MSTU). In 1907, Bolotov was approved for a master's degree in applied mathematics for his work. N.E. Zhukovsky's review of this work has been preserved, where it was noted that the main merit of its author is geometric analysis, which made it possible to fully explain all the mechanical aspects of the movement of a material platform.

In 1909-1910, Bolotov taught a course in the theory of elasticity at the Moscow Technical School (his lectures were transcribed and prepared for publication by V. P. Vetchinkin, but were never published). Bolotov wrote course manuals mathematical analysis(published in 1912) and analytic geometry, which he read for many years. Simultaneously with their reading, he conducted exercises in the course of theoretical and analytical mechanics, read by N. E. Zhukovsky.

Zhukovsky highly appreciated Bolotov's lecturing skills:

... His (E. A. Bolotova) brilliant lecturer's abilities are recalled with pleasure by his grateful students at a technical school. He was always able to point out the essence of the problem under consideration in the simplest form. His scientific works “The problem of the expansion of a given screw”, “On the motion of a material flat figure with friction bonds”, “On the Gauss theorem” are distinguished by their simplicity of presentation and originality of thought. The second work was submitted for a master's thesis at Moscow University and served to clarify many paradoxes in the issue of dynamics with friction. Finally, his last essay on some application of Gauss's theorem could be accepted as a doctoral dissertation...

In 1914, on the recommendations of professors A.P. Kotelnikov, D.I. Dubyago, D.A. Goldgammer, N.N. Parfentiev, Bolotov was invited to Kazan University to head the Department of Theoretical and Practical Mechanics. From that time until 1921, he was an ordinary professor at Kazan University in the specified department.

In 1917, E. A. Bolotov was approved as Vice-Rector of Kazan University; On October 19, 1918, he was elected, and on November 12, he was approved as the rector of Kazan University. He left the professorship on January 1, 1919, having resigned as rector; however (after the new election of Bolotov in February as a professor in the department of mechanics), on February 22 of this year he was again elected to the post of rector.

On January 22, 1921, he retired from the post of rector of Kazan University. In the same year (after N. E. Zhukovsky, who headed the Department of Theoretical Mechanics at the Moscow Higher Technical School, died on March 17, 1921), E. A. Bolotov was again invited to the Moscow Higher Technical School to head this department. Bolotov agreed and on December 15, 1921 he was elected professor in the Department of Theoretical Mechanics, but he was in charge of it for less than a year: on September 13, 1922 he died.

Scientific activity

Scientific researches of E. A. Bolotov are devoted to various sections of theoretical and analytical mechanics. His contribution to the theory of screws was his first scientific work- an article in 1893, in which he solved the problem of decomposing a given screw into two screws with the same parameters. Of interest are also the works of E. A. Bolotov in the field of hydromechanics, in which the motion of a heavy incompressible fluid and the effect of wind on the propagation velocity of small waves over the surface of the fluid were studied.

The most important place in the scientific heritage of E. A. Bolotov is occupied by his article “On the Gauss principle”, published in 1916 in Kazan and which is a monograph devoted to a thorough logical analysis of the most general of the differential ones - the Gauss principle of least constraint and a number of its generalizations. In this work, highly appreciated by N. E. Zhukovsky, Bolotov generalized the Gauss principle to the case of the release of a mechanical system from some of the bonds - later this line of research was continued by other representatives of the Kazan school of mechanics: N. G. Chetaev, M. Sh. Aminov and others.

Consider, following Bolotov, a number of generalizations of the Gauss principle.

Gauss principle in the form of Mach - Bolotov

E. A. Bolotov rigorously proved the indicated generalization of the Gauss principle, extending it to the case of the presence of nonholonomic constraints linear in velocities. At the same time, he was the first to point out the need for a rigorous definition of the concept of possible displacement when applying the differential variational principles of mechanics to nonholonomic systems. Later, N. G. Chetaev in 1932-1933. gave a new (axiomatic) definition to the concept of possible displacement and showed that the principle of least coercion in the form of Mach - Bolotov is also applicable to non-linear nonholonomic systems.

The considered generalization of the Gauss principle is of considerable practical interest. For example, it is used in computer simulation of the dynamics of systems of rigid bodies, when, when calculating the constraint (which is minimized by mathematical programming methods), the connections between the bodies of the system are discarded, but not the connections between the points that make up each of the bodies. This generalization is presented in a number of textbooks on theoretical mechanics.

Gauss principle in the form of Boltzmann - Bolotov

The idea of a further generalization of the Gauss principle was put forward in 1897 by L. Boltzmann. He pointed out that in the presence of unilateral ties, the statement of this principle would remain valid if a partial exemption from ties was applied, discarding all one-way links and an arbitrary number of two-way links; however, the justification given by Boltzmann for the position he put forward was not clear and caused a number of reproaches.

Bolotov rigorously proved this generalization of the Gauss principle (now called the principle of least coercion in the form of Boltzmann - Bolotov), while making a remark important for the practical use of the principle.

To formulate it, let us write down (assuming that the restrictions imposed on the speeds of points by one-way connections are made in the form of equalities; those connections that are weakened in terms of speeds do not in any way limit the movement of points in the system at the current moment of time) the conditions imposed, respectively, by two-way and one-way links to accelerations of points:

$a_s\;=\;0\,\;\;s\,=\,1,\, \dots ,\,l\,;\;\;\;\;a_s\,\geqslant\;0\, \;\;s\,=\,l+1,\, \dots ,\,r\,;$

here $l$ is the number of bilateral, and $rl$ - number of one-way connections; non-negative scalars $a_s$ , called bond weakening accelerations, have the form:

$a_s\;=\;\overset()(\overset(N)(\underset(\nu=1)(\sum)))\,\,(\mathbf(c)_(s(\nu))\ ,\,\mathbf(w)_(\nu))\,+\,d_s\,$

where the quantities $\mathbf(c)_(s(\nu))$ And $d_s$ depend on state and time, and when minimizing coercion, they are constants; parentheses denote the scalar product of three-dimensional vectors.

