Vlodov, Yuri Alexandrovich

Yuri Alexandrovich Vlodov was born on December 6, 1932 in Novosibirsk in a family of theater workers. Father Alexander Vlodov is a theater director by profession. Since he was the nephew of the famous Odessa raider Mishka Yaponchik , his father changed his surname. Mother, Nadezhda Borisovna Timoshenko (pseudonym Nadezhdin), was an actress.

The family traveled around the country along with touring theaters; they did not have permanent housing. When the war began, his father went to the front. The poet’s childhood and youth passed in Ukraine , then he survived the war , occupation and evacuation to Siberia . Military and post-war childhood, a desire to survive, brought the boy to a criminal company.

Yuri began to write poetry early, from the age of 6. At the end of the 50s, he arrived in the publishing village of Peredelkino and with his first adult poems went to the classics of Soviet literature. I met with B. Pasternak , I. Selvinsky , K. Chukovsky and many others.

Vlodov’s poems with a foreword by Selvinsky were published in Smena magazine, for this publication Yuri Vlodov became a laureate of the magazine.

In the future, in the Soviet years, Vlodov was practically not published, mainly he gives poems to various audiences, both casual and colleagues. He read verses of anti-Soviet content, after which he attracted the attention of the KGB of the USSR .

In his youth, Yuri Alexandrovich Vlodov was associated with the criminal world . There are a lot of dark spots in his creative life, from some certain time Vlodov could not publish his poems, did not publish a single book, having at the same time not only a poetic gift, but also a love of writing. Sometimes Yuri Vlodov wrote poetry for others, by agreement. According to those who knew him, he possessed the gift of imitation; he could compose poetry as a poet- urbanist , or he could as a poet-woodworker, like: a la Rubtsov , who were then published, according to the agreement, under the name of the customer - up to the newspaper Pravda ^[3] . Vlodov called such authors "clients."

Lev Novozhenov recalls that “ Yura was friends with Sasha Aronov . It was friendship, not friendship, because it was impossible to be friends with Aronov, as well as with Vlodov ... Blasphemer. Not keen on publishing. It didn’t matter, they did not print. I did not see this tragedy. He wrote like a god. I think you can put it on a par with Brodsky ” ^[4] .

After perestroika, Vlodov’s poems were published in the magazines Yunost , Club, Rural Youth, Children of Ra , Day and Night , Arion , in the newspapers Sovetskaya Rossiya , Literaturnaya Gazeta , Trud , “ Beep ”, “ Moskovsky Komsomolets ”, “Tribune”, as well as in literary almanacs and collections of “Sources”, “Shelter of unknown poets”, “Aeolian harp”, etc. ^[5]

The first book of Yuri Alexandrovich Vlodov, “The Cross,” was published in 1996 by the publishing house of the journal Yunost, when the poet was 64 years old.

Two films are made about him: “I am writing to you, Your Majesty” (television movie, RTR channel, 1992) and, in black and white, “And genius is the devil!” (Film and video studio “Man and Time”, 1995 Mr., director Sergey Knyazev).

Yuri Belikov, Lev Ozerov, Kirill Kovaldi, Evgeny Stepanov, Evgeny Lesin, Oleg Khlebnikov, Boris Kocherga, Ravil Bukharaev and others wrote about him.

Yuri Alexandrovich Vlodov died on September 29, 2009 at the age of 76. He was buried at the Rakitsky cemetery in Moscow.

The main book, on which the poet worked from the mid-70s to the end of his days, is the book "People and Gods", which contains philosophical verses on biblical-gospel themes.

But the work of Yuri Vlodov is diverse. In addition, he still has a whole book of poems about the Great Patriotic War, poems on historical subjects, literary portraits. There are landscape lyrics, poems about Russia, poems about creativity, about the poet’s mission. A lot of humorous, ironic, satirical poems. These verses are presented in part in the book “On the Seven Hills”.

Everything is interconnected in the poetic-worldview system of Vlodov: good and evil, soul and body, earth and the universe, laughter and tears. Eclecticism and the dualism of consciousness do not contradict the search for oneself in this world, a vivid personality of the character of the lyrical hero. In every poem by Vlodov there is a huge world, the world of a poet ...

- Evgeny Stepanov ^[6]

Yuri Vlodov creates his myth about Moses, about Christ, about God's purpose and providence. Such is the sweet and terrible fate of the tragic poets ... They want to be the first witnesses to the main events in the life of mankind. They, the proud, want to speak with the Lord himself, bypassing the Prophets ...
