Vladislav Krapivin

The Soviet and Russian writer, author of about 250 short stories, novellas, novels for children and youth Vladislav Krapivin is a paradox of modern children's literature: known to millions of readers, but practically not studied by critics and literary critics.

On October 14, 1938, in Tyumen, the third child, Vladislav, was born in the family of Pyotr Fedorovich and Olga Petrovna Krapivin. Parents are educators, my father was also an Orthodox priest in Kirov. But, fleeing repressions, Pyotr Fedorovich had to leave his dignity and move his family to Tyumen. Vladislav did not know about this episode for many years.

Even as a child, Vladislav began to compose stories, which he gladly told his peers, and they listened with no less pleasure.

After school, the young man first planned to enter a pedagogical university, following in the footsteps of his parents, but in the end he chose the journalism faculty of the Ural State University named after A.M. Gorky. In his student years, Vladislav Krapivin participated in a literary circle, collaborated with local media, was fond of Paustovsky's work.

The countdown of the biography of the young writer begins with the book "The Flight of" Orion ", published in Sverdlovsk in 1962. It was immediately followed by a collection of short stories "The Brother Who Is Seven". In 1964, Krapivin was admitted to the Union of Writers of the USSR. More than one generation of children grew up on the books "Boy with a Sword", "Shadow of the Caravel", "Three from Carronade Square", "Children of the Blue Flamingo", "Crane and Lightning".

The author himself said that he wrote for children for a reason, he wanted to prolong his own childhood, taken away by the war. The early works of the writer breathe the romance of the young - swords, sails, roads calling into an unknown, but beautiful distance. And on these roads are the "Krapivinsky boys" - rebels, romantics and dreamers with their own view of the world, courageous defenders capable of serious deeds.

And it is easy for the reader to believe in what is happening on the pages of the book, because the author constantly confronts the characters with the injustice of life. Krapivin is somewhat cruel to his own heroes, but he is honest - in the modern world, rebels are inconvenient for the layman, and therefore are always at gunpoint. The main thing that the writer gives to the heroes is friendship. Older teenagers take care of the younger ones, help them grow up more painlessly. But in the world of Krapivin there is almost no place for adults.

In the 1980s, Vladislav Krapivin left realism and smoothly moved on to fantasy worlds. This is how the cycle of works "In the depths of the Great Crystal" appeared, which includes seven stories. The last in the cycle was supposed to be "The White Ball of the Sailor Wilson", but suddenly, according to the author, two more stories were written afterwards.

The author's bibliography is extensive; there are about seventy stories alone. In 2017, in an interview with the magazine "Interlocutor", when asked about the number of works written, the writer replied that he did not count them, adding:

Literary critic Sergei Borisov singles out among the works of the prose writer the main ones, in his opinion, starting with "The Squire of Kashka" and ending with "The Tales of Sevka Glushchenko". But at the same time, Borisov does not take into account the writer's work in the 1990s and 2000s, when Lawns, where birdhouses dance, "Butterfly on a barbell," etc. were written.

And Vladislav Krapivin wrote poetry, which he himself, not considering himself a poet, is critical of: some were written for insertion into prose works, others - as lyrics.

Krapivin's books were published both in Russia and abroad: in Bulgaria, Japan, USA, France, Germany. Quotes from works have already turned into aphorisms. An interesting fact: the stories of Sergei Lukyanenko "The Marina of Yellow Ships", "The Knights of the Forty Islands" and "The Boy and the Darkness" were written, according to the author, under the influence of Krapivin's stories.

In 1979, a two-part film "The Side is the Wind" was released, in which Krapivin's eldest son Pavel starred. Filmed adaptations of the works "Lullaby for Brother", "Three from Carronade Square", "Boy with a Sword". And the writer was not very pleased with the film based on the book "Children of the Blue Flamingo" - "The Legend of the Island of Dvid".

According to journalist Vladimir Berezin, Krapivin, who focuses on the inner world of a teenager, is unique and important. Indeed, in the Soviet Union there was literature for children, there was literature for adults, and teenagers seemed to fall out. Therefore, the work of the writer has so many fans. Having matured, they are ready to defend both their beloved author and their favorite books, while protecting their own childhood in the first place.

Vladislav Krapivin, besides writing, gave a lot of energy to pedagogy. In 1961 in Sverdlovsk the writer organized the "Caravel" detachment, which included children of different ages, but with the same aspirations. Studied journalism, maritime affairs and fencing.

Then in the Soviet Union, children's organizations created not with the knowledge and not on the basis of the school were not welcomed. Against this background, "Caravel" looked like a threat to the system, and therefore they tried to close it several times.

However, this did not happen. "Caravel" has educated many creators and scientists. And many of the heroes of Krapivin's works appeared only thanks to more than 30 years of work of the writer with teenagers.

In the 1980s, the Uchitelskaya Gazeta published a series of articles by Krapivin declaring the teacher's main idea: childhood is as valuable as all other stages of human life. And you need to be friends with children, because the cooperation of generations, according to the author, is the basis for the development of both society and each individual person.

In 1964, Vladislav Krapivin got married. With his wife Irina Vasilievna, the writer raised two sons - Pavel and Alexei. The elder Pavel gave his parents two grandchildren - Daria and Peter.

Vladislav Petrovich has many awards, including the Order of the Red Banner of Labor, Friendship of Peoples and Honor. Recognized as an honorary citizen of Yekaterinburg, Sverdlovsk region, Tyumen. He repeatedly received literary prizes.

Since 2006, the V.P. Krapivin International Children's Literary Prize has been awarded. Once a year, on October 14, the laureate is awarded a prize, a diploma and a commemorative medal, a sketch of which was created by Vladislav Krapivin.

In 2007, the writer moved from Yekaterinburg to Tyumen. In his hometown he taught at the university. In 2011, the Vladislav Krapivin Museum was opened on the basis of the Tyumen Literary and Local Lore Center. In the fall of 2013, the writer and his wife returned to Yekaterinburg, closer to the family of their eldest son.

In 2016, asteroid No. 407243 was named after Krapivin. There is a group on VKontakte dedicated to the work of Vladislav Krapivin. There are both old and recent photos of the writer.

The Director of the Sverdlovsk Regional Library for Children and Youth, together with the Russian Post, launched the "Congratulate the Commander" campaign for Vladislav Krapivin's 80th birthday.

In September 2018, a competition of postcards will begin, which will be drawn by young readers based on the books of the hero of the day. The winning postcards will be delivered to the writer on his birthday.

In 2018, by the anniversary, Vladislav Krapivin could become an honorary citizen of Sevastopol, but the city's Legislative Assembly in July 2018 rejected this idea. The fact is that the Sevastopol Legislative Assembly has a rule - to confer the title of an honorary citizen every three years, and in 2016 this title was awarded to Vladimir Putin.
