Andrei Voznesensky, Evgeny Yevtushenko and, of course, Robert Christmas.
In those days, when freedom and human dignity seemed to be a very inaccessible luxury, in those days, when the era seemed to be at all, there was no voice that she was firmly and standard from the fluttering brands and the unchanging party line, the young poets were considered to be dissidents and fairies, but they are not even a symbol of the whole era, they became an era.

Robert Christmas (1932-1994) - the most famous Soviet poet, publicist, translator. His poems have always been distinguished by the relevance and modernity of topics, and in the work, the evolution of Soviet society with its achievements, takeoffs and falls is brightly traced. Hundreds of songs who performed in all corners of the Soviet Union were written on the verses of Christmas, among which the "my years", "moments", "wedding", "My Motherland" and many others.
Childhood and youth
Robert Christmas (Petkevich) indigenous Siberian. He was born on June 20, 1932 in the village of Kosikh, now located in the Altai Territory. His father, Stanislav Nikodimovich, was an employee of the NKVD, and the mother, Vera Pavlovna, on the formation of the Medic, headed a rural elementary school.
The first children's memories of the poet were associated with Omsk, where his family moved after a divorce with his father. When the war began, both parents went to the front to defend their country, from where his father was not returned. The boy remained in the care of her grandmother, which before the end of the war died. For several years, young Robert spent in the Danilovsky children's receiver.
Mother at the end of the war married the soldier of Ivan the Christmas and transported the Son to Austria. Due to the permanent tracks of the stepfather, Robert managed to learn in Vienna, Koenigsberg, Leningrad. Already in adolescent and youthful years, a novice poet writes a lot of poems. He did not decrease them for a long time to send to serious critics, so he recharged his opuses mainly at school events. And when she decided and sent them to the capital's writers, the disappointing answer came from Moscow - "literary insolvency". At the same time, Robert was not accepted into the literary institute, calling it unable.
Attempt at writing
In 1950, he enters the Karelian-Finnish University at the Historical and Philological Faculty, but there is not there. A year later, a young man begins to study in the Moscow Litin Institute for them. Gorky, who will successfully finish 5 years later. Already in the second year of a young man without objection, the Writers were accepted, which was then regarded as higher recognition.
In 1950, the magazine "New World" began the publication of the first adult poems adopted quite warmly. The first collections of the Christmas poems are published in the student years - "Test" and "Spring Flags". In 1955, the poem in the style of love lyrics "My love" is added to them and the first song is released, written on his poems "Your Window" (composer A. Flykovsky).
In the zenith of glory
Fame to the young poet came instantly, he began to quote and recognize. He said about him that he was styled by verses. Thanks to the bright social orientation of works, Christmas was recognized and the authorities. But not always everything was smooth. In 1960, he fell into opal after the release of the poem "Morning", which was not very much liked by the secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU I. Kapitonov, who called him "falnnic". As a result, the poet has ceased to print and invite to meetings and performances. Only after the resignation of Khrushchev restrictions were removed, but deep experiences were reflected on the health of Robert.
In 1972, he was awarded the Prize of the Lenin Komsomol, and in 1978 he joined the CPSU, despite the categorical objections of his wife.

Robert Stanislavovich wrote on the evil of the day, about that. What was relevant and what the whole country said. He very accurately felt the time that he found a vivid expression in his verses and songs. The circle of those who were interested in the poet was wide enough - from military topics and social realism to love lyrics.
The social activity of the poet was associated with an attempt to convey the creative heritage of many famous poets to the people. The activities of Robert Stanislavovich contributed to a wide acquaintance of the Company with works of M. Tsvetaeva, O. Martelstam, V. Vysotsky. For example, thanks to Christmas, the first collection of works by Vladimir Semenovich under the name "nerve" was published.
Robert Stanislavovich with inspiration accepted perestroika reforms. In 1986, he, together with A. Voznesensky, opened openly demanding to begin the processes of democratization and cancellation of censorship, and four years later called on the first president of the USSR to condemn anti-Semitism. However, at the end of the restructuring, the poet was among the critics of M. Gorbachev's policy.

