From the book Explanatory Bible. Volume 5 author Lopukhin Alexander1. A good name is better than an expensive suit, and the day of death is the day of birth. 2. It is better to go to a house of mourning for the dead than to go to a house of feasting; for such is the end of every man, and the living shall add it to his heart. 3. Complaining is better than laughter; because the sadness of the face makes the heart better. 4.
(11): And I turned, and I saw under the sun that it is not for the agile that a successful run, not for the brave victory, not for the wise bread, and not for the prudent wealth, and not for the skillful, favor, but time and chance for all of them.
1. "A living dog is better than a dead lion" (1-10)
The words "under the sun" are repeated frequently in this book. They mean that the author views the world from a human point of view. If we consider death as the end of everything, then this is the fate of everything and everyone. In this case, life "under the sun" is meaningless. However, the author found three truths about life under the sun: 1) it is better to be alive than dead - a live dog is better than a dead lion; 2) what you do, do it with joy; 3) What you do, do it with all your might.
2. "Not agile gets a successful run" (11-18)
One more thing. Success and happiness do not necessarily come from the able. God controls the life of every person, as well as this world. His wisdom is better than strength, even if this wisdom is not recognized by others. God gives His wisdom to those who fear Him and see the world from His point of view.
Prayer: Lord, grant me wisdom; help me to work hard.
One word: Success does not come to the agile
The escape
"Better to be a dead lion than a live dog"
Written before his death by a deserter
On February 8, junior sergeant Alexander Pukhov, armed with a machine gun, escaped from military unit #2133 of the North-Western Border District. Having shot the driver of the Khleb van along the way, he set off towards the border with Estonia. The policemen managed to block the deserter. In the battle with them, the sergeant shot himself in the head with a machine gun.
The border part #2133 is located near the village of Lebyazhye, on the coast of the Gulf of Finland. Its main task is to protect the state border from the sea.
On Sunday morning, junior sergeant Alexander Pukhov, who was on duty at the outpost, opened the weapons room, stole an AKS-74 assault rifle, 8 magazines (25 rounds each), 2 bayonet-knives and binoculars from it, after which he fled. His disappearance was discovered after one and a half to two hours. The officers of the frontier post immediately informed the officers on duty in the North-Western border district, the Central Internal Affairs Directorate of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region and the FSB. Plan "Ring" was put into action. Special forces, border guards and employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs took part in the operation to search for and capture an armed deserter.
At about 18.30, the search group found Pukhov near the village of Sosnovy Bor. Seeing the policemen, the deserter shouted: "I am a violator of the state border!" and opened fire with a machine gun.
On the offer to surrender, Pukhov refused and continued to shoot. Luckily the bullets didn't hit anyone. The deserter was also fired back. From time to time the shooting died down and the capture team tried to convince the deserter to lay down their arms.
But he wasn't about to give up. To the parliamentarians who went to the forest where the sergeant was hiding, he handed over a note addressed to his parents. "I had to do it, although I lost," it said. "Better to be a dead lion than a live dog."
During the shootout, Pukhov was wounded in the leg, after which he, probably not finding a better way out, decided to shoot himself. At about 12 o'clock at night, he shot himself in the head with a machine gun. When the police found Pukhov, he was still alive. Next to him lay a machine gun, two empty magazines and a scattering of spent cartridges.
On the morning of February 9, doctors operated on the sergeant in the Sosnovy Bor hospital. According to them, now Pukhov is in a critical condition.
In all likelihood, it was Pukhov who shot the driver of the Khleb van. His corpse with a gunshot wound to the heart was found on February 8 on the shores of the Gulf of Finland. In any case, the series of shell casings left at the crime scene matches the series of cartridges that the sergeant stole from the outpost.
According to the press service of the North-Western Border Circle, Pukhov, drafted into the army in the fall of 1996, "had a psychological breakdown, expressed in a manic manifestation of aggressiveness." So far, nothing is known about whether Pukhov was under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of his escape. Although the border guards themselves do not exclude this, as well as the fact that Pukhov fled because of hazing.
According to the prosecutor's office of the North-Western border district, investigating the incident, in the coming days, investigators will conduct a comprehensive check of the outpost, from which the sergeant escaped.
