Biography: Rubtsov Nikolai Mikhailovich - the hope of Russian poetry

Nikolai Mikhailovich Rubtsov, whose brief biography will be given in this article, was a Russian poet-lyricist who created in the 60-70s of the twentieth century. He was called the hope of Russian poetry.

Childhood and youth

A couple of days after the onset of the new year 1936, the future lyric poet Nikolai Rubtsov was born in the cold Northern Territory (now Arkhangelsk Region). In the village of Emetske began his biography. Rubtsov Nikolai Mikhailovich was the fifth child in the family, the youngest. His father was the chief of the forestry enterprise, his mother a housewife.

When Nikolay was five years old, Mikhail Andrianovich (father) was given a high post in Vologda, where the family moved. Until 1942, the life of the future poet was relatively happy, but then adversity sprang literally out of nowhere. My father received a summons - he was called to the front. After this news, the mother of the family suddenly died. There was no one to leave the children with. Only my elder sister Nicholas was taken to her aunt, the others were taken to the orphanage.

Nikolai was in the city of Kraskov, and then - in Totma, away from his brothers. The only consolation for the boy was his father's early return from the war. But this did not happen. He escaped the enemy bullet, but forgot about his children. With the marriage began his new biography. Rubtsov Nikolai Mikhailovich found out about this betrayal in the orphanage.

The following years

In 1950, after the end of the seven classes, he went to Riga to enter the nautical school. Such was his dream. But because of his age (14 years), he was not accepted. Returning to Totma, he began to study in a forest technical school.

After completing his studies, in 1952, he settled down to work for the minesweeper "Arkhangelsk" and blew the stoker there for about a year. Then he entered the Kirov Mining College, but was disappointed in his studies and went on a journey. The yearning for his native lands overtook him in Tashkent. It was there that Rubtsov Nikolai Mikhailovich, whose biography was not easy to form, decided to meet with his father. It was held in 1955, but did not bring the poet happiness - only disappointment.

From 1956 to 1959 he served in the army in the navy. After demobilization, he moved to Leningrad, where he worked for a while at the plant. There he graduated from a full secondary school. In 1962 he entered the Literary Institute in Moscow, who graduated with grief in half in 1969. Now he was listed in the staff of the newspaper "Vologda Komsomolets" and lived in his own odnushke. And this is after all the wanderings to dormitories and even train stations.

Despite the bright band in life, in general, the poet had a very tragic biography. Rubtsov Nikolai Mikhailovich was always unhappy: in love, and in creativity (really poetry was appreciated only after the death of the lyric poetry). There were a lot of people around him, but no real friends appeared. A meeting with his last civil wife and did become fatal for the poet.

Personal life

His first girl Rubtsov Nikolai Mikhailovich, whose biography is not rich in love relations, met in the village of Priyutino, which is near Leningrad. There he came to his elder brother Albert. Taisia was extremely beautiful and liked the poet immensely. However, I did not reciprocate with him. He took care of her, they often walked together, but no more. After Rubtsov joined the army, Taya married another.

In 1962, at one of the poetic parties, Nikolai met a girl named Henrietta. She became his official wife. A year later the couple had a daughter, Lena. This marriage, too, did not become happy for the poet. Alcohol led him to the monastery. The mother-in-law did not welcome her son-in-law and drank and constantly scolded her for parasitism when he came home to Nikolskoye. Soon the family collapsed completely.

In 1969, the poet meets Lyudmila Derbina, with whom she begins a new life. Their joint way of life was especially nervous: they swore and then reconciled themselves. But they were constantly drawn to each other. Together they lived until the very death of the poet, the fateful death, which was the cause of Lyudmila.

Creation

His first poems, Nicholas wrote in the orphanage. When I served in the army, I worked in a local newspaper and was published there. But those experiments were far from the style of the real Rubtsov.

His first collection, published in 1962, was called "Waves and Rocks." It was samizdat. But the second book has already become official. "Lyrics" was published in 1965.

Then there were the "Star of the Fields", "Soul Keeps", "Pines Noise" in 1967, 1969 and 1970 respectively. After Rubtsov's death, four more poetry books were published.

His work is filled with love for his native land and land, it is original and sensual, like Rubtsov Nikolai Mikhailovich himself.

Biography and work of the poet served as a guideline in the creation of many poetry festivals (Rubtsov Readings, All-Russian Poetry Competition).

Death

The poet was always a mystic to some extent. He believed in all the signs, was very superstitious. Therefore, his poem "I will die in the Epiphany frosts ..." is considered a visionary.

On the night of 18 to 19 January in the apartment Rubtsova happened a brawl, a family quarrel. He was jealous of his cousin to his colleague from the newspaper. Nicholas was pretty drunk and rushed with accusations against Lyudmila Derbin. The woman eventually could not stand it and decided to rebuff the unlucky cohabitant. This decision turned out to be fatal. She, trying to push him away from her, pinched the carotid artery of the poet with two fingers. After a few seconds, he passed away. This happened in 1971.

So the life of talented lyrics was cut short, such is his tragic biography. Rubtsov Nikolai Mikhailovich is buried in Vologda.
