Character Story
His parents were the spouses Tenardieu , who settled in a shack in Paris at Gorbot, 50-52 under the name Zhondret. Gavrosh had two sisters - Eponina and Azelma . The boy, disliked by his parents, lived more on the street, he was served as a refuge by a sculpture of an elephant (more precisely, a full - scale model of the planned sculpture) on Bastille Square . He was in contact with dangerous criminals from the Cockerel Hour gang, but did not participate in the crimes (except that he helped Tenardieu while escaping from prison).
In the parents' house, Gavrosh meets Marius Ponmersi, a young revolutionary who consciously abandoned the state and position of the bourgeois and decided to live independently. Marius introduces him to other supporters of General Lamarck , helping whom Gavroche dies from a bullet on June 6, 1832 on one of the barricaded streets of Paris .
Gavrosh played a huge role in the preparation of the uprising and its implementation, for a long time he watched people in the city, and delivered important information to Marius and other revolutionary “ friends of the alphabet ”. It was he who helped the rebels to recognize the identity of Inspector Javert , who secretly penetrated the barricades. Thus, he saved the rebels from a speedy death, but they still died the next day. Gavrosh was one of the first to die, and his death personifies the defeat of the uprising, the unfulfilled hopes of the people for freedom and prosperity.
Gavrosh, like other homeless people, was called gamenes (the closest Russian word is “tomboy”).
Gamen (Gavroche) is the personification of Paris , and Paris is the personification of the whole world.

Gavrosh Song
The beginning of the song, which Gavrosh, who was hit by a bullet, did not have time to finish, with the winged words - “ Voltaire is the fault of everything, Russo is the fault of everything ” [1] :
On est laid à Nanterre,
C'est la faute à Voltaire,
Et bête à Palaiseau,
C'est la faute à Rousseau.
All the freaks in Nanterre ,
Seek fault in Voltaire
All the fools in Palezo ,
Seek Guilt at Rousseau [2] .
