The biography of Adrianov

Yuri Andreevich Adrianov is an outstanding Nizhny Novgorod poet, prose writer, publicist, local historian, he himself united these hypostases with a capacious word “writer”. The author of more than forty books, numerous publications in periodicals - magazines, almanacs, collections, newspapers - with all life and creativity belonging to the remarkable people of the land of Nizhny Novgorod.

Yuri Adrianov was born on June 18 - two years before the start of the Great Patriotic War. His children's memory, as he himself admitted, almost did not capture the image of his father - Andrei Vasilievich, who went to the front and disappeared during the defense of Crimea in the besieged by the enemy of Sevastopol. The most expensive that remained of his father was his front -line letters, in which there are direct appeals to the little son.

And all his life, Yuri Adrianov in verses and prose led a dialogue with the younger lieutenant of the Marine Corps that had not returned from the war. Father continued to live next to his son, along with his son. Of course, a special merit in this belonged to Yurina Mom - Ekaterina Ivanovna, who organized family life so much that it always felt the presence of the third - the main member of the family - father.

Yura never had a sense of unrestrained, there was simply a long paternal absence, in the first post -war years, which was interspersed even with a hidden hope for a happy return: after all, there was no funeral! Yuri always surrounded his involvement in the old Nizhny Novgorod, however, not only Nizhny Novgorod! He felt close to himself with both the praise-priest, who led a soldier on the Borodino field, and a general who was at one time the mayor of Moscow, and the glorious railway worker, who laid the way through the Siberian taiga, in whose honor the station is called by Adrianovka.

Yuri was rightfully proud of his grandfather - Vasily Vasilievich Adrianov, a wonderful mathematician, one of the founders of the first in the Russian Federation of the Nizhny Novgorod Astronomical Society and the chairman of the Academic Council, who established a national university in Nizhny Novgorod, and his grandfather’s brother, the creator of the Army compass Adrianov and the author of the coat of arms of the Soviet Union.

This is his father’s brother - Nikolai Vasilievich Adrianov - became the developer of a truly stunning project, thanks to whom in Gorky in the year along the year along the tram rails across the Oksky bridge and then along Sovetskaya Street military echelons with Siberian divisions from the Romodanovsky station to Moscow, and further to the rescue for Moscow!

All this formed the character of Yuri Adrianov, his attitude and worldview, his place in life. And all this he briefly fit into two words "Nizhny Novgorod Father." So he named his main book, on which he worked all his life. It was with his light hand that newspaper and magazine headings appeared under the name, but they simply sounded beautifully, never possessing the depth that Yuri Adrianov put into this authorship.

We can say that in the history of our city there is a period that is called and will be called Adrianov time. He did not have large state awards, and he did not mourn about this, but he himself admitted that the title of honorary citizen of the Nizhny Novgorod region is more expensive for him. It was him in heart and mind. The first publications of verses by Yuri Adrianov fall in the last year of study.

He participates in cleaning the virgin harvest in Altai, in folklore student expeditions in the native land and all the Volga region. These trips became the theme of poems both picturesque and graphic sketches.

Adrianov had an outstanding talent of the artist, and the first educational institution that he successfully graduated was a children's art school. The sketchin, brushes and oil paints he drove everywhere and carried with him with a pen and notebook. Of course, five years of life and creativity on Gorky State Television, where he was hired by the youth edition in June, immediately after graduating from the university, became a significant event in the life and work of Yu.

Adrianov. Adrianov prepared programs on various topics, but, above all, he was attracted by local history. He was the author of the cycles “A handful of the native land”, “Nizhny Novgorod Father”, scenarios of the films “The Road to the City of Kitezh”, “Kilometers of Russia” and others, plays for the television performance “December Small” about the Nizhny Novgorod residents. With filming groups, Adrianov drove thousands of kilometers along his native Nizhny Novgorod land, and meetings on the way with nature and people nourished him with new knowledge, and new plots for poetry and prose.

In the year, Yu. Adrianov quit television in order to constantly engage in writing, but was always a friend of our television and radio company, where he came to a summer student, and left at the age of 28 the formed writer, a member of the Union of Writers of the USSR. Until now, apatite miners on the Kola Peninsula, Kamchatka geologists, Baikal fishermen sing songs written by Adrinov, without even knowing the name of their author.

They have long belonged to these people, and this is the highest recognition and convincing evidence of Adrian's talent.In years, Yuri was the first among the post -war young poets of our region and sang the paint of Khokhloma, this was before Boris Kornilov returned from oblivion. Adrinov was surprised and told in verses about Andrei Rublev and his icon painting, he felt the beauty and spiritual power of the old Russian temples “on Nerli Korostye cry it later, after Adrianov, these topics became popular among his young comrades in the literary workshop.

Then the poet was reproached in leaving the present. Although he never left her. Even when I turned to historical plots, or wrote to purely political stories, I would even say, on party topics, I was sincere and highly poetic “We walked around the mine”, “I am a Volgar-Dobrovolet” he was a writer and a citizen, and throughout years he sensibly responded to the phenomena and problems in the life of the country and the people.

He was accurate and aphoristic in his judgments. It is enough to recall the lines written in farewell to the twentieth century: we started with the “Varangian” for the century, graduated from Kursk ... In life, his selfless love for places expensive from childhood led to his native city, which, as he himself admitted to friends, should serve and devote life. Nizhny Novgorod.
