for the First time in many years the Altai mountains flocked to the traditional Shukshin Days various celebrities, was not the usual pilgrimage to the Station (in this case a small group of passing tourists still climbed the famous mountain, to imprint themselves on the background of the monument to Vasily Makarovich and to marvel at the scenery). The audience saw the films another film festival, some of which are only here and can be viewed on a wide screen. Well, maybe it’s for the best? And not one person had heard that Shukshin days need to pause and restart. Too much in the past decade, tinsel and officialdom, which Vasily Makarovich not stand. And among the guests of honor began to come across people with whom the owner would not sit down at the same table.
In terms of restarting, cultural events showed a good example of Christmas literature festival. It is worth mentioning that the famous poet of the generation of “sixties” was born in the Altai regional center of Kosikha. And though he lived there briefly about his native land never forgot. And such a memorial Museum, which opened in Kosiha, Russia is no longer anywhere. In 2018, the State Museum of history of literature, art and culture of Altai (GMELINA) gave additional premises on the second floor of the Museum building, which gave the opportunity to increase the exhibition area companies three times. Here was cozy and not inherent in many museums feeling zabronzovevshy time.
– the works of Robert Ivanovich still on the table – his poems are love, sing songs, and Museum of Christmas should be alive, – said the Director of GMELINA Igor Korotkov. We work still not really known. The only scientist who is seriously engaged in the work of the poet, Nina Yakovlevna Sipkina, candidate of philological Sciences of Khakass state University. She wrote a wonderful book “I am the son faith in tomorrow…”
What unites such different people – Christmas and Shukshin?
Igor Korotkov: were Both enthusiastic believers. Robert I. sincerely believed in the correctness of what makes the Communist party. Believed in such concepts as “conscience”, “friendship”, “ideals”. The Nativity was very wide circle of friends – veterans, astronauts, scientists, doctors, athletes. He wanted to know everything from primary sources, could not write about where he was. If I decided to write about the explorers then went on a drifting ice station and lived there for a year! After he was born the collection “Drifting prospect”. If you have decided to brand capital of the world, then punched in a business trip in the United States. And there was a verse that tells not only about “the plagues of capitalism”, but about the musicians, photographers, ordinary citizens of Manhattan turned out quite about��aktivny collection of life “over the hill”. Christmas knew what he wrote.
And Shukshin was the same: “dip the pen in the truth.” But believed in other things, but I’ve seen how much evil has happened and is happening in the village. Hence, Stepan Razin, Lyubavina, stories of modern rural life, about the drama of those who throws up roots and moved to the city. Shukshin believed in community, pochvennicheskaya the ideals of the people, the nature of the Russian people.
Their faith often knocks life, forced to question, why become bitter and painful to both of them. And this was reflected in the works of both. Shukshin had a lot of serious thought about human nature, that no one has become the village that it cannot be confused with the city. And at Christmas the lack of thinking about how people spoil the current reality. Both wanted to get to the root of the problems that he saw around him. And both were artists, responsible for his words.
Them with each other was interesting?
Igor Korotkov: of Course. They had something to talk about and even poecilotis. Not only because both were born in the Altai – they saw each other in proportion to the individual. There is a famous photo taken in the hospital: Christmas and Shukshin smoke furtively, despite the categorical prohibition. Around them, especially after death, I grew a lot of myths that we, Museum professionals, constantly have to refute. I take this opportunity to say for instance that both were fairly indifferent to home life, to money. Shukshin friends, spouses Grigoriev, has repeatedly stressed that “Bob was quite far from these things”: it would be, where to sleep, and the important thing is to think about what I write or shoot. Christmas luxury also never tried. He often, as we would say today, “have isolated themselves in a room” to write a poem. I was at his dacha in Peredelkino. Room of the poet on the second floor all filled with bookshelves, a Desk by the window, everywhere ashtrays, padded door for sound proofing. Austere environment.
Researchers of creativity of Shukshin dreaming the miracle: relatives of Vasiliy Makarovich giving them all his correspondence and archival records. The dream of the staff of the memorial Museum’s Christmas?
Igor Korotkov: unfortunately, the whole large archive of Robert Ivanovich burned in a fire in Peredelkino. But after that relatives realized how everything is fragile and not permanent. Much of what survived was given to us. In Kosiha now the largest Museum Fund Christmas. There is a small memorial area in the library Sherbakul (Omsk region). In Moscow, only recently a memorial plaque was opened. But that’s okay – where was born there and handy. The Altai Christmas need more.
Shukshin �� Splice is easy to imagine even in our time. And Robert Ivanovich with family and summer in the current Month?
Svetlana Butyrskaya, head of the Memorial Museum by Robert Rozhdestvensky: I Think the first thing Robert Ivanovich would have sought the place where stood the house in which he was born. Definitely would go for our famous “jar of love” – a beautiful spot, where he loved to walk his parents. There are now literary festivals Christmas. The poet quickly found a common language with the local men – he loved the fellowship. In 1972, when the Altai Republic held a decade of Soviet literature, Robert I. became part of the delegation of the writers of the fifteen Soviet republics. The literary landing has been to many cities and villages of our region, and a Christmas feel, then himself like a fish in water.
One of the most significant events of the Literary festival by Robert Rozhdestvensky became the creative laboratory of videopoetry. Anyone could make a video based on the poems of Robert Ivanovich. Participants will include Yuri Shevtsov, a doctor at the Barnaul hospital No. 5, where they treat patients with coronavirus infection. A few scenes were done so well that they are not ashamed to show on Federal TV channels. The initiator of the creative lab was the Youth center of the cinematographers of the Altai Republic with participation of GMELINA and with the support of the regional Ministry of culture.
Svetlana Butyrskaya, head of the Memorial Museum by Robert Rozhdestvensky, an affiliate of MILIKA:
– of Course, both of our famous countryman approached more only in 1972, when landed in a Moscow hospital with aggravated gastric ulcer. Forty days they spent on treatment. Memory Shukshin Robert Ivanovich dedicated the poem with a bitter issue in the finals:
“Pillars of verbal dust
and fimily smoke.
And where were you before
when he was alive?”
