Peter has a Russian spirit. This spirit outweighs all his other roots: Icelandic, Irish, Scottish. This spirit is very old, but at the same time infinitely mundane and free.
And no matter how hard Peter tries to divert attention from himself with a series of jokes and self-irony: I know that his head is always occupied with a deep and complex search for a path and eternal rest.
Peter can be represented in any era and images. But this work of the spirit most fully coexisted in the body of the archer whose hands were hardened from the scythe and battles, and yet remained just as sensitive to carving toys from soft wood or touching thin strings.
And so Petr Rataj appeared.
Petr is calm, powerful and taller than anyone else in the Streltsy regiment. And if he wants to rest he goes to the field to take care of the ground.
***
Works on the field Petr,
Waving a maple scythe
And Rataj has black hair swaying
What does crumble with black silk
Rataj has the clear eyes of a falcon
And his eyebrows are black sable.
And boots green morocco
The caftan is green velvet.
Silent and thoughtful bogatyr
It's not fun for him to revel and walk around the world,
He wants to return to his family
And weave a green ribbon into the white-apple tree where his house once stood.