The essence of Bolotov's remark is that when minimizing coercion $Z$ should be considered among all kinematically feasible movements only those for which the acceleration of the weakening of each of the unilateral bonds not less accelerations of their weakening in actual motion.

Bolotov illustrates the procedure for applying the generalized Gauss principle to problems with one-way constraints in relation to the problem of the motion of a weighty homogeneous rod with an end $A$ rests on a smooth horizontal plane $Oxy$ , and the end $B$ can slide along the line of intersection of two other smooth planes $Oxz$ And $Oyz$ perpendicular to the first plane and to each other. Bolotov conducts a complete analysis of this problem and determines the conditions under which one or another end of the rod breaks away from the plane on which it rested. This problem is interesting because, in relation to it, the method of identifying a weakened connection, proposed in 1838 by M. V. Ostrogradsky in his memoir “On instantaneous displacements of systems subject to variable conditions”, gives incorrect results; an error in Ostrogradsky's reasoning was found in 1889 by A. Mayer.

Gauss principle in impact theory

E. A. Bolotov showed that the generalized Gauss principle is also applicable to a number of problems in the theory of impact, but these results are less general, and it is limited only to the case of an absolutely inelastic impact. Bolotov illustrates his method on the already mentioned problem of a weighty homogeneous rod (assuming that a given shock impulse is applied to the center of mass of the rod).

