GRAVE OF THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER

In December 1966, on the 25th anniversary of the defeat of the Nazi troops near Moscow, the ashes of the Unknown Soldier were transferred to the Alexander Garden from the 41st kilometer of the Leningradskoye highway – the place of bloody battles.

On May 8, 1967, the memorial architectural ensemble “Tomb of the Unknown Soldier” was opened.

The eternal flame of glory, escaping from the middle of a bronze military star, was lit from a flame blazing on the Field of Mars in St. Petersburg. “Your name is unknown, your feat is immortal” – inscribed on the granite slab of the tombstone.

To the right, along the Kremlin wall, there are rows of urns where the sacred land of hero-cities is kept.

battles at the intersection of the Leningrad and Lyalovskoye Shosse

On an unusual episode of the battle in 1941. He spoke in 1967 to the builders of Zelenograd, who helped to build a monument with the T-34 tank, an eyewitness to a brutal fight for 41 th kilometer: “German armored vehicles were approaching along the highway from the side of Chashnikov … Suddenly our tank moved towards them. Having reached the intersection, the driver jumped into the ditch on the move, and a few seconds later the tank was hit. A second tank followed. History repeated itself: the driver jumped, the enemy shot, another tank cluttered the highway. So a kind of barricade of wrecked tanks was formed. The Germans were forced to look for a detour to the left

An excerpt from the memoirs of the commissar of the 219th howitzer regiment Alexei Vasilyevich Penkov (see: Proceedings of the GZIKM, issue 1. Zelenograd, 1945, p. 65-66): “By 13 o’clock the Germans, having concentrated superior forces of infantry, tanks and aviation , broke the resistance of our neighbor on the left … and through the village of Matushkino, tank units entered the Moscow-Leningrad highway, semi-surrounding our rifle units and began shelling firing positions with tank guns. Dozens of German dive bombers hung in the air. Communication with the command post of the regiment was broken. Two divisions deployed for all-round defense. They shot at German tanks and infantry with direct fire. Chuprunov, I and the signalmen were 300 meters from the firing positions of the batteries on the church bell tower in the village of B. Rzhavka.

With the onset of darkness, the Nazis calmed down and fell silent. We went to see the battlefield. The picture for the war is familiar, but terrible: half of the compositions of gun crews died, many commanders of fire platoons and guns failed. 9 guns, 7 tractors were destroyed. The last wooden houses and barns on this western outskirts of the village were burning down. ..

On December 1, near the village of B. Rzhavka, the enemy only occasionally fired mortars. On this day the situation stabilized…

AN UNKNOWN SOLDIER DIED HERE

Newspapers at the beginning of December 1966 reported that on December 3, Muscovites bowed their heads in front of one of their heroes approaching our harsh days on December 14, died on December 14 to Moscow. In particular, the Izvestia newspaper wrote: “… he was slain for the Fatherland, for his native Moscow. That’s all we know about him.”

On December 2, 1966, representatives of the Moscow City Council and a group of soldiers and officers of the Taman division arrived at the place of the former burial place on the 41st km of the Leningradskoye Highway around noon. The Taman soldiers cleared the snow around the grave and proceeded to open the grave. At 2:30 pm, the remains of one of the soldiers resting in a mass grave were placed in a coffin, twined with an orange-black ribbon – a symbol of the soldier’s Order of Glory, on the lid of the coffin in the heads – a helmet of the 41st year. A coffin with the remains of the Unknown Soldier was placed on the pedestal. All evening, all night and the next morning, changing every two hours, young soldiers with machine guns, veterans of the war, stood in the guard of honor at the coffin.

Cars passing by were stopping, people were coming from the surrounding villages, from the village of Kryukovo, from Zelenograd. On December 3, at 11:45 a.m., the coffin was placed on an open car, which moved along the Leningrad highway to Moscow. And everywhere along the way, the funeral procession was accompanied by residents of the Moscow region, lined up along the highway.

In Moscow, at the entrance to st. Gorky (now Tverskaya), the coffin was transferred from the car to an artillery carriage. An armored personnel carrier with an unfolded combat banner moved on to the sounds of a mourning march of a military brass band. He was accompanied by soldiers of the guard of honor, participants in the war, participants in the defense of Moscow.

The cortege was approaching the Alexander Garden. Here everything is ready for the rally. On the podium among the leaders of the party and government – participants in the battle for Moscow – Marshals of the Soviet Union G.K. Zhukov and K.K. Rokossovsky.

“The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier near the ancient walls of the Moscow Kremlin will become a monument of eternal glory to the heroes who died on the battlefield for their native land, here now rests the ashes of one of those who shielded Moscow with their chest” – these are the words of Marshal of the Soviet Union K.K. Rokossovsky, said at the rally.

A few months later, on May 8, 1967, on the eve of Victory Day, the monument “Tomb of the Unknown Soldier” was unveiled and the Eternal Flame was lit.

Unknown soldiers

This concept itself (as well as memorial) appeared in France when, on November 11, 1920, an honorary burial of an unknown soldier who died in the First World War was made in Paris at the Arc de Triomphe. And at the same time, the inscription “Un soldat inconnu” appeared on this memorial and the Eternal Flame was solemnly lit.

Then, in England, at Westminster Abbey, a memorial appeared with the inscription “Soldier of the Great War, whose name is known to God.” Later, such a memorial appeared in the United States, where the ashes of an unknown soldier were buried at the Arlington Cemetery in Washington. The inscription on the tombstone: “Here lies a famous and honored American soldier, whose name only God knows.”

In December 1966, on the eve of the 25th anniversary of the Battle of Moscow, the ashes of an unknown soldier were transferred to the Kremlin wall from the burial place at the 41st kilometer of the Leningrad highway. On the slab lying on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, an inscription is made: “Your name is unknown. Your feat is immortal “(author of the words – poet Sergei Vladimirovich Mikhalkov).

Used: in the literal sense, as a symbol of all the dead soldiers, whose names have remained unknown.

