Interesting facts about the writer

V. Voskoboinikov about choosing a profession:
"Usually people first learn to read, and out loud, and then - to write. But the opposite happened to me. Having lived a blockade in Leningrad, my mother and I came to the Urals, where the father was walking in the hospital, injured on the front. Father soon went to the front again, and my mother became a teacher of the Russian language. I was four years old, I didn't have any toys, but something I had to take a child, who remains one for the whole day. And Mom gave me a newspaper, a pencil and a piece of wallpaper - they were a lot of neighbors who handed us the room. She returned from the school and saw the articles of the newspaper rewritten on the pure side of Wallpaper. So I learned to write and decided that I would definitely, as soon as we grow up, I will become a writer. I then thought that Writers write newspapers - how many newspapers, so many writers. And I didn't even guess about the existence of books - we didn't have them. "

But in order to write about him a book, I studied the history and culture of Islam, visited the cities in which Avicenna lived 1000 years ago, even went with a caravan on the sands of Kara Kum ...
One of my hobbies was the prince Dovmont Pskovsky, Wise and brave Litvin, a stranger, who was ruled by Pskov thirty-three and defended Russian lands, to the joy of local residents ... If you take closest - then Prime Minister Witte. All my favorite characters are distinguished by the desire for creating through overcoming many difficulties. "

6. What artists-illustrators do you like to work?

I would dream to work together with a wonderful artist Nikolai Ustinov or, for example, with a brilliant Viktor Bivovarov. But alas! More often with artists I am not lucky.

7. Does your books exist on the basis of your books:

art films;

cartoons;

recording;

theatrical statements;

musical works?

At the very beginning of the seventies in several of my stories, plays were put on theaters and on the radio. On the radio in those years they were repeated frequently. I was not lucky with the movie. Twice, together with the director wrote scenarios, then the creative group was going to, the actors were selected, but suddenly a new bosses came out, and everything broke away. I realized that it was more interesting to write prose, and no longer succumbed to the temptation. In the early 1990s, about 20 of my radio tracks were delivered to Russia in the early 1990s. I wanted to engage in enlightenment of compatriots, and I came up with such cycles: "Reformers of Russia", "Entrepreneurs of Russia", "History in the judicial mantle" and "Creator Catastroph". The plays told about the great genus of Stroganov, about Alexander the second, about the engineer of Putilovo, about the Nobel family, about Bailisa, about Stalin, and so on. Then they were passed on Sundays in the middle of the day, they repeated very often, and many of them listened. They even got some kind of premium. These plays from time to time are scrolled on the radio and now.

Questions to choose from

1. Who did you want to become in childhood?

From 1947 to 1954, I dreamed of flying on the planet Mars to explore it. Then in Russian there was no word astronaut, and I believed that astronomers would be injured by this work. Then I became interested in chemistry and became a chemist. The fact that I will become a writer, I knew from five years old. But before twenty nothing for this did.

2. Why did you go to school?

School does not necessarily love, but you need to go to it.

3. Who do you want to tell you from the elders: parents, teachers, neighbors? ..

About parents and senior comrades. Mom saved me in blockade, his father remained absolute moral authority all his life, and the senior comrades are very young and very talented (Igor Efimov, Vladimir Maramzin, Valery Popov, Sergey Dovlatov, Alexander Kushner, Andrei Bitov) - accepted me to his "Tusovka" . I was immediately impossible and grateful to them all my life. And I'm happy because many young and very talented writers of St. Petersburg are my friends.

4. Your favorite book:

at 7 years;

"Robinson Crusoe".

at the age of 15;

Dickens novels - everything that was then translated into Russian.

now.

The list changes depending on the state of the soul.

5. The most decisive act in your life.

There are several of them: 1 - Act of Birth, 2 - Parting with favorite chemistry for the sake of favorite literature, 3 - marriage number two, 4 - voluntary standing together with like-minded people in August 1991 all night under dull, cold, small rain in order to protect democratically elected lens From the armed assault of gacchipists. I do not repent in any of these actions.

6. Damage character that prevents you most of all.

The desire for compromise - and helps, and interferes. I could never and now I can not hit a person in the face. For me it is simply impossible. Therefore, since childhood I preached pacifism.

7. Which of the writers are alive and past - would you like to collect for a friendly conversation under the green lamp?

I would be glad to invite them, but I don't know, it would be interesting to them with me. And yet: the author of the first in the history of mankind, the story of the "Wandering of Sinauchet" (he would now have been 4 thousand years old), Homer, Herodotus, Plutarch, as well as Luke, who wrote an "Acts of Apostles" and one of the Gospels, and Ibn Hisham, who had time to gather Memories of the prophets of the Prophet Muhammad and create his lives. I am afraid to seem arrogant, but, most likely, it would be useful for us to exchange some thoughts. It is a pity that all these people left us too far.

8. What should be the weather to write a good book?

9. Who is the first reading your new book manuscript?

At the time of happy youth first read friends. For example, I was the most first reader of Viktor's story "My Good Dad" and some poems Oleg Grigorieva. And now sometimes the first read the one who first bought the book, for it happens that in the publishing house neither the editor, nor the artist, nor the corrector read the text at all. But the book and comes out with anecdotal typos, in which only the author is to blame.

10. Why do you like to be a writer?

I would never have been able to explain why I loved any person. Just loved. And that's it. Also with writing. After reading, this is the most favorite lesson. Although sometimes I get tired of it terrible. But it is the main thing for life.

And in conclusion - several lines of without any questions or "A little letter to the reader about anything"

Once I discovered with horror that I don't know why, why I live on earth among people. I was then twelve years old, this terrible discovery painted me in the tram, and I had long rushed through the streets, not wanting to go home and hoping that I still cool something about the goal of my life. Finally, I was tired, I did not see to the apartment and, without answering the questions of the mother, I bought to sleep. At night I woke up from my own moan. In the following years I read quite a lot of books. They told about anything: about the story of inventions, about the life of an ancient man, about mammoths and insects, but not about me. I guessed that people know some kind of secret about what I live, but I could not ask them - I didn't have such a person who would have entrusted my question.
The discovery came in a dream - exactly as Mendeleev. He also suffered for a long time because of his table. I saw myself standing on the top of the hill. For the left hand, my parents, parents - grandparents and grandfathers were kept, and they are the following my ancestors, which I didn't even really know. And all this endless chain of people went into a foggy distance - in the past of mankind. For my right hand, I kept my children (I really didn't have any children then, these are three of them), and they are their children, and those next. This chain was also hiding in a foggy gave - the future of humanity. And I - connected them all.
Something I understood about my own destination and goals of the life of every person: any of us connects all past people with people in future and transfers everything good to them what was done before. Every person on Earth has its own chain. And all together these woven chains are called humanity.
Waking up, I already knew what was born not in vain. And I also realized that anyone would be: even though writers, though plumbers or shepherds, the main thing is our thing to-put everything good and good in the future. We are all different people, each of us is the only person in the entire history of the universe. Never of such a person, as any of us, was not on earth and will not; We share distant distances and many years, and yet we are strong, we are alive when we are all - together when we are woven into one humanity.
Since then, how many years has passed, and I learned that wise philosophers came up with their answers to the question that tormented me. Perhaps your answer is in general every person. But if you have no such answer yet, take at least mine - it helps me great.
Thank you.
