Peter Davydov: biography of the poet

The world wide web often gives its users the opportunity to be amazed. This time the lovers of history and literature had to be slightly surprised at the confusion that arose in connection with the name of Peter Davydov.

On the one hand, this name is rightly proud of Russian history, because it belongs to the genus, whose representatives at one time or another glorified their homeland by their deeds. The Davidov family has deep roots. Their prescription dates back to the period of the birth of the Russian nobility. A successful courtier and prominent official who lived at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, Pyotr Lvovich Davydov is a relative of the heroes of the Patriotic War of 1812 . To his family also relates a whole galaxy of glorious fighters with the Russian autocracy - the Decembrists. It refers to the name of the famous hero, the partisan Denis Davydov, who famously beat the French in 1812, freeing his enemies from his native land. The hero of the war became famous also as the author of charming romances, from which the souls died and the hearts of more than one generation of listeners trembled. Peter Davydov is a hero cousin.

Another Davydov

But today in the networks an extraordinary popularity is enjoyed by another Peter Davydov - a poet who writes poems mostly of erotic content. You can guess that the erotomaniac fans, of course, would like to add greatness to their idol. But you have to hold back ambitions a little. Their Peter Davidov is a poet, certainly talented, but different. He has nothing to do with the family of the famous Davydovs.

The modern poet Peter Davydov, whose name is associated with the name of the famous hussar and poet Denis Davydov, writes works that appeal to the response of several other senses of admirers, rather than the emotional romances of his first-name surname who lived in the 19th century. His poetry is controversial and belongs to the category, as they say, "to the lover."

To argue about tastes is, as you know, ungrateful. In this article, we do not set ourselves moralizing tasks. We will try to figure out who this is - Peter Davydov? Rather, who of them is who? Who from the namesakes glorified domestic history in the past, and who brings his contribution to the development of Russian-language poetry today?

Petr Ivanovich Davydov

About our contemporary Petr Ivanovich Davydov, who is a poet, it should be said that he distinguishes himself from his namesake, as readers already probably had time to notice, a patronymic. He is Ivanovich. This should be noted for those who, bumping into the Internet for identical names of names, do not bother to understand, but believes that he is dealing with information about the same person. But this is not so.

Poet Peter Davydov, whose biography is represented rather sparingly, is our contemporary. The date of his birth on different sites is indicated only by the number and month, the year is not specified. It seems that the authors of the articles reprinted the same mistake made once by the poet on the inattention inherent in creative people.

Perhaps, this can be attributed to the theme "Peter Davydov: interesting facts." If desired, fans could make this particular detail fantasy, develop and build the poet's absent-mindedness into the rank, for example, of genius - why be modest? So often happens with the fans of sensations, which in actual fact are blown. But we will not do this.

Israel, Natanya

Peter Davydov (biography of the poet contains this information) was born on August 18 ... in Baku. About his age can be judged only approximately, given that at the end of the institute he for several years worked on the profession - an electronics engineer, and then fought in journalism as a correspondent of TASS.

He created a lot of humorous stories. Biography reports that in 1989, a collection of Davydov's stories entitled "Good Sign" was published in Baku.

Denoted in the networks as "the author of poems, the poet," Peter Davydov (biography points to this) resides at this time in Israel (Natanya).

What is known about it?

It is known about the poet Davydov that he is the owner of the firm "Agency Nathan and Peter" (consulting). Mostly writes poetry on erotic themes. Galina Aizendorf creates music for his poems. There are also songs of his own composition.

The poet is married. His wife Olga is a philologist by education. She is the first reader, and also the editor-in-chief of his poems.

About verses

Poetry poems on the Internet are the most contradictory responses. Many of his frank poetry is considered scandalous. Readers believe that intimate moments of life should remain so and they can not be put on public display. This is a kind of "sacrament of two", the authors of many reviews believe, why devote to it strangers?

Their opponents call opponents hypocrites, emphasizing the significant educational, educational and enlightening role of Davydov's poetry. They believe that it is very difficult, "not breaking for vulgarity", to write erotic poetry. Davydov, in their opinion, is very good at it.

Many talk about their lives, stressing that Davydov's verses help them to maintain a tender relationship with their "second half", supporting the feelings "as they were on the first day" (evening, night) of the meeting.

Sometimes fans of poetic erotica do not understand friends: why do you need to write so often to the "esemaski" wife and constantly make her a declaration of love? "To understand this, we must read the poems of Peter Davydov," the initiates answer them. The poet is thankful for teaching me to love, to do what is pleasing to someone you love, and always remember him (about her).

"Let's say something about Victory ..."

Peter Davydov writes beautiful poems and songs about the war. This topic is very close to the poet. Many of his works are dedicated to the glorification of heroes of the Great Patriotic War, their memory, veterans, Victory Day on May 9. In his poems, the poet often recalls the father who died in the war.

