How often do we hear about some heroic deed of this or that person. Among us live people who are capable of actions that distinguish them from most people. A person can rush into a house on fire, where nothing can be seen because of the thick smoke. And all this will happen because he hears someone’s voice coming from the house.
It should be noted that only the very brave and clever man, who at this moment will be able to concentrate on the poor fellow who is in the clutches of the flame, and not on himself and his integrity and safety. Every year there are many cases when someone barely escapes from drowning in the sea, lake or river. The victim is saved by a simple stranger or one of the people he barely knows. Only a brave, intelligent and humanistic person is able to react very quickly to an accident and rush to help. No one is safe from drowning, especially when it comes to saving another person. This is much more dangerous and serious than being alone in calm water.
This fact is further proof that there are few people willing to take risks, be willing to sacrifice their safety and life, if necessary, to save someone else.

Recently I visited relatives in Volgograd. Walking in the evening with my eight-year-old nephew Vadim, who had been brought from St. Petersburg for a family celebration, we discovered Pavlik Morozov Street. "This is a hero Battle of Stalingrad? - asked the smart nephew, who managed to catch main principle names of local streets. Avoiding political assessments and gory details as much as possible, I outlined Pavlik’s sad fate. Vadim thought, and then decisively declared: “This is wrong! Of course, I feel sorry for him, but you can’t name a street after him. He's not a hero! - “Well, who do you think is the hero?” - “Batman!”
- Physical heroism is the ability to risk life or health for high goals.
- Moral heroism is the willingness to go against norms and rules, defending one’s beliefs.
- Vital heroism is the constant overcoming of one’s own physical or mental shortcomings.
This was followed by the nominations of Jack Sparrow, Harry Potter and Frodo Baggins. With heroes from real life Vadim had serious difficulties. Me too, however. After much thought, he finally remembered Yuri Gagarin. And I told him about Shavarsh Karapetyan. But we both felt that the topic needed deeper exploration. The next morning, the nephew demanded to look for heroes on the Internet. When searching for “hero of Russia,” Google first came up with Ramzan Kadyrov. Search for “heroism” – a spell in a popular online game (increases combat speed by 30%). Vadim became sad. "I don't understand. Who and how decides whether a person is a hero or not? And where does heroism come from? We need to figure it out." I promised that I would sort it out.
Human destiny
Philosophers often call Antiquity “the childhood of humanity.” Many of the philosophical and aesthetic views of the ancient Greeks today really look childish. If you think about it, most ancient heroes are a little “Batman”, in the sense that they were initially endowed with superhuman abilities. “In our logic, you need to accomplish a feat in order to become a hero,” explains philosopher Valery Gubin. – In ancient Greek culture, everything was exactly the opposite. You had to be a hero to accomplish feats. And they became heroes, so to speak, by birthright. In myths, a hero is one who is born from the love of a god and a mortal.” But even with feats everything is not so simple. Let's take Hercules: he, of course, destroyed many evil creatures and cleared Augean stables, but a fair portion of his exploits are far from our ideas of heroism. Why steal apples from the garden of the Hesperides or a belt from the queen of the Amazons, and even kill a lot of people? Yes, this was required by the service of King Eurystheus, but what a feat is that - it’s time to be ashamed... Heroism in Ancient Greece– in many ways “art for art’s sake.” An act involving danger and exceeding the limits of human strength is already a feat. And the Hellenes admired such an act, innocently forgetting that the capabilities of their heroes exceeded those of humans.
However, among the ancient Greeks and other peoples, heroism was always considered a human destiny. The gods are immortal and therefore do not risk anything. Even the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ, perhaps the most heroic act in history, became so precisely because it was not the act of a god - a god-man.
