Those who were born in Kuban will say - there are no miles further

“Where I was born, I came in handy there”

Russian proverb

A wonderful children's writer, Vladimir Nesterenko, lives in Kuban. His work is known not only in our Krasnodar region. The talent of the Kuban writer was noticed by recognized names in children's literature Agnia Barto, Sergei Mikhalkov, Valentin Berestov.

V. Nesterenko was born in 1951 in the village of Bryukhovetskaya. While studying at school, he, like many of his peers, wrote poetry. They were published by the regional newspaper “Builder of Communism,” which was edited by P.E. in the early 70s of the last century. Pridius, who became one of the first mentors of the future writer.

But the Moscow poet Georgy Ladonshchikov advised a graduate of the Adygea Pedagogical Institute to write poetry for children in 1973 at one of the seminars for young poets. After college, Vladimir Nesterenko worked as a school teacher for a year, and in the fall he was drafted into the army. The whole class saw him off, and no sooner had Nesterenko arrived at the unit than all 35 people sent a letter with New Year’s greetings. My colleagues were jealous: no one received so many letters.

Private infantry regiment Nesterenko followed G. Ladonshchikov’s advice when he was already serving in the ranks of the Soviet army in Khabarovsk. The ordinary soldier published his poems in the regional newspaper “Young Far East” and the military newspaper “Suvorov Onslaught”.

After serving in the army, V. Nesterenko returned to the Bryukhovetsky district, where he was invited to work in the district Komsomol committee, and then he came to the radio and newspaper. But V. Nesterenko always had a sponsored kindergarten, where he came with poems. At first I read from a notebook, and in 1980 in Moscow, the publishing house “Children's Literature” published the first book “Freckles”. Soon several more books were published, and Vladimir Dmitrievich Nesterenko was accepted into the Writers' Union.

A writer from the Kuban outback managed to interest venerable metropolitan publishers. Nesterenko considers Agnia Barto his “godmother,” who selected his poems at the seminar and recommended them for publication. V. Nesterenko has been writing poetry for children for more than 30 years. Publishing houses in Krasnodar, Rostov-on-Don, and Moscow have published about 40 books by the Kuban poet. Their total circulation exceeded 2 million copies.

The works of V. Nesterenko were included in anthologies and anthologies of children's literature, and in textbooks on Kuban studies. More than 50 songs have been written based on the poet’s poems. Our fellow countryman is the author of the magazines “Murzilka”, “Funny Pictures”, “Anthill”, and many newspapers. Funny poems, riddles and tongue twisters from Nesterenko were included in the one-volume “Travel with Murzilka”, which contains the best publications of the magazine over its 70-year history.

V. Nesterenko is a great friend of children's libraries. On the initiative of the regional children's library named after the Ignatov Brothers, a collection of the poet “Our Motherland – Kuban” was published, which became a good help for students of the history of their native land.

The working life of the writer from Bryukhovetskaya has been connected with journalism for many years: for more than 20 years he has been the editor of a regional radio, his own correspondent for the Kuban News newspaper, the editor-in-chief of the Bryukhovetsky News regional newspaper, and a correspondent for the Kuban Today newspaper.

Nesterenko also writes literary parodies. Some of them were included in the 3rd volume of the “Kuban Library”, and in the 7th volume of this publication Vladimir Nesterenko acts as a compiler of works by prose writers and poets writing for the younger generation. Nesterenko has collected over forty authors - venerable and little-known, whose creations are worthy of the attention of children and their

parents, teachers, educators. Essays, articles, and journalistic materials by V. Nesterenko are published by Rossiyskaya Gazeta, Don magazine, Krestyanin weekly, and other periodicals.

Vladimir Dmitrievich was awarded the medal “For Labor Distinction”, has the title “Honored Journalist of Kuban”, laureate of the Krasnodar Territory Administration Prize in the field of culture for works for children.

In honor of the 60th anniversary of the birth of V.D. Nesterenko was awarded a memorial badge from the Murzilka magazine.

These quiet places are called home

Vladimir Dmitrievich Nesterenko knows how to find the golden key to any heart. Like the great storyteller G-H. Andersen had “Galoshes of Happiness”, so the wonderful poet Vladimir Nesterenko has “Magic Boots”. A lot of them. And it just seems to him that they are “on the wrong foot.” Children and adults read his poems and become kinder.

The sun looked over the earth

Each ray left a mark

There is no more important thing in the world,

How to give warmth and light.

"Sun".

And these poems can also express the life and creative credo of V. Nesterenko. The main source of warmth and light in Nesterenko’s poetry is love for one’s native land, one’s home and loved ones. In the artistic world of the poet, any path from home should always lead to home:

Darkness. Only light in the windows.

It's not easy to walk in the dark.

But the moon has its own path

Steet on my way.

And right up to the threshold

the path brought me

"Moon Path"

and the best and quietest places are “called homeland”:

This is the Beysuzhok river -

Blue thread.

Here is a green bank

The distance behind him is steppe.

Here the grass is always thick,

Horses are grazing.

These quiet places

They are called Motherland.

"Quiet place"

The silence in my native land is such that

...is heard:

On the wings of the breeze,

Like on the waves

swaying

Quiet clouds.

The poet uses a variety of poetic forms. A favorite genre is a lyrical miniature, which can become a plot poem, a landscape sketch, a small poetic instruction, a riddle poem or a joke, a lyrical monologue (dialogue), and the long-loved game form of “tell me a word” for kids.

In Nesterenko’s poetry one can trace a feeling of a large and small homeland, and, by and large, a feeling of spiritual kinship with the world and people.

« “Adults and children see the world differently,” Vladimir Nesterenko is convinced, “children perceive only what is clear to them, so I personally have always had little co-authors. First the neighbors' kids, then our own children, now our grandchildren. And all the stories are from our village life.”

In the morning, brother, it rings loudly

I was talking to a Burenka:

Show me your tongue

Lend me some milk!

Vova looked serious -

He held the bucket in his hand.

Brother heard:

“At the cow

Milk on the tongue.”

Young readers feel very well not only rhyme, but also rhythm, and perfectly perceive the language of images. Here's how, for example, the poet talks about spring:

Look: there are buds on the branches.

So they puffed out their cheeks.

I made my girlfriends laugh -

Snow runs away from the field:

He is in a hurry, but they are having fun -

My kidneys burst from laughter.

The sketch of the onset of the first autumn days is very lyrical. The author subtly noticed the sad mood of farewell to summer.

The field said goodbye to the plow,

The noise of birds has died down until March.

Wild ducks acute angle

Cuts the sky in half.

Maple with an orange beret

He waves after the birds for a long time.

-The summer song is sung, -

Grandfather tells me quietly.

