Immediately after graduation, the future poet worked as a miner, more than once descended into the face. Then followed the service in the army, which Nefedov Eugene was in Transbaikalia. And only after coming home he entered the Moscow State University at the Faculty of Journalism. After his graduation began to work by profession. He worked for 40 years in journalism. Beginning his way with the district newspaper, he gradually reached the central press.

"Komsomolskaya Pravda" in the life of Yevgeny Nefedov

For a long time in the 80 years, Yevgeny Nefedov was the correspondent of Komsomolskaya Pravda in Ukraine. His biography begins in this country. A little later the journalist was transferred to Moscow. He became the correspondent of the Komsomolka in Czechoslovakia. However, already in the late 1980s he was recalled because he did not praise the Prague revolution. Shortly after this incident, the journalist resigned from the newspaper, left without work. Of course, Nefedov could easily settle into any edition that glorified the current political system, praising the government's activities. But he could not afford it. Therefore, I was on the very "bottom".

The creative style of the poet

Alexander Prokhanov - a man who marked the whole future creative life of Nefedov. His call predetermined the career of the poet. He began to work in such newspapers as "Tomorrow" and "Day." And it was he who was one of their creators. Thus, the poet firmly and for life linked his fate with Russia. Nefedov Evgeny Andreevich became one of the secretaries in the Board of the Writers' Union of Russia. In it he directed the section of humor and satire. In addition, began to produce a new newspaper, which he called "Russian laughter."

He worked as an author and poet in the newspaper "Soviet Russia". Here he also helped journalists as an editor, proofreader and translator. Eugene Nefedov published a collection of his poems, which he called "The Moment of Absolute Happiness". The woman's face that decorates his cover is a photograph of his beloved and only wife Lyudmila. With it, he shared all the misfortunes and joys, calling every time from every corner of the country.

It was about his love that he composed lyrical poems. Take for the soul, for example, here are these lines:

Of course, as a coryphaeus,

I held on as best I could, then

But the young tender fairy

Captivated me forever.

"The moment of absolute happiness" is by no means the only collection of the poet. There were others: "Govoriliada", "With whom you will lead", "Brotherhood", "Light ahead" and "Eternal circle".

"Eugene about some"

When Russian television was filled with Odessa's humor, Eugene Nefedov began to write poetry as opposed to this. After all, he is loyal to the Fatherland and sworn both civil and military. This he embodied in his poetic journalism. Each issue of the newspaper was decorated with a column called "Eugene about some". It was here that he fought the destruction of patriotism, tried to protect children, pensioners. All this was filled with his satirical lines.

In addition to a unique column, Eugene Nefedov read his poems at the performances that were very successful. At the same time, he knew how to perfectly hold on to the stage, combining Gogol's satire, the heat of Saltykov-Shchedrin's passions. For his life and the succession of various meetings, Evgeni Nefedov saw, learned, and realized much. Despite his Orthodox soul, he always took a pen in his hands and with the help of poems began to fight with the enemies. He did not strike an eyebrow, but in the eye, screaming from the pages of newspapers about injustice. The poet even published a collection of his poems-parodies "Nestlings of the nest of Boris. Eugene about some. "

"Russian Laughter" is a festival of irony

In Kstovo, which is located in the Nizhny Novgorod region, an annual humorous festival of ironic poetry is held, which was called "Russian laughter". It was first organized in 2007. It was then, at the opening, Nefedov became one of the main guests and heroes. His creativity was highly appreciated by the leaders and guests of the festival. And local journalists nicknamed him "a smiling poet". Yes, and he himself spoke highly of the event in various interviews. For Russia, such a festival is a unique event. After all, laughter gives recharging to all the people. And how else to live, when around is often very gloomy. Laughter is Gogol, Saltykov-Shchedrin, Chekhov. These authors were ideals for Nefedov. He tried to take the best from each of them in his works.

The subsequent festivals "Russian Laughter" were held with Yevgeny Andreevich. He was an obligatory guest speaker, spoke a lot, communicated with people. But the 5th festival was held without him. However, all perfectly understood that Nefedov is present here, albeit invisibly. The fact is that the festival was given his name. In 2011, he went under a huge portrait of the poet. He was hanging right above the stage. And the event was opened by the performance of children who sang the hymn of "Russian laughter". This song was written by Evgeny Nefedov.

The last days of life

Recently Evgeni Nefedov did not go anywhere. He was very sick, like many in old age. I went to Soligorsk, in Belarus, to treat my asthma. He was supposed to appear there 3 times a year. Only then the doctors were ready to guarantee some result. However, Nefedov is not a man of this kind. There was no peace and rest in his life-only his favorite work.

The ironic festival, to which he was invited this time, is a special matter. He took the train to Nizhny Novgorod, where he was held. On it, the poet was a special guest. He did not miss a single festival. The last thing he did was write a poem that he gladly read from the stage, sang a couple of songs. The audience burst into applause.

Nefedov's poetry Eugene will never become obsolete. They talk about the truth of life. No wonder many artists still create dramatizations of these unique creations. The following poems are favorite for many: "About the pipe" (about how the simple people are fooling), "Bracing lies, and there are no new tanks" (about the realities of the Russian army and politics), "Flowers of Evil" (about the unchanging situation all over the world ) And many, many others.

Live poems of the poet every year come to life on the day of his memory - October 14. On the site of Nefedov's burial place, colleagues and all his friends gather on this day. They remember him, read poetry, tell stories. The initiators of this memorable day were the fellow countrymen of the poet, the Donbass players, as well as the editorial offices of newspapers he had been loyal to all these years: Pravda, Tomorrow and Literature Day.

Nefedov died on the 64th year of his life. However, his poems did not die. They are relevant to this day, they live in the souls and minds of all Russians. While the newspapers "Day" and "Tomorrow" are published, the poems of this witty poet will also "breathe".
