In which century the Twardowsky lived. Family dramas Alexander Tvardovsky

Who hides the past jealous
That is unlikely with the future in Lada ...
A. T. Tvardovsky, "On the right of memory"


Alexander Trifonovich Tvardovsky appeared on June 21, 1910 on the farm Zagorne, located near the village of Selo (now Smolensk region). The surrounding area, with the words of the poet itself, "was aside from the roads and was pretty wild." Tvardovsky's father, Tronon Gordeevich, was a person a complex, with a solid and volitional character. The son of the retired landless soldier, from the young age he worked as a blacksmith and had its own distinctive style and style of products. His main dream was to get out of the peasant class and ensure a comfortable existence for his family. The energy in this was not to take it - in addition to the main work, Tronon Gordeevich rented the forge and took contracts for the supply of the Sen Army. Shortly before the birth of Alexander, in 1909 his dream was realized - he became a "landowner", acquiring an unsightly plot of Thirteen hectares. The Tvardovsky himself recalled on this: "We, little kids, he inspired respect for this podzolic, acid, unkind and stingy, but our land, our land, as he was joking," the estate "..."

Alexander was born in the family with the second child, the eldest son Kostya was born in 1908. Later, the Tryphon Gordeevich and Mary Mitrofanovna, the daughters of the deceased nobleman Mitrofan Plescachevsky, three more sons and two daughters were born. In 1912, the parents of the Trending and Elder - Gordea Vasilyevich and his wife Zinaida Ilinichna moved to the farm. Despite the simple origin, and Tronon Gordeevich, and his father of Gordea Vasilyevich were literate people. Moreover, the father of the future poet knew the domestic literature well, and, according to the memories of Alexander Tvardovsky, the evening on the farm was often dedicated to reading books Alexei Tolstoy, Pushkin, Nekrasov, Gogol, Lermontov ... Many verses Tronon Gordeevich knew by heart. It was he who in 1920 presented his first book, Tomik Nekrasov, who replaced the potato at the bazaar. This cherished book by Tvardovsky kept throughout his life.

Tronon Gordeevich passionally wanted to give his children a decent education and in 1918, he arranged the older sons of Alexander and Konstantin to Smolensk gymnasium, transformed shortly to the first Soviet school. However, the brothers were studied there for only one year - during Civil War The school building was requested for the needs of the army. Until 1924, Alexander Tvardovsky changed one rural school to another, and after the end of the sixth grade, he returned to the farm - returned, to the Word, Komsomol. By that time, he had already written poems for four years - and the further, the stronger and stronger they "took" a teenager. The Tvardovsky-Sr. did not believe in the literary future of the Son, laughed at his passion and scared poverty and hunger. However, it is known that he loved to boast by the printed speeches of Alexander, after his son took the Selkror of Smolensk newspapers. This happened in 1925 - at the same time the first poem of the Tvardovsky "Izba" was published. In 1926, at the provincial Congress of Selkors, the young poet made friends with Mikhail Isakovsky, who first became his "conductor" at the world of literature. And in 1927, Alexander Trifonovich went to Moscow, so to speak, "for exploration." The capital stunned him, he wrote in the diary: "I walked on sidewalks where the Utkin and the heat walk (popular poets of that time), great scientists and leaders ...".

From now on, the native Zagorns seemed to the young man with a dull outfill. He suffered, being torn off from "great life," passionately wishing to communicate with the same as he himself, young writers. And at the beginning of 1928, Alexander Trifonovich decided to a desperate act - moved to live in Smolensk. The first months of Eighteen-year-old Tvardovsky was in big city Very and very difficult. In the autobiography, the poet notes: "I lived along the beds, the corners, hanged by the editors." The leaving of the village, he could not feel a city resident for a very long time. Here is another later recognition of the poet: "In Moscow, in Smolensk pursued a painful feeling that you are not at home, you don't know something and you can get ridiculous every moment, to get lost in the unfriendly and indifferent world ...". Despite this, Tvardovsky actively joined the literary life of the city - became a member of the Smolensk branch of the RAPP (Russian Association of Proletarian Writers), one and as part of the Brigades challenged on collective farms and wrote a lot. The closest friend of him in those days was a critic, and later a geologist's scientist Adrian Macedonov, who was a year older than Tvardovsky.

In 1931, the poet had his own family - he married Mary burner, a student of the Smolensky Pedigree Institute. In the same year, they had a daughter of Valya. And next year, Alexander Trifonovich himself entered the Pedagogical Institute. In him he studied a little over two years. The family was required to feed, and as a student was difficult to do it. Nevertheless, his position in the city of Smolensk was strengthened - in 1934, Tvardovsky as a delegate with a deliberate voice attended the first All-Union Congress of Soviet Writers.

