Biographer's speeches: Valentin Grigoryevich Rasputin (1937) is one of the acknowledged masters of “village prose”, one of those who continue the traditions of Russian classical prose, primarily from the point of view of moral and philosophical problems. And again the word of the writer himself: “My childhood fell on the war and the hungry post-war years. It was not easy, but, as I now understand, it was happy. Having barely learned to walk, we hobbled to the river and threw fishing rods into it, not yet strong enough, pulled into the taiga, which began immediately behind the village, picked berries, mushrooms, from an early age got into a boat and independently took up the oars to row to the islands, where mowed hay, then again went to the forest - most of our joys and our activities were connected with the river and the taiga. It was she, the river known to the whole world, about which legends and songs were composed.

Presenter: V. Rasputin is one of a galaxy of writers who can disturb the souls of young readers, convey to them their human, civil pain for the earth, for the person on it, for what is happening. To understand the thoughts, feelings, worries of the writer, it is important to know about the origins of his life.

Motherland, like parents, is not chosen, it is given to us at birth and absorbed from childhood.

For each of us, this is the center of the Earth, regardless of whether it is a big city or a small village. Over the years, becoming older and living out our destiny, we attach more and more new lands to this center, we can change our place of residence and move ... But the center is still there, in our “small” homeland. It cannot be changed.

The “small” homeland gives us much more than we are able to realize. The nature of the native land is minted in our souls forever. For example, when I experience something like a prayer, I see myself on the shore of the old Angara, which is now gone, near my native Atalanka, the island opposite and the sun setting behind the other shore. Rasputin himself is sure that from birth we all absorb the pictures of our Motherland.

... I have seen a lot of beauties in my life, man-made and not made by hands, but I will also die with this picture, which is dearer and closer to me. I believe that she played an important role in my writing business: once, at an unmarked moment, I went to the Angara and was stunned - from the beauty that entered me, I was stunned from the conscious and material feeling of the homeland that emerged from it.

Stanislav Kunyaev's poetic response to "Farewell to Matera".

Valentin Rasputin

At home, as in space, do not count
Fire and forest, stone and space,
You can’t fit everything, is it because there is
Each of us has his own Matera,
Own Eye, where the chill pulls
On the pre-winter day from thickened moisture,
Where under the foot the sand still crunches
Coarse-grained and frosty…
Farewell, Matera! To be or not to be
To you in the coming human life -
We can't decide, but we can't stop loving
Your fate is unfathomable things.
I know that the people are boundless,
What is in it, as in the sea, light or turbidity,
Alas, do not count ... Let there be ice drift,
May there be others after us!
Goodbye Matera, my pain, goodbye
I'm sorry that there are not enough cherished words,
To say all that, over the edge
Shimmering, melting in the blue abyss ...

The literary critic is talking about the story “Farewell to Matera”.

What are the common human problems in this story? (About conscience, about eternal values, about the motherland, about the meaning of human life)

Consultant:

The death of Matera is a difficult time for many of the villagers. A difficult time is a time of testing a person. How does a writer figure out who is who?

Through relation to native land, to the "small" homeland.

And to the native hut, and to the graves too! Through the attitude to the native graves of both the inhabitants and the authorities, for whom these graves mean nothing.

Is Matera flooding necessary? For whom, for what is this being done?

It's necessary. Hydroelectric power stations are being built for the benefit of people. For the sake of the same mothers and maybe thousands and millions more. How many more such Maters are still without light!

Moderator: V.G. Rasputin. The Russian writer is a prophet, citizen, teacher and conscience of the nation. He had the main questions: “Who is to blame?” "What to do?" “When will the real day come?” “What is happening to us?”

Here are the statements of V. Rasputin

• His thoughts and beliefs and feelings. About the Russian people:“How I would like to call for the old moral rule: I must not act badly, for I am Russian. Someday, let's hope, the Russian people will raise these words to their main life principle and make them a national guide.
• About Orthodoxy:“We are being torn away from faith – we will not be torn off. The soul of a Russian person found its feat and its refuge in Orthodoxy, and only there we will find it for redemptive and saving labors, only there we will unite in our temporary and eternal calling, and not in lecherous adventures in the backyards of other people's interpretations and religions.
• On internationalism:“I am for that internationalism in which, without interfering each other, but only complementing, there will be a coloring of all nations. The concept of "nationalism" is deliberately slandered. It should be judged not by extremes and foolishness, which cannot be avoided in any healthy idea, but by the core and moral and spiritual principles.
• On citizenship:“For some reason, it has become accepted to believe that a citizen is certainly a rebel, a subverter, a nihilist, a person who tears his fusion with the domestic structure of the soul.
  And if he is tearing, not accepting, hating - what kind of citizen is he, excuse me?! The position characteristic of a citizen should be with a plus sign, not a minus one. It should be creative, transformative for the better, house-building in nature, have filial, and not prosecutorial duties.”
• On the system: “I would not decisively give preference to any one system - capitalism or socialism. The point is not in names, not in designations, they can be conditional, but in their content, in filling, in the flexible combination of their best sides, in what is more in line with the economic “figure” of the people. Resolutely changing “clothes” in such cases is a dangerous occupation.
• About human rights:“In fact, the substitution is truly diabolical: human rights have become a denial of the rights of the people, and a person with rights is, of course, not an ordinary person, but either a boor from television, or a rogue the size of Chubais and Abramovich, around whom herds of lawyers graze” .

These statements of the writer refer to different years of the post-Soviet period, starting from 1991. For 15 years now, the writer has wanted to reach out to our hearts, wants to be heard.

And we don't hear. Or maybe we should all listen and read the words of our fellow countryman, an Irkutsk citizen, a true citizen of our Fatherland. Maybe something will see clearly in our souls, and we will gain human memory and turn our faces not to the momentary hustle and bustle of every day, but remember that we are also citizens of this of us. Much depends on the fate of our country. And, maybe, in our destinies will change...

Literary critic:

The story "Live and Remember" was written in 1974 and was born from the contact of the writer's experiences in childhood with his current thoughts about the village during the war years. It was hard and hard for everyone - both at the front and in the rear. Simply and casually, the writer tells about the price of betrayal. Betrayal, which grew out of small concessions to conscience, duty, honor. Having ruined himself, Andrei Guskov ruins the dearest and most beloved people.

Critic:

And what was reprehensible in the fact that Guskov, after being seriously injured, desperately wanted to return to his homeland at least for a short while, just to look at his Atamanovka, to press Nastena to his chest, to have a chat with the old people?

Consultant:

But after all there was a war and it established the rigid laws. The writer does not at all betray the fugitive to the court-martial, on the contrary, external circumstances even favor the hero of the story. He did not meet any patrols, no checks, there were no picky questions.

But having avoided the tribunal, Guskov still did not leave the court. This judgment may be more severe. Court of conscience. He himself turned himself into an outcast, not appearing either alive or dead, Andrey Guskov wanders around his native district, gradually losing his human appearance.

Having betrayed his soldier's duty, Guskov betrayed not only himself, but also his wife, whom he excommunicated from the village and from the people.

Rasputin's Guskov is not so much a weak man as a selfish one. Nastena, on the contrary, is whole, pure, disinterested nature. And there is a cruel injustice in the fact that the wonderful qualities of the heroine are wasted, for an insignificant goal - for Guskov.

Having given the Motherland, Guskov betrays the person closest to him.

Desperate to find a way out of the stupid impasse, Nastena rushes into the icy waters of the Angara. For Valentin Rasputin, the philosophy of forgiveness is unacceptable.

This is a tragic and lofty moral lesson for present and future generations.