The absolute style of Jacqueline Kennedy. Photos from a new book about Jacqueline Kennedy

Before marriage, Jacqueline Bouvier was a journalist. At 21, Jackie took over as junior editor of Vogue magazine. Jacqueline worked for half a year in the editorial office of American Vogue,
and then switched to French.

Jacqueline Kennedy didn’t like her wedding dress

Jackie’s wedding dress was made by Ann Lowe. Jacqueline was unhappy with him and said,
that it looks like a lampshade. Thousands of American women subsequently disagreed with her – Kennedy’s wedding dress became a role model around the world. The bride’s vintage lace veil belonged to Jacqueline’s grandmother,
in which she once went down the aisle.

By the way,
John Kennedy believed
that his bride looks beautiful and looks like a fairy. After that, the people called Jacqueline the White House Fairy.

Jacqueline Kennedy’s mother was against a big wedding

Jacqueline recalled
how, shortly before the ceremony, she overheard a conversation between her mother and her future father-in-law. Mother complained about such a huge number of guests (about 1500). “Miss Auchincloss,
I will be brief with you. You are only giving your daughter in marriage,
and at this wedding I have to introduce the country to the future first lady of the United States, ”said Joseph Kennedy. Even then, Jackie knew her future …

Jacqueline Kennedy – owner of ”
Emmy

When John F. Kennedy became President of the United States in 1960,
Jackie had the opportunity to remodel the White House. In her opinion,
in such a place there should be a historical atmosphere,
so Jackie created the Fine Arts Committee,
who financed her project,
and began to buy antique furniture,
dishes and other things
important to American history. In 1962, together with CBS, Jacqueline gave a tour of the White House for American television viewers. Subsequently, for this she received an honorary award”
Emmy” for his contribution to the preservation of the heritage of his country. Now the statuette is stored in the Kennedy Library,
in Massachusetts.

Jacqueline Kennedy endured numerous infidelities of her husband

whom she admired and loved,
cozy family nest
but her love story was gradually losing its fabulous look. John had affairs on the side
and the whole country suspected of his connection with Marilyn Monroe. There was even a legend on the sidelines,
that one day Monroe called the White House and confessed to Mrs. Kennedy about her affair with her husband. Jackie calmly replied: “It’s fine . .. I’m moving out,
and you will solve all my problems.

Jacqueline Kennedy refused to take off her bloodied costume after her husband was murdered

John F. Kennedy’s assassination in Dallas was a shock to the whole country. John died in Jacqueline’s arms. Her pink Chanel suit was covered in the blood of the dead
but even when the next president, Lyndon Johnson, was sworn in (a few hours after Kennedy’s death), Jackie refused to change. “Let everyone see
what did they do?” she said. Since then, this pink suit has become a symbol of grief and a reminder that
what happened on that fateful November day.

Jacqueline Kennedy is credited with an affair with Robert Kennedy

however, every year there are more and more rumors about their secret romance. Was it really? Nobody will know. Based on the memoirs of Kennedy’s contemporaries, it is assumed that
that Jackie is the only woman
whom Robert loved. Not a secret,
that spiritually they were very close,
and after the death of John, it was Bobby who supported and was next to Jacqueline,
caring about her safety.

that their romance lasted three years,
but no one dared to state it openly. Close family members of the Kennedys claim
that by the winter of 1964, Jackie and Bobby had ceased to hide their relationship in the circle of loved ones.

They grew apart,
when Robert entered the presidential race. Jacqueline had a hard time breaking up
because she helped and worried about Bobby in the same way,
as before for John. Soon Jacqueline met the billionaire Aristotle Onassis,
who was much older than her and became her second husband. Robert, or
like his older brother
died as a result of an assassination attempt.

The Kennedy clan is under a family curse

American journalists have suggested a “Kennedy curse”. The chain of tragic deaths of members of an influential clan prompted them to this idea. Father John Joseph Kennedy Sr. and his wife Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy had four of their nine children killed at a young age. John and Jacqueline themselves had two children killed: the first-born girl was born dead,
and the last baby lived for two days.
Their son John F. Kennedy Jr. died in a plane crash at 39years. Robert Kennedy’s son David died of a cocaine overdose at 28.

Jacqueline Kennedy saved Grand Central Station in New York

In 1975, the decision was made to demolish Grand Central Station in New York. jacqueline,
honoring the history of America,
fought furiously against these plans and wrote a letter to the mayor of the city: “Isn’t it cruel,
let our city gradually die,
erasing all monuments,
which he is proud of
until there is nothing left of all its history and beauty,
to inspire our children? If they are not inspired by the past of our city,
where will they find the strength to fight for their future? Americans keep their past
but for the sake of short-term gain, they ignore it and tear down everything of value. Maybe,
Now is the time to make your point
reverse the wave
because we don’t want
to end up in a faceless world of boxes of glass and metal.”

After Jacqueline managed to save not only the station,
but also Lafayette Square in New York.

Jacqueline Kennedy built a successful career as a book editor

Jackie has always had a love of writing and books. So,
after the death of her second husband, Aristotle Onassis, in 1975, Jacqueline moved to New York and became a consulting editor at Viking Press. Until the last days of her life, she worked as a senior editor at Doubleday publishing house and was dedicated to her work.

Jacqueline Lee “Jackie” Bouvier Kennedy Onassis (1929-1994), better known as Jacqueline Kennedy, had an interesting life. She was the wife of the 35th President of the United States, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, and First Lady of the United States of America from 1961 to 1963. After the tragic death of her husband, she married a second time in 1968 to the Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Socrates Onassis. She died of cancer at the age of 64. To this day, she is considered one of the most popular women of the 20th century.

Jacqueline Lee Bouvier was born on July 28, 1929 in the suburbs of New York in the town of Southampton in the family of a Wall Street stockbroker. His father’s name was John Vernou Bouvier III (1891-1957). Mother – Janet Norton Lee (1907-1989) – a secular lady who was engaged in charity and other social activities. His mother was a full-blooded Irish, and his father had English, Scottish and French roots. The girl was brought up in the Catholic faith. Her younger sister Caroline Lee Bouvier was born at 1933 year. To this day she is alive.

