Dragoon life story. Dragoon - actor
They react the same way to the word "dragoon". No one will remember about the cavalry army, capable of fighting on foot, the proverb “This is our dragoon field” (option: “The dragoon runs, the earth trembles, and if you look back, it lies in the mud”). "Deniska, Deniska's stories," faces part in a satisfied smile. "Vasya's dad is strong in mathematics! .." And the most advanced will say with Raikin's intonation: “Boom to change, boom!” But here's what's strange - about famous writer Dragunsky not so much is known.
Viktor Yuzefovich was born overseas, but he spent his childhood on the Sozh River in Belarusian Gomel. Father died of typhus, stepfather, a red commander, died in civilian life. The writer's widow Alla Vasilievna recalled: he “I have always been the ringleader in all games. In the evenings, friends made their way to the park of Prince Paskevich (of course, without tickets). There were performances: the artists sang verses, danced the then fashionable step dance, but simply tap dance. Victor learned couplets, learned to tap dance and staged his performances, which gathered the whole street ... "
In his youth, Victor worked “buoy maker, saddler, boatman, turner. Later he was circus clown, an actor of theater and cinema, the head of a wonderful little satirical theater "Blue Bird" ... " From the forties he wrote sketches, feuilletons, miniatures for the stage and arena. Dragunsky also became famous as the author of the words of the song to the music of A. Tsfasman "Three Waltzes", famously performed by Claudia Shulzhenko. 
This cheerful clockwork man lived in wonderful world. A world where transparent trolleybuses drive around, where dogs and counselors are called Lucy, where green leopards are found, where the best greeting is “healthy!”, and the highest praise is “healthy!”. Grew up with Viktor Yuzefovich younger son. And this boy walking under the table had his own credo - “What I love ... And what I don’t like”, under which anyone who at least once in their life will sign without hesitation “... hung on my father’s knee, like linen on a fence, ... listened to a beetle digging in a box, ... grimaced in front of a mirror, as if Petrushka from puppet theater and ... loved horses for their beautiful kind faces ".
Well, how not to write about such a child! And in 1959, the collection “He is alive and glowing…” is published. The writer did not have to invent anything. The father in these stories is Viktor Yuzefovich himself, and Deniska is ... Deniska, who, having matured, became a successful writer, in whom it is difficult to find the features of a former boy who can selflessly fall in love "girl on the ball" and lie about "fire in the outbuilding".
Dragunsky wrote down funny (“The Enchanted Letter”, “Tell Me About Singapore”), sometimes not very much (“Old Sailor”), and sometimes even sad monologues-thoughts of Deniska (“The Man with a Blue Face”). Of course, there was enough fiction in the stories, but cases with "chicken broth" or "knights" could well have happened.
As already mentioned, Dragunsky changed many occupations. During the war, he was a member of the militia. The hero of the "adult" story "He Fell on the Grass" is clearly less years old than the writer. But Mitya Korolev felt and experienced, like the author himself. Both happened to be under “with the cold-blooded fire of the Fritz and experience how a friend dies, how his “living human animal” grows cold ...”
There was a Dragoon and a clown. Ginger! In Nikolai Vetrov from "Today and Daily" you can also find the features of Viktor Yuzefovich. Children have always been the main audience for circus performers: “Not a single day without work for children!”
And Viktor Yuzefovich worked for them. Alla Dragunskaya: he “often spoke on the radio with his stories, often visited orphanages, boarding schools, schools, libraries. He read his funny works wonderfully - after all, in the recent past he was an actor.
Dragunsky often received letters from young readers and always tried to answer them. He ended each of his messages with the motto: “FRIENDSHIP! LOYALTY! HONOR!""

Victor Dragunsky was bright and joyfully talented. He was kind, cheerful and therefore happy man. He conveys his love for life, faith in life and in people to readers, of whom he has a great many not only in our country, but all over the world.
Cheerful, witty, kind man, he was very fond of children. Such love in our age is not uncommon, only some people love children with sincere and demanding love, while others like to talk only about this love. IN different years, in different circumstances, the writer was surrounded by children: in the circus, theaters, on the street, at meetings with young readers. Being a comedian and satirist, V. Dragunsky won recognition in this field.
Creativity of Viktor Yuzefovich Dragunsky
The childhood and youth of Viktor Yuzefovich Dragunsky fell on difficult years. At the age of sixteen, a young man who dreamed of the theater had to go to work. He worked at a factory, sewed horse harness in a saddle shop, and carried passengers by boat across the Moscow River. But he nevertheless became an actor and played on stage not without success. Since 1935 it began acting biography: he was a stage artist, for several years he directed the theater of literary and theatrical parodies "The Blue Bird". Later he worked in the Theater of Satire, was a circus clown, played in the Theater-Studio of a film actor. When did the Great Patriotic War, Dragoon joined civil uprising and defended Moscow from the Nazis. And even during the war, Viktor Yuzefovich, with other artists, went to the front to perform in front of the soldiers.
