Galich, Alexander Arkadyevich

Alexander Ginzburg was born on October 19, 1918 in Yekaterinoslav (now the Dnieper ) into a Jewish family. The father, Aron Samoilovich Ginsburg (1894–?), Was an economist; her mother, Feiga (Fanny, Faina) Borisovna Veksler (1896–?), worked as an administrator at the conservatory ^[2] . Grandfather was a pediatrician ; Uncle - literary critic Lev Samoilovich Ginzburg (1879-1933) ^{[3] [4]} . The family lived in the house number 74 on Cossack Street, erected in 1911 by the forces of the residents themselves (Ekaterinoslav house-building society, the first housing cooperative in the city). The younger brother is the cameraman Valery Ginzburg .

In 1920, the Galich family moved to Sevastopol , and in 1923 - to Moscow , where they settled in the house of Dmitry Venevitinov in Krivokolenny Lane . In this house, once Alexander Pushkin first read his tragedy " Boris Godunov ." In Moscow, Galich graduated from school 24 BONO (now number 1227 ).

The first publication is the poem “Peace in the Shout” ( Pioneers Truth - May 23, 1932; signed by Alexander Ginzburg).

After the ninth grade, Galich almost simultaneously entered the Literary Institute and the Stanislavsky Opera and Drama Studio , which became the last course of Stanislavsky, which he did not have time to release. The Literary Institute soon abandoned, and after three years left the Opera and Drama Studio. He moved to the Studio Theater Alexei Arbuzov and Valentin Pluchek (1939). In February 1940, the studio debuted with the play "City at the Dawn" with collective authorship. One of the authors of the play was Galich. It was his debut in drama. For this play and performance, he also wrote songs. In the play, he played the role of the Komsomol of the Borschagovsky construction site.

When the war began , Galic was drafted into the army. But the medical commission found that he had a congenital heart disease and was released from service. Galich got a job in the exploration party and went south. In the south, in the city of Grozny, he got into the local drama theater, in which he worked until December 1941. From here Galich went to Tashkent , where Arbuzov began to form a theatrical group of his former students.

• Uncle (mother's brother) - Mark Borisovich Weksler (1903-1980), from 1932 he was the director of the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory ^[5] . His son is a journalist Igor Markovich Veksler, an honored cultural worker of the Russian Federation ^[6] .
• A cousin is Alexander Osipovich Ginzburg (1917–1973), theater director, People’s Artist of the Uzbek SSR (his son is a television director Yevgeny Ginzburg ).

Personal Life

In Tashkent, Galich meets with actress Valentina Dmitrievna Arkhangelskaya (08/20/1919 - 12/28/1999), younger sister of composer and conductor Rostislav Dmitrievich Arkhangelsky (1918–2006) ^[7] , whose marriage was registered in 1942, after returning to Moscow .

May 21, 1943 they had a daughter, Alexandra (Alyona). Grandson - theater and film actor Pavel Pavlovich Galich (born October 20, 1983).

In 1945, Valentina Arkhangelskaya received the position of the leading actress in the Irkutsk Dramatic Theater and left Moscow. This eventually leads them to divorce.

In 1947, Galich marries Angelina Nikolaevna Shekrot (Prokhorova).

On September 3, 1967, his son Grigory was born out of wedlock, who received the surname of his mother Mikhnov-Voitenko (Sofya Mikhnova-Voitenko, 1934-1972, costume designer at the Gorky film studio , and was previously married to non-conformist artist Yevgeny Mikhnov-Voitenko ) ^[8] .

Dramaturgy

In the early period of his work, Galich wrote several plays for the theater:

• 1946 - “ Boys Street ”,
• 1946-1947 - " Marching march " (or " An hour before dawn "),
• 1947-1948 - “ Taimyr Causes You ” (in collaboration with KF Isaev ; the film was shot in 1970),
• 1954 - "The Paths We Choose " (or " Under the lucky star "),
• 1958 - “ The steamer name is Orlyonok ”,
• 1959 - “ How much does a person need ?”

and movie scripts:

• 1954 - “ True Friends ” (together with K. F. Isaev ),
• 1962 - " At the seven winds ",
• 1964 - “ Give me a complaint book ”,
• 1964 - " State criminal ",
• 1965 - The Third Youth ,
• 1967 - " Running on the waves ."