An excerpt characterizing Bolotov, Evgeny Alexandrovich

– That's how! And I pg "puffed up, bg" at, vcheg "a, like a son of a bitch!" shouted Denisov, without pronouncing the river. - Such a misfortune! Such a misfortune! As you left, so it went. Hey, tea!
Denisov, grimacing, as if smiling and showing his short, strong teeth, began to ruffle his thick, black, tousled hair like a dog with both hands with short fingers.
- Chog "t me money" zero to go to this kg "yse (nickname of the officer)," he said, rubbing his forehead and face with both hands. "You didn't.
Denisov took the lighted pipe handed to him, clenched it into a fist, and, scattering fire, hit it on the floor, continuing to shout.
- The sempel will give, pag "ol beats; the sempel will give, pag" ol beats.
He scattered the fire, smashed the pipe and threw it away. Denisov paused, and suddenly, with his shining black eyes, looked merrily at Rostov.
- If only there were women. And then here, kg "oh how to drink, there is nothing to do. If only she could get away."
- Hey, who's there? - he turned to the door, hearing the stopped steps of thick boots with the rattling of spurs and a respectful cough.
- Wahmister! Lavrushka said.
Denisov frowned even more.
“Squeeg,” he said, throwing a purse with several gold pieces. “Gostov, count, my dear, how much is left there, but put the purse under the pillow,” he said and went out to the sergeant-major.
Rostov took the money and, mechanically, putting aside and leveling heaps of old and new gold, began to count them.
- BUT! Telyanin! Zdog "ovo! Inflate me all at once" ah! Denisov's voice was heard from another room.
- Who? At Bykov's, at the rat's? ... I knew, - said another thin voice, and after that Lieutenant Telyanin, a small officer of the same squadron, entered the room.
Rostov threw a purse under the pillow and shook the small, damp hand extended to him. Telyanin was transferred from the guard before the campaign for something. He behaved very well in the regiment; but they did not like him, and in particular Rostov could neither overcome nor hide his unreasonable disgust for this officer.
- Well, young cavalryman, how does my Grachik serve you? - he asked. (Grachik was a riding horse, a tack, sold by Telyanin to Rostov.)
The lieutenant never looked into the eyes of the person with whom he spoke; His eyes were constantly moving from one object to another.
- I saw you drove today ...
“Nothing, good horse,” answered Rostov, despite the fact that this horse, bought by him for 700 rubles, was not worth even half of this price. “I began to crouch on the left front ...” he added. - Cracked hoof! It's nothing. I will teach you, show you which rivet to put.
“Yes, please show me,” said Rostov.
- I'll show you, I'll show you, it's not a secret. And thank you for the horse.
“So I order the horse to be brought,” said Rostov, wanting to get rid of Telyanin, and went out to order the horse to be brought.
In the passage, Denisov, with a pipe, crouched on the threshold, sat in front of the sergeant-major, who was reporting something. Seeing Rostov, Denisov frowned and, pointing over his shoulder with his thumb into the room in which Telyanin was sitting, grimaced and shook with disgust.
“Oh, I don’t like the good fellow,” he said, not embarrassed by the presence of the sergeant-major.
Rostov shrugged his shoulders, as if to say: "So do I, but what can I do!" and, having ordered, returned to Telyanin.
Telyanin sat still in the same lazy pose in which Rostov had left him, rubbing his small white hands.
"There are such nasty faces," thought Rostov, entering the room.
“Well, did you order the horse to be brought?” - said Telyanin, getting up and casually looking around.
- Velel.
- Come on, let's go. After all, I only came to ask Denisov about yesterday's order. Got it, Denisov?
- Not yet. Where are you?
“I want to teach a young man how to shoe a horse,” said Telyanin.
They went out onto the porch and into the stables. The lieutenant showed how to make a rivet and went to his room.
When Rostov returned, there was a bottle of vodka and sausage on the table. Denisov sat in front of the table and cracked pen on paper. He looked gloomily into Rostov's face.
“I am writing to her,” he said.
He leaned on the table with a pen in his hand, and, obviously delighted with the opportunity to quickly say in a word everything that he wanted to write, expressed his letter to Rostov.
- You see, dg "ug," he said. "We sleep until we love. We are the children of pg`axa ... but you fell in love - and you are God, you are pure, as on the peg" day of creation ... Who else is this? Send him to the chog "tu. No time!" he shouted at Lavrushka, who, not at all shy, approached him.
- But who should be? They themselves ordered. The sergeant-major came for the money.
Denisov frowned, wanted to shout something and fell silent.
“Squeeg,” but that’s the point, he said to himself. “How much money is left in the wallet?” he asked Rostov.
“Seven new ones and three old ones.
“Ah, skweg,” but! Well, what are you standing, scarecrows, send a wahmistg “a,” Denisov shouted at Lavrushka.
“Please, Denisov, take my money, because I have it,” said Rostov, blushing.
“I don’t like to borrow from my own, I don’t like it,” grumbled Denisov.
“And if you don’t take money from me comradely, you will offend me. Really, I have, - repeated Rostov.
- No.
And Denisov went to the bed to get a wallet from under the pillow.
- Where did you put it, Rostov?
- Under the bottom cushion.
- Yes, no.
Denisov threw both pillows on the floor. There was no wallet.
- That's a miracle!
“Wait, didn’t you drop it?” said Rostov, picking up the pillows one at a time and shaking them out.
He threw off and brushed off the blanket. There was no wallet.
- Have I forgotten? No, I also thought that you were definitely putting a treasure under your head, ”said Rostov. - I put my wallet here. Where is he? he turned to Lavrushka.
- I didn't go in. Where they put it, there it should be.
- Well no…
- You're all right, throw it somewhere, and forget it. Look in your pockets.
“No, if I didn’t think about the treasure,” said Rostov, “otherwise I remember what I put in.”
Lavrushka rummaged through the whole bed, looked under it, under the table, rummaged through the whole room and stopped in the middle of the room. Denisov silently followed Lavrushka's movements, and when Lavrushka threw up his hands in surprise, saying that he was nowhere to be found, he looked back at Rostov.
- Mr. Ostov, you are not a schoolboy ...
Rostov felt Denisov's gaze on him, raised his eyes and at the same moment lowered them. All his blood, which had been locked up somewhere below his throat, gushed into his face and eyes. He couldn't catch his breath.
- And there was no one in the room, except for the lieutenant and yourself. Here somewhere,” said Lavrushka.
- Well, you, chog "those doll, turn around, look," Denisov suddenly shouted, turning purple and throwing himself at the footman with a menacing gesture. Zapog everyone!
Rostov, looking around Denisov, began to button up his jacket, fastened his saber and put on his cap.
“I’m telling you to have a wallet,” Denisov shouted, shaking the batman’s shoulders and pushing him against the wall.
- Denisov, leave him; I know who took it,” said Rostov, going up to the door and not raising his eyes.
Denisov stopped, thought, and, apparently understanding what Rostov was hinting at, grabbed his hand.
“Sigh!” he shouted so that the veins, like ropes, puffed out on his neck and forehead. “I’m telling you, you’re crazy, I won’t allow it. The wallet is here; I will loosen my skin from this meg'zavetz, and it will be here.
“I know who took it,” Rostov repeated in a trembling voice and went to the door.
“But I’m telling you, don’t you dare do this,” Denisov shouted, rushing to the cadet to restrain him.
But Rostov tore his hand away and with such malice, as if Denisov was his greatest enemy, directly and firmly fixed his eyes on him.
– Do you understand what you are saying? he said in a trembling voice, “there was no one else in the room except me. So, if not, then...
He could not finish and ran out of the room.
“Ah, why not with you and with everyone,” were the last words that Rostov heard.
Rostov came to Telyanin's apartment.
“The master is not at home, they have gone to the headquarters,” Telyanin’s orderly told him. Or what happened? added the batman, surprised at the junker's upset face.
- There is nothing.
“We missed a little,” said the batman.
The headquarters was located three miles from Salzenek. Rostov, without going home, took a horse and rode to headquarters. In the village occupied by the headquarters, there was a tavern frequented by officers. Rostov arrived at the tavern; at the porch he saw Telyanin's horse.
In the second room of the tavern the lieutenant was sitting at a dish of sausages and a bottle of wine.
“Ah, and you stopped by, young man,” he said, smiling and raising his eyebrows high.
- Yes, - said Rostov, as if it took a lot of effort to pronounce this word, and sat down at the next table.
Both were silent; two Germans and one Russian officer were sitting in the room. Everyone was silent, and the sounds of knives on plates and the lieutenant's champing could be heard. When Telyanin had finished breakfast, he took a double purse out of his pocket, spread the rings with his little white fingers bent upwards, took out a gold one, and, raising his eyebrows, gave the money to the servant.
“Please hurry,” he said.
Gold was new. Rostov got up and went over to Telyanin.
“Let me see the purse,” he said in a low, barely audible voice.
With shifty eyes, but still raised eyebrows, Telyanin handed over the purse.
"Yes, a pretty purse... Yes... yes..." he said, and suddenly turned pale. “Look, young man,” he added.
Rostov took the wallet in his hands and looked at it, and at the money that was in it, and at Telyanin. The lieutenant looked around, as was his habit, and seemed to suddenly become very cheerful.
“If we’re in Vienna, I’ll leave everything there, and now there’s nowhere to go in these crappy little towns,” he said. - Come on, young man, I'll go.
Rostov was silent.
- What about you? have breakfast too? They are decently fed,” continued Telyanin. - Come on.
He reached out and took hold of the wallet. Rostov released him. Telyanin took the purse and began to put it into the pocket of his breeches, and his eyebrows casually rose, and his mouth opened slightly, as if he were saying: “Yes, yes, I put my purse in my pocket, and it’s very simple, and no one cares about this” .
- Well, what, young man? he said, sighing and looking into Rostov's eyes from under his raised eyebrows. Some kind of light from the eyes, with the speed of an electric spark, ran from Telyanin's eyes to Rostov's eyes and back, back and back, all in an instant.
“Come here,” said Rostov, grabbing Telyanin by the hand. He almost dragged him to the window. - This is Denisov's money, you took it ... - he whispered in his ear.
“What?… What?… How dare you?” What? ... - said Telyanin.
But these words sounded a plaintive, desperate cry and a plea for forgiveness. As soon as Rostov heard this sound of a voice, a huge stone of doubt fell from his soul. He felt joy, and at the same moment he felt sorry for the unfortunate man who stood before him; but it was necessary to complete the work begun.
“The people here, God knows what they might think,” muttered Telyanin, grabbing his cap and heading into a small empty room, “we need to explain ourselves ...
“I know it, and I will prove it,” said Rostov.
- I…
Telyanin's frightened, pale face began to tremble with all its muscles; his eyes still ran, but somewhere below, not rising to Rostov's face, and sobs were heard.
- Count! ... do not ruin the young man ... here is this unfortunate money, take it ... - He threw it on the table. - My father is an old man, my mother! ...
Rostov took the money, avoiding Telyanin's gaze, and, without saying a word, left the room. But at the door he stopped and turned back. “My God,” he said with tears in his eyes, “how could you do this?
“Count,” said Telyanin, approaching the cadet.
“Don’t touch me,” Rostov said, pulling away. If you need it, take this money. He threw his wallet at him and ran out of the inn.