Literary critic:

V. Rasputin's story "Ivan's daughter, Ivan's mother".

Consultant:

Let's all together try to answer the question: what is the truth of Rasputin's last story?

Some will consider the main and important murder - revenge for the abuse of a young girl. But if this is the main thing, why does Rasputin, unlike many contemporary authors, describe neither scenes of violence nor scenes of murder? Others - to show the truth about the status quo for the new masters of life. And yet, no matter how hard we struggle over the question of what is the main thing in the story, we cannot find an unequivocal answer - not a single answer can contain the fullness of the writer's truth.

Upon careful reading of the story, we will see that Tamara Ivanovna decided on her own justice only after she felt, realized that she was able to accept a bribe. The heroine realized that it is impossible to rely on our justice, that the right is far from the truth. Tamara Ivanovna is the person who, with her whole life and her decisive deed, testifies to the need and opportunity to remain human. The author's understanding of the truth is the truth of the people: they talk about Tamara Ivanovna in the city as a heroine, “in the colony she enjoys authority ...”

Ivan's daughter, Ivan's mother has the power to defend her truth, has the power to take her daughter's misfortune into her heart, to direct her son on the right path, and this is her truth and her greatness.

It is impossible to agree with the glorification of the heroine of Tamara Ivanovna's story, it is impossible to justify the shot.

If, according to the logic of the story, all the troubles are from the market, from huckstering, from corruption - and violence is committed in its backyards - and “justice” is in the same place, then why didn’t the smart and strong-willed mother save her daughter earlier? Why did she allow me to leave the school, which she did not believe. Why did you let me into the market, didn't help me look for another profession? The mother is fighting for the future - but why didn't she protect it earlier? Why doesn’t he think about how to resurrect his daughter’s soul, but, going to prison, leaves him alone with himself ...

In addition, the image of Ivan's son is not entirely convincing. In most examples, in my opinion, it goes simple, the easy way and is he excited about how the fate of his mother, Tamara Ivanovna, will turn out, will he be able to console his sister? If you carefully analyze Ivan's actions, you will see that he has no will to do good, but only reasoning. And he goes to work not in a school where he is needed, but where it is too difficult, but chooses an easier path.

The lessons of conscience and truth showed that many of our students also found cherished words to express their attitude to the work of V. Rasputin. Evidence of this is their recognition: “Rasputin is dear and close to me, because in his works he describes human feelings and spiritual qualities that I really appreciate in people. Everything that I read from him is permeated with love for ordinary people with their sometimes difficult fate”; “Rasputin writes about our life today, explores it from the depths, awakens the thought, makes the soul work”; “The story of Rasputin makes you think about every word. He writes simply, but at the same time deeply and seriously. He is an excellent psychologist and artist. I clearly imagine the pictures of life he created, I worry, I worry about the fate of people. I'm going to re-read his stories. I am sure that I will discover something new for myself”

Sl.2. Life and work of V. Rasputin.

I remember from birth to live -
Not a lot, not a little - two words.

Two words are the basis of all life.

2017 marks the 80th anniversary of the birth of V. G. Rasputin. The largest Russian writer of our time, Valentin Rasputin, argued that literature is the chronicle of the people. He strictly and non-vainly kept this chronicle, experienced and talked about the tragic turns of Russian history. Rasputin wrote simply, without pretentiousness, without trying to please anyone. He does not have many works, but each has become an event.

The biography of the writer is simple, but the spiritual experience is rich, unique, inexhaustible and helps to understand where such a powerful talent came from, which sparkled with the brightest facets.

Sl.3.

The first story "I forgot to ask Alyoshka ..." appeared in 1961 and immediately attracted attention with the sincerity and shrillness of the word. Critics admired the beauty of Rasputin's language, careful attitude to the characters, subtle psychologism. The direction "village prose", which took shape in the 1960s - 1970s, got its name from the light hand of Alexander Tvardovsky, editor-in-chief of the magazine " New world". Valentin Rasputin was a junior representative of this powerful movement, to which Viktor Astafiev, Vasily Shukshin, Fedor Abramov, Vladimir Soloukhin, Boris Mozhaev, Vladimir Chivilikhin belonged.

Sl.4.

Rasputin's books became a phenomenon not only in literature, but also in public life. In 2000, the writer became the winner of the Solzhenitsyn Prize "for the poignant expression of poetry and the tragedy of folk life."

Sl.7.

O Rus' - raspberry field

And the blue that fell into the river...

On which of these paths are small

Tie a memory knot

Why doesn't she forget me?

Like, pulling a blade of grass in your hand,

I sat on the sand on Sunday,

And I absorbed the rustle of herbs into myself,

So that the trees remember me

How slowly he walked between them

I'm on the slope of the fading day

Like looking at seagulls by the bay.

On which of the roads

Maybe scarlet on the sunset beam -

Tie a memory knot

So that the earth does not forget me?

In one of his interviews, Valentin Grigoryevich Rasputin said: “Earth is the last thing we still have ... There is nothing more precious for a person than land and water. Wherever we were born and raised, we come from that and from what our native water and land gives us. In everything - in appearance, speech, habits, and so on. Love for song, verse, our soul - everything is from our land.

And Valentin Grigorievich himself is the best confirmation of these words. He is flesh from the flesh of the Russian land and his soul is from our land. Apparently, that's why she hurts with irrepressible pain in every line of his works, because she is connected by thousands of the strongest threads with her homeland and with her people.

Sl.8. Quote by V. Rasputin

"It's one thing to have a mess around, and quite another to have a mess inside of you."

“Oh, how difficult and honorable it is to be a writer in Rus'! By this. He always hurts the most. He is doomed from eternity to torment and a feat of spirit, to a conscience that seeks goodness, to an eternal striving for an ideal. And, burning himself in the throes of creativity, in the struggle with the word and for the word, he is doomed to suffer more than anyone and for everyone living on earth, ”said Viktor Astafiev about Rasputin.

Sl.9.

Russian land ... crane wedge

Will take you to the world of your epics …

Apple trees - the Grail of the bowl,
To the god of candles - poplars.
It is seen! - there is no more beautiful prayer:
The earth is resounding.

Each exhalation is a "Symbol of Faith"
Every breath is like "Our Father".
The sky is damp, the field is gray,
But for them, you will give your whole life.

So it draws to fresh arable land -
Dive into the palm of your hand.
He will return a hundredfold what you give her, -
Only touch without resentment.

“Literature is the chronicle of the people, vernacular writing,” says the writer himself. V. G. Rasputin devoted his whole life to this folk writing, the annals of the Russian people. We look at his books as if in a mirror, peering into our features, trying to understand what we have lost and what we have become. “It seems that he wrote all his books so that we could look into what happened. What was called a Russian man, ”said Rasputin about the work literary critic Valentin Kurbatov.

In 2012, Valentin Grigorievich turned 75 years old. The writer himself, like a real Russian person, is modest: “Not much has been done. After all, during the years that I worked, it was possible to do five or ten times more. I will probably write more prose. But I want to speak briefly and most importantly.

However, since its inception creative activity enough years have passed for us to understand what a huge significance his books and even just his presence next to us have for all of us - for those who love Russia

DC 10 . Quote from V. Rasputin's book. "Tale". (as background for independent reading)

Truth in memory. He who has no memory has no life.

Now it's time to show the best qualities of a Russian person: the ability to work, the ability to stand up for oneself, to understand what is happening in the country, and to defend, when necessary, one's homeland. These are the first qualities of Russians. If they do not have them, I still fire such people.

We cannot live with our eyes closed. The Russians should be well aware of what kind of force is now acting against Russia all over the world and what can be expected from their “friends”, who may turn out to be more dangerous than enemies.”

