Character History
Tsar Saltan is a generous and naive ruler, appearing in the fairy tale Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin. The author created the image of a large child, wrinkling, blindly believing the court lingerie and dreaming about simple happiness.History of creation
To one of his most famous her fairy tales, Alexander Pushkin was several years old, throwing notes in a notebook for the future work and thinking over the filing form. The writer even thought about the story of Tsar Saltan to present in prose. As an artistic frame, the author took a folk fairy tale "knee legs in gold, on the elbow of his hands in silver," added the stories of Nanny Arina Rodionov and Quilichki, overheard from the common Luda. In once the links in Mikhailovsky deprived of freedom to choose a place of residence, the poet communicated a lot with the people - Korotal in the evening in the society of peasants and yard.
By the summer of 1831, Pushkin took part in the venture of Vasily Zhukovsky, who offered several writers to try forces in folk art. Alexander Sergeevich put on the "competition" "a fairy tale about Tsar Saltan", though, then again I was rewritten. The first who heard the creation of the author's mouth was Nicholas I. In 1932, it appeared as part of a collection of writer's writer.
The solemn and long name "Tale of Tsar Saltan, about his son's glorious and mighty Bogatyr Prince Gwidone Saltanovic and the wonderful princess swans" was chosen in imitating to the lobal narratives. Inventing the name of the chief hero, Pushkin was witty reddished the double title "Tsar Sultan", turned out to be colorful, pointing to the eastern roots, but with a Slavic tint name.
The glorious son of Saltana Gvidon is named Western European manner. The names of the Father and Son are symbolic, personify the confrontation of the West and the East. Another bright character of the work - Tsarevna Swan - completely taken from Russian folklore: Alexander Sergeevich entered its features of Vasilisa Promutra.
Critics met the work coldly, among them there were those who suspected that Pushkin loses talent. A flurry of accusations hit the poet that he failed to convey the color of the Russian folklore, giving out only a pathetic similarity of the folk sample. Only in the 20th century, criticism began to sing the laudatory OD to the product.

Characteristic Tsar Saltana
The main character of the work is presented in a comic key. The appearance of the Hero of the Tsarist is a solid beard, a suitable robe, consisting of red boots and a long raincoat with elegant patterns embroidered with gold. However, the character is not at all autocrat.
Tsar Saltan, Gulling, good-natured and fair, is the ideal of the king-father for the Russian people. It is easily deceived by the environment, but the congenital ability to forgive makes the hero to close on all eyes and live in the world of illusions.

At the end of the 19th century, composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov wrote a magnificent opera, who survived many productions.
In our time, the music was used by the Olympic champion Maria Kiselev in the author's performance on the water "Tale of the Tsar Saltan", which still chains the tour in Russia. Water fairy tale is a mix of sports and art where the actors of a circus, choreographers, champions on synchronous swimming are involved, jumping into water and aquabike. In an interview, Maria Kiselev celebrated:
"For each performance, we write original music. Now we went further - in the new show, the classical music of the Roman Corsakov will sound, which was specially written for the "Tsar Tsar Saltan", but in the original processing. It will be perfectly combined with action on the site. "The work entered into the cinematic heritage. For the first time, Pushkinsky creation captured on the film in 1943. Directed by Valentine and Zinaida Brumberg created a black and white cartoon in which Saltan tells the voice of actor Mikhail Zharov. Color cartoon saw the light much later - in 1984.
