MY FATHERLAND - DONBASS!

The nightingales sang over the Donbass,
The winds blew with the smell of wormwood.
Like an eternal explanation in love
To your steppes, spacious and epic.

Donbass is my Fatherland, Donbass!
You have been tested for centuries on a fortress!
You showed your power more than once
The warmth of coal, the elastic brilliance of steel!

There are many beauties in the other regions,
But this region is dearer to us than all of them!
We are from Donbass, we are such a people,
Who will master everything and can do everything!

Donbass! My Fatherland is Donbass!
Mighty land of my native state!
For centuries this layer will not become scarce
Working Honor, Courage and Glory!

"My Donetsk region, my life ... My heart."

in the poems of poets-countrymen.

A great feeling of patriotism begins with love for one's land, one's city. Studying the past of their region, creating museums and expositions, local historians enrich and preserve national traditions. This work brings up love for the native land, forms in younger generation a sense of pride that our region is rich in important historical figures and most importantly - hardworking and talented people.

A reading competition dedicated to the poets of the Donetsk region was held in Amvrosievskaya school No. 4 as part of the month of patriotic education. Under the guidance of literature teachers Sobchuk L.A., Serdyuk L.I., Shirokolav V.G. students of grades 6-9 prepared excerpts from prose works and poems of poets of Donbass.

Merciless, Kostyria, Rybalko, Plyatskovsky, Gorbatov, Shutov…

And how many brilliant lines were signed by these names! Where did these terms come from and where do they go, leaving a mark on our souls? This is a great riddle, which, however, no one wants to solve - just some want to write poetry and prose, while others want to read them and find a response to their feelings in them.

The author of the famous lines “Donbass was never forced to its knees and no one was given to put it on its knees” Pavel Ivanov (Merciless- a pseudonym, which later became a surname - he stigmatized bourgeois in poems very harshly) was born in the Smolensk province. Then the family moved to our region. He published the collections “Stone Book”, “Mountain Flame”, “Cranes Are Flying Over the Mine”, “Miner's Poems”, “Donetsk Spaces” ... He helped a lot - both with advice and deed - to novice writers. Streets in Gorlovka and Donetsk are named after the famous countryman.

Yenakiyevets Mikhail Plyatskovsky at one time he worked in the local factory newspaper "For Metal". Described beauty native land, romanticized the work of the steel plant. And even then, the author of the future hits "Lada", "The roof of your house", "Mother's eyes", "In two winters", tried to sing his poems. Then he left to conquer Moscow. And conquered the entire Union.

Ivan Sergeevich Kostyria created his main works on Donetsk land. For eight years he worked as a doctor in Gorlovka, first as a pediatrician, then as a child psychiatrist. Finally, he plunged headlong into creativity. He gave us "The Tale of the Solar Brothers", "How the Beasts Gained Wit". And, of course, “Thoughts about Donbass”, where legends, miner's tales were intricately intertwined, there were real facts. It was Kostyria who initiated the letter to scientists, which resulted in the assignment of the name Donbass to the minor planet No. 19916, discovered in 1976.

Poet and prose writer, defender of Leningrad from invaders, and our heroes from oblivion, honorary citizen of Donetsk. All this - Viktor Shutov. He left us a rich legacy: collections of poems, novels, books for children, stories, essays about Donetsk. And, of course, songs about our region - "Lyrical Miner", "City of Blue Spoils", "Beloved Donbass", "Saur-Mogila". Thanks to his perseverance, fighting character, thirst for justice, the books "Death Faced", "Ordinary Undergrounds" and others appeared, revealing the truth about the activities of the Donetsk underground during the years of occupation. A street in Donetsk is named after Shutov, as well as a literary prize.