Sl.11. Native town.

Province, small town...

heavy strange life -

I thought, passing under those windows,

What in the world can not be found more majestic

Cities where the towers would be the same,

Cities where we would be the same.

Under the carved under those shedding laces

Heartfelt song of my old people...

Now I'm far away, behind Moscow, Moscow,

You are now far away from me, far away.

Valentin Grigoryevich Rasputin was born on March 15, 1937 in the village of Ust-Uda, East Siberian (now Irkutsk) Region in peasant family. The village in which the future writer spent his childhood subsequently fell into the flood zone after the construction of the Bratsk hydroelectric power station (the event inspired Rasputin's story "Farewell to Matyora", 1976).

Sl.12. Family. Small home.

The writer was born in the family of a young worker of the regional consumer union from the district settlement of Ust-Uda, located on the banks of the Angara River, halfway between Irkutsk and Bratsk. Valentin Grigorievich Rasputin said:

“I was born three hundred kilometers from Irkutsk, in Ust-Uda, on the Angara. So I am a native Siberian, or, as we say, local. My father was a peasant, worked in a timber industry enterprise, served and fought ... In a word, he was like everyone else. Mother worked, was a housewife, barely managed her affairs and family - as far as I remember, she always had enough worries ”(“ Questions of Literature ”, 1976, No. 9).

Soon the family moved to the village of Atalanka. His father was in charge of the post office, his mother worked in a savings bank. This place remained forever in the memory of the writer, settled in his heart and became the prototype of many, many Siberian villages that appeared on the pages of his works - "Farewell to Matyora", "Deadline", "Live and Remember" - sometimes almost under his own name : Atanovka.

The power and spaciousness of Siberian nature, the amazing feeling of delight caused by it, became the continental plate on which the soil of Rasputin's prose grew, which so amazes us with its heartfelt descriptions of both Siberia - the taiga, the Angara and, of course, Baikal - and the people who inhabit it. , whose prototypes were the inhabitants of Atalanka and other Siberian villages.

The river, the prototype of which was the Angara, both as a symbol and as a real geographical object, became for V. Rasputin the main attribute of his works. “I believe that she also played an important role in my writing business: once, at an unmarked minute, I went to the Angara and was stunned - and I was stunned from the beauty that entered me, as well as from the conscious and material feeling of the Motherland that emerged from it,” he recalled.

The fellow villagers who surrounded the writer in childhood played no less a role than nature in shaping Rasputin's worldview, his beliefs, views, and character.

The fact that the “environment” surrounded the child and affected his soul is evidenced by such an episode, which Rasputin himself tells about: “Father worked as a postmaster, there was a shortage. He rode on a steamboat to pay some transfers, pensions, etc. He drank, apparently, drank decently, they cut off his bag, where the money was. The money is small, but then for this small money they were given long terms. They took my father away, and at our house - an inventory of property. What property after the war? Benches-stools. But even this was subject to description and confiscation. The whole village took to their huts everything that we had, when they came to describe, there was absolutely nothing to describe. They wrote something there and left. Then the village brought us even more than it took. That's what the relationship was like. They survived together, otherwise it would not have survived. ”

This is how the understanding of the community, the community, as the first and main condition for the survival of not only an individual, but the entire Russian people, arose.

In order to get a secondary education, he was forced to go alone 50 km from home to the city (the famous story “French Lessons”, 1973, would later be created about this period).

Sl.13. Quote from V. Rasputin's book "Farewell to the mother" (as background for independent reading)

“How little, it turns out, in a man of his, given to him from birth, and how much is in him from fate, from where he has arrived today and what he has brought with him.”

The Atalan school was a four-year school, and in order to continue his education, the child had to go to Ust-Uda, fifty kilometers from his home. It was impossible to go to such a distance every day for classes and there was nothing to do. But I wanted to learn. As V. Rasputin later wrote, “before that, no one from our village had studied in the region. I was first." By that time, the future writer had become not only the most literate student in the school, but also a person in the village - fellow villagers often turned to him for help.

It was decided: to move to Ust-Uda, to live there, away from the family, alone. “So, at the age of eleven, my independent life. Hunger that year has not yet let go ... ”, writes Rasputin.

Once a week, bread and potatoes were handed over from the house, which ended unexpectedly quickly each time. Always wanted to eat. And he had to study, and study perfectly, otherwise he did not know how: “What was left for me? - then I came here, I had no other business here ... I would hardly have dared to go to school, if at least one lesson had not been learned from me.

V. Rasputin graduated from the Ust-Uda secondary school in 1954, in his certificate there were only fives. In the same year, having successfully passed the entrance exams, he became a first-year student at the Faculty of History and Philology of Irkutsk State University.

Sl.14. military childhood.

I will accept unheard, imperishable
news from the war...

We are the hungry children of war
With gunpowder-burnt souls.
We had cake and lunch and dinner,
But now we have no price ....
The road that the Motherland has traveled,
It was just our way.

His early childhood coincided with the Great Patriotic War. Life became difficult and half-starved, characteristic of millions of teenagers in the post-war country: “We lived with my grandmother in the same house, we lived together, albeit poorly. There was a cow. The taiga and the river rescued. I didn't sit at home. If not at school, then I immediately run either to the river or to the forest. “The bread of childhood was difficult,” the writer recalled many years later. But the difficult time gave no less important than school lessons, fundamental to the work of V. Rasputin. According to the writer, "it was a time of extreme manifestation of human community, when people held together against big and small troubles." Those relationships between people that he observed in childhood will determine in the future how the writer poses and resolves moral and social issues in his works. The boy came to the first grade of the Atalan elementary school in 1944.

Sl.15. Quote from V. Rasputin's book "Deadline" (as background for independent reading)

It is not true that there is one death for all people - a bony, like a skeleton, evil old woman with a scythe over her shoulders. Someone came up with this to scare kids and fools. The old woman believed that each person has his own death, created in his image and likeness, exactly like him.

The war did not prevent Rasputin from doing well at school and from reading, reading, reading. He read everything that fell into his hands: books, magazines, newspapers. Reading has become since then and forever a way of life, work on oneself, participation, cooperation in the work that the author is doing.

One of the main themes of world literature is the theme of life and death. But in Rasputin it becomes an independent plot. The death of a person in his works prompts other people to think about whether they live with dignity, whether they will live their own lives in vain, whether they are mired in unnecessary fuss and petty, selfish desires. ("Live and Remember")

Sl.16. Perestroika times.

That's why I'm tormented that I don't understand -
Where the rock of events takes us...

Trapped in your luck

Timelessness is the executioner

Through darkness and pain and crying

Rejoices.

With a broken head

With an empty smile,

My spirit, let it not be its own,

Rebels.

There is a light ahead

The poet comes to him

Bears a covenant of love,

Like a banner.

Everything will be ahead:

Sun and rain...

After all, the heart is still in the chest -

Not a stone.

There were no thoughts about the writing field yet, and Rasputin the student, preparing to become a teacher, studied a lot and read a lot.

Here, in Irkutsk, his love for his small Motherland, for the river, on the banks of which he grew up, was already consciously manifested. Then, in the essay “Downstream and Upstream”, Rasputin will describe how in his student years he traveled home from Irkutsk on a steamboat more than once, walked along his native Angara, and all those four hundred kilometers that separated his house from the capital of Eastern Siberia, enjoyed the soul : “These trips were always a holiday for him, about which he began to dream since the winter and for which he prepared with all possible care: he saved up money, snatching rubles from a skinny scholarship.

