Poems from different years. Andrey Novikov

IN LOVELY MEMORY OF ANDREY NOVIKOV

A wonderful person, publisher and poet Andrei Novikov (1974-2014) died.
When this happened, I was abroad, I could not immediately respond, I could not take part in the funeral ceremony or memorial evenings.
And I have something to say. We knew each other for ten years.
Andrei was an extremely worthy person, he selflessly loved poetry and poets, he published many books, issues of the magazine “Modern Poetry” (at one time I published it), he wrote poetry himself, but he never promoted himself, which is completely unusual. I remember his occasional publications, in particular in Literaturnaya Gazeta.
Together with Andrey, we published several books, for example, poems by Anna Logvinova. He financed the book, and my publishing house, West Consulting, did the layout, layout, and we printed the collection.
And then this book received the prestigious Moscow Account award. Evgeniy Abramovich Bunimovich presented us (the publishers) with an honorary diploma. And Andrey - generously! - gave this diploma to me, although he had no less rights to it than I did. In the end, he who pays calls the tune.
One day Andrey and I had a fight. He spoke unflatteringly and rudely about my writing on the FB pages. He probably wrote everything correctly and fairly, but, of course, it was unpleasant for me.
Literally two weeks later, Andrei himself came up to me during the reception that took place after the presentation of the Delvig Prize, and publicly apologized to me. We hugged like brothers. And they never quarreled again.
Just like that - kind, noble, generous and very talented! — I remember Andrey Novikov.
Eternal memory to him!
Today we publish poems from the poet’s creative heritage.

POEMS OF DIFFERENT YEARS

Green Pushkin

It's spring again.
The days themselves wanted to live longer,
Moving further and further away from us
Sadness.
Suddenly on Pushkin Square
The monument blossomed
Where people meet.

Woke up from hibernation
Laughing, I looked at the sun,
Fragrantly swollen
Green tender buds,
rustled
And above him
Dazzling sky silk
He flashed back.

And a magical kaleidoscope
The picture is crumbling
As soon as he shakes
Curly green mane.
And people look in amazement
And greedily
This is a wonderful wonder to drink.

And the sun is above it
Shines
And gives it to the world
Peace.

What a world
If you don’t see it, you won’t imagine it,
While you wait impatiently
Beloved.

“Laying one leg behind the other,
Velimir is sitting. He's alive."
Kharms

It has been disturbing the mind for more than a century
and guards.
Life will treat you more harshly,
but you have to live.

And the world that he visibly built,
stands like Rome.
As if there were three invisible
are watching him.

The sun served him like
and bread and shelter.
And were a joyful catch
good, love.

All his belongings, clothes, utensils -
Paper bag.
And he got up from the grass in the morning
And he walked on.

Like an uncalculating heir,
opening sesame,
he lived every day as if it were his last,
and died himself.

Slava Kharchenko

Someone was crucified with lead on the wall,
When the snowstorms swept the country.
For some reason this December snow
It was blacker than the earth itself.

And the wind took someone else’s things without shame,
People lost fingers and arms.
But there were no those who wanted to cry,
Everyone wanted to play the game.

And joy baptized the world with a grin,
Mired in the troubles of his gods,
who used to be people
But no one remembered that.

The sky, squinting a gypsy eye,
He stole the stars to hide the picture,
How they filmed secretly from a stake at night
The corpse of someone who was alien to the game.

Only the New Year will subside
The Slavs will greet you
The first holiday of the year.
Morning confusion
The belfry of the streets will ring out,
The bad dreams will pass.

The quiet courtyard will be indignant;
Through the windows of my room
The whole celebration is visible:
How, surrounding the hospital,
Christmas trees in white coats
Celebrate Christmas.

Akrosonet

Summer with you begins in February.
Frost on the glass, trees in sheep's coats.
Light colors - early winter watercolors.
Even the cold seems to be subsiding.

Your name is purple, your bangs are red.
You look with brown eyes - a gentle pool.
And then - to breathe the same dawn with you.
Know that it cannot be otherwise.

And lilacs are pouring from the bushes like spring.
The heat foreshadows a hot summer of fun.
The ring of months sends its dots and dashes...

Time can't take anything away from us!
In the fall we will also wear silver.
And kiss with relaxed lips.

Andrey Novikov (1974— 2014) - poet, editor. He was the editor-in-chief of the magazine “Modern Poetry” and the head of the Internet portal “Literary Poster”.

