The Year of Civic Engagement and Volunteering, declared by decree of the President of the Russian Federation, calls to help others and change the world for the better. The word "volunteer" in translation means "volunteer". Very soon, it began to designate not those who volunteered for the war, but those who disinterestedly, gratuitously do good deeds, help people or animals, work for free for the benefit of those in need. Let's remember the books and the most famous literary characters who have been noted for their achievements in the field of volunteerism.
The poems of Agnia Barto from the cycle "Vovka - a kind soul" are one of the first works, getting acquainted with which, children will learn why it is necessary to do good deeds and help others. The main character is only five years old, but his responsibility is developed beyond his years. Vovka will help calm down capricious babies, replace her older brother for a little girl, and clear the football field together with the wind. Vovka performs most of the good deeds in relation to friends, relatives, pets, but in the poem "Hot" he arranges a real volunteer action. When the city of Zagorsk is exhausted from the summer heat, “Vovka is a kind soul, and even three kids, and even eight boys” make paper fans and distribute them to citizens exhausted by the heat.
The poems of Agnia Barto not only give a positive example to children, but also remind adults how important it is not to destroy the sprout of goodness. In the final part of the cycle, Vovka becomes older and begins to be embarrassed by his nature: he is embarrassed "to be such a good-natured person at a mature age." The boy is going through a serious personality crisis and is trying to become harsher, only now no one comes to his aid.
Usually books imbued with ideology are doomed to oblivion. The story of Arkady Gaidar "Timur and his team" managed to survive the collapse of the socialist system, and the name of its main character became a household name. Modern volunteers are still called "Timurovites" by the older generation. In a dacha village near Moscow, a group of teenagers led by Timur Garaev secretly helps the families of Red Army soldiers: they carry water, stack firewood in a woodpile, and find missing pets. Timurovites mark the houses of their wards with a red star. The activities of the boys are not limited only to peaceful labor. They win a convincing victory over the gang of chieftain Mishka Kvakin - the destroyers of country gardens.
Surprisingly, A. Gaidar was almost repressed for the story “Timur and his team”. How is it - the independence of children, not sanctioned by the authorities? But, fortunately, it worked out. The book has become a favorite for many children, and its characters are an example. The writer also could not part with the characters, and two sequels appeared: the screenplays "Commandant of the Snow Fortress" and "Timur's Oath". The story "Timur and his team" was filmed twice - already in 1940, the second film adaptation - in 1976.
The children wanted to imitate the heroes of their favorite book! The first Timur detachment was created in the very city where A. Gaidar wrote his story - Klin, Moscow Region. The first Timurites were 6 students of the local school 2. The Great Patriotic War caused a surge of children's and teenage charitable volunteering. Timur detachments were organized in schools, orphanages, at the Pioneer Houses ... Only in the RSFSR there were more than 2 million Timurites. They patronized hospitals, families of officers and soldiers, orphanages and gardens, helped to harvest, worked for the defense fund. After the war, Timurovites helped veterans of war and labor, the elderly, looked after the graves of fallen soldiers. Timurovites also appeared in the countries of Eastern Europe, and even in Vietnam.
In the post-war life of Russia (USSR) great importance had a search job. That's where the predecessors of today's search engines are! About how the guys study military events, learn about exploits and confirm the words "no one is forgotten, nothing is forgotten" - tell such books as the story from the cycle about Krosh by A. Rybakov - "The Unknown Soldier" and the story by Yuri Yakovlev "Kingfisher" .
Not having entered the institute, Sergey Krasheninnikov (Krosh) comes to his grandfather in a small town and gets a job in a road construction team. During the work, builders discover a soldier's grave. Krosh takes on the identification of the deceased soldier, simultaneously struggling with manifestations of human indifference and callousness. The narrative runs parallel to two plots in the present and during the war.
A little older than Vasil, Zoya and Marat was a small boy (Kingfisher), whistling like an oriole, wearing a jacket fastened with two buttons. It was he who jumped with a parachute behind enemy lines, blew up the bridge ... And then he found out that if he was not found, then the hostages would be shot - almost half of the village. And he himself gave himself into the hands of the Nazis, who shot him ... but maybe he still survived? And, perhaps, this is the children's own teacher - Sergey Ivanovich? The screen version of the story was made in 1972.
But in the late Soviet era, sprouts of formalism appeared in many children's voluntary organizations. The main thing for a false grief - a pathfinder - to become famous, to bring an exhibit to the museum ... but what will happen to those for whom the last letter from a loved one from the front is all that is left, a priceless relic? This is the story of B. Vasiliev "Exhibit ...".
"I Care" is not just a book. Not just exciting stories about contemporaries who, for various reasons, began to help others, written by one of the most famous and original figures in Russian journalism, Svetlana Sorokina.
Any person can be a volunteer, even if they do not belong to any voluntary organization. And he can help those who cannot ask for help at all - unlike people. For example, there are many stories by the already mentioned writer Yuri Yakovlev about children who selflessly help others. But the story "Ledum" stands out among all. Why is Costa the average middle school student high school falling asleep during class?
It turns out that he absolutely disinterestedly walks with dogs - all the time different. With strangers. The owner of the setter walks with a crutch and cannot move much. There is no one to look after the boxer at all - the owners have left, and the dog lives on the balcony, and you also need to feed the poor fellow. The boy - the owner of the dachshund - is sick. And the fourth ward dog of Costa is waiting on the seashore. Waiting for the owner, who died. Here is such a story of a kind boy - a silent man who loves animals and knows nature (for example, when rosemary blooms). And with this story, the writer seems to be telling us that any of us can become a volunteer. This means that the Year of the Volunteer is the most, that neither is, our year. There is always someone nearby who is waiting for our help and needs it.