As a child, Jacqueline was greatly influenced by her father. She idolized him, and he called his daughter the most beautiful girl in the world. It was thanks to this attitude that Jackie (as everyone called her) developed such qualities of character as independence and individuality. Growing up, she mastered horseback riding and became a passionate rider. She took ballet lessons, read a lot and perfectly mastered the French language, as she liked it very much.

B 19At 35, the girl entered the Chapin School (a day school for girls in Manhattan), where she studied from grades 1 to 6. There she proved herself to be a child with great abilities, but very restless. Teachers said about her: “A sweet, beautiful, smart and aristocratic girl, but the devil is in her.” The mother explained her daughter’s behavior by the fact that she quickly coped with all the tasks, and then began to suffer from boredom.

Jackie as a child and adult

Jackie’s parents stopped living together at 1936, and after 4 years they divorced. The girl had a hard time with the separation of her parents and after that she often began to withdraw into herself, inventing a happy and serene family world. He only existed in her head, but it was a relief.

Soon the mother married a second time to the heir to the oil corporation Hugh Dudley Auchincloss. In this marriage, two children were born. Auchincloss also had children from two previous marriages. Therefore, Jackie had many brothers and sisters. With some of them she quickly got along and became friends. She had a good relationship with her father, but over time she began to have good feelings for her stepfather, who turned out to be an open and cordial person.

After Chapin’s school, the girl attended the Holton Arms School in Maryland from 1942-1944. And then in 1944-1947 at Miss Porter’s private boarding school in Farmington, Connecticut. In this school, she was considered one of the best students and even received a literary award. In the fall of 1947, she entered Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York. In 1949-1950 she lived in France on a study abroad program. And after returning home, she moved to George Washington University, where in 1951 she received a Bachelor of Arts degree in French literature. In the early years of her marriage, she studied American history at Georgetown University.

So we see that the future Jacqueline Kennedy in her early twenties was a very well educated young woman. She decided to apply her knowledge to journalism and got a job as a correspondent for the Washington Times Herald daily. During this period, she met a young stockbroker, John G. W. Husted, Jr. A month after they met, in January 1952, the couple published an engagement announcement in The New York Times. But after 3 months, the engagement was called off, as Jackie found her fiancé immature and boring when she got to know him better.

First marriage – Jacqueline Kennedy

Jacqueline Bouvier and John F. Kennedy belonged to the same social circle and moved among the same people. In May 1952, journalist Charles L. Bartlett introduced them at a formal dinner. From the first minutes of their acquaintance, Kennedy charmed Jackie with his wit. In addition, he belonged to the richest family in America, which also played a role. But you can not reduce everything to mercantile interests. The couple had similar views on Catholicism and literature, so they almost immediately felt mutual sympathy for each other.

On June 25, 1953, the engagement was officially announced, and this beautiful couple married on September 12, 1953 at St. Mary’s Church in Newport, Rhode Island. The wedding ceremony was attended by 700 guests and 1200 guests were present directly at the magnificent wedding reception, which was held at the Hammersmith farm.

The wedding of Jacqueline and John F. Kennedy, the groom sits to the right of the bride

The newlyweds settled in their own home Hickory Hill in the suburbs of Washington. But in the early years of their marriage, Jacqueline Kennedy faced several serious problems. John F. Kennedy had Addison’s disease and suffered from chronic back pain due to a war injury. At the end of 19At the age of 54, he underwent two severe operations on the spine. In 1955, the wife had a miscarriage, and in August 1956 she gave birth to a dead girl.

It wasn’t until November 27, 1957 that Jackie gave birth to a daughter, Caroline, by caesarean section. Later, during the campaign for the re-election of John F. Kennedy to the Senate, the couple posed with their baby daughter. It was noticed that when the wife accompanied her husband to various social events, 2 times more people gathered. In November 1958, John F. Kennedy was re-elected to the Senate for a second term. He stated that his wife’s help in securing the victory was invaluable.

John F. Kennedy announced his decision to become president on January 3, 1960. When the election campaign started, the wife accompanied her husband everywhere, but soon became pregnant and decided not to leave home anywhere, since her pregnancy was always difficult. So Jackie almost did not participate in the campaign, but the woman had good taste, and she dressed stylishly. Therefore, she was often featured in fashion magazines and was even named one of the 12 most exquisitely dressed women in the world.

Elections November 8 1960 years John F. Kennedy defeated his Republican opponent Richard Nixon and became the 35th President of the United States. And on November 25, Jackie gave birth to a boy – John F. Kennedy Jr. by caesarean section. For two weeks she was with the newborn, and all this time the press spoke in small details about the president’s wife and his son. Such national interest in the Kennedy family indicated the new president’s immense popularity.

January 20, 1961, John F. Kennedy took the oath and settled with his family in the White House. From that moment on, Jacqueline Kennedy became the first lady of the United States. In an interview, she said that her priority is to take care of the president and their children.

Jackie has been involved in the restoration of the White House, making its interior more in line with the historical purpose of this building. She devoted much of her time to promoting American art and preserving its history. She contributed to the creation of the National Endowment for the Arts and the development of the National Endowment for the Humanities, which was created under the previous president.

The First Lady often accompanied the President on his business trips

The President’s wife 22 May 1962 years old at the annual ceremony Emmy received an Emmy statuette as an award for a television tour of the White House. The First Lady has made numerous official visits abroad, both with and without her husband. She came to France with her husband and conquered the French with her perfect command of the French language. All newspapers wrote about her with admiration, and John F. Kennedy himself joked: “I have the impression that I am accompanying my wife in Paris, and not she me.”

The First Lady, accompanied by her sister Carolyn Lee Radziwill, toured India and Pakistan. In these countries, she had meetings with many intelligent people, and they all noted the high intelligence of this cheerful and frivolous-looking woman. During the 3 years that John F. Kennedy was in power, his wife visited countries such as Afghanistan, Austria, Canada, Colombia, Great Britain, Venezuela, Greece, Italy, Mexico, Morocco, Turkey.