Once he confessed that he was close to the military issue, he feels it very warmly, because he was born and raised in the Soviet country, writes and thinks in Russian, and his father was a soldier of that unforgettable war.

A hot response in the poet's work was found in modern and difficult events, in which the native land was drawn by the will of circumstances. "Russia does not need war!" Writes the poet. He gives an explanation of everything that is happening today (referring to the events connected with Ukraine): his homeland "wants respect," he assures, "that this world be considered with her." Peter Davydov is confident in the great future of Russia, he is proud that Centuries "different nations connect with it" their aspirations and hopes.

"Poems - this is my life ..."

In an interview Peter Davydov told the facts of life, the details of which have long interested his fans. Speaking of himself, the poet is modest and prone to self-irony:

In ordinary life, I'm smart very

Normal genius, neither give nor take ...

The story of his life is reduced to describing the process of creativity, because, as the poet said, poetry is his life. He started writing long ago. Verses were created "very different", but the poet almost did not publish them. Other articles were published, stories, scripts for the satirical newsreel. As the poet confessed, he himself did not expect that he would write such frank works, although he always liked everything connected with erotica. It turns out that all his work is devoted to his wife.

Many note that Davydov's verses are permeated with a joyful mood, optimism. According to him, it is the wife who forbids him to write about the gloomy and sad ...

"Give yourself evenings of love ..."

Davydov writes about love, about eroticism and sex. He has poetic electronic collections containing works whose names speak for themselves: "Love is the most important thing in the world", "A woman named Autumn", "A necklace of fallen stars", "Erotic gift to a man", "Pose No. 69" ...

The poet invites all comers to "give themselves evenings of love" to him on the pages where he sings "about caresses," writes "about the night." And also - in his "Diary" with nice and touching "stories" on the same subject.

"Poems are my children - forgive me ..."

That's really really, the poet has to apologize to his poetry ... Reviews on the networks indicate an ambiguous perception of his works by readers. Someone admires his poems frankly, there are some who his poetry sincerely scandals.

It should be noted that some of Davydov's erotic verses are so frank that not all readers (as is known from the reviews) manage to finish reading them. Someone does not allow him to read his modesty, someone even remembers that it would not hurt the contemporaries to borrow a little chastity from their grandfathers and fathers, someone has a Christian view on the way of a positive perception of such poetry. However, it was suggested that all these features should be regarded as the shortcomings of upbringing, the complexities with which it is necessary to work for a psychologist.

In this article, we do not undertake to judge the degree of someone's rightness. Readers have the opportunity to independently learn about the poet's works and decide: maybe, indeed, if modern approaches are required, should one get rid of modesty, shyness, chastity, as from remnants? And at the same time and think: maybe, in general, we should give up all shame and conscience - well, them! Long live "freedom and emancipation"!

True, there are other extremes. Those who are deprived of the above-mentioned "shortcomings" and "complexes" relish the poetic and erotic heights of Peter Davydov's creativity, bursting into networks with such vulgarity, from which the soul withers. The moderators had to delete some of the reviews - obviously, they can not be read without embarrassment.

Awe or -? ..

Traditionally it is believed that poetry is an area of high. When the soul trembles with delight, when it rises high, impressed by the description of some beauty or manifestation of true humanity. The vocation of erotic poetry is the education of the beauty of feelings and feelings, subtlety and grace in the relationship between a man and a woman.

But where is the guarantee that such poetry is read only by mature individuals and is everyone perceived adequately?

What lessons will be learned from it, for example, minors? Will a young man, raised in such poetry, be ready for the high and beautiful? Is it possible to be sure that erotic poetry will help him appreciate the beauty of the described feelings? What instead of emotional trembling before the beautiful will not win the wandering hormones in the body, and poems "about love, erotica and sex" elementary will not cause other - not spiritual, but all known physiological - shudders?

It's not an idle question

In connection with the conversation about erotic poetry, I want to say about the alarm, which is shared in the networks of many authors of the reviews. Users are concerned that, as they say, a certain substitution occurred in the minds of our contemporaries: instead of the cult of feelings, a cult of sensuality is being introduced. The media, film and television are thoughtlessly (or deliberately?) Replicating such an approach, spreading false priorities. As a result, young people do not care about the continuation of the family and the upbringing of children, but cherish their own animal sexuality.

The problem in society is not new. Indeed, fans of erotic art (which includes the poetry of Peter Davydov) continue to frenziedly prove that in Russia, unlike the USSR, "sex is!"? Well, thank God. Keep it up. Those who try to object to this offensive and oppose to it something platonic and purely spiritual, are declared at best as hypocrites and hypocrites. In the worst - they are called complex, impaired and generally impotent.

Well, let everything go as it goes. Let the triumphant victory of the adherents of all sorts of erotic subtleties and tricks. But it is possible that there will come a day when Russians will humbly observe how the triumphant "march of equality" is triumphantly moving along Red Square (similar attempts have already been made in Ukraine).
