Gaskarov Fayzi biography

Of course, the merits of Fayzi Adgamovich in the development of the ballet of the republic are undeniable, but in the broad masses he is better known as the creator and head of the famous state academic ensemble of folk dance. The dances set by him, even after decades, still cause the enthusiasm of the audience not only in Russia, but also in many countries of the world.

Gaskarova in Ufa from Leningrad, where he for two years - gg. Vaganova Bashkir national department and improved his qualifications, a year passed. Fayzi Adgamovich was engaged in dancing at the Bashkir Drama Theater at this time. And suddenly a letter comes. From Moscow: “Dear comrade. The state dance ensemble invites you to enter the ensemble as an artist. We ask you to inform your conditions and a fundamental answer.

The artistic director of the state. Write at the address: Moscow, st. Vakhtangov 12, state. Of course, Gaskarov agreed and already at the end of the year became an artist and, importantly, an assistant to the artistic director in a newly created creative team.

He was given a room and approved a salary of rubles, which, of course, was much higher than his Ufa earnings. However, in March, he quit from the ensemble and went back to Ufa. For this short time, as Fayzi Adgamovich himself later wrote, he rewound the entire repertoire in the Moiseev ensemble. What happened? The reason for such sharp changes - to exchange the capital for the provincial Ufa - was simple: Gaskarov caught fire with a new idea and he was eager to bring it to life.

Having gained experience from the Moscow luminaries of professional folk choreography, he decided to take a chance and create a similar creative team in a small homeland - in Bashkiria. Moreover, the ensemble was supposed to be Bashkir. The roots of this approach were, of course, in the childhood of a young “choreographer”, as he was called in the years in Ufa. From the age of seven, he was brought up among Bashkir children in a Birsk orphanage, where he was vaccinated with Bashkir culture in the form of dances and songs.

Then there was an Ufa music college with a similar environment. Working in the Bashdramteater, he, together with his colleagues, sought out many regions of the republic, where he also absorbed many folk choreographic images. Let us not forget that the actual artist Gaskarov actually began with the Bashkir female solo dance “Muglyph”, which he set up by the teenager and triumphantly thoroughly thoroughly during the tour concert of the theater in Moscow.

Of course, from idea to implementation is a distance of huge size. The most important thing that Boris Moiseev still warned Gaskarova was not in Ufers for such a team. Nevertheless, Maestro blessed the young colleague. They say that there was a personal motive. As if she and Igor Moiseev laid their eyes on the same soloist of the ensemble. Gaskarov decided to show nobility and yield to the girl to the senior comrade.

He left for Ufa, and Moiseev married his chosen one. As a result, they have preserved warm business and friendly relations for many years. Be that as it may, Moses not only supported Gaskarov’s idea, but also gave him a number of practical advice, which Gaskarov tried to follow the whole creative life. This is how, years later, in a letter to the regional committee of the CPSU, Fayzi Adigamovich himself recalled: “When I felt the strength in this genre, I asked Moiseev to let me go home to Bashkiria: - I want to create a Bashkir ensemble of folk dance.

In surprise, Moiseev said: “It will be very difficult.” You have no professional choreography in the republic, and amateur art is in a very weak state. It is not reasonable to invite artists of ballet or pop artists from outside. They will need to be retrained to the Bashkir folk forth. And this is generally impossible. He asked: - Fayzi! Are you Bashkirs by nationality?

I communicate with my fellow countrymen in my native Bashkir. Plunge into the auls, there you will find your personnel, and you will fix folklore. Just remember - you create not just a dance ensemble, but a realistic Bashkir folk dance ensemble. His personnel should be indigenous nationality. Be careful, do not dial performers according to one height, centimeter and the same complexion.

Your personnel should be sharply diverse: both in appearance and in temperament. Such a standard without knots and Zazubrin, painted in one color, is suitable only for a park fence. He asked: - You were in the Kremlin? In the courtyard of the Kremlin there are various temples, royal chambers. Have you seen the Church of Vasily Blessed? There are a huge number of domes.

We say - this is the ensemble of Russian creativity. He took my hand, squeezed the little finger, ring finger, middle, index, big and said: - All these fingers are different; But if you clench them into a fist, you will get an ensemble that is cemented by its creative handwriting. You should not allow another choreographer that will interfere with you. Let's create!