In the evening of the same day, a lively conversation was going on at Denisov's apartment among the officers of the squadron.
“And I’m telling you, Rostov, that you need to apologize to the regimental commander,” said the tall staff captain, with graying hair, huge mustaches and large features of a wrinkled face, addressing the crimson red, agitated Rostov.
The staff captain Kirsten was twice demoted to the soldiers for deeds of honor and twice cured.
"I won't let anyone tell you I'm lying!" cried Rostov. He told me that I was lying, and I told him that he was lying. And so it will remain. They can put me on duty even every day and put me under arrest, but no one will make me apologize, because if he, as a regimental commander, considers himself unworthy of giving me satisfaction, then ...
- Yes, you wait, father; you listen to me, - the captain interrupted the staff in his bass voice, calmly smoothing his long mustache. - You tell the regimental commander in front of other officers that the officer stole ...
- It's not my fault that the conversation started in front of other officers. Maybe I shouldn't have spoken in front of them, but I'm not a diplomat. I then joined the hussars and went, thinking that subtleties are not needed here, but he tells me that I am lying ... so let him give me satisfaction ...
- That's all right, no one thinks that you are a coward, but that's not the point. Ask Denisov, does it look like something for a cadet to demand satisfaction from a regimental commander?
Denisov, biting his mustache, listened to the conversation with a gloomy look, apparently not wanting to intervene in it. When asked by the captain's staff, he shook his head negatively.
“You are talking to the regimental commander about this dirty trick in front of the officers,” the headquarters captain continued. - Bogdanich (Bogdanich was called the regimental commander) laid siege to you.
- He didn’t siege, but said that I was telling a lie.
- Well, yes, and you said something stupid to him, and you need to apologize.
- Never! shouted Rostov.
“I didn’t think it was from you,” the headquarters captain said seriously and sternly. - You do not want to apologize, and you, father, not only before him, but before the whole regiment, before all of us, you are to blame all around. And here's how: if only you thought and consulted how to deal with this matter, otherwise you directly, but in front of the officers, and thumped. What should the regimental commander do now? Should we put the officer on trial and mess up the entire regiment? Shame the entire regiment because of one villain? So, what do you think? But in our opinion, it is not. And well done Bogdanich, he told you that you are not telling the truth. It’s unpleasant, but what to do, father, they themselves ran into it. And now, as they want to hush up the matter, so you, because of some kind of fanabery, do not want to apologize, but want to tell everything. You are offended that you are on duty, but why should you apologize to an old and honest officer! Whatever Bogdanich may be, but all honest and brave, old colonel, you are so offended; and messing up the regiment is okay for you? - The voice of the captain's staff began to tremble. - You, father, are in the regiment for a week without a year; today here, tomorrow they moved to adjutants somewhere; you don’t give a damn what they will say: “Thieves are among the Pavlograd officers!” And we don't care. So, what, Denisov? Not all the same?
Denisov remained silent and did not move, occasionally glancing with his shining black eyes at Rostov.
“Your fanabery is dear to you, you don’t want to apologize,” continued the headquarters captain, “but we old people, how we grew up, and God willing, will die in the regiment, so the honor of the regiment is dear to us, and Bogdanich knows it. Oh, how dear, father! And this is not good, not good! Take offense there or not, but I will always tell the truth to the uterus. Not good!
And the captain's staff stood up and turned away from Rostov.
- Pg "avda, chog" take it! shouted Denisov, jumping up. - Well, G "skeleton! Well!
Rostov, blushing and turning pale, looked first at one officer, then at another.
- No, gentlemen, no ... don’t think ... I understand very well, you shouldn’t think so about me ... I ... for me ... I am for the honor of the regiment. but what? I’ll show it in practice, and for me the honor of the banner ... well, it’s all the same, really, it’s my fault! .. - Tears stood in his eyes. - I'm to blame, all around to blame! ... Well, what else do you want? ...
“That’s it, count,” the captain shouted, turning around, hitting him on the shoulder with his big hand.
“I’m telling you,” Denisov shouted, “he’s a nice little one.
“That’s better, Count,” repeated the captain of the staff, as if for his recognition he was beginning to call him a title. - Go and apologize, your excellency, yes s.
“Gentlemen, I’ll do everything, no one will hear a word from me,” Rostov said in an imploring voice, “but I can’t apologize, by God, I can’t, as you wish!” How will I apologize, like a little one, to ask for forgiveness?
Denisov laughed.
- It's worse for you. Bogdanych is vindictive, pay for your stubbornness, - said Kirsten.
- By God, not stubbornness! I can't describe to you the feeling, I can't...
- Well, your will, - said the headquarters captain. - Well, where did this bastard go? he asked Denisov.
- He said he was sick, zavtg "and ordered pg" and by order to exclude, - Denisov said.
“This is a disease, otherwise it cannot be explained,” said the captain of the staff.
- Already there, the disease is not a disease, and if he doesn’t catch my eye, I’ll kill you! Denisov shouted bloodthirstyly.
Zherkov entered the room.
- How are you? the officers suddenly turned to the newcomer.
- Walk, gentlemen. Mack surrendered as a prisoner and with the army, absolutely.
- You're lying!
- I saw it myself.
- How? Have you seen Mac alive? with arms or legs?
- Hike! Campaign! Give him a bottle for such news. How did you get here?
“They sent him back to the regiment, for the devil, for Mack. The Austrian general complained. I congratulated him on the arrival of Mack ... Are you, Rostov, just from the bathhouse?
- Here, brother, we have such a mess for the second day.
The regimental adjutant entered and confirmed the news brought by Zherkov. Tomorrow they were ordered to speak.
- Go, gentlemen!
- Well, thank God, we stayed too long.