"Maple"

Vladimir Nesterenko often refers to the image of a working man. He admires the heroic strength of combine operators and tractor drivers, and is proud of the Kuban workers who grow grain.

Summer! Hot weather -

There are bright rays everywhere.

The field is like a frying pan

What came out of the oven.

It's not easy for people under the sun -

But the combines are leading into the steppe -

After a hot harvest there will be

There is warm bread in every home.

"Harvest"

Deep respect for the feat of our great-grandfathers, the unhealed wound of the loss of loved ones in the Great Patriotic War can be heard in Vladimir Nesterenko’s poem “At the Obelisk”

For the book “Frontline Award” at the Moscow Book Festival in 2006, V. Nesterenko received a diploma for the patriotic education of the younger generation.

The poet’s work is permeated with love for his small homeland, reflects its history, today and is aimed at the future.

Here is how Kuban writer Nikolai Ivenshev responded to the work of V.D. Nesterenko:

“...A boy or a girl reads books and becomes kinder. We read it as if we had washed ourselves. An adult picks up a book, and for a moment he becomes a child. He will forget about his business and want to play catch-up or tic-tac-toe. An excellent remedy for a bad mood!” Indeed, Nesterenko’s poems do not and cannot have an upper age limit. They are pleasant and useful to read at ten, twenty, thirty, and fifty years old.”

Born on December 18, 1963 in the village of Novopokrovskaya. To the Krasnodar Music College named after. N.A. Rimsky-Korsakov Svetlana Makarova entered after graduating from the Novopokrovsk children's music school in the accordion class. In my third year at school, I wrote my first stories, “On the Ocean Shore” and “On the Trolleybus.” They were published in the September and November issues of the Kuban magazine for 1986. In the same year, Makarova became a participant in the regional seminar of young writers. Her stories received the approval of the seminar leaders, among whom were the leading writers of Kuban - Viktor Likhonosov, Viktor Loginov, Yuri Abdashev, Yuri Salnikov. Studying at the Faculty of Philology of Kuban State University coincided with the birth of her daughters. After graduating from the university, she worked as a teacher at the music school of the Interschool Aesthetic Center in Krasnodar. For more than ten years the name of the young prose writer did not appear on the pages of the press.

Makarova recalls with gratitude how, back in 1997, Vitaly Bakaldin, editor of the Literary Kuban newspaper, published her story “Lenka,” which was highly praised by St. Petersburg critic Oleg Shestinsky. Subsequently, “Laces for Goshka”, “Parachutist”, “Winter Evening” and other stories were published there. The first book, “Birds from a Flock of Turmans,” was published in 2001. It included stories and poems, many of which became songs. « Prose Svetlana Makarova multi-colored. A musician herself by first profession, she caught the different tones of Russian speech, weaving them into a unique national ornament. But her stories from folk life are not popular pictures, but rather an accurate reproduction of reality, with speculation and fantasy. At the same time, Svetlana Makarova is not a dictator; in her texts, she leaves room for readers to imagine and participate in the plot.”, - this is how Nikolai Ivenshev, a famous prose writer and laureate of All-Russian prizes, responded to the writer’s work.

Her stories, short stories, and essays were published in the magazines “Our Contemporary”, “Roman Magazine 21st Century”, “Bronze Horseman”, “Countrymen”, “Don”, “Kuban”, newspapers “Literary Russia”, “Russian Writer”, regional literary publications. She is a participant in the All-Russian Seminar of Young Writers, held in Peredelkino in 2004. Delegate to the 12th and 13th congresses of the Union of Writers of Russia; participant of the World Russian People's Councils, held annually in Moscow, participant of many plenums.

Makarova, in her own way, with an intonation that is unique to her, knows how to talk about the labyrinths of a big city and the life of the rural hinterland, tell a secret about what young mothers talk about in the story “A Cozy Courtyard, a Quiet Window,” and tenderly caress the old grandmother from the story "Winter evening". She makes us think why careerist Lyudmila, the heroine of the story “Aunt Peggy’s Flowers,” never became happy, and what exactly made Anna, an employee of the cultural sector, from the story “Laces for Goshka” spiritually reborn...

The creativity of Svetlana Nikolaevna Makarova, with all its diversity, is united by one feature - an optimistic perception of the world. She does not close her eyes to the dark sides of life, but firmly believes in the harmonious balance of all things on Earth. Just as minor and major have equal rights in music, so in the human soul joy and sadness always accompany each other. A sense of humor and effortless artistry are her natural traits, which could not help but be reflected in her work.

Svetlana Nikolaevna is a member of the Union of Writers of Russia, laureate of the Literary Prize named after. M. N. Alekseeva, holder of the Golden Order “For Service to Art”, secretary of the Writers' Union of Russia. Since May 2004, he has headed the regional writers' organization. She is the editor-in-chief of the newspaper "Kuban Writer", established by the regional writers' organization, and the almanac "Literary Krasnodar".

The writer's books were published in Moscow and Krasnodar.

Miroshnikova Lyubov Kimovna

Poet, member of the Russian Writers' Union,

member of the board of the Krasnodar branch of the Russian Writers' Union,

head of the socio-cultural center at St. Catherine's Cathedral,

laureate of the third International competition

children's and youth book named after A. N. Tolstoy

Born in 1960 in Krasnodar, in a family of workers. From early childhood, the girl loved to sing. From first to tenth grade she studied at secondary school No. 1. Her first teacher was Lydia Slepokurova, who noticed the makings of poetic talent in her student. Lyubov Kimovna wrote her first poem in first grade.

Once again, poetry came to Lyubov Kimovna in earnest unexpectedly: her first attempts at writing in the genre of poetic creativity were intended for her children. Miroshnikova's poems were noticed by the famous Kuban poet, member of the USSR Writers' Union Vadim Nepoba and invited her to work on the release of the first collection of poems for children.

In 1989, Miroshnikova took part in the Forum of Young Poets of Kuban for the first time and became its diploma winner. In 1990, her poems for children were noted at the regional seminar for aspiring writers, and in 1991 they were first published in the Kuban almanac. In the same year, she passed a creative competition and entered the Moscow Literary Institute. Gorky, where in a poetry seminar her mentor is the Lenin Komsomol Prize laureate, editor-in-chief of the magazine “Russians”, poet Vladimir Ivanovich Firsov. In 1992, the Krasnodar Book Publishing House published the first collection of poems for children, “Who Should Be a Sparrow?”

On April 27, 1996, as part of the work of the Secretariat of the Board of the Union of Writers of Russia, a seminar of young poets and prose writers of Kuban was held, which became significant for the poet Lyubov Miroshnikova. A recommendation to join the ranks of the Russian Writers' Union was given to her by the well-known writer Vladimir Krupin in Russia and abroad, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper "Literary Russia" writer Vladimir Bondarenko, as well as the Kuban poets V. Nepoba, S. Khokhlov, M. Tkachenko and the writer A. Martynovsky.

