Born on August 20, 1932 in Kazan in a family of party workers. Father - Aksenov Pavel Vasilievich (born in 1899). Mother - Evgenia Semenovna Ginzburg (born in 1904), author of well-known memoirs about Stalin's camps, including the book "The Steep Route". Wife - Aksenova Maya Afanasievna (born in 1930). Son - Aksenov Alexei Vasilievich (born in 1960).
In the late 1930s, V. Aksenov's parents were repressed. According to the writer, the world opened up for him in Magadan, where at the age of 16 he came to his mother, who was serving a link. A seven-day flight across the entire continent is an endless journey through endless expanses (on the way during the day, landing in large cities at night: in Sverdlovsk, Krasnoyarsk, Okhotsk ...) - made an indelible impression on him: geography, which was studied at school from textbooks and maps , now opened up before him in reality ... Magadan, paradoxically, struck with his freedom: in the evenings, a "salon" was going to his mother's barracks. In the company of "former camp intellectuals" they talked about such things that Vasily had not suspected before. The future writer was shocked by the breadth of the problems discussed, the arguments about the fate of mankind. And the proximity to Alaska and the Pacific Ocean opened up horizons outside the window ...
The first profession that Vasily Pavlovich mastered was the profession of a doctor. After graduating from the 1st Leningrad Medical Institute, Vasily Aksenov worked as a therapist at the quarantine station of the Leningrad Seaport (1956-1957). This period of life - in anticipation of meeting with distant countries, dreams of travel - he will describe later in the novel "Colleagues". Then Vasily Aksenov worked in the hospital of the Water Health Department in the village of Voznesenie on Lake Onega (1957-1958) and in the Moscow Regional Tuberculosis Dispensary (1958-1960).