In early 1963, Jacqueline Kennedy became pregnant again. Accordingly, her official duties were reduced. On August 7, a premature birth occurred 5 weeks ahead of schedule. A boy was born, but he lived only 2 days and died due to the fact that the baby’s lungs were not fully developed. After that, Jackie fell into a state of depression. But the loss of a child brought the couple even closer in their shared grief.

The hardest test for the first lady was November 22, 1963 years old. On this day, she and her husband came to Dallas, Texas, to enlist the support of voters on the eve of a new presidential election. As the presidential motorcade was driving towards the Merchant Mart, where John F. Kennedy was to give a speech, shots rang out.

Texas Governor John Connally and his wife Nellie were sitting in the car with the presidential couple. Jackie wore a bright pink Chanel suit for the occasion. When the first shot rang out, the president’s wife mistook it for a motorcycle bang. Now we know that there were several shots, and at least 3 snipers fired at John F. Kennedy. They were all professionals, so no one but the intended victim was hurt. The only thing is that Connally received a light wound in the back of the same field that hit the president’s neck.

After the crime, the wife followed her mortally wounded husband to the hospital. She was present at the operation, and before her eyes, John died. Jackie refused to take off her bloody clothes. In it, she was also on the plane on which the coffin with the body of the president was taken out of Dallas. During the flight, Vice President Lyndon Baines Johnson took the oath, and the former first lady stood nearby in blood-splattered clothes.

After the funeral, Jacqueline and her children lived in the White House for 2 weeks. She was offered the post of ambassador to France, Mexico or the UK. But she refused these offers. All she asked was to name the space center in Florida after John F. Kennedy. She later publicly expressed her gratitude to the new president for his kindness to her. Jackie bought herself a penthouse on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan so that she could be alone as often as possible.

Later, the widow did a lot to immortalize her five husbands. She initiated the creation of the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum. She carefully followed all the publications relating to her husband so that they would not write slander about him. In this way, she kept the reputation of the 35th president at a high level. One of the US aircraft carriers was named John F. Kennedy.

Second marriage – Jacqueline Onassis

After the assassination of Robert Kennedy (John F. Kennedy’s brother) in June 1968, Jacqueline Kennedy experienced the same bout of depression as after the assassination of her husband. She said, “They kill all the Kennedys. I want to leave this country because I am afraid for my children.” On October 20, 1968, the former First Lady of the United States married her longtime friend Aristotle Onassis. The wedding took place on Onassis’ own island in the Ionian Sea.

Immediately after the wedding, the US Secret Service stopped guarding the president’s widow. And the marriage itself noticeably tarnished the reputation of our heroine: they began to consider it as a betrayal in relation to the memory of her husband and the Kennedy clan. The newspapers began to call Jacqueline “Jackie O”, thereby demonstrating disdain for her. As for solitude, it did not work out, as the paparazzi did not allow the former widow to pass and followed her every step.

A rich husband passed away on March 15, 1975. It soon became clear that Onassis’s affairs were not going as well as they seemed. He had a lot of debt, besides, according to Greek law, a non-Greek widow had inheritance restrictions. After 2 years of litigation, Jackie received compensation from the only daughter of Aristotle. Their total amount was 26 million dollars.

So, at the age of 45, our heroine became a widow for the second time. She returned to the US and decided to find some work, as she was afraid of being alone. Soon she got a job as an editor at Viking Press, where she worked for 2 years. Left this publishing house at 1977 after she was falsely accused of being involved in the publication of We’ll Tell the President. It described the fictional future of President Edward Kennedy (John F. Kennedy’s younger brother) with a description of the assassination attempt on him.

After some time, she got a job at the Doubledy publishing house as an assistant editor. And her old friend John Turner Sargent was the editor. In this publishing house, Jackie worked until her death in 1994. All these years, her close friend was Maurice Tempelsman, an industrialist and diamond dealer. In principle, he can be considered the third, unofficial husband. He is alive to this day, although he was born, like Jacqueline, at 1929 year.

The woman suffered several bruises and was taken to the hospital for examination. There, doctors discovered a swollen lymph node in the groin. But at first he did not cause concern among doctors.

Jacqueline knew no shortage of fans since childhood. Beautiful, sophisticated and stylish, possessing a truly French charm, and even wealthy, she could count on a brilliant party. However, the girl was not going to become a “simple housewife”, about which she made an entry in her personal diary. Thanks to family money, Jacqueline received a good education, becoming a Bachelor of Arts in French literature. By the age of twenty-three, she was engaged to millionaire John Gasted. However, one meeting changed everything: at a party for representatives of the high society of America, the French beauty met and charmed the young and very promising Senator John F. Kennedy, heir to the legendary Kennedy clan. The story of their love developed rapidly: in the police reports of the state of Virginia, there was evidence of a policeman who caught the senator and his beautiful girlfriend in an “obscene occupation” in the car. For the sixties it was a shock. However, Kennedy behaved like an honest man: a year after they met, he proposed to Jacqueline. Their three thousand guests became one of the most colorful and expensive ceremonies in the world.

The life of the senator’s wife completely captured the young ambitious beauty. In fairness, it must be said that the senator also won a lot from this union, and in political terms. America admired the spectacular couple, Kennedy’s career went uphill. Jacqueline, or Jackie, as the people began to call her, supported her husband as best she could, the rumor extolled her as an excellent hostess. According to the recollections of Kennedy’s friends, at any time of the day or night, John could come home with the company – and found the table set there and his wife in full dress. It is not surprising that in one of the interviews to the question “what is Jackie for you?” he answered simply and clearly: “Fairy.”

Except Jacqueline’s true family life turned out to be not fabulous at all. John, who was reputed to be a walker, after his marriage was not going to change his habits. He changed mistresses one by one, throwing stormy parties in expensive hotel rooms and on yachts. During one of these “spree” Kennedy, Jackie went into premature labor. The long-awaited first-born girl was born. John found out about this only a few days later, when he returned home, suspecting nothing. From the unrest experienced, Jacqueline fell ill with a nervous breakdown. However, only those close to him knew about him. In public, she always remained open and friendly.

