Biography
He graduated from the University of Wroclaw , where he studied Polish philology. He stood at the origins of the Polish Solidarity movement [2] , becoming one of its leaders [3] [4] , was the press secretary and confidant of Lech Walesa [5] [6] . He was twice in prison for political reasons. [7] Disappointed with the results of the activities of the leaders of Solidarity [8] [9] , he left Poland and flew to Germany, to the apartment of a long-time acquaintance Masha Paarsken, who worked as press secretary of Yu. Lyubimov during his stay abroad [3] . Then, following her advice, he went to the United States and lectured on journalism at an American university for several years [10] [2] [5] [9] . In exile, Wilk decided to continue the Polish theme: write a book about Gdansk . However, Wilk’s plans to prepare a book on Gdansk events were met by an American publisher, Professor Mandelbaum, who replied:
Listen, after the collapse of the Berlin Wall, all this no longer interests anyone. Want some advice? Go to Russia. You will always have a piece of bread. For this country will always interest us [2] [3] [5] [11] .
Vilk moved to Russia, where he first went to the place of the Vilnius events of 1991 , then he became an eyewitness to the Moscow coup and the peak of the first Abkhaz war , traveled throughout the country, cities and republics of the crumbling USSR [2] . In 1995, Mariusz Wilk became an accredited correspondent with the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs [12] and was first published in the Parisian Culture magazine, and after the death of its editor-in-chief Jerzy Giedroitz , when the magazine was closed, in the literary supplement to the Zhechpospolita newspaper [13] . Working as a correspondent in the Abkhaz war , Wilk became an involuntary witness to the event, after which he stopped his professional newspaper work. Georgian mercenaries, resting on the Sukhumi beach, noticed two tourists who had barely managed to get out of the conflict zone. It was a guy and a girl. The mercenaries raped the girl, and at first they mocked the guy, then they killed him by removing the scalp from him [3] . Trying to cope with the experiences that gripped him, Wilk went to the Solovetsky Islands , where he initially planned to spend a couple of days, but after meeting and talking with his Solovetsky father German, touched by his words “Wandering the world without leaving his cell” [3] [14] , decided to stay. The first four years he did not write anything, read the Church Fathers, and fasted. Having lived on Solovki for nine years, Vilk moved to Zaonezhye , in the village of Kondoberezhskaya in the Medvezhyegorsky district of the Republic of Karelia [11] , where he now lives with his wife Natalya (a native of Petrozavodsk [15] ) and his little daughter Marta [10] in the old one (1913) built) wooden house [16] [17] . During his stay in Russia, Mariusz thoroughly studied the Russian language , starting with the ancient Slavic annals and ending with dialects [2] .