On March 30, 1957, the first publication of Valentin Rasputin appeared in it - “There is absolutely no time to be bored”. Since then, journalism long years became his calling. The Soviet Youth publishes his articles about student life, about the pioneers, about the school, and the work of the police. Sometimes Rasputin signs with the pseudonym "R. Valentinov" or "V. Cairo", but more often publishes works under his own name. Even before graduating from university, he was hired by the staff of the newspaper. Gradually, Rasputin became more and more interested in artistic prose. As a result, in 1961, the first story by Valentin Rasputin "I forgot to ask Leshka ..." appeared in the Angara anthology (No. 1). The story began as a sketch after one of Rasputin's trips to the timber industry. But, as we later learn from the writer himself, “the essay did not work out - the story turned out. In the first half of the 60s, V. Rasputin worked as an editor of literary and dramatic programs of the Irkutsk television studio, a literary employee of the Krasnoyarsky Rabochiy newspaper, a special correspondent for the Krasnoyarsky Komsomolets newspaper, wrote stories and essays about young participants in the great construction projects in Siberia.

In 1965, an event took place that determined the future of the young writer: he takes part in the Chita zonal seminar for novice writers.

The writer manages to convey the intensity of human passions. His heroes are woven from the traits of a national character - wise, flexible, sometimes rebellious, from diligence, from being itself. They are popular, recognizable, live next to us, and therefore are so close and understandable.

Sl. 17. Work during the restructuring

Increasingly, his heroes become outwardly simple people with a far from easy inner world(“They come to the Sayans with backpacks”). It is difficult for such people to understand why people are at war (“The song continues”), where the separation of nature and man comes from (“From the sun to the sun”), for them the most important thing in life is spiritual communication (“Traces remain in the snow”). More and more of the author is visible in the work of Rasputin, the departure from journalism to fiction and psychologism is more and more noticeable (“Edges near the sky itself”, “A person from this world”, “Mom has gone somewhere”). In 1967, V. Rasputin was admitted to the Writers' Union of the USSR. At the same time, Valentin Grigoryevich became one of the initiators of the campaign to save Lake Baikal from the runoff of the Baikal Pulp and Paper Mill, and then actively opposed the project to turn the northern and Siberian rivers (the project was canceled in July 1987).

Rasputin's favorite heroes - elderly, conscientious people - are trying to comprehend the new cruel reality, which seems terrible and tragic to them. Years of perestroika, market relations and timelessness have shifted the threshold moral values. People are looking for and evaluate themselves in a difficult modern world.

They are few, with an experienced soul,

Who remained strong in pitching.

And one of those who survived the pitching of the general confusion and vacillation of the last two decades is Valentin Grigoryevich Rasputin. He is one of those people who, according to A. I. Solzhenitsyn, produced at the turn of the 70s of the XX century “a silent coup without a revolt, without a shadow of a dissident challenge”:

“Without overthrowing or blowing up anything declaratively, a large group of writers began to write as if no “socialist realism” had been declared and dictated, neutralizing it, they began to write in simplicity, ... The first among them was Valentin Rasputin.”

Sl.18. Quote from V. Rasputin's book "Ivan's Daughter, Ivan's Mother". (as background for independent reading)

Valentin Grigorievich also found himself at a crossroads. He writes little, because there are times when the artist's silence is more disturbing and creative than words. This is the whole of Rasputin, because he is still extremely demanding of himself. Especially at a time when new Russian bourgeois, brothers and oligarchs emerged as "heroes".

In 1986, Rasputin was elected Secretary of the Board of the Union of Writers of the USSR and Secretary of the Board of the Union of Writers of the RSFSR. With the beginning of Perestroika, V. G. Rasputin became involved in extensive social and political activities. In 1987, the writer was awarded the title of Hero of Socialist Labor, and in 1989 V. G. Rasputin was elected a People's Deputy of the USSR. He was a member of the Committee of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on Ecology and Rational Use of Natural Resources, a member of the Credentials Commission of the Congress of People's Deputies of the USSR. “My journey to power ended in nothing. It was completely in vain ... I remember with shame why I went there. My premonition deceived me. It seemed to me that there were still years of struggle ahead, but it turned out that there were some months left before the collapse. I was like a free app that wasn't even allowed to talk."

During the presidential elections in Russia in June 1991, he was a confidant of N. Ryzhkov.

V. G. Rasputin took a consistent anti-liberal position, he signed, in particular, an anti-perestroika letter condemning the Ogonyok magazine (Pravda, 01/18/1989). The winged formula of counter-perestroika was P. A. Stolypin’s phrase quoted by V. Rasputin in his speech at the First Congress of People’s Deputies of the USSR: “You need great upheavals - we need Great Russia.”

Sl.19.

And we will save you, Russian speech,
Great Russian word.

I don't need the last word.

Russian will be spoken.

He is one of ours - the last great

Covers safely waste.

Not icons, but books, like faces,

Remain on the shelves of heights.

What do you want me to say...

... With the ancient word, we are merged with the future.

Humanity is our student.

Our reading circle is the earth's orbit.

Our Motherland is the Russian language.

On May 4, 2000, V. G. Rasputin was awarded the A. Solzhenitsyn Prize. Alexander Isaevich, in his speech written on this occasion, noted character traits literary creativity Rasputin:

“... in everything written, Rasputin exists, as it were, not by itself, but in an undivided fusion:

- with Russian nature and with the Russian language.

Nature for him is not a chain of pictures, not material for metaphors - the writer naturally lives with her, is saturated with her as part of her. He does not describe nature, but speaks with her voice, conveys it internally, there are many examples of this, they cannot be given here. A precious quality, especially for us, who are increasingly losing their life-giving connection with nature.

Likewise, with language. Rasputin is not a user of language, but himself a living, involuntary stream of language. He does not look for words, does not pick them up - he flows with them in one stream. The volume of his Russian language is rare among contemporary writers. In the Dictionary of Language Expansion, I could not include even a fortieth part of his bright, well-aimed words from Rasputin.

Plots attract life truth. Rasputin preferred convincing brevity. But at the same time, how rich and unique is the speech of his heroes (“some kind of secret girl, quiet”), the poetry of nature (“tight snows, taken in crust, tinkled from the first icicles, we first melted the air”). The language of Rasputin's works flows like a river, replete with wonderful-sounding words. Every line is a storehouse of Russian literature, speech lace.

Sl.20 Quote from V. Rasputin's book "Fire" (as background for independent reading)

To understand each other, many words are not needed. It takes a lot to not understand

The stories of V. Rasputin differ from other works in that they contain the main movement of the author's soul, in which the whole vast world of Russia and the Russian village fits. The author focuses on topical, sore universal problems of his era.

Sl.21. Female images of V. Rasputin.

There is a divine power in a Russian woman:

Russian woman - the world in admiration,
The eternal mystery - cannot be unraveled.
Russian woman, just for a moment,
Give a glance, so you will suffer.

Russian woman is glorious, tender,
It was like she came from a dream.
A Russian woman is a boundless field.
Such beauty hurts my eyes!

Russian woman - favorite song.
No matter how much you listen, the soul trembles.
Russian woman, unique.
Do not explain how you are good!

The image of a woman in Russian literature is always suffering. You rarely find a heroine happy and internally independent. But there is a depth of soul. And Rasputin female images expressed deeply and subtly at the same time. Such rustic madonnas. The writer conveys expressively their moods (gloomy, piercing) (Farewell to Matera). Women are in the center of the story. Because only a Russian woman keeps our spirituality and faith. In the works of Rasputin, the woman is no longer Chekhov's Darling, but also not a free person. The theme of emancipation is played by the author skillfully and subtly. After all we are talking not about external freedom, but about internal freedom - about the courage to remain oneself. And in this regard, Rasputin's women are much happier than their heroines of other authors. They have something to serve: traditions, the Russian way of life, the idea of ​​sacrifice and self-giving, without which a Russian woman cannot be imagined at all. They have something to lose: roots, historical and cultural ties, the land to which they are rooted in body and soul. After all, in an era of disasters, wars and catastrophes, it is the woman who is always the victim. For her, victory is comfort in the house, peace, children and husband nearby, bread on the table and confidence in the future.

