Biography of Peter Komarov

Blessed is my land, and in it - our work, our house, where everything is familiar. I am a thread in your banner above the tiled roof of the house. The inscription on the book in this short, sounding like a song of a poem, which can be placed next to the best examples of lyrical Russian poetry, a high understanding of the duty, sons of love for the homeland, is laid down, and in the end - the meaning of human destiny on Earth.

Friends and comrades, those who saw how stubbornly he fought with a heavy ailment, how, overcoming the need, he worked, searched for his path in the difficult world of literary authorities, disputes, names, is especially joyful to realize that Komarov’s poems gained wide fame and became the property of Russian poetry. He left us early, defeated by the disease. Medicine at that time had not yet had such powerful drugs against tuberculosis as it has now.

You think about this with pain and regret. How often we lacked his quiet, but clear word, when unexpectedly for everyone at the various heights of the state staircase, various values ​​began to move and only stars were also fussing on the literary sky, others rose about citizenship sometimes, as something super-long. Critics often argue among themselves, determining her measure in the verses of a poet.

But she cannot be a dining to talent! Citizenship is revealed as a reflection of the soul; This is a way of thinking, and this is the position of an artist, a writer. In Peter Komarov, she is organic. His work is illuminated by the hot light of the time in which he lived and worked, constantly realizing himself the son of his great homeland, and if necessary, and a soldier. You can’t say that during the life of mosquitoes, it was little known and not recognized.

His poems were printed in central magazines and newspapers, sounded on the All -Union radio. The name of Peter Stepanovich, especially during the war and post -war years, began to appear in print publications in the Urals and Siberia, many readers of Moscow and Leningrad knew it. He himself did not delight with readers, receiving letters from different cities of Russia.

Nevertheless, real, wide fame came later. We now know it. And then it was simply natural to foresee that his poems would remain to live for a long time. Among the poets, their work related to the Far East, the first place, undoubtedly, belongs to him. Pyotr Komarov was born on July 12 in the village of Boevo Krestetsk district of the Novgorod province. Father - a worker of Kulotinsky tarpaulin factory, who had given a harmful workshop at the private owner for many years, decided to move to the Far East.

In the early spring of the year, he and the whole family first arrived in the city of Svobodny, then from the Surazhevsk pier leaned to the Zazeysk places. Good people advised them to decide in Popovka - a small village, of those who lined up on the elevated bank of the river in one street. It was not easy for newcomers to the handicraftsmen. I had to manually uproot stumps manually, roll up logs for the log house.

By the fall, they somehow managed, put a hut, folded the stove. If only to live and then the civil war soon began. How it seems to have a childhood in our generation of the Far East! After all, many of us sat down at the stormy time. The Amur land has not yet cooled down from fires. Even the Red Army liberated it from Japanese interventionists and White Guard punishers, drove them further to the East, to the Pacific Ocean.

Burning huts, bloody reprisals with a civilian population, homeless orphans, refugees for life will remain in memory. Life went on as usual. At nine years old, Petya was an indispensable assistant to his mother, and when his father’s health staggered and he fell ill in the spring, the boy began to fulfill the instructions of the elder brother Vasily. It seems that Peter re -read all the books that were at his disposal.

In those years, he already had a cherished notebook with verses. He wrote about everything that happened around and seemed significant: the tractor was driven into the village on the marvelous peasants, the hut-reverence of childhood and adolescence then revealed in the verses of Peter Komarov, when he matures and begins to thoroughly try his hand in his work. But in order to become a poet, he had to overcome a lot in his fate.

The very first step that Komarov dared to take was connected with the departure from the Popovka. The Komsomol organization sent him to the school of peasant youth. Mother, Tatyana Semenovna, sewed his shirt from Kumach; Petya put on shoes in Ichigi, took with him some little things, a jacket, a hat just in case and ran with a knapsack behind the steamer. At that time, and later, the old wheel steamer “Briveant” walked along the Zee River.