Creation
Robert Christmas entered the literature together with a group of talented peers, among which Evgeny Yevtushenko, Bella Ahmadulin, Andrei Voznesensky, Vladimir Tsybin. The young poetry of the 1950s began with catchy manifests, seeking as soon as possible to establish themselves in the minds of readers. She helped Estrada: the verse of young years could not exist without sound. But first of all, the civil and moral pathos bribed this internally diverse lyrics, a poetic look, which claims the identity of a creative man in the center of the universe.
The characteristic property of Christmas poetry is constantly throbbing modernity, the lack of relevance of the issues that he puts before himself and before us. These questions concern such many people that instantly find a response in a wide variety of circles. If you build poems and christmas poems in chronological order, then you can make sure that the lyrical confession of the poet reflects some essential features peculiar to our public life, its movement, distress, spiritual gains and losses.
Gradually, the external overcoming of difficulties, the entire geographical entourage of youth literature of that time is replaced by another mood - the search for inner integrity, a solid moral and civil support. Publochesty broke into the poems of Christmas, and with it, and not a subsidizing memory of military childhood: this is where the story and personality for the first time dramatically connected, determining the further fate and the nature of the lyrical hero in many ways.
In poet's poets - the biography of the whole generation, his fate, resolutely determined by the mid-1950s, the time of serious public shifts in Soviet life.
A large place in the works of Robert Christmas takes a love lyrics. His hero is goable here, as in other manifestations of his character. This does not mean that, entering the zone of feelings, he does not experience dramatic contradictions, conflicts. On the contrary, all Christmas poems about love are filled with anxious cardiac movement. The path to your beloved for the poet is always a difficult path; This is essentially the search for the meaning of life, the only and unique happiness, the path to himself.
Printed began in 1950. In numerous collections, he manifested itself as one of the representatives (along with E. A. Yevtushenko, A. A. Voznesensky, B. A. Akhmadulina and others), "young poetry" of the 1950-1960s, whose work was distinguished not only sincerity and the freshness of the poetic language, but also pronounced citizenship, high pathetics, scale and contrast of the image in combination with known rationalism. Turning to current poetic topics (the struggle for peace, overcoming social injustice and national hostility, the lessons of the Second World War), the problems of the development of space, the beauty of human relations, moral and ethical obligations, the difficulties and joys of everyday life, foreign impressions, Christmas with their energetic, Patus, "combat" letters spoke by the continuer of traditions V. V. Mayakovsky.
Over the years, moving away from his characteristic declarativeness and diverse rhythmic style of verse, Christmas in the organic alloy of journalistic expressiveness and libraries created many texts of popular songs ("Peace", "Become such as I want," "pursuit" from the movie "New Adventures of Elusive" movie , 1968, director E. G. Keosayan, "Unopened Islands", "Huge Sky", "Sweet Berry", "I wish you", etc., including songs to performances and operetta "Naked King", music. T. N. Khrennikova, "Aunt Charleya", music. O. B. Feltsman, "Journey Niels with wild geese", music. V. Ya Shansky). The words of the poem "Requiem" wrote the music of D. B. Kabalevsky.

- Ksenia Robertovna Christmas (born 1970), journalist.
Robert Christmas was born on June 20, 1932 in the village of Kosika West Siberian Territory, now the Altai Territory.