Robin Hood: Take from the rich and give to the poor
Volunteering as a social phenomenon takes shape only in the second half of the 19th century, but people who are ready to selflessly help those in need have always existed. If you try to recall literary characters who can stand up for widows, protect orphans, defend the rights of the disadvantaged, the name of the hero of English folk ballads, the noble robber Robin Hood, will immediately come to mind.
The legendary shooter from Sherwood Forest made money for good deeds in an illegal way - he robbed the rich. However, the harsh Middle Ages stood in the yard, when grant competitions, crowdfunding platforms and social protection did not yet exist. In addition, the gang of Robin Hood did not touch those who lived on honest labor.
Of course, the noble robber and his associates from Sherwood Forest can only be called volunteers with a stretch, but libraries stubbornly include collections of ballads about them in the literature lists for the Year of the Volunteer. The share of common sense is present here, because the "nice guy" Robin Hood has become an eternal image that embodied the hopes of the disenfranchised and oppressed.
Vovka is a kind soul: do not destroy the sprout of good
The poems of Agnia Barto from the cycle "Vovka - a kind soul" are one of the first works, getting acquainted with which, children will learn why it is necessary to do good deeds and help others.

When the city of Zagorsk is exhausted from the summer heat " Vovka is a kind soul, and even three kids, and even eight boys"make paper fans and distribute them to heat-weary citizens.
The poems of Agnia Barto not only give a positive example to children, but also remind adults how important it is not to destroy the sprout of goodness. In the final part of the cycle, Vovka becomes older and begins to be ashamed of his nature: he is embarrassed "in adulthood such to be some good-natured man." The boy is going through a serious personality crisis and is trying to become harsher, only now no one comes to his aid.

The story "Timur and his team" by Arkady Gaidar managed to survive the collapse of the socialist system, because the name of its protagonist has become a household name. Modern volunteers of the older generation are still called "Timurovites".
In a dacha village near Moscow, a group of teenagers led by Timur Garaev secretly helps the families of Red Army soldiers: they carry water, stack firewood in a woodpile, and find missing pets. Timurovites mark the houses of their wards with a red star. The activities of the boys are not limited only to peaceful labor. They win a convincing victory over the gang of ataman Mishka Kvakin - the destroyers of country gardens.
The story of Arkady Gaidar not only taught the younger generation good, but also prepared for the coming war - every page is permeated with foreboding. At a young age, the craving for rash acts is especially strong, but Arkady Gaidar's book reminds us that running to the front is not best idea for the boy ( all chiefs and commanders are ordered to drive our brother from there in the neck"), if you can serve the Motherland by selfless work in the rear.

In modern Russian, the word "volunteer" has a purely peaceful meaning and is associated mainly with the social sphere. Initially, this was the name of the volunteer soldiers. One of the most striking examples of military volunteering in domestic literature- this is the hero of Boris Akunin's detective novels Erast Fandorin.
After the tragic events described in the novel "Azazel", the detective experiences a mental breakdown. He, a titular adviser through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, did not face the prospect of becoming a participant in hostilities. Fandorin himself decided to go to the Serbian-Turkish war as a volunteer. He was prompted to a desperate act by "selfish considerations": " the sight of someone else's pain makes it easier to survive your own".
Fandorin ended up at the front two weeks before the defeat of the army of the Serbian commander-in-chief Mikhail Chernyaev, after which he had to wander through the mountains and shoot himself (" Thank God, I don't think I hit anyone."), be captured and make a successful escape, save a lost girl and help the Russian army expose a dangerous spy.
Hermione Granger: learning from mistakes

The main character of the Harry Potter novels, Hermione Granger, is more often perceived as an intellectual, less often as good friend and just beautiful. In between lessons and cramming, the top honors student at Hogwarts found time to social activities. Hermione grew up in a family of ordinary people and, having learned about the mores of the magical world, was outraged by the plight of the house elves, who are enslaved by wizards.
To remedy the situation, the girl created an organization designed to change the status of magical creatures. Only her friends joined the ranks of the movement, and even then with obvious reluctance. Perhaps there would have been more volunteers if it were not for the dubious name of GAVNE - Civil Association for the Restoration of Elven Independence (in the original it sounds SPEW and is translated as "vomit"). The oppressed beings themselves did not object to slavery, and Hermione's attempts to knit clothes for them or demand a salary were perceived as an insult.
Failures did not dampen morale. Hermione learned from her mistakes and continued to fight injustice with other methods. Becoming an employee of the Ministry of Magic, she managed to bring a lot of positive changes in the life of the wizarding world.
