A brief retelling of the "Inspector" may be required from students in literature lessons. It develops the speech and communicative competence of schoolchildren. In addition, a competent omission of details that do not carry a semantic load, but only testify to the good memory of students, will be needed when writing essays or presentations.

Revisor Brief: Act 1

The mayor tells the officials the news: an auditor is secretly going to the city. They think that the purpose of his arrival is to find out if there are any traitors in the city before the war. The mayor accuses officials of misbehavior, bribery and advises, at least for appearances, to restore order. He also asks the postmaster to open and read every letter that comes in. He readily agrees, since he has been doing this for a long time anyway. Dobchinsky and Bobchinsky suggest that a certain Ivan Alexandrovich Khlestakov may be the auditor. He arrived from St. Petersburg, has been living in a tavern for more than a week and does not pay for anything, takes everything oncheck. The governor orders the quarterly to sweep all the streets, demolish the old fence (to create the appearance of violent activity), and place gendarmes at crossroads. He himself goes to the tavern to get acquainted with the visitor. The mayor's wife and daughter send the maid Avdotya to find out who this official is.

A Brief Retelling of The Inspector General: Act 2

Osip, Khlestakov's servant, lies on the master's bed and recalls how the owner squandered all the money on the way home from St. Petersburg, as he played cards and lived beyond his means. The mayor comes. He sends Osip to the innkeeper for tobacco. The servant says that they owe him three weeks in advance and they won't give him anything, but he leaves anyway. Khlestakov recalls how an infantry captain robbed him in Penza, and comes to the conclusion that the city is generally bad, because nothing is given on credit here. He again demands to serve dinner on credit. He could sell the suit and cover some debts, but he prefers to keep it to arrive home in a chic look. Servant brings lunch.

Khlestakov is dissatisfied with its quality, but eats it anyway. He is informed that the mayor has arrived. During a conversation between them, Bobchinsky hides behind the door. Khlestakov suddenly begins to shout and threaten that he will complain to the minister himself. The mayor tries to bribe him. Khlestakov does not take her, but asks for a loan. The mayor instead of 200 rubles slips him 400. Khlestakov honestly says that he is going to the village to his father. The mayor takes these words only as a disguise, he invites"auditor" to visit. It was decided to postpone the payment of accommodation for later. Dobchinsky, at the request of the mayor, takes the notes to his wife and Strawberry to a charitable institution.

Revisor Brief: Act 3

Ladies receive a note from their husband, which informs them that they will be visiting a young St. Petersburg nobleman. They are excitedly discussing which toilets to choose. Osip brings his master's suitcase to the mayor's house. The servant is well fed there. Khlestakov is pleased with the tour of the city, the hospital, and a hearty breakfast. He wonders where he can play cards. He is assured that there are no such establishments in the city. When Khlestakov was introduced to the mayor's wife and daughter, he began to compose that "on a friendly footing" with both Pushkin and the head of the department department, that he was an irreplaceable person everywhere.

Despite the fact that Khlestakov lied a lot, everyone believes him. The Inspector goes to rest. Everyone is in a panic, scared even if only half of what he said is true. Osip, in his own words, added fuel to the fire even more. The mayor gives a bribe to him. Then he puts quartermen on the porch so that they do not let any petitioners through to Khlestakov.

A brief retelling of the story "The Government Inspector": 4th act

Lyapkin-Tyapkin lines up officials in a military way. They prepared bribes for Khlestakov under the pretext of offerings from the nobility. The "auditor" agrees to take this money only on loan. Everyone asks to intercede about him before the sovereign. Khlestakov guessed that hismistook for a "bump". He describes this amusing story in a letter to his friend Tryapichkin, a newspaper correspondent, to have it printed. Osip advises the owner to get out as soon as possible before the real auditor arrives. Various petitioners come to Khlestakov. He himself flirts in turn with his daughter, then with the mayor's wife. First one, then the other asks for a hand. Then he borrows more money from the mayor and leaves for his father, promising to return in a couple of days, as he betrothed his daughter.

Short retelling: Gogol, The Government Inspector, Act 5

Ladies dream about how they will move to the city, how the mayor will get a promotion. But for the time being, it was necessary to deal with the merchants on the spot, who came to the "auditor" with a complaint against him. Everyone congratulates the mayor on happy changes. The postmaster comes and reads Khlestakov's letter to Tryapichkin. The mayor is furious. And only now everyone understands that in Khlestakov there was nothing resembling an auditor. Dobchinsky and Bobchinsky, who were the first to spread the rumor about the arrival of an important official, were recognized as the culprits of the incident. The gendarme enters the room and reports that the auditor has arrived in the city and demands everyone to him. The play ends with a silent scene.