Robert received her name in honor of the revolutionar of the Commander of Agriculture of the USSR Robert Eich. Since 1934, Robert lived with his parents and grandmother in Omsk. Robert's father - Stanislav Nikodimovich Petkevich was by nationality by the Pole from the family exiled to Siberia after the Warsaw uprising. He worked in the OGPU - NKVD, but quit from the NKVD in 1937 to avoid arrest, and he worked until Finnish war in Leschoz. During the war, he was a commander of the platoon of the 257th separate sapar battalion of the 123rd Rifle Division, and died in battle in Latvia on February 22, 1945. Robert Christmas told: "Upon arrival in Omsk, the father served in the NKVD. He was a high, very sport guy (I, for example, remember him on a football playground, which was behind the NKVD building ...). And in general, it was obviously a company man: a lot of friends, accordion, a good voice, in short - "death flies." This mother, of course, did not always like it. And parents often quarreled. (I remember it too). In the 37th or beginning of the 38th, the time of the next "cleaning" came. This time "cleaned" Latvians and Poles. Father's friends, learning about it, made it so that he quietly quit from the "organs". After, in my opinion, he worked as someone on a tire factory and in one of the leshozes. And then he left the Volunteer on the Finnish Front. Returned to the biggest war. And, of course, I also went to her. He died near Smolensky. And I last saw him when the father's paternal echelon stopped in Omsk for 10 minutes. I saw almost in complete darkness on the cargo perrone. I was unusual to see him, and I praised something sorry and cried. Here, in fact, everything about the father. "
Robert's mother - Vera Pavlovna Fedorova, before the war was the director of the rural elementary school, at the same time he studied at the Medical Institute, who graduated with honors in 1941. In 1937, Robert's parents divorced. From three to seven years, Robert attended a kindergarten in Omsk, and began to study in a zero preparatory class of school №19. Here he graduated from four classes. After the beginning of the war, his mother was designed to the front, after which Robert remained with his grandmother with the hope of Alekseevna Fedorova. Shocked what happened, he wrote a poem "With a rifle my dad goes on a hike ..." His school teacher took the poem to the editorial office of the Omsk Pravda newspaper, where it was published on July 8, 1941.
In April 1943, grandmother Robert died, and Vera Pavlovna briefly arrived on vacation to register his sister in her apartment. Robert lived with a phenomena and a cousin until 1944, after which his mother decided to pick up the Son to himself by issuing him as the son of the regiment. However, on the road, in Moscow, she changed its decision, and Robert got into the Danilovsky Children's Receiver. In 1943 he studied at the Military School, and later told: "There was me nine years then. The mother with his father was in war from the very beginning, I lived with my grandmother, and only when she died, the mother screamed his vacation to pick me up. I took me as the son of the shelf. I had an ad -ched form, and we went to the front. Two weeks we went. I was wildly proud - to drive a full-way in military uniform! At each station walked along the car. But in Moscow, his friends said that the front is preparing for the offensive. She was a military doctor, her place - at the operating table. Where am I where? I was afraid and left me in an orphanage. In the Danilov Monastery, half a prison, half - an orphanage. It was hurt to death that he did not hit the front. Then the uncle came, began to call in the Military Music School. And my friend with a friend - I wanted to escape from the orphanage. Again - the form. So I became a pupil of the Red Army. Dudges before the sconion. And then there was a Victory Day. On May 9, we were on Red Square. We swung. In the most salute hour - hundreds of spotlights. People threw a trifle in their rays, and she sparkled. I have a feeling from there: it is not necessary to be adults, you have to be happy. "
In 1945, Vera Pavlovna married a fellow soldier - officer Ivan Ivanovich Christmas, after which Robert got the name and middle name of the stepfather, and parents took him to Konigsberg, where both served. In 1946, the Christmas family moved to Leningrad, and in 1948 - in Petrozavodsk.
In Petrozavodsk in 1950, the first publication of the poems of Robert Christmas appeared in the magazine "At the turn". In the same year, Christmas tried to enter the literary institute named after Maxim Gorky, but unsuccessfully. Later, he studied at the historical and philological department of the Petrozavodsky State University, and in 1951, with the second attempt, Robert managed to enter the Litin Institute, which he graduated in 1956, and moved to Moscow. In the Literary Institute, Robert Christmas got acquainted with the classmate Alla Kireevoy - the future literary critic and artist.
"We met in the Litin Institute. - Alla Kireeva told Alla. - Robert was transferred to our course with Philfak, Karelian University. This shy provincial (but at the same time a boxer, a volleyball player and a basketball player who played for the Karelia national team, where the memory of Robert Christmas's memory is still being held), it was simply "styled" by verses. The atmosphere in the Litin Institute was amazing. Students in the staircase staircase, staircases, standing on the stairs, read their poems, and then heard generous: "Old man, you are a genius!" Robert was different. They attracted a kindness and shyness in it ... "We coincided with you, coincided on the day, remembered forever. As words coincide with lips. With a dry throat - water. " We really coincided with him. We are in many ways similar to fate. My parents divorced, my grandmother was raised. I was granted myself. The same and robe. After the war (when his mother was married again), his brother was born, and her parents were not to the eldest son. That's how two loneliness met. " Together we lived 41 years old. "
You know
i want every word
this morning poem
suddenly stretched to your hands,
like
recurned lilac branch.