Here on it he went to the city free. Then he will have a lot of roads later, but this one, as the source in the mountains, giving rise to the great course, first designated his character. Since the year, Peter Komarov began to be published in the newspaper “Young Guard”, then in “Nabata of Youth”. After the SKM was graduated from the Svobodnensky district committee of the Komsomol sent him to the Annunciation Agricultural College.

He studied well there, but did not become an agronomist.Another passion attracted Peter Komarov - journalism, literature, poetry. And as if someone had overheard his secret thoughts. From the technical school, which he did not finish, the farm of the Komsomol recalled Peter to work in the editorial office of the youth newspaper. It was a year memorable in many respects.

The rumble of disturbed villages was already diverging on the ground, the first experiments of the organization of collective farms became known, and the contradictory attitude towards them caused various rumors. The already difficult situation was complicated by a conflict on the Chinese-Eastern Railway, which, fortunately, was soon resolved, although the life of the Far Eastern border remained restless.

But it was at such a time that Pyotr Komarov appeared on Komsomolskaya Street Khabarovsk in the editorial office of the newspaper Nabat Youth.

For the first time, he saw a two -story house, which will be associated with so much in his literary biography. It would be an exaggeration to say that Peter Komarov immediately gained reader recognition. Yes, he was in no hurry to print in the beginning of the x. Poems were given to him not so simple. Returning from the business trips, it was necessary to complete the task, hand over an essay or article on a machine: work in the editorial office requires efficiency.

There was little time left for poems. Researchers of the work of Peter Komarov, for some reason, omitted that period of his life when he worked in a youth newspaper. Meanwhile, these were the years of growing up, the creative growth of Komarov, surrounded by a whole galaxy of the Far Eastern poets. A rather strong group of poets and prose writers was determined here. The editors of the regional Komsomol newspaper, where Komarov entered work, had the enviable personnel of writers.

Without a higher education, Komarov himself had to comprehend a lot within the limits of the possible, as he thought and as he could. Later, he tried to study at the Moscow Institute of Journalism, but the work related to business trips to tear him off from educational tasks, and the institute had to part with the institute. The autumn of the year was memorable. In September, Alexander Fadeev came from Moscow.

Together with the film director A. Dovzhenko, they decided to create a feature film about the Far East on modern material. But something else was no less important: on behalf of A. Gorky, Fadeev was supposed to get acquainted with the writers of Khabarovsk and Vladivostok, to help the Far Eastern writer's organization. His arrival was very useful and ended that, with the help of the party’s regional committee, the decision was approved - to publish in Khabarovsk the magazine “at the line” later “Far East”.

Fadeev agreed to be an editor. And for Peter Komarov, this autumn also turned out to be memorable because in October he received a summons from the city vessel and was drafted into the army a few days later. He had to serve in Primorye, but not the shooting ranges, not his training sessions at the training ground awaited him, but the usual work of the newspaper. Peter Komarov returned to Khabarovsk in the winter, on the eve of a new year.

The familiar doors of the editorial office of the Pacific Komsomolets, the youth newspaper was so opened for him. He was offered the position of deputy editor. In these years, Komarov began to perform with his verses at the request of readers. He traveled to the sailors of the Red Banner Amur Flotilla, was on border posts. The trips were inspired. In the house on Komsomolskaya Street, writers passed a kind of school of literary experience, studied skill.

Poets and prose writers performed on the literary “Thursdays”. Vasily Azhaev made his stories for discussion, and then the story “Far from Moscow”, which later became a novel. It was interesting to listen to E. Titov - a bright publicist and literary critic. In collaboration with V. Arsenyev, he wrote a serious scientific study on the history of the Tunguska Evenki people.

Then, together with P. Kulygin, he worked on the play "Sergey Lazo" for the Red Army Theater. But the production did not take place. There was a year, a terrible action unfolded throughout the country, which became the real life tragedy of our people.