Dragunsky wrote feuilletons, parodies, funny scenes for pop and circus, songs. In 1968, Viktor Yuzefovich, answering questions from the newspaper " Pioneer Truth” to the question: “Which of the writers of the past would you go on a trip and where?” he replied: “Of the writers of the past, I would agree with Alexander Grin and together with him, Tomka Sawyer, Geshka Finn and Comrade Kibalchish, in such a glorious company, I would go to Zurbagan and, maybe, on the way back I would turn into Liss. I have many friends there, in these cities: and then, can you imagine how glad old Assol would be?
Many of V. Dragunsky's humorous stories are widely known and, years later, after publication, have not lost their charm, subtle humor, and special delicacy. These are such stories as: “The Magic Power of Art”, “Gum”, “Marina Vladi with Razgulyan”, “ old joke», « noble family”,“ Mermaid laughter ”,“ Dachurka ”. "The Magical Power of Art" is not only a story, but, as it turned out later, after it was published, it is also a ready-made script for a movie, with a complete dramatic plot, with brightly written characters. The story is both funny and a bit sad, great in recognition. Each page of his stories breathes authenticity, sincerity, arouses a lively reader's interest and a sense of empathy.
It's alive and glowing! That was the name of one of best books Victor Dragunsky. I would like to say the same about the author himself. It's alive and glowing! In any case, for many readers and admirers of his cheerful and sad talent.
The writer's fate of Viktor Dragunsky developed in such a way that children first of all recognized and loved him. And young readers met his Deniska Korablev for the first time in 1959. Since then, the title of children's writer has been firmly entrenched in Viktor Dragunsky. A variety of cases happened to the main character of Dragunsky: he jumped from a tower into the water, and performed on stage, and got into an accident with his dad. Some of these cases actually happened - not with Deniska Korablev, literary hero, and with Denis Dragunsky - the son of the writer. True, Denis Dragunsky grew up, now he writes books himself, and Deniska Korablev remained a boy.
"Deniska's Stories" is a whole world, a kind of encyclopedia of child psychology. Here is the school, and the family, and the street, and fun, and grief, and joy, and disappointment, and relationships between adults and children - and much more that is included in the vast and sometimes poorly understood by us "children's world."
It has always been believed that "Deniska's stories" are intended only for children. They were published in Detgiz, "Kid" in colorful covers, with drawings. But, perhaps, rarely anyone thought about the fact that they are equally addressed to adults. Many of these stories are written with such subtext and reveal the relationship between children and adults in such a way that they can rightfully become books for adults as well. The character of the narrator leaves a peculiar imprint on the manner of presentation of events, on the style of speech and reflections of the main character.
This can be seen in the example of the story "The workers crush the stone." The boy liked the Dynamo water station so much that even the sound from the embankment, where the workers are crushing the stone, comes to him as thin and gentle, as if “someone is playing with glass hammers on a silver xylophone.” Deniska is delighted with how “everyone here walks like a champion, “excellent”, walks fashionably - sometimes they even walk much better than they swim.” The irony of the last remark, made by the way, prepares for the sudden transition from the boy's enthusiasm to the humorous situation in which he finds himself thoughtlessly jumping off a ten-meter tower. The childish concreteness with which Deniska, standing upstairs and looking down in fright, is comical, reflects on possible consequences of his jump: “... or I will fall right into the buffet on someone's head, that will be the story! Or I, what good, I will go straight into the kitchen, into the cauldron with borscht! It's also a pleasure."
Characteristic for children is the game with synonyms, which was started by Mishka and Kostya, mocking the frightened Deniska: “He jumped off! - Ha-ha-ha! - He jumped! - Ho-ho-ho! - Swallow! - He-he-he! - Soldier! - Hee hee hee! - Brave! - Well done! - Bouncer! ”,“ You are not afraid! "Are you just afraid?" A neologism in rhyme is a braggart, a false opposition did not get cold feet - it was simply afraid to enhance the humor of a children's teaser. Deniska's state of mind, over which the guys laugh and who therefore decided to jump off at all costs, is well conveyed not by a mocking, but by a mocking play on words that he addresses to himself: “Rrokhlya! .. Wahlya !! Mahla!!! Jump now! Waddles! Swollen! .. ” Deniska jumped, the respect of his comrades was returned to him. And again the rhythm of the story sounds lyrical, heartfelt: “And I lay and listened to the workers hitting the pink stone with hammers. The sound came here faintly, as if someone was playing with a glass mallet on a silver xylophone.
Humor colors Deniska's i-enthusiastic attitude towards people. Grandpa Valya becomes close to readers, about whom Deniska says: “... a golden man! Kind. He once me ladybug donated. Here, the childish logic with which the use of epithets characterizing the grandfather is explained is humorous. And when Deniska, like a child, cannot forgive a petty insult, humor softens his gloomy feelings, quickly replaced by joy, with a kind smile. Here Deniska tells about what terrible revenge he thought, putting his blue dagger on top of his briefcase: "In the morning I could not eat anything." This seems to indicate the seriousness of the boy's experiences. But then he adds: “I just drank two cups of tea with bread and butter, potatoes and sausage,” and thanks to this illogical explanation, we are already prepared for the fact that the conflict will be settled easily.
