Evgeny Prilepin

Now Zakhar Prilepin is known as a writer and columnist, actor and TV presenter, musician and politician. He writes for LiveJournal, maintains a Youtube channel and edits the Free Press website. At the same time, he does not suffer from the torments of creativity and "does not know what inspiration is." The main disappointment is the lack of time: children grow up, and the moments of their growing up are missed.

In this cycle Prilepin draws strength from the fact that he has no "claims to life."

Zakhar Prilepin was born in July 1975 in the village of Ilyinka, Ryazan Region. At birth, the boy was named Eugene. The Prilepin family was not rich: father Nikolai worked as a history teacher at school, and mother Tatyana was a nurse in a hospital. Therefore, the future writer had to start working from an early age.

Close people, Zakhar later recalled, were so colorful and he loved them so much that he endowed the heroes of the works with their inherent features. In the story "Forest" the father is written off from Prilepin Sr., the grandfather from "Sin" is the author's grandfather, Semyon.

In 1986, the family moved to the Nizhny Novgorod region, to the city of Dzerzhinsk, where the parents were given an apartment. Prilepin's mother got a job at the Korund chemical plant. At the age of 16, the boy began to work as a loader in a bakery shop. A year later, his father died, after his death the guy had a hard time. After graduating from school, he changed his place of residence to Nizhny Novgorod, after which he joined the army in 1994, but was subsequently discharged.

Then Prilepin entered the police school - tall (185 cm), a strong young man served in the OMON.

In parallel with his work, the future writer studied at the Faculty of Philology of Nizhny Novgorod University named after Lobachevsky. However, it was not destined to continue his studies at that time - in 1996 Prilepin was sent to Chechnya. After another 3 years, Zakhar took part in hostilities in another Caucasian region - in Dagestan.

In the 90s, Prilepin lacked the salary of a riot policeman, and he worked as security guards in nightclubs. He worked as a security guard and a handyman. In 1999, the man graduated from the university and left the OMON.

In 2000, in Nizhny Novgorod, Prilepin began working for the local newspaper Delo, after which he quickly became a fairly popular journalist. A year after being hired, Zakhar became the chief editor of the newspaper.

The first opuses of Prilepin the writer began to appear in 2003, then they were poetry. At this time, the first novel "Pathology" was written, in which the theme of the Chechen war runs like a red thread. At first, it was printed piece by piece in magazines, and published as a separate book in 2005.

Since 2006, various publishers have published works "Sankya", "Sin", "Shoes full of hot vodka", "I came from Russia", "Terra Tartarara. This concerns me personally. ”“ Name day of the heart. Conversations with Russian literature ”.

Prilepin was educated at the School of Public Policy, which was founded by the Mikhail Khodorkovsky's Open Russia Foundation. In 2007, the writer became one of the co-founders of the People movement, whose ideology was “democratic nationalism”.

In the same year, Zakhar Prilepin started a blog on the open platform Live Journal. Here the writer boldly covers topics of interest to him, writes about personal creativity, literature and politics. Zakhar does not hide his firm position on many sensitive political issues.

2009 was marked for Prilepin by receiving a silver medal from the Bunin Prize for the collection “TerraTartarara. This concerns me personally. " At the same time, Zakhar was appointed secretary of the Russian Union of Writers. In addition, he began his career as a TV presenter, working in the PostTV program.

In 2010, Zakhar Prilepin signed an appeal to the Russian authorities from the opposition and explained in an interview that he considers Vladimir Putin to be a system, and "the entire system needs to be changed in order to get an open political space." The activist more than once met with the President of Russia in person, talking with him on various topics, including political ones.

In 2011, the author received the Supernatsbest Prize for his novel Sin. The same work received the title of "National Bestseller".

Zakhar loves Russian rock and sometimes writes music himself. In 2011 he made his debut with the album "The Four Seasons", recorded with his own band "Elefunk" on the Midday Music label.

In the same 2011, the famous men's magazine GQ named Prilepin the writer of the year. At the same time, the author was awarded the Bronze Snail Prize for his novel The Black Monkey.

In 2012, Zakhar wrote a textbook on modern literature "Book-reader" and published stories in the collection "Eight".

A year later, the man became the host of the author's creative program Prilepin on the Dozhd channel. The program was in the format of a conversation with invited guests, and at the end of the show the guest had to share his creativity: read a fragment of prose, sing and the like.

In 2014, the novel "Abode" brought Zakhar Prilepin the prestigious "Big Book" prize, established by the business circles of Russia. The winners are selected by a jury of 100 people, including scientists and artists, journalists and social activists.

In 2015, the writer continued his television career. Zakhar undertook to host the music show "Salt" on the REN TV channel, where he talked with popular Russian musicians on important social topics. 65 episodes went on the air, and at the beginning of 2016 Prilepin opened a new author's program "Tea with Zakhar" on the Orthodox channel "Tsargrad TV". This project was closed a year later.

