Manchaara Vasily Biography

However, many townspeople and guests of Yakutsk probably paid attention in the expositions of the local local history museum on a bronze bust with a spiritualized expression on the face. This is a sculptural portrait of Manchaara, made by the method of restoration of the face on the skull - the famous method of Gerasimov.

It has long been rumor among the people that the skull from which the face was reconstructed, perhaps, did not belong to the remains of Manchaara at all. A well -known storyteller and singing, master of improvisation. The image of Manchaara was repeatedly covered in Russian, Yakut and Soviet literature. In the years, Manchaara was the head of the spontaneous indignation of the poor against social injustice, taking away wealth from the wealthy Toyons, handed it out to the poor.

It is known that he and his comrades committed 18 raids only in the summer of the year. Together with accomplices, the tsarist authorities were repeatedly caught, who called him a robber and robber, but he made shoots from prison. Manchaara is also known for the fact that for his entire “robber” life did not kill a single person, including his main offender - Uncle Chooco, whom he still held on the fly, but forgave it.

In the year, Manchaars sentenced the ten years in prison, he was kept in the chamber with a chain to the wall. At the end of the deadline, Manchaara remained chained for another two years, up to a year. After that, he was sent to the settlement in the Bordonsky names of the Markhinsky ulus now the Maljar navigation of the Nurebin ulus, where he lived a calm life, married, acquired an economy, had a mowing place called "Manchaara Ataga." He died on November 6th at the age of 65.

His songs became folk and were transferred from the mouth to the mouth of the Yakut singers and storytellers. In total, more than 30 songs are known, the main theme of which is love for the homeland, faith in a happy life and protest against social injustice. By the way, he was the first to speak that these songs really belong to the authorship of Vasily Manchaara himself, my father Gabriel Popov in the collection “Manchaara Bahilaii compiled by him in the year.

Yryaalartouktar song-improvisation. " Indeed, Manchaara was later included even in the reference book “Writers of the Olonkho Earth” in the quality of the pharmacist. Later they started talking about him as olonkhosut. In the photo: year. The drawing of Ergis skull Manchaara on the picture of O. preserved photographs and drawings from those excavations. In the second case, the skull, considered belonging to Manchaara, was seized.

A sculptural portrait of Vasily Manchaara, which we can see in the museum of local lore, was recreated on this skull. This is the work of the Soviet anthropologist and sculptor Galina Lebedinskaya, a student of the famous M. Gerasimov, the author of his own method of restoration of the face on the existing skull. Even then, there were rumors that the remains dug in the year could not be those that were dug up in m.

And even more so fake the ashes of a noble robber. In our century, this can be installed more precisely. Modern methods of DNA analyzes appeared, according to which, comparing, comparing with the genetic materials of the blood relatives of Manchaara, to establish the belonging of the skull on the principle of "he is not him." However, the skull took to Moscow at the Institute of Archeology was not lucky.

Unfortunately, he was lost. In the photo: Photo of the manchair skull year Kraniotek, the storage of skulls was in the basement, which was flooded, and the inscriptions on many tags became not readable. Therefore, it is not possible to find and accurately install the skull, considered the skull of Manchaara. The local historians do not lose heart. They find evidence of old -timers that the excavations of those years were conducted “from the Balda”, therefore, the remains of Manchaara were calculated by other people's remains.

And therefore, there is a chance to find his real burial. In recent years, Bologa UUS in recent years of establishing the exact location of the grave of Vasily Manchaara and the search for opportunities to attract archaeologists to the search for real remains of the national hero is actively engaged in local historian, blacksmith and writer Nikolai Arzhakov - Bologna Uus.

We met with him and talked on this subject to clarify the situation. Do you continue the case to establish the facts of the burial of V. Manchaara and the involvement of archaeologists to the exhumation of archaeologists? Among them, I was of particular interest to me by the drawing of Ergis from April 23, taken from a photograph of a mummified skull.

Ergis personally made a record under the sketch: “The drawing from the skull V. probably painted from the picture of the head, which was dug up from the grave by a folklorist Olga Ionova, earlier in the area of ​​Saiyi AIA5A in the Nyurba Malzhagar and was mistaken for the head of Manchaara. After photographing, the head was placed back, and the grave was buried. Further, in the scientific world it is believed that in the year the same grave was excavated by archaeologist Ivan Konstantinov.

This time, their heads were removed from the grave and taken to Moscow to the Institute of Archeology and Ethnography. Anthropologist Galina Lebedinskaya carried out work with the skull according to Gerasimov’s methods to reconstruct the appearance of a person on the skull. As a result, the Yakut Museum of Local Lore received a seemingly realistic portrait of Vasily Manchaara.How to doubt the results of excavations spent only 70 years after the death of the buried?

There is a picture of this skull, taken by Ivan Anisimov, a participant in the Konstantinov expedition in m. There we see a disfigured skull without the upper and lower jaws. This is clearly not the skull that Olga Ionova photographed in M, reduced at the same time George Ergis. Therefore, these skulls were seized from different graves. Timofeev-Tereshkin from the words of those who live the famous robber with their own eyes.

All eyewitnesses described Manchaars as the owner of all their strong teeth. That is, there is a considerable probability that both of the skull known in the drawing and picture do not belong to the remains of Vasily Manchaara. Therefore, it is possible that its remains can be in the same place as buried. Some information even got into Yakuto -speaking newspapers, but went unnoticed.

For example, Anna Ivanovna Sidorova G. turned out to me, Olga Ionova had two guides to the grave of Manchaara. This is her father Ivan Ilyin and Gerasim Soloviev. First, explicitly excavated other remains. Then my father told my older brother Vasily Ilyin, the honorary geologist of the YAASSR, that the seconds of a man in thin suede clothing were dug up, apparently completely ancient burial.

Ivan Ilyin was very surprised by the clothes from the second burial. As you can see, excavations were carried out not at the exact instructions of the expert, but in a completely random way. In the memoirs of Vasily, however, there is an indication and description of the approximate place of burial. Mikhail Aleksandrovich Stepanov also showed on the map a possible burial place on the map.

This place approximately coincides with the stories of the Ilyins. There is also a dozen evidence. Some even the coordinates reported. Fortunately, these days are descendants of his relatives. They even collected genetic material from them. They are not against the searches and the exhumation of his remains. My task in this matter is to attract the attention of the public and interested scientific organizations.

Maybe then who will begin to move? Konstantinov of the year. Identify the ill -headed dust. Select genetic material and compare with the materials of blood relatives. If it is Vasily Manchaara, then put a memorial. If the data does not coincide, then continue the search in the places indicated by the Ilyin and Stepanov. Allegedly, the prototype of the monument was Nikita Ivanov, the head of the Maljar nursing of the Nurbin ulus, as they wrote, the direct great -grandson of the national hero.

Allegedly, the author of the monument - sculptor Afanasy Romanov said this. At least, the media affirmed. In another material, the author of the sculpture says: “It doesn’t matter who bronze Manchaara is like face to face. He has a type, like a Zarechny Yakut. ”