After his departure from the generic nest, the poet extremely rarely looked at Zagorire - approximately once a year. And after March 1931 and visit him, actually, it became no one. Back in 1930, the Tryphona Gordeevich launched a high tax. In order to save the situation, the Tvardovsky-senior joined the agricultural artel, but soon, without citing him, took his horse from the artel. Flying from prison, the Tvardovsky-Sr. Salved to Donbass. In the spring of 1931, his family, remaining on the farm, "smoked" and sent to the Northern Urals. After some time, the head of the family came to them, and in 1933 forest trails brought everyone to today's Kirov region. - To the village of Russian Turk. Here he donkey under the name of Demyan Tarasova, the remaining members of the family were worn by this surname. This "detective" ended in 1936, after Alexander Trifonovich published the poem "Country of Murai", which served to him "pass" in the first ranks of Soviet writers and into the world of big literature.

Over this product, Tvardovsky began working in 1934, being impressed by one of Alexander Fadeev's speeches. By the fall, 1935 the poem was completed. In December, she passed her discussion in the metropolitan office of writers, and it came out for the Tedrid Triumphant. A spoonful of the fly was only a negative review of Maxim Gorky, but Alexander Trifonovich did not fell in his diary, writing in his diary: "Grandfather! You just pointed my feather. I will prove that you gave the mistake. " In 1936, "Country Murai" published in the literary magazine "Red Novy". I was openly admired by Mikhail Svetlov, Chukovsky's roots, Boris Pasternak and other recognized writers and poets. However, the most important connoisseur of the poem was sitting in the Kremlin. They were Joseph Stalin.

After the loud success of the "Country of the Maraura", the Tarovovsky came to the village of Russian Turk and took the relatives to himself in Smolensk. I posted them in my own room. In addition, she was no longer necessary for him - the poet decided to move to Moscow. Soon after the move, he entered the third course of the famous IFLI (Moscow Institute of History, Literature and Philosophy), through which many famous writers took place at the end of the thirties. Teaching level B. educational institution was, by the standards of that time, unusually high - the largest scientists worked in IFLI, the whole color humanitarian Sciences Those years. Persons were both students - it is worth named at least famous later poets: Seeds Goodzenko, Yuri Levitansky, Sergey Narovchatova, David Samoilova. Unfortunately, many graduates of the institute died at the fronts of the Great Patriotic War. The Tvardovsky who came to Ifley was not lost on a general, brilliant background. On the contrary, according to the records of Narovchalov, "in the Ifliic Sky, he stood out of the size of a figure, character, personality." The writer Konstantin Simonov - at the time graduate student of IFLI - confirms these words, remembering that "Ifli proud of Tvardovsky." It was due to the fact that while the poet "humbly" studied, critics for all the frets overlooked His "Country Murai". No one did not dare to call the Tarovsky "Kulatsky Podonic", which often happened before. He graduated from IFLI Alexander Trifonovich with honors in 1939.

For the sake of justice, it is worth noting that in these prosperous years, unhappiness did not go around the writer. In the fall of 1938, he buried the dead son who deceased from diphtherite. And in 1937 he was arrested and convicted for eight years of his cortic best friend Adrian Macedonov. In early 1939, a decree was published about awarding a number of Soviet writers, and the Tvardovsky among them. In February, he was awarded the Order of Lenin. By the way, among the awarded Alexander Trifonovich was hardly the youngest. And in September of the same year, the poet was called in the army. He was sent to the West, where, working in the editorial office of the "West Motherland" newspaper, took part in joining the USSR of Western Belarus and Western Ukraine. With this war, Tvardovsky collided at the end of 1939, when he was sent to the Soviet-Finnish Front. The death of fighters horrified him. After the first fight, which Alexander Trifonovich watched from the regimental KP, the poet recorded: "I returned in a serious state of bewilderment and depression ... It was very difficult to internally handle it myself ...". In 1943, when the great domestic, in the work of "two lines", the Tvardovsky remembered the fighter boy who died on the Karelian Isthmus: "As if dead, lonely, / as if I was lying. / Suitable, small, killed / on that war that is unfinished, / forgotten, small, lying. By the way, it was during the Soviet-Finnish war in a number of fechens, the entry to which the Tvardovsky came up with, for the first time a character appeared under the name of Vasya Terkin. The Tvardovsky himself subsequently said: "It was conceived and fictional terkin not one me, but by many people, both writers and my correspondents. They actually participated in its creation. "

In March 1940, the war with Finns ended. The writer Alexander Beck, who often communicated at the time with Alexander Trifonovich, said that the poet was a man "alienated from all some seriousness, as if at a different step." In April of the same year, "for the valor and courage" the Tvardovsky was awarded the Order of the Red Star. In the spring of 1941, the next high award was followed - for the poem "Country Murai", Alexander Trifonovich was awarded the Stalin Prize.

