The twentieth century gave the world a lot of writers whose works became famous and won the love of millions of people. And one of these talents was Alexander Twardowski. A brief biography of him, however, as well as its full form, are studied in the school curriculum. And no wonder, because the life of this Soviet writer and poet was full of interesting and at the same time tragic events. This article will present a brief biography of Twardowski for those who have not yet familiarized with it earlier. Urgently correct this oversight.
So, the future poet and writer was born in 1910. This significant event took place in the
Smolensk province in the family of a blacksmith, whose name was Tryphon. Alexander's mother is Maria Mitrofanovna. The father of the future writer was a well-read man, so in the house one could often hear reading aloud Lermontov, Pushkin, Nikitin, Gogol, Ershov and so on. It is not surprising that little Sasha began to write poetry early. Moreover, at that time he could neither read them, nor write, since he was illiterate. His first poem was an angry denunciation of yard boys who devastated bird nests.
A brief biography of Twardowski reports that already at school, when he was 14 years old, he took up the post of Selkor of local newspapers. And in 1925, these publications first published poetry of the poet. After 4 years, Alexander goes to Moscow to find there a literary work to his liking. But after about a year he returned to Smolensk, studied at the Pedagogical Institute and lived here until 1936. Around the same period, tragic events took place in the writer's life. His family was dispossessed and exiled. But, in spite of everything, a series of essays entitled “On the Collective Farm Smolensk Region” appears. The poem "Country of Ants" can be safely called a serious stage in all his work.
In 1936, Alexander still moved to Moscow. This is reported by a brief biography of Twardowski. And during his studies at the Institute of History, Philosophy and Literature, he did a lot of translating classics of the peoples of the USSR. When Alexander was a student, he was awarded the
Order of Lenin for his services in the field of literature. Thanks to the fact that the writer achieved all-Union recognition, he manages to return his family from exile.
The military path of the poet begins in 1939. He actively participates in campaigns as a military commissar. And the works created precisely in the war years bring Twardowski large-scale fame. What is the poem "Vasily Terkin." Every educated person at least once in his life, but read it. The poem “The House by the Road”, which describes the horrors and hopelessness of war, is also notorious. These are far from all the works that glorified the poet and which A. T. Twardowski was proud of.
His brief biography reports that in the post-war years he was a deputy in one of the districts of the Vladimir region, then Voronezh. And in 1950, the writer was appointed to the post of editor of the magazine under the name "New World". In the next decade, Twardowski continues to create. And the magazine takes on a new focus with the permission of Khrushchev. The Neo-Stalinists did not appreciate such changes, so after the removal of Nikita Sergeyevich, a campaign was carried out against the New World. Glavlit did not allow important materials to be published, but no one could formally dismiss Alexander Twardowski. As alternatives to this, his deputies were removed from their posts, and in their place came hostile people. A brief biography of Twardowski tells us that he still had to resign in 1970, however, the magazine team left with him. At the end of 1971, December 18, Alexander Twardowski fell ill and soon died. A well-known writer, a respected and simply talented man, was buried in the Novodevichy cemetery in Moscow.