By the beginning of the seventies Jackie’s situation began to improve. They finally had children with John: first daughter Coraline, then son John Jr. And in 1961, John F. Kennedy became America’s youngest president. Jackie, respectively, the youngest first. And the most beautiful. She was unconditionally recognized as a “style icon”, millions of women copied the clothes and makeup of Mrs. Kennedy. Jackie literally bathed in love and adoration, expensive gifts were sent to her by representatives of all the major powers in the world. The number of jewels was measured in kilograms…

Three years of happiness ended in a nightmare: while in an open car, President Kennedy was shot dead with a rifle by communist Lee Harvey Oswald. Jackie, who was nearby, for the first time lost her head in public: being in a state of shock, she tried to collect particles of the brain knocked out by a shot from the car. When they tried to take her away, she only took her dying husband by the hand and said that she would stay with him. Only on the second day did the family persuade Jacqueline to change her dress, covered with John’s blood… However, she came to her senses before the funeral, showing an example of stamina and courage. The record went around the world as Jackie leans over to his three-year-old son and tells him to go to the coffin and say goodbye to his father.

Despite her subsequent marriage to the Greek billionaire Aristotle Onassis, she will forever remain in America’s memory as Jackie Kennedy. Jacqueline died in 1994, she died of cancer. However, to this day, this woman is a source of inspiration for many designers and “socialites” of the world. But no one can repeat Jackie’s brilliant “French” style.. .

A new first lady has appeared in America and all sorts of tabloids and women’s magazines overnight dubbed Mrs. Obama an icon styles
, citing as a reference, the name of another first lady – Jacqueline Kennedy
.

She passed away in 1994, but after 15 years, her name still remains synonymous with such concepts as absolute taste, sophistication, charm. What was the style of the woman who became for the American people the personification of the fashion of the sixties, the woman whose taste was legendary, thanks to which the so-called “ Jackie style” appeared
”, and everything that she preferred – a haircut, fashionable clothes of certain silhouettes, the style of sunglasses, small handbags and famous hats, turned into a cult American brand.

Not many women in the history of the world have attracted the attention of the whole world. Jacqueline Kennedy
is one of those who succeeded. She was idolized when she was the wife of John F. Kennedy, and after his death, for five years, people sympathized with her and considered her a national treasure.

Marriage with Aristotle Onassis caused anger and bewilderment among Americans. “The second death of Kennedy”, – so the newspapers commented on the marriage of Jacqueline and Aristotle. “Jackie, don’t!”, “Today, John F. Kennedy died for the second time!”, “Jackie married a bank check!”, “Jackie, how could you?” – the press was full of such headlines on the wedding day of Jacqueline and Onassis. But, having slipped off the American pedestal, Jackie still continued to arouse crazy interest.

Opinions about Jacqueline Kennedy
journalists, biographers, contemporaries, are polar and contradictory. This woman was honored with admiration and hatred, admiration and censure.

According to some, she was perfection. She sincerely loved her husband, adored her son and daughter, was very upset by the death of John F. Kennedy, and decided to marry the millionaire Aristotle Onassis for the second time only because life had become empty and meaningless. Many imagined her as prudent and arrogant, claimed that her annual financial bill could make up the budget of a small state, that she constantly changes lovers, attributed to her novels with actors Marlon Brando and William Holden, with John F. Kennedy’s brother, Robert, with the Secretary of Defense of the Kennedy cabinet McNamara and his deputy, Roswell Gilpatrick.

Opponents insisted that she was a shy and very vulnerable person, did not like publicity, knew what suffering and loneliness were. That she was distinguished by delicacy and an amazing sense of tact. That Jackie was able to instantly charm the interlocutor, that she had a genuine interest in people, that she adored literature and art. And the novels are an attempt to stifle the grievances inflicted first by the first husband, a passionate lover of the female, and then by the second husband, rough, domineering, known for his bisexual inclinations.

The feeling of spiritual emptiness and severe depression that happened in her life was associated with several unsuccessful pregnancies, stillborn children and John’s constant infidelities, and the most difficult period, reinforced by alcohol addiction, was associated with the tragic death of her husband President Kennedy, and after some time his brother, very close to her man Robert Kennedy. Sometimes, in unbridled desperation, she told her devoted secretary Nancy Tuckerman and her beloved sister Caroline, who supported her during these years, that she hated: “… this damn America, killing its best people,” that someday this country would kill her too, and her children.

Jacqueline Kennedy, born Jacqueline Lee Bouvier, is an American with French roots through her father, John Bouvier. He provided the family with a completely comfortable existence by playing on the stock exchange. In the 1930s, during the global crisis, the financial situation of the Bouvier family was greatly shaken. When Jacqueline was thirteen and her younger sister Caroline Lee was eleven, her parents divorced. After some time, the girls had a stepfather – Hugh Auchincloss, a not poor man, who is related to the most famous names in America – Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, Tiffany.

In 1951, twenty-two-year-old Jacqueline Bouvier had a private charter college, a year at the Sorbonne, and George Washington University, from which she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in French literature. While still at university, Jackie managed to win a writing competition held by the most popular Parisian magazine Vogue. Her essay on the figures of literature and art who have passed away was recognized as the best among many works. Jackie became an employee of the Washington newspaper The Washington Times Herald. At first, she had to play the role of an errand girl, then followed by a promotion to the position of secretary of the city news department.

When a job opening for the position of “interviewer photographer” came up, Jackie assured the editor that she could take pictures, while she secretly went to a short-term photography course. However, the young journalist did not particularly achieve success in this field. Her former colleagues testified that Jackie’s photographs were not of the best quality, however, as were her interviews.

Jackie worked for the newspaper for only a year and a half. In the spring of 1952, at a dinner with journalist Charles Bartlett, Jacqueline met a young congressman from Massachusetts named John Fitzgerald Kennedy. The meeting was the beginning of her new life and the end of her journalistic career. At 1953, a few days before the wedding with Kennedy, Jackie resigned from the editorial office. A few years later, becoming the mistress of the White House, Jacqueline immediately showed her outstanding taste, starting to remake the interiors, the decor of which, in her opinion, was far from perfect.