From the first days of Great Patriotic Wardowsky was at the front. At the end of June 1941, he arrived in Kiev to work in the editorial office of the Red Army newspaper. And at the end of September, the poet according to his own words "barely got out of the environment." Further milestones of the bitter way: Mirgorod, then Kharkov, Valuyki and Voronezh. At the same time, in his family it happened - Maria Illarionna gave birth to Olya's daughter, and soon the whole family of the writer went to the evacuation to the city of Chistopol. Tvardovsky often wrote a spouse, telling her about editorial weekdays: "I work quite a lot. Slogans, poems, humor, essays ... if you lower the days when I'm on trips, then there is a material for every day. " However, over time, the editorial teaching began to disturb the poet, his entaurs of "big style" and serious literature. Already in the spring of 1942, Tvardovsky decided to: "I won't write bad poems ... The war is serious, and poetry is obliged to be seriously ...".

At the beginning of the summer, 1942, Alexander Trifonovich received a new appointment - in the "Krasnoarmeysian truth" newspaper on the West Front. The editors were located in a hundred kilometers from Moscow, in the current Obninsk. From here, his way to the West began. And it was here that Tvardovsky visited a magnificent thought - to return to the poem "Vasily Terkin" conceived at the end of the Soviet-Finnish war. Of course, now the theme was the Patriotic War. Significant changes and the image of the main character - is clearly a folklore character who brought the enemy to the bayonet, "like sheaves on a fork", turned into an ordinary guy. The genre designation "Poem" was also very conditional. The poet himself said that his story about the Russian soldier is not suitable for a single genre definition, and therefore he decided to call him just "Book about the fighter". At the same time, it was noted that in structural terms "Terkin" dates back to works by the Bogwelded Tvardovsky Pushkin, namely, "Eugene Onegin", representing a set of private episodes, which, like a mosaic, add up to the epic panorama great War. The poem is written in the rhythmic chastushki, and in this meaning it seems to naturally grow out of the strata of the people's language, turning from " artistic work", Who became a concrete author, in the" Self-Consumption of Life ". That is how this work was perceived in the soldiers' mass, where the first published heads of "Vasily Terkina" (in August 1942) were acquired by a huge popularity. After its publication and reading on the radio to Tvardovsky, countless letters of front-line workers who learned themselves to the hero themselves. In addition, requests sounded in the messages, even the requirements must certainly continue the poem. Alexander Tifonovich performed these requests. Once again, Tvardovsky considered his work ended in 1943, but again numerous requirements for the continuation of the "book about the fighter" forced him to change the decision. As a result, the work consisted of thirty chapters, and the hero in it reached Germany. The last line "Vasily Terkina" he composed on a winning night for May 10, 1945. However, after the war, the flow of letters did not dry for a long time.

The story of the portrait of Vasily Terkina is curious, reproduced in millions of copies of the poem and executed by the artist Reléysky, who worked during the war, together with the Twardowski in the newspaper "Krasnoarmeyskaya Pravda". Not everyone knows that this portrait is made from nature, and, consequently, Vasily Terkina had a real prototype. This is what Veresky himself told about this: "I wanted to open a book with a poem a frontispis with a portrait of Terkina. And it was the most difficult. What is terkin, ama? Most of the soldiers whose portraits I threw from nature, I seemed something like Vasily - who is a sort of eye, who is a smile who is a person who is destroyed by freckles. However, none of them were terkina ... Every time I, of course, was shared by the results of searches with Twardovsky. And heard each time in response: "No, not he." I myself understood - not he. And once, a young poet came to the editor, a young poet, who came from the Army newspaper ... called his Vasily Glotov, and he immediately liked everyone. He had a cheerful temper, a kind smile ... After a couple of days, a joyful feeling suddenly pierced - I found out in Glotch Vasily Terkina. With my discovery, I ran to Alexander Trifonovich. He first raised his eyebrows in surprise ... The thought of "try" to the image of Vasily Terkina Glotovka seemed funny. When I drew him, he broke into a smile, she squinted himself, which was even more made him like the hero of the poem, which I imagined him. Having draws His experience and in the profile with the head down, I showed the work of Alexander Trifonovich. Tvardovsky said: "Yes." It was all, since then he never allowed attempts to depict Vasily Terkina to others. "

Before the victorious night, Alexander Trifonovich had to survive all the difficulties of military roads. He lived literally on wheels, taking a short creative holiday vacation in Moscow, as well as to visit the family in the city of Chistopol. In the summer of 1943, Tvardovsky, together with other soldiers, freed Smolensk region. Two years he did not receive any news from his relatives and was terribly worried about them. However, nothing wrong, thank God, did not happen - at the end of September, the poet met with them near Smolensky. He visited then the native Farmers Zagorne, turned into a literal sense in the ashes. Then there was Belarus and Lithuania, Estonia and East Prussia. The victory of Tvardovsky met in Tapiau. Orest Veresky recalled this evening: "Salute rattles from different species . All shot. He shot Alexander Trifonovich. The sky from Nagan's colored tracks flew into the brotheal tracks, standing on the porrup porch - our last military gambler ... ".

