Writer Viktor Nekrasov. Biography and creativity

Viktor Platonovich Nekrasov is a figure that is amazing and significant in Russian literature. His first work immediately received immense popularity and approval of Stalin. However, three decades later, the writer was in exile and no longer returned to his homeland.

Childhood and youth

Victor Nekrasov, whose biography is given in the article, was born in 1911 in Kiev. But his childhood was spent in Switzerland and France, where she first studied in the medical school, and then worked as Zinaida Nikolaevna, the writer's mother. Platon Fedoseevich, father, was an employee of the bank.

Soon after returning to their homeland (1915), a revolutionary coup took place. He brought a misfortune to the Nekrasovs' family: in the 17th his father died, and a year later the Petlyuraites were screwed up to the death of his elder brother Victor. For a while her mother was afraid to go out, but everything turned out okay. Do not touch the family in the thirties, when many of their acquaintances were arrested. Perhaps this is due to the fact that Zinaida Nikolayevna treated the NKVD officers who lived in the same house with them.

Education and work in the theater

Viktor Platonovich Nekrasov was very fond of Kiev, especially its architecture. It was not just a hobby. In the 30th year he entered the construction institute and studied at the famous in the country and abroad I. Karakis. However, he did not receive a diploma in the specialty of architect Nekrasov. The Institute's management did not like his project, developed in the 36th year on the basis of the ideas of the constructivist Le Corbusier.

No less interested in the youth theater and literature - even in school he and his comrades published the magazine Zuav. Victor Nekrasov, whose biography will later be associated with this hobby, graduated from the theater studio in the 37th. Without becoming an architect, he joined the troupe in Krivoy Rog. Then, right up to the beginning of the war, he moved from one theater to another. Actor, artist, director, assistant architect - this is what he did for four years.

War and the First Work

But Nekrasov himself came to the recruiting station and was assigned to the engineering troops. During the war years, he commanded a battalion. The soldiers who served with him recalled that he always behaved with them on an equal footing and did not hide from bullets. In the 43-m he received the medal "For Courage". Three times was wounded, the last time he was interrupted by his right hand. So the future writer Nekrasov was in the hospital. On the advice of doctors began to develop a hand. The result - records in the form of a diary about what they experienced at the front. They compiled the novel "In the trenches of Stalingrad", which had brought him fame.

The resulting injury was incompatible with further service, and Nekrasov was demobilized in the rank of captain.

Literary and social activities

The story "In the trenches of Stalingrad" (1946) was far from being the first work about the war. However, recent events have been shown so plausibly that they shocked many readers. Its basis was all that Viktor Nekrasov himself experienced and experienced. The biography of the protagonist was familiar to thousands of yesterday's warriors: a retreat from the western borders to the Volga, brutal fighting for Mamayev Kurgan, the mass death of comrades, disappointment and the hope that the victims are not in vain ... In 47 Nekrasov, a year ago, no one Not known, received the Stalin Prize. Although the day before the award Fadeev crossed out the work from the list. It is not difficult to imagine, thanks to whom it appeared in it again in the morning. I must say that Nekrasov gave most of the award for the purchase of wheelchairs for front-line soldiers.

Subsequently, Viktor Nekrasov, whose biography is the proof, never violated the principles of justice and humanity. In the 60th he opposed the erection of a stadium near the place of Babi Yar, for which he was declared a Zionist. The story was continued six years later in connection with a speech at a rally dedicated to the anniversary of the execution of Jews. In 62, after a trip to Europe, he shared his impressions in the essays. This was the beginning of persecution. His works ("In his native city", "Senka", etc.) were waiting for critics to attack, and they did not reach the mass reader.

Forced emigration

In the 74th the writer's apartment was searched. Even before that, the writer spoke in support of those who were persecuted for dissent. The result is an exception from the party, since his opinion did not coincide with the generally accepted one. Now the interrogations followed, wiretapping the phone. They deprived all awards, including combat ones. Excluded from the Writers' Union. Soon Victor Nekrasov, whose work was finally banned, appealed to the government with a request to give permission to travel to Switzerland. Since September, the emigration of the writer began. First he stayed with relatives, then moved to France, where he died in 1987. Here he was the editor-in-chief of the magazine "Continent", he worked on radio.

"Little sad story" - the last work of Viktor Nekrasov - filled with longing for his homeland, which in the late 70's deprived him of his citizenship for "activities incompatible with a high rank ...". A small obituary in connection with the death of the writer was published only in the Moscow News.
