Текст песни А. Солженицын - Матрёнин двор 5

Matryonin Dvor is the second of Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s stories published in the New World magazine. The author’s title, “A Village Doesn’t Stand Without a Righteous One,” was changed at the request of the publisher to avoid censorship obstacles. For the same reason, the duration of the action in the story was changed by the author to 1953.
Andrei Sinyavsky called this work the “Foundational thing” of all Russian “village literature” [1].