You know
i want every line,
unexpectedly breaking out of size
and all stubborn
breaking in shreds
to respond into your heart managed.
You know
i want every letter
i would have looked in love with you.
And it would be filled with the sun,
like
rose drop on maple palm.
You know
i want the February blizzard
counterly at your feet I spread out.
And want,
so that we love each other
so many,
how much we live left.
In this happy marriage in 1957 and 1970, Robert and Alla had two daughters. One of them - Ekaterina Robertovna, became a fiction translator from English and French, journalist and photographer. As a studio photographer, she became known thanks to a series of works entitled "Private Collection" in the glossy magazine "Caravan Stories", as well as a number of other works. Another daughter - Ksenia Robertovna became a journalist.
In 1955, the Book of Christmas "Flags of Spring" was published in Karelia. A year later, the poem "My Love" came out. At that time, Robert Christmas entered the literature together with a group of talented peers, among which Evgeny Yevtushenko, Bella Ahmadulin, Andrei Voznesensky and Vladimir Tsybin. The young poetry of the 1950s began with catchy manifests, seeking as soon as possible to establish himself in the minds of readers. Estrada helped her: the poems of those years could not exist without sound. But readers, first of all, bribed the civil and moral pathos of this internally diverse lyrics, a poetic look, which argued the identity of a creative man in the center of the universe. The characteristic property of Christmas poetry is a constantly throbbing modernity, the lack of relevance of the issues that he put before himself and the readers. These questions concerned so many people that they instantly found a response in a wide variety of circles. If you build poems and christmas poems in chronological order, you can make sure that the lyrical confession of the poet reflected some essential features peculiar to our social life, its movement, distress, spiritual gains and losses. "Many believed that Robert was" bought "by the Soviet government," Alla Kireeva told, - but in fact Robert just sincerely believed in communism. In the early publications, there are many confessions of love for his homeland, to the "Blood Blood Flag". However, he did not always have an even relationship with the authorities. Here is just one episode. Nikolai Gribachev wrote a poem "No, boys", which was directed against the sixties poets, allegedly poured the covenants of fathers, and therefore doomed to the nonsense. Christmas perceived it as a challenge and answered the poem "Yes, boys." On the eve of the meeting of writers and poets with Khrushchev, he showed the poem to the then Partnership of the Writers of Writers Stepan Schitchev. He was horrified, asked to destroy the manuscript. But the poems were read, and Khrushchev shouted in rabies: "Comrade Christmas, it's time to stand under the banners of your fathers!". The punishment followed, many people tried to forget about Christmas. He was not published, they were not invited to meetings ... Then the secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU Kapitonov for some reason did not like the poem "Morning", as a result, Robert was forced to go from Moscow to Kyrgyzstan. Worked there by transferring verses of local poets into Russian. From Frunze, he sent me a letter with such a lines: "I go out one on the road, which I prevailed. Night of the quiet, the desert is included in God ... it all gave us a party. " But relationship with the authorities is one thing, and quite another - faith in ideals. When they collapsed, he did not want to live. In one of his last poems there are such lines: "I wrote from the joy of a chalemon, about how wisely look from the Mausoleum on us the leaders" special order "(I knew little. And it helped.) I didn't try to doubt faith. Poems passed. And the shame for them remained. "
We are to blame

I ask, at least briefly,
My pain, you leave me.
Cloud, Size cloud,
You fly to your home
Hence the hometown.
My shore, show away
The edge, thin line.
My shore, gentle,
Ah, to you, native, would be stuck,
Would not be accumulated although B ever.
Somewhere far away somewhere far
Mushroom rains are going.
Right at the river, in a small garden
Cherry ripe, leaving to the ground.
Somewhere far in my memory
Now, as in childhood, warm,
Although the memory is covered
Such big snow.
