Fedoseev Grigory Anisimovich, Soviet writer: biography, creativity

Fedoseev Grigory Anisimovich is a famous Russian writer, participant and organizer of numerous expeditions, who devoted his life to geodetic studies of poorly studied regions of Russia. The heroes of the author's works are real people, friends and colleagues, who were verified by time and trials, those with whom in the deserted taiga the last breadcrumb was divided.

Life of Grigory Fedoseev was similar to an adventure novel: interesting, surprising, with sharp turns and events on the verge of survival. Primordial taiga, inaccessible rocks, wild animals and native natives became habitual surroundings. He first opened landscapes, inaccessible at that time to an ordinary person. The geodetic record of the indefatigable researcher and experienced surveyor Fedoseev, who managed to close white spots on the map of his country, includes the Urals, the Kola Peninsula, Western Siberia, Transbaikalia, the Far East.

Fedoseev Grigory Anisimovich: biography

Caucasus Mountains, Stavropol Territory, the village of Cardonik. January 19, 1899 in a peasant family was born Fedoseev Grigory Anisimovich, whose books are read with pleasure by the modern generation. It is the mountains that will become the love and deed of the life of the famous writer, but only the mountains of the Eastern Sayan stretching from the Yenisei to Baikal for a thousand kilometers.

First there was a school, then a gymnasium, a service in the army and a polytechnic institute in Krasnodar. And then the engineering and geodesic practice began, in which Grigory Anisimovich Fedoseev succeeded not only as an experienced specialist, but also as a talented writer who managed to achieve truly mountain peaks in literary art. His works, based on notes from diaries, were published in many languages of the world, and the writer himself became a singer of the wild nature, the personification of the wandering spirit and an indefatigable romanticist who proudly glorified male friendship.

Feature of literary style of the writer

All Fedoseev's works are written in the first person, but none of them mention the author's name. The structure of direct speech is so masterly that there is not the slightest hint of a proper name. The narrator constantly remains in the background, although in the narrated events he takes the most direct part. An incredible impression is made by the author's lyrical digressions, where any description of nature is inextricably linked with the plot of works, the most unusual of which is the story-tale "Labeled." The style of its writing, which has never before been used in Russian literature, is interesting: the narrative is on behalf of wolves, whose actions and thoughts are based on two actions - "hunt down and attack." Only an attentive observer and naturalist, who was Fedoseev Gregory Anisimovich, could so accurately depict the life of the taiga, still untouched by man. A small work in volume, over which the author worked all his life, is read in one breath.

Love of all life: Eastern Sayan

The first work of the author - "We go on the Eastern Sayan", based on diary notes, immediately after the publication became surprisingly popular and was printed by many publishers. Unavailable ridges of the mountain range, hidden under low clouds hanging sharp peaks, breaking down at a frenzied speed down waterfalls and a man with his perseverance, purposefulness, courage. The expedition in these mountains was very difficult, almost on the verge of a catastrophe: all its participants moved with difficulty, food stocks were over a few weeks ago. People sent for help, broke on the shiver (stony recoil) of the river Kizir. Nevertheless, the path was passed. Following him followed the same dangerous and difficult, but necessary for science expedition.

A large collection of plants, birds, skins, animal horns from the Far East and Siberia was donated to the Academy of Sciences Grigory Fedoseyev. It is the Eastern Sayan that preserves the ashes of the writer (according to his wishes), and the Eden Pass, located in the spurs of the Grandiose - the highest peak of the mountain range, bears the name Fedoseev.

Yambuy: why did people disappear?

According to the story of Grigory Fedoseyev "The Evil Spirit of Yambuya" by director B. Buneyev in 1978, the same film was made, which became the leader of the film distribution and was awarded the Jack London prize. The events of the story unfold in the 40s of the 20th century in the hard-to-reach areas of Eastern Siberia. In the process of geodetic research, three members of the expedition disappeared one by one, not far from the Yambuya Ridge. It turned out that the evil spirit of Yambuya is a huge cannibal bear that took the lives of the inhabitants of this region. Fedoseev and Kararbakh had to arrange a dangerous hunt for this monster.

Fedoseev Grigory Anisimovich: books

A feature of the writer's talent Grigory Anisimovich is that his books are read in one breath. Some people even thought that someone else was writing for Fedoseyev. The truth is that the wife of the author - Elena I. Glosinskaya - reprinted all his manuscripts for the husband, since the handwriting of the latter was very illegible and difficult to read.

"Death will wait for me," "Pashka from the Bear's Log," "The Path of Trials" - works of the author, whose literary talent briskly gained momentum, came out one after another. During his lifetime Fedoseev was often published in the "Roman-Gazeta" and the magazine "Siberian Lights", under the heading "Notes of Experienced People." The real number of bindery books has come out, while foreign publications have published the Russian writer very actively.

In search of Pasha Kopeikin

There was a case when to the daughter of Grigory Fedoseyev Vere came a wealthy Frenchman who read the story "Pashka from the Bear's Log" and wished to certainly find the hero of such a remarkable work. Having traveled all the settlements in the Sayan Mountains and spent a lot of money searching for money, he could not find the trace of Pasha Kopeikin and decided for himself that such a person did not exist at all and the hero Fedoseev simply invented. So, in bitter disappointment the foreigner left. After a short time Vera examined her father's archives and came across an old photo with a fair-haired boy standing by the fire among the surveyors. On his back was an inscription made by the mother's hand: "Pashka."

The final work of Fedoseev

In memory of Evenk-guide Ulukitkane, a faithful friend, Fedoseev wrote the book "The Last Fire", as it turned out, his final work. The heart of a brave man, who overcame thousands of kilometers in inhuman conditions and wrote thousands of lines for many years, could not stand excessive stress. June 29, 1968 Grigory Anisimovich Fedoseev was gone. At that time the writer was in Moscow.