A front-line soldier who received three orders of the Red Star and lost his sight after being wounded in February 1945 at the Oder bridgehead - Nikolay Rybalko. Starting in the 1950s, he published 25 collections of poetry, becoming in 1968 the laureate of the Republican Komsomol Prize. Nikolai Ostrovsky (for "The Road to the Heights"), and in 1985 - the winner of the State Prize of Ukraine named after. Shevchenko (for the book "Unset Star"). The title of one of the collections, Through the Eyes of the Heart, explains why the poetry of Nikolai Alexandrovich was so popular (letters came to him from all over the USSR). Alexander Bilash's song to Rybalko's verses "I lived in such times" became the laureate of the All-Union television competition "Song-75

We also have creators of parallel realities and other worlds. Donchanin Fedor Berezin, who served as a missile officer in Kazakhstan, and then in the Far East, having retired to the reserve with the rank of captain, returned to hometown. He was an entrepreneur, a marketer. I took up writing 15 years ago. Yes, not jokingly - in 2001, he founded the Wanderer science fiction club in the capital of the region, and also took first place in international festival science fiction "Star Bridge" in the nomination "Best Debut" (for the novel "Ashes"). Berezin defines his genre as a "fantastic-philosophical techno-thriller". His books are printed by Moscow publishing houses.

My father's land, my native side, the land named Donbass, from the deepest depths of my heart I extract the most intimate words of confession of love for you. But no matter how magical the word has been from ancient Old Testament biblical times, what colors, sounds and energy it has carried in itself for many, many millennia of human history, all the same, I'm afraid, it is not able to fully express all the penetration of filial feelings. . After all, the image of Donbass is so many-sided, multi-dimensional and multi-colored, so majestic that it is really not easy to pay tribute to it with ordinary words.

To my father - Donbass

Merciless P.

You are my noisy

You are my smoky

I sing hymns to you.

You are my space

open to me,

You are my most famous.

You cut coal

You began to cook

You are my devoted friend.

Couples on the right

On the left, couples

Headlights shine along the longitudinal.

You are my brave

You are my brave

You took the fascist by the gills:

He won't scream

He doesn't peep

He's out of the habit of robbing!

You are my friend

You are my smoky

I sing hymns to you.

You are my space

open to me,

You are my famous father.

Shutov V.

Not beyond the seas, oceans -

In front of me is my globe of the earth,

From his destiny meridians,

With its working latitude.

My globe is a small planet,

Father's land - native Donbass

With his deeds unprecedented,

With his life - not for show.

In harmony with universal laws,

Without disturbing the course of the planets,

My land, heaving with heaps,

It takes heat and light from the bowels.


Ukrainian literature passed long haul development in order to reach the level that exists at the moment. Ukrainian writers have contributed throughout time since the 18th century in the works of Prokopovich and Hrushevsky and ending with modern works authors such as Shklyar and Andrukhovych. Literature has developed and enriched over the years. And it must be said that modern Ukrainian writers are very different from the authors who laid the foundation for Ukrainian literature. But one thing remained unchanged - the love of the native language.

19th century literature

In this century, Ukrainian literature acquired figures who glorified the country throughout the world with their works. With their works, Ukrainian writers of the 19th century showed the beauty of the language. It is this era that is considered the beginning of the formation of national thinking. The famous "Kobzar" became an open statement that the people are striving for independence. Ukrainian writers and poets of that time made a huge contribution both to the development of the language itself and dramaturgy. There are many different genres and trends in literature. These were novels, and stories, and short stories, and feuilletons. Most of the writers and poets took the direction of political activity. Schoolchildren study most of the authors in the school curriculum, reading works and trying to understand main idea each work. Analyzing each work separately, they take out the information that the author wanted to convey to them.

Taras Shevchenko

He is rightfully considered the founder of national literature and a symbol of the country's patriotic forces. Years of life - 1814-1861. The main work is considered to be "Kobzar", which glorified both the author and the people all over the world. Shevchenko wrote his works in Ukrainian, although there are several poems in Russian. the best creative years in the life of Shevchenko were the 40s, when, in addition to "Kobzar", the following works were published:

  • "Gaidamaki".
  • "Hire".
  • "Khustochka".
  • "Caucasus".
  • "Poplars".
  • "Katerina" and many others.

