Biography of Bunin Bykov

In fact, I wrote a more voluminous text about the Bykovo wordobludia, but the whole text did not enter the first publication. This was done in order not to overload the article so that my answer is DM. Bykov sounded dynamically so as not to distract the reader from the main arguments and refutations of details that are unconditionally important, but in the exposure of the Bykovo lies not playing a decisive role.

Now I want to publish what is not included in the short version of the article. Well, consider those theses of Dm. Bykov, who look more or less believable. Bykov writes: “This desire to produce a gloomy and fatal finale, of course, lies in the attitude of a person who initially sees life as a catastrophe who thinks it as a catastrophe ...” Before the revolution, by its almost fifty years, being number one in Russian literature, Ivan Bunin did not differ in any excessive disaster.

In his works there was a deep analysis of people from different layers of society, there was a magnificent knowledge of their native land, there was an artistic, visual force, few people accessible among contemporaries, there was realism. And the death of the heroes also met in his works, in moderation and, if necessary. But it cannot be said that the bulls are absolutely wrong, in this case.

That he invented everything. What DM is talking about. Bykov is really present to some extent in the work of Ivan Alekseevich Bunin, in his emigrant work. And especially in works created in the first years of separation from his beloved homeland. For example, the “Cornet Elagin case” is a very gloomy thing, one could agree that the hero’s suicide is unmotivated in Mitina Love. But, before the revolution, Ivan Bunin had a completely different attitude.

I repeat, the works of I. Bunin, created by him before exile, sometimes overwhelmed with positive emotions. Emigration certainly changed Ivan Bunin. But to blame him for excessive disaster of emigrant, and especially in early emigrant creativity, it is like Boris Vasiliev, Vasil Bykov to blame that they paid a lot of attention to the theme of the Great Patriotic War and hung up on this topic.

The writer talks about what worries him, about what is important to him, about what does not give rest, does not let go. And, of course, being in a depressed state, it is impossible to write bright things. The revolution and civil war were an unhealed wound for a huge number of our compatriots. And, one way or another, a sense of catastrophicity was deposited in the minds of both Ivan Bunin and other writers and poets of emigrants and reflected in their work.

The emigrant poet Ivan Savin wrote in the mid -twenties: who stole my youth, did not even leave traces at the door? I told God about the theft, I told people about her. This unprecedented youth in the footsteps catching up with a stranger. There was a tragedy, terrible, irreparable for millions of people. And the lecturer Dm. Bykov is trying to draw conclusions and generalizations based on his everyday experience, or looking for ready-made formulas in world literary luggage: “For some reason, we find no normal, classically developing, at least some kind of reliable, at least some psychologically convincing plot.” He was apparently not allowed to understand that terrible catastrophe of white emigration from the cozy well -fed Moscow, and he hardly understands Boris Vasiliev’s trench truth and Vasil Bykov.

Or what is expected from them a classic plot and a minimum of victims? You never dreamed of our troubles, our thoughts did not hide you. You would probably choke, we, nothing - licked licked. This poet of the late twentieth century wrote, Alexander Bashlachev. He did not write about the civil war and not about the Great Patriotic War. This poem conducts a dialogue of unsettled with well -fed, smug and disabilities.

Developing the topic, I want to touch the attitude of young Bunin a bit. With Dmitry Bykov, I will not argue that the youth of Ivan Bunin was not cloudless. But with the conclusion about the excess disaster reigning in the minds of Ivan Alekseevich, I categorically disagree with these theses about the apocalyptic expectations of the latter. Bykov, examining the outer canvas draws conclusions and generalizations very distant from the truth.

Simply, by manipulating and juggling with quotes and facts, he tries to fit everything to the result he needs. This is found everywhere in the opus of D. What really happened? Ivan Alekseevich Bunin very well remembered the times of his childhood when his family lived in abundance and well -being. And just in those years when his formation took place as a person, in the teenage years and during his growing up, the Bunin family implements.

Young Ivan Bunin visually felt a change in the attitude of even peasants of the nearest villages. Once in the church in the village of Christmas, before his family, he parted on the days of large Orthodox holidays, and now he, a sixteen-year-old guy, bailing at Stanovaya station, pretending that he does not recognize, delay and sends the night to the cold Chulan.