In 1998, the Sovetskaya Kuban publishing house published a collection of poems for children, “The Helper,” which was awarded an Honorary Diploma of the Second International Competition named after A. N. Tolstoy among the best books for children and youth. As a result of this competition, a three-volume book “50 Writers” was published in Moscow, where the poems of Lyubov Miroshnikova were published in the second volume.

In 2013, the Tradition publishing house published another wonderful book of her poems for children, “How the Caterpillar Went to the Theater,” which is in great demand among readers and takes a well-deserved place among the best works for children.

In the poems of the Kuban poetess Lyubov Miroshnikova there is much that is so close to a child’s heart. This is energy, a cheerful, clear rhythm, sonorous rhyme, a funny joke and all kinds of eccentricities.

Lyubov Kimovna's poems for children are small in size: sometimes three or four lines. But they have a deep meaning and each one has a secret.

A chicken poppy found in the grass -

Will not calm down:

- What a bungling cockerel

Lost your comb here?

Lyubov Kimovna, like a kind wizard, paints the world in the brightest colors, finding in her poetic arsenal unusual images and plots that develop children's imagination and creativity.

A star passed across the sky,

She dove straight into the water from above,

And came to life in that river

Magic gold fish.

In a fascinating way, Miroshnikova introduces young readers to the secrets of the natural world. Children will read a lot of new and interesting things on the pages of this funny book. For example, that skates live in the depths of the sea, and fish can talk. In many poems in the collection, the author asks interesting questions: how many drops of rain does a rain have? does it snow in summer? when does a dandelion put on a fur coat? Why is the angry bug buzzing?

The poems of the Kuban poetess will help readers become inquisitive, teach them to understand, appreciate and protect nature. The author encourages you to comprehend the secrets of the Earth, love animals, and be a friend to every blade of grass.

Autumn is a craftswoman

Never lazy

From radiant yarn

Knitting from early dawn

Leaf, berry, fungus -

The solar ball is spinning.

Talking about the colors in which the goose painted the animals' undershirts, the author poetically and figuratively introduces younger children to the colors of the rainbow. He compares the blooming forget-me-nots to a peacock's tail, sees the river in lace rings, the sea like velvet, and the sky in a chintz outfit.

Calico sky.

Velvet Sea.

rustling yellow

Silk sand.

A river rushes to the sea

In lace rings -

Leta silver

Thin belt.

Lyubov Kimovna writes about true friendship, teaches the ability to come to the rescue in difficult times, as did the small but brave sparrow who saved the sunny bunny.

He didn’t even see: he was guarded

Cloud. With the crooked talons of an eagle!

Misfortune could happen.

Then the sparrow took him under its wing -

And he hid in the woodshed with him,

Outwitted the angry cloud.

A sense of humor creates a cheerful, rosy mood. And it is present in many of Miroshnikova’s poems:

With a book about a mouse

The bear was skipping along,

In his left pocket he carried a warm crumpet.

The mouse quietly escaped from the book,

I ate the bear's crumpet to the tiniest bit.

The heroes of Miroshnikova’s works are funny dogs, little birds, hedgehogs and cats, with whom funny stories happen. Here is an elephant walking under an umbrella that only fits one ear, here is a crow looking for its missing car, and here is a would-be postman snail delivering mail.

Kuban composers wrote songs based on Lyubov Kimovna's poems: V. Ponomarev, V. Chernyavsky, I. Korchmarsky. Kuban composer Viktor Ponomarev wrote a cantata based on Miroshnikova’s children’s poem “The Whale and the Note of Salt.”

Reading Orthodox literature and studying at the Orthodox Institute had a huge influence on the poetess. Faith opens up a new vista in understanding life, disciplines feelings, elevating them.

Don't ask. How are you,

What's wrong with me, the funny one?

It has become!

Previously, I only lived on earth,

And now the earth is not enough for me.

In 2001, with the blessing of Metropolitan Isidore of Ekaterinodar and Kuban, a collection of spiritual poems by Lyubov Miroshnikova, “At the Gates of Heaven,” was published. Many poems from this collection became songs thanks to collaboration with the composer Deacon Mikhail (Okolot). They were included in a cycle of songs published on music discs: “The Good Tree”, “Lent by Eternity”. And in 2003, Deacon Mikhail (Okolot’s) song “The Cossack Woman’s Prayer” based on the verses of Lyubov Miroshnikova received the Grand Prix at the International Festival of Orthodox Art Song “Ark” in the city of Voronezh.

The work of Lyubov Kimovna Miroshnikova has long and deservedly enjoyed the love of young readers of regional libraries and the Krasnodar Regional Children's Library named after the Ignatov brothers. Lyubov Kimovna takes part in the implementation of many of her major projects and events to promote books and reading among readers of Kuban. This is also the annual Children's Book Week, which the regional children's library holds with the support of the Ministry of Culture of the Krasnodar Territory for pupils of Kuban orphanages. This includes the joint holding of the Decade of Orthodox Books, which was timed to coincide with Orthodox Book Day. The library held the event jointly with the Orthodox Social and Cultural Center of St. Catherine's Cathedral in Krasnodar, headed by L. K. Miroshnikova.

Lyubov Kimovna became one of the participants in the Regional Children's Library project of the art expedition “Spiritual Strongholds of Kuban”, dedicated to the 220th anniversary of the Church of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Taman.

You are my springs, springs

From the distant singing summer,

I know, there, by the Abinka River,

You are waiting for the poet.

Where did someone leave a melody?

For my village poems.

Sit with me and listen

How a cricket sings in the night,

How it caresses the soul.

In the book “The Feathered Choir,” the poet invites you to wake up in the morning and enjoy the rising sun, listen to the birds singing in the grove under the direction of Maestro Nightingale.

Dear friend, get up, wake up,

Bow to the field, to the forest, -

There, with love still

Prose writer, member of the Union of Writers of the Russian Federation, Candidate of Historical Sciences,
Professor of Kuban Technological University

Born on December 20, 1926 in the Kuban in the village of Umanskaya (now Leningradskaya). My teenage years passed through the war. At the age of sixteen, Boris became a soldier, participated in the liberation of Warsaw and the capture of Berlin, and was awarded eight military awards.

After demobilization, Boris Evgenievich entered the history department of the university in the city of Rostov-on-Don, graduating in a year and five months. He worked as a teacher in Krasnodar schools and defended his Ph.D. thesis.

Tumasov’s first books – “Stories and Fairy Tales” and “Teddy Bear” – were published in the late 1950s.