As a writer, Vasily Aksenov made his debut in 1959. His first novel - "Colleagues" (1960), immediately brought him wide popularity, subsequently reprinted many times and was embodied on stage and on the screen. The novel Star Ticket (1961), published next, so obviously consolidated the success of the young prose writer that he decided to professionally engage in literary work. These and subsequent novels - "Oranges from Morocco" (1962) and "It's time, my friend, it's time" (1964) strengthened V. Aksenov's fame as one of the leaders of "young prose", which declared itself at the turn of the 1950s-1960s .
V. Aksyonov began his career in art by depicting young people skeptical of the then Soviet reality with their characteristic nihilism, spontaneous sense of freedom, interest in Western music and literature - with everything that opposed the accepted spiritual guidelines. The confessional nature of V. Aksenov's prose, the writer's sympathetic attention to the inner world, psychology and even the slang of the younger generation corresponded perfectly to the spiritual life of society. At this time, V. Aksenov became one of the most actively published and widely read authors of the Yunost magazine, being a member of its editorial board for several years.
By the mid-1960s, the philosophical richness of V. Aksenov's prose was intensifying, reflecting on the reasons for the failure of the "thaw", which he pinned his best hopes on. The writer's works, their focus on the problems of the "thaw" period and, above all, the eternal conflict of generations, which took on especially sharp forms in the conditions of the process of denying the totalitarian past, which was characteristic of that time, caused a heated controversy in criticism, attacks by censorship. Among the works of this period of the writer's work published in the USSR are the collections of short stories "Catapult" (1966) and "Halfway to the Moon" (1967), the novels "Steel Bird" (1968), "Love for Electricity" (1969), "My Grandfather - a monument" (1970), "A chest in which something knocks" (1973), "In search of a genre" (1977).
V. Aksenov's appeal to the individual contributed to the restructuring of the individual creative manner of the writer, who now combines the real and the unreal, the ordinary and the sublime within one work. Particularly skillfully different plans are intertwined in V. Aksenov's novel The Burn (1976), which was then banned by censorship. In it, the author managed to fully reflect the life of the Russian intelligentsia at the turn of the 1960-1970s. The heroes of the novel, each of whom is obsessed with his own creative idea, are in a state of tragic discord with the system existing in their country: the desire to hide from it turns out to be futile. The appearance and behavior of the heroes of the novel are determined by their opposition to the crowd generated by this system, to which everything lofty and bright is alien. The writer sees the way out for them in striving for God, in spiritual insight.
The appearance in 1968 of the story "The Overstocked Barrel" indicates a change in the direction of the writer's aesthetic searches, which is now going, in his own words, to "total satire". Here opens the amazing absurdity of the world in which the characters of the story live, called by V. Aksenov "a surreal thing."
The change in V. Aksenov's creative position testified not only to the writer's own artistic searches, who now renounced the principle of plausibility in his works, preferring to him the image of the "illusion of reality"; these changes themselves were caused by his growing conviction that “reality is so absurd that, using the method of absurdization and surrealism, the writer does not introduce absurdity into his literature, but, on the contrary, with this method he seems to be trying to harmonize the crumbling reality ... ".
Since that time, criticism of V. Aksenov and his works has become increasingly harsh. Even the form to which the writer turned now, perceived as non-Soviet and non-popular, was even attacked: in particular, V. Aksenov's play "Always on Sale", staged at the Sovremennik Theater, was evaluated in this way, indicating the transition of its author to avant-garde positions in art . The position of V. Aksenov became even more complicated when in 1977-1978 his works began to appear abroad (primarily in the USA). Then, in 1979, V. Aksenov, together with A. Bitov, Vik. Erofeev, F. Iskander, E. Popov, B. Akhmadulina was the compiler and author of the almanac Metropol, which brought together writers who dissociated themselves from socialist realism. Never published in the Soviet censored press, the almanac was published in the USA. In the USSR, he was immediately criticized by the authorities, who saw in him an attempt to get literature out of the control of state ideology. In 1979, V. Aksenov was expelled from the Union of Writers and the Union of Cinematographers of the USSR. On July 22, 1980, he left for the United States and was soon stripped of his Soviet citizenship.
In Washington, the novels written by V. Aksenov in Russia, but published for the first time only after the writer's arrival in America, are published in Washington: Our Golden Iron Man (1973, 1980), Burn (1976, 1980), Crimea Island (1979, 1981), collection of short stories "The Right to the Island" (1981). New novels by V. Aksenov are published in the USA: "Paper Landscape" (1982), "Say Raisins" (1985), "In Search of a Sad Baby" (1986), the Moscow Saga trilogy (1989, 1991, 1993), a collection of short stories " Goodie Negative" (1995), "Sweet New Style" (1997), "Caesarean Glow" (2000). The works written by him in exile (and most of all - "The Moscow Saga"), convince that the life of his native country, what is happening in it continues to be the focus of the writer.
After the return of citizenship to V. Aksenov in 1990, he often comes to Russia, where his works (in addition to those already mentioned - "My grandfather is a monument", 1991; "Rendezvous", 1992 ), published a collection of his works. In 1993-1994, his "Moscow Saga" was published in Russia, according to which director D. Barshchevsky is currently shooting a serial feature film (the artist of this picture is A. Aksenov, the writer's son). In June 1993, the first Aksenov Readings took place in Samara.
In addition to the works already mentioned, V. Aksenov wrote the story "Non-stop round the clock", the stories "Surprises", "Change in lifestyle", "Breakfasts of the forty-third year", "Dad, fold", "Palmer's second separation", " Gikki and Baby Kassandra", "The Story of a Basketball Team Playing Basketball", "To Basketball Lovers", "Victory", "A Simpleton in the World of Jazz", "A Million Separations", "Romantic Kitousov, Academician Veliky-Salazkin and the Mysterious Margarita" , "Out of season", etc. The novel "Yolk of the Egg" was written by V. Aksenov in English.
V. Aksenov - the author of a number of works for the drama theater (plays "Always on Sale", 1965; "Your Killer", 1966; "Four Temperaments", 1968; "Aristophaniana with Frogs", 1968; "Heron", 1980; " Woe, woe, burn", 1998; "Aurora Gorenina", 1999; "Ah, Arthur Schopenhauer", 2000) and screenplays (films "When the Bridges are Raised", 1961; "My Little Brother", 1962; "Marble House", 1973; "Central", 1976; "While the dream is mad", 1980).
In the USA, V. Aksenov was awarded the honorary title of Doctor of Humane Letters. He is a member of the PEN Club and the American Authors' League. Since 1981, V. Aksenov has been a professor of Russian literature at various US universities: Kennan Institute (1981-1982), George Washington University (1982-1983), Gaucher University (1983-1988), George Mason University (since 1988 and until present time).