For what? For the transition of the rails in the wrong place!This is a single egregious case, but in the changed conditions the life of ruined landowners turned into a chain of various unpleasant episodes like this. Even the realization that today there will be nothing to eat, and most likely tomorrow and the day after tomorrow it will be the same, for Ivan Bunin, first of all, the question was not physiological, but the issue of humiliation.

The same thing with a fraternal jacket and shoes, not in size large, which Ivan Alekseevich had to wear when he grew out of a gymnasium form. Ivan Bunin later recalled that all his thoughts were only about the fact that each counterclaim was considering his clothes. And after all, the gap with his beloved occurred primarily due to the fact that the parents of the girl, Varvara Pashchenko were categorically against the unequal marriage of his daughter and the poor young man.

It should also be borne in mind that the family of Ivan Alekseevich kept the memory of their glorious ancestors who came to serve from the Lithuanian lands to the Moscow sovereigns under Ivan III. Imagine what was the discrepancy between the glorious past and the depressing state of affairs in the present? If you remember the wonderful film “Scarecrow” and the culmination of the film with the burning of a stuffed, then I think that it is permissible to compare the sensations of the young poet and the feeling of that girl who visited the “Squire”.

On such a scaffold, he spent not a clock, not minutes, not days, but years. But these were the years of his youth, when the surrounding world is perceived especially sensitively. Vera Nikolaevna Muromtseva-Bunina in the book “The Life of Bunin” wrote: “I realized why he was so afraid of poverty, poverty all his life. I realized why in his early stories the heroes are old people.

What is the knowledge of old people in years and what love and tenderness for them. ” Vera Nikolaevna knew well what she wrote about.

Ivan Alekseevich survived a lot of unpleasant during his poor youth, but this led not at all to what the lecturer Bykov says. Ivan Bunin possessing a special artistic perception, apparently thanks to education and innate talent, in the times of his joyless youth, he learned to vigilantly see any pain, injustice, human grief. Subsequently, all this together allowed him to become a great poet and writer.

What Dm. Bykov accuses I. Bunin of the absence of reliability, does not give in to any criticism. From the first publications, for decades and leading writers, including A. Chekhov, A. Gorky, A. Zhemchuzhnikov Kozma Prutkov, N. Mikhailovsky, V. Korolenko, and numerous little -known critics noted in the works of Bunin precisely the deep knowledge of life, the reliability of the described events, the empathy of the heroes, the realism and humanism of the author.

In the early years, critical notes often had a condescending tone. That's right, I. Bunin had no authority yet. But the assessments of a huge number of critics came down to the fact that the young novice writer Ivan Bunin is a realist of realists, who loves people, his homeland, a simple people, an author who has a good heart. Interestingly, Bykov Bunin read it?

I have the impression that only “dark alleys” in the puberty period. If I got through other works, I did not understand anything in them. Apparently, therefore, according to Bykov, Bunin before the revolution “chewed Mochala”. If you believe the thesis dm. Bykov “On the attitude of a person who sees life as a catastrophe”, then this attitude was to be reflected in the everyday life of Ivan Bunin at every step.

Studying the book of S. Morozov, The Chronicle of the Life and Creativity of I. Bunin, Volume I, I did not find traces of constant depression, brokenness, sensation of disaster in the everyday everyday life of Ivan Bunin in his correspondence with loved ones, friends and relatives. Yes, there were severe experiences of gaps with wives, especially with Varvara Pashchenko, young people did not register marriage, but lived in Poltava for a year and a half as a husband and wife.

I will not argue, after the flight of Pashchenko, Ivan Bunin came into despair. And it took the time and help of loved ones so that the life of a young poet would return to the usual direction. The father then said to him: “Remember, there is no more trouble than sadness and he did not add up to bad habits. His main drug was work. Ivan Bunin makes the impression of a strong, whole, extremely hardworking person who knows what he wants, going to the goal and sought by her thanks to his work and talent.

When I. Bunin matured, when his troubles were ended with women, that is, from the first years, that is, from the very first from the first The twentieth century in his many letters to loved ones is inconspicuous, grumbling, melancholy, on the contrary, Ivan Bunin and with a deed and advice tries to help some of his friends, for example, Alexander Kuprin, when he is in a gloomy mood, abuses alcohol, scandalin.
