Around the name of the writer Eduard Uspensky, who died two years ago, raised a real storm. Blame – the statement of his daughter – Tatiana – that her famous father was home a tyrant and the rapist (most serious charges), in connection with which a new literary award for children’s literature does not bear his name. Poet Yuri Entin believes that much whose name will adorn any prize is the name of his friend and the author of Cheburashka, Crocodile Gena and other inhabitants of the village of Buttermilk.
– I have known Edward for many years. It was an amazing man, says “MK” Yuri. Yeah all his life he helped the children. Remember, both translated Finnish author and invited him to Finland. It was in the late 70’s. He went, received a fee, and the money bought a gorgeous instrument. Came back and told me: “you Know, I want to give her to the orphanage”. And presented. He was such a man.
But it happens that people in the outside world but within the family, with friends – another, you see, accused of tyranny.
– No tyranny was not just he had a family that soplases shower was not.
– still a very serious accusation put forward against father daughter Tatyana Eduardovna assumption. Why?
– Can scores driving. And she has one account – he did not put in a will. I think so. His first wife, the mother of Tatiana, named Rimma, I knew her daughter and I remember only little. He was separated from his family for a long time, and nobody spoke for some reason before, and when they began to divide the inheritance, then remembered and recalled him. He didn’t say. She, the first wife, the tyranny of it. He collected samovars, old typewriters, and she was unhappy. Did not work, was a housewife. Well, they just didn’t work out. And he was unusual to the people.
– You can introduce my friend and colleague, raising his hand to his wife or child?
– I can’t Even imagine such a thing. He and his second wife adopted two girls, they had problems with development, and he was with them constantly. At his dacha in Peredelkino, where I came to him, he gave them a puppet theatre, has developed its own methodology for their development just through this home theater table.
– Not many like you, Yuri, speak well about Eduard Nikolayevich, alas. Multipliers – claim, third wife, TV presenter and journalist Fillina with which he led arepopular at the time the program “In our Harbor came ships”, with the words again his own daughter, too, has its claims to Eduard Nikolaevich.
– He was irascible, bursting out like a match, but I think it was the fair fighter for the truth. Just like every great man (and in literature for children and, most importantly, he is a great family) have ��it was their idea of justice. Yes, he pleaded with the “Soyuzmultfilm”, I even attended one such court. But he was largely right. For me it was the most fair person, and that the Studio took over greed.
As for the Owl… Yes, it did for him. A new house – entirely her merit, there was always perfect order. In the new house he had why two of the study, where he could work. He trusted her: she was doing the program, which he was. She began to dress him, he began to walk in the fancy suits, not like before. It seems they lived well, but I’ve seen even more scandals, and out of nowhere. Somehow, they came to us and he broke out: “Look at Entin, here warmth and love. And you’re all about the money.” With her son as he was speaking, I thought the command tone, this happens to fathers. Then he had cancer surgery in Germany. I called back, she was sitting by his bed. But then why she left, went to live with another person. And he suffered. And could not what to talk about once that she had betrayed him.
And last wife (she is second, he came back to her and girls) are perfectly understood. I want to say again that I do not believe the statements of his daughter, it’s slander at Edik.
