Biography of Gennady Buravkina

Call this share, case or providence. Having got sick with tuberculosis, he found his wife. Closing closer to Masherov - made a career. Having lost the position, he saved the honor. And thanks to his appointment, Belorussian television received his head of television radio. Behind this seemingly even and successful life, many different things were hidden. Paradoxically, in the life of Gennady Buravkin, his ability to say no.

Three months, while Gennady Buravkin was lying in the hospital, out of three dozens of his neighbors from the ward they carried out the bodies of seven. But she could not leave the guy in trouble and was the only one who visited the sick student daily. When he recovered, she got married against her mother’s will. Buraskin was already an interesting person then and stood out among others: he read a lot and was a poet, but most importantly - he burned with a Belarusian idea.

This attracted her, Ukrainian, although she was absolutely unfamiliar to her ... They lived together for 55 years. Gennady Buravkin - was born in the village of Shulyatino now Trodovichi of the Rosson region of the Vitebsk region. As he himself noted in one of the poems “Our share on Radazz was Nebagatai. In the year he graduated from the journalism department of the Filfak BSU.

Upon returning to Belarus, he was Deputy Minister of Culture and Press, then an adviser to Deputy Prime Minister. In the years - just the deputy chief editor of the magazine Vyzhk. He wrote poetry from his school years, published three dozen poetic books. In E and E, he took an active part in independent public organizations, including heading TBM. In M, together with Rygor Borodulin, Radim Goretsky and Anatoly Gritsekevich, he was the co -chair of the All -Belorussian congress for independence.

But only once the generation of Buravkin in literature was called philological. Here it was already possible to do what was most to the liking - literature. In addition, the apartment was promised. In the Soviet Union, it was impossible to buy housing and few could build for money - when Buravkin was young, the construction of the so -called cooperative apartments was just beginning.

Typically, apartments were distributed to the places of work. Only enterprises or associations, where apartments were given earlier, were prestigious. In this sense, participants in creative unions were in a privileged position. However, the need to get housing tied a person to institutions. Buravkin, from his youth, was energetic and the ruff. So characterized his friends.

Petrus Brovka also said, having met his father: “You have a good father, Gennad, troubled and not indifferent. Now I understood you, and the ardor, and I understood your awakeness. This is from your father. " Gennady Buravkin, very young, in the back row a little to the right of the center. Even then, it was a special seriousness of the edge of the found in it during a joint trip to the Polotchina, which became a kind of act of reconciliation.

The fact is that in the year young writers - and Buravkin in the forefront - achieved the resignation of the edge of the post of chairman of the Writers' Union. Our most honed arrows rained down against him, many of us voted against him. Of course, then, by our dear ignorance, we could not know what difficult bread it was - the leadership of the creative organization, we could not even guess how difficult it is to be absolutely objective in this “skin”, how much talent, authority, character, but also necessity mean much.

We wanted truth and justice in its purest form, without discounts on the complexity of time, without diplomacy and any retreat. Like all young and thanks for this youth! At first, the edge, of course, was offended, and then he was even grateful, because he did not sit in the writer's union, but created the first encyclopedia in Belarusian history. Forests and forests.

Here is the lowest population density. As, for example, in the story of the resignation of the edge. Or when, together with Borodulin, Bykov, Vertinsky and Gilevich, he signed a letter against Belarusian emigration. When they somehow asked about the history of the appearance of the Buppin's signature under this collective letter, Gennady Nikolaevich said: “History to judge that we did honestly and where we were sagitized by official propagandists.

When I later got to America and met emigrants closer, only then I found out how difficult their fate was. Many of our former compatriots did not take part in punitive actions, were teachers in schools or worked in accounting or office, earned themselves and the family on a piece of bread to survive, there was no blood on their hands. And yet - they really wanted free Belarus.

Upon learning of, I realized how offensive the letter was for them ... ". Meanwhile, when the time came to return home from the United States, Buravkin was proposed to lead the emigrant movement - in any case, the rumors stated. In a letter that was not written by his “authors”, but in the Central Committee of the Communist Party, emigrant writers and “Radio Liberty” were accused of collaboration during the war.

The latter invited Buravkin to write “on behalf of literary youth” material in support of criticism.I could not betray a friend whom I sincerely loved ... ”This story happened in the year. To the honor of Buravkin, he never “ran away” again. And, standing up for others, sometimes he risked not only a career, but also his own fate. Soon the author will be shielded “from Moscow to the very outskirts”, but one of the first volleys will be given their own - the newspaper “Soviet Belarus” with an article under the eloquent name “Contrary to the Truth of Life”.