John F. Kennedy believed that Jackie
was too “refined” for the Americans. The President said with a grin that it would take them a long time to get used to the image of the first lady with aristocratic manners and impeccable appearance, with an excellent education, which allowed her to be fluent in several foreign languages, with the most elegant wardrobe from Parisian couturiers.

Indeed, America, represented by ordinary people, did not immediately accept it. But still, I accepted and loved it. And not just fell in love, but made her an idol, an object of adoration and imitation. During this period, interest in art, antiquities, and family values ​​flared up with unprecedented force in the New World. And it’s all thanks to Jackie
. For Americans, she became the epitome of good taste style
and excellent manners, her ability to dress caused delight and a wave of imitations.

Admittedly, Jacqueline’s predilection for clothes caused the greatest number of complaints. Jackie’s extravagance and her unbridled love to buy expensive fashionable clothes and all kinds of luxury items were legendary. The exorbitant expenses of his wife were somewhat of a burden to John F. Kennedy. During her first year in the White House, Jackie personally spent more than $100,000 on clothes, jewelry, and visits to beauty salons.

“Do you understand that I only get a hundred thousand a year? Kennedy asked her. “If we didn’t have side income, we would go bankrupt.” After this conversation, Jacqueline asked her press secretary to “hit her arm” if she wanted to buy something expensive. But it didn’t help much. And Jacqueline continued to buy, complaining about the constant lack of money, and John, becoming dismayed when receiving bills from the shops, was nevertheless proud of his wife, whose beauty, taste and exquisite clothes were admired by the whole world.

The first lady received many chic items and jewelry as a gift, for example, Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia gave her a leopard fur coat worth 75 thousand dollars, and King Hassan I of Morocco – a white silk caftan and a huge belt adorned with hundreds of precious stones. De Gaulle’s gift was a watch with diamonds worth $4,000.

After the second marriage, the love of shopping turned into a passion. She began to literally overspend, buying fashionable clothes, interior items, antiques. In the first year of marriage alone, Onassis spent Jackie
over $20 million. Paying bills, the Greek tycoon said: “God is my witness, Jackie suffered a lot, let her buy whatever she wants.”

Over time, the unbridled desire for acquisition began to somewhat embarrass the millionaire. Running into the store for a few minutes, Jackie
could leave a huge amount there, going into a fur atelier for one fur coat, she left him with two. Jacqueline acquired the collections of fashionable clothes of her favorite designers in whole series. The thirty thousand dollars that Onassis gave her every month could not be met. Jacqueline constantly complained to her husband about the lack of money.

If she didn’t have enough money from her own credit cards, she sent the bills to her husband. By the way, money from Onassis’s credit card Jackie
quite cleverly translated into cash. After wearing an expensive toilet only once or twice, she would take it to a thrift store and keep the cash for herself. True, Jackie started this practice while still being the first lady of America. She used the services of the fashionable New York thrift store Encore. Of course, the hostess of the White House did not hand over the clothes herself, her personal secretary did this, she first issued a receipt in her name, and then transferred the money to Jackie’s account.

Aristotle Onassis wondered where his wife puts so many outfits? Jacqueline often wore jeans, discreet T-shirts and sweaters, very simple dresses, skirts and sandals, with the exception of “big exits”. Even the famous rubies with diamonds, donated by Onassis for the wedding, Jackie put on a few times, ordering their copies from the famous jeweler Kenneth Line. It seemed that it was important for her not to wear, but to have.

One of Jacqueline’s passions was shoes. She could buy hundreds of new pairs in a year. They suffered the same fate as fashionable clothes. Once a meticulous Greek nevertheless got to the bottom of the truth, discovering that Mrs. Onassis sends practically new shoes and toilets to a company that buys second-hand goods, and her account is constantly replenished.

One of Jacqueline’s favorite fashion designers during her life with Aristotle Onassis was Valentino. During the second marriage, Jackie was wearing an elegant light beige dress, which was made for her by an Italian couturier. After the photos of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in a Valentino dress went around the world, the phone in the fashion designer’s Rome office literally did not stop. Within a few days, admirers of his talent ordered various variations of this famous dress for themselves.

Legends went not only about Jackie’s ability to spend money, but also about the ability to charm. She conquered the impregnable French President Charles de Gaulle, who said about her: “The only thing I would bring from the USA is Mrs. Kennedy. Mrs. Kennedy is too precious even for the President of USA! She charmed Khrushchev, who was not distinguished by courtesy, the Soviet General Secretary promised to send her a puppy from dogs that had been in space, and he fulfilled his promise.

She delighted the caustic and sarcastic Malraux, French writer, culturologist, hero of the Resistance, who at that time was Minister of Culture in de Gaulle’s government. Even the uncompromising fiery revolutionary Che Guevara, after meeting Jacqueline, said that Jackie
is the only person in the United States he would like to meet, adding pointedly, “But not at the negotiating table. ”

Jacqueline Kennedy
, who became the first lady of America in 1961, was too different from the stereotype associated with this status. Solidity, age, wisdom, just such an image of the hostess of the White House, thanks to Eleanor Roosevelt, was strengthened in the American mind. She was clearly a stranger among the senatorial wives, who were not distinguished by youth, beauty, the ability to flaunt fashionable clothes and teach lessons styles
. They were clearly annoyed at Jackie
her complete indifference to the problems of charity, which has always been done by the wives of major politicians and other rich and powerful people.

Jacqueline Kennedy
crushed American stereotypes. Editors of fashion magazines in enthusiastic tones told readers about the impeccable taste of Madam President, about her design abilities, about her innate sense of style
. After Jackie, contrary to the existing canons, covered the tables in the dining room of the White House with colored tablecloths, most American housewives had the same tablecloths. In every house one could find chairs made of golden bamboo, samples of which Jackie brought from Paris. And how everyone wanted to wear the same clothes as Jackie
!

