Viy

“Viy” is a horror story by the famous Russian writer Nikolai Gogol. The title refers to the name of a demon central to the plot. The story concerns three students from the Bratsk Monastery at Kiev. Three students from the seminary were hiking home for the summer. Unfortunately, they lost their way in the dark. Being hungry and afraid of wolves, they asked for lodging at the first farmyard on their way. An old woman at first refused to take them in, saying that she was afraid of “such big fellows.” They swore that they would behave themselves. The old woman invited them in, saying “What fine young gentlemen the devil has brought us!” She gave them all separate places to sleep. Khoma was given a place in the sheep pen.

In the middle of the night, Khoma was awakened by the old woman. She reached out her arms toward him and he found himself strangely powerless to move away from her. She leapt onto his back with the swiftness of a cat and began to ride him, beating him on his side with a broom. To his amazement and horror, Khoma carried the old woman out into the wide plain. The sun replaced the moon, and he saw a beautiful water nymph. Realizing that he was in the power of a witch, Khoma began to recite all the prayers he knew against evil spirits. The old woman’s power seemed to fade, and he, as quick as lightning, stopped carrying her and jumped onto her back instead. As she started to carry him, he picked up a piece of wood from the roadside and began to beat her with it. The moon came back into its former place and she fell exhausted onto the ground. As Khoma looked at her, he saw she had transformed into a lovely young woman. Khoma, shaken by his experience with the old woman, ran all the way back to Kiev, forgetting his companions. He thought no more about his extraordinary adventure.

Meanwhile, rumours were circulating that the daughter of one of the richest Cossack commanders had returned one day from a walk, severely injured, hardly able to crawl home to her father’s house, and was lying at the point of death, expressing the wish that one of the Kiev seminarists, the philosopher Khoma Brut, should read the prayers and the psalms over her for three nights after her death. He refused to go but several Cossacks brought him by force to the village where the girl lived. When he saw the corpse, he understood it was the witch he had overcome earlier. Khoma didn’t wish to say prayers over her body at night. On the first night, as he began to say prayers, the witch sat up in her coffin. She began to walk around trying to approach Khoma, but he drew a circle of protection around himself that she could not cross. Then she went into her coffin and demons flew about the church in it, trying to frighten him out of the circle. Dawn arrived, and Khoma had survived the first night. The next night, the same thing happened. In the morning, Khoma was more dead than alive, he was pale and leaning against a wall. He tried to escape the next day but was captured and brought back to finish. On the third night, the witch’s corpse was even more terrifying, and she called the demons and monsters around her to bring Viy into the church. Khoma realized that he shouldn’t look at the creature, but he did and saw a horrible iron face staring at him. Viy pointed in his direction, and the monsters leapt upon him. Khoma died of horror. However, the monsters missed the first crowing of the rooster and were unable to escape the church when a new day began. The story ends with Khoma’s other two friends commenting on his death, agreeing that he only came to his end, because he showed fear of the demons.

Вий

"Вий" - это рассказ ужасов известного русского писателя Николая Гоголя. Название отсылает к имени демона, который является центральным персонажем сюжета. История повествует о трех студентах из Братского монастыря в Киеве.

Три студента семинарии возвращались домой на лето.

К сожалению, они заблудились в темноте. Голодные и боясь волков, они попросили ночлега на первом попавшемся скотном дворе. Старуха пригласила их войти, сказав: "Каких славных молодых господ черт нам привел!" Она разместила их всех по отдельности. Хоме дали место в овчарне.

Посреди ночи старуха разбудила Хому.

Она протянула к нему руки, и он обнаружил, что странным образом бессилен отстраниться от нее. Она вскочила ему на спину с быстротой кошки и начала кататься на нем, колотя его по боку метлой. К его изумлению и ужасу, Хома вынес старуху на широкую равнину. Солнце сменило луну, и он увидел прекрасную русалку. Поняв, что он находится во власти ведьмы, Хома начал читать все известные ему молитвы против злых духов. Сила старухи, казалось, ослабела, и он, быстрый как молния, перестал нести ее и вместо этого вскочил ей на спину. Когда она начала нести его, он подобрал с обочины кусок дерева и начал бить ее им. Луна вернулась на прежнее место, и она упала без сил на землю. Когда Хома взглянул на нее, он увидел, что она превратилась в прекрасную молодую женщину. Хома, потрясенный своим опытом со старухой, бежал всю дорогу обратно в Киев, забыв своих спутников. Между тем, ходили слухи, что дочь одного из самых богатых казачьих командиров однажды вернулась с прогулки, тяжело раненая, еле доползающая до дома отца, и лежит при смерти, выражая желание, чтобы семинарист Хома Брут читал над ней молитвы в течение трех ночей после ее смерти. Он отказался идти, но несколько казаков силой привели его в деревню, где жила девушка.

Когда он увидел труп, он понял, что это ведьма, которую он победил ранее. Хома не хотел читать молитвы над ее телом ночью. В первую ночь, когда он начал читать молитвы, ведьма села в своем гробу. Она начала ходить, пытаясь приблизиться к Хоме, но он очертил вокруг себя защитный круг, через который она не могла переступить. Затем она вошла в свой гроб и летала в нем по церкви, пытаясь спугнуть его из круга. Наступил рассвет, и Хома пережил первую ночь. На следующую ночь произошло то же самое. Утром Хома был ни жив, ни мертв, он был бледен и прислонился к стене. На следующий день он попытался сбежать, но был схвачен и добит. На третью ночь труп ведьмы был еще более ужасающим, и она призвала демонов и чудовищ вокруг себя, чтобы привести Вия в церковь. Хома понял, что он не должен смотреть на существо, но он посмотрел и увидел ужасное железное лицо, уставившееся на него. Вий указал в его сторону, и чудовища набросились на него. Хома умер от ужаса.