In the story "There is a big movement on Sadovaya", the comic character of the character is associated with his excessive credulity. A guy approached the guys who had gone on a bicycle far from home. "... He had a gold tooth .. on his hands he had various drawings, portraits and landscapes." Dragunsky deliberately calls the mouths of Deniska common external signs a crook who should have alerted the boys if they weren't so gullible. Thinking of giving the guys a shaggy little dog “made of different wools” instead of a bicycle, the stranger says: “This is a very valuable dog. Thoroughbred. Spanish Dachshund. It is comical that Deniska further in a serious way repeats the epithet "valuable", used by the swindler to deceive. This approach, common in humorous stories, characterizes the naivety of the character.
Changelings are also often found in the works of Dragunsky. Changelings help to reveal the psychology of the child, to show his feelings, experiences.
Here Deniska dreams of what he would say to his mother at dinner if they switched roles: “Why did you start a fashion without bread? Here's more news! Look at yourself in the mirror, who do you look like? Poured Koschey! Eat now, they tell you!” And she quickly began to eat, with her head down ... ”The parody of this imaginary scene becomes all the more accessible to the guys because at the end of the story everything is turned upside down again, and the mother already in reality treats Deniska in exactly the same way as he was going to do it if everything around in the world was arranged the other way around.
In other cases, the changeling is formed unconsciously for the character, but here, too, it reveals his psychological characteristics. Deniska, going to the carnival, got into his father's shoe covers so that they almost reached his armpits. “Nothing, quite uncomfortable. But they shine nicely,” he says. After the word, nothing is expected set phrase quite convenient, but for a child who loves the unusual, it is precisely the opposite assessment that is valuable.
In the story "Fire in the wing, or the Feat in the Ice ..." we meet with a changeling, formed as a result of a speech error. And this error is unexpected for others actors story and for readers and therefore causes laughter. At the same time, it is a logical consequence of the character and deed of the one who allows it.
Out of breath, Deniska is going to justify his being late to school by hiding real reason. This usually honest, truthful boy is clearly embarrassed and agitated. To the question of the teacher, where is Misha, who was also late, Deniska replies: “Misha is now sewing Aunt Pasha to a button! That is, the collar is sewn to Aunt Pasha! The comicality of Deniska's behavior is enhanced by the fact that, not yet daring to deceive the teacher, he tries to delay the answer to her question about the reason for being late: “And suddenly this! Such a thing, Raisa Ivanna, just oh-ho-ho! Wow! Ah ah ah!"
In another story, Deniska, excited by an absurd incident that happened to him, says: “And only the third dog stands near us and tails with a vert, that is, twirls its tail.” Here the shifter is not only in the use of words, but also in word formation itself.
Comic situations in Dragunsky's stories in most cases are not created artificially, but are conditioned psychological features children's thinking emotional excitability characteristic of children, which is reflected in their speech. Deniska really wanted to participate in the creation of a school living corner. The boy is completely immersed in this concern, and it seems to him that it should be clear to everyone. So he ran home from the pet store for money: “Mom, shout hurray! On the Arbat they give white mice. Already that after the word give, which housewives usually used in Soviet time in relation to scarce and much-needed goods, followed by white mice, causes laughter. And then, when this living “goods” was sold and Deniska was left with nothing, he sadly says to the saleswoman: “You are bad at supplying the population with essential mice.” And this unexpected intrusion into Deniska's speech somewhere overheard by him in business, official vocabulary is also comical.
The boy's excitement, his enthusiasm for his idea lead to a verbal humorous situation. Deniska turns to her neighbor: “Vera Sergeevna, do you have a tail?” She kindly wonders: “Am I very similar to the devil?” But the fact is that Deniska is in a hurry to the carnival and he needed an item that could replace the tail in the Puss in Boots costume.
Seeing the draw of the European boxing championship on TV, Deniska, without any explanation, asks his father to buy a pear, meaning a training one. “It’s January now, there are no pears. Eat a carrot for now, ”he answers out of place. Here the humor is based on the fact that the word is not understood by the father in the sense in which it was used by Deniska.
Humorous omissions in Dragunsky's stories may be due to the fact that one of the characters does not know about the pranks of the other, and the phraseological unit used by him suddenly acquires a specific meaning. In one of the stories, the clown exclaims: “Well, boy! He won "Murzilka", but he himself is silent, as if he had taken water in his mouth! And it's funny because the boy just really drank a bottle of soda through force in order to weigh exactly 25 kilos and, according to the conditions of the competition, win an annual subscription to a children's magazine.
This is an example accessible to children that the same combinations of words can be used both as phraseological units and in their direct meaning.
It is comical in the reasoning of the child and the combination of the unusual, the fantastic with the strictly real. For example, children talk about miracles in the circus, about the fact that frogs are swallowed there, and one adds: “And crocodiles too!” - “You, Mishka, are obviously out of your mind! - Deniska is indignant. - How will you eat a crocodile when it's tough. It can't be chewed up."