You are a thunderstorm, drink me
Before drunk, yes not to death.
Here again, as the last time,
I'm looking somewhere in the sky,
As if looking for a response ...

In the 1990s, Christmas published collections of poems "insomnia", "intersection", poems for children - "Alyoshkin Thoughts".
In 1972, Robert Christmas received a premium of Leninsky Komsomol, and in 1979 the State Prize of the USSR was awarded.
Robert Christmas was three times in the jury of the Cannes Film Festival. He first found himself at the Cannes Festival in 1968, in 1979 he persuaded Francoise Sagan to give Konchalovsky's Siberiad prize, and in 1973 he supported the "big burning" Frereri.
Together with him, he watched the situation in France. His wife Alla Kireyev, who told: "In general, in Cannes, there was an absolutely ordinary life in Cannes, but everyone was very excited, they said that in Paris turn the cars in Paris. It even was told in the palace of festivals from the stage. And suddenly everyone began to walk with red bows, hidden diamond pins, were supported by an anti-burguza revolution. Some confusion and organizers of the festival, and participants felt. And it was discussed to close the festival generally. Jury members when they met, solved this issue. Robert was as far as I remember, for the festival to continue: after all, they came to work, and not to strike. And in fact, it was a feeling that no one treated this revolution seriously ... Roberta was asked to answer the questionnaire questions in some Cannes newspaper, and printed his answers called "Who are you, christmas?". There were some naive questions, like: "What kind of films do you think can be deeper than just to touch the public internationally?", Or: "Tell us what should be the ideal movie?" There was another question: "Are there any" idols "in Russia, for the actions and gestures of which the audience greedily follows?" Robert replied to this question: "Idols", in your understanding, exist. But, in my opinion, it is not a public following their gestures and actions, and the "idols" themselves are jealously followed by actions and gestures of each other. " Well, in general, answered with humor. And here Alex Moscow read this interview, came to the puppy delight, found us himself, met ... We hang out on his yacht - he just won this yacht in the card. And here I look, sits there a aunt with this is a diamond in the wolf. I ask quietly: "Alik, is it present?" He me: "Fool! In Cannes, the unreal does not happen! " Drove us in a casino, I danced there with Omar Sharif. "
Since 1986, Robert Christmas was Chairman of the Commission on the literary heritage of Osip Mandelstam, was directly involved in the case of Mandelstam's rehabilitation. Christmas was also chairman of the commission on the literary heritage of Marina Tsvetaeva, and achieved the opening of the House-Museum Tsvetaeva in Moscow. He was Chairman of the Commission on the Literary Heritage of Vladimir Vysotsky, and the Book of Vysotsky Vysotsky "Nerve" poems published in the USSR in 1981.
Pretty years were given to the poet hard, as he himself repeatedly said: "I do not hide: I then was a believer - believer Stalin, in Stalin. It was precisely Vera - with his saints, martyrs, commandments. We then even an oath was a boyish in the courtyard: "Honest Leninsky-Stalinist all leaders." We were happy with happiness of ignorance. Then, learning, I was horrified. Especially I was shocked that even when I did not have time to protect the city, to take plants - to shoot prisoners always had time ... would I decline from "Requiem" and "210 steps"? - From "Requiem" - no. In the "210 steps" there are some stiffs that ... no, let it all sincere. I did not achieve anything with these verses. I don't consider yourself to dissidents: I wrote about what I believed, I did not give me. Although Hrenovina with censorship was still. " The poet's wife recalled in an interview: "His perestrooking years was abomed. I remember, he was offered to head the editors of the "Sparkle". After meeting in the Central Committee of the CPSU, he returned home completely depressed and said: "Alka, I don't have forces on it." "Excuse and live your life," I advised. So he did, recommending the post of chief editor of our friend Vitaly Korotich. I am grateful to Vitaly, he supported Robert in his last years of life: published poems, published books. Although "Fashion on the Sixties has already passed, and a new generation was not fond of verses. Robert turned out to be unclaimed. He did not find out the relationship with anyone, avoided conversations "souls." I went to my world. Here is one of his poems of those years:
We will grieve on the table.
Soul open on the table ...
We will vote on the table.