Vasily Pavlovich Aksyonov (August 20, 1932, Kazan - July 6, 2009, Moscow) - Soviet and Russian writer.

Vasily Aksyonov was born on August 20, 1932 in Kazan, in a family of party workers, Evgenia Solomonovna Ginzburg (1904-1977) and Pavel Vasilyevich Aksyonov (1899-1991). He was the third, youngest child in the family (and the only common child of his parents). Father, Pavel Vasilyevich, was the chairman of the Kazan City Council and a member of the bureau of the Tatar regional committee of the CPSU. Mother, Evgenia Solomonovna, worked as a teacher at the Kazan Pedagogical Institute, then - head of the culture department of the Krasnaya Tatariya newspaper, was a member of the CPSU. Subsequently, having gone through the horror of the Stalinist camps, at the time of the exposure of the cult of personality, Yevgenia Ginzburg became the author of the book of memoirs "The Steep Route" - one of the first memoirs about the era of Stalinist repressions and camps, which told about the eighteen years spent by the author in prison, Kolyma camps and link.

In 1937, when Vasily Aksyonov was not yet five years old, both parents (first mother, and then soon father) were arrested and sentenced to 10 years in prison and labor camps. The older children, sister Maya (daughter of P. V. Aksyonov) and Alyosha (son of E. S. Ginzburg from his first marriage), were taken in by relatives. Vasya was forcibly sent to an orphanage for the children of prisoners (his grandmothers were not allowed to keep the child). In 1938, P. Aksyonov's brother, Andrey Vasilyevich Aksyonov, managed to find little Vasya in an orphanage in Kostroma and take him to him. Vasya lived in the house of Moti Aksyonova (his paternal relative) until 1948, when his mother Evgenia Ginzburg, leaving the camp in 1947 and living in exile in Magadan, obtained permission for Vasya to visit her in Kolyma. Evgenia Ginzburg will describe the meeting with Vasya in The Steep Route.

Many years later, in 1975, Vasily Aksyonov described his Magadan youth in his autobiographical novel The Burn.

In 1956, Aksyonov graduated from the 1st Leningrad Medical Institute and was assigned to the Baltic Shipping Company, where he was supposed to work as a doctor on long-distance ships. Despite the fact that his parents had already been rehabilitated, he was never given permission. Later it was mentioned that Aksyonov worked as a quarantine doctor in the Far North, in Karelia, in the Leningrad Sea Commercial Port and in a tuberculosis hospital in Moscow (according to other sources, he was a consultant at the Moscow Research Institute of Tuberculosis).

Since 1960, Vasily Aksyonov has been a professional writer.

On July 22, 1980, he left for the United States at the invitation, after which in 1981 he was deprived of Soviet citizenship. Until 2004 he lived in the USA.

Since 1981, Vasily Aksyonov has been a professor of Russian literature at various US universities: the Kennan Institute (1981-1982), George Washington University (1982-1983), Goucher College (1983-1988), George Mason University (1988-2009).

In 1980-1991, as a journalist, he actively collaborated with Voice of America and Radio Liberty. Collaborated with the magazine "Continent" and the almanac "Verb". Aksenov's radio essays were published in the author's collection "A decade of slander" (2004).