Humorous and illogical Deniska's reasoning is associated with a too specific idea of some concepts and the inability to simultaneously realistically compare them with others, as well as correlate with the conditions in which they can manifest themselves. Hearing that “one drop of cigarette poison kills a healthy horse,” and being frightened for his smoking father, Deniska is worried: “That's it! I looked at dad. He was big, no doubt, but still smaller horse... and even the most seedy cow. A cow would never fit on our sofa, but dad would fit freely.” There is not a hint of rudeness in the fact that the boy compares his father to a horse and even a cow. This comparison is caused only by the sincere concern of Deniska, who literally understood the aphorism about the destructive effect of nicotine. The writer speaks about the excitement of the boy with humor, which is caused by the spontaneity and naivety of Deniska's ideas: “I was very scared. I did not want such a drop of poison to kill him ... From these thoughts I could not fall asleep for a long time, so long that I did not notice how I fell asleep after all.
The writer with gentle humor conveys Deniska's fears associated with his dream of becoming a brave traveler, like Alain Bombard and crossing all the oceans in a fragile shuttle, eating only raw fish. “True,” Deniska argues, “after his trip, this Bombar lost twenty-five kilograms, and I only weighed twenty-six, so it turned out that if I also swim like him, then I will have absolutely nowhere to lose weight, I will weigh only one kilo at the end of the trip. What if I don’t catch one or two fish somewhere and lose a little more weight? Then I'll probably just melt in the air like smoke. that's all there is to it?" Here the illogicality of the conclusions is reinforced by external, purely arithmetical precision. Humor helps convey the combination of the serious, the spontaneous, and the naive in a child's dreams of the future. The concreteness of the child's thinking is also expressed in quite real, but inappropriate under the circumstances, detailing, which also causes laughter. Deniska, who hates semolina, pours it out the window. And now the victim appears: “This uncle had a hat on his head. And on the hat is our porridge. She lay almost in the middle of the hat, in the dimple, and a little along the edges, where the ribbon is, and a little behind the collar, and on the shoulders, and on the left trouser leg.
Humor is also manifested in Deniska's unconscious parody of the style of some literary genres. He expresses his dissatisfaction with the tamed circus lions with words read from adventure books about traveling around Africa: “... the lion must hunt and chase the bison in the endless pampas, announce the surroundings with a formidable growl that trembles the native population.” Dreaming about how terrible revenge would be for a classmate for hitting the back of the head with a pencil case, Deniska sharpens her father’s plastic knife and imagines a picture: “... my faithful blue dagger will flash in front of Levka, I will bring it over Levka’s head, and Levka will fall to her knees and beg me to give him life, and I will say:“ Sorry! - and he will say: "I'm sorry!" And I will laugh with thunderous laughter like this - "Ha-ha-ha-ha." And the echo will repeat this ominous laughter in the gorges. The humorous effect of this ultra-romantic style, clearly inappropriate to the circumstances, is enhanced by the fact that the subsequent phrase - "And the girls will crawl under the desks from fear" - suddenly brings us back to reality.
Children also like funny play on words, such as “His Nobility von Baron Kutkin-Putkin”, “Babkin-Nyansky reaction”, or truncated forms like “Bryak! .. Schwark! .. Buts! .. Tink”. Bams! .. “The emotional excitement of children in the game is well conveyed by frequently used interjections or verbs denoting instantaneous actions, accompanied by noise: “Bukh, tarra-rakh!” , ".. ka-ak whistles and ka-ak gives!", "... how it will bang!". Deformation of words is inappropriate in works of art for children, if you make the reader laugh - its end in itself. But with Dragunsky this technique is justified, it is always used in order to the shortest way and convincingly show a certain character trait of the character, the fallacy of his act. Purposefully, the writer also uses such speech reception comic effect like an anagram. Deniska, when answering a lesson, confuses the consonants in the name of the Mississippi River, and this is funny not only because the result is a colloquial word that is usually not used in an official setting. The reader already knows that Deniska did not complete the task and is trying to find salvation in the hint. So convincingly, without annoying teachings, it is shown that indiscipline puts the student in a ridiculous position. Criticism with laughter, especially from the whole class, has a stronger effect on the offender than the edification of elders. It is no coincidence that Deniska says: “And now I have taken an oath that I will always learn lessons.” This sounds too solemn and may cause mistrust of young readers. But then the hero of the story adds: "Until old age." And these parodic words, sharply grounding the image, preserve its childish sympathy. Denisk's comparison, which has turned into a phraseological unit, returns to its source. Comparing the diligent servant or batman with faithful dog, We mean certain qualities in their complete abstraction from the original object. This is illustrative, but not always comical, and may even be tragic. And Deniska's dreams of a dog that will follow him like a faithful dog invariably cause laughter with their outwardly unexpected, but concretization arising from age psychology. Deniska, who is characterized by figurative thinking, himself comes up with very accurate comparisons, turns them into independent concepts, and then into a definition of the original object. First, the leg that did not reach the bicycle pedal "hung in the air like pasta", then Deniska pushed off the pipe with this "pasta", and in conclusion, thousands of needles are already digging into his pasta leg. The belt from the mother's dress, to which the children assign the role of a fickford cord, turns into a “mother's fickford belt”. Deniska also concretizes the concepts used in figuratively. When he is told that satirical ditties should have a sobering effect on losers, he confidently declares: "They are not drunk, they are just lazy." The humorous situation is often based on the fact that Deniska does not know the meaning of some words. For example, the counselor asks if he has a partner to perform on stage. The boy answers in the negative. The counselor is perplexed: “How do you live without a friend?” “I have a comrade. Bear. But I don’t have a partner,” Deniska replies. Children tend to include in a number of homogeneous objects concepts that are not logically connected with a generalizing word. Dragunsky very successfully uses this feature of children's speech. So, Mishka, speaking about what he loves, lists a number of edible items, but, fearing to be considered a glutton, he adds: “I almost forgot: more - kittens! And grandmother! But Deniska talks about a trip to another city: “There were a lot of different people: old women and soldiers, and just young guys, and guides, and a little girl, and even a basket full of chickens.
