Everyday life eastern harem Kaziev Shapi Magomedovich
Sultan is a dangerous profession
Sultan is a dangerous profession
The history of the Sultan's dynasties eloquently testifies that the danger of conspiracy, murder, and overthrow from the throne has always existed, like a shadow of the throne of the padishah. Therefore, taking care of one's own safety was one of the main "professional" duties of the Sultan. And in this matter of national importance, the sultans preferred excesses to shortcomings.
Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin wrote in The Fountain of Bakhchisarai:
Giray sat downcast;
Amber smoked in his mouth;
Silently servile yard
He crowded around the terrible Khan.
... Does revenge burn bloody,
Did he open a conspiracy in the army,
Are the peoples of the mountains afraid,
Or the machinations of the crafty Genoa?
No, he misses warfare,
Tired formidable hand;
War is far from thoughts.
Is it treason in his harem
The path of crime has entered,
And the daughter of bondage, neg and captivity
Giaur gave her heart? ..
Robert van Gulik gives an example from Chinese history: “Because the emperor was especially vulnerable to attack while playing with women, his security was ensured in the most rigorous manner. All doors leading to the inner apartments were kept closed and heavily guarded. In order to prevent any attempt by women to attack their reigning lover, the palace enforced ancient custom, according to which a woman who was to share a bed with the emperor was stripped naked, wrapped in a cloak and taken to the imperial chambers on the back of a eunuch. Thus, there was no way she would be able to hide the weapon on her.”

St. Petersburg is home to quite a few masters of culture, people from the North Caucasus. There are quite a few Chechens here working in different areas. Among them is a wonderful artist, Sultan Shamsutdinovich Abaev.
He was born in 1954 in the Kyrgyz village of Khaidarkan. Times are not easy for people of Chechen nationality. After all, in 1944 there was an eviction of the population of the Chechen-Ingush ASSR to Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, and then in 1957 there was a restoration of the republic. In 1958, Sultan was four years old when his parents, together with him and his younger brother Lechi, returned to their homeland. There began new life. In the late 60s, Sultan Abaev studied at the Grozny art studio and art school visual arts. The artist Viktor Lamtyugin was then the director and teacher of Sultan Abaev. Viktor Petrovich was at that time a well-known artist of Checheno-Ingushetia. He instilled in his student a love for the traditions of the Russian realistic school. Further, in 1974-1978, Sultan Shamsutdinovich studied at the Makhachkala art school, which at that time was leading in the North Caucasus. After graduation, he went to the Argun art studio, where Sultan worked for a short time and in 1981 entered the Leningrad Institute of Sculpture, Architecture and Painting named after I.E. Repin, as the famous academy was then called arts.
Sultan Abaev studied in Leningrad for six years. In 1987, he graduated from the institute and stayed in our city, but despite this, the artist does not break ties with his homeland, he traveled to his native Baysangur. Baysangur is the village of Novogrozny.
It is noteworthy that from 1987 to 1991, the Bulletin of the Academy of Arts was published, in which articles were published about artists living in Leningrad, including Chechen ones. But then, after the collapse of the USSR in 1991, the publishing house was closed. In 1994, the war began in Chechnya, for the Sultan it was a serious test. The fatal year of 1994 was a blow not only to the entire Chechen people, but also to Russia as a whole. The first channel of Russian television showed all the events related to the hostilities in the North Caucasus. The war affected not only the Chechen Republic but also neighboring Dagestan in 1999. The second company of 1999-2003 crossed out everything. Despite the war, Sultan Abaev, like other Chechen artists of St. Petersburg, tried to paint pictures on peaceful themes that create a positive mood. For many years of his work, he has done many works dedicated to the historical life of the Motherland and its national history. One of his works is dedicated to the famous Chechen-Ingush towers. It was written in the initial period of the post-war revival of the republic in 2004. The towers standing against the backdrop of a peaceful sky personify eternity itself. There is a legend that they appeared even before the appearance of the Chechens on earth. And on the map of the master, they are a symbol of eternal life. The artist tried to make the work so that there was not even a hint of war. The towers, by their very antiquity, personify the peaceful life of not only Chechens. They belong to all mankind and belong to him for all eternity.