For the first time, after nine years of emigration, Aksyonov visited the USSR in 1989 at the invitation of the American Ambassador J. Matlock. In 1990, Aksyonov was returned to Soviet citizenship.

On July 6, 2009, after a long illness, Vasily Pavlovich Aksyonov died in Moscow, at the Sklifosovsky Research Institute.

Vasily Pavlovich Aksenov- Soviet, Russian writer
One of the brightest representatives of the generation of "sixties".
His works, filled with the spirit of freethinking, touching and tough, sometimes surreal, left few people indifferent. The reaction of readers is often diametrically opposed - shock or delight.
At the same time, the writer himself is sure that "the writer should not be the ruler of thoughts, but a straightener of thoughts, a liberator of thoughts, that is, try to make his readers co-authors, co-heroes of his books."

The famous prose writer, author of 23 novels, "dude" and "anti-Soviet" Vasily Pavlovich Aksenov was born in Kazan in the family of a party leader on August 20, 1932. The parents of the future writer were repressed. For several years Aksyonov lived with his exiled mother in Magadan. In 1956 he graduated from the Leningrad Medical Institute. In 1956-1960 he worked as a doctor in the Far North, in Karelia, in the Leningrad Commercial Sea Port, in a tuberculosis hospital in Moscow.

Aksenov's first stories were published in 1958 in the journal Yunost, which then seemed like an unattainable dream for young authors. In 1956, Aksenov met in one of the Moscow companies with the writer Vladimir Pomerantsev. Pomerantsev invited Aksenov to read his own stories. Pomerantsev liked the stories, and he took them to the magazine "Youth". Valentin Kataev, who at that time headed the magazine, admired the picturesque comparison of one of Aksenov's stories - "the stagnant waters of the canal looked like a dusty piano lid" - and decided to print Aksenov. Then two stories "Torches and roads" and "One and a half medical units" appeared in "Youth".

In 1960, Aksenov's story about doctors "Colleagues" was published, the apt name of which was invented by Kataev. The story was a great success and marked the beginning of the so-called "youth prose". It was in connection with "Colleagues" that the expression "sixties" first appeared, which now has practically lost its "authorship" and has become the designation of a whole generation and era. The first to use this expression in his article was the critic Stanislav Rassadin.

The main success was brought to Aksenov by the novel "Star Ticket", which was published in the same "Youth" in 1961. Its heroes were young people from the generation of the "festival of youth and students", which in the Komsomol press received the nickname "dudes".

Both novels were written in a confessional manner and relied linguistically on the youth slang of the early 1960s.

During the 1960s, Aksyonov published extensively. One after another, the novels "Oranges from Morocco" (1963), "It's time, my friend, it's time" (1964), "It's a pity that you weren't with us" (1965), "Overstocked barrel" (1968) ) and others. In 1972, Aksenov's story "In Search of a Genre" was published in the Novy Mir magazine.

Yevtushenko's commonplace formula "A poet in Russia is more than a poet" reshaped the fate of many Russian writers, including Aksenov. The increased interest of the KGB in literary creativity, clashes with Soviet censorship and criticism that duplicated it led Aksenov to a forced silence that lasted for ten years. However, the writer continued to work. In 1975, the novel "Burn" was written, and in 1979 - "Island of Crimea", banned for publication by censors.

In 1979, Aksenov became one of the organizers and authors of the uncensored almanac Metropol. In December 1979, he announced his withdrawal from the Writers' Union of the USSR. After harsh press statements against the writer, in July 1980, forced to "save" his novels, Aksenov left for the United States, where he learned about the deprivation of him and his wife of Soviet citizenship.

In exile, Aksenov becomes a bilingual author: the novel "The Yolk of an Egg" (1989) was written in English, and then translated by the author into Russian. American impressions formed the basis of the book "In Search of the Sad Baby" (1987).

