Lobachev, Yuri Pavlovich

Yuri Lobachev was born in the Ottoman Empire , in the city of Skadra (now Shkoder, Albania ), where his father Pavel Artemievich Lobachev was in the service as a Russian consul. His childhood passed against the backdrop of the Balkan Wars , in the city of Cetinje he was baptized. Then he lived in Kosovsk-Mitrovica , then on the island of Crete and in Thessaloniki .

The revolution found the family in Cairo, where his father got a place as an adviser to the diplomatic mission. He led the way from Cairo to emigration: at first the Lobachevs live in Dubrovnik, and after the death of their father in 1921 they moved to Vojvodina, in the city of Novi Sad, where the widow suffered the ashes of her husband. In 1922, his mother dies of tuberculosis and Yuri is assigned to an orphanage, from where he, together with his younger brother, escapes to Belgrade and enters to study at the 1st Russian-Serbian gymnasium.

In order to graduate from the gymnasium and the faculty (and after graduating from the gymnasium he entered the Faculty of Art History in the class of Professor V. Petkovich), Yuri had to work: to be a laborer, sell books, draw advertising posters. It was the advertisement that helped him - he was noticed in the editorial office of the largest Serbian newspaper Politika and offered to paint for them. So Yuri turned out to be one of the first artists in the history of the largest newspaper in the Balkans and the first illustrator of the popular magazine Politikin the Fun. The popularity of Lobachev as an artist led to his extraordinary demand: he collaborated with all the specialized magazines of the then Yugoslavia, but managed to work as an illustrator, illustrating the textbooks and editions of the Golden Book series of the children's book, which was very popular at that time (Zlatna kiga). In 1935, together with the screenwriter Vadim Kurgansky, Lobachev (under the pseudonym George Streep) created the first Yugoslav full-length comic strip, The Bloody Legacy. Since then, he has been actively painting the comic books Death Ray, Baron Munchausen, Princess Ru, The Wizard of Oz, Light-Eyed Adventurer, White Ghost, Sheikh’s Son, The Lord of Death, Dubrovsky and others for the magazines Mika Mish , Mikievo kingdom and Politikin Zabavnik . In the 1939th comic, Princess Roux was also published in France as Princesse Thanit in Aventures magazine.

During the war he was a member of the Union of Soviet Patriots organization. In 1949 he was expelled from his family from Yugoslavia. In 1949-1955 he lived in Bucharest. Lobachev died already in the XXI century - in 2002 at the age of 94 years. Now in Belgrade there is a comic school, which bears the name "George Lobachev" (opened during the life of the artist in 1996). And one of the streets of the city bears his name - George Lobacheva Street, and this is the first street in the world bearing the name of the comic book artist. ^[one]
