In the year he joined the Komsomol.
He conducted an active Komsomol work: he was a volost instructor in the Gesidkovo volost, organized Komsomol cells in the villages of Gladkovo, Frolovskoye, Gavrilovskoye, Temchenevo now Sasovsky district, participated in the movement for eliminating illiteracy. In the year, according to the ticket of the Ryazan province of the Komsomol, he enters the Moscow Higher Literary -Arty Institute named after V.
in his student years, he became pioneering. Nikolai Vladimirovich loved children not in position, he was a teacher in nature, a kind and strong -willed senior comrade. He worked in the journal Pioneer, talked with N. Krupskaya - contributed to her correspondence with pioneers, wrote a preface to her book “Letters to Pioneers”. Friendship between A. Gaidar and N.
Bogdanov pushed the latter to the idea of writing a book about pioneer life. And such a book came out under the name "One of the first." This was the first artistic work written about pioneers. Next were followed by other books: “Party of Free Guys”, “Miracles”, “When I was a counselor” and others. When the war with the White Finns began, N. Bogdanov became a correspondent for the Army newspaper Lenin Way.
In the snow of Finland, he received military baptism and fully recognized the hardships of war. In the newspaper, Bogdanov wrote about the valor and courage of Soviet soldiers. His military essays laid down later the basis of several books. Especially for children, he wrote two books of stories: “Battle Friends” and “Stories about the War”. The whole war, from the first to the last day, was held by Nikolai Bogdanov at the front.
Starting from the 10ths, the life and work of Nikolai Bogdanov are closely connected with Tarusa. Nikolai Vladimirovich acquired one of the famous Tarusian houses, which previously belonged to the writer Anatoly Vinogradov, and thereby continued the “literary fate” of the house. Nikolai Vladimirovich Bogdanov is mistakenly considered a children's writer - perhaps for his love for children and youth, to whom he devoted a lot of time, always willingly held creative meetings with the guys, went on campaigns, invited him to himself.
But Bogdanov is not only a children's writer. He is the author of a number of works for an adult audience. During the years of the Great Patriotic War, Nikolai Vladimirovich was a military correspondent, risked his life at the front. Among the few military men, he was present on a warship under the act of signing by militaristic Japan of unconditional surrender.
His biography was rich in other events. Tarusyan stores a grateful memory of him primarily as a founder in the city of a children's library. The writer gave the fee from the publication of his two -volume per year and allocated part of his land for construction. Today the library bears his name. Nikolai Vladimirovich Bogdanov was buried in the old Tarusian cemetery.
A memorial plaque is installed on the wall of his house in Tarusa.
