Gribanov. Directory "Faithful Sons of the Fatherland: Writers of Russia - Participants of the Great Patriotic War"

Only Moscow and St. Petersburg are represented in the directory. Although the subtitle of the directory contains a link to the whole of Russia.

The compiler limited all biographical information about writers to only one front-line period. Editor-in-Chief reference book, Ivan Kolos believes that this is enough “for the reader to see where, from what fate of the writers their books grew.”

In general, the idea was the most noble - to immortalize all front-line writers, but the execution turned out to be useless.

- Biographical Dictionary "Russian Writers of the 20th Century". P.I. Nikolaev.

In his brief preface, the compiler Pyotr Nikolaev especially notes the achievements of the so-called “village” prose.

The dictionary includes Kurchatkin and Lichutin, Esin and Makanin, Prokhanov and Krupin. But there are no Anatoly Afanasyev and Vladimir Gusev, Ruslan Kireev and Ernst Safonov.

The compiler has not forgotten the postmodernist poets and all meta-metaphysicists. He included Parshchikov and Alexander Eremenko, Prigov and Vsevolod Nekrasov in the dictionary. And for some reason traditional poetry is given selectively. In particular, for some reason Nikolai Dmitriev and Gennady Krasnikov “dropped out”.

The dictionary selectively represents a new generation that has loudly declared itself in the last five to ten years: Pietsukh, Klech, Pelevin, Slapovsky.

And how the material is presented in P. Nikolaev’s dictionary. Perhaps this is the first publication about Russian writers of the 20th century that meets almost all the mandatory attributes of a biographical reference book and at the same time preserves the style features of the authors of dictionary entries. Almost all articles are very voluminous, information-rich and readable.

- Directory "100 poets of the 19th - 20th centuries". Chelyabinsk publishing house "Ural LTD". E.S. Abramovsky.

Judging by the selection of names, Elena Abramovskikh is more attracted to the avant-garde. She found a place for Vertinsky, Okudzhava, but for some reason “forgot” about the main brawler of the Soviet literary era, Yevtushenko, remembered Kharms, but read Tvardovsky, appreciated Brodsky, but missed Yuri Kuznetsov. Each article by the Abramovskys begins with a one-line, or maximum two-line epigraph (for Zabolotsky, she chose the words of A. Tarkovsky: “Not a man, but a skull of the century”). Then there is a short introduction - just one sentence, in which, in a fairly figurative form, an attempt is made to express the essence of the poet or, at worst, to somehow indicate his contribution to world culture. As it was done about Akhmatova: “Don’t disgrace my name!” - her father told her when he learned about her poems. And the “17-year-old crazy girl” chose a Tatar surname, which became a symbol female destiny in Russia. Then the entire biography of the hero is divided into four or five periods with their own names, the key moments of each period are looked for (a significant poetic line, some personal story, a fateful meeting or something else), and in one or two paragraphs, preferably in an expressive form, a description of each life stage is given. And as a result, the image of, for example, Daniil Kharms appears visibly. Abramovskikh read his fate this way. As always, she left the antics of her childhood without unnecessary comments, only one or two significant facts. And then the first stage. Abramovskikh called it: "1922 - 1925: Man-Performance." Then: “Since 1925: Faces and masks”; "1925 - 1928: A gathering of friends abandoned by fate." Then passions heat up: "1926 - 1929: The collision of the oak with the sage." And here is the near denouement: “1930 - 1942: A poet forgotten by heaven.” The final lines of the terrible drama: “In August 1941, Kharms was arrested (for the second time); having feigned madness, he was placed in psychiatric hospital Novosibirsk prison, where he died." The author immediately limited herself to the volume: she devoted exactly two book pages to each poet, and not a line more. Hence the strict principles of selection and construction of material.

2002 - Three-volume "Russian Humanitarian Encyclopedic Dictionary". St. Petersburg State University together with the humanitarian publishing center "Vlados" at the Moscow Pedagogical State University.