Shevchenko's works were criticized, but the Ukrainians liked the works and won their hearts forever. While in Russia he was received rather coldly, when he returned to his homeland, he always met with a warm welcome. Shevchenko later became a member of the Cyril and Methodius Society, to which other great Ukrainian writers belonged. It was the members of this society who were arrested for their political views and exiled.

The life of the poet was full of events, both joyful and mournful. But all his life he did not stop creating. Even when passing military service in the form of a recruit, he continued to work, and his work was saturated with love for the motherland.

Ivan Franko

Ivan Yakovlevich Franko is another bright representative literary activity that time. Years of life - 1856-1916. Writer, poet, scientist, he almost got Nobel Prize but an early death prevented him from doing so. The extraordinary personality of the writer causes many different statements, since it was he who was the founder of the Ukrainian radical party. Like many famous Ukrainian writers, in his works he revealed different problems that worried him at the time. So, in his works "Gritseva school science" and "Pencil" he shows the problems of school education.

It is worth noting that Franko was a member of the Russophile society, which existed at that time in Transcarpathia. During his membership, he wrote his works "Folk Song" and "Petria and Dovbuschuk". Frank's famous work is also his Ukrainian translation of Faust. For his activities in society, Ivan was arrested for nine months, which he spent in prison.

After his release from prison, the writer temporarily dropped out of the literary society, so he was ignored. But this did not break the poet. During the time that Franco spent in prison, and later, when he was released, he wrote many works that reveal human shortcomings and, conversely, show the breadth human soul. His work "Zakhar Berkut" received an award at the national competition.

Grigory Kvitka-Osnovyanenko

The years of the writer's life - 1778-1843. The main stage of his work falls precisely on the 19th century, it was during this period that he created most of his masterpieces. Being a very sickly boy, and blind until the age of six, creative way Gregory started only in his student years. He studied in Kharkov and it was there that he began to write and send his works to a magazine for publication. He wrote poetry and short stories. This was the beginning of his work. The real works that deserved attention were the stories written in the 30s in Ukrainian:

  • "Marusya".
  • "Konotop witch".
  • "Soldier portrait".
  • "Heart Oksana" and others.

Like other Ukrainian writers, Gregory also wrote in Russian, which is confirmed by the novel "Pan Kholyavsky". The author's works are distinguished by a beautiful literary style, simple expressions that are easily perceived by the reader. Kvitka-Osnovyanenko showed excellent knowledge of all aspects of the life of both a peasant and a nobleman, which can be observed in his novels. According to the story of Gregory, the play “Trouble in a County Town” was released, which was the predecessor of the famous “Inspector General”.

20th century literature

The Ukrainians distinguished themselves with their works due to the fact that many of them devoted their works to the Second World War. Ukrainian literature experienced a difficult period of development at that time. Partially banned, then studied at will, it has undergone many corrections and changes. But all this time, Ukrainian writers did not stop creating. Their works continued to appear and delight not only the Ukrainian reader, but also other connoisseurs of literary masterpieces.

Pavel Zagrebelny

Pavel Arkhipovich Zagrebelny is a writer of that time who made a huge contribution to literature. Years of his life - 1924-2009. Pavel's childhood passed in a village in the Poltava region. Then he studied at the artillery school and went to the front. After the war, he entered the university in the city of Dnepropetrovsk, and only there he began his career, publishing the collection "Kakhov's Stories" in the Rodina magazine. Among the works of the author there are such famous ones as:

  • "Steppe flowers".
  • "Europe, 45".
  • Southern Comfort.
  • "Wonder".
  • "I am Bogdan."
  • "Pervomost" and many others.