Boris Evgenievich is the author of many historical novels and stories “On the Southern Frontiers”, “Zalesskaya Rus'”, “The Unknown Land”, “Fierce Dawns”, “Hard Years”, “The Principality of Moscow May Be Great”, “Thy Will Be Done” and others. It was this genre that brought him real reader recognition.

B. Tumasov’s first historical story “On the Southern Frontiers,” published in 1962, tells about the Zaporozhye Cossacks, freedom-loving and courageous people who came to Kuban, the lands of the former Tmutarakan principality, in 1794.

The pages of the story “Zalesskaya Rus'”, published in 1966 by the Krasnodar book publishing house, take the reader back to the reign of Moscow Prince Ivan Kalita, during which the foundation of Moscow’s power was laid.

In 1967, Boris Evgenievich Tumasov was admitted to the Union of Writers of the USSR.

In 1968, the Krasnodar book publishing house published B. Tumasov’s story “Youth Beyond the Threshold,” dedicated to the memory of his fallen comrades. There were four of them, inseparable school friends, whom the war scattered on different fronts: Zheka, Zhenka, Ivan and Tolya.

With documentary accuracy, B. Tumasov writes about the hardships of soldier training in a reserve infantry regiment, about military exercises, about the solemn and unforgettable taking of the oath.

At the end of the 1970s, the writer again turned to the history of Ancient Rus'. New books by the writer are coming out one after another.

The novel “Fierce Dawns” takes readers to the 16th century, when there was a struggle to annex Pskov and Ryazan to Moscow.

Boris Tumasov showed true passion as a researcher by studying chronicles and archival documents, memoirs and monographs. This helped him maintain authenticity in his depiction of Rus''s past. He was able to present readers with extensive material about the life of the reigning houses of the Russian state from the 10th to the 20th centuries, giving the most complete artistic panorama of ancient Russian life. Readers are presented with history in novels - a unique, systematized, incomparable work. The entire history of the Russian state from the Rurikovichs to the Romanovs is conveyed by the writer in the smallest detail - from costume, weapons, utensils to deep penetration into the thoughts, feelings and actions of its historical characters, and most importantly - into the reasons that caused these actions.

In Moscow, the publishing houses "AST" and "Veche" in the "Rurikovich" series publish the writer's novels: "And the Rurikovich family will be", "Mstislav Vladimirovich", "The Principality of Moscow will be Great", "False Dmitry I", "False Dmitry II" and others .

ABDASHEV

Yuri Nikolaevich

Prose writer,

member of the Writers' Union of the Russian Federation,

laureate of the Regional Prize named after K. Rossinsky,

honorary citizen of the city of Krasnodar

“I know: the best place is mine. The best time is mine.” These words of Yuri Abdashev largely characterize his work and his human nature. His fate was difficult, tragic, but, as he believed, happy.

Yuri Nikolaevich Abdashev was born on November 27, 1923 in Harbin, Manchuria. Childhood memory retained a lot: he saw the living Ataman Semenov, saw the unforgettable Vertinsky in a Pierrot costume, performing on the stage “patch” of the Iveria restaurant, the vaults of the Iveron Church, covered with the names of all those who fell in the Russian-Japanese War. The writer recalled about his childhood: “I studied at a rather privileged commercial school and wore a cap with green piping... I will say one thing - the world was beautiful for me, a world of spiritual fulfillment... that seemed unshakable, and, probably, its total destruction looks especially tragic " It all ended in 1936, when the Chinese Eastern Railway (CER) was sold, and Russians began to return to Russia. And although everyone knew about the repressions, my father firmly said: “Stop wandering around foreign lands. Yurka must have a homeland.”

A year after returning to Russia, his father was arrested and shot, his mother was exiled to the Karaganda camps for ten years. Both would be rehabilitated in 1957. Yuri Abdashev himself, as a thirteen-year-old teenager, was sent to the Verkhoturye closed labor colony in the Northern Urals. The writer reflected this period of his life in the novel “The Sun Smells of Fire” (1999). In the fate of his hero, the teenage boy Sergei Abaturov, the fate of the author is recognized. The young hero of the novel goes through all the trials of life without losing faith in goodness and justice.

The future writer changed many professions: sawed wood, was a worker on a geological team in the desert of Kazakhstan, sailed on a tugboat as an oil worker. These vital universities gave him rich material for future works.

In 1940, having passed the secondary school exams as an external student, Yuri Abdashev entered the English department of the Faculty of Foreign Languages ​​at the Kalinin Pedagogical Institute. But the outbreak of war disrupted his plans. At the beginning of October 1941, he volunteered for the front and took part in the winter offensive near Moscow as a private in a ski battalion. After graduating from artillery school in 1942, he was assigned to the Caucasus. He fights in an anti-tank fighter regiment that liberated Kuban from the Nazi invaders.

During the war, Yuri Abdashev was wounded twice and was awarded two Orders of the Patriotic War, 1st degree, and combat medals.

After the war, Abdashev graduated from the Krasnodar Pedagogical Institute. For nine years he worked as an English teacher in the village of Bystry Istok in Altai, and then at the Krasnodar 58th Railway School. From 1958 to 1961 he was the executive secretary of the Kuban almanac.

The publications of his first books date back to this period, the early 60s: “The Golden Path” and “We Are Not Looking for Peace.” Stories and novellas by Yuri Abdashev are published in youth magazines “Yunost”, “Smena”, “Young Guard”. The formation of a young man’s personality, first love, native nature, relationships between different generations - all this is talentedly reflected in the stories and stories of Yu. N. Abdashev and always touches the soul and heart of the reader.

The action of many of the writer’s works takes place on the seashore; we encounter expressive, accurate descriptions of the nature of the Black Sea coast, the Azov region, and the Caucasus Mountains. And against this background, the author draws different characters of people, their destinies, aspirations. They are not alike, but they are all united by a thirst for beauty, a thirst for romance. These people know how to see beauty and have inner beauty themselves.

Writers who went through war, like no one else, know how to appreciate peace and fight for it. Yuri Abdashev managed to bring his own unique touch to this topic.

The story “Far from War” is interesting to read because you meet living, human characters. The work is dedicated to young soldiers, military school cadets. Before our eyes, boys turn into cadets, then into officers. Everyone learns to evaluate themselves and their actions by the standard of war. None of these guys know what fate has determined for them tomorrow at the front, although it has already decided: life for some, death for others.

The story “Triple Barrier” is a work about the Great Patriotic War. Events take place in the Caucasus mountains. Three soldiers were left as a barrier on a high mountain pass in the difficult year of 1942. The purpose of the barrier was not to allow enemy scouts and saboteurs to pass along a narrow shepherd path. An ordinary episode of the war, but for three soldiers it was a great test of fortitude. They died one after another, honestly fulfilling their duty.

