Writer Biography
Andrey Anisimov was born on December 29, 1943. Information about his parents and children's years of life is very small. It is known that from a very young age he was very alienated about politics. One could even say I was truly disgusted by any organizations and dissidents. Surprisingly, he was able to avoid joining the pioneers and even the Komsomol, but there was no question of any political parties.
Has an art education. He began his first studies at the Moscow secondary art school at the Institute. Surikova (Moscow Art School), however, was not destined to retrain. Due to poor behavior, Anisimov Andrey was expelled. The same story repeated six more times in educational institutions of a similar profile.
Beginning of a creative career
In 1960, while still a student, Andrei Anisimov published his work in many print publishing houses. His creations could be seen in the magazines "Around the World", "Worker", "Secular Woman", "Soviet Union" and others. Literary miniatures and humorous drawings were well received by the public. He also took an active part in the then-popular television magazine Television Satire. At that time, the editor of the magazine was Marat Gyulbekyan, one of the founders of the humorous KVN television program. Anisimov was invited to the program as a guest, where he composed feuilleton live and immediately drew humorous pictures to them. Thanks to his fame in literary circles, Anisimov Andrey was invited to work in the newspaper.
First serious post
More he decided not to tempt fate and instead of writing a diploma he went to work for Literaturnaya Gazeta, exactly at the time when it began to be transformed into a weekly publication in the early sixties. He had a new and very strange post as artistic editor of the newspaper.
Essentially, his job was to advertise a new weekly publisher. During the advertising campaign, Anisimov traveled to almost every corner of a huge country, he urged to subscribe to the publication and created successful brochures. This post introduced him to a lot of interesting people.
Theatrical career
However, business trips could not be eternal, the time came when they were no longer needed. Life has become monotonous and uninteresting. Anisimov could not sit still and decided to quit the newspaper and go on a trip. His trip to Central Asia dragged on for several years. At this time, he managed to work as the main artist in one of the famous theaters in Asia.
It was at this time that he began to actively create his works. Returning to Moscow in the mid-seventies, he continues to write plays. He realized more and more that he would like to write romance novels and prose, but he understood that this could only be done during the Khrushchev thaw, which was drawing to a close. He has to shut up for a long time, since his works are much more diverse and more complicated, and therefore they do not fit the accepted literary and ideological cliches of the regime of that time. The ability to write again could appear only after perestroika.
Unable to do his favorite thing, he continues to work as a theater artist, intensively learns to master and masters the technology of decorative porcelain. At this time, travels a lot around the world, without stopping writing for a day. Unable to print, he writes, as they say, to the table.
Passion for china
During the literary lull, he actively learns the intricacies of porcelain art. In the eighties, he decides to settle in Estonia and acquires a house there, to which he lives to this day. In the same place, in the very center of the capital, the author's Porselan salon opens, in which it sells decorative porcelain products. In his salon it was possible to purchase both vases, chandeliers, coasters, and original women's jewelry.
Literary work
In his free time, Anisimov continues to create. However, it begins to print only in 1990. The first work to be released after a long lull was the novel Stepan Goldobin's Notebook, which was included in the Moscow Worker collection. The collection itself was published in the same 1990 and was called the “Science Fiction Workshop”.
Further, the publishing company "Rus" already in a separate book publishes the novel "Chernukha". This work is anti-utopian, in it the author tries to predict the future of Russia as a democratic state. Surprisingly, the work recreates events that actually happened in the near future in Russia. Such events include the formation of the European Union and the construction of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow, but the work was written in 1998.
Initially, Anisimov's works are published in Estonia in such well-known literary magazines as Tallinn and Rainbow. The very first collection of Anisimov's prose was published in the series “Tallinn Journal Library” by the publishing house “Alexandra” under the name “Scarlet Chizh”. He was fond of literature in his free time from the work of a ceramic artist.
Professional career
Until 2000, he wrote in his spare time, and these were light works, the professional literary career of Anisimov as an author began after the publication of the action-packed novel "Nudists Do Not Play Golf." For the first time, readers could get to know him on the pages of the Vesti weekly, where the novel was published for a whole year. In a separate book format, the novel was edited by the same Estonian publishing house Alexandria in Estonian and Russian. Also, this publishing house published poetry collections “We Are All Emigrants in Russia” and “Light a Candle”. Anisimov still works with this publishing house. You can still see his works in the Tallinn magazine.
Since 2001, Anisimov began to cooperate with the IG "AST" and concludes a contract for the purchase of copyright. This publishing house published his novels “The Master and Aphrodite” and “Paints of Love”, the novel “Casino Dog Ground” (“Dog Ground Casino”), memoirs “Notes of the Fisherman”, the action-packed novel “Savior of the World” and much more.
The book “Savior of the World” impressed readers and gave critics a lot of work. The fact is that the author very frivolously decided to mix fictional characters with historical figures, thereby making it difficult to determine the genre of the work.
To date, the latest work, which was presented to the public, was the novel "Access to the body." Unfortunately, for ideological reasons in Russia they did not publish it.

The series of detective novels “Gemini” contains six books: “Gemini: Eastern inheritance”, “Blood interest”, “Who shot the freak?”, “Testament of the son”, “Detective bureau Erozhina” and “Good killer”.
The first film adaptation of his novel was very successful and brought Anisimov fame not only among book lovers, but also film enthusiasts, but he did not begin to film more of his works.
