"The Tale of the Eye", which fell into the toilet, and other children's books that frightened Kuznetsova. The poet is easy to offend: the child ombudsman did not like the verse about the eye in the toilet.
Anna Kuznetsova, Commissioner for Children's Rights under the President of the Russian Federation, speaking at a conference in the Russian State Children's Library, criticized contemporary children's literature, which "is scary to show even to adults." Separately, she noted the poem by Igor Irteniev about the eye that fell into the toilet. The author of the work himself, however, was outraged by such criticism: he had never been a children's writer.
A press conference with the participation of Kuznetsova took place on Thursday morning. “Unfortunately, parents sometimes come across this in books. Honestly, I can't even voice some of them, because I'm ashamed to say that they sometimes write in children's books. quote from RIA Novosti).
Separately, she dwelled on "a fairy tale about an eye that, forgive me, fell into the toilet." "There is something to laugh at, but to think too," said Kuznetsova, adding that she hopes not to create "black PR" for the literature she mentioned. The original black list of the children's ombudsman included 16 works.
Meanwhile, the author of the poem about the eye, Igor Irteniev, in an interview with the radio station "Moscow Says" noted that he was not going to argue with the ombudsman for the rights of the child, but at the same time stressed that he did not write this work as a child's. The writer also complained about "idiocy", which has already become a trend in power structures.
"How to react to this? This is pure idiocy. Idiocy, which is a trend in all state structures. Now everything goes under the sign of idiocy. I did not write this poem as a child, but it is in my book about the pirate Uncle Petya. I am." I think that a normal child not with a square head is quite capable of appreciating and laughing, "said Irteniev.
The full text of the poem is as follows:
I dropped it in the toilet
Somehow here the other day
Your favorite brown eye.
Right. Penultimate.
He looked with a farewell gaze,
Dove's eye
Straight into my soul with reproach,
Carried away by the stream.
And since then I have been dreaming everything
At night in silence
How is he there with eyelashes
Moves at the bottom.
Let us remind you that Pavel Astakhov, the predecessor of Kuznetsova as the ombudsman for children's rights, was noted for fighting an encyclopedia about sex for children of 8-11 years old. In the manual, the authors were not ashamed to call things by their proper names and show pictures of "what adults are doing." "Children do not need encyclopedias about sex, they need smart and useful books that teach kindness and honesty," Astakhov was indignant.
And in 2012, a loud scandal erupted after activists of the public fund "Ural Parents' Committee" during a raid on bookstores in Yekaterinburg found a book about sex "Devchonkologiya" in the children's literature section, which, as stated in its description, "is written in an understandable adolescents language ". At the same time, the store claimed that such works were in great demand.
At a conference in the Russian State Children's Library, the Commissioner for Children's Rights under the President of the Russian Federation Anna Kuznetsova presented a selection of modern children's literature, which, according to her, "is scary to show even to adults."
The list of the children's ombudsman includes 16 works of modern children's literature. Among them, in particular, the tale of Svetlana Lavrova "Where the cock horse gallops" and the poem of the poet Igor Irteniev "The Tale of the Eye", which "fell into the toilet".
"Unfortunately, parents sometimes come across this in their books ...", - the children's ombudsman was intrigued. Kuznetsova admitted that she could not even voice something, "because it is embarrassing to say that they sometimes write in children's books."
"The most decent of all -" Where the rooster horse gallops "... A tale about an eye that, forgive me, fell into the toilet.
At the same time, she expressed the hope that this list "will not look like black PR," RIA Novosti reports.
After it became known about this list, the author of "Tale of the Eye" Igor Irteniev called it "pure idiocy",
In a comment to the radio station "Moscow speaking", he explained that this comic verse, written back in 1991, is not addressed specifically to children.
"Although in my book about the pirate Uncle Petya it (this poem) is," - said the poet and added that "a normal child not with a square head is quite capable of appreciating and laughing." However, judge for yourself:
"The Tale of the Eye"

Poet Igor Irteniev, in turn, reacted unflatteringly to the criticism of the children's ombudsman Anna Kuznetsova, who today included his comic poem about an eye in the toilet in the list of indecent children's works. According to the radio station "Moscow speaking", Irteniev said that he was not ready to argue with the children's ombudsman, but believes that his poem should make a normal child laugh.
“How to react to this? This is pure idiocy. Idiocy, which is a trend in all government structures. Now everything is going under the sign of idiocy. I did not write this poem as a child's, but in my book about the pirate Uncle Petya it is. I believe that a normal child with a non-square head is quite capable of appreciating and laughing at him, ”said the poet.

The Children's Ombudsman has compiled a list of the most indecent children's books. On Thursday, during her speech at a conference in the Russian State Children's Library, Anna Kuznetsova presented a list of 16 books, where, according to her, there is something that is embarrassing to voice.
"Kommersant FM" quotes from some of the indecent works, in the opinion of the Ombudsman.
Igor Irteniev, "The Tale of the Eye That Fell into the Toilet"
I dropped it in the toilet
Somehow here the other day
Your favorite brown eye.
Right. Penultimate.
He looked with a farewell gaze,
Dove's eye
Straight into my soul with reproach,
Carried away by the stream.
And since then I have been dreaming everything
At night in silence
How is he there with eyelashes
Moves at the bottom.
Svetlana Lavrova, an excerpt from the book "Rooster Horse"
And now Dasha toiled over the computer, coming up with a beginning. She immediately decided to work with local material so that the main character was Pera the hero, the famous character of Komi fairy tales and legends. But tell about it in a modern style. True, Pera resolutely did not want to modernize. “It will be a militant,” Dasha realized. - Redistribution of territories and steep showdowns. Leshy - the head of the local mafia, drives drugs from fly agarics. The fight against the drug mafia is fashionable. "
Sergei Mikhalkov, an excerpt from the poem "Flu"
Antoshka the cat jumped from the window
To the bed in one jump.
Do you want me to you, Antoshka,
Will I cover my nose with powder?
Anna Kuznetsova expressed the hope that her list of indecent children's works "will not look like black PR."
Books for children should be written in the correct literary language, not forgetting about moral standards, says Irina Kotunova, editor-in-chief of the Children's Literature publishing house: “Some ethical moments do not suit these works, they are not regulated by any laws. Many frameworks are now blurred, and unsettled children's minds can be very much harmed by such books. Then, there is still a literary language, and now in many works they are trying to convey colloquial speech, youth slang - I'm not talking about obscene expressions. Maybe for an adult audience - yes, but why does a child need all this? And so it rushes from everywhere. Still, literature should adhere to a certain level and pull the child up a notch ”.
Poet Igor Irteniev has already commented on the statement of the children's ombudsman about his comic poem. He stressed that a normal child will appreciate him - it will make him laugh. Irteniev also noted that the words of Anna Kuznetsova are "idiocy, which is a trend in all state structures."
As for Lavrova's prose, there are several weaknesses, but nothing indecent, literary critic Konstantin Milchin is sure: “A significant, if not most, part of children's literature after 2000 is an attempt to write his new“ Harry Potter ”. It is very interesting when they try to write "Harry Potter" on some unusual, non-standard folklore motif. Svetlana Lavrova tried to do it on the folklore of the Komi people. On the one hand, this is very cool, but the end of the book is completely disastrous, the title, in my opinion, is also not the best. In terms of execution, the book is not very successful, but I would like to see more such works. It is a pity that our officials somehow sluggishly scolded this book, it is not clear on what basis this opinion was made. "
The norms of the law "On the protection of children from information harmful to their health and development" apply in Russia to literary works. All subtle points related to vocabulary and ethics are at the discretion of the publisher.