In the USA, Aksenov taught Russian literature at John Mason University near Washington, for many years he led the seminar "The Modern Novel - the Elasticity of the Genre", and then the course "Two Centuries of the Russian Novel", was fond of the teachings of Shklovsky, Tynyanov, Bakhtin, then inaccessible in Russia .

For the first time after a long break, Aksenov visited the USSR in 1989 at the invitation of the American Ambassador Matlock, since the late 1980s Aksenov's books have been published again, and since the 1990s he has been in Russia often and for a long time.

In 1992, Aksyonov completed work on the 3-volume novel "Moscow Saga" about three generations of Moscow intellectuals of the 20th century. This novel marked the beginning of a change in the writer's style towards the epic. In the fall of 2001, director Dmitry Borshchevsky began filming a television movie based on the novel "The Moscow Saga", work on the film is planned to be completed in early 2003.

In 1998, the novel "Sweet New Style" was published, which touches on the fate of Russian emigrants in the United States.

After living in the United States for more than two decades, Aksyonov leaves the University of Washington and moves to France in Biarritz. Where the writer is working on a new book about 1764 in European history, for which he has been collecting material for a year and a half. France, including pictures of Paris, as well as the Baltic states, Holstein, Russian estates of provincial nobles will also become the scene of the new novel. In the plot - meaningless battles, Prussian and Russian secret services in bizarre interweaving, among the heroes - Voltaire and "strange", according to the writer himself, characters. The writer died in 2009

