L. Leonov « Russian Forest » In the context of the ever increasing environmental and biospheric role of forests on one hand and steady growth of anthropogenic influence on them on the other hand, the main purpose of this book putting it in the words of my colleague professor N. A. Babiĉ (2006) is “the development of the attitude towards the care of every plant, even if it’s poisonous, of every animal, although it is dangerous, of every bird even if it’s a flesh-eater”. Therefore the motto of IUFRO XX World Congress (1995) “Caring for the Forest: Research in a Changing World”is placed on the book cover. The goal of the author is to capture the attention of the readers caring about Russian nature’s uniqueness, value and even the mystery of ourwood species, keeping in mind the thinking by K. Lorenz (1970) who said,“In the end it is every scientist’s duty to popularize to general public what he works on” (p. 13). Following this thinking every specialist is caught between Scylla and Charybdis, or is on the horns of dilemma to merge two difficulty-combining courses meaning relevance and apprehensiveness for the general audience and non-trivial approach for professionals. In consideration of the aim the author, to an extent, possibly omits dendrological, forest typological and other identifications of wood species that are binding on botanists and foresters but hard taken by non-specialists. In that regard the structure of the book is played off as a combination of unique sketches, or arabesques. The term “arabesque” has a long history and has changed its meaning. Originally it meant medieval oriental pattern ( Fig. 1 ). According to The Brockhause and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary, “Arabesques are an odd or grotesque decor of the Renaissance, in those cases when they fall into over grotesque design”. M. Yampolskiy (2007) clears “Arabesques, or grotesques, first draw attention during the opening of the Emperor Nero’s palace, The Domus Aurea in the Renaissance. Fragments of the wall painting were discovered there; abstract ornamental motifs joined with ligatures of odd lines played the main role. The vignettes that connected different figurative pieces added compositional unity between the wall paintings and the ceiling pieces (p. 347)”. Fig. 1. Arabesque motif. Glazed ceramic. Turkey. (http://ec-dejavu.ru/a/arabesque_2.html). In the Renaissance, arabesques fulfilled the role of “decorative fusion of pieces in whole”, and served as “an impulse to restore the unity and hence the meaning," and also as “a form of a mystic revelation of the whole and invisible links” (Yampolskiy, 2007. P. 348, 350). M. Yampolskiy associates this phenomenon with the concept of “representation”that shifts the focus from an artist’s skills to his semi-mythical ability to see images that appear in front of his internal vision of imagination ( Fig. 2 ). Johann Wolfgang von Göthe in his article “On the arabesques” (Von Arabesken," 1789) published in “Der Teutsche Merkur” journal connects the concept of arabesques with the phenomenon of ornamental grotesque of antiquity (Dezhurov, 1993). Fig. 2. Arabesques. Illustration from Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary (1890 — 1907). Immanuel Kant (1966) found arabesques as the best image of “free beauty”independent from the comprehension of an object; and he used life flowers as an example. Russian writer Nikolay Gogol (1835) represented his book “Arabesques”as a mixture of miscellaneous materials such as journalism, esthetics, and prose. However M. Yampolskiy (2007) sees in the book not just heterogeneity of the pieces but “the presence of motion that is capable to form these pieces in one form," and the main role of arabesques by N. Gogol, in M. Yampolskiy’s interpretation, is “the combination of earthly and heavenly, material and ideal” (p. 352, 353). Musical pieces in arabesque genre stand out for its elegance and rich musical structure; it is a genre of an instrument theatrical piece composed predominantly for piano (i.e., Robert Schumann, Claude Debussy), generally with a complex structure, richly ornamented design and “lacy”melodic curves (Kupriyanov, 2008). The free artists at the beginning of the 20 th century (Henri Matisse, Maurice de Vlaminck, Andre Derain and others) painted in a so-called “fauvism”style to recreate a landscape image as the arabesque of observation. This metaphorical term stood for a process of induced landscape structuring along intentionally distorted lines. The landscapes painted in the fauvism style are imbued with striving to project the intensity of life in nature. Their decorative effect was based on an aggressive tone of big splashes of pure contrast colors pushed to the limit (Benjamin, 1993. P. 307). Nature and landscapes served them not much as an object of illustration, but rather as a cause for creating tense and expressive colorful symphonies, however keeping the connection with the seen reality ( Fig. 3 ). The fauvists took the main color inspiration and motif from nature but