Anna Yablonskaya

Anna Grigoryevna Yablonskaya is another literary figure that I want to talk about. The years of the life of the writer - 1981-2011. Since childhood, the girl was fond of literature and dramaturgy. Firstly, her father was a journalist, wrote feuilletons, and it was largely because of him that she developed a passion for literature. Secondly, since school, Anna began to write poems and read them with pleasure from the stage. Over time, her works began to be published in Odessa magazines. In the same school years, Yablonskaya performed at the theater of Natalia Knyazeva in Odessa, who subsequently staged a play based on Yablonskaya's novel The Door. One of the most famous works the author, which Ukrainian writers talk about, was the play "Video Camera". In her works, Anna skillfully showed the pros and cons of society, combining different facets of family life, love and sex. At the same time, there was not a hint of vulgarity, and not a single work shocked the viewer.

Anna died very early as a result of a terrorist attack at Domodedovo Airport. She did not manage to do much, but what she managed to do left an indelible mark on the literature of that time.

Alexander Kopylenko

Alexander Ivanovich Kopylenko was born in the Kharkov region. Born 08/01/1900, died 12/1/1958. I have always striven for knowledge and learning. Before the revolution, he studied at the seminary, then traveled a lot, which gave him a lot of experience and impressions for further literary activity. Was in Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, Georgia. During the war of 1941-1945. He worked on the radio, where he conducted programs for partisan detachments. After that he became the editor of the Vsesvit magazine and worked closely with many directors, screenwriters and writers. His poems first saw the light in 1922. But most of all he wrote prose:

  • Kara Krucha.
  • "Rampant hop".
  • people".
  • "Solid Material" etc.

He also has children's works, such as:

  • "Very good".
  • "tenth graders".
  • "In the forest".

In his works, the writer wrote about many problems of that time, revealed various human weaknesses, covered historical events and battles of the times civil war. Kopylenko's works have been translated into many foreign languages peace.

Modern Ukrainian writers

Modern Ukrainian literature does not lag behind in terms of the number of prominent people. Nowadays, there are many authors whose works are worthy of being studied in schools and translated into different languages ​​of the world. We present you a list of far from all modern authors, but only the most popular ones. Their popularity was taken in accordance with the rating. To compile the rating, Ukrainians were interviewed, who were asked several questions about contemporary authors and their works. Here is the list:

Among the works of the author such works as:

Readers are well aware of his works "Elemental", "Key". His works have also been translated into different languages ​​of the world, and book lovers from different countries enjoy reading his prose.

Children's Ukrainian writers

Separately, it is worth talking about those writers and poets who create works for children. It is their books that children read with such pleasure in libraries.

That Donbass is the land of coal and metal.

Right. But for complete biography

It is very dry, very little.

Well, where are the people? They are not visible...

Method "microphone" Tell us about your countryman.

Sergey Shemuk

In August 1935, in one shift at the mine, Alexei Stakhanov managed to extract 102 tons of coal, at a rate of 7 tons. After 75 years in the city of Dzerzhinsk, Donetsk region, his record was broken with almost a double advantage. The author of the record is the famous miner of the Novodzerzhinsk mine Sergey Shemuk, who mined 170 tons of coal in one shift. In one working day, he exceeded the plan for the entire site, which usually employs about 20 people, and at the same time exceeded the production plan by 2023%. Sergey Shemuk is the youngest honored miner of Ukraine, as well as the Hero of Ukraine, full cavalier of the signs "Miner's Glory" and "Miner's Valor".

The strongest man

Dmitry Khaladzhi

Donetsk hero Dmitry Khaladzhi is one of the strongest people on the planet and the only person in Ukraine who can set five records in one hour. Khaladzhi can lift five pounds with one hand, performs a “cross” with weights on his little fingers and presses two weights in one hand. Khalaji's signature number is to tie a few 20-centimeter nails in a knot in a minute. One of the famous feats of Dmitry is overcoming the record of the ancient Greek athlete Bibon, who lifted a projectile weighing almost 144 kg with one hand. The projectile has survived to this day, but perhaps only Dmitry can lift it. Khalaji made his own projectile weighing 152 kg and lifted it with one hand, and twice - the second time for those who did not have time to photograph.