We will write on the table ...
And hear from the table moan ...
Christmas practically locked in Peredelkino in his Moscow apartment. He was always a domico, did not like noisy companies and secular events, after filming and speeches immediately drove home. In early 1990, the doctors set him a diagnosis of brain cancer. Friends helped him with an operation in France, and when he extremely launched with traces of operations on the forehead flashed in one of the television shows - the country sighed reliefly - alive. I remember this TV show, I remember how Robert Ivanovich sadly answered the questions of the correspondent and, of course, I remember his words: "Yes, normal, an old man. I work. I work a lot ... "- Hearing the answer, I understood: if something is wrong, Robert Christmas does not go down to complaints. He was always not indifferent to strong people, repeatedly wrote about them, and when he came up a hard hour, it turned out that he had no less inferior to his heroes. A rare example, to the big poet and a big man merged together:
Dear doctor!
You still do not know
what will happen to me the operation.
And I already reported,
that in my brain I have a tumor
the size of a chicken egg, -
(interesting,
who made it a chicken,
carrying such eggs?! ..)
I had bad marks in the anatomy school.
But today the soft word "tumor"
karyabat me and scares me -
(especially since it grows for some reason
contrary to my desire) ...
No, I believe, of course, the stories of doctors,
that "the operation will pass as necessary",
i believe that she is "not too complicated"
and "almost completely dangerous",
but still, after all, Dr.,
i hope you have at school
with anatomy was normal
and that your hands do not tremble,
and the heart beats measured ...
Your profession is very visual, doctor,
too visual.
But we are writing poems -
also try to operate tumors,
eternal tumors of dishonority and malice,
envy and thoughtless!
We operate in words.
And the words - (you understand, doctor!) -
not coupled to your drills, mills and saws
(or what else do you have there?!).
Words are bouncing from human skulls,
like grades from iron roofs ...
Well, if the operation is completed failure
(Of course, you do not have it, but suddenly ...)
So: if the operation is completed,
You will probably hurt.
And I about everything instantly forget.
I will be in any way.
Forever in any way ...
... However, do not too sad, doctor.
Do not.
You are not to blame.
Let's take it with you
that the strange chicken is to blame
which someone once brought
only in order
so that it is in a human brain
nest
these tumor eggs.
Robert Ivanovich Christmas died in Moscow on August 19, 1994 from a heart attack and was buried in Peredelkino.
In the same year, the collection "The latest poems of Robert Christmas" was released in Moscow. In 1997, the name of Robert Christmas was assigned to a small planet registered in the international catalog of small planets under No. 5360.
Before death, Robert Christmas wife was written: "Cute, native alenushka! For the first time, I send you a letter from our summer cottage to the first floor. So it has come such a time. I thought for a long time, what would you give to this - (I still do not believe!) - Common Anniversary. And then he saw a three-grader standing on the shelf and even laughed at joy and thanks to you. In the morning, I made bookmarks to the verses that (already from the 51st year!) One way or another, have an attitude towards you ... You are a co-author of almost everything I wrote. "
There was a time when our parents deposited the Polytechnic Museum, Luzhniki, TsDL for the sake of meeting with Robert Christmas. There was a time when we, the children of our parents, sang songs to the poems of Robert Christmas in companies and campaigns, under the guitar and at the concerts of school VIA. For us - Poet Robert Christmas is a whole epoch in Russian Soviet poetry. He was able to talk about the great country of Russia, about heroes and ordinary people, about the grand accomplishments and cases of small. In Christmas, everything worked amazingly talented and sincerely. The poet knew how to talk about great. About love, about country, about man. His poems sounded in songs that became not only a symbol of the era, but also a symbol of a whole country, the whole people. "Pogony" from "Elusive Avengers", "Become such", "Huge Sky". And, of course, the main domestic series of the countries "Seventeen Moments of Spring"! He is pierced by the lyrics of his poems laid on the music of Mikael Tariverdieva. He turned out to be much more modern and more relevant to the era in which he lived. No wonder the songs on the poems of Robert Christmas were and remain popular today.
About Robert Christmas in 2007 was filmed a documentary "I lived for the first time on this earth."