Jacqueline had a somewhat disproportionate figure with an overly long torso, which made her legs seem a bit short. She did not have very beautiful hands, so she kept in her wardrobe a lot of white gloves, short and long. But no one paid any attention to this. With incomparably great interest, everyone discussed how elegantly things with laconic geometric lines look on her.

Jackie
has also changed the approach to female beauty. She was the exact opposite of the legendary Marilyn Monroe, the buxom blonde American sex symbol of the day. Dark-haired, short-haired, tall and thin, Jacqueline, with forty-one legs and the first breast size, was able to convince the whole world that she was beautiful, not being one. She had a too wide square face and too wide apart eyes. Because of what, she did not really like to be photographed full face. Back at 1951, in an essay for a Vogue magazine competition, Jacqueline wrote: “My eyes are so unforgivably wide that it takes three and a half weeks to make glasses.”

Her behavior and every detail of her appearance were verified to the smallest detail. Jackie
understood what an image was and remained faithful to it. She smoked a pack of cigarettes a day, but almost no photographer managed to capture her smoking. In the photographs, Jackie is always elegant, perfectly combed. She was very attentive to how the camera captures herself and all family members.

After examining herself thoroughly in front of a mirror, Jacqueline, with the help of the famous Washington dressmaker Mini Rea, selected a number of clothing silhouettes that suited her. Jackie paid attention to everything – length, trimmings, waistline, cut of sleeves, location and size of buttons, realizing that the details are everything. What did not suit her was mercilessly swept aside.

Her White House wardrobe included small geometric dresses, pastel-colored A-line coats, for social events and formal occasions, Jacqueline chose long, tight evening dresses, as well as open-top bustier dresses. Sometimes these were floor-length dresses with a cut-off waist in a Dior “flower” silhouette. Jackie preferred a small round neckline, a “boat”, a v-neckline and dresses with one open shoulder to deep cutouts, since these lines emphasized the beautiful line of the shoulders and did not accentuate the small size of the chest.

Also her things were suits with a straight or slightly flared skirt, just below the knee and a short jacket with three-quarter sleeves and sheath dresses.

Jackie’s favorite extras are the legendary pillbox hats, decorative buttons and bows on dresses, gloves of various lengths, low-heeled shoes, thick-rimmed sunglasses, small geometric handbags.

“I feel like I have become public property,” said at the beginning of 1961 years old Jackie
to his friend. During the presidential campaign, the press and society literally did not take their eyes off Mrs. Kennedy. Her haircut, simple lines of clothing, colors that she preferred, enchanted the whole world.

What to do? Mrs. Kennedy really understood what it meant to dress well. She loved luxury, but her taste did not fail, Jackie felt what true elegance is.

Jacqueline Kennedy
, thanks to ‘s absolute sense of style
, it would seem, made a revolution in fashion, but at the same time there was nothing revolutionary in her manner of dressing. She just clearly understood: mine is not mine. Jacqueline brought into fashion, perhaps, her famous pillbox hat, which became a symbol of “ Jackie’s style
“. The origin of this legendary accessory has different versions. It was mentioned in the press that fashion designer Roy Halston copied it for Jacqueline from a hat that Hollywood designer Adrian made for Greta Garbo in 1932. According to Jacqueline’s court designer, Oleg Cassini, this hat was the very model that absolutely suited her.

Mrs. Kennedy was a regular client of French couturiers. It was their design that she considered the reference. “Simple things” from Givenchy, Chanel, Cardin were her passion. But a fan of French design almost found herself at the center of a scandal. The first lady of the United States could not spend tens of thousands of dollars on fashionable clothes from Paris. Attachment to the French style was considered her most vulnerable point. And the Republicans immediately took advantage of this weakness. The wife of Richard Nixon, the main political rival of John F. Kennedy, Pat Nixon, successfully told reporters about her love for American clothes: “I like American designers. In my opinion they are the best in the world. I buy almost all my clothes in Washington DC stores.”

E
that was a serious reason for Jacqueline to urgently review her wardrobe. In addition, significant support for the presidential campaign of John F. Kennedy was provided by the American Ladies “Garment Workers” Union – the trade union of clothing and textile workers in America.

And Jackie began to wear American designer clothes. Among her favorites were Gustav Tassel, Stella Sloat, Ben Zuckerman, Norman Norell, the New York atelier Chez Ninon, and others. One of Jacqueline’s favorite American brands was Lilly Pulitzer. Simple cotton dresses from Lilly Pulitzer with floral patterns were very popular at 1960s.

However, “bowing down” before the American opinion, and having won another plus for herself, Jackie slowly negotiated with fashion designers to make copies of her favorite Parisian designers’ outfits for her. There were also rumors that Mrs. Kennedy received things from the adored Givenchy by mail, ripped off labels from them and sewed on tags with the name of Oleg Cassini.

Oleg Laevsky-Cassini, an American fashion designer of half Russian origin, was chosen as Mrs. Kennedy’s official fashion designer. According to Kennedy family biographers, during her stay in the White House, Jacqueline ordered about 300 dresses from her personal couturier.

Before the inauguration, the fashion designer came to Jacqueline
straight to the hospital to discuss her outfit at the ceremony. Cassini said: “She asked to visit her in the hospital room. Just a few days ago, she gave birth to a son, John. Two months remained before the inauguration. We thought that all the other women would most likely be in furs, resembling bears. My concept was that Jacqueline should look divine and simple – a beige wool coat and a beanie from Halston. It turned out to be correct. As soon as she appeared in public, she immediately stood out among everyone. Jackie Style
appeared instantly. It was not the appearance of a Frenchwoman, not an American, but Jackie. Thus was born her image: sophistication, refined elegance and dissimilarity to others.