All the images of Rasputin's heroines tell us about the inexhaustible mental and physical reserves of a Russian woman. On a woman is the salvation and consolation of men and the fatherland. No wonder the Russian land is compared with a woman! The world of the writer's works is a literary oasis for women - heroines. Where she is treated with respect and warmth. Therefore, the heroines of V. Rasputin cannot live without love! How else?! And Rasputin's heroines ask the reader only for understanding. After all, women are our future!

Sl.22. Quote from V. Rasputin's book "Live and Remember" (as background for independent reading)

I would, perhaps, want a different fate for myself, but others have a different one, and this one is mine. And I won't regret it."

“And what will happen here in a hundred years, on this earth? What cities will stand? What houses? faces? What faces will people have? No, you tell me what you live for? - such questions are asked by the heroes of Rasputin's famous story "Farewell to Matyora", but behind them, of course, the author himself is visible, for whom the question of the future of each person, and the future of all mankind, is one of the most important.

Many people who know him speak of the writer's prophetic gift. “Rasputin is one of those seers to whom layers of being are revealed that are not accessible to everyone, and are not called by him in direct words,” Alexander Solzhenitsyn noted. “Rasputin has always been a bit of a mystical writer,” critics wrote. And this is not surprising, if we remember that more than twenty years ago it was Valentin Grigorievich who was one of the few who foresaw the collapse of the USSR and its tragic consequences.

And - always love the Motherland, increase its glory with your deeds. So says the poet.”… Writer…., citizen…

Sl.24. Valentin Rasputin as a writer.

Valentin Grigorievich is a faithful son of the Russian land, a defender of its honor. His talent is akin to a holy spring that can quench the thirst of millions of Russians.

Living in unity with nature, the writer still deeply and sincerely loves Russia and believes that her strength will be enough for the spiritual rebirth of the nation. Each work of Rasputin speaks about the main thing. It is read not only in Russia, but also in France, Spain, China... The album of essays "Siberia, Siberia" is the most widely read Russian book in America. Valentin Rasputin is called "the troubled conscience of the Russian village." But Valentin Rasputin does not know and does not want to know how to live without conscience.

Sl. 25. Quote from V. Rasputin's book "In Search of the Shore"(as background for independent reading)

Today's provocative shamelessness of literature does not count, it will pass as soon as the reader demands respect.

It is no secret for the writer and who put the country on the brink of collapse. The lack of spirituality, atheism, and cynicism of the liberal intelligentsia, which is shaking the common boat for the sake of their personal ambitions, have led to the fact that outright criminals and outlaws have already seized power. The salvation of Russia depends on each of us, the writer convinces, we must change morally, be spiritually reborn in order for the country to be reborn. What was said 20 years ago has not lost its relevance today.

Our descendants will live better than us and our ancestors, provided that we prepare good soil ... Our people are the kindest people. He is worldly wise, industrious, he has a craving for holiness. But far from all Russians were and are believers. Our soul was "squandered" for a long time and in different ways. Her maturation was interrupted. To get rid of unbelief - this must be helped both by literature and by our entire Orthodox culture. But even this is not enough. We must all become nationally educated, enlightened and educated. We must put up a barrier to ignorance, strengthen our natural mind with science ... ”(Eight days with Valentin Rasputin). Faith in Russia and in his people never left Valentin Rasputin.

The state of soul of his heroes is a special world, the depth of which is subject only to the talent of the Master. Following the author, we plunge into the whirlpool of life events of his characters, imbued with their thoughts, follow the logic of their actions. We can argue with them and disagree, but we cannot remain indifferent. So this harsh truth of life takes over the soul. There are still whirlpools among the writer's heroes, there are almost blissful people, but at the core they are powerful Russian characters, which are akin to the freedom-loving Angara with its rapids, zigzags, smooth expanse and dashing agility.

The name of Valentin Rasputin will be given to a school in Bratsk.

In 2015, the name of Valentin Rasputin was given to the Baikal international festival popular science and documentary films "Man and Nature".

Sl.27. Literary heritage of V. Rasputin.

“Valentin Grigoryevich Rasputin is one of the central figures in the literary process of the second half of the 20th century. As S. P. Zalygin wrote, “Valentin Rasputin entered our literature immediately, almost without a run-up and as a true master of the artistic word, and to repeat that his works are significant, that, bypassing them, today it is no longer possible to seriously talk about the current Russian and all Soviet prose, there is obviously no need.

The thread of generations cannot, must not be interrupted by "Ivans who do not remember kinship." The richest Russian culture rests on traditions and foundations.

Alexander Ivanovich Kuprin has a story "The River of Life". Its hero, a suicidal student, reflects before his death:

“Ah, I think that nothing in the world is wasted—nothing! - not only what was said, but also thought. All our deeds, words and thoughts are streams, thin underground springs. It seems to me, I see how they meet, merge into springs, seep up, flow into rivers - and now they are rushing wildly and widely in the irresistible River of life. The river of life - how huge it is! It will wash everything away sooner or later, it will demolish all the strongholds that have fettered the freedom of the spirit. And where there used to be a shoal of vulgarity, there will be the greatest depth of heroism. Right now she will carry me away into an incomprehensible, cold distance, and maybe not later than a year later she will pour over this entire huge city, and sink it, and take with it not only its ruins, but also its very name!

Sl. 28. River of life.

This double-edged image of the river, which, on the one hand, is a symbol of life, the universe itself, and on the other, an apocalyptic stream that washes both the student himself and his entire universe into the abyss, in some strange way echoes Rasputin's prose, in which the River has become larger than a symbol, it has become providence itself, giving good and taking away not only the life of an individual, but also what is immeasurably greater - his universe, earth, small homeland.

On the banks of this river, a person is born, lives and dies - often in its deep waters, as Nastena did from Live and Remember.

Not only people are drowning in its waters, much more is drowning: their current world is drowning, their past is drowning. The island Matera, like the Atlantis of the New Age, symbolically goes to the bottom of the river along with the graves of their ancestors, and it is no coincidence that before plunging into the waters of the flood, the village burns in an apocalyptic flame: the waters of the biblical flood were only a prototype of the last fire in which the earth would be renewed.

Biography

Scenario of an open extracurricular event in literature

"Literary Lounge. Through the pages of the works of Valentin Rasputin.

Developed by Lyudmila Nikolaevna Molotsilo, teacher of Russian language and literature.

village of Borovskoy

2012

Scenario of the open event “Literary Lounge. Through the pages of the works of V. G. Rasputin.

Goals: acquaintance with the life and work of V. G. Rasputin, formation of literary and aesthetic taste, skill expressive reading, development of communicative competence, oral speech, expansion of the reader's horizons, education of patriotic feelings.

Equipment : statements of Russian writers about the role of reading and fiction, portraits and photographs of V. G. Rasputin, an exhibition of books by V. G. Rasputin.

Leading . In preparation for the event, each class was invited to get acquainted with any work of V. G. Rasputin, read poems by fellow countrymen dedicated to the writer. The performances of each class will be judged by a jury (jury presentation). When scoring, the independence of the answer, the confidence of the presentation, the speech of the speakers, the variety of forms of presentation of the works you have read (staging or reading by roles, etc.) will be taken into account.