After the end of the war, the rain of awards fell on the Tvardovsky. In 1946, the Stalinist Prize was awarded for Vasily Terkin's poem. In 1947 - another for the work of the "House of the Road", over which Alexander Trifonovich worked simultaneously with the "terkin" from 1942. However, this poem, according to the author's characteristic, "dedicated to the life of a Russian woman who survived the occupation, German slavery and the liberation of the Red Army soldiers "It turned out to be obscured by the deafening success of the" book about the fighter ", although in amazing life authenticity and artistic advantages was hardly inferior to" Terkina ". Actually, these two poems perfectly complemented each other - one showed the war, and the second - her "wrong".

Twardovsky in the second half of the forties lived very actively. He performed many duties in the Writers' Union - was his secretary, supervised the poetry section, was part of all sorts of commissions. During these years, the poet visited Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Poland, Albania, East Germany, Norway, went to Belarus and to Ukraine, first visited Far East, visited his native Smolensk region. "Tourism" it was impossible to call these journeys - he worked everywhere, spoke, talked with writers, was printed. The last is amazing - it is difficult to imagine when Tvardovsky managed to write. In 1947, an elderly writer Nikolai TV showed a poet hello, as the Twardovsky himself used to say, "from the next world." It was a review of "Vasiole Terkin" Bunin. Ivan Alekseevich, quite critical responding about Soviet literature, agreed to see the poem, presented to him by Leonid Zurov, almost forcibly. After that, the bunin could not calm down for several days, and soon he wrote his admiration for his youth: "I read the book of Tvardovsky - if you are familiar and meet him, please pass on the case that I am (as you know, reader demanding and picky) admire his talent . This is truly rare book - What freedom, what is the accuracy, what a wonderful delete, accuracy in everything and unusually soldiers, the national language is a single fake, literary-vulgar word! .. ".

However, not everything went smoothly in the life of the Tward, they happened both chagrins and tragedies. In August 1949, Trefon Gordeevich died - the poet was very worried about the death of his father. Alexander Trifonovich and Overlapping, which turned out to be generous second half of the forties. In the late 1947 - early 1948, his Book "Motherland and Khorsina" was defeated criticism. The author was accused of "the narrowness and pettyness of views on reality", "Russian national limitations", the absence of a "state view." The publication of the work was banned, but the Twardovsky did not lose. By that time he had a new, significant case, fully captured him.

In February 1950, the leaders of the largest literary bodies passed the permutation. In particular, the head of the magazine " New world"Konstantin Simonov moved to the" literary newspaper ", and the released place was offered to take Tvardovsky. Alexander Trifonovich agreed, since he had long dreamed of such a "public" work, which was not in the number of spoken speeches and meetings, but in the real "product". In fact, it was the fulfillment of his dreams. For four years, the Tvardovsky editorial event, who worked in truly, nervous conditions, managed to make a lot. He managed to organize a magazine with a "face with an unassured expression" and create a cohesive team of like-minded people. His deputies were the long-standing comrade Anatoly Tarasenkov and Sergey Smirnov, "opening" for a wide reader of the defense of the Brest Fortress. Alexander Trifonovich's magazine did not immediately become famous for his publications, the chief editor looked at the situation, the experience gained experience, looking for people close to the worldview. Tvardovsky and himself wrote - in January 1954 compiled a plan of the poem "Terkin on that light," and after three months she finished her. However, the lines of fate turned out to be whims. - In August 1954, Alexander Trifonovich with a scandal was removed from the post of chief editor.

One of the reasons for his dismissal was the work of "Terkin on that light", named in the statement of the Central Committee of the Central Committee Paskvyl to Soviet reality. In some ways, officials were right, quite correctly, the nurses in the description of the "light" satirical image of the working methods of party organs. Khrushchev, who replaced the leader of the Stalin party, described the poem as the thing "politically harmful and ideologically vicious". It became a sentence. Articles with criticism of works appearing on the pages of the magazine collected on the "New World". In the internal letter of the Central Committee of the CPSU, the result was summed up: "The editors of the magazine" New World "struck politically compromising writers ... who had a harmful influence on the Tward." Alexander Tifonovich in this situation behaved courageously. Never - up to the most last days Life - who did not doubt the truth in the truth of Marxism-Leninism, he recognized his own mistakes, and, taking the whole blame for himself, he said that he was personally "supervised" the criticism of the article, and in some cases they even printed them against the opinion of the editorial board. Thus, the Tvardovsky has not passed its people.