The dictionary contains more than 10 thousand entries, including over three hundred entries dedicated to Russian writers of the 20th century.

In the article with the letter “A” it is immediately apparent that the compilers and publishers, according to the once sadly established tradition, have little knowledge of the realities literary life last decade, but at least they did not forget to mention the most significant characters from the history of Russian literature of the 1960s - 1980s. The scientists introduced the front-line soldiers to F. Abramov, V. Astafiev and E. Asadov. Rural prose is personified by M. Alekseev, urban prose by V. Aksyonov. There are fashionable poets of the sixties (in the person of B. Akhmadulina). Literary scholars (M.P. Alekseev, S. Averintsev, I. Andropov, M. Azadovsky) and playwrights (A. Arbuzov, S. Aleshin) are not reliable. There was also a place for Gulag victims (A. Aldan-Semyonov) and dissidents (A. Amalrik, Yu. Aleshkovsky). It’s great that the old guard has not been forgotten (V. Azhaev, M. Aliger, P. Antokolsky). Well, of the relatively new names, only one poet, Yu. Arasov, was included in the dictionary (and not so much for poetry, but for scripts for good films by Sokurov). Not all articles are, of course, equal. Very rarely, but factual errors still occur. Let's say Mich. Alekseev took charge of the Moscow magazine not in 1986, but almost two decades earlier. But there are more comments of a different kind. The authors of the dictionary not only do not know how Russian literature has developed in the last ten years (otherwise how to explain the absence, for example, in the article about Astafiev of references to his novel “Cursed and Killed” and the story “The Jolly Soldier”; for encyclopedists, it seems, last work The writer became "The Sad Detective" written in 1986), they have little idea what happened even in the 1970s - 1980s (judging by the dictionary, Aldan-Semyonov did not create anything after the first book of the novel "Red and White" was published in 1969 ).

A. Ananyev with his “Years without War”, S. Antonov with “Ravines” and I. Akulov with “Cool Kasyan” were not included in the dictionary.

Of course, this to some extent reduces the completeness of the publication.

However, as I studied dictionary entries beginning with other letters of the alphabet, the mood began to change. There are no articles about Yu. Bondarev, D. Balashov, L. Borodin, K. Vorobyov, T. Glushkova, An. in the directory compiled by famous doctors of science. Ivanov, V. Kondratiev, St. Kunyaev, Y. Kuznetsov, V. Krupina, V. Lichutin, G. Markov, B. Mozhaev, E. Nosov, V. Pikula, Y. Polyakov, A. Prokhanov, V. Soloukhin, I. Stadnyuk, N. Starshinov. Although these writers are far from the last rank.

Most of the articles devoted to Russian writers of the 20th century are written in a dry style. curriculum vitae, without any assessment of creativity and life actions. And only a little over two dozen articles are replete with negative reviews and remarks of a negative nature. This will be clear if we read the names of the writers about whom negative judgments are made: E. Isaev, A. Prokofiev, V. Kataev, N. Gribachev, A. Sofronov, M. Sholokhov. Most of the reproaches addressed to these writers are fair. We must honestly admit: Yegor Isaev is a bad, useless poet. Yes, absolutely right, Alexander Prokofiev “in the 60s spoke out against the young poets A. Voznesensky, E. Yevtushenko and others, and later - against I. Brodsky.” Valentin Kataev “in politics, however, did not allow himself any free-thinking and, being a member of the CPSU since 1958, obediently fulfilled all its demands (for example, he signed a letter inspired by the authorities and published on August 31, 1973 condemning A. Solzhenitsyn).” By the way, why is the dictionary entry listing almost all of Kataev’s creations, except for the 1980 story “Werther has already been written?”

Literary magazines are also presented in a very biased and biased manner in the dictionary. It is clear that " New world"from the time of Tvardovsky is described in pathetic tones and exclusively as a fighter against conservative and neo-soilist tendencies.