"I see the goal"
The military pilot, recognized as the best fighter ace in history, participated in 825 air battles and shot down 352 enemy aircraft. He did not hesitate to engage in battle with superior enemy forces. In 1945, in just one day he destroyed 11 enemy aircraft. Another time he was shot down behind enemy lines. When an enemy detachment approached, the pilot pretended to be seriously wounded. The ruse worked, and he was sent to headquarters in the back of an ambulance truck. The pilot neutralized the only guard and jumped out of the car on full speed ahead. In the evening of the same day, he crossed the front line under fire and returned to his unit. And in the morning he went into battle again... Agree, it is difficult not to consider this man a hero. Now let’s clarify: the pilot’s name was Erich Hartmann, and he was a pilot of the German Air Force - the Luftwaffe.
We understand heroism as extraordinary behavior dictated by higher goals. But what should be considered such goals? “Of course, there are higher, universal values. And the actions dictated by them will be considered heroic in any culture,” explains Valery Gubin. - For example, salvation human life. But there are also values inherent in each specific social system. They change as society develops, and with them the idea of heroism changes. It is enough to remember the same Pavlik Morozov or Alexei Stakhanov - who would now think of calling them heroes? But their names were sacred to millions of people.” War in this sense stands apart. Like any extreme situation, it creates heroes, although the heroism of one side is mortally dangerous for the other. “For me personally, a hero is more likely the one who finds the opportunity to save lives even in war, rather than the one who goes to his death to kill as many enemies as possible,” says psychologist Dmitry Leontyev. – But in a war situation everything becomes black and white: victory is good, defeat is bad, and no means are excessive. Unfortunately, this logic also applies to terrorists. Consider the rejoicing in Palestine after the September 11 attacks or the glorification of suicide bombers blowing themselves up on buses. For those who lead holy war against infidels, terrorists are heroes. The tragedy is that on the other side the “soldiers” are unsuspecting civilians.”
Threshold of Heroism
Let's hope that we are still able, if we want, to distinguish good goals from bad ones. How do we know if we have the courage to be a hero? “I think it’s most correct to talk about heroism when a person does something beyond his capabilities: physical, mental, spiritual,” says existential psychotherapist Svetlana Krivtsova. Dmitry Leontyev adds that our capabilities are different, and therefore the “threshold of heroism” is individual. This is, in essence, a historical anecdote retold by psychologist Viktor Frankl: “During the First World War, a military doctor, a Jew, was sitting in a trench with his non-Jewish friend, an aristocratic colonel, when heavy shelling began. The colonel teased his friend, saying: “You’re afraid, aren’t you? Another proof of superiority Aryan race over the Semitic." “Of course, I’m afraid,” the doctor answered, “but as for superiority, if you, my dear colonel, were as afraid as I am, you would have fled long ago.”*
Not much research has been devoted to the psychology of heroism. It’s not easy to study it: you can’t create a real threat to life in the laboratory out of scientific curiosity. Therefore, heroic behavior is studied " backdating“, which, according to Dmitry Leontyev, does not always lead to success: “In a sense, a heroic act creates a new personality. And going back to the moment of manifestation of heroism does not necessarily give us knowledge about the psychology of the person who demonstrated it.”
Nevertheless, there are quite convincing classifications of heroism. Psychologist Cynthia Pury, for example, suggests three types of courage**. The first is physical heroism, when a person risks life or health for high goals. The second type is moral heroism, when man walking contrary to generally accepted norms and rules. A typical example is the hero of Alexander Gelman’s play “Minutes of One Meeting” (and the film “Bonus” based on it), who demands that his team not be given a bonus, since the bonus has not been earned. And finally, vital heroism. It involves a person overcoming his own physical or mental disabilities (phobias, addictions), even without any special consequences for others. The most striking example is the fate of the British scientist Stephen Hawking. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis completely deprived him of the ability to move and speak, but Hawking not only did not give up, but also became one of the greatest physicists of our time. Of course, Hawking is unique, but any disabled person who, overcoming his limitations, lives life to the fullest and rejoices every day, or an alcoholic who quit drinking once and for all are also heroes.