Leading . V. Rasputin once wrote: "Literature has one goal - to help a person, breathe on him when reading with warmth and kindness." Rasputin's work fully corresponds to this statement, remember at least the titles of his works: "Farewell to Matyora", "Money for Mary", "Natasha", etc.

The writer himself from childhood loved to read books. After graduating from grade 4 in Atalanka, Rasputin wanted to continue his studies, but the secondary school was located only in the regional center of Ust-Uda, which is 50 km from his native village. “So, at the age of 11, my independent life began,” the writer recalls in the story “French Lessons”. It was difficult to study, Rasputin studied conscientiously. His knowledge was assessed only as excellent, except perhaps for the French language - pronunciation was not given. (Presentation of the story “French Lessons”, Grade 6)

3. Leading .In 1974, V. Rasputin wrote in the Irkutsk newspaper: “I am sure that a person’s childhood makes him a writer, his ability to early childhood see and feel what then gives him the right to take up the pen. Education, books, life experience educate and strengthen this gift in the future, but it should be born in childhood.

Nature, which became close to the writer in childhood, comes to life again on the pages of his works. ("In the taiga above Baikal." Grade 5.)

Leading . “When I remember my childhood, I see myself on the banks of the old Angara, which is now gone, near my native Atalanka, the island opposite and the sun setting on the other side. I have seen a lot of beauties, man-made and not made by hands. But I will die with this picture, which is dearer and closer to me than anything ... ”, the writer later recalled. The writer did not leave his native place until he entered the Faculty of History and Philology of Irkutsk University, from which he graduated in 1959. At first, I didn’t think about the writing business - just one day I found myself without money, he was offered to earn extra money without breaking off with his studies. He published a lot, wrote about that. What was necessary for the editors of the Irkutsk newspaper "Soviet Youth". Reports, notes, essays - here the writer got his hand, learned to listen to people, to have conversations with them. Consider their aspirations.

Rasputin's essays made for the newspaper began to appear in the Angara anthology. From the essays, the book "The Edge Near the Sky" (1966) was born. As a traveling correspondent, the young journalist traveled the interfluve of the Yenisei, Angara and Lena.

Working as a special correspondent for the "Krasnoyarsk Komsomolets", Rasputin wrote articles on the construction of the Abakan-Taishet railway, on the Bratsk and Krasnoyarsk hydroelectric power stations.

In 1967, the story “Money for Mary» . By this time, Rasputin was accepted into the Union of Writers of the USSR and published 3 books of essays and stories. However, the story “Money for Mary” is linked by critics to the emergence of a great original writer in literature, and the author himself considers this story to be the beginning of a new stage in his work. The story brought Rasputin all-Union and worldwide fame: it was reprinted more than once, a play was created based on it, staged in Moscow and then in Germany, the book was published in Sofia, Prague, Barcelona, ​​Bratislava, Helsinki, Tokyo.

Rasputin himself in the mid-70s commented on his story in the following way: “Events burst into a simple family, which millions, forced all moral ties to be exposed, to see everything in a light that illuminates the most intimate corners of human characters.”

(Grade 9. “Money for Mary)

Leading . The most intimate corners of human characters, the deepest experiences of heroes, the feelings of people are shown by Rasputin in his other works. What could be more beautiful than love? Only love itself. But love can also bring suffering, love can change a person, make him better, make him more mature and wiser. This is what is said in the story "Rudolfio." (Grade 8. "Rudolfio")

In 1976, in the “Our contemporary” the story “Farewell to Matyora” appeared, which was then published in other editions both in Russian and in other languages ​​of the USSR. According to the story, a farewell film was made in 1983. The honor refers to the flooding of villages during the construction of the hydroelectric power station. Rasputin tells readers about the spiritual losses that our people have suffered: “Do not flatter yourself, we will no longer be able to return many good traditions. Now we are talking about preserving the rest, not giving up on them with the same lightness and recklessness, as it was until recently.

Leading . The story "Fire", published in 1985, "is essentially a direct continuation of Matera" (V. Rasputin). Matera has already been flooded, and people have moved to a new village. What is it like in the new village? What happened to him?

In an interview, Rasputin said: “Life itself forced me to write a sequel to Matera. While working on "Fire", I felt his intermittent and hot breath. Rather. Didn't feel. And deliberately sought. The material required it. With his calm, smooth presentation, he would not have said anything: when your house is on fire, they don’t say a prayer, but run to extinguish it. There was no need to look for the hero of my story. This is my village neighbor Ivan Yegorovich Slobodchikov. (Speech of grade 11. An excerpt from the story "Fire")

Peter Reutsky.

IN THE WINTER.

Valentin Rasputin.

I'm in debt, I won't hide it.

They are all around, I toil with them.

How little I give to people

And I do a lot.

I take kindness

May that loan continue.

I will wander through the wide world,

I will bypass everyone I know,

I ask to whom and how much I owe.

And I know someone will say: "He lived,"

And drive out into the snow at night.

I will freeze in the middle of winter.

Well, as old age dictates to us,

And it has to be borrowed

So that there is less evil in people.

Having accepted, I will not give it away

Friends or anyone else.

I'll soon curse

What will I take to someone else's house.

I know both sadness and laughter,

Good and evil.

But more in the light

Those who, as a close friend,

Do not send in the night on the snow.

Anatoly Grebnev.

MATHERA.

Listen to the soul

She's still alive

She did not die in debauchery and guilt:

Keeping myself

Hiding myself

In prayer she suffers in depth.

There's a secret country

There Rus is your Matera.

Slavs, as of old, it is inhabited.

The sun is shining there

In the midst of eternal space

And she is not handed over to her enemies.

The sun is shining there

And wherever I look,

The land is well-groomed, where I will not turn around.

To the sound of a bell

The ears are swaying

And the saints pray in sketes for Rus'.

Let now in Rus'

Feasts are celebrated by non-Russians,

And evil sataneet, impudent more and more -

Russia is my Rus',

I don't believe in myself

You will rise again in all your glory!

The Russian spirit is not broken!

You, finding support in it,

Take charge of your sovereign destiny.

Listen to the soul

Open your Matera

Wake up, native people

And be yourself!

Vasily Kozlov

OLD WOMAN.

V. Rasputin.

I've been busy. Fumbled.

Made a lot of trouble...

Granted God's grace

This woman is a hundred years old.

I woke up with the sun,

Silently smiled at the sun

And was baptized at sunrise.

More somehow everything was silent,

Well, if she grumbled,

Not from the heart, from worries.

On a single day I suffered -

Left no hassle.

And went into oblivion

It was like she didn't exist.

In the middle of the close light-

The coffin, dressed in the color of heaven,

Sons crowd, grandchildren.

"Say goodbye come..."

And dry hands lie

In the afternoon for the first time these hands

Resting on the chest

Event progress

1. Introductory speech of the teacher

"There are such concepts: spiritual memory and spiritual experience of a person, which should be present in each of us, regardless of our age."

V. Rasputin

Two years passed without V. G. Rasputin, who just a few hours did not live up to his birthday. March 15th2017 is the 80th anniversary of the birth of Valentin Rasputin. “There are such concepts: spiritual memory and spiritual experience of a person, which should be present in each of us, regardless of our age,” the writer said. I think we will listen to his words, try to learn as much as possible new for ourselves about the famous writer, about his richspiritual experience, unique, inexhaustible and try to understand where such a powerful talent came from, which sparkled with the brightest facets.

Valentin Grigoryevich Rasputin entered our literature immediately, almost without a run-up and as a true master of the word. It is difficult to imagine Russian literature today without the stories and short stories of our countryman. His works have earned well-deserved popularity in our country and abroad.