I remember that the works of Blok, Gorky or Bunin were always assessed not only by how these writers reacted to the October Revolution of 1917. Everyone was also interested in the aesthetics of their books. Speaking about the “New World”, the authors of the dictionary describe in detail how the authorities persecuted and expelled Tvardovsky. That's right, that's how it happened in life. But it is not clear why the article O The magazine "Young Guard" only mentioned in passing that Anatoly Nikonov was leaving his post. And in the article about “Our Contemporary” not a word is said at all about the persecution that S. Vikulov’s first deputy, Yuri Seleznev, was subjected to in the early 1980s - for daring to immediately publish V. Krupin’s story “Forty” in one issue day", articles by V. Kozhinov and A. Lanshchikov and a passable, but someone at the top did not like the review by S. Semanov.

Dictionaries are created for this purpose, so that people can find truthful information in them. In this case, the authors chose a different method: fraud and omission. Let's say that for some reason they were embarrassed to mention that after the death of V. Kozhevnikov, the magazine "Znamya" was headed by the poet Yu. Voronov for two years before the arrival of G. Baklanov. Baklanov left Znamya in 1993, and for nine years now the critic S. Chuprinin has been the “main standard-bearer.” But these facts are not in the article about “Banner”. There is complete silence in the dictionary about who replaced Tvardovsky in the New World. After all, Zalygin did not come out of nowhere in 1986. The 16-year period of the magazine from the departure of Tvardovsky to the appearance of Zalygin can be assessed differently, but it was, and the helm was then alternately held by Kosolapov, S. Narovchatov and intelligence officer V. Karpov, who then more years passes after the war, the more “languages” he captures in his interviews. By the way, after Zalygin, “New World” was headed by critic A. Vasilevsky.

Looks like bias is the main thing distinguishing feature"Russian Humanitarian Encyclopedic Dictionary".

In the same way, domestic historians, philologists and northern experts are subjectively represented in the dictionary. After all, this is nonsense: world-famous historians Boris Rybakov, A. Okladnikov and Nikolai Pokrovsky were not included in the dictionary. The great linguist Academician Oleg Trubachev and the greatest Slavist Vladimir Toporov are not in the dictionary. Of the first tier of northern scholars, V. Avrorin, G. Menovshchikov, and Val were not included in the dictionary. Chernetsov, P. Skorik, S. Stebnitsky and O. Sunik.

Officially, the reference book is called "Russian Humanitarian Encyclopedic Dictionary". The emphasis is on the word "Russian". This means that the editors wanted to represent all of Russia.

In fact, it would be nice for such publications to mark the authorship of each article. Otherwise, we have to scold the entire editorial board of the dictionary along with its consultants en masse for the biased selection of personalities and the mistakes made. But among the consultants of this dictionary there are many decent people, including the late Yu. Lotman and A. Panchenko.

And the third remark concerns the article bibliography. It remains unclear to me why it is in the certificates about N. Zabolotsky and B. Zaitsev, but is absent in the articles about E. Zamyatin or A. Platonov. It seems that when the dictionary was just being compiled, left hand I didn’t know what the right one was doing. Well general conclusion like this: it seems that academic and university sciences have lost their potential. Anyway, so humanitarian encyclopedic dictionaries are not compiled.

