And Soloukhin biography

Originally from Alepin. A century ago, Vladimir Soloukhin was born-a convinced monarchist, a talented singer of the Russian village for a hundred years ago, writer Vladimir Soloukhin was a figure in the late Soviet and post-Soviet literature, which is difficult to enter into a certain context of his time, to enroll in some kind of writing group. Those are probably interesting.

Writer Vladimir Alekseevich Soloukhin. One of those who talentedly sang the Russian rural way, the nature of the Middle Strip Russia - and not only in prose, but also in verses. But this "village" was closely friends with the poet Andrei Voznesensky. Patriot and anti -Western - yes. At the writer's meeting of the year, he advised Boris Pasternak to leave his homeland. And a month later it will be thrown away like an egg eaten, like a squeezed lemon.

”But at the same time he traveled the whole world, was friends with representatives of emigration in Europe and the USA, and the copies of the manuscript of his main, he believed, was afraid of its arrest in the USSR, kept one - in Paris, one in San Francisco and one in Frankfurt. In the year, during a trip to the United States, he made an incredibly daring act - he visited Alexander Solzhenitsyn in Vermont and spoke with him for a whole day.

Vladimir Soloukhin talentedly sang a Russian village way, the nature of the middle strip of Russia - and not only in prose, but also in verses. And - a convinced monarchist who wrote a different pamphlet about Lenin "Reading Lenin" and published it in the German publishing house "Sowing". In Soviet times, he defiantly wore a ring on his finger with the image of Nicholas II, cast from a golden five -ruble coin.

It was him in the caricature image of Savva Bogoroditsky in his novel "What do you want? Writer Vladimir Alekseevich Soloukhin G. But what was he undoubtedly firmly consistent - this is in love for ancient Russian art and architecture, icon painting and wooden architecture. It is no coincidence that many years of friendship associated him with Ilya Glazunov.

The museum "and" black boards: notes of a beginner collector "already in the years loudly raised the question of the need to preserve the dying monuments of antiquity and Orthodox shrines. He became one of the main initiators of the reconstruction of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow and headed the fund for the collection of money for its construction. In this temple, he was the first after his discovery and he was a rest after death in the year.

Vladimir Alekseevich Soloukhin was born on June 14 in the village of Alepino now Vladimir region. Father was a wealthy peasant, the son of the owner of the wax and brick factory. Mother did everything so that the children were educated. After studying at school, the last of ten children in the Soloukhin family entered the mechanical college, where he suddenly became interested in poetry and even printed his poems in the regional newspaper "Call".

In M, he was drafted into the Red Army and, perhaps, in the future would have replenished a number of Frontary writers. But fate ordered differently. A tall village guy was taken to the internal troops to guard the Kremlin. It’s true or not, but once during the guard he seemed to attract the attention of Churchill, who arrived in Moscow for negotiations, and he said something to him in English, whom the broad-up sergeant did not understand.

After the war, he entered the poetic seminar at the Literary Institute. He began to be published as a poet with the collection “Rain in the Steppe”, but the real fame brought him the lyrical story “Vladimir Gaches”, printed in the “New World” in the year. A track essay, written in the footsteps of traveling in their native Vladimir places, is read in one breath today: so many a nimble confession of the protagonist, who turned out to be a voluntary “tourist” in his small homeland.

Actually, this distinguished Soloukhin's prose among other "villagers". It was rather poetry in prose. Vladimir Soloukhin poses artist Ilya Glazunov. Didactism in his poems was already noticed by his Litinsky teacher Pavel Antokolsky. But, perhaps, it is precisely this desire - even in verses to lead to one distinct thought in combination with lyrical inspiration - and attracted fans of his prose, poetry and journalism.

He was understandable to his readers in thought and is close in spiritual mood. Therefore, Soloukhin’s poems, I remember this well, in the years they were incredibly popular! Probably, not even less than the poetry of the "populists" of Yevtushenko, Voznesensky, Christmas - only the circle of readers was somewhat different. The poem "Three Cheremukhovy Days" is very indicative.

He invariably read it during his public speeches. Three days of flowering bird cherry have become a metaphor for short -term happiness, the price of which is more than the rest of life. Oh, three bird cherry days! Let the rest just summer. Soloukhin's journalism was sometimes gambling and in many ways unfair. To put on quotes from Lenin and declare him a villain, the forerunner of Stalin, or to come up with his myth about the bloodsucker Gaidar on the basis of the Khakass legends of the Civil War - to put it mildly, not the right path for the researcher.

But Soloukhin remained himself here.Whether there was a rod in it - it’s hard to say. But the root was undoubtedly. From there - from Alepin, from the Vladimir region, where he restored his tribal house and spent every summer there with his family.