Kutuzov retreated to Vienna, destroying the bridges on the rivers Inn (in Braunau) and Traun (in Linz). On October 23, Russian troops crossed the Enns River. Russian carts, artillery and columns of troops in the middle of the day stretched through the city of Enns, along this and that side of the bridge.
The day was warm, autumnal and rainy. The expansive vista that opened up from the elevation where the Russian batteries stood defending the bridge was suddenly covered by a muslin curtain of slanting rain, then suddenly expanded, and in the light of the sun objects, as if covered with varnish, became far and clearly visible. You could see the town under your feet with its white houses and red roofs, the cathedral and the bridge, on both sides of which, crowding, the masses of Russian troops poured. At the turn of the Danube one could see ships, and an island, and a castle with a park, surrounded by the waters of the confluence of the Enns with the Danube, one could see the left bank of the Danube, rocky and covered with pine forests, with a mysterious distance of green peaks and blue gorges. The towers of the monastery could be seen, standing out from behind a pine, seemingly untouched, wild forest; far ahead on the mountain, on the other side of the Enns, the enemy patrols could be seen.

Sometimes on the street there are such people at the sight of which you want to go to the other side of the road and call the ghost hunters - they look so terrible. And the point is not that mother nature has deprived them of beauty, but that they do all this with themselves. Now the brightest representative of people who are experimenting with their appearance is a young man named Evgeny Bolotov.

Problems since childhood

Eugene was a very shy guy from childhood, and during his school years he had no friends. Eugene hated studying, for him the school was equated to a real concentration camp, and he often skipped.

The desire to somehow fulfill himself came at a very young age, but his parents forbade him to change his appearance. Then the guy began to get involved in piercing, often repainted his hair. This parents could still endure and counted on the fact that the son would come to his senses and become again a normal person when he grows up.

After leaving school, a unique child went, at the behest of his parents, to study at the academy, but soon he simply abandoned it. The guy made his choice at the age of eighteen, believing that he was already quite an adult and could make decisions himself.

Out of control son

Eugene, now known as the "platypus man", was a completely normal outwardly guy, but he tried his best to prove to his parents that he was an independent person. He dropped out of school, because he believed that he did not need management or another profession at all, and he would be able to achieve success in another direction, through his modification.

Parents and grandmothers groaned and gasped when the guy came with new "decorations", but nevertheless eventually reconciled, because they understood that it was simply impossible to control this person. Now there is harmony in their family, and the guy is accepted for who he is.

Reincarnation

Now the guy is distinguished not only by strongly stretched lips, but also by earlobes, nasal septum. The guy chose stretched earlobes as his first "decoration". He admits that those that are now available are too small, only 16 millimeters, and there were forty-three. He was just young, he froze them, they had to be sutured.

Then he switched to his lips. The lower lip was the first to change when the guy inserted the disk into it. Bolotov admits that this is only the beginning. The guy's lower lip is already stretched by 60 millimeters, and the upper one by 33, but he dreams of two hundred!

Later, the young man switched to the nasal septum, which haunted him with its appearance. Now it is practically non-existent - it is so stretched.