In recent years, Yuri Nikolaevich Abdashev has been working on the book “Prayer for the Cup, or 60 Letters to a Grandson.” It is dedicated to Harbin, the city of his childhood. The author lifts the veil of silence over such a difficult topic as the life of emigrants in Harbin, a Russian city located on the territory of another country.

In 1998, a wonderful person, a gifted writer, was awarded the title “Honorary Citizen of the City of Krasnodar.”

Yu. N. Abdashev died in Krasnodar in January 1999. The light of his talent - literary and human - will not go out in the souls of his readers. In 2002, a memorial plaque was unveiled in Krasnodar on the house at 60 Kommunarov Street, where the writer lived and worked for many years.

KRASNOV

Nikolay Stepanovich

Prose writer, poet,

member of the Writers' Union of the Russian Federation,

laureate of the Krasnodar Territory Administration Prize

The writer's childhood and early youth were spent in the village of Bogorodskaya Repyevka and in his hometown of Ulyanovsk, where he was born on December 30, 1924.

His mother was a city dweller with a high school education, his father was a peasant, and the future writer’s childhood was divided between city and countryside. The first literary publication was poetry in the newspaper “Be Prepared!”, a little later - in “Pionerskaya Pravda”.

In 1943, after graduating from school, N. Krasnov worked at a defense plant as a toolmaker, and in the same year he became a soldier. He fought on the Leningrad Front and was seriously wounded during the storming of Vyborg. Military awards: Order of the Patriotic War, 1st degree, medal “For Courage” and others.

War for Nikolai Krasnov is a soldier’s thorny roads. The front, offensive battles, wounds, hospitals... A picture of the life of our people fighting against fascism appeared before his eyes. “I was a drop in that big sea”, he will write later. The national feat during the Great Patriotic War became the main theme in his work. The author admits in his interviews that no matter how many years have passed since then, front-line events are as fresh in his memory as if it were yesterday. Nikolai Stepovich talks about an amazing incident that influenced his fate: “After the battle, the commander of the machine gun company saw among the dead soldiers someone very similar to me. And my machine gunner friends confirmed that it was me. And I stood at the mass grave, where my name was on the list of the dead. I knew some of those buried here... And I cry, talking about them all, about that unknown boy mistakenly buried under my name. Like every soldier, someone's son, brother or loved one. In my imagination, I often hear his mother, his bride, crying, and my heart clench with unbearable pain.”

The impressions of the wartime became the writer’s main spiritual wealth. In 1953–1956 he studied in Moscow at the M. Gorky Literary Institute, in 1965–1967 – at the Higher Literary Courses.

N. Krasnov has about three dozen books published in Moscow, Krasnodar, and the cities of the Volga region. Nikolai Krasnov works successfully in both poetry and prose. Collections of his stories and short stories have been published: “Two at the Gran River”, “The Road to Divnoye”, “Morning Light”, “My Faithful Stork” and many others.

In one of his poems, Nikolai Krasnov recalls his old letters scattered throughout the world - “and to friends who did not come back from the war, and to a loved one who left for someone else...”

I won't mince a word.

I can only add,

And again

I won’t lie a single line...

These words can rightfully be attributed to the entire work of the poet and prose writer Krasnov. Each of his poems, each story is a kind of letter to the reader, artless and confidential. Nothing is made up here, everything comes from the heart, everything is about what has been experienced, about what has been suffered. Memory of the war, love for people, native places, for everything pure and beautiful. Reading his works, we feel a man of great soul, sincere and kind. Life, as it is, appears from every page.

“Poetic perception of life, of everything around us, is the greatest gift left to us from childhood,” wrote K. Paustovsky. As if echoing him, Krasnov opens the story “House by a Flowering Meadow” with the words: “ Childhood never goes away. The joy of life, the thirst for discovery, the rapture of beauty, music, poetry, friendship, love, happiness - all this is a continuation of childhood" How mysterious and wonderful the world appears to four-year-old Vovka, who first came to the village (“Morning Light”)! Plunging into the atmosphere of childhood, the reader himself temporarily becomes a child and with surprise and joy re-learns this world in which they live pecking rooster, plucking geese, furious a dog, and cows with calves, and a wonderful bird blackguz. Here discoveries are made every day, and every new meeting becomes a miracle. Nikolai Krasnov's stories for children are written with love and understanding of their age characteristics.

Living in Kuban and not writing about the Cossacks is probably impossible. “The Tale of the Cossack Horse” is a wonderful work about a horse and rider during the Great Patriotic War, where the war is shown through the eyes of a horse. Another story, “Horses Walk Over the River,” is about the modern resurgent Cossacks. It contains bitter memories of de-Cossackization, and pride for fellow soldiers who fought from Kuban to Prague, and hope and anxiety for the fate of the Cossack region.

In Krasnov’s prose, the name of the village “Divnoe” is the focus of all the brightest things. The worldly wisdom of the woman of this village, the old Cossack woman Lyavonovna - “ Love warms a person, hate does not warm“- is also characteristic of all the main characters of books; it is also the basis of the writer’s creative and moral search.

Nikolai Stepanovich Krasnov preaches the philosophy of goodness, brings people the light of high morality, his books are always needed, and especially for those who are so difficult to find the way to their Marvelous.

Pyotr Karpovich Ignatov

(1894–1984)

Prose writer,

member of the USSR Writers Union,

Deputy of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR

Pyotr Karpovich Ignatov was born on October 10, 1894 in the city of Shakhty, Rostov region, in the family of a miner. After primary school, I entered the school of marine mechanics to study as a ship mechanic. The premature death of his father, the family's breadwinner, forced him to quit his studies and go to work in a mechanical workshop. Later, the young man moved to Petrograd and got a job as a mechanic at the Ericsson plant. Here he became close to the underground Bolsheviks and in 1913 joined the Bolshevik Party.

During the days of the revolution and the Civil War, Pyotr Karpovich took an active part in the formation of the Red Guard detachment, fought bandits in the ranks of the workers' militia, fought with the White Guards, and delivered food to starving Petrograd.

In 1923, Pyotr Karpovich moved with his family to Kuban. Working in various areas of economic construction, he graduated from the Moscow Institute of Forestry Industry without interruption from production.

In June 1941, the Great Patriotic War began. In August 1942, the Nazis were approaching Krasnodar, and the threat of occupation loomed over the Kuban. 86 partisan detachments were formed in our region. Pyotr Karpovich Ignatov received the task of creating a partisan detachment of miners to fight the Nazi invaders. The detachment was named “Dad”, Pyotr Karpovich was appointed its commander.