Poet, prose writer, publicist was born on December 26, 1961 in the village. Alabuzino, Bezhetsky district, Tver (Kalinin) region. He spent his childhood in Lipetsk, where he graduated from secondary school No. 17. After serving in the army, he entered the Literary Institute. A. M. Gorky to the Faculty of Poetry (seminar by V. Kostrov and V. Milkov). After graduating from the institute in 1990, he worked as a correspondent, executive secretary in the newspapers Lipetsk Izvestia, Lipetskaya Gazeta, Provincial Reporter, special correspondent for RIA Novosti in the Lipetsk region, and editor-in-chief of the newspaper Gorod Lipetsk.
The first serious publication took place in the magazine “Rise” in 1984. Poems were published in district, regional and central newspapers: “Leninskoe Znamya”, “Leninets”, “Lipetskaya Gazeta”, “Lipetsk Izvestia”, “Young Communard” (Voronezh), “Literary Gazette”, “Moskovsky Komsomolets”; in the magazines “Student Meridian”, “Literary Study”, “Friendship”, “Young Guard”, “Literary Kyrgyzstan”, “Workers and Peasants Correspondent”, “Working Shift” (Minsk), “Chayan” (Kazan); in the almanacs: “Origins”, “Poetry”, “Poetry Day”; in the collective collections “Handshake” (Voronezh, 1987), “Tournament” (M., 1987), “Debut in Sovremennik” (M., 1990), “Young Guard-85”, “Tverskoy Boulevard, 25” (M. .,1990).
He published his first poetry collection, “Among the Herbs,” in Voronezh in 1988 on the recommendation of S. Mikhalkov. A year later, he became a participant in the 9th All-Union Meeting of Young Writers (seminar by V. Prokushev), at which his poems were highly appreciated. As a result of the meeting in 1990, the “Library of the Magazine” “Young Guard” published a “book within a book” “Ancient Smile” (27 poems) with a foreword by V. Kostrov. Currently, the works are published in the literary magazine “Petrovsky Most”, “Rise”, “Poetry Day” (anniversary issue 2016) and are included in the book “Writers of the Lipetsk Region. Anthology. XXI century" (2015).
In 1992 he was admitted to the Writers' Union of Russia. The third book of poems, “The Monkey Emperor,” was published in Lipetsk in 1993. I was noticed by the famous critic Vladimir Slavetsky, who wrote about my work in two of his books (“Continued Letters”, “Russian Poetry of the 80-90s of the 20th Century”) and several articles. Famous writers V. Tsybin and V. Kostrov wrote about my poems. The fourth book, “Crossroads,” was published in Voronezh in 2016.
Since April 2015, he has headed the regional branch of the Russian Writers' Union. In the same year, he was awarded the literary prize of the Petrovsky Most magazine in the Prose and Drama category for the story “Writer Captainkin” and a selection of stories “Frogs in Batter.”
In 2016, he was awarded a Certificate of Honor from the Union of Writers of Russia, a Certificate of Honor from the Department of Culture and Art of the Lipetsk Region, and the Large Silver Gumilyov Medal “For fidelity to the creative traditions of the Silver Age.”

Novikov Andrey Nikitich (Nikitovich) - prose writer, journalist.

Born into a poor peasant family. He started his “universities” as a shepherd boy. He studied at a rural school (according to other sources, Novikov was taught to read and write by a rural deacon). Then he was a digger, a woodcutter, and a loader. Called up for active military service, he served in the war against the Teutons as a private (initially in the 2nd Army of General A.V. Samsonov, and participated in the inglorious campaign in East Prussia in August 1914). In March (according to other sources - June) 1917 he joined the RSDLP (b). After October, Novikov, a member of the regiment's soldiers' committee, was sent to Balakovo, Samara province. (now Saratov region). Here he became a member of the city government and became the first editor of Balakovo’s Izvestia (1919).

In 1923-25 he worked in the editorial offices of magazines and newspapers in Voronezh ("Voronezh Commune"), Ivanovo-Voznesensk ("Workers' Region"), Bryansk ("Bryansky Rabochiy"). From the spring of 1925 he lived in Moscow. He worked at the publishing house “Peasant Newspaper” (including in the editorial offices of “Batrak”, “Peasant Radio Newspaper”). Until Oct. 1931 was a member of the literary group "Pereval".

Novikov's first book, a collection of stories and short stories "The Master's Court" (1928), did not attract attention. The writer became notorious thanks to the satirical story “Causes of the Origin of Nebulae” published the following year (with the support of M. Gorky) (Krasnaya Nov. 1929. No. 2) - about the triumph of bureaucracy “in one single country” (the main character, a communist, ends up because of this, life is suicide). Of particular interest to the story, written under the obvious influence of Plato’s “City of Gradov,” are the hoax epigraphs belonging to Novikov’s longtime friend and fellow countryman Andrei Platonov. The story was approved by the critic-Perevalets A. Lezhnev, who compared Novikov with J. Hasek (On the way to the revival of satire // Literary newspaper. 1929. April 22), and unconditionally rejected by V. Blum (Will satire be revived? // Ibid. May 27). The thesis he put forward about the objective counter-revolutionary nature of satire in Soviet conditions prompted M.A. Bulgakov to write a letter to the government (Stalin?). The discussion that then took place at the Polytechnic Museum, “Do we need satire?” (1930) resolved the issue positively, which, however, did not affect further censorship actions. 6 years earlier, A.K. Voronsky was unable to publish a similar story by N.N. Nikitin “Count”. The story was eventually published, but the author never remembered it.