Evgeny made tattoos on his eyebrows a long time ago, he also has a drawing on his arm, leg, partly on his back, but he dreams of a tattoo on the whole body. He says that even in clothes he feels naked, he wants to completely cover his body, so that even the smallest piece of skin is tightly wrapped.

Yevgeny has discs on his lips, he is proud of this, he creates them in different colors, which, like costumes, he changes for each suitable occasion.

By the way, he completely rejects trips to professionals, and stretches the skin on his own. He loves the process. Evgeny Bolotov says that his body is plasticine, from which he himself sculpts what he wants. He prefers to do tattoos in the salon of the master, since he himself does not yet know how to fill underwear drawings.

Why "platypus"?

Evgeny Bolotov is a body modifier, that is, a person who experiments with his own appearance. He chose a nickname for himself - Platypus, which translates from English as "platypus". He liked these Australian animals since childhood, and he even created a group on the Internet with the same name. All people who look like Eugene enter there.

Evgeny Bolotov himself says that he does not dream of completely turning into this animal, he just really liked him.

Is it difficult to communicate with people with such appearance?

Stretched lips, dreadlocks, tattoos - Zhenya Bolotov loves it all. He says that on the street many make fun of him, point the finger at him. It is easy for him only in Moscow, St. Petersburg, but in his native Perm he has to completely cover his face with a scarf in order to avoid stupid questions, for example, about how he manages to eat, talk, and so on. In the evening, Evgeny Bolotov prefers to be at home, as he is afraid of meeting informals or just "right" guys. He believes that these people are capable of tearing him apart.

The guy has no problems with girls, he has become popular on the Web, and the most attractive representatives of the weaker sex call him a real handsome man, especially his eyes. For more than a year, Eugene has been talking with one girl and says that their relationship is serious. She does not force him to stop in "self-improvement", loves to kiss!

How does the guy eat?

At first, stretched lips interfered with normal eating, this continued until the guy got used to it. However, he still completely changed his diet and now prefers only raw vegetables and fruits.

Once, carried away by a raw food diet, the guy almost died, having emaciated up to thirty kilograms with a height of one hundred and seventy centimeters. In this form, he was taken to the intensive care unit. Then he did not eat anything but fruits, did not even drink water. Now he has included raw vegetables, sprouted buckwheat in his diet, and began to drink water. Coffee, tea, boiled or baked foods simply ceased to exist for him. Today, Bolotov weighs 57 kilograms.

How does Bolotov make a living?

The ugliest man, as many call him, does not starve, as he earns himself. He lives with his parents, but does not allow himself to be supported. The guy is engaged in the manufacture of designer disks for lips, ears and other parts of the body. He makes them on his own lathe for yourself and under the order.

Eugene also moonlights as a model! He is invited not only to pose in front of photographic lenses, but also to fashion shows. He admits that he liked the modeling business, and he is ready to work at the invitation of designers.

Now Bolotov has a new hobby - he began to engage in bodybuilding. Photos with appeared muscles and embossed cubes can be seen on his personal page, or by joining the "platypus" group.

Psychologist's opinion

And yet, such a modification suggests thoughts of a not quite normal mental state of a person. Here we have collected all the reasons that, according to the psychologist, could inspire the guy to such a fanatical change in appearance:

Glory, big money. This is the very first reason called by a professional. The psychologist says that this kind of business is equated to selling your own body. IN this case a person does not know how to do anything else and decided to get fame and good money by changing his appearance. Indeed, Evgeny Bolotov receives good fees for photography, his plans include becoming the "face" of a famous brand.
Sadomasochism also has a place here. Eugene said that he himself stretches his skin, and it gives him pleasure. Poking around in one's own body, hurting oneself, seeing one's own blood are all signs of a serious mental disorder.
Unhealthy pride is the third reason. If a person strives to make himself a "piece copy", admires his achievements in the mirror, then this indicates that he is a sick person, too in love with himself.
Sexual problems hidden deep in the soul. Perhaps someone in the past greatly upset the guy, caused psychological trauma, and refused a relationship. Evgeny Bolotov could become a peculiar person only because somewhere in the bins of his soul he was not sure of his attractiveness, male strength.

Be that as it may, this guy is not the only one of his kind. More and more young girls are changing their appearance, but they unknowingly disfigure themselves by pumping Botox on their faces. They think they look amazing, but in reality they are just awful. Anyone who seeks to change something in himself should think many times, turn to specialists in order to get rid of the feeling of inferiority at the root.

Yes, everyone is free to do whatever they want with their body, but one question arises - why make fun of what nature and parents have given you? Nothing to stand out or low self-esteem? Wickedness or stupidity - that is the question...

The Freak subculture was formed in the 20th century in North America. Until now, her followers adhere to one main idea - to stand out among the crowd of people around. The term Freak originated from English word Freak, which means - a strange person. The appearance of the Piercing culture among the masses led to piercings in all kinds of places, and with the advent and availability of tattoos, many places began to be clogged with various drawings, inscriptions and patterns.

Body modifiers - from English. body (body) and modify (modify), literally, the one who modifies his body. There are many different ways of modification: piercings, tattoos, cutting the tongue, intentionally cutting off parts of the body, scarring, etc.

Tattoo artist Ruslan Tumanyants

He is known for his scandal, where the girl claimed that he made as many as 56 instead of 3 ordered stars on her face. However, later the girl admitted that she had made up the story, but the name of this tattoo artist had already become known. By the way, he found a girl who happily tattooed his name on her face ...