Together with him, his sons became partisans: an engineer at the Glavmargarin plant, Evgeniy, and a ninth-grade student, Geniy, as well as his wife, Elena Ivanovna. P.K. Ignatov later spoke in detail about the actions of the “Batya” detachment in his books: “The Life of a Common Man”, “Notes of a Partisan”, “Our Sons”, “Hero Brothers”, “Underground of Krasnodar”.

In one of the military operations, both sons of Pyotr Karpovich died heroically.

In the summer of 1944, Ignatov’s first book, “Hero Brothers,” appeared, dedicated to the memory of his fallen sons. And at the end of the same year, the first part of his trilogy “Notes of a Partisan” - “In the foothills of the Caucasus” - was published. This is the story of an eyewitness and participant in the events about the creation of the partisan detachment “Batya”, about the harsh, dangerous life of partisans in the mountains.

In 1948, the second and third books of the trilogy were published.

The second book of the trilogy “Underground of Krasnodar” tells about the organization of an underground group in an occupied city, about the courage, heroism and resourcefulness of Krasnodar underground fighters in the fight against the enemy.

“The Blue Line” is the third book, also based on documentary material.

After the war, Pyotr Karpovich retired for health reasons and devoted himself entirely to literary creativity. From his pen came the following stories: “Our Sons”, “The Life of a Common Man”, “Blue Soldiers”, “Children of a Working Family” and others. In total, Ignatov wrote 17 books. His works have been translated into 16 foreign languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Hungarian, Chinese, Polish and others. He received many letters, including from abroad, from his readers.

The books of Pyotr Karpovich Ignatov are not just a family chronicle. These are, first of all, works in which the writer reflected the patriotic impulse of the Soviet people, who rose from young to old to defend their country, who saved the Motherland and the peoples of Europe from fascism.

In 1949, P.K. Ignatov became a member of the USSR Writers' Union, was involved in many social activities, was elected to the Supreme Soviet of the USSR and the Regional Council of People's Deputies, and communicated a lot with young people. He was awarded two Orders of Lenin, the Order of the October Revolution and the Badge of Honor, and many medals.

BelyakovIvan Vasilievich

member of the USSR Writers Union

Belyakov was born on December 8, 1915 in the village of Mokry Maidan, Gorky Region, then moved with his family to the city of Gorky. Studying at a factory training school and a railway technical school, serving in the railway troops in the Far East - the beginning of the life of the future poet. Maybe it was his native Volga region, the unique beauty of nature, where he spent his childhood, that pushed young Belyakov to literary creativity.

In 1938 he entered the M. Gorky Literary Institute in Moscow. And when the Great Patriotic War began, Ivan Vasilyevich, without hesitation, left the 3rd year of the institute to go to the front. These were years of testing for the whole country and for the young poet, who went from an ordinary soldier to an officer, first at the headquarters of the 49th Rifle Corps, then, after being wounded, during restoration work in the railway troops. Wherever the war took I. Belyakov - he was a company technician, a senior battalion technician, and a correspondent for the newspaper "Military Railway Worker" - his love of poetry and the desire to create did not leave him.

In 1947, after demobilization, Ivan Vasilyevich came to Kuban. Worked for the newspapers “Sovetskaya Kuban” and “Komsomolets Kubani”.

One after another, his books, collections of songs, poems, and fairy tales are published. He is published in the newspapers “Pionerskaya Pravda”, “Literary Gazette”, magazines “Znamya”, “Friendly Guys”, “Young Naturalist”, “Koster”, “Murzilka”, “Crocodile”, “Ogonyok”, “Don”.

In 1957, Belyakov was admitted to the Union of Writers of the USSR.

All the poet's works have a children's theme. A combat officer who went through a cruel, bloody war, began to write kind, bright books for children about “blue-eyed boys”, about “little Larisa”, who has “freckled stars and freckles on her face.” He became a children's poet. He wanted boys and girls to know about their dead peers who never had time to mature and grow up. This is what prompted the poet to write poems about the Kuban Cossack Petya Chikildin from the detachment of the famous Kochubey, and about Kolya Pobirashko, a young intelligence officer from the village of Shabelsky. Belyakov managed to show in the little heroes an adult understanding of courage and bravery in the name of the Motherland. The theme of patriotism became a distinctive feature of the poet’s work. With the help of expressive artistic means, the author emphasized the idea that a person who gave his life to the people, the Motherland, is immortal.

In 1970, the Krasnodar book publishing house published a book of poems by I. Belyakov “Eternal Youth”. In it, he talked about the pioneers and Komsomol members who died in battles for their Motherland on the fronts of the Civil and Great Patriotic Wars.

Many of I. Belyakov’s poems glorify the beauty of nature. Her eternal voice is heard in them: the sound of water, wind, the hubbub of birds, the whisper of a ripening field, the whole rainbow of flowers of the steppe expanse is seen. The cycles “I Help Mom”, “Flying Light”, “Sun Splashes” reveal to the children the wonderful world of plants and animals. The author encourages little readers not to pass by the beauties of nature, to comprehend its secrets.

The fairy tales “Once Upon a Time in Spring” and “The Hare Built a House,” included in the collection “Merry Round Dance,” teach children to love animals.

The poet's constant companion is humor. A sense of humor makes poetry more interesting, helps reveal the content, and creates an optimistic mood. So, the woodpecker in the poem of the same name “He’s dressed for work—comfortably, simply, smartly. He is wearing a crimson beret and a colorful overall. He sharpened his instrument with special care.”. A humorous description of the woodpecker's appearance does not interfere with the disclosure of its main qualities - hard work aimed at benefiting others.

The poems “Don’t be timid, sparrow”, “Jackdaw” and others are dedicated to nurturing kindness, cordiality, and a caring attitude towards feathered friends in children.

Ivan Vasilyevich wrote more than 40 books. They were published in Krasnodar, Stavropol, in the central publishing houses “Young Guard”, “Children’s Literature”, “Soviet Russia”, “Malysh”.

Ivan Vasilyevich died in December 1989.

In it, on the basis of archival documents and memories of old-timers, the pages of the life of the pre-revolutionary city were restored. The material contained in the book was unknown to a wide circle of readers, and this immediately made the “Etudes” a bibliographic rarity.

In 1986, V.P.’s book appeared on bookstore shelves. Bardadym “Guardians of the Kuban Land” - twenty essays about wonderful people who dedicated their lives to their native land. She resurrected many names that were undeservedly forgotten and erased from the history of Kuban.

In 1992, the book “Sketches about Ekaterinodar” was published. The book consists of short stories that merge into a single narrative and gradually introduce the reader to the history of the city where we were born, grew up, live and often ask questions: “What was here before, who built it, why is it called that?”

In 1995, the book “Architects of Ekaterinodar” was published. It includes sixteen essays about the destinies of amazing people who created the unique architectural appearance of the capital of our Cossack region.