December 14, 1825 on Senate Square The Decembrist uprising occurred. One of the leaders was K.F. Ryleev. His name is forever included in the annals of Russian history. An integral part of Ryleev’s life was his literary and civil work. Kondraty Fedorovich Ryleev was born on September 18, 1895. in the village of Batov, Sofia district, Petersburg province. The small estate brought in little income, and the parents could not give the future poet an excellent education and upbringing. Ryleev's father, lieutenant colonel of the Estland regiment, having retired, managed the Kyiv estate of the Galitsyn princes. He treated his son coldly, and by nature he was stingy and cruel. But Ryleev’s mother was cordial and kind, and her son became attached to her. In 1801. the boy was sent to the First Cadet Corps, where he spent thirteen years. Here friendships were made, literary interests were awakened, and civic feelings and concepts arose. The world at that time was filled with anxiety and expectation. A short period of liberalism has begun in Russia - “The Alexander Days are a wonderful beginning.” The Tsar's promises to grant a constitution and free the peasants foreshadowed significant changes. 1814 Ensign Ryleev went abroad as part of an artillery brigade. He saw Poland, Germany, and Switzerland. Later, in his testimony at the investigation, Ryleev admitted: “I initially became infected with the love of freedom during campaigns in France in 1814 and 1815. Upon returning to his homeland at the end of 1815 and until the end of 1818, Ryleev served as an officer in the Ostrogozh district of the Voronezh province. Here he met the daughter of a local landowner, Natalya Mikhailovna Tevyashova, whom he married in January 1819. In Ostrogozhsk, Ryleev continued to write poetry. The young poet imitates Zhukovsky and Batyushkov and the elegiac poetry they created at school. The Ostrogozh period was the time of mastering the style and forms of psychological lyrics. In 1818, Ryleev retired. Many honored officers left the army, in which drill, shagistics, and cruelty to soldiers were imposed. “For the current service,” Ryleev wrote to his mother, “scoundrels are needed.” After his marriage, the poet first left for Batovo, and then, in the autumn of 1820, settled in St. Petersburg. This is where his civic and literary career began. Ryleev’s ideological and literary maturation was facilitated by major international and domestic events. Upon his arrival in St. Petersburg, Ryleev met prominent writers and journalists, and in April 1821. on the recommendation of A.A. Delvig he is accepted into Free Society lovers of Russian literature, where advanced writers gathered. Further development These beginnings in Ryleev’s work occur in 1821-1823, not in odes and elegies, but in thoughts. Dumas were the transitional genre that helped Ryleev combine civic thought and personal experiences. The poet wanted to awaken civic feelings in the noble youth, instill in them love for the fatherland and hatred of despotism, incite them to active and conscious action, ignite them with historical examples.. Ryleev demanded unconditional dedication from the younger generation. In 1823, Ryleev was accepted into the Northern Society of I.I. Pushchin. In 1824, after a meeting with P.I. Pestel noticeably deepened Ryleev's revolutionary sentiments. If in 1821 - 1823 the poet still believed in enlightened absolutism, then from 1824 he defended the republican form of government and with all his heart wished for the death of autocracy. The arrival of Ryleev immediately revived secret organization Decembrists. Soon the poet's personal merits were recognized by everyone, and he entered the supreme body of society - the Duma, rallying around himself an influential and radical group of republicans. In November 1825, Alexander the First suddenly died. The Decembrists decided to use the right moment for an armed uprising. At the poet’s apartment, one meeting followed another. Ryleev, having soberly assessed the situation, found that the Decembrists were not ready to perform. He showed exceptional resourcefulness and perseverance, outlining practical measures. The uprising was defeated. Ryleev was arrested and imprisoned in the Peter and Paul Fortress. After a painful investigation, the poet, among the five Decembrists, was sentenced to execution by quartering, but then it was replaced by hanging. In the early morning of July 13 (25), 1826, “great citizen” - that’s what Decembrist A.V. called Ryleev. Poggio was executed. With the death of Ryleev, his civic passion did not fade, his poetic voice did not stop. The traditions of Ryleev’s martial poetry, saturated with great social ideas and feelings, nourished Russian literature. And today Ryleev’s work is remembered and loved, for it - to use the expression of Alexander Blok - “has grown into the Russian heart with its roots”

He was one of the creators of the popular almanac "Polar Star", which published romantic works, the main idea of which was the idea of citizenship. Ryleev’s poems “Voinarovsky”, “Nalivaiko”, his thoughts are full of political associations.
