twins there. Night fell, everyone fell asleep, and the teacher, carried away by sewing hats for the children, did not notice the black muzzle of a pistol from the window sash.

There was a fire at night. In the morning the teacher was taken away by no one knows who and where. Nothing is known, but this is scary and incomprehensible.

A female chauffeur, Vera, takes the Kuzmenysh to work. The brothers liked it at the factory. You can take apples, plums, pears ... which they did. Nobody scolds them for it. The hunger has receded. Aunt Zina treats them to eggplant caviar. Well, what more could you want?

Relations with the local population are heating up. Constantly hungry children from the boarding school make robbery raids on other people's gardens, orchards ... In order to somehow smooth out the conflict, the director of the boarding school organizes a performance for collective farmers where children perform. During the last number - tricks, the highlanders blew up Vera's car. She died. Everyone jumped up, vanity, confusion. It's scary. It seems that the war is far away, but death, here it is, very close.
In the morning the governess was already in her place and invited the Kuzmenyshi to go with her to the subsidiary farm.
The guys with the teacher went to the field, got down to business. It seems that the fears have been forgotten. Life went back to its usual course. Once Kuzmenysh was sent to a boarding school for food on a passing cart, but the cart did not reach its destination. At night, in the steppe, she stopped for some unknown reason, and the guide turned pale in fear and covered his face with his hands.

The twins decided to go and see what happened in the boarding school. When they arrived, they saw that everything was broken and empty. Something terrible has happened.

We returned to the guide through the cornfield. At this time, they were ambushed by the Chechens and the brothers were confused. Kolka ran until he fainted. But Sasha...

In the morning, Kolya came to his senses. It's dawn. Kolka went to look for his brother and guide, but ... in the village he came across a terrible picture - Sasha was crucified on the fence. Farewell, brother! We are no longer together...

Then Kolka decided to drag a cart to take his brother to the station and fulfill his dream - to send him to see the mountains ... After all, he dreamed about it so much ... He loaded his brother's body onto a freight train going in the right direction.

Kolka himself wandered for a long time until he found a fellow traveler, a Chechen boy. Together they wandered for a long time through the mountains, where danger lay in wait for them at every step. One day they were discovered by a Russian soldier. Kolka slept in an embrace with a Chechen boy. The children woke up, and so that they would not be separated, they said that they were twins, Kuzmenyshi.

The last scenes are a children's receiver in Grozny. This is the time when Kolka and her named brother are waiting to leave for an orphanage, so that they never, under any circumstances, be separated.

Among the works about wartime, the story “A Golden Cloud Spent the Night,” written by Anatoly Pristavkin, stands apart: it not only shows the pain and misfortune experienced by the whole country, but also how this misfortune brings people belonging to different nationalities, to different cultures.

A. Pristavkin sharpens the impact on the reader by telling the story of two boys. This is a brief summary. “A golden cloud spent the night” depicts how the war brought two orphans to the southern village of Caucasian Waters. Sasha and Kolya Kuzmins, Kuzmenyshs, as they are called, were brought by Regina Petrovna, teacher of the orphanage. But even here, in the blessed land, there is no peace and quiet. Local residents are in constant fear: the city is being raided by Chechens hiding in the mountains. By decision of the authorities, they were exiled to distant Siberia, but they managed to escape to the mountains and forests.

Encounter with cruelty

The story of Pristavkin, as well as its summary, tells about the first clashes with hatred and cruelty. “A golden cloud spent the night” tells how Regina Petrovna’s house was once burned down. Children from the orphanage worked together with adults at the factory. They were driven by a driver Vera. But she, too, dies at the hands of fugitive Chechens. One day, Kolya and Sasha were returning with Demyan from the subsidiary farm to the boarding school, but they found a terrible picture: the house was destroyed and empty, the children's things were lying around the yard. And here the bandits ruled. Demyan with the children tries to run away and hide. Sasha in a panic loses his fellow travelers and runs away. Bandits overtake him. “A golden cloud spent the night,” a summary, and even more so, an original work, has a powerful effect on the reader’s emotions. The pages about Sasha's death can be considered a tragic climax. Kolya, having waited out the danger, returns to the village and sees his brother on the street. It's like he's on a fence. But when Kolya comes closer, he sees a terrible picture. Sasha is hanging on the stakes of the fence, his stomach is torn open, all the insides are hanging over his legs, corn cobs are sticking out of the wound in his stomach and from his mouth. The story "A golden cloud spent the night" shows simply and therefore even more terrifyingly the tragedy of the Kuzmenyshs' fate. Kolya fulfills the wish of his dead brother, who dreamed of seeing the mountains closer. He transports Sasha on a cart to the train. To get a full understanding of the story, of course, you need to read it. But the direction of the development of the plot will present the reader with even a summary. “A golden cloud spent the night” shows the fate of the children of the war.