Vitaly Borisovich Bakaldin

Vitaly Borisovich was born in 1927 in Krasnodar into the family of a civil engineer. Because of my father's profession, I had to move often. Vitaly Borisovich lived in North Ossetia and Krondstadt, on the Black Sea coast and the Far East.

On June 30, 1944, the young poet published the first story in his life, “Vovka,” for which he received first prize at a city competition. He was given a book and coupons for sugar and bread... This is such a reward in wartime. Then the 15-year-old teenager had the opportunity to see with his own eyes the victims of the fascist occupation and the liberation of Krasnodar. The theme of war will constantly return in his poems.

Bakaldin’s first poems appeared on the pages of newspapers and magazines during his years of study at the Krasnodar Pedagogical Institute, and in 1952 the first poetry collection “To My Friends” was published.

During Vitaly Borisovich’s work as a teacher of Russian language and literature at Krasnodar railway school No. 58, new poems and poems appeared: “The Touchy Princess,” “My City,” “Herbs and Ants.” The school firmly entered the poet’s heart.

In 1956, at the age of 29, Vitaly Borisovich was accepted into the Union of Writers of the USSR, in which he turned out to be the only poet-teacher. The place of the teacher in society, his importance as a spiritual educator is a new topic in literature, discovered by Bakaldin.

For more than 10 years he headed the writers' organization of Kuban, and for more than 4 years he was the editor-in-chief of the Kuban almanac. Vitaly Bakaldin is the author of many poetry collections published in Moscow and Krasnodar.

He writes for the little ones (“Alyoshka’s adventures”, “Russian port of Novorossiysk”, “In our yard”, “Smeshinki”), for teenagers “The Touchable Princess”) on any topic simply and truthfully.

Kindness and cordiality are the main thing in Bakaldin’s poems. But over the years, sunny, major tones and colors become more restrained. Vitaly Borisovich showed not only the strength of his talent, but also real civic courage in his poems “Reanimation”, “Bitter Confession”, “August 1991”, “That’s the Point”...

Bakaldin’s play “Mountain Daisy” with music by E. Alabin was staged at the Krasnodar Operetta Theater, and songs based on his poems became popular.

Barabbas

Ivan Fedorovich

Ivan Fedorovich Varavva was born on February 5, 1925 in the city of Novobataysk, Rostov region. During the period of general collectivization, the family was dispossessed, its head was exiled to the Solovetsky Islands, and the parents of the future poet, along with their two children, returned on foot to their native Kuban.

In 1942, after graduating from high school in the village of Starominskaya, Ivan Fedorovich volunteered for the front.

In the battle for the Caucasus, Varabbas, with the rank of private infantry rifleman and company mortar gunner, in the spring of 1943 took part in breaking through the enemy “Blue Line” in the Novorossiysk direction. In May of the same year, during the assault on the Hill of Heroes, near the village of Krymskaya, he was seriously wounded and shell-shocked. Returning from the hospital, as part of the 290th Novorossiysk Motorized Rifle Regiment, he liberated the city of Novorossiysk from the Nazi hordes.

As a twenty-year-old sergeant in the victorious May of 1945, Ivan Varabbas left his autograph on the wall of the Reichstag, in defeated enemy Berlin. Awarded the Order of the Patriotic War of the 1st and 2nd degree, the Order of the Red Star and the Badge of Honor, the medals “For Courage”, “For the Defense of the Caucasus”, “For the Liberation of Warsaw”, “For the Capture of Berlin".

He wrote his first poems for the division newspaper in the trenches.

The first notable publication – four poems – took place in 1950, in the almanac of young writers of Ukraine “Happy Youth”. Poetic works from his student years were published in 1951 in the magazine “New World,” edited by A. Tvardovsky. In the same year, at the second All-Union Meeting of Young Writers in Moscow, in the report of the famous poet Alexei Surkov, Ivan Varabbas was named among the best young poets in the country.

For many years, Ivan Fedorovich was engaged in collecting and studying Cossack folklore. The poet was fond of oral folk art, knew the songs of the Kuban Cossacks well, and could sing and play the bandura himself.

In 1966 he published “Songs of the Kuban Cossacks”; several dozen works of this genre were included in the anthology “Lyrical Songs. Classical library of Sovremennik. The poet managed to preserve the color, structure, and the very spirit of the Cossack song. This is the secret of the high skill of Ivan Fedorovich Varabbas.

Ivan Fedorovich Varabbas never broke ties with his homeland. He was a faithful son of the Kuban land. The sense of beauty in the poet’s lyrics came from a close sense of the expanses of his native land and a family connection with the folk life of Kuban. All his poems are imbued with love for the earth.

Awarded the medal “Hero of Labor of Kuban”, Honorary Ataman of the Pashkovsky Kuren, Honorary Academician of the Krasnodar State University of Culture and Arts.

Ivan Fedorovich Varabbas, an outstanding Russian poet, a true patriot of Kuban, died in April 2005.

I feel fermentation in myself, fascinated, as in my youth, by my native history, but so far it’s all musical, not verbal. I was worried about everything. And in Taman I was worried. She is beautiful when you think about Mstislav and Lermontov on her land...”

The city is the main character of the novel. The past comes alive in memories. Time has no boundaries, and Memory, connecting generations, is continuous.

Leonid Mikhailovich Pasenyuk

Leonid Pasenyuk is romantic, upbeat, looking for extraordinary events and situations. His heroes...people of strong characters. There is something of Jack London in Paseniuk's books, and undoubtedly this attracts the reader to him.

A. Safronov.

From a report at the forum of writers of the South of Russia. 1962

Not every one of us is destined to become a space explorer or explorer of the mysteries of Antarctica. Penetrate into the bowels of the Earth and the water columns of the ocean. Just a lot of driving, flying and walking. Everyone needs to know their planet, its past, present and future. And therefore, we cannot do without not only those who discover new things and unravel the unsolved, but also without those who know how to talk about it intelligently, entertainingly and knowledgeably.

Such writers were and remain M. Prishvin, K. Paustovsky, I. Sokolov-Mikitov. Our fellow countryman, writer Leonid Pasenyuk, can also be counted among these loud and well-known names in our literature.

“My whole life is a walk along the shore...” Remembering these words belonging to Henry Thoreau, Leonid Pasenyuk claims that he could repeat them about himself. However, he knows the happiness of difficult roads. Both in life and in literature. Constant search, hard physical work, steady pursuit of a goal, sometimes associated with severe hardships and risks - not everyone would choose such a fate for themselves.

He was born on December 10, 1926 in the village of Velikaya Tsvilya in the Zhitomir region, not far from the now well-known Chernobyl, where he completed seven years of high school before the war. But now he is one of the most educated writers, having deeply studied history and literature, geology, biology and other areas of human knowledge.

