The Great Combinator, Ostap Bender

SO SO SO SO I FINALLY GOT AROUND TO WRITING THIS OKAY HERE WE GO

    So today I would like to introduce to you the most charismatic personage in Russian literature, and my favorite character of all time. Ostap Bender is the main character of Ilf and Petrov’s 1928 satirical novel The Twelve Chairs and the protagonist of its 1931 sequel, The Little Golden Calf. What’s interesting is that Bender is, in my opinion, the main character but NOT the protagonist of the first book, while he is definitely the protagonist of its sequel. Additionally, due to several external factors that I won’t delve into right now, the character of Ostap developed very quickly between the two books, so it is difficult to discuss the two Benders as one singular character. Furthermore, out of the multiple movie portrayals of Ostap Bender, at least the two pictured above (Sergei Yursky in The Little Golden Calf, 1968 and Andrei Mironov in The Twelve Chairs, 1976) deserve separate posts discussing their portrayals of the character. So I’m going to break all this up into several posts, and for now I’ll just talk about Ostap as he is in The Twelve Chairs. Let’s start with a little translated excerpt from the book, the first appearance of Bender. 

     At exactly half past eleven o’ clock, a young man aged about twenty-eight  entered the village of Stargorod from the direction of the village of Chmarovka, to the north-east. A little street urchin ran along behind him.     “Mister!” cried the boy gaily, “gimme ten kopeks!”      The young man took a warm apple out of his pocket and handed it to the boy, but the child still kept running behind. Then the young man stopped, and, looking ironically at the boy, said quietly:     “Perhaps you’d also like the key to the apartment where the money is kept?” The boy realized the complete futility of his pretensions and dropped behind.     The young man had lied. He had no money, no apartment where it could be kept, and no key with which to open said apartment. In fact, he didn’t even have a coat…

     From this introduction, we find out three crucial things about Bender. The first is that he is broke and homeless. The second is that while he may not even have a coat, what he DOES have is a sparkling sense of irony. The third is that, since the boy assumed he would have money, Bender carries himself with such confidence that one would never guess his desolate state just by looking at him. 

     Very quickly, we find out that Bender is a con artist, reffered to by the narrator as “The Great Combinator” a man who claims to know “400 comparatively legal ways to part the general population with their money”. “Comparatively legal” is an accurate assessment of what Bender does. He does not resort to violence or outright thievery, and clearly has a code of ethics, especially compared to other characters in the book. Bender is the odd type of anti-hero that one roots for by comparison- because almost every character in the book is a caricature of certain negative traits; it puts Bender’s actions in perspective.

     But every character has some sort of motive for behaving the way they do, so what is Bender’s? Surely someone with his amount of intellect and charisma would easily be able to find a job, make money, maybe even start a family. But Bender isn’t remotely interested in participating in the monotone uniformity of Soviet life; Bender has a dream. Bender’s dream is called “Rio de Janeiro”. It should be noted that Bender’s knowledge about the city of Rio de Janeiro is limited to a picture he saw in a magazine as a child, and a few clippings from an encyclopedia. And yet, he goes conning his way from town to town with one purpose; to gather enough money and escape to Rio. Over the two books in which he stars, we come to understand that even Bender himself, on a subconscious level, understands that his dream is impossible. But it gives him a reason to live.

     After arriving to Stargorod, Bender meets the book’s protagonist (but not it’s main character; that’s Bender): a generally unpleasant but extraordinarily well-written individual named Ippolit “Kisa” Vorabyaninov. It should be noted that “Kisa” is the Russian word for  “kitty”, or, more fittingly, “pussy”. Kisa happens to be in town looking for his late mother-in-law’s treasure (sewn into one of a scattered set of twelve chairs, hence the title). Bender offers to help him with this task, for 50% of the profit. How he managed to weasel into this deal is telling both of Bender’s skill and Kisa’s stupidity. Bender quickly takes charge of the operation, and treats Kisa mostly as a burdensome apprentice.      

     As the book goes on, Bender’s character becomes better and better defined. The reader cant help but fall in love with his charisma, intelligence, sense of humor, and confidence; and as you read, you find yourself justifying Bender’s actions and clutching at any moment where he shows signs of morality (again, to be fair to Bender, few of the book’s characters show any signs at all). But at the same time, Bender isn’t made out to be the perfect “Robin Hood” that con-artist-heroes usually are. Absolutely everything he does is for his own benefit. Bender is selfish, self-obsessed, arrogant, and has no qualms about taking advantage of innocent people to get what he wants. The only times he says anything pleasant or positive is if he’s trying to charm someone into bending to his will. In simple terms, he’s a jerk. His relationship with Kisa is also interesting; Bender always treats Kisa as inferior to him, but also shows him rare moments of pity or even affection. He constantly complains about Kisa’s incompetence, but makes no attempt to teach or improve his accomplice. Bender’s treatment of Kisa winds up costing him dearly at the end, but I won’t discuss that now.

     Why does Bender appeal to me personally, other than the reasons above? Bender is one of the (sadly) few Jewish heroes in Russian literature. One of the authors, Ilya Ilf (which is not his real name), was Jewish as well. I love seeing my people represented in literature, especially if they are well-developed main characters, not minor villains portrayed with stereotypes (as is the case with many books, unfortunately). Other reasons? Bender is an icon of Russian culture; his quotes, even the nonsensical ones, are always used in conversation. You can’t NOT love him.

     Anyway, I’m positive no one is actually reading at this point, but I’ll probably continue these rants. I still want to talk about the movie versions and the sequel and all that jazz. As Bender would say, “the ice has broken, ladies and gentlemen of the jury! The ice has broken!”