In subsequent years, Alexander Trifonovich traveled a lot around the country and wrote a new poem "For Dal Dal". In July 1957, the Cultural Culture of the Central Committee of the CPSUs Dmitry Polikarpov arranged Alexander Timphonovich meeting with Khrushchev. The writer, with his own words, "suffered ... the same thing that usually spoke about literature, about her troubles and needs, about her bureaucratization." Nikita Sergeevich wished to meet again, which happened in a few days. "Twistering" conversation lasted a total of four hours. Its result was that in the spring of 1958, the Twardovsky again proposed to lead the "New World". By reflection, he agreed.

However, to take the place of the editor-in-chief of the journal, the poet agreed on certain conditions. IN working notebook It was recorded: "The first is a new editorial board; The second one is half a year, and even better a year - not to carry out in the closed place of executions ... "Under the last Twardovsky, first of all, meant the curators from the Central Committee and Censorship. If the first condition with some creak was fulfilled, then the second is not. Censored Pressing began as soon as the new New World Stalllegia prepared the first numbers. All the loud publications of the journal were difficult, often with censorship seizures, with reproaches in "political myopia", with a discussion in the culture department. Despite the difficulties, Alexander Trifonovich diligently collected literary forces. The term "Novomirovsky author" during his editoriality began to be perceived as a kind of quality mark, as a certain honorary title. It concerned not only prose that glorified the Magazine of the Tvardovsky, - a considerable public resonance also caused essays, literary criticism and critical articles, economic research. Among the writers who have become famous thanks to the "New World", it is worth noting Yuri Bondarev, Konstantin Vorobyeva, Vasil Bykov, Fyodor Abramova, Fazille Iskander, Boris Mozhaeva, Vladimir Wornovich, Chingiza Aitmatov and Sergey Zalina. In addition, on the pages of the magazine, the old poet told about meetings with popular Western artists and writers, re-opened forgotten names (Tsvetaeva, Balmont, Voloshin, Mandelstam), popularized avant-garde art.

Separately, it is necessary to say about Tvardovsky and Solzhenitsyn. It is known that Alexander Tifonovich very much respected Alexander Isaevich - and as a writer, and as a person. The attitude of Solzhenitsyn to the poet was more difficult. From the very first meeting at the end of 1961, they found themselves in an unequal position: Tvardovsky, who dreamed of a fair social construction of society in the communist basis, saw his ally in Solzhenitsyn, without suspecting that the writer was "open" to them a long time ago gathered in " crusade"Against communism. Collaborating with the magazine "New World", Solzhenitsyn "Tactically" used the editor-in-chief, which he did not even know.

The history of the relationship between Alexander Tvardovsky and Nikita Khrushchev is also curious. The Issumile First Secretary has always treated the poet with great sympathy. Thanks to this, it was often that "problematic" writings were saved. When Tvardovsky understood that own forces It is not possible to break through the wall of party and censorship, he turned straight to Khrushchev. And he, listening to the arguments of the Tward, almost always helped. Moreover, in every way "elevated" the poet - at the XXII Congress of the CPSU, who adopted a program for the rapid construction of communism in the country, Tvardovsky elected a candidate for the members of the Central Committee of the Party. However, it should not be considered that Alexander Trifonovich in Khrushchev became a person "inviolable" - just on the contrary, the chief editor was often crushed, but in hopeless situations had the opportunity to apply to the very top, through the heads of those who "held and did not let." So, for example, it happened in the summer of 1963, when the leadership of the Writers' Union and overseas guests gathered at the European Community session of the European Community, held in Leningrad, flew at the invitation of the Soviet leader who was on the rest of the Soviet leader at the Pitsund Country. Tvardovsky captured with him a previously forbidden "Terkina on that light." Nikita Sergeevich asked him to read the poem and reacted at the same time very vividly, "she laughed loudly, he frowned." Four days later, "Izvestia" published this essay, the whole decade lying under the prior.

It should be noted that Tvardovsky has always been considered "away" - such a privilege in the USSR was given a little. And he was to such an extent an active "away", which happened, refused travel abroad. Interesting story It happened in 1960, when Alexander Trifonovich did not want to go to the United States, referring to the fact that he needed to complete work on the poem "For Dal Dal". The USSR Culture Minister Ekaterina Fursheva understood him and allowed to stay at home with the words: "Your work will certainly have to be in the first place."

