Aleksandr Kabakov

The writer Alexander Kabakov published his first story only at the age of 46. During the remaining 30 years of his life, the prose writer twice became a laureate of the Russian Big Book Prize.

The future writer was born in the fall of 1943 in Novosibirsk in the family of Abram Yakovlevich and Frida Isaakovna Kabakov. The writer has few peers, because by the time the boy was born, most men had already been in the war for 2 years.

The year and place of birth of the prose writer is due to the fact that Abram Yakovlevich served here as an engineer of the 25th railway brigade. After the war, Alexander's father developed Soviet ballistic missiles, and the boy spent most of his childhood in the vicinity of the Kapustin Yar training ground in the Astrakhan region.

In an interview with the Znanie - Sila magazine, the writer admitted that he began to read books on his own late, he liked listening to his grandmother's reading. The father disappeared at work for days, and little Sasha had few points of contact with the neighbors' children. Jules Verne was the favorite writer of young Kabakov.

Abram Yakovlevich, who rose to the rank of colonel and was awarded 4 Orders of the Red Star, insisted that his son connect his life with engineering. The young man graduated from the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of Dnepropetrovsk University. In an interview with Igor Svinarenko, Kabakov claimed that he received a red diploma thanks to his talent for memorizing and retelling textbooks in pages.

Alexander Abramovich began his working career at the Mikhail Yangel Design Bureau at Yuzhmash. Also in his youth, he managed to work at the All-Union Research Institute of Electromechanics. But the engineering activity, humorously described in the novelist's story "House of Models", did not like the lover of literature, and at the age of 29 the man began to work as a journalist in the newspaper of Soviet railway workers.

The writer preferred to keep his personal life away from prying eyes. Ella Nikolskaya, editor of the letters department of the newspaper Gudok, was Kabakov's wife. The first youthful marriage gave Alexander Abramovich a daughter, Raisa, whose father he became at 22.

According to Andrey Kolesnikov, the author of The Devotee was very fond of animals. At the time of purchasing the house in the Moscow region, Kabakov had 2 dogs and 8 cats. In one of the most famous photos, the writer is captured with his favorite - a smoky cat.

Back in 1981, the author won the Golden Calf award from Literaturnaya Gazeta. However, no one wanted to publish a collection of humorous stories by the young prose writer during the years of stagnation.

The novel The Defendant, published at the end of perestroika, made Alexander Abramovich famous. The writer predicted an attempted coup d'état undertaken by the coup d'etat in August 1991, and the "daring" of the coming decade. The premiere of Sergei Snezhkin's film on the writer's dystopia took place on Leningrad television at the height of the putsch.

The most famous works in Kabakov's bibliography are also the novel "Everything is Fixable" and the collection "Moscow Fairy Tales". Both books have won literary awards.

The prose writer was proud that, like Ivan Bunin, he wrote works at once completely. However, the names of the writer's creations were sometimes transformed. For example, "Kristapovich's Approach" was transformed when republished in "Blow for Blow, or Kristapovich's Approach", and "The Fugitive" - ​​in "The Fugitive". Social fiction and memoir writing of everyday life prevailed among the author's works by genre.

The last years of his life, the writer suffered from Parkinson's disease and diabetes. He lived in a nursing home, could not read or write, and only looked at the TV or window. The man did not want the obituary to say "passed away" about him, since he had not gone any more.

The cause of death of the prose writer, which occurred on April 18, 2020, was thromboembolism. Obituaries about the writer were titled by fellow writers with the titles of his works: Maya Kucherskaya in Vedomosti - "The Last Hero", and Andrei Kolesnikov in the newspaper "Kommersant" - "Refugee".
