Arthur Archie Biography
Consciousness replaces those moments that we do not want to remember. And I replaced this case with all sorts of or by crook. It was very difficult then. I participated in the filming of the television program “Self -Made” - about those who made themselves. And the journalists decided to record an interview with my father. Little Archie with her mother. By that time, I left Belarus, where my parents lived, lived in Moscow, worked, I had a family, my son grew up.
With my father, after his divorce from my mother, I already talked much less. The film crew went to my father. During an interview, he unexpectedly opened up for everyone, told a heartbreaking story about how they took me from an orphanage in Moscow with his mother. And one day friends, acquaintances began to call me, they saw the announcement of the television program, which said that Archie was a foster child.
I turned on the TV, found the desired television channel. I saw the announcement and so I learned about my adoption. The secret was revealed, and I tried to get along with a new truth. He began to call the film crew, but they had not taken the phone. Journalists called me the next day, said that they have an interview with my father, that I can see. Then I had, as they say, a breakup.
I cried when I listened to the story of Bati. You see, I had a happy childhood, a beautiful family, mom and dad, and now it became known that they took me from the orphanage. Has your attitude to her changed? From this very moment I began to appreciate my mother even more. He began to respect her life positions, again survived those cases from childhood, when she literally hid her wings, protected, saved me.
I found an explanation for many moments that were for me, let's say, inexplicable. I realized that our discrepancies with my mother in some issues were easily explained by the fact that we are not relatives, and it was difficult for us to understand each other at a glance or half-loud, as often happens in the mother and child. Imagine that you opened a notebook, wrote the word: "Composition." What next?
First I have to drink a glass of water! My mother ... She is beautiful, no matter what. She is magnificent. Her heart is so huge that I and the whole world that she gave to me fit in it. I do not know how to say what it is. She's just mom. And she is my blood. I was in clinical death. They didn’t let anyone into intensive care. Mom saved me. She got a job as a nurse in this hospital to be in intensive care with me.
And I also had some terrible diathesis, there was hellish pain, my skin was burning, and my mother sold all her jewelry to pay for medicines and treatment. We then lived in Germany, there are doctors and went out. Here is my mother, just a guardian angel. Mom, of course, took me to different circles and in the section. I blew dust from me, stroked my socks. I was sick a lot in childhood, so we often studied the school curriculum at home with my mother.
Archie with the eldest son Gleb. And Dad, of course, wanted me to become a military man. I still remain a fan of all technology. My son Gleb and I visit Batu, and I am soon going with them both once again for fishing.
I decided to tell her all what I heard, and to ask her himself. Gleb and I drove KM, then I smelled my grandson. At first she talked with him, she played out, filled with emotions and love, and then I just sat in front of the window. He told mom that we need to talk, come on, they say, tell everything as it is. They promised that no one in life will ever know about it, because the child, that is, I have become relatives for them from that moment.
Well, all in this spirit. Mom is a believer, gave a word and kept a promise - unlike her father. Mom says that when I saw my blue eyes in the orphanage, I realized that these very eyes, behind which she came. Well, the curls of her, of course, were struck. I was the same blond as my son Gleb Arturovich, so my hair color has changed only by year. Even my mother and Batya were hooked that my age was very small.
Interestingly, I knew, I felt that they were not mine, because I felt it with my heart. What did you do with this new information about yourself? Here one life was before, and I am in it so straight by Archie, “tear off the head”, absolutely his own, a party dude who worked a lot, always believed in some of his goals. Archie with one and a half year old daughter Alena.
He says that the child still lives in him. And although they were not always righteous, for me it was an honor to go through them. There were many mistakes, of course, I didn’t even want to remember the most tough ones, but you won’t get away from the past, it always lives with us. Today I am friends with my own, those Archie, who was before I found out that he was born with the name and surname of Vova Burchakov.
And all. It turned out that she lives nearby, around the corner. Moreover, it turned out that for several years we went to the same temple. I came to Easter for the procession precisely in this church, and she was there. But we did not know about each other. That is, once a year stably we were in a single space, can you imagine?It is this temple that I have very long enough, and I still go to it.
Then I tried to get into her place a million times, lose the situation, look for an explanation for this. It is impossible to give any comments to the human act, because we are all different and situations are also different. But what has already been done is done. I was interested in another question why the story did not develop further with me in any way, because if my father had not talked about the events of summer ago, then my mother and I would not have met, or what?
I would probably like it differently. Well, now we communicate. Without much addiction, but there is communication. I then had a “jaguar”, we sat down, I turned the ignition, and I had a song: “Vertinsky in a banalno lemon-lemon-lemon-lemon-lemon. And her mother burst into tears again, because she, it turns out, her grandmother sang this song in childhood as a lullaby.
These are interesting things occur in life. Why are you interested? For five years in a row, I have been presenting the nomination “Television” at the competition for five years, my colleagues and I have been examining a huge number of films. In one summer, 3 thousand children rest in the camp and present their projects. Buffer communication, master classes, exchange of experience-this is generally a different world.
In the Medveditsa camp for gifted guys, I give lectures, I also always do it with great pleasure. Archie with his son and father. And I also go to the Kolomensky orphanage “Nadezhda” with Galya Gubanova with great joy, I try to share this feeling, because children who are left without parents need all this. Children are all mine. Yes, simply because a child does not die in me!
Well, I also have a summer son Gleb Arturovich and one and a half year old daughter Alena Arturovna. It is great when there are children around, because there are no other people's children. What do you think you need to help children from orphanages find future parents? We can scream that we come to this world alone and leave this world alone, that we do not confuse loneliness and self -sufficiency.
But still, every person needs people who love him, who stroke him on the head, hug him who believe in him, who help him, who scold him, instruct and teach him, but do it always for good and with love. Perhaps that is why. All photos are from Archie's family archive.
