Poet Ryzhy Boris Borisovich with his work captures all the most profound experiences of the Russian nation in the period of the collapse of the USSR. Called the last poet of the empire, Red was born in 1974, on September 8. During his short life the poet wrote more than a thousand poems. Today, many people wondered who Boris Red is. The biography, cause of death and creativity of this man excites the minds of his admirers.

Boris the Red: biography

The poet's parents were intelligent people. Father, Boris Petrovich Red, was a professor. He received a doctorate for geological and mineralogical research. The mother of the poet, Margarita Mikhailovna, worked as a doctor-epidemiologist.

In early 1980, Boris Petrovich Ryzhy and Margarita Mikhailovna change their permanent place of residence and move from Chelyabinsk to Sverdlovsk. They are settling in at a new address: Vtorchermet, ul. Titova, etc. 44. With them came a six-year-old son - Boris the Red. The person's biography will now be connected with the city of Sverdlovsk for the rest of his life, which has become for him a new home.

School hobbies of the poet

Boris starts school in the outskirts of Sverdlovsk. The first three years Red with passion is fond of aeromodelling. Being a primary school student, Boris Jr. often puts words into rhymes, jokingly and in free form. Sister recalls the time when, before going to sleep, Borya spilled out all the energy that was accumulating in him with rhymes.

The future poet was a creative child. The fascination with aeromodelling was replaced by interest in modeling plasticine. Unlike many of his friends, the boy was very interested in this kind of creativity.

At the age of 11, the beginning poet Boris Ryzhy went on a trip to Lake Itkul together with his sister. During the time spent there, he learned to swim.

Injury due to curiosity

A few weeks later Red built a self-made parachute and conducted a test experiment, jumping from a tall tree. As a result, the young poet broke his hand and began to be interested in biology.

Travel to the homeland of ancestors

An important event in the formation of the personality of the poet was the trip to the motherland of the ancestors on the maternal line. Boris Petrovich and Margarita Mikhailovna, along with their 12-year-old son, went to the village of the Oryol region called Skripovo.

In those same days, Boris the Red first looked so deeply at his roots. Tales of the war and the story of his great-grandfathers helped him to better understand himself and his ancestry. Then the poet first thought about the history of mankind. About where the beginning of suffering, and what is beauty.

Books that the poet read

The first 12 years of his life, Boris the Red always received his father's attention and care. This was very much reflected later in his work. Boris Petrovich often read to his son the poems of such poets as:

• A. Block.
• V. Bryusov.
• M. Lermontov.
• S. Yesenin.
• F. Tyutchev.
• A. Pushkin.

Redhead was very interested in the literary work of Russian poets. The elder sister read Nekrasov's tales to him.

In 1987, Boris Red and Olga pay great attention to Esenin. They often read poetry by Vladimir Mayakovsky out loud. Boris with great interest immersed in reading the novel M. Bulgakov "Master and Margarita." He is still under the impression of the idea of this work for a long time. Particularly addicted to the image of Pontius Pilate.

In the same year, Boris has an interest in musical art. Redhead begins to listen to music and develops a rumor. This experience inspires him so much that he decides to make his own attempts to record the composition.

Reading Mayakovsky and first love

In 1988, Ginger Boris first saw the poems of Joseph Brodsky. Such authors as V. Mayakovsky and I. Brodsky, a fourteen-year-old boy, always read with special ecstasy.

Almost at the same age, Boris met his first youthful love - the neighbor's girl Julia.

Attitude towards death

By the end of the ninth grade, the poet Boris Ryzhy was a well-educated young man. He always felt a genuine interest in everything new. Unlike most of his peers Boris was a comprehensively developed teenager. A zeal for understanding the unknown was manifested in everything. Even the love of reading Russian literature did not stop him from winning prizes in boxing, karate and judo competitions.

Boris was as open as the brave people are. In his life there is a turning point, a strong shock - the suicide has thrown out from a window of the next house. From such news, Boris experienced an unfamiliar alarm earlier. Being a very intelligent and well-read youth, the young man had a good idea of the meaning of life and the frailty of being. Boris Red can not get rid of such a heavy thought. Perhaps then he could not understand one thing: what does it mean - courage or cowardice - that motivates a person to cease to exist in this world?

Since then, the young man's attitude toward death and the view of values has changed forever. It was at that moment that the beginning poet Boris Ryzhy began to describe his view of the world and the meaninglessness of fear with verses.

Prize for voluntary death

Boris the Red passed a long way from his first poem to recognition and reward. The poet visited abroad and saw the life of other people. She was strikingly different from life in Yekaterinburg. Boris married, and soon his son Artyom was born. In 2000 he turned 7 years old.

In the last years of his life, Boris studied at the academy, wrote a lot, repeatedly his poems were published. Unusual creativity of Red was necessary to many to taste. The lines of these poems were scraped to the bone, and Boris understood this.

Together with a friend and poet Roman Tyagunov he decides to create something sensational. Young poets announce the All-Russian competition, which will determine the author of the best poem about eternity. Shortly after this, a special organizing committee is set up to award the "Marble" Prize.

The guys were going to make a literary PR for Yekaterinburg. The idea was based on the belief that the cherished desire of each author is a written book or recognition of his work during his lifetime, but in the form of a monument. Having shown a little ingenuity, Roman put forward a proposal that will be able to combine these two desires.

It was decided that the reward for the best lines about eternity will serve as a marble monument in the form of a book on the front side of which they will be carved.

In search of a sponsor, Boris and Roman turned to a firm for the manufacture of marble tombstones. Of course, there were those who were suspicious of the superstitious venture. But a true poet, meditating on death, such concepts as superstition, absolutely do not fear. As it was intended, the undertaker did his job.

Roman Tyagunov soon died. Strong shock was experienced by Boris the Red. The cause of the death of a friend remains a mystery. The official version is suicide. Tyagunov threw himself out of the window of his apartment. Many thought it to be a jumper, but there is a claim that Roman had guests that evening-there were four unwashed mugs on the table.

At that time, Boris the Red was experiencing a black depression. Photo Tyagunov and shouted wild silence. The poet then wrote these lines: "There is pain in all the rooms, and alcohol does not help. Forever in my memory, your features are distorted, but it's not you. "

Four months later Boris the Red was found dead. His body was found hanged on the balcony door in the parents' apartment. There was a note nearby, which soon disappeared. It read: "I loved you all, no fools. Your Boris. "

Documentary about the poet

Boris Ryzhy died on May 7, 2001. During his short life, he learned a lot and gave us no less in his poems. In 2009, a short but rich story of the life of the Sverdlovsk poet interested the young filmmaker from the Netherlands, Alain Van Der Horst. Without thinking twice, she decides to make a documentary film in order to capture the environment in which the Russian poet B. Ryzhy was born, lived and died.

The film is called "Boris the Red." The biography, cause of death and creativity of the main character are shown whenever possible. It's because the people who are asked questions before the video camera do not meet the film crew with warmth and cordiality. To my great regret, even the neighbors around the house are not all able to recall the fact that such a wonderful person as Boris Red was living with them.

Perhaps that's why the main idea of the film, sadly, was the filmed footage of people who once lived in a powerful and ideological power called the USSR. And now they all can not understand how their values are contained. Young people drink and drink drugs. Many men either serve a prison sentence, or die at a young age, without knowing anything about themselves and their abilities.