In Feb. 1930 Novikov, as part of the Pravda brigade, made a trip to the places of “accelerated collectivization”. Perceiving the arrival of the tractor in the village as a revolution in the peasant economy, Novikov openly opposed the “excesses.” Not a single essay of his was published in the newspaper, and the one published later on Sat. “The Racing Field” was subjected to devastating criticism (More vigilance! // Literary newspaper. 1931. September 10 (before the title “V-r”, i.e. V.V. Goltsev (?)); Berezov P. Under the Mask //Proletarian Avant-Garde. 1932. No. 2, etc.).Novikov’s story “The Plant for Public Improvement” (October 1931. No. 3) is dedicated to the theme of the destruction of personality in the conditions of the “great turning point” - a kind of continuation of “The Reasons for the Origin of Nebulae.” Novikov’s next book was “Genealogy of Many Generations” (1935), consisting of “The Tale of the Kamarnitsa Muzhik,” written in the style of Shchedrin’s “History of a City” and dedicated to the peasant uprising under Catherine II, as well as “Chronicle of a provincial town” - about the events in Balakovo and the Chapaev brothers and a colorless story about a happy collective farm life - “Meeting at the Well”. In the same year, the first (illustrated) edition of the novel “Military Feats of Simpletons” (2nd ed. - 1936) appeared - about the death of Samson’s army in the Masurian swamps. It was this novel that A.I. Solzhenitsyn had in mind when he wrote in the preface to “August the Fourteenth” that before it events were portrayed “not like that.” Criticism reacted quite harshly to the adventures of the “Russian Schweik”: Vl. Nikonov’s article “Shift of Concepts” in “Znamya” (1935. No. 8) and “Empty anecdotes or wicked satire?” in “Fiction” (1935. No. 10), “Military anecdotes” (Literary Leningrad. 1935. No. 35. August 1). The Smolensk edition of “The Tale of the Kamarnitsa Peasant” (1936) became the writer’s last book.

In 1937-39, the magazine published the cycle “Volga Novels” (30 days. 1937. No. 8 and 12), the anti-Stalin parable “Feast at the Lord” (Ibid. 1938. No. 6; review by S. Nagorny “Hollow Weights” // Literary newspaper 1938. July 15), “At the monument” (about V.I. Chapaev), “Big Dipper”, “Lime blossom” (Collective farmer. 1939. No. 2,4,6). The large novel “Residence of the Freethinkers,” the stories “Kustarislova” and “The Last Letter” (RGALI) remained in the manuscripts.

In 1940, Novikov was arrested (the reason is unknown; the “Case” contains only one document - the statement of the writer N.V. Chertova in 1938 that in the House of Writers Novikov loudly asked her: “Have you heard that ten thousand Bolsheviks wrote a letter to Stalin with demand to stop repression?").

At the end of July 1941, when there were persistent rumors that the Germans were about to take Moscow, the systematic extermination of prisoners took place, and Novikov was shot. Posthumously rehabilitated after the 20th Party Congress. For the 100th anniversary of the writer’s birth in the village of Semyonovka, Paninsky district, Voronezh regional, a room-museum was equipped in the library.

In 1992, A. V. Novikov was admitted to the Writers' Union of Russia. His third book of poems, “The Monkey Emperor,” was published in Lipetsk in 1993. The poet was noticed by the famous critic Vladimir Slavetsky, who wrote about him in two of his books (“Continued Letters”, “Russian Poetry of the 80-90s of the 20th Century”) and several articles. In particular, V. Slavetsky wrote about the book of poems “The Monkey Emperor”: “In the very imagery one can feel the drama of the worldview, the fragility, and unreliability of human existence in the world. There is something piercingly truthful, bordering at the same time with theatrical phantasmagoria... It is not surprising that in “The Monkey Emperor”, this feast of colors, a celebration of fine art, we also feel a certain strain, which was indicated by the reviewer of the poet Vl. Tsybin as a “terrible picture of metaphysical loneliness,” quoting the last stanza:
They carry copper shields,
The walls of Lhasa darken in the distance...
But like torn meat -
His eyes are from emptiness."

According to critics, A. Novikov’s poems belong to the category of intellectual poetry. To read and understand them, you must have a fairly broad historical and cultural knowledge base.
