Karim Fatih: on whom our children should be equal

Do you know who Karim Fatih is? After reading this article, you will learn about the beautiful Tatar and Soviet poet, who left behind a rich literary heritage. This man wrote what he thinks. His poems are an opportunity to try on another role and look at everyday things from a different angle.

Hero

The boy was born in December 1908 in the village of Aitovo, in Bashkortostan. Little is known about the future poet's childhood. Fatih Karim's biography in Russian has never been published - this is the reason for such scarcity of data about the poet.

Training

The writer's talent manifested itself in him early, but there was no opportunity to develop it. Primary education Karim Fatih received in his native village. In 1922 he became a student of the Belebeyev Pedagogical College. With the teacher's career the guy did not work out, so he goes to the land management college in Kazan. From this moment, Karim begins to cooperate with the print media.

Creation

Creative activity began after training at the Kazan University. Then the guy has already matured in order to take the first independent steps in the literary field. At first he simply collaborated with various newspapers and magazines, occasionally publishing something in them. Over time, this cooperation became more and more tight, and the reader got used to the style of Karimov. After a while, Karim starts working in the editorial office of children's and youth literature. All these turbulent events in his creative life took place in Kazan, where he lived for 10 years - from 1931 to 1941. He started publishing since 1928. The very first collection of his poems was published in 1931 and he was called "The Primary Song."

During his short life Karim Fatih still managed to create such poems, which can be read to this day. He wrote many beautiful rhymes and soul lines. His poems "take" by the fact that they are simple and sincere, and in these two properties is hidden a lot of talent Fatih. He knew how simple it was to serve so magically that it became something unearthly.

The most popular and recognizable for the Russian reader collections of Karimov are "The Seventh Night" and "Noisy Dawn". These collections were published in 1932 and 1933 respectively. What are these poems about? They tell the reader about how Karim Fatih himself is going through what is happening in the country: active processes of collectivization of agriculture and industrialization of the country.

War

Unfortunately, this beautiful author was touched by war. Several of his collections he published at a time when he was at the front. I want to say that he was very fond of his Motherland. That's why when the question arose about her defense, Fatih, without thinking, threw everything in order to help. At the same time throw him was that. He established an excellent life in Kazan, could print and teach at the same time. Such a fate would be too unbearable for him, because to be out of the way when other men defend the Motherland, it was impossible.

On the front, in spite of the general tense situation, Karim Fatih could not forget his calling, so he continued to write poetry. As mentioned above, they were subsequently published. In total during the war he wrote three collections of poems, which were called "Love and Hatred", "Melody and Power" and "Scout's Notes". Verses from the collections were written between 1943 and 1944.

Unfortunately, fate decreed that these were the last collections of Karimov. Already in February 1945, he died in the war. How did it happen? The young man died with dignity and honor, performing a combat mission near Koenigsberg (now the village of Victory in the Kaliningrad region). Karim Fatih was not forgotten - he was buried in a common grave in the same area.

Memory

Fatih Karim's pedigree is not known to us, as his biography is not in Russian, and we have to be content with brief information. And yet his memory was adequately immortalized. Rodina appreciates Karim not only for her protection, but also for literary talent. In Bashkortostan there is a premium named after Karim Fatih. In the city of Bagrationovsk also there is an obelisk monument in honor of the poet, and one street of the city is named after him.

According to numerous requests of residents of the village of Aitov and workers of the collective farm "Dema" for the 30th anniversary of the Great Patriotic War, a museum named after the patriot and poet Fatih Karim began to work there. A bust of a man is also installed in front of the building. In addition, the secondary school and one of the village streets are named after their hero.

But do you remember about the author today? Of course yes! In 2015, Kazan hosted the Republican Scientific and Practical Conference of Schoolchildren named after the poet. The conference was established by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Tatarstan. Interestingly, more than 400 schoolchildren from all over Tatarstan took part in it. In the next few years, thanks to active support at a high state level, the event rose to an interregional children's competition. In the same year, there was a presentation of the book by R. Sachin entitled "The Life and Fate of Fatih Karim". A gala evening dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the death of the poet in the war was held. Fatih Karim, whose biography is given in the article, deserves to be remembered for many more years!