The works of Dragunsky evoke a joyful and active attitude in children, enrich their speech.
In V. Dragunsky's story "The Enchanted Letter", Denis, Mishka and Alyonka were walking in the yard. Suddenly, a truck with a Christmas tree drove into the yard. The driver and the janitor unloaded the Christmas tree and left. The children remained near a large, shaggy Christmas tree, which smelled deliciously of frost. The writer touchingly describes the scene of the children's admiration for this Christmas tree and, at the same time, makes fun of them, conveying the children's conversation about the cones that hang on the Christmas tree. Alyonka draws the children's attention to the cones on the Christmas tree: "Look, there are detectives hanging on the Christmas tree." The guys start laughing at her. Denis exclaims: “The girl is five years old, she will marry soon! And she is a detective. Alyonka explains that she wanted to say the right thing, but only her tooth fell out: “It was my tooth that fell out and whistles. I want to say detectives, but detectives are whistling from me ... "The bear proudly declares:" What an incredible thing! She lost her tooth! I've had three of them fall out and two are staggering, but I still speak correctly! Listen here: chuckles! What! True, great - hehe-ki! Here's how easy it comes out for me: chuckles! I can even sing: Oh, green hykhechka, I’m afraid I’ll prick myself ... ”Denis confidently enters into a dispute between friends and proudly declares:“ Why are you arguing like that, since both are wrong? After all, it is a very simple word. No detectives! No giggles, but short and clear: fifks! That's all". The writer very subtly notices the way children talk, with big love describes their characters, relationships with each other.
In the story of V. Dragunsky "The Englishman of Paul" the eve of the first of September is described. Parents, together with Deniska, are in joyful anticipation of such a wonderful event and, on this occasion, decide to “slaughter a watermelon”. Dad cuts a watermelon with a knife. At this time, the door swings open and the boy Pavel enters the room. Deniska's father greets his son's friend with benevolent irony: “Wow, who has come! Paul himself! Pavel the Warthog himself! Pavel remarks: “Ah, I love watermelon. Even more. My grandmother never lets me eat it. She says that after watermelon I get not a dream, but a continuous running around. To which dad seriously summarizes: “That's why we eat watermelon early in the morning. By evening, its action ends, and you can sleep peacefully. When asked by the Deniska family why Pavel had not visited them for a long time, Pavel with casual gravity tells that student Seva came to visit them and he studies English with him every day. dad about English language makes such a remark: “The devil will break their leg there. Very difficult spelling. It is spelled Liverpool and pronounced Manchester. The statements of adults in the story sound on a par with children. It seems that children and adults are one friendly yard company, which in this moment solves a very important problem. Mom, joining the conversation, wonders why Pavlik, when he entered, did not say “hello” in English. And dad clarified why Pavel didn’t say “thank you” in English for the watermelon. Pavel calmly replies that they have not yet reached the “hello” and “thank you”. And he adds: "Very difficult preaching." Denis asks Pavel: “Teach me how to say “one, two, three” in English.” Pavel replies that he has not studied it yet. Here the author drags out the dialogue in order to intrigue the reader and, at the same time, a comical situation arises when the reader understands that now will be the funniest moment. To create a humorous atmosphere of the story, the writer uses the technique of dialogues. Through the dialogues, the features of the speech of the characters and the traits of their characters are revealed. Denis, unable to stand it, shouts: “What did you study? Have you learned anything in two months yet?” To which Pavel replies: “I learned how in English “Petya” ... In English, “Petya” will be “Pete” ... I’ll come to class tomorrow and tell Petka Gorbushkin: “Pete, Pete, give me an eraser!” Probably his mouth will open, he will not understand anything. Will it be some fun?..” Denis, hoping that Petya still learned something in English, asks: “Well, what else do you know in English?” Pavel replies that that's all for now. He was a brilliant oral narrator, interesting, in his own way "read" people, sometimes revealing in them something that those who stood closer to them did not see. He was not afraid to open up to a new person, feeling his own blood in him. But it was much easier for him to love, pity, condescend and forgive than to hate and quarrel. In his stories, a gentle and bright feeling always prevails over a flat and heavy worldly life.