The play " Sailor's Silence ", written in 1958 for the Sovremennik Theater , which was opened at that time, was first staged only in 1988, after the death of the author, O. Tabakov .

Poems and Songs

In the late 1950s, Galich began composing songs, performing them to his own accompaniment on a seven-stringed guitar . Starting from Alexander Vertinsky's romance tradition and art, Galich became one of the brightest representatives of the Russian author's song genre (along with Vladimir Vysotsky and Bulat Okudzhava ), which the bards soon developed, and which became very popular with the advent of tape recorders . In this genre, Galich has formed a special direction.

Galich did not include his early songs of the 1940-1950s in the compilations.

The first songs - “Helen” (1962), “About painters, stoker and the theory of relativity” and “Law of nature” (both 1962) - being relatively politically innocuous, did not coincide with the official Soviet aesthetics. Thus began a turning point in the work of a prosperous Soviet writer. He was also helped by the story of the failed premiere of the Galich play “The Sailor’s Silence” written for the contemporary theater created. An already rehearsed play was banned from showing, stating to the author that he distortedly represents the role of the Jews in the Great Patriotic War . Galich later described this episode in the autobiographical novel “Dress Rehearsal” (completed in 1973).

Conflict with the Soviet authorities

Later on, his songs became more and more deep and politically sharp, which led to a conflict with the authorities. Galich was forbidden to give public concerts. It was not printed and was not allowed to release the record. In fact, it was a ban on any professional activity and work.

He performed with his songs in apartments, at the so-called "home concerts" , collecting him very small earnings. His songs were distributed and transmitted to each other in tape recordings, thanks to which he became more and more popular, and which were seized by KGB officers during searches.

Once Valentin Nikolaevich Pluchek decided to invite Galich, as his former student in the studio, to perform songs for the actors of the Theater of Satire , which he then headed, on the occasion of a celebration on a skit , where the audience was not allowed at all. Galich happily agreed. A self-made announcement was posted in the interior of the theater, where outsiders, including the audience, were not allowed. But even this purely internal concert was categorically banned by the authorities. Bucheku was called from the Ministry of Culture and demanded to cancel the speech of Galich.

March 8, 1968 in the Akademgorodok of Novosibirsk, a festival of art song, held by the Under the Integral Club, was held. At this festival, Alexander Galich held the only public concert in the USSR, where he also performed his song “ In Memory of B. L. Pasternak ” ^{[10] [11] [12]} . On April 18, an article appeared in the newspaper " Evening Novosibirsk ", in which Galic was accused of all sins. Threats, a ban on singing their songs, fell on him; then the repression began.

In 1969, his first book “Songs” was published in the “anti-Soviet” foreign publishing house “ Posev ” . This was the reason for his subsequent expulsion from the Union of Writers of the USSR (December 29, 1971), the Union of Cinematographers of the USSR, and even from the Literary Fund (1972). The play " Sailor's Silence " (1957) is prohibited, persecution in print is open, publications in the official press are discontinued.

Corresponding Member of the dissident Committee of Human Rights in the USSR (1970-1973). Member of the petition campaigns.

In 1973 ^{[13] he was} baptized in the Orthodox Church by Father Alexander Menem ^[14] . The godfather of Galich became the composer Nikolai Karetnikov .

Exile and death

On January 14, 1972, Galich was expelled from the Union of Writers of the USSR , of which he had been a member since 1955 (the song “ From my trifling misfortune ... ” is devoted to this event). In the same year he was expelled from the Union of Cinematographers , in which he has been a member since 1958 . In 1972 , after the third heart attack , Galich received a second disability group and a pension - 54 (according to other data, 60) rubles per month.