The path of Valentin Rasputin to literature was determined in the best possible way: in a short time, the young writer became on a par with the great masters of prose.

We invite you to listen to the children of grade 7, who will tell us about the life and work of the writer.

Valentin Grigorievich Rasputin (born March 15, 1937, the village of Ust-Uda, Irkutsk Region) is a Russian prose writer, a representative of the so-called. "village prose".

Born into a peasant family; He spent his childhood in the village of Atalanka. After graduating from local primary school, was forced to leave alone fifty kilometers from the house where the secondary school was located (the famous story “French Lessons” - 1972 would later be created about this period).

Let's see an excerpt from documentary film where Rasputin talks about his childhood.

Slide 3. After school, he entered the Faculty of History and Philology of Irkutsk University. During his student years, he became a freelance correspondent for a youth newspaper. One of his essays caught the attention of the editor. Later, this essay, under the title "I forgot to ask Lyoshka," was published in the anthology "Angara" (1961).

When you entered university, did you dream of writing?

Valentin Rasputin: No, I didn't dream. True, I loved literature at school. Poems, like many teenagers, wrote. I almost wrote a poem for graduation. But there were no high intentions. I went to the historical and philological only in order to return to the village and become a teacher. It seemed to me: this is the most that I can do. Yes, and I was drawn to it.

In senior years, I had to earn extra money on the radio, in a youth newspaper. At that time I became friends with Vampilov. He studied a year younger, but even then he published a book of stories, and I envied him a little. "Why am I worse?" - I thought, and also began to write stories. They were, of course, naive.

Slide 4. After graduating from university in 1959, Rasputin worked for several years in the newspapers of Irkutsk and Krasnoyarsk, often visited the construction of the Krasnoyarsk hydroelectric power station and the Abakan-Taishet highway. Essays and stories about what he saw were later included in his collections Campfire New Cities and The Land Near the Sky.

Slide 5. In 1965, Rasputin showed several new stories to V. Chivilikhin, who came to Chita for a meeting of young writers of Siberia, who became the "godfather" of the beginning prose writer.

Slide 6. The first book of Rasputin's stories "A Man from This World" was published in 1967 in Krasnoyarsk. In the same year, the story "Money for Mary" was published.

The writer's talent was revealed in full force in the story "Deadline" (1970), declaring the maturity and originality of the author.

Slide 7. This was followed by the story "French Lessons" (1973), the novels "Live and Remember" (1974) and "Farewell to Matera" (1976).

In 1981, new stories were published: “Natasha”, “What to tell the crow”, “Live for a century - love a century”.

The appearance in 1985 of Rasputin's story "The Fire", which is distinguished by the acuteness and modernity of the problem, aroused great interest among the reader

Slide 8. In last years the writer devotes a lot of time and energy to social and journalistic activities, without interrupting his work. In 1995, his story "To the same land" was published; essays "Down the Lena River"; in 1996 - the stories "Remembrance Day"; in 1997 - "Unexpectedly, unexpectedly"; "Father's Limits" ("Vision" and "Evening").