Outraged by unjust criticism, young poets Gennady Buravkin and Anatoly Vertinsky write a letter from the KPB Central Committee and collect signatures of more than fifty writers under it, including the first Belarusian writers, who at that time were perceived only as living classics: Yankees of Brylya, Arkady Kuleshov, Ivan Melezh, Maxim Tanka. In the USSR they did not like public protests, especially collective ones.

The first on the right in the front row is Maxim Tank. Next to him is the creator of the choir chapel Grigory Shirma on the left. And Gennady Buravkin is the second on the left in the second row, in his dark glasses. Bykova, believing that the newspaper "Soviet Belarus" performed biased. Buravkin said: “Soviet Belarus” crossed out the work of V. Bykov and caused a reverse reaction among writers.

Grounding occurs. After the newspaper’s performance, one gets the impression that V. Bykov is judged as in the process. ” There were no consequences for Buravkin from the home archive of Rygor Borodulin, but, to surprise. Apart from the Union of Writers, a party meeting was held, at which it was supposed to be excluded from the CPSU, but the writers - even those with whom Buravkin was not in the best relations - stood up for his defense.

Moreover, two years later, during the nomination of the Pravda correspondent, Pilotovich wrote a letter to the General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee of the CPSU, in which he stated that Peter Masherov was making a gross political mistake, supporting the nationalist. Communist leaders were different. Kupalovsky saved at an interview in the main newspaper of the USSR Buravkin honestly said that Bykov is his friend, to criticize him, of course, it is possible, but not as it was done.

And the chief editor, Belarusian Mikhail Zimanin, liked this. However, during the second meeting, Zimyanin was already darkened: although Brezhnev signed a decision on the appointment, he just came a letter from Pilotovich, in which Buravkin was accused of nationalism and ideological rottenness. Then he smiled: "Your happiness - Peter Mironovich entrusted you with." Pilotovich will return to Minsk from the diplomatic service in M, but not to the Central Committee, but by the deputy head of the Council of Ministers, at that time it was a significant decrease.

Even the area of ​​apartments in the Councils of Councils was lower than in Tsekovsky. Meanwhile, the ideology of the ideology of the ideology of Masherov was replaced by the liberal, the former Frontovik pilot Alexander Kuzmin. This man with Bykov did not fight, but was friends. In general, he acted with a gingerbread, not a whip. His tactics were fruit. In the BSSR of this period, the critical intelligentsia did not turn into dissidentity, but found a niche for compromise cultural work.

Not only National Communists, like Buravkin, but also convinced anti-communists, like Poznyak, had the opportunity to work. For that period, cooperation was typical, not confrontation. In such conditions, Belarusian culture was formed - and political culture - in the late Soviet period. As for Buravkin and Pravda, here, on the pages of the main Soviet officialdom, he wrote, among other things, about the disgraced Vasil Bykov, in addition, he printed an article by the young art critic Zeno Poznyak about the demolition of Nemigi: according to the authors of the buildings of the capital, the old city - starting from the Trinity of the Trinity, the upper city and Rakovsky’s depression.

You need to reduce a little and smooth something. Otherwise, it will not be possible, but the article is needed: we must protect Minsk. I immediately saw that in this case we were like -minded people, and agreed that he, as an editor, should do those abbreviations. For some reason, Gennady began to make excuses that he was not a censor or a coward, but we must approach in such a way as to print and shoot.

” The publication really “shot”, and managed to save the building of the Kupalovsky Theater. The destruction of the old city was also stopped, however, temporarily. Temporarily stayed with a correspondent of Pravda and Buravkin - in M ​​he headed the magazine Maladost. There were rumors that this was outraged by the article in defense of the old city of Masherov, but the reason was different: Moscow began to seduce Buravkin’s position of his own correspondent of Pravda in some Western country with foreign currency salaries then, they provided a high standard of living, and in order to detain him in Belarus, Masherov gave him “Malados”-a magazine who was born into the world.

Being Masherov, the first secretary of the Central Committee of the LKSMB. This is the young Eleanor Ezerskaya, the future secular lioness of Belarusian television. Next to her is composer Sergey Cortes.And next to Buravkin, on the right - his wife Julia, meanwhile, Buravkin had a different temptation - to become the head of the Belarusian Komsomol. But his wife could not stand, in her words, "Komsomol members."