Evgeny Bolotov - designer and body modifier

Evgeny Bolotov is a body modifier, he experiments with his appearance. He has plates on his lips, the lower one is stretched by 60 mm, the upper one by 33 mm. And he plans to stretch them "to infinity." He also stretches the earlobes, made tunnels in the nose, and now even a pencil can easily pass between the nostrils. He also pierced his nasal cartilage, and now his nose bends like plasticine. Zhenya is very proud of the fact that he is the only owner of such a piercing on the planet.

Today Alexander Shpak's video can be found on his YouTube and Instagram channel, where Sasha very competently and clearly explains all the intricacies of bodybuilding, nutrition, physiology, and training. Also, social networks closely monitor his family life.

Komsomolskaya Pravda asked colleagues from different parts of our vast country to talk about fellow countrymen who amazed, fascinated or shocked them - and, perhaps, even forced them to reconsider their views on what is considered the norm. Faktrum publishes the resulting list of amazing personalities.

1. Platypus Man from Perm

No, children don't cry, - the 27-year-old designer from Perm laughs, - People sometimes point fingers, smile at the sight of me, ask to be photographed with them.

True, the guy complains: in dangerous Perm regions, you have to cover your face just in case. It is still unclear how real boys will meet and greet on a dark street: not everyone in the Urals understands and accepts such “beauty”.

2. Snow Maiden from Tolyatti

From the back, Galina Kutereva can be given no more than 20 years: a slender girlish figure and long hair. Only upon closer inspection it is noticeable that they are gray-haired. Seeing how she walks through the snowdrifts in a sundress and sandals in the cold, people get scared. Drivers stop and offer to heat and give a ride. Many men are ready to take off their jacket and walk it home. But Galina Kutereva always just laughs in response. “I am not cold in winter and not hot in summer. I am a real Snow Maiden.

But this was not always the case: as a child, Galina was allergic to frost, over the years a whole “bouquet” of diseases appeared: from joint diseases to cancer. She enrolled in a longevity school, was treated for several years, doused herself with water, did exercises on her joints. And now he feels great. She also saves on clothes, because in winter she does not need a fur coat or a down jacket. As a last resort, a warm angora sweater.

3. Janitor-artist from Izhevsk

For his 52 years, Semyon Bukharin worked as a firefighter and a miner. He retired three years ago. He got a job as a janitor in a school. Then I did not think that it was here that he, a decorator by education, would find his calling. Instead of a brush - a shovel. Instead of a canvas - a school yard. The idea to create in the snow came spontaneously - schoolchildren came up with the idea. They also became grateful spectators. Semyon Bukharin is not striving for glory. She says it's all for the kids. Shkolota in response calls him a great artist.

4. Boy-magnet from the Omsk region

Second-grader Kolya from the village of Vodyanoye, which is located 160 kilometers from Omsk, became the hero of the Internet. The news about a schoolboy, to whose body coins, spoons and ladles are “glued”, spread all over Russia and even appeared on the pages of foreign publications. “We celebrated 4 years, dabbled with spoons, she stuck to my nose. Then I remembered, I tried again, ”Kolya answers the question of how he discovered superpowers in himself.

5. Double Lady Gaga from Samara

Now Sasha Guseva definitely doesn’t look like a boy: long straight hair, thin waist, high breasts, bright makeup. This is what the surgeons did. At 17, she changed gender. I found a doctor in the Novosibirsk clinic: hormonal preparation, a complex operation costing 900 thousand rubles, and long months of rehabilitation. Then there were three more operations and 9 corrections of the face and body. Now the girl is not called otherwise than Lady Sasha. Such a name "stuck" to her thanks to a new image. The girl performs in the show of doubles, copies Lady Gaga. The first performances went with a bang. And now the Samara woman, using her resemblance to a star, makes good money on corporate parties. She thinks out the images herself, and her mother helps her to sew stage costumes.

6. A girl with a tattoo on her face from Saransk

Russian tattoo artist Ruslan Tumanyants from Saransk became infamous all over the world after he drew 56 stars on the face of a teenage girl from Belgium, and his new girlfriend's face - his own name in capital Latin letters. Ruslan's new "victim" is called Lesya, they were born in the same city. The girl allowed to get a tattoo on her face just a day after they met. The guys met on Facebook. Now Lesya's face is adorned with the name "Ruslan", written in large Gothic type. Lesya explained that she did it out of love and devotion to her lover.

For a month of chatting, we realized that we have great feelings for each other and common goals for life, - Lesya said. - The meeting in Moscow only confirmed our love and desire to be together all our lives. I chose a font and drew a sketch. Why on the face? Because I wanted to show that the most important thing in my life is my love and the name of the most important person in my life, Ruslan. I proudly wear his name on my face! I love him very much!

Ruslan Tumanyants

7. 83-year-old strongman from Dagestan

Abdurkhaman Abdulazizov set a world record, having managed to lift a load of 81.5 kg. This is almost thirty kilograms more than the previous weight of 53 kilograms, which was lifted by the athlete from Poland, Johanna Sawicka, in 2011. Abdulazizov's record was recorded with all rigor and entered the Guinness Book of Records.

8. A girl with a Barbie face and Ken's muscles from Saratov

Huge half-faced eyes, plump lips and a shock of curly hair - about the face of Yulia Vince one wants to say "a girl is such a girl." And now we lower our eyes below: biceps, triceps, cubes on the stomach ... and the back is generally mountainous. A girl from Saratov can pick up and lift an adult man over her head, even two, if they are not too plump. In training, this doll-faced athlete lifts 100 kilograms in the bench press, 160–180 kilograms in the deadlift, and 170 kilograms in the squat. At the same time, the powerlifter herself weighs only 64! And she's only 18 years old!

