Schreer-Tkachenko, Anisia Yakovlevna

Kamyanets-Podilsky and Arrival in Kiev

Anisia Schreer was born in 1905 in the family of a working foundry in the village of Krasnostavtsy , Kamenetz-Podolsky uyezd , Podolsk province , now Chemerovets district , Khmelnitsky region . Received primary education at a local church school. Later she entered the preparatory class of the Kamyanets-Podilsky gymnasium.

After completing teacher courses (1923-1924), she worked as a primary school teacher in the village of Kadievtsy (now Kamenetz-Podolsky district , Khmelnitsky region). At the same time, she studied violin with Professor Faddey Ganitsky in Kamenetz-Podolsky .

In 1925, the Kamenetz-Podolsky District Trade Union Council drew attention to a capable 20-year-old girl and sent her to study in Kiev - to the music department of the Nikolai Lysenko Music and Drama Institute. However, in Kiev, Anisia fell ill with typhus , and therefore could not begin her studies at the institute.

The girl did not return to her homeland, but got a job as a group teacher in the Kiev Polish Orphanage No. 1, where then the homeless children of the Poles were gathered. Then in the same institution she conducted musical instructor work. At the same time, Anisia Schreer studied at the Max Geltz foreign language courses and in the first year of the Kiev Institute of Public Education , which she did not graduate for family reasons.

In 1925, the 20-year-old Anisia got married. Her husband was a student at the medical institute Joseph Semenovich Tkachenko. Anisia took a double surname - Schreer-Tkachenko. A year later, on September 4, 1926, a daughter was born to the Tkachenko couple, who was named Galya. Galina Iosifovna Tkachenko (died May 29, 1991) went in the footsteps of her mother: she became a candidate for art history, an assistant professor of the Kiev Conservatory .

Anisia continued to work in the orphanage, and when the working conservatory was opened in Kiev, she studied at the piano and conductor departments. The trade union organization and the teaching staff of the working conservatory (in particular, Professor Grigory Lyubomirsky ) worthily appreciated the capable student and sent her to study at the Nikolai Lysenko Music and Drama Institute, to which she was sent from Kamenetz at one time.

In 1930, the children's home in which Anisia Schreer-Tkachenko worked was reorganized, so she got a job as a librarian-bibliographer in the library of the Kiev Institute for Advanced Medical Studies . After graduating from foreign language courses - German and French, she went to work at the State Literature and Art Publishing House in Kiev, later became a bibliographer and executive secretary of the Kiev branch of the Art Publishing House.

With the opening of the Kiev State Conservatory, Schreer-Tkachenko, without examinations, was accepted to the historical and theoretical faculty opened for the first time in Ukraine. She graduated from it in 1940 and in the same year she became a graduate student of this faculty.

Anisia Schreer-Tkachenko combined her studies at the conservatory with pedagogical work. She was a teacher of musical literature in the music decade and music school at the Kiev Conservatory. She had to go on business trips to teach at the first collective farm conservatory in the village of Vodichki (Khmelnitsky district) . As a student, Anisya Yakovlevna since 1936 at the same time worked in her native educational institution as an assistant in the department of music history and as the head of the music-historical cabinet of the conservatory, which she herself organized.

From the beginning and almost to the end of the war, Schreer-Tkachenko lived in occupied Kiev, and from March 26, 1944 she worked as a nurse in the military field hospital of military unit 47712 and returned to Kiev together with the medical staff who accompanied the medical personnel with the seriously injured.