When Viktor Dragunsky's son, Denis, was born, all sorts of things began to happen to him. funny stories Dragunsky began to write down these stories, and the result was "Deniska's stories." The first book of sixteen stories was published in 1961 under the title "He is alive and glowing." Deniskin's adventures became more and more. In 1964, the book "Tell me about Singapore" appeared, in 1963 - "The Man with the Blue Face". In total, about ninety very funny stories. For example, about how once Denis poured a plate of semolina porridge out of the window and it got on the hat of an uncle who was going to be photographed: or about how Denis and his dad cooked chicken broth and cut the chicken with scissors, washed it with soap, and she jumped under the closet.
Viktor Dragunsky is one of the famous children's writers. Most famous acquired thanks to "Deniska's stories". Dragunsky's stories are mainly aimed at a children's audience, with the exception of such stories as "He fell on the grass" and "Today and Daily".
Dragunsky was born on December 1, 1913 in New York to a family of Belarusian emigrants. However, the family never took root in the United States, so a year later they returned to their homeland in Gomel, where the writer spent his most childhood. After the loss of his father and stepfather, the family moves to Moscow. Then Victor's second stepfather disappears without a trace, so the child is forced from the very early years earn their own living.
Dragunsky tries himself in the most different professions, starting from a clown in a circus and ending with an assistant turner at a factory. However, Dragunsky's love for art, which accompanied him throughout his childhood, when he first performed on the stage of the theater together with his stepfather, the artist Menachem Rubin, pushed the future writer to perform at the Transport Theater. The liveliness and bright play of Dragunsky soon attracted figures from the Theater of Satire, where he was soon invited. Then already Victor showed the full scope of his own imagination: he wrote sketches, humorous monologues, jokes, clowning and humoresques. The invaluable experience gained while working in the circus inspired him in the future to "Today and Daily". Further creative activity Dragunsky was prevented by the sudden outbreak of the Second World War where his younger brother Leonid dies. WWII had on the writer big influence and subsequently prompted him to write the story "He Fell on the Grass."
The very peak of the writer's fame was marked by a collection of children's stories called "Deniska's stories", the main character of which was a cheerful boy Denis Korablev, the prototype of which was the writer's son from Alla Semichastnova. Later, Dragunsky's stories were filmed and enjoyed greater love among the audience.
The writer died on May 6, 1972 from a chronic illness in Moscow. His grave is located at the Vagankovsky cemetery.

The life and work of Viktor Dragunsky
“Well, how, how did you manage to grow up without reading Deniska's Stories? So I want to tell you: grow back! Until you read, do not become adults! Otherwise, you may not become as mature as you should, and all life will go awry." Marina MOSKVINA Biography of V. Dragunsky "Deniska's stories" References
Dragunsky Victor Yuzefovich (1913-1972) Do you know who Victor Dragunsky is? The writer Viktor Dragunsky has a story "My Sister Xenia" and has a daughter, Ksenia Dragunskaya. Here Ksenia Dragunskaya will tell us about her dad. “When I was little, I had a dad. Viktor Dragunsky. Famous children's writer. Only no one believed me that he was my dad. Everyone thought it was the grandfather. Because he was no longer very young. I am a late child. Junior. I have two older brothers - Lenya and Denis. They are fat and quite bald. But they know a lot more stories about dad than I do. But since they didn’t become writers, but I, then they usually ask me to write something about dad. Xenia DRAGUNSKAYA. She graduated from the screenwriting department of VGIK.
“... kind, funny, instructive stories and feuilletons of my father are lessons of emotional culture, education of feelings, communication with the art of the word, enjoyment of beauty…”. from the book of K. Dragunskaya "My first teacher"
“My dad was born a long time ago. In 1913. And not somewhere there he was born, but in New York. This is how it happened - his mom and dad were very young, got married and left Belarusian city Gomel to America for happiness and wealth. I don’t know about happiness, but they didn’t work out with wealth at all. They ate exclusively bananas, and in the house where they lived, hefty rats ran. And they returned back to Gomel, and after a while they moved to Moscow. There, my dad did not study well at school, but he liked to read books. In the photo - a house in Moscow where Dragunsky lived, now his daughter lives.
At school, Victor was the ringleader in all games, arranged performances, sang verses, and danced. While still at school, Victor tried to help his family. In order to somehow earn money, he and one of his comrades got a job as a boatman to transport people across the Moscow River.
About higher education educational institution there was no question. And after graduating from school, Victor went to work as an apprentice turner at the factory. The plant was located on the outskirts, we had to get up very early. And one day, without getting enough sleep, he lay down under the machine and fell asleep. The master found him there. The sentence was short and cruel: fire him!
Then one of his friends advised him to go to the factory, where apprentice saddlers were required. (A saddler is a craftsman who makes saddles and other equipment for riding horses from leather) There was an arena at the factory, and you could learn equestrian sports, and Victor loved horses from childhood.
At the age of seventeen, Victor passes the exam in acting school. After graduating from school, Viktor Dragunsky became a good theater actor and was accepted into the Theater of Satire. “There is a government house on the square, “Theater” - it is written on it, There, day and night, the scientist actor Everyone walks around the foyer ...” Author of the parody Viktor Dragunsky
The war has come. Dragoonsky rushed to the front, the doctors did not allow him because of his illness, but he did not give up and joined the militia. (The militia is the troops that are created during the war to help the main army of volunteers). The militias dug deep trenches, trenches, set up anti-tank barriers. The work was exhausting and hard. The Germans were inexorably advancing near Moscow. Part of the militia was killed, Dragunsky escaped by a miracle. Then, together with the theater, he gave concerts in front of the soldiers who were heading to the front, in front of the wounded in hospitals.