Description: Vasily Pavlovich Aksyonov (1932 - 2009) - Famous Soviet, American and Russian writer, journalist, screenwriter, screenwriter, translator, publicist, radio host, dissident and doctor. Member of the Union of Writers of the USSR and the Russian Federation. He also wrote under the pseudonym Grivadiy Gorpozhaks (together with O. Gorchakov and G. Pozhenyan). Winner of the all-Russian literary awards "The Great Ring" (1990) and "Russian Booker" (2004). Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters (France). Honorary Member of the Russian Academy of Arts. Classic of modern Russian literature.
Born on August 20, 1932, in the city of Kazan, Tatar ASSR, RSFSR, USSR, in an intelligent Russian-Jewish family of repressed party workers. He was the third, youngest child in the family (and the only common child of his parents). After the arrest of his parents under the infamous article 58 of the Criminal Code of the RSFSR, "for participation in a Trotskyist terrorist organization", he was brought up in an orphanage. In 1947, he moved to live with his mother, who, after being released from the camp, was serving a link to Kolyma, in the city of Magadan. In 1975, he described his Magadan youth in his autobiographical novel The Burn.
In 1956, he graduated from the 1st Leningrad Medical Institute and worked as a quarantine doctor in the Far North and Karelia for 3 years.
Since 1960, Vasily Aksyonov has been a professional writer. His debut story "Colleagues" was written in 1959, and in 1962, at the Mosfilm studio, it was filmed into a feature film of the same name, with Vasily Livanov and Tamara Syomina in the lead roles. The Moscow Saga trilogy was also filmed in Russia in 2004 as a 22-episode television series of the same name.
In the 1960s, the works of V. Aksyonov were often published in the journal Yunost. For several years, he has been a member of the editorial board of this journal.
The main success was brought to Aksyonov by the novel "Star Ticket", which was published in the magazine "Youth" in 1961. Its heroes were young people from the generation of the "festival of youth and students", which in the Komsomol press received the nickname "dudes".
In March 1963, at a meeting with the intelligentsia in the Kremlin, N.S. Khrushchev subjected Vasily Aksyonov, along with the sixties poet Andrei Voznesensky, to devastating criticism. In 1967 - 1968, V.P. Aksyonov signed a number of letters in defense of Soviet dissidents.
In the 1970s, after the end of the "thaw", his works ceased to be published in the USSR. At this time, criticism of the writer and his works is becoming increasingly harsh: such epithets as "non-Soviet" and "non-folk" are used. In 1972, he, together with Ovid Gorchakov (1924 - 2000) and Grigory Pozhenyan (1922 - 2005), under the pseudonym Grivadiy Gorpozhaks (a combination of names and surnames of real authors), wrote a parody novel on the American spy thriller "Jean Green - Untouchable ".
In 1976, he translated from English into Russian the novel "Ragtime" by the famous American writer of Jewish origin Edgar Lawrence Doctorow (1931 - 2015). In 1977 - 1978, Aksyonov's works appeared abroad, primarily in the USA.
Vasily Pavlovich wrote his most famous novel, The Island of Crimea, in 1977-1979, partly during his stay in the village of Koktebel, in the Crimea. In the Soviet Union, it was first published in 1990 in the journal Yunost (1990, nos. 1-5), with major censorship corrections. There is also an unofficial continuation of this novel - the story of the Ukrainian writer Olga Chigirinskaya-Bryleva "Your Honor".
In 1978, Vasily Aksyonov, together with Andrei Bitov, Viktor Erofeev, Fazil Iskander, Evgeny Popov and Bella Akhmadulina, became the organizer and author of the uncensored samizdat almanac Metropol. Never published in the Soviet censored press, the almanac was published in the USA. In 1979, the writer announced his withdrawal from the SP of the USSR.
From 1980 to 2004, he lived in the United States, deprived of Soviet citizenship. Since 1981, Vasily Pavlovich Aksyonov has been an honorary doctor of humanities and professor of Russian literature at various US universities. In 1980 - 1991, as a journalist, he actively collaborated with the Voice of America and Radio Liberty, as well as with the Continent magazine and the Verb almanac. It was in the USA that many of his novels were written and first published. He was a member of the PEN Club and the American Authors' League. In 1990, he was given back Soviet citizenship.
In 1992, he actively supported the reforms of E. Gaidar. In his words: "Gaidar kicked Mother Russia." In 1993, during the dispersal of the Supreme Council, he agreed with those who signed the letter in support of the President of the Russian Federation B.N. Yeltsin.
Recently, Aksyonov lived with his family in the elite resort town of Biarritz (France) and in Moscow (RF), he was married 2 times, has a son from 1 marriage: Russian cinematographer and production designer, VGIK graduate Alexei Vasilievich Aksyonov (born 18 September 1960, in Moscow).
The writer died on July 6, 2009, in the Russian Federation, in the city of Moscow, from a stroke, in a hospital at the Research Institute for Emergency Medicine. N.V. Sklifosovsky, at the age of 76 and was buried at the Vagankovsky cemetery in Moscow.
In Kazan, since 2007, annually, in the month of October, the International Literary and Music Festival Aksyonov-Fest is held, and in 2009, the building was recreated there and the Literary House-Museum of V. Aksyonov was opened, in which the city literary club operates. In 2010, Aksyonov's unfinished autobiographical novel Lend-Lease was released.
Vasily Aksyonov has always been fashionable. He certainly moved in the direction of rapprochement with Western, primarily American literature. He succeeded in what all writers dream of - to cross the line of generations. He conquered everyone - both the romantic readers of the magazine "Youth", and the bearded Soviet dissidents, and today's Russia. His works, filled with the spirit of freethinking, touching and tough, sometimes surreal, left few people indifferent. The reaction of readers to them was often diametrically opposed - shock or delight. At the same time, the writer himself was sure that "the writer should not be the master of thoughts, but the unharnesser of thoughts, the liberator of thoughts, that is, try to make his readers co-authors, co-heroes of his books." Prose V.P. Aksyonova often gravitated towards fantasy - these were fairy tales, and alternative stories, and "magic realism", and "strange" prose. Many readers saw in his novels a continuation of the tradition of Hemingway, Faulkner and Salinger. Some of his works have been filmed.
