Anton Svinin - this is the name of this hero of the comedy "Tobacco Captain". Actor Victor Krivonos played a negligent student.

Love

Anton's mother did not want to let her son go, she persuaded the tsar to have mercy, but all her requests were in vain. The order of the sovereign sounded like this: "Mamenkin's son must be trained in Amsterdam!"

Ivan

And the basis of navigation was studied by his servant, disguised as a master's dress. Intelligent Ivan answered the questions of teachers, did the drawings, mastered all the secrets and subtleties of ship art, and still had time to clean boots, dress and wash the lazy barchuk.

And now the Russian autocrat solemnly meets the young men who returned home after training. He is ready to put the midshipmen in captains. Anton Svinin has the best certificate. Therefore, the king honored him with great honor - to enter the harbor majestic handsome frigate "Ingermanland". But the illiterate actions of ignoramuses led to the fact that the ship was on the brink of death. And this was Ivan's finest hour. He boldly rushed to the aid of his master, demonstrating the wonders of folk savvy. Skillful and fast teams of the guy took the ship out of a dangerous situation.

The king learns about the substitution, the situation is clarified. As a reward, the sovereign buys a servant from Svinin, paying for it with a tobacco seed, which was highly valued.