Tragic ending optimism

The ending of the story is very important and life-affirming. A soldier accidentally finds two homeless boys sleeping. One of them is Kolya Kuzmin, the second is a Chechen boy. Also an orphan, Alkhuzur found warmth and sympathy in Kolya. The boys called themselves Sasha and Kolya Kuzmin. The touching ending of the story suggests that it is not nationality that separates people. Evil is born by criminals, wherever they come from: from

From the orphanage it was planned to send two older children to the Caucasus, but they immediately disappeared into space. And the twins Kuzmins, in the orphanage Kuzmenyshi, on the contrary, said that they would go. The fact is that a week before that, the tunnel they made under the bread slicer collapsed. They dreamed of once in a lifetime to eat to the full, but it did not work out. Military sappers were called in to inspect the tunnel, they said that without equipment and training it was impossible to dig such a metro, especially for children ... But it was better to disappear just in case. Damn this Moscow region, ravaged by war! The name of the station - Caucasian Waters - was written in charcoal on plywood nailed to a telegraph pole. The station building burned down during the recent fighting. During the entire many hours of travel from the station to the village, where the homeless children were placed, neither a cart, nor a car, nor a random traveler came across. Empty all around ... The fields are ripening. Someone plowed them, sowed them, someone weeded them. Who?.. Why is it so deserted and deaf in this beautiful land? Kuzmenyshi went to visit the teacher Regina Petrovna - they met on the road, and they really liked her. Then we moved to the station. People, it turned out, live in it, but somehow secretly: they don’t go out into the street, they don’t sit on the mound. At night, the lights in the huts are not lit. And in the boarding school there is news: the director, Pyotr Anisimovich, has agreed to work at a cannery. Regina Petrovna enrolled the Kuzmenyshs there, although in fact only the seniors, fifth or seventh grades, were sent. Regina Petrovna also showed them a hat and an old Chechen strap found in the back room. She handed over the strap and sent the Kuzmenyshs to sleep, while she herself sat down to sew winter hats for them from a hat. And she did not notice how the window sash quietly leaned back and a black barrel appeared in it. There was a fire at night. In the morning Regina Petrovna was taken somewhere. And Sashka showed Kolka numerous traces of horse hooves and a cartridge case. The cheerful chauffeur Vera began to take them to the cannery. The factory is good. Immigrants work. Nobody is protecting anything. Immediately scored apples, and pears, and plums, and tomatoes. Aunt Zina gives “blissful” caviar (eggplant, but Sashka forgot the name). And once she confessed: “We are so afraid ... Chechens are damned! We were taken to the Caucasus, and they were taken to the Siberian paradise ... Some didn’t want to ... So they hid in the mountains! Relations with the settlers became very strained: the ever-hungry colonists stole potatoes from the gardens, then the collective farmers caught one colonist on melons ... Pyotr Anisimovich proposed to hold an amateur concert for the collective farm. The last number Mitek showed tricks. Suddenly, hooves clattered very close by, a horse neighed and guttural cries were heard. Then it boomed. Silence. And a shout from the street: “They blew up the car! There is our Faith! House is burning!" The next morning it became known that Regina Petrovna had returned. And she suggested that the Kuzmenys should go to the farm together. The Kuzmenyshs got down to business. They took turns going to the spring. They drove the herd to the meadow. Grind corn. Then the one-legged Demyan arrived, and Regina Petrovna begged him to drop the Kuzmenysh to the colony to get food. They fell asleep on the cart, and woke up at dusk and did not immediately understand where they were. For some reason Demyan was sitting on the ground, and his face was pale. "Quiet! - clicked. - There is your colony! Only there... it's... empty." The brothers went into the territory. Strange view: the yard is littered with junk. There are no people. The windows are broken. Doors torn off their hinges. And - quietly. Scary. Rushed to Demyan. We walked through the corn, bypassing the gaps. Demyan walked ahead, suddenly jumped somewhere to the side and disappeared. Sashka rushed after him, only the gift belt flashed. Kolka sat down, tormented by diarrhea. And then on the side, right above the corn, a horse's muzzle appeared. Kolya slumped to the ground. Opening his eyes, he saw a hoof right next to his face. Suddenly the horse recoiled. He ran, then fell into a hole. And fell into unconsciousness. The morning is blue and peaceful. Kolka went to the village to look for Sasha and Demyan. I saw my brother standing at the end of the street, leaning against the fence. Ran straight towards him. But on the way, Kolka's step began to slow down by itself: Sashka stood for something strange. Came close and froze. Sashka did not stand, he hung, fastened under the armpits on the edge of the fence, and a bunch of yellow corn protruded from his stomach. Another cob was stuck in his mouth. Below the belly, a black tripe hung in the panties, in clots of Sashkin's blood. Later it turned out that there was no silver strap on it. A few hours later, Kolka dragged a cart, took his brother's body to the station and sent it with the train: Sasha really wanted to go to the mountains. Much later, a soldier came across Kolka, who turned off the road. Kolka slept in an embrace with another boy, who looked like a Chechen. Only Kolka and Alkhuzur knew how they wandered between the mountains, where the Chechens could kill the Russian boy, and the valley, where the Chechen was already in danger. How they saved each other from death. Children did not allow themselves to be separated and were called brothers. Sasha and Kolya Kuzmin. From the children's clinic in the city of Grozny, the children were transferred to an orphanage. Homeless people were kept there before being sent to various colonies and orphanages.