enhanced and gave an edge to it, often using a color outline to divide color splashes (Duthuit, 1977; www.zavadskaya.wordpress.com). Fig. 3a. Nude in Sunlit Landscape. Henri Matisse (1869-1954) (album.foto.ru/photos/22631) Fig. 3b. Landscape with red trees. Maurice de Vlaminck (1876 – 1958) ( http://www.arteyes.ru”painting.morris-de-vlamink.vlamink.html) Later foliage patterns consisted of stylized foliage, flowers, and stalks came to be called arabesques (see Fig. 4) . In these latter days any glimpse sketches, “ Ligature ” of facts are called arabesque, while an English-Russian dictionary defines “arabesque”as “ crank ” (Addition to the Big English-Russian Dictionary, 1980). A. Kupriyanov describes events and life line tangles of the great representatives of botanical science in his two books “Arabesques of botany” (2003, 2008). Here we will study some uncommon biological and ecological features of the tree species naturally growing in forests of Russia. Unlike murderous vampire trees occurring in foreign forests (Fig. 5a, b) all our trees have infallibly peaceful features. Fig. 4. Arabesgue motif on silk ( http://attoptem.ucoz.ru/news/struktura_arabeski_pechat_shelkovoj_tkani_khrizan/2013-05-20-12 ). “American Weekly”, January 4, 1925 (Menninger, 1967). Fig. 5a. Man-eater trees devouring birds, monkeys and people were discovered by explores in the 19 th century in the jungle on different continents. (http://akmaya.ru/post129362912/); (http://animalspace.net/asanimals/asmythical/271-suschestva-okazavshiesya-mifom.html). “ Vampires of the green world demonstrate complex types of movements, often more aggressive than most animals. They have at least hunting and digestive reflexes, lie in waiting skills, and dispose of bio-waste. Now and then it seems they have a consciousness of this, although it ’ s a destructive one. “ Vampire ” plants are one of the miraculous wonders of the nature. O. Borisov (2013) states that if human vampirism refers to the realm of legends then plant vampirism is a proven scientific fact. Fig. 5b. Trees-vampires. Painters: Édouard Riou (1833-1900) (Jules Verne “Five Weeks In A Balloon”, 1863) and Max Ernst (1891-1976) (“A week of kindness”, 1934). Since Ancient Rus’ forest has always played the role of a man’s friend and defender from different hardships, such as so called “foreign monsters,”African and Australian dragon tree and different kinds of bottle trees ( Fig. 6a,b ) don’t play into the ideology and the structure of the book. Therefore our forests stood at the origins of Russian people’s distinctive culture. Back in the 19 th century Russian thinker-russophile, philosopher, and sociologist, Nikolay Danilevskiy (1822-1885), noted that unlike steppe nomadism, that ’indulges in laziness,’ the forest promoted a settled lifestyle of the Slavs, a development of primary culture and hence had a “strong cultural and tribal power”. The forest also had another influence, “forest with its mystic grounds and shade brings a poetic spirit to the people living in it”. I don’t think that this distinctive culture could originate without any outside influence otherwise than in the forest country” (Danilevskiy, 2011. P. 276-277). Fig. 6a. Dragoon Tree. (lat. Dracaena draco). Medieval scientists considered it as a half animal and half human and the red juice as real blood. (http://www.liveinternet.ru/users/ugolieok/post255567355/). Fig. 6b. Baobab (lat. Adansonia digitate). Tree spicy occurring in African savannah. ( http://photoflowery.ru/photo/c6/c6f20844573aebbab24a53760fd308b8.jpg). Perhaps the forester Boris Sergunenkov (1981) experienced that particular sensation of unity with forest, a sense of it, that distinct call of the wild while living in the forester’s office for a long time. “When I walk in the forest and look absently around and then suddenly stand there like as if I was made of stone, or listen to the noise of a pine and I can stand like that for an hour or two not moving a muscle, enjoying the sun or feeling the breeze; and I forget about the forest, people, about myself and my existence and I think to myself if I’m becoming a pine? I feel the sun and the wind is like my brother and I stand turning to stone, and any bird could nest on my top and I would not bother it. I can sense unfamiliar smells then, notice unseen tones of grass and flowers, and I am still a human being and sort of not, but a pine or an animal. The forest, trees, ground, grass are all close to me, like I was born here; I feel the connection, a nearby tree seems to be my brother, the river is indeed my sister…” (P. 346-347). B. Sergunenkov’s book named “My forest” is a unique inspired poem to the forest. “Woods were still. They are quiet. They make noise but soundless. Why is it so? Because forest can never be quiet. It can only aim to be quiet and still. If you let it be still it will immediately disappear, die and fade away, even when it is still it always goes forward, moves every hour, every minute with its every grass blade, waves its every leaf. : Usoltsev Vladimir.