After the war, Dragunsky, unexpectedly for everyone, leaves the theater and goes to the circus. Work as a red clown! Dragunsky especially liked to perform in front of children. For him there was no more enjoyment than to follow the little spectators who, during his performances, simply crawled out of their chairs with laughter.
Viktor Dragunsky said: “Laughter is joy. I give it with both hands. The pockets of my clown pants are full of laughter. Children should live, they should rejoice… and I should bring joy to children…”
Victor Dragunsky published his first book at the age of 48. It was called "He is alive and glowing." After this book, the writer released many more others, not only about Denis. He also has two adult stories. But the writer's favorite, most read is "Deniska's Stories", the hero of which was not some fictional boy, but his son Denis. When Denis Dragunsky grew up, he became a journalist.
All stories are different: you laugh at some to tears, you think about others, sometimes you feel sad and upset. When you read these stories, you notice that Deniska is like each of us. He loves what we love. Here is how it is written in the story “What I love”: “I really like to play checkers, chess and dominoes, only to be sure to win. If you don't win, then don't. I love making phone calls. I love planing, sawing, I know how to sculpt the heads of ancient warriors and bison, and I blinded a capercaillie and a tsar cannon. All this I love to give. I love to laugh. Sometimes I don’t feel like laughing at all, but I force myself, squeeze out laughter - look, after five minutes it really becomes funny. I like a lot of things!"
Deniska is inquisitive, he looks for answers to many questions and answers them in his own way, which leads to funny situations. If he sees that they offend the weak, he needs help, he will never stand aside. In the story "Battle near a clean river" the whole class, led by Denis, helped our squad defeat the enemy. It does not matter that not everything turns out with Denis or it does not turn out the way we would like. In the story "Top Down, Obliquely" Denis decided to become a house painter and painted Alyonka from head to toe, and at the same time clean linen, a new door and the house manager Alexei Akimych. The children were so carried away by their occupation that they forgot about everything in the world. Denis never sits idle, he always helps his father and mother with household chores. This is how they cooked dinner with dad in the story "Chicken Soup"...
Chicken broth "And I went to the sink and turned on the water, put our chicken under it and began to rub it right hand with all my might. The chicken was very hot and terribly dirty, and I immediately got my hands dirty up to the very elbows. Dad swayed on the stool. “Here,” I said, “what have you done to her, papa?” Doesn't peel off at all. There is a lot of soot. - Nothing, - said dad, - soot only from above. Couldn't it be all soot? Wait? A! And dad went to the bathroom and brought me a big bar of strawberry soap. - On, - he said, - mine properly! Lather up! And I began to lather this unfortunate chicken. She had a completely dead look. I lathered it pretty well, but it lathered very badly, dirt dripped from it, it had probably been dripping for half an hour, but it didn’t become cleaner. I said: - This damn cock is only smeared with soap. Then dad said: - Here's a brush! Take it, give it a good rub! First the back, and only then everything else.
In the story "The Main Rivers of America", Deniska shows a lot of fiction in order not to get a deuce, and then takes an oath that she will always do her homework. “Although I am already in my ninth year, I just realized yesterday that I still need to learn lessons. You love, you don’t love, you don’t want to, whether you’re lazy or not, but you need to learn lessons. This is the law. And then you can get into such a story that you don’t recognize your own. For example, I didn't have time to do my homework yesterday. We were asked to learn a piece from one of Nekrasov's poems and the main rivers of America. And I, instead of studying, launched a kite into space in the yard. Well, he didn’t fly into space after all, because he had an overly light tail, and because of this he was spinning like a top. This time. And secondly, I did not have enough thread, and I searched the whole house and collected all the thread that I had; I took it off my mother's sewing machine, and it turned out to be not enough. The kite flew to the attic and hung there, and space was still far away. And I was so busy with this kite and space that I completely forgot about everything in the world. It was so interesting for me to play that I stopped thinking about some lessons there. Completely went out of my head. But it turned out that it was impossible to forget about your affairs, because it turned out to be a shame. Drawing by M. Skobelev for V. Dragunsky's story "The Main Rivers of America".
Dragunsky's book "Deniska's Stories" will soon turn 50 years old, but the children of our 21st century are enthusiastically following the adventures of a mischievous boy, playing hide-and-seek with him, learning lessons, building spaceship riding a bike and singing ditties on children's holiday. The writer often received letters from young readers and always tried to answer them. He ended each of his messages with the motto: “Friendship! Loyalty! Honor!"
In 2010, Viktor Yuzefovich Dragunsky would have turned 97 years old, he is no longer with us, but “He is alive and glowing,” and his books are always with us. Children's poet Yakov Akim, a close friend of Dragunsky, once said: To a young man all vitamins are needed, including all moral vitamins. Vitamins of kindness, nobility, honesty, decency, courage. All these vitamins were generously and talentedly given to our children by Viktor Dragunsky. If I were a doctor, I would prescribe a special medicine for all children: "Vitamins of Dragunsky" - his stories. Take daily!!!