Shavarsh Karapetyan
On September 16, 1976, multiple record holder and world champion in scuba diving Shavarsh Karapetyan found himself on the shore of Lake Yerevan at the moment when a trolleybus fell from a bridge into the water. Karapetyan jumped into the lake, managed to break the trolleybus window and get into the flooded cabin. He dived more than 20 times - to a depth of 10 meters, in cold water with zero visibility due to silt rising from the bottom. And saved 20 people. Hypothermia caused bilateral pneumonia, and the cuts led to sepsis. Not only did he survive, but he was able to return to big sport and set another world record. However, this feat is not the only one. Even before that, he was traveling with a group of athletes from a training base when the bus stalled on a mountain road. The driver put the car on the handbrake and got out to inspect the engine. At that moment the brake failed and the bus rolled into the abyss. Karapetyan sat closest to the driver’s cab. He broke the glass, jumped into the driver's seat and, turning the steering wheel, turned the bus across the road, thereby preventing a disaster. And in 1985, he entered a burning building and carried several people out of the fire during a fire in a sports and concert complex in Yerevan. Shavarsh Karapetyan does not see anything surprising in his fate. Abnormal, from his point of view, would be indifference in situations where others need help.
Elizaveta Glinka
Founded by Elizaveta Glinka in 2007, the Fair Aid Foundation takes care of those who have no one to take care of them. About the elderly, whom even their children have forgotten about, about the homeless, to whom doctors refuse to visit, about the dying, for whom there is no place in hospitals. An intensive care physician and specialist in palliative medicine (improving the quality of life of patients in situations where cure is impossible), Elizaveta Glinka deals every day with pain, suffering and despair in a concentration that most of us cannot even imagine. And every day, through her efforts, pain, suffering and despair become less. On the website doctorliza.ru she writes about her patients and her work like this: “They smile when you hold their hand. They calm down because there are those who, without giving hope, do not take it away. They write, call, wait, love. These are living, suffering people who differ from you and me only in that they know their remaining life span. Some are shorter, some are longer. You can't stop loving. You can't force it. Everyone has their own choice... We are trying to help those who no one else can help. Regardless of religion, origin and social status. Help us help them. Thank you. Doctor Lisa."
Sergey Sotnikov
Izhma Airport officially ceased to exist in 2003. The responsibilities of the only remaining employee, Sergei Sotnikov, included maintaining only the helipad in working order. Helicopters don’t need a runway, but for ten years Sotnikov put it in order every day: he cleaned it, cut down the bushes that were making their way through the concrete. Driven local residents, stacking the prepared firewood on the strip. For what? “Just for myself. To make it pleasant,” Sotnikov himself said in an interview. On September 7, 2010, on board a plane flying from the Yakut Polyarny airport to Moscow, all electrical equipment failed. Having no idea where they were, the pilots decided to descend for an emergency landing. And, emerging from the clouds, they suddenly found a free runway. It turned out to be too short for the Tu-154, and the plane slid into the undergrowth. But otherwise the landing went almost perfectly, none of the 72 passengers and 9 crew members were injured. Sergei Sotnikov was awarded diplomas of the Komi Republic and Federal agency air transport, became a laureate of the “Own Track” award named after Vladimir Vysotsky; and users of one of the popular sites, as a token of gratitude, collected 300 thousand rubles and gave him a snowmobile.
Pro Heroes
The work of many people - rescuers, firefighters, police officers - is directly related to risk. And those who used to be called “people of heroic professions” are under the close supervision of psychologists seeking to better understand the origins of heroic behavior. “One of the most important characteristics of such people is stress resistance,” explains Dmitry Leontyev. “And more broadly speaking, resilience.” According to psychologist Salvatore Maddi, who introduced the concept into scientific use, resilience includes three components: the belief that being in the thick of things is more useful than staying on the sidelines; understanding that trying to influence events is always preferable to passivity; and finally, risk taking, the willingness to act without a guarantee of a positive result. Those who have this set of qualities are resistant to stress and act faster and more efficiently in extreme situations***.
