Children's literature has always been and remains in demand, exerting an immense influence on kids. Several generations grew up on the books of beloved authors, the first to show kids a clear line between good and evil, to teach them to learn the laws of nature, the rules of communication with each other, to introduce history and other sciences in an exposition that is understandable to the child. Many ideals taken from children's books written by Soviet writers became the basis for the formation of the character of a person. They remain in the human mind until the end of life.
Soviet children's writers - authors of books for the young generation - are a kind of educators who have assumed moral and moral responsibility for the formation of a worthy personality. In the adult generation of Russians, these names evoke the most pleasant associations.
Soviet children's writers: Agnia Barto
Almost everyone is familiar with the verses of the Soviet poetess Agnia Barto. The family, the pioneers, the life of Soviet schoolchildren is the main theme of her kind, often ridiculous, works that are popular among both children and adults. In them, Agnia Barto spoke the language of a real child, and in her life she did truly adult acts: she found and returned hundreds of children scattered throughout the country to the families of their families. The matter, it would seem, is hopeless, because in childhood, few people know about themselves complete information (address, physical signs, necessary names). But many children could remember the bright moments of life (how they rode with Egor on a sled, how the rooster pecked painfully between the eyes, how they played with his beloved dog Dzhulbars). These are the memories Agnia Barto, who knew how to speak the language of children, used in her search.
For 9 years she was the host of the radio show "Find a Man", on the air of which she read out unique signs from letters flying from all over the country. Only the first issue helped seven families find their families, and for all the time, under the strict guidance of Agniya Barto, who worked as a translator from the "children's language", 927 families managed to reunite.
Soviet writers: Eduard Uspensky
A prominent representative of children's writers of the Soviet era is Eduard Uspensky. Crocodile Gena, Cheburashka, postman Pechkin, cat Matroskin, Uncle Fedor - and today these cartoon characters remain beloved and enter every home.
The resulting engineering education did not prevent Eduard Uspensky from becoming a favorite children's author. His book heroes have successfully migrated to television screens and have delighted the viewer with their adventures for several decades now. Many of them had real prototypes. So, in the
old woman Shapoklyak, the writer portrayed his first wife, a lady who was harmful in every way. A friend Nikolai Taraskin put on the image of the cat Matroskin: smart, hardworking and economic. At first, Ouspensky wanted to give the same name to the cat, but the friend "got into a pose" and did not allow, although later (after the cartoon was released) he regretted it more than once. A girl in a huge fur coat, once seen by a writer in a store, became the prototype of everyone's beloved Cheburashka. Parents chose the baby in the summer coat for growth, and the girl in it just could not walk. As soon as she took a step, she fell. Dad, lifting her from the floor once again, said: "Well, what are you cheburashka" (from the word "cheburahatsya" - to fall, to crash).
Korney Chukovsky is a favorite of children
But who does not know the verses of Korney Chukovsky: “Fly-Tsokotuha”, “Moidodyr”, “Cockroach”, “Aibolit”, “Barmaley”? Many Soviet writers created under their real name. Chukovsky - it was the pseudonym of Korneychukov Nikolai Vasilievich. He wrote his most widely read works for his and his daughter Murochka, who died of tuberculosis at the age of 11. The poem “Aibolit” was a cry from the soul about a magical doctor who would fly in and save everyone. In addition to Murochka, Chukovsky had three more children.
All his life, Korney Ivanovich helped those who turned to him for help, using his fame, charm and artistry for this. Not all Soviet writers were capable of such open actions, but he sent money, knocked out pensions, places in hospitals, apartments, helped talented young writers get through, fought for those who were arrested, and took care of orphaned families. By the way, in honor of the Fly – Tsokotuha entomologist A. P. Ozerov in 1992 named a new species of anteater flies from the Diptera order - mucha tzokotucha.
The role of Soviet writers in the formation of personality
Soviet writers made a significant contribution to children's literature, having grown several generations of wonderful people in their works. How kindly, colorful and informative Vitaly Bianki, Mikhail Prishvin, Igor Akimushkin tell children about the beauty of nature, instilling love for her and our younger brothers from a young age. Such well-known Soviet writers as Arkady Gaidar, Valentin Kataev, Boris Zakhoder, Grigory Oster and many others are still popular among readers today, because through all their works the idea of kindness and compassion for one’s neighbor runs through the red thread.
