"To Tarrussky pages" - 40 years.
In October, 1961, perhaps, on the peak of thaw,
The literary public which during that time fed the great
Hopes of life updating, it has been shaken by the next loud
Scandal. Let out by the Kaluga publishing house
The literary and art almanac "Tarussky pages" not
Only has received devastating articles in a party press, but it
"Studied" even on a Central Committee Bureau across RSFSR.
So special attention to "Tarussky pages", certainly,
Was not casual. In him have published verses unknown earlier
Marinas Tsvetaevas and Nikolay Zabolotsky, under pseudonym N.
JAkovleva in him Hope Mandelshtam was printed living in Taruse.
The collection was decorated by memoirs on Century
Mejerholde and V.Borisove-Musatove, never the published
The story tarusjanina Jury Krymova. And as though osenjaemye the great
Names, in the almanac printed verses and prose young or
Rather young writers on those times. Who was among
Them?
Today the list of authors "Tarussky pages" impresses and
Forces to take off a hat respectfully: Boris Slutsky and Vladimir
Kornilov, Jury Kazakov and David Samoilov, Naum Korzhavin and Vladimir
Maxims, Damask steel Okudzhava and Boris Balter... This list
Testifies to that, however perspicacious concerning the true
Talents there were composers of the almanac.
It is quite natural, that history, how in regional
Publishing house it was possible to collect under one cover the unsurpassed
"Holder" of names - in addition all products were printed for the first time! -
Already today has started to acquire legends. On one and, probably,
The most plausible version, the almanac plan has ripened at
The then editor of the Kaluga publishing house of Nikolay Panchenko,
Which has shared idea with Paustovsky living in Taruse. Another
The version is more romantic: at the Kaluga publishing house supposedly
There were surpluses of a paper, and Panchenko has suggested to publish one more
Paustovsky's book. However venerable Konstantin Georgievich
Has magnanimously refused and has made the counter proposal: to give
Paper to young writers.
But anyway, namely in tarusskoj to the literary environment
- Here in due time created Tsvetaeva and Zabolotsky, and on a boundary
60th years lived Ariadna Efron, Jury Kazakov and many other things
Writers - have definitively developed a plan of the almanac and it
The literary and art concept.
Paustovsky, and main was the inspirer of the collection, of course,
sostavitelskuju the burden was incurred by the film writer, critic Nikolay
Otten and his wife, writer Elena Golysheva also living in
Taruse. Except them, in an editorial board the poet and artist Arcady has entered
Steinberg who has lodged in Taruse after returning from the Stalin
Camps.
It is now boring to retell tiresome history of persecutions on
Composers and authors of "Tarussky pages", struggle "Literary
Newspapers "which podspudno tried to support the almanac, and
Behaviour of the newspaper "the Literature and a life", smashing it. (In this
Communications are curious memoirs Okudzhavy on how was delighted
To collection exit one of the semi-official critics, exclaimed, that
On "Tarussky pages" it is possible to write the devastating article not reading,
Only on selection of names.) but the result is known: have dismissed the main thing
The editor of the Kaluga publishing house R.Levitu, and also the chief
Obllita
Ovchinnikova. To print circulation have stopped, and today "Tarussky
Pages "became a rare book - had time to let out
Only 30 thousand copies.
However, the destiny of "Tarussky pages" is not limited to history
Their creation and persecutions on them. With relentless sequence about
This almanac recollect during critical times - in such
Times of changes and hopes what was the period of issue of it
The collection. About "Tarussky pages" wrote to the first years much
Reorganisations. Again there was an interest to them and today, when after
Destructive decade of the Russian decline has again come
Time of hopes.
But, unlike reorganisation years, when
The literary-public life boiled mainly in capitals,
This time the courageous historical almanac have recollected not in Moscow,
And in a province - again in Taruse. Here solemnly and
Have emotionally noted the collection 40 anniversary, povspominali about the past,
Have talked about today's, including about reprinting of this
The rare nowadays books and even about prospects of its continuation in the new
Names to reflect spirit of new time.
Here, in a province, today it is especially clear
You feel, that calmed down was and almost died on a XX-th century decline
Literary-public life and in general the creative environment considerably
Have quickened, have started. Recently, on August, 31st, at the well-known
tsvetaevskogo a stone on the bank of Oka has been served moleben in connection with
The 60 anniversary from the date of б destruction in Elabuge Marina Tsvetaeva. All past
Summer proceeded in Taruse Richter's festival Svjatoslava, which
Once veins in Taruse, in him the capital have taken part many
Executors, and visitors was much. In picture gallery one for
Another there pass art exhibitions...
New times prove and in what attention the regional
The administration gives to revival of spiritual life Tarusy - after all
Under its initiative marked the 40 anniversary of "Tarussky pages". And
Means were for this purpose given NEW by "new Russian" - tourist
Firms "Okas-services" and "Tarusa - service" which have already constructed in
This ancient small town - on half a century is younger than Moscow - a mooring for
Walking steam-ships, motor boats and water motorcycles, and
Now quickly erect a camping and hotel.
And only one afflicts. Those who twenty years ago, on an outcome
Soviet times, prayed on Tsvetaeva and Zabolotsky, returned
These great names to Russian culture and under their "banner" has occupied
The first rows in a literary orchestra of reorganisation, have forgotten today
About former idols. Anybody from them has not arrived from Moscow pochtit memory
Tsvetaeva. And on the 40 anniversary of "Tarussky pages" from capital
There have arrived few visitors, though tarusjane as it is accepted to speak,
"Have organised transport" and someone invited personally. Most
Sad in that any of nowadays existing unions
Writers at all has not recollected such memorable literary date,
As the 40 anniversary of "Tarussky pages". Only the chairman of the Duma
Committee on N.Gubenko's culture has sent in Tarusu
The governmental telegramme with congratulations and wishes.
But, strangely enough, a certain weariness, forgetfulness of the capital
Literary lions and the lionesses burdened by television glory and
Awards "haute couture", something are in own way similar to a position
Directors of literary destinies of forty-year prescription, which
Tried to preserve convenient for them secretarial
The status quo.