From the memoirs of Oleg Cassini: “I was close friends with the Kennedy clan, so there was nothing surprising in the choice of Jacqueline. I created for her an “architectural” silhouette a la an Egyptian princess, in fact, this is how the international fashion for “ Jackie style” appeared in the early 60s.
“. She delighted the world with short coats and long gloves, house hats and asymmetric evening dress with one bare shoulder. In the latter case, I had to persuade the doubting president for a long time. There is a well-known photo where John F. Kennedy sits with his head in pain, in the photo the inscription: “Again these crazy bills from Cassini!” Oleg Cassini called her the Goddess of Geometry. In his book, Cassini wrote: “Jackie often called me on the phone and asked: “Oleg, urgently come to me, I have nothing to wear.” Jacqueline sent Cassini the sketches she had come up with, and carefully ensured that her outfits did not go into circulation: “Make sure that no one wears clothes like me. No one should talk about my outfits ahead of time.”

Jacqueline Kennedy’s most famous outfit, which instantly became part of history, was a pink Chanel suit covered in the blood of the 35th US President, who was assassinated in Dallas in 1963. After some time, Mrs. Kennedy told her friends that the president himself chose this particular suit for her that day. Fashion historians have some disagreements about the legendary suit, many argue that this suit was a copy of the Chanel model, sewn at Chez Ninon, designers which was often made for the first lady replica models of French designers.

Samuil Marshak – Poems for adults

The expanse of the sea is full of movement.
She lies at our feet
And, not forgiving humiliation,
From a running start she beats against the threshold.

Troubling coastal rubble,
The surf drags him along the bottom.
And the surf wave falls
On the outgoing wave.

The desert expanse rumbles, rages,
And from above, from the side
An innocent sickle looks at the seaside
The barely born moon.

April rain passed for the first time,
But the wind carried away the clouds,
Leaving drops of fire
On the bare branches of birches.

Still not dressed in spring
In an outfit of young foliage,
Birch with drops of light
Sparkled from head to toe.

It’s time for bed, but we don’t feel like sleeping. /
How good it is to read in the evenings!
We discovered Don Quixote for the first time,
We wander through the valleys and mountains.

Spanish dust blows over us,
We hear creaking in the sky
Mill wings turn
Above the knight sitting on a horse.

What will happen next, we know from the picture:
The windmill will wave its wing full of holes,
And it will be shot down in an unequal duel
Don Quixote who thrust a spear into it.

But here again he is galloping along the road…
Whom will he meet? Who will fight?
The last knight, skinny, long-legged,
Leads us on our first path.

And from this solemn moment
Forever we leave our father’s house.
Two people are talking: I and the book.
And the whole world is unknown around.

Sometimes the clock deceives us,
So that we live in a more serene world.
They will again show the same hour,
And it is believed that the hour has returned the same.

Deceptive cycle of days and years:
The same day of the week comes again,
And the same month comes again –
As if he had really returned.

We know that the hour is irrevocable,
That there are neither days nor months of return.
But the circle of the calendar and dial
Prevents us from understanding that we are flying.

People write, but time erases,
It erases everything that it can erase.
But tell me, if hearing dies,
Should sound also die?

It becomes duller and quieter,
It is ready to mix with silence.
And not with my ears, but with my heart I hear
This laughter, this chest voice.

My poems are like a potion,
I didn’t boil in a cauldron
I didn’t get hungover
From my own ink.

But clearly and sensibly
Spread out words,
As for a large fire
Suitable firewood.

And soon – as a gift to me,
Although I expected –
Swift and bright,
My fire blazed.

The country cottage barely stops
At the first forest platform,
You hear a transparent voice,
Born by silence itself.

In the forest over a dewy clearing
Cuckoo meets the dawn.
In silence her voice is glassy
Sounds like a question and an answer.

In two sounds, sung by a cuckoo,
Not joy is heard, not sadness.
She tells us that somewhere
there is a very far distance.

Full of hot feeling,
Statues are cold.
From the flame of the wall of art
Should not warp.

Like the vaults of an ancient temple –
Alloy of soul and matter –
Pushkin’s lyrics marble
Slender and majestic

The wind of life does not disturb you,
Like the surface of a lake in winter.
Even a sensitive heart cannot
Your lightest splash to hear.

And you were both loud and fast.
How light were your steps!
And it seemed that sparks were pouring
From your talking hand.

You lived and breathed love,
You set like a generous sun,
Leaving your afterword —
So much light and so much warmth!

Inspiration has its own courage,
Its fearlessness, even daring.
Without this, poetry is paper
And the finest craftsmanship is dead.

But if you see a creature at the battle banner
of Poetry,
Who doesn’t suit a cloak and a sword,
But a scarf and a fan more than anything,

That creature, whose courage and strength
So merged with kindness, simple and sweet,
And kindness, like the sun, warms the world—

You can be proud of such a meeting
And before you say goodbye forever,
Dedicate your last sonnet to her.

Across the blue sky
A roar of thunder passed,
And again everything is silent.

A moment later we hear,
How fun and fast
Through all the green leaves,
Through all the iron roofs,
Through the flower beds, benches,
Over buckets and watering cans
The passing rain knocks.

Flowers quietly sway on the grave
From a light air jet.
And in every sway of unbending lilies
I see your movements.

Sometimes sad, sometimes inconsolable,
You were a stranger to fuss
And you moved harmoniously, inaudibly, slowly,
How strict these flowers are.

Going north, home,
How many times in reality and in a dream
I remembered the stately, straight
Red-finned Karelian pine.

Magnifying her fabulous height.
Yes, she grows on the mountain.
At night she fumbles between the stars
And burns with fire at dawn.

I remembered how in a winter forest,
Without branches from top to toe,
Slightly swaying in the snow in the wind,
Ship pines creak.

And when spring comes,
The trunks become younger, redden.
And the dense thicket is drunk
From the resin heated during the day.

Everything that a person touches,
Acquires something human.
This house, which has served us for a century,
Almost knows how to use speech.

Bridges and lanes are talking,
Balconies are talking to each other,
And lined up at the platform,
Cars say so much to the heart.

Neva has been speaking in verse for a long time.
Nevsky is laid down by Gogol’s page.
The entire Summer Garden is Onegin’s head.
The Islands remember Blok,
And Dostoevsky wanders along Razyezzhaya.