Viktor Yuzefovich Dragunsky (December 1, 1913 - May 6, 1972) - Russian Soviet writer and author of many novels and short stories. He became popular and famous in the Soviet Union, thanks to the cycle "Deniska's stories", which later became known as "children's classics of all time."
Childhood
Despite the fact that Dragunsky was always considered a native of Russia, he was born in the United States of America on December 1, 1913 in New York City. His parents were labor emigrants who, in search of a better life and prosperity left their native Gomel and moved to America a year before the birth of the child. However, there they not only did not find what they wanted, but rather the opposite - they became disillusioned with life, after which in 1914 they decided to return to their homeland.
From childhood, Victor got used to moving. As the writer admits, it seemed to him an ordinary and even normal phenomenon - to constantly change places of residence.
“As a child, I didn’t understand why my parents were so nervous and worried about moving to a new place. Later, I finally understood what exactly they expected from new countries and cities - a better life. That is why they were constantly in search, albeit, frankly, to no avail.
In 1918, Victor suffers a terrible loss. His father dies suddenly of typhus, leaving his wife and child destitute. Mother, having grieved for some time, marries their revolutionary committee. hometown, with whom he lives quite happy and financially stable for two years, after which Victor's stepfather also dies. Two years later, Dragunsky's mother for the third time married Menachem-Mendl Khaimovich Rubin, an actor in the Jewish vaudeville theater.
After that, the family, following the new breadwinner, begins to travel around the country. Being pretty talented actor, Rubin tours and, in the end, comes to Moscow, where he meets his future stage colleague - Ilya Trilling. Deciding that a burden in the form of a wife and a child greatly hinders a man's career, Ilya persuades his friend to leave his family and start opening his own theater. Persuasion is not in vain, and in 1930 Rubin leaves the family.
Youth and early acting career
As Viktor Dragunsky himself later admits, he practically had no childhood.
“Despite the fact that Rubin allowed my mother and I to live well and one might even say rich life, I saw that it would not last long - and it happened. Therefore, all my childhood and youth, I had to earn extra money here and there in order to save up for the future.
Having received only school education(and even then partial), Dragunsky in 1930 enrolled in the "Literary and Theater Workshop" of A. Diky, where he began to appear on stage for the first time. The fact that this very year is the time of termination another marriage and poverty, does not frighten Victor at all, on the contrary, gives him strength and inspires. And after 5 years he achieves his first recognition - he is noticed at one of the performances and invited to the Theater of Transport.
Seeing family troubles and an unhappy mother, Viktor Dragunsky tries even more to devote himself to creativity in order to protect himself from negative thoughts. So, he begins to independently invent stories, novellas, fairy tales, compose small skits and even plays, write feuilletons and humoresques. But the absence, as such, of the writer's experience forces him to turn to professionals, namely, circus performers, thanks to whom he subsequently begins to compose truly interesting and funny works. They also help him get a job at the Film Actor Theater, where Dragunsky is immediately offered several small supporting roles.
However, even if enough famous person, Victor sees that there is enough of a film actor in the Theater without him " star characters". And since he is not yet able to compete with them, in 1948 he decides to create a "Theater in the Theater" called "The Blue Bird" in order to provide himself and other equally little-known actors with decent work. The idea immediately becomes popular and acquires more and more new colleagues on the stage (albeit more professional actors). A few months later, the "independent team" of young and talented performs for the first time outside the home stage. They are invited to the Actor's House, where they learn from their own experience what real fame is.
However, the success of The Blue Bird ends in 1958, when the most talented of the actors - Viktor Dragunsky - is invited to Mosestrada. There he participates in numerous productions and even writes the songs "Motor ship", "Birch", "Three waltzes", which later become almost hits. domestic stage.
Publicism
Despite the fact that Dragunsky is engaged in writing activities for many years, his works have been evaluated only by friends and colleagues in the theater. Victor begins to think about the publication of manuscripts only in 1940, when he is offered to combine all the feuilletons and humoresks written earlier into a cycle called "Iron Character", which is published in 1960.
A year before the publication of his first cycle, Dragunsky suddenly realizes that he no longer wants to write humoresques and switches to children's stories. This is how the famous “Deniska Stories” appear, the main characters of which are two friends. Stories almost instantly gain popularity, and by 1960 Viktor Dragunsky is pleased with not one, but two of his own collections of works that have been published.
Personal life
In 1936, while working at the Transport Theatre, Dragunsky met the actress Elena Kornilova, whom he decided to marry. In marriage, a son, Leonid, is born, who later became a famous and respected journalist. Having lived in marriage for 28 years, Dragunsky and Kornilova disperse.
The second time Dragunsky marries in 1964 Alla Semichastnova - talented writer, which in the future will even publish her memoirs about her husband “About Viktor Dragunsky. Life, work, memories of friends "(1999). In marriage, they have two children: daughter Ksenia and son Denis.