Title of work: Extra-curricular event in literature dedicated to the life and work of V. G. Rasputin “All my life I wrote love for Russia” (in memory of V. G. Rasputin) Author Strashko Elena Anatolyevna Place of work State budgetary professional educational institution of the Krasnodar Territory Tikhoretsky industrial technical school Parkovy 2015 Extra-curricular event on literature, creativity of V. G. Rasputin dedicated to life and “All my life I have written love for Russia” (in memory of V. G. Rasputin) Developed by the teacher of GBPOU KK TIT Strashko Elena Anatolyevna Presenter 1 Leonid Leonov, Russian writer , once said that Russian literature is transmitted through a warm shake: Pushkin shook hands with Gogol, Gogol - Turgenev, Turgenev - Tolstoy, Tolstoy - Gorky, Gorky Leonov. We can say that Leonov handed over Russian literature through a warm shake to Valentin Grigoryevich Rasputin. Presenter 2 Zakhar Prilepin, contemporary writer, the winner of many awards in the field of literature, recalled on the day of Rasputin's death: “For me, Valentin Grigorievich - after I read “Money for Mary”, “Live and Remember” - all his amazing, Pushkin's transparency and the power of the story - was in one next to Pushkin, Dostoevsky, Leonov. Frankly, I always put him as a writer above Astafyev and Shukshin (each of whom also had an unprecedented gift) - Valentin Grigoryevich was closer to me, about his cordiality, non-fussiness, honesty - you can warm yourself. Presenter 3 Valentin Rasputin is from a galaxy of writers who can disturb the souls of readers, convey to them their human, civil pain for the earth, for the person on it, for what is happening. His works differed from the general flow modern literature bright identity. Rasputin wrote simply, but at the same time deeply and seriously. Presenter 1 Reading the stories of Rasputin, you clearly imagine the pictures of life he created, you worry, you worry about the fate of people. Looking inside the human soul, the writer reflects on where selfishness, callousness, and soullessness came from in people. He explores the eternal questions of goodness, justice, duty, puts his heroes in such life situations that require the full manifestation of the moral qualities of a person. Presenter 2 No wonder the interest in his books is huge all over the world. Rasputin's novels and stories have been translated into all European languages, plays and films are staged based on his works. Rasputin's work is largely autobiographical, which is emphasized by the title of the first collection of his stories "I forgot to ask Leshka" (1961). Presenter 3 The life of the writer himself and his heroes takes place in Siberia, on the banks of the great Angara. All his thoughts, all his books are dedicated to this land, this beauty and its people. The main setting of his works is the Angara region: Siberian villages and towns. Nature, which became close to the writer in childhood, comes to life again on the pages of his works and speaks to us in the unique language of Rasputin. On March 15, 1937, a son, Valentin, appeared in the family of a young worker of the regional consumer union from the district settlement of Ust-Uda, lost on the taiga coast of the Angara almost halfway between Irkutsk and Bratsk, who later glorified this wonderful land all over the world. “I was born three hundred kilometers from Irkutsk, in Ust-Uda, on the Angara. So I am a native Siberian, or, as we say, a local one,” wrote V.G. Rasputin. Presenter 2 Father - Rasputin Grigory Nikitich, returned from the front with orders and medals. “I worked as the head of the post office, and then there was a shortage. He rode on a ship to pay for transfers and pensions, - recalls Valentin Grigorievich. - He drank, they cut off his bag with money. The money was small, but then they gave long terms for this money. In 1947, Grigory Nikitich was sent to Kolyma for 7 years. Presenter 3 Mother - Rasputina Nina Ivanovna, after the arrest of her husband, she is raising three children alone. Presenter 1 Soon the family moved to the family paternal nest - the village of Atalanka, which subsequently fell into the flood zone after the construction of the Bratsk hydroelectric power station. The beauty of the nature of the Angara region overwhelmed the impressionable boy from the very first years of his life, forever settling in the hidden depths of his heart, soul, consciousness and memory, sprouted in his works with grains of fertile shoots that nourished more than one generation of Russians with their spirituality. Presenter 2 In 1976, Rasputin gave fans of his work a story - "Farewell to Matera", dedicated to the life of the Siberian hinterland. The story tells about the village of Matera, located on an island in the middle of the Angara, prepared for flooding in connection with the construction of a hydroelectric power station. Thus, the author contrasted the traditional way of life with the way of life of an industrial society. Presenter 3 There was only a four-year-old in Atalanka. For further studies, Valentin was sent to the Ust-Uda secondary school. The boy grew up on his own hungry and bitter experience, but an indestructible craving for knowledge and a not childishly serious responsibility helped to survive. Rasputin would later write about this difficult period of his life in the story "French Lessons", surprisingly reverent and truthful. "French Lessons" tells about a wartime childhood, about a hungry boy who lives alone in a strange city where he came to study. (slide 15, video “Episodes from the film“ French Lessons ”) Host1 Valentina had only fives in his matriculation certificate. A couple of months later, in the summer of the same 1954, having brilliantly passed the entrance exams, he became a student of the philological faculty of Irkutsk University, he did not even think about writing, he dreamed of becoming a teacher. Presenter 2 But once, finding himself without money (the university stopped issuing a scholarship), he agreed to work in parallel with his studies. He wrote about what was necessary for the editors of the Irkutsk newspaper "Soviet Youth". Reports, notes, essays - here Rasputin learned to listen to people, to talk with them, to think about their aspirations. After graduating from the Faculty of History and Philology of the Irkutsk University (1959), for a number of years - before becoming a professional writer - he worked as a journalist in Siberia. In the anthology "Angara" began to appear his essays written for the newspaper. Presenter 3 As a traveling correspondent, the young journalist walked around and traveled the interfluve of the Yenisei, Angara and Lena. Working as a special correspondent for Krasnoyarsky Komsomolets, Rasputin wrote articles on the construction of the Abakan-Taishet railway, on the Bratsk and Krasnoyarsk hydroelectric power stations. Lead 1 Rasputin is one of the most prominent representatives so-called "village prose", which flourished in the 1970s. Fame came to the young prose writer with the appearance of the story "Money for Mary", published in the anthology "Angara", in 1967. By this time, Rasputin was admitted to the Writers' Union of the USSR. Presenter 2 The story brought Rasputin all-Union and worldwide fame. In full force, Rasputin's talent was revealed in the story "Deadline" (1970) Based on a simple everyday story: the last days of the old woman Anna, the days of summing up. As in confession, the fate of a person unfolds. She completed her life like a job. Anna is one of the stunning female images of Rasputin, an example of hard work, disinterestedness, responsibility to work, children, and others. Presenter 3 Her adult children gathered from different cities and villages to say goodbye - each with their own character, with their own destiny. The mother is dying, and everyone has a common sense of loss, a sense of duty, according to which, having not met for many years, they ended up all together under their father's roof. And their characters in this common feeling, as it were, merge, are erased, for themselves they cease to have an essential meaning. In Rasputin's "Deadline" appears a unique view of the earthly world as a temporary abode of man. Presenter 1 "Live and Remember" (1974) - this is the name of the new story. Rasputin again chooses a critical situation that tests the moral foundations of the individual. The plot outline of the story - an exemplary soldier Andrei Guskov in 1944, when victory is already close, deserts from the army - at first alarming, but still the story is purely Rasputin. Presenter 2 And here in the center is a taiga village with accurately drawn images, because for the writer, as always, it is not the plot, not the event as such that is important, but the characters, the psychological study of betrayal, its origins and consequences. Breaking away from his fellow villagers, Andrei looks from the side, at himself, at his happy past life , irretrievably leaving and having no future. He lives as a hermit in the forest. Rare meetings with his wife Nastya, who is expecting a child from him, do not bring him joy. Presenter 3 In constant fear and tension, Guskov gradually loses his human appearance. The writer focuses on the moral and philosophical problems that confronted both Andrei himself and, to an even greater extent, his wife. Driven to despair, pursued by fellow villagers who guessed about her dates with her husband, Nastya rushes to the Angara. Presenter 1 The essence of Rasputin's story is rightly defined by the writer V. Astafiev: "Live and remember, man, in trouble, in the gloom, in the most difficult days of trials, your place is next to your people; any apostasy caused by your weakness, whether by your ignorance, turns into even greater grief for your homeland and people, and therefore for you." And the story was written for the sake of the living: live and remember, man, why you came into this world. The unity of the fate of man with the fate of the people - that's the idea of ​​the story. Without it, there is no person. Angara plays a symbolic role in many of Rasputin's works. Here, too, she supports and protects, and judges and executes. In the work of V. G. Rasputin, the problems of the relationship between man and nature are acutely posed. Presenter 2 In 1985, Rasputin's story "Fire" was published on the pages of "Our Contemporary", which can be perceived as a continuation of "Farewell to Matyora". Here, fire for Rasputin is a symbol, a fiery sign of trouble, a consequence of trouble in society. "Fire" appeared at a crucial time for the country - at the very beginning of an active search for a way out of the current situation, a decisive turn towards the truth. But even today, when we have managed to learn and realize a lot, Rasputin's story remains one of the most powerful works of our time. Its strength is in the truth, harsh and harsh, dictated by love for a person, responsibility for the fate of the people. Instead of jointly fighting misfortune, people one by one, competing with each other, take away the good snatched from the fire. Presenter 3 Valentin Rasputin is a great master, smart and sensitive to our anxieties and troubles. For him, love for the land is not an abstract concept, it is supported by concrete deeds. As a true Russian writer, he very well understood his duty to his homeland and accomplished his moral feat - he began to write articles in defense of Lake Baikal, to fight for its salvation. Presenter 1 In the 90s he wrote many stories: “Live for a century, love a century”, “Women's conversation”, “What to tell a crow? ”, “To the same land”, “Young Russia”, “In the hospital” are stories that amaze with the deepest psychologism. The problems of urban life, the feelings and thoughts of the urban intelligentsia increasingly fall into the circle of writer's attention of Valentin Rasputin. Presenter 2 In 1989-1990 - People's Deputy of the USSR. In the summer of 1989, at the first Congress of People's Deputies of the USSR, Valentin Rasputin first proposed the withdrawal of Russia from the USSR. Subsequently, Rasputin claimed that in him “he who had ears heard not a call to Russia to slam the union door, but a warning not to make a fool or blindly, which is the same thing, a scapegoat from the Russian people.” Presenter 3 In 1990-1991 - Member of the Presidential Council of the USSR under M. S. Gorbachev. Commenting on this episode of life, V. Rasputin noted: “My going to power did not end in anything. It was completely in vain. […] With shame I remember why I went there. My premonition deceived me. It seemed to me that there were still years of struggle ahead, but it turned out that there were some months left before the collapse. I was, as it were, a free application, which was not even allowed to speak. ” Presenter 1 Since 1967, Valentin Grigorievich was a member of the Union of Writers of the Soviet Union. In 1986, he was elected Secretary of the Board of the Union of Writers of the USSR and Secretary of the Board of the Union of Writers of the RSFSR.

In the first half of the 1980s, the writer began to engage in social activities, becoming the initiator campaign to save Lake Baikal from the runoff of the Baikal Pulp and Paper Mill. Presenter 3 He published essays and articles in defense of the lake, took an active part in the work of environmental commissions.In August 2008, as part of a scientific expedition, Valentin Rasputin dived to the bottom of Lake Baikal on a deep-sea "Mir" apparatus. Presenter 1 In 1989-1990, the writer was a deputy of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR. In 1990-1991, he was a member of the Presidential Council of the USSR.

In 1992, he was a member of the political council of the National Salvation Front (FNS). Presenter 2 Later, the writer stated that he did not consider himself a politician, because "politics is a dirty business, a decent person has nothing to do there; this does not mean that there are no decent people in politics, but they are usually doomed." Presenter 3 A breakdown was felt in him. This fracture was recorded by television cameras in the summer of 2006: the hunched back of someone leaving the Irkutsk airport. His daughter Maria burned to death there. Presenter 1 Maria Rasputina, musicologist, organist, lecturer at the Moscow Conservatory. She died in a plane crash on July 9, 2006 in Irkutsk.