June 25, 1974 Galich was forced to emigrate from the USSR . In the details of emigration sources diverge. According to one version, he nominally left for Norway to participate in the workshop on the works of K. S. Stanislavsky , but immediately after crossing the border he was deprived of Soviet citizenship . According to another - he emigrated according to the so-called. " Israeli visa".

On October 22, 1974, by a resolution of Glavlit in agreement with the Central Committee of the CPSU, all his previously published works were banned in the USSR .

Norway became its first refuge abroad, then he moved to Munich , where he worked for a while on the American radio station Liberty , became a member of the NTS ^[15] . Then Galich settled down and lived in Paris .

December 15, 1977 , at about 14:00, according to the official version - as a result of an accident, in the 60th year of life A. Galich tragically died from an electric shock when the antenna was connected to a TV .

There is also a version that this was a carefully planned and prearranged murder ^[16] . Meanwhile, the Parisian acquaintances of Galich ( Vladimir Maksimov , Vasily Betaki ) stated that the accident was the cause of his death:

Mikhail Shemyakin ^[17] gives a slightly different version:

Angelina Nikolaevna said: “Sasha has long dreamed of some kind of unusual Grundig stereo system. When they brought her to us, the workers said that an expert should connect it tomorrow. I went to the store, and Sasha began to connect something, took up the radiator, was electrocuted, and when I returned, he lay unconscious, but alive. I rushed to call, but the whole matter was decided by the minutes, and while the doctors were driving, Sasha died in my arms ” ^[18] .

After a week-long investigation, the French police closed the case on the death of Alexander Galich for 50 years - until December 15, 2027.

The next day after the death of the poet, two Moscow theaters — on Taganka and Sovremennik — held intermissions in intermissions for his memory. After the performance, a memorial evening was held at the Theater of Satire ; Galich's poems were read by Alexander Shirvindt ^[8] .

Alexander Arkadyevich Galich was buried on December 22, 1977, not far from Paris, in the Russian cemetery of Sainte-Genevieve-des-Bois ( Fr. cimetière communal de Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois ). Year of birth of the poet on the plate is wrong - 1919th ^[8] . The inscription on the tombstone is a quotation from the Gospel of Matthew: "Blessed are you to expel the truth for the sake of . "

On May 12, 1988, at the request of the poet’s daughter, Alena Arkhangelskaya, Alexander Galich was reinstated in the USSR Union of Cinematographers , and on May 15, 1988, in the USSR Writers' Union ^[19] . In the summer of 1993, Russian citizenship was returned to Alexander Galich ^[19] .

On October 17, 1998 , on the eve of the 80th anniversary, M. Menem installed a memorial plaque on the house number 4 on Chernyakhovsky Street in Moscow and opened it: “In this house from 1956 he lived until his exile in 1974 a Russian poet and playwright Alexander Galich . Blessed is the exile of truth for the sake of

• In October 1964, for the screenplay of the film The State Criminal , A. Galich was awarded a diploma of the KGB of the USSR.
• In Galich's song “ Red Triangle ”, the character “Comrade Paramonova” acts. In film circles, it was believed that this name was derived Galic is not accidental. Among his acquaintances were “Comrade Paramonova” - Kira Konstantinovna Paramonova (June 4, 1916 - October 19, 2005), the editor of the State Committee for Cinematography and a teacher of the scriptwriting department of VGIK. Once she had to urgently take the place of the chairman of the jury of the children's film competition at the Moscow Film Festival - for some reason the cinematographer from the country of the socialist camp refused from this post. Such a post had to “deserve”. According to rumors, Paramonova actively opposed the scripts of Galich ^[22] .
  Here is what Renata Litvinova, who studied with her, told about Kira Konstantinovna: “Beauty. Blonde. Film Week Even Galich sang some songs about her ” ^[23] .
• Galich's younger brother Valery Ginzburg became a famous cameraman. Among the films he shot were Soldier Ivan Brovkin , When the Trees were Big , Such a Guy Lives , Commissioner ^[24] .