Now the girl who took up powerlifting because she was offended at school has more than 9 thousand friends on social networks. Many of them call themselves fans of Julia. Admirers from all over the country confess their love to her, programs are filmed about her in Japan, China, and America.

9. Lucifer from Perm

In Perm, a young couple named their son Lucifer.

We are not Goths, we are just informals, - mother Natasha laughs.

She is generally very cheerful, despite aggressive spiked jewelry, a shaved head and black robes. Yes, and these desperate people played a wedding on Friday, December 13, 2013.

And my husband wanted to name his son like that, and at first this choice was too bold for me. But I gave birth to Lucik very hard, he was born suffocated and lived for a day, connected to an artificial respiration apparatus. And then I turned to Lucifer for help. I promised him that if the baby survived, I would name my son after him. So Lucifer became the patron of our son.

10. King of kopecks from Novosibirsk

60-year-old pensioner Yuri Babin is a well-known character in Novosibirsk. Back in the 1990s, he began to collect one-kopeck coins, and got so carried away that his entire house was covered with small change. She is everywhere: on the floor, in pots of flowers, on the windowsills. In total, Babin has no less than 7 tons of coins! Jokingly, journalists nicknamed the unusual numismatist the King of Kopeks. Babin was even invited to the Congress of Eccentrics in New York, however, due to financial problems, the Siberian had to refuse such a tempting offer. The former military man decided to change his last name to a very unusual one - President-Great-Russia-Babin. That's right, in four words and through a hyphen! The registry office staff refused him this, citing the fact that the surname cannot consist of several words in different cases. In general, it seems that only the court will resolve the family dispute.

11. Chimney sweep Lvovich from Kaliningrad

Alexander Lvovich Smirnov (or simply Lvovich, as everyone calls him) is a man walking around the city in a chimney sweep suit, not missing a single major Kaliningrad holiday. “No one invites me to these holidays - I go there myself,” he says. The house of the chief Kaliningrad chimney sweep has been turned into a fortress, which continues to be built every day. Lvovich decorates the crazy-shaped windows with homemade tiles. He also makes furniture himself. Behind Last year a house appeared on its territory, which Lvovich calls the "Museum of the Chimney Sweep".

Inside the house-fortress there is something like a theater studio, the costumes for which are made from household waste and polyurethane foam. According to our hero, now he is planning to shoot a film, in which his nymphs will also take part - girls in fancy dresses, accompanying him everywhere.

12. Man-patter from Novosibirsk

In fact, the guy got a completely simple Russian name from his parents - Alexei, but now according to his passport he is none other than Lomion Horvegraug Morion Nornoros Yaere, a'Moritarnon. Total 45 letters! From childhood, the boy had knights as heroes of his favorite books, and at the university he became an avid role player and reenactor, even made medieval chain mail and helmets. And one day, he says, he thought about his roots. Allegedly, he found the names of ancient ancestors who were Poles, and folded them into a new verbal construction. True, it came out long - there were many ancestors. Even after all the possible abbreviations, the name turned out to be such that you break the language. When the eccentric came to the registry office to change passport data, the employees, of course, were puzzled. But they scratched their heads, leafed through the laws and ... adopted a statement. And where to go? According to the law, a Russian has the right to be called whatever he pleases. Soon the knightly name took its rightful place in the passport - somehow it fit there. But friends call simply and without any regalia - Morionych.

13. Man-jaws of steel from Togliatti

Ravil Kravchukov, nicknamed Rav the Magnificent, in front of the crowd, pulled out three cars with a total weight of more than four tons with his teeth - and dragged them as much as 20 meters! “For me, dragging 4 tons is not a record at all,” the athlete shares. - I still can't do it! In 2002, at the birthday party of Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain, I held out a double-decker bus, in which there were one hundred passengers with a total weight of about 7 tons. This achievement was recorded by the commission of the Guinness Book of Records. By the way, there I was the only Russian who spoke.” To achieve an impressive result, Ravil devoted 20 years to extreme sports. First, the athlete lifted kettlebells with his teeth, then 10 and 50-kilogram pancakes, and eventually trained his jaw muscles to such an extent that he could hold a barbell weighing 120 kg! True, during the tricks, Ravil's teeth broke, so he had to insert implants.

14. Vedevashnitsa Yulia from Yekaterinburg

The father of two children, a gambling footballer and a well-known sports journalist from Yekaterinburg, suddenly changed his gender. And this is not a joke. Yura worked for many years as a sports columnist for the newspaper "Na Smenu!", Then in the press service of the Sverdlovsk police, from where he left for the Ural Worker. Quite a nice, well, maybe a little gloomy guy, a football player, a sports fan. And then it was like they changed it. He began to drink hormonal pills, which etch out beautiful masculine features from his appearance. He preferred pink skirts to army khaki trousers. Finally, he began to ask his acquaintances to call themselves Yulia.

Yura is a former paratrooper. Married twice, divorced twice, two children. “Girls changed like gloves!” - Yura's former colleagues discuss behind their backs. Or Julie...

15. 78-year-old student from Kiselevsk

A pensioner from Kiselevsk (Kemerovo region) Alexander Kuzmich Trusov is already receiving his fourth diploma (the first humanitarian diploma after three technical ones). Now he is in his second year. And when he receives a diploma, he will already be in his 82nd year! But he himself does not consider himself a super student, an extreme, an original and an eccentric. And to the increased interest in him on the part of students, to exclamations in his address, he is patient, like a grandfather - to his grandchildren.