In the fall of 1964, Nikitu Sergeyevich was retired. From this time, the "organizational" and ideological pressure on the Tvardovsky magazine began to grow steadily. The rooms of the "New World" began to linger in censorship and leaving late in abbreviated volume. "Cases are bad, magazine as if in the blockade," wrote Tvardovsky. At the beginning of the fall, 1965, he visited Novosibirsk - the people of Valil on his performances with the shaft, and the high bosses were shaken from the poet as expected. When Alexander Trifonovich returned to the capital, a note was already in the Central Committee of the Party, in which the "anti-Soviet" conversations of the Tvardovsky were described in detail. In February 1966, the premiere of the "learned" performance was held on the "Terkin on that light" poem set at the Satira Theater Valentin Plekhek. Vasily Turkina played a well-known Soviet actor Anatoly Papanov. Alexander TriPhonovich, the work of the pilot liked. The showrooms of the Achlags went beyond the anchlages, but already in June - after the twenty-first representation - the performance was banned. And at the XXIII congress of the party, last in spring 1966, the Twardovsky (candidate for members of the Central Committee) did not even elected a delegate. At the end of the summer, 1969 a new studio campaign broke out against the magazine "New World". According to her results in February 1970, the Secretariat of the Writers' Union decided to dismiss the half of the members of the editorial board. Alexander Trifonovich tried to appeal to Brezhnev, but he wanted to meet him. And then the chief editor voluntarily resigned.

The poet has long been with life for a long time - it is clearly visible by his poems. Back in 1967, he wrote amazing lines: "At the bottom of my life, at the bottom of the bottom / I wanted to sit in the sun, There is no, nothing that on the occasion I visited here and noted by checkmark. " In September 1970, a few months after the defeat of the "New World", Alexander Trifonovich struck stroke. He was hospitalized, but in the hospital he was diagnosed with a launched lung cancer. Last year The lives of Tvardovsky lived semi-welded in the country village Red Pahra (Moscow region). December 18, 1971 there was no poet, he was buried at the Novodevichy Cemetery.

The memory of Alexander Tvardovsky lives and today. Let him rarely, but his books reprinted. In Moscow, there is a school of his name and a cultural center, and in Smolensk the name of the poet is wearing a regional library. A monument to Tvardovsky and Vasily Terekina stands from May 1995 in the center of Smolensk, in addition, the monument to the famous writer was opened in June 2013 in the capital of Russia on passionate boulevard near the house, in which the editorial office of the New World was located at the end of the sixties. In Zagorire, in the homeland of the poet, the manor of the Tvardovsky was restored in the home of the poet. The poet's brothers - Konstantin and Ivan were assisted in re-creation of a generic farm. Ivan Trifonovich Tvardovsky, an experienced Master-Pilgelorevicker, made most of the objects of the situation. Now in this place is the museum.

According to the materials of the book by A. M. Turkova "Alexander Tvardovsky" and the weekly edition "Our story. 100 great names. "


Brief biography of the poet, the main facts of life and creativity:

Alexander TriFonovich Tvardovsky (1910-1971)

The father of the future poet Tripon Gordeevich Tvardovsky was the seventh son in a large peasant family, worked by Kuznets. Mother, Maria Mitrofanovna, nee Plescachevskaya, was from the ruined nobles. Coming out married a simple man, the girl fell into a completely alien to her. Tronon Gordeevich turned out to be a man harsh, his wife and children were frantic.

June 8 (21 in a new style) of 1910, the son was born, who was baptized by Alexander. It happened in the village of Zagorux Smolensk province. The boy turned out to be a senior child, there were also the brothers Vasily, Konstantin, Paul, Ivan and Sisters Anna and Maria.

The Twardovsky had relatively many books, so with the work of A. S. Pushkin, N. V. Gogol, M. Yu. Lermontova, N. A. Nekrasova for the first time Sasha met at home - they were read winter evenings aloud. Under the influence of the Great Russian Classics, the boy early began to compose poems. Father is the passion of his son did not approve, regarded as balobiness.

Tvardovsky gave to learn to rural school. At fourteen, the future poet began sending small notes to Smolensk newspapers, some of them were printed. Then he dared to send and poems.

The poetic debut of the Tvardovsky took place in 1925 - in the newspaper "Smolenskaya Village" his poems "New Izba" were published.

After the end of the rural school, the Tvardovsky moved to live in Smolensk. At first he lived in full poverty. The poet shelted the Smolensk writer Ephraim Marienkov. They lived in a tiny passage room without furniture, slept on the floor, and sheltered with newspapers. I had to exist "on a penny literary earnings and bidding thresholds."

In the Smolensk Print House, Alexander Trifonovich met his future wife Maria Illarionna. She performed as a critic and reviewer. But at some point, the sake of love decided to abandon the literary career and dedicated her life to her husband. Tvardovsky's parents were against young daughter-in-law, as she finally led the Son from the family. Soon the young people had two daughters - Valentine and Olga - and Alexander Son.


During the years of collectivization, the poet family was decorated, although even the middle peasants were dragging with difficulty. During the democratization of the Soviet society, the poet was accused of a betrayal sent to the family link. Already much later, documents were discovered from which it follows that, hardly became known about their arrest, Alexander Trifonovich began to go to instances and bother. However, the secretary of the regional committee Ivan Rumyantsev, subsequently also repressed and shot, said to the poet:

- Choose: either dad with mom or revolution.