How many talents combined in this amazing person! Based on his books, the Commanders and Kamchatka are studied, his historical articles are included in academic publications, scientists in the USA and Canada quote Pasenyuk not only in lectures, but also in their works. He is the owner of a collection of rare minerals and stones, maps, photographs, books that can be the envy of specialists.

Leonid Pasenyuk became acquainted with life's hardships early.

At the age of fifteen, when the war began, he became the son of the regiment. At Stalingrad he attacked the enemy together with adult soldiers. He was shell-shocked. Then he walked the roads of war from Stalingrad to Sevastopol, and in the post-war years he built facilities for the Kapustin Yar-Baikonur missile and testing range complex.

Having been demobilized after eight years of military service, he worked as a turner at the Stalingrad Tractor Plant, fished in the Black and Azov Seas, dug diversion channels in the oil fields in Baku, and built the Krasnodar Thermal Power Plant as a digger and concrete worker.

Leonid Pasenyuk dates the beginning of his creative biography to 1951, when his first story was published in the Stalingrad youth newspaper. And in 1954, the first book “In Our Sea” was published in Krasnodar. Dedicated to the fishermen of the Black Sea region, it was a successful attempt at writing. Thanks to her, Leonid Pasenyuk was admitted to the Union of Writers of the USSR. He becomes a professional writer. Starting from this little book, fishermen, geologists, hunters, volcanologists became the writer’s favorite heroes.

Fate was generous in its own way to Leonid Pasenyuk. She did not skimp, gifting him with the courage of a pioneer, the tirelessness of a sailor, the keen observation of an artist and the talent of a storyteller. Otherwise, how would his amazing books have been born? Their names speak for themselves: “Mother-of-pearl shell”, “Eye of the typhoon”, “Island on a thin stem” and others.

The author's inquisitive mind is interested in many things, but the life of the coastal regions of the North, the Far East and Kamchatka is his main area of ​​interest. In his works, he describes in detail and scrupulously the nature of these places, the features of their climate, flora and fauna. He worries deeply and thinks intensely about environmental and moral issues.

Fate gave him both the excitement of a traveler and the happiness of discovery. It was he who discovered in the vicinity of the Kamchatka Tolbachik volcano a previously unknown natural phenomenon here - traces of trees incinerated by lava, but which managed to leave their imprints in it. How many people can boast of having a name immortalized on geographical maps? Meanwhile, the name of Leonid Pasenyuk, a meticulous researcher, is named after one of the capes on Bering Island!

A gentle man. Like the hero of his books, who learned almost from childhood that the most priceless gift is life. And that the luxury of communication can be given not only by people, but also by the harsh ocean, and a rare mineral, and a hill, and a deer. From an early age, the desire to see what was around the corner, beyond that cape, took root. The desire for discovery and search became the main university of Leonid Mikhailovich.

The travel writer penned popular science and journalistic articles, historical investigations, essays, literary and artistic works, in which he is truthful and does not try to imitate anyone. It was reality that was always his inspirational muse. Pasenyuk’s works are not light entertaining reading, but most often an unvarnished eyewitness account. Possessing a keen sense of authorial responsibility to the reader, Leonid Pasenyuk fears falsehood and approximation above all else. Therefore, the speech of his heroes is weighty and convincing.

It’s impossible not to remember the desperate Zina from the story Stone from the Weddell Sea,” the rude director of the crab factory, Gazora from “The Island on a Thin Leg,” and the charming American Gloria. The descriptions of travel in the writer’s books resemble a dialogue with an invisible reader-interlocutor, and in historical descriptions poetic lines are often heard. This is how figuratively he speaks about sailors and Robinsons: “Here the sea is full of secrets and internal movement invisible to the eye, it is invisibly outlined by the courses of ships, like an intricate children’s picture in which you need to find a certain figure among the confusion of lines.”

Leonid Pasenyuk's creative interests have become more and more diverse over the years. Without changing his devotion to the Far East, he is interested in the history of “Russian America” and succeeded in his search. His search for the little-known Russian traveler Gerasim Izmailov, who was one of the first to explore Alaska, is noteworthy. The search and discovery of the writer Leonid Pasenyuk interested the Russian Academy of Sciences. At the annual conference in 1994, his report by seafarer Gerasim Izmailov attracted the attention of scientists from many countries and was published in the American Yearbook. The report about him in the same yearbook says: “The reports devoted to the biographies of the most prominent Russian Pacific sailors of the 18th century aroused particular interest. Expert Commander writer L.M. Pasenyuk gave a vivid report on the activities of navigator Gerasim Izmailov.

Izmailov was not only the first to draw up a map of Northern Alaska and the Aleutians, but also introduced it to the famous participant in the round-the-world expedition, James Cook. But Izmailov’s meeting with D. Cook took place 220 years ago. Even then, Russia’s priority in the discovery and development of Alaska was established. And yet the theme of war lived in him. This topic is sacred to him, and Leonid Mikhailovich collected materials bit by bit to tell not only about the battle for Stalingrad, in which he became a participant at the age of 15, but also about those with whom his front-line fate brought him together, about unfairly forgotten heroes. "Kotluban"- these are the writer’s first memories of the war, his military experience. The entire division was destroyed at Kotluban, but it completed its task - it pulled the fascist troops away from the city. And “Kotluban” is the author’s attitude towards war. On the Commanders he met the son of Colonel Dmitry Ilyich Chugunkov. He was mentioned six times in the orders of the commander-in-chief during the war, but never became a Hero of the Soviet Union. The resentment for an unrecognized, undeserved hero did not leave Leonid Pasenyuk for many years. The author was very touched by the fate of Colonel Chugunkov and he began to collect materials. And a documentary story was born about one of the true heroes of that terrible war, the brigade commander of the Third Tank Army under the command of Rybalko.

L. Pasenyuk’s books are valuable for their educational value. In addition to the main plot, he will tell you, young readers, a lot of interesting information about the ocean, fish, and sea animals. You will learn about what rocks are made of rocks, what plants and herbs are under your feet, what kind of bird flew overhead. And it will make it so exciting that you will certainly want to see the harsh picturesque shores, breathe the salty Pacific air, feel the mighty wild beauty of the protected region, peer into the pebbles in search of shimmering agate, see with your own eyes a volcanic eruption, feel the approach of a swooping snowy owl.

Those of you who like to look at the globe will read his books with interest and envy, because in them L. Pasenyuk wrote about how he and a detachment of prospectors went in search of diamonds, climbed the Caucasian peaks, descended into the crater of a volcano, watched the cutting whales in Simushir, sailed along the Kuril Islands in order to study volcanic activity on uninhabited islands. And L. Pasenyuk spoke about many other things in his numerous books.
