Biography Alexey Turbin

The first was the novel “White Guard”, and two years later the author was asked to create a play for the theatrical production of Konstantin Stanislavsky. So the second work appeared - "Days of the Turbins." Alexey is the eldest of the three children of the turbines. The biography and characteristics of the character in the novel and the play are not identical. Creating a character novel "White Guard" is autobiographical.

Turbine is the surname that the grandmother of the author’s author's grandmother bore in girlhood. Therefore, the history of the creation of the characters of the work is simple. In the image of Alexei Turbin, Mikhail Bulgakov portrayed himself, and the family as a whole is the Bulgakovs, but in an abbreviated format. Alexey Vasilievich Turbin is not married, unlike Bulgakov.

When the author wrote both works, his wife was Tatyana Lappa. The lack of a woman in the novel biographers interpret as a sign of cooling in relations between spouses. It turned out that Tatyana was not destined to become a prototype of the book heroine, although some of her features were received by Elena Turbina, a sister of Alexei. The eldest son in the family.

He received primary education at the Alexander gymnasium, and then graduated from the University. With the outbreak of World War I, he went into the army. He fought for three years. At the beginning of the year he was demobilized, and a new peaceful stage has come in his life. Family characteristics: in May, the turbines buried a mother who died of illness. Their father died much earlier, but the exact date is not indicated.

After the death of the mother of Turbin, the question torments the question: “How to live? The novel also shows Sergey Talberg, captain, spouse of Elena, and a distant relative of the family Lariosik Larion Surzhansky. He has a purely peaceful profession in the novel, although he becomes a military doctor. Age - 28 years. In the play, Alexei is 2 years older and his type of activity changes.

He is an artillery officer. Mikhail Bulgakov, like his first hero, was a doctor in his life, but Zemsky, because he never fought on the front of the First World War, and he was 32 years old at the time of writing of the White Guard. The novel ends with the dreams who see the turbines sleeping in the house, including Alexei, and in the play he dies. Dreams are a reference to the aphorism "The night is the darkest before dawn." The novel takes place on the eve of the New Year in the city where several armies are “found”: the white, red, German imperial, Ukrainian national led by the hetman and the cavalry of Petlyura.

The troops of the latter step on the city. Upon learning of this, the Germans are going to leave the settlement, and Talberg leaves with them. Hetman representatives of the German headquarters advise to do the same. Turbines are in the living room, voluminous with forebodings. They discuss whether Petliura will take the city or not. Soon Talberg appears. The officer announces that he was leaving with a German train, but without a wife, and went in for Elena to collect his things.

Due to the flight of the headquarters, only a small detachment of cadets remains to protect the city from Petlyura. Further events in the book and the play "Days of the Turbins" vary.

In the novel, the battle with the cavalry of Petlyura is conducted by Colonel Nay-Turs and dies, and Alexei makes his way home at night, but he will notice the Petliurians and begin to pursue him. Alexey Turbin was wounded in his left hand, but got to the house. In the play there is no Colonel Nay-Turs. The battle leads turbines and dies. The appearance and character of Alexei Turbin from Bulgakov’s novel “White Guard” turbine is a blond, smoothly shaved.

He is 28 years old, but the author calls him gloomy and looks older than his age. In a home environment, dressed in a jacket, blue pants and home shoes.

He seems to be growing up, and his image is rethought by the author. About Alexei in the novel "White Guard" Bulgakov writes "Sleep Man".

He is not capable of physical violence, although he understands his inevitability. In the play "Days of the Turbins" the hero becomes more decisive. This is probably due to the hopes of the author. During the writing of the first work, they were, but two years later faded away. Therefore, the author finally kills the hero in the last epic battle, thereby emphasizing that the role of the White Guard on the historical stage is completely played and is not subject to restoration.

Relations of Alexei Turbin with others with the relations of people with each other in these works by Mikhail Bulgakov are double -planned. In a simple version: Alexei Turbin does not particularly like anyone and does not hatch anyone. He is even, calm and balanced. One of the characters speaks of Nikolai Turbine that he is kind, then switches to Alexei and reports that he is also kind, but as if more hates.

The relationship between the author’s people was not too worried. This confirms the text. The first phrase of the work begins with the words "Great was a year and scary." In the last paragraphs, the writer gives a description of the cross of Vladimir, the upper crossbar of which is lost in the darkening sky. It seems like it is a sword stuck in the ground. Centuries will pass, everything will disappear: sword, suffering, blood, body and deeds.

Only the stars will remain. Bulgakov asks a rhetorical question about why people do not want to see the stars.The author takes the technique of epic descriptions from Alexei Tolstoy. With their help, he tries to show that the main relations in the novel by a person with eternity. Therefore, his Alexei in the White Guard - “rag”, according to the description of the author.

In M, the novel was already transferred to the screen, director Sergei Snezhkin. Alexei Turbin in the new film "White Guard" was played by Konstantin Khabensky. The author describes interesting facts Kyiv, but never mentions the name of the city in the novel.

The only heroic character of the White Guard is Colonel Nay-Turs. Bulgakov characterized him as the ideal of Russian officers.

In the play, this image merges with the image of Alexei Trubin, and the character is removed from the plot. The prototype of Ni-Turs is called Count Fedor Keller.