Politics is a tedious business, says Zakhar, people are tired, and few people want to plunge into this swamp, but they feel that this is what they are obliged to do. Prilepin's main interest was the Ukrainian question. The writer's blogs are mainly devoted to the situation in the Donbass.

In 2015, Prilepin took the post of adviser to the head of the Donetsk People's Republic, Alexander Zakharchenko, in 2016 he began to participate in military clashes. The man became the deputy commander of the special forces battalion for work with the personnel of the DPR army, where he subsequently rose to the rank of major.

In the same year, Prilepin took part in a public discussion of political and social issues at the platform of the "Trend" discussion club in St. Petersburg. The famous translator Dmitry Puchkov spoke with Zakhar. The speakers agreed on many issues.

Zakhar Prilepin shared his views with Altai readers during joint press conferences with journalist and writer Sergei Shargunov in Barnaul.

In 2017, the media reported that Prilepin was tired of simply delivering humanitarian aid to Donbass. The Russian writer gathered a battalion of local residents, "whom he knew where to look." Not without accusations of propaganda of mercenarism, when in an interview with "Komsomolskaya Pravda" the words were heard that "there is a queue of guys from Russia."

Prilepin told the press in "LiveJournal" that he did not announce the conscription into the DPR army and did not invite people to the battalion, especially as mercenaries. We are not talking about any call.

Prilepin also asked not to invite him to TV - he refused to give interviews, reproaching the media that they misinterpret his words and "arrange a booth." As proof of his words, the man publishes links and excerpts from materials dedicated to him on his blog, where he is sometimes called "Putin's agent", then they predict a quick sweep by the Russian authorities.

This social and political situation inspired the author to write a collection of biographies of writers who participated in various wars of past centuries. The book was published in 2017 under the title Platoon. Officers and militias of Russian literature ”.

Critics responded to the publication of the book and to the fact that Prilepin continues to broadcast television, accusing him of hypocrisy, of a frivolous understanding of war. The writer responded to these claims by saying that if he gives up everything and fights quietly in Donbass, then he, his battalion and his ideas will lose stable funding and a platform for statements, which will not be "an act" at all, as Prilepin's opponents describe.

Zakhar donates the money earned by his art to charity. According to the writer, he has one and a half million requests for help to families affected by the conflict. Prilepin contributed to the large-scale music festival "Lava-fest" with the invitation of rappers Husky, Ptah and Rich.

In addition to musicians, to tell Donetsk and Lugansk that Russia does not forget about them, Sergei Makhovikov, Sergei Puskepalis, Ivan Okhlobystin, Mikhail Porechenkov come - golden, according to Zakhar, guys.

Information about Zakhar's personal life is stingy. He met his wife Maria Prilepin while still at NSU at the Faculty of Philology. Young people got married in the 3rd year. The Prilepin family has four children - Gleb, Kira, Ignat and Lilia.

Zakhar is an Orthodox Christian, constantly goes to church, baptized children. The Prilepins live in Nizhny Novgorod, in a house on the bank of the Kerzhenets river. In November 2017, Zakhar and Maria got married in Donetsk.

In addition to LJ, Zakhar uses Instagram and Twitter, and his Facebook page is regularly blocked for publishing posts mentioning the word “crest”. The writer even calculated that he lost contact with subscribers on this social network at least 5 times. Prilepin noted that while he was in the area of ​​hostilities, posted photos and videos and other information, the Facebook administration was not interested in him.

Zakhar's accounts contain a link to the official website, where visitors can see how a publicist was in his youth, read new articles and immediate plans.

The writer's sister, Elena, was married to a cousin of Vladislav Surkov, an aide to the President of Russia. According to Zakhar, the official's relative is one of his sister's 3 husbands, and the family has never received any “bonuses” from this.

In November 2017, the writer's cooperation with the NTV channel began. The program "Russian Lessons with Zakhar Prilepin" is a mix of video blogging and analytical transmission. The publicist comments on the news of the economy, politics, suggests topics for discussion in society.

In 2018, Zakhar returned to Russia, because he did not see any changes in the situation in the DPR and "now there are many other important things that need to be completed, I am already in my fifties." TV journalist Alexander Nevzorov said on the air of "Echo of Moscow" that Prilepin threw Donetsk for a reason, but was aiming for the chair of the chairman of the Writers' Union of Russia.

Upon arrival, Zakhar met with Ksenia Sobchak at a debate organized by the Dozhd channel, where he frankly answered the question whether he had to kill people. As a person who has gone through 3 wars, the writer is familiar with this.

Shortly before leaving, Zakhar starred in the short film "Duty" about a militia who was on duty on the phone. The film won the Best Narrative Short prize at the Tribeco Festival in New York and is automatically included in the Oscar long list.

Friends, whose names Prilepin did not name, offered to star in the lead role in the film "Tolerance" about gender issues in a European city.

A writer with his own point of view, not indifferent and able to conduct a discussion, was invited to the Public Council of the State Duma Committee on Culture. The task of the committee is to react to high-profile events, honestly and thoughtfully look for ways to solve problems, and influence the spiritual development of the country.