The Tvardov hint understood and was forced to stop the troubles. He tried with all possible ways to help exile. The brothers from the settlement is still running away. Once, they all appeared in front of the Tvardovsky in the center of Smolensk near the House of Soviets. Alexander Tifonovich then already knew that the case was established to him in the NKVD, he was even excluded from the Union of Writers, poisoned in newspapers. If he hid the brothers, he would have walked through the stage. And the poet was driven by the brothers. For some reason, this Tvardovsky could not forgive the brothers, but the RUSSIAN Russian journalists.

As soon as Tvardovsky has reliable connections in Moscow, he first went to the Northern Ural himself and took the whole family.

The works of Tvardovsky were printed in 1931-1933, but Alexander Trifonovich himself believed that he began as a writer only from the poem about the collectivization "Country of Murai", which was published in 1936. The poem was successful for readers and critics.

In early 1937, a warrant for the arrest of Tvardovsky was issued in Smolensk. The first to take a friend of the poet Macedonov. After half an hour, Alexander Tifonovich arrived, but he was already rushed away in the Moscow train.

In the capital of Tvardovsky, the head of the Writers' Union, Alexander Alexandrovich Fadeev, who noted the talent of a young poet in a conversation with Stalin. With it, native Tvardovsky were liberated.

According to the personal instructions of Joseph Vissarionovich the persecution of the poet were discontinued. In 1939 he was awarded the Order of Lenin. It is curious that in the days of awarding the Tvardovsky was a student of the IFLI, and in exam tickets included questions on his poem "Country of Murai".

Immediately at the end of the Tvardovsky Institute, called in the Red Army. Alexander Trifonovich participated in the liberation of Western Belarus from Polish occupation. Since the beginning of the war with Finland, already in the officer rank, he was in the post of special corrosion of the military newspaper.

Bo Time Great Patriotic War The Great Poem "Vasily Torkin was created. The book about the fighter "is a bright embodiment of a Russian nature and a nationwide patriotic feeling. "This is a truly rare book: what freedom, what a wonderful delete, what is the accuracy, accuracy in everything and what extraordinary people's soldier's language - neither a bitch either zadorinka, nor a single fake, ready, then there is a literary-vulgar word!" "So I was appreciated by the masterpiece of the Tvardovsky independent reader - Ivan Alekseevich Bunin.

Almost simultaneously with the "terkin" and verses of the "Front Chronicle", the poet created a great poem "I am killed by Rzhev" and started the "House of the Road" after the war.

But then Alexander Trifonovich began a creative crisis. He did not go poems. Twardovsky began to think about suicide, and then I washed in the company with Fadeev.

In 1950, Tvardovsky was appointed chief editor of the new world magazine, who led twenty years with a break (1950-1954 and 1958-1970). The poet was attracted to the "New World" pages of such significant masters of the Russian word, like Viktor Astafyev, Vasily Belov, Fyodor Abramov, Sergey Zaligin, Vasily Shukshin, Yuri Bondarev. In the journal published initially and Alexander Solzhenitsyn.

Contrary to strong pressure from the editorial office of Tvardovsky, who firmly defended the position of high national poetry, categorically refused to publish the poems of Joseph Brodsky in the "New World". Alexander Trifonovich recognized that poetry needed any, but not on the pages of his magazine. However, when Brodsky was arrested and tried, Tvardovsky was outraged and tried to prevent the process, arguing that it was impossible to plant poets.

In 1970, Alexander Trifonovich was removed from the post of chief editor of the New World. The poet fell into depression, then he had a stroke and his hand took away. Then he had cancer.

Alexander Trifonovich Tvardovsky died in the Red Pahra near Moscow on December 18, 1971. He was buried at the Novodevichy Cemetery in the capital.

Alexander TriFonovich Tvardovsky (1910-1971)

We are all s school years Remember: "Cross, crossing! Coast left, shore right ... "And then, more often in a mature age, we open the deep wisdom of the famous Sixtish Tvardovsky:

I know. No my guilt

In the fact that others did not come from the war.

That they are who older who are younger -

Stayed there and not about the same speech

That I could, but I failed to save, -

It's not about that, but still, yet, yet ...

And "I am killed under Rzhev" - this is a ballad for all times.

Poles "Vasily Terkin" and "For Dal Dal" became phenomena not only literary life Countries, but in the literal sense of the life of the country, in the state sense. They caused such a response in the people, that people lived them, as they live by the most significant events of real historical life - as, for example, the first flight of a person in space or victory in the oldest war.

Alexander Trifonovich Tvardovsky was aware of what his work means in the destiny of the country. And although he was a rather restrained and modest person, but his comparison, at least in this poem, speak of many ways:

All the essence in the same Testament:

What I say, until Tia,

I know it better than everyone in the world -

Alive and the dead, - I only know.

Say the word to anyone else

I could never for anything

Contribute. Even lion Tolstoy -

It is impossible. I will not say, let him God.