But can their actions be considered heroic? “Carrying people out of fire is part of a firefighter’s job, and making emergency landings is part of a pilot’s job,” says Dmitry Leontyev. “And when they behave impeccably in an extreme situation, this deserves the deepest respect.” But they do exactly what they are supposed to do, what they were trained to do - and do not go beyond own capabilities. Let us remember “Seventeen Moments of Spring”: Stirlitz is a knight without fear or reproach, but he does his job. And the real hero is Professor Pleischner.”
Character or environment?
Are there character traits that increase the likelihood heroic deeds? “The feat is unpredictable, and I would not talk about specific features,” answers Dmitry Leontyev. – Rather, one can look for internal sources of heroism. When the situation requires him to press himself into the ground, the hero stands up to his full height. He overcomes the resistance of circumstances, his own body and his own psyche. Such an act is impossible without a fulcrum. But it cannot be found outside. The hero finds a foothold within himself, in his own philosophy, in his own value system.”
Psychologist Philip Zimbardo is also not inclined to explain heroism by character traits. He believes that heroism has more to do with the environment than the individual, and if the right conditions are created, many will behave like heroes. This is confirmed by statistics: after September 11, passengers on American planes more than once risked their lives to help detain terrorism suspects. Social attitudes have changed, and not only the crew now feels responsibility for flight safety. Zimbardo directs the educational project “Imagine yourself as a hero” (Heroic Imagination Project)****. Its goal is to convince children and adolescents that heroism is not the lot of the chosen few (heroes in the ancient sense), that everyone can - and in other situations should - become a hero. “It seems to me that the existential understanding of heroism as overcoming internal limitations contradicts Zimbardo’s idea,” says Svetlana Krivtsova. – The readiness for heroic deeds was cultivated in Soviet children for years, but the result of these efforts was the feeling that Venichka Erofeev expressed: “I would agree to live on earth for an eternity if I had first been shown a corner where there is not always room for heroic deeds.”**** *. Perhaps readiness for heroic deeds is not the right goal? Moreover, today some become heroes because others did not fulfill their responsibilities. “We admire the heroism, for example, of the pilots who landed a faulty plane,” says Valery Gubin. - But this plane flew off 10 years ago and should not have taken off at all. Many exploits are generated by our common irresponsibility. And their reduction would be evidence of the normal development of society.”
One feat and a whole life
The modern understanding of heroism presupposes not one specific act, but a general line of behavior, experts unanimously say.
“Once I witnessed the detention of a criminal,” Valery Gubin gives an example. “He walked straight at the policeman, who was pointing a gun at him. He walked with a grin and muttered: “Well, are you going to shoot? Shoot! It suddenly occurred to me that this man is an unconditional hero in his coordinate system. And that the heroism of one specific act is possible for everyone. This is a natural, almost animal manifestation. And humanity is love, patience, kindness. They cannot be affirmed in one step; they must be affirmed throughout one’s life.” “Freedom, goodness, love have no reason in human nature. They persist as long as we make efforts,” adds Dmitry Leontyev. “And although everyday heroism is more of a metaphor, the one who lifts himself above himself every day by the collar is a real hero.” “We can be satisfied with our action and even proud of it if we have grown to it, if the efforts are adequate to our capabilities, although this is not a feat,” explains Svetlana Krivtsova. “It’s a feat where resources are already at zero.” The greatest heroism is the heroism of “being” when there is no longer “I can”. Just being, day after day, when it’s really impossible, there’s no strength, there’s no health. Don’t drink yourself to death, don’t retreat, don’t get depressed – be.”
Trying to get closer to understanding heroism, I asked my friends and colleagues who they consider today's heroes (we wrote about those who were named more often than others in this article). It turns out that the real heroes for us are those who show courage every day. And moreover, he considers it impossible to do otherwise. I'm not sure my nephew will like it. But he learns that heroes exist not only in the fictional world, although they are not always easy to recognize.

Hero in Ancient Greece In Ancient Greece, a hero was considered a “valiant man, leader.” He must have been a man of exceptional courage and valor.