It will be difficult - we will help! So, having received the instructions of my teacher, I hastened to create a Bashkir folk dance ensemble. ” In Ufa, they did not wait for him.Moreover, the head of the Office of the Arts, someone Levin, immediately rejected the idea of ​​Gaskarov, referring to the lack of funds and material base. Moreover, he directly told Fayzi that the creation of new teams is prohibited.

The modern reader may not understand the reaction of the head of the Office of the Arts, when a young and energetic Gaskarov appeared to him with the initiative to create a Bashkir ensemble of folk dance. But again, we recall the story. In the USSR - the peak of repression. Black days come for Bashkir art and literature, inextricably linked with the fate of the country.

Already on the second day of the February-March-March Plenum of the Bashkir Regional Committee of the CPSU B, the head of the Central Statistical Directorate of the Republic Gabdulla Gismatullin was arrested, June 3-Mukhtar Baimov, July 27-Dut Yulti, August 16-Afzal Tagirov, August 30-Gubai Davletshin, September 5-Makarim Magadieva, October 21-Valiullah on October 21 Murtazin-Imansky, November 4 is the editor-in-chief of the Bashkortostan newspaper Yanabi, December 11-Gaziz Almukhametov.

Honored Artist of the RSFSR Valiulla Murtazin-Imansky, who, as we know, played a decisive role in the fate of Gaskarov, sending him to study in Moscow, was accused of kinship with the “enemy of the people” Musa Murtazin, shot in Moscow on September 27. Therefore, the fear of the recently appointed head of republican culture is understandable, when they are talking about “Bashkir Ensemble.

" This could be mistaken for the manifestation of nationalism. Young Gaskarov, like a non -partisan person, perhaps did not understand this. He raved precisely with Bashkir dancing, and, of course, did not understand that this could be bad. About the national, Bashkir, the nature of the ensemble, who all the years of his life wanted to create Gaskarov, is evidenced not only by the nature of his conversations with his teacher I.

Moiseev and all his articles about choreography, but also to the letter of the year in the name of the first secretary of the regional regional party of S. Ignatiev, where he writes that "for many years I have been working in Bashkiri national choreography." As a result, Gaskarov was not allowed to fully realize their idea. As we know, Fayzi Adgamovich created many stage folk dances, but he did this within the framework of not a national, but an international ensemble of folk dance.

Maybe this is good, because otherwise his choreographic works related to the culture of the peoples of the USSR and the whole world could not be born. Nevertheless, the main achievement of Gaskarov, the Golden Fund of choreography of the republic are the Bashkir dances created by him and the people beloved by the people. Based on the people, officially the date of birth of the Bashkir folk dance ensemble is considered March 11, when by order of the recently created State Filarmony, F.

Gaskarov was appointed artistic director of the Bashkir ensemble of songs and dancing and national music. However, the ensemble was created a year earlier. The famous biographer of Gaskarov Suyntuk Saitov in the book “Gaskarov” Gaskarov is appointed by his choreographer. Then there were various bureaucratic reorganizations, and only then a well -known order for the BGF dated March 11 appeared.

Thus, in fact, the ensemble led by Gaskarov was created in a year. Therefore, the next anniversary of the ensemble - the summer - should not be celebrated not in, but in the year. But the main thing, of course, is not a date, but the very fact of creating such a creative unit on the cultural map of Ufa. Fortunately, the desire of the young Gaskarov then coincided with the objective need to develop a cultural environment in the capital of the republic - the second half of the thirties for Ufa became the heyday of its economy and social infrastructure.

In the prewar year, the population of Ufa was thousands of people. It was three times more than remained after the revolution and the civil war. Naturally, industrial growth and the tributary of the population associated with it set the task - how to occupy the workers, with different levels of education, in their free time from work? At that time, there were few leisure organizations in the city.

Mostly they turned the movie. The small wooden theater of Vidineev in the Garden of Lunacharsky could not cope with the growing requests of the population. Therefore, the initiative of Fayzi Gaskarov about the creation of the dance ensemble came in handy. And he managed to make this objective social need with his inherent determination and perseverance as an objective reality. Having received the refusal of officials from culture, Fayzi did not think to give up.

He simply decided to act differently, from below.