And I'm only mortal. For his answer,

I'm talking about in my life:

About what knows best of all in the world

I want to say. And so, as I want.

Tvardovsky said his word about collectivization (the poem "Country of Murayevia"), about the Great Patriotic War (his poem "Vasily Terkin" estimated even so irreconcilable to soviet power and to the Soviet literature, like I. A. Bunin), about the post-war decades (the poem "For the far distance") ... He was called the poet of a folk life, because in his work he captured the whole difficult, painful, intense spiritual process that was The people of the entire XX century.

Alexander Trifonovich was born on 8 (21) June 1910 in the village of Zagorja Smolensk province in the family of the Kuznez peasant. Until 1928, he lived in the village, he studied at school, worked in the forge, was the secretary of the rural Komsomol cell. Since 1924, he began to print notes and poems in Smolensk newspapers. Since 1928, he lived in Smolensk, studied in pedagogical Institute. Cooperating in Smolensk newspapers and magazines, he traveled a lot in Smolensk, as he himself wrote, "delivered with passion for everything that was a new, first-folding system of rural life."

As far as Nor Hayali collective farms and all sorts of begging with collectivization, but they will not go anywhere with true joy, with which, then all the new people met and many villagers, including poets.

Along the village, from the hut and to the hut,

Sat the hurry poles ...

Topped, played wires, -

We have never seen such.

This is written by Mikhail Isakovsky in 1925.

In the late 1930s, the verses of the young Tward critic wrote: "The poems of the Tvardovsky breathe young, cheerful, full benevolence faith in the fact that the new one will move everywhere. But it catches, without making the feelings, the ideas of those people who have entered into this new of the past world ... "Because Tvardovsky and became great that he was not a straightforward, flat chamfer - he saw the situation in the country in all its complexity, and so Imprint. He never discharged "from the ship of modernity."

In 1936, the poet came to study in Moscow - at the Filology Faculty of the Moscow Institute of History, Philosophy and Literature, which graduated in 1939. It is said that on one of the Tvardovsky exams got a ticket about the poem of A. Teplovsky "Country of Murai", which by this time became popular and was included in the curriculum.

During the Great Patriotic War, the poet worked in front-line seal. It was on the fronts that his famous "book about the fighter" of the poem "Vasily Terkin", who received popular recognition was born. Tvardovsky wrote in autobiography: "This book was my lyricist, my joke, song and a teaching, anecdote and a promscar, talking on souls and a replica for occasion." Once Thomas Mann wrote: "Who is the writer? The one whose life is a symbol. " Of course, the life of the Tvardovsky is a symbol, because his life and creativity concerns many and many Russian people of the XX century. And not only Russian. "Vasily Terkin" is now inextricably linked on the feet of our people in the Great Patriotic War. The language of this poem is so alive, folk, organic, that many and many lines have become folk victims, folk speech fabric.

Frontovik himself Poet Evgeny Vinokurov writes about Tvardovsky: "Patriotic, conscientious, a kind poetry teaches him, brings up, instructs the meaning of the Poetry of the Tvardovsky Veliko. And here, speaking by saying it, "neither to subscribe, nor add" ... In Nekrasovsky, he will be happy about the country, and this alarm is felt in every word. Great historical cataclysms, the fate of millions of people - this is what has always been interested in the poet, this is always subordinated to his pen. The theme of the people became his internal lyrical theme ... "

This is how - the theme of the people has become the internal lyrical theme of the Tvardovsky. He may have the only in the Russian poetry of the 20th century there are no poems about love - about love for his beloved. There are poems about the mother and poems about the Motherland. This is his talent that his whole boaty love was aimed at his country, to his people. And this is no damage to talent, but its deep originality.

Twardowsky after the war produces a book for a book. The poem "House by the Road" - 1946. The poem "For Dal - Dal" - 1960. The poem "Terkin on that light" - 1962. And between these epic things, the collections of lyrics, a two-volume, four-member emerge selected works. Tvardovsky awards by state prizes. The head of state N. S. Khrushchev called him no other than "our necracis".

Tvardovsky led the magazine "New World" - published in it "one day of Ivan Denisovich" Solzhenitsyn, the first works of young then Vasily Belov, Fyodor Abramova, Vasily Shukshina, Yuri Kazakova, Boris Mozhaeva, Yuri Trifonova ...

The editorial event in the "New World" is a whole era with a lot of events, collisions and even tragedies. Apparently, the dissertations on this topic will be written or wrote. Tvardovsky made a good and wise on the field of the editorial. There was a lot of struggle, sometimes the Tvardovsky argued with the "line of the party", sometimes she was inferior, sometimes he was inferior to his personal weaknesses ... In a word, we should not judge. But if the meticulous reader wants to know the story of the magazine "New World" during the Twardowski, he will open a lot of interesting things. In the end, the poet was removed from the leadership "New World". December 18, 1971 he died.
