which e and before the revolution and e, in the first years of soviet power suited the life of writers. well, about the soviet period , the union of writers is better known there. yes, there is peredelkino there and so on, and before the revolution it was a publishing house of knowledge, in which all the best about bunnies of that time were published bunin kuprin zaitsev they are there andreev shmelev uh tv show in serafimovich you can continue to receive huge fees, right? they had the opportunity to eat abroad to live by writing - that's all. in general, gorky arranged well, it turns out very such a blissful picture, just such an ascetic without a piece of silver takes care of others, but in fact he lived in an era when everything was falling apart at the seams, and i have a feeling that he just had a hand in making the old life end he took an active part in revolutionary

activities gave money to lenin i remember his letter to the writer kndrushkin was such a writer. and where does he directly say that this is to destroy this country, this empire. and when all this collapsed and the october revolution comes, bitter. all don't like it at all. let's do it alexei and that means that everyone wanted a revolution. well, almost everyone except, uh, a very small number of conservative people. and everyone hated the monarchy; practically the entire intelligentsia was set up revolutionary, and he was the first student. he was not the first student. he was a very good student to me. he made it a revolution. well, you have to understand that gorky's life is divided into several periods of very active participation in the revolution. and indeed the financing of the bolsheviks in

including participation in not very plausible deeds. like, for example, receiving part of the inheritance. there, savva morozova, through the actress andreeva, or the legacy of such a manufacturer , the young schmidt, who died under very mysterious circumstances, was killed in prison , and some other things. there is another bitter gorky who really burned himself in the revolution and who began to fight for culture, therefore gorky cannot be different, as it were, to evaluate only from one point of view. ah, revolutionary. yes revolutionary, they were all revolutionized. only gorky was active, what do you think? what is really connected with his such extraordinary excess human energy. yes , just like that, you see, this is not one person, but there is just a lot of passionary things unconditionally born. is the era and gorky wider than just

writing? this must be understood. this is not just writing or this is a person who is the ruler of the duma of feelings, a person who really changed the life of that time and before the revolution. after the revolution, of course, on the other hand. gorky spent 14 years in exile in italian migration, first on a square, where he hits. uh, after she ends up in petropavlovka for participating in the revolution of 905 , she should be judged, but as they would say now , under the pressure of world public opinion, yes, she advocates. european writers and public figures are also visible there, and he is being sent abroad. he goes to america goes to america by the way, also with the specific purpose of asking american millionaires for money for the revolution. what are you giving him? is something not given? in general, i got burned a little on this american trip. by the way, he writes there

mother's story, and then he settles in capri for 7 years, he cannot go to russia and this is absolutely such a creative period, although a huge number of people came to him. he continued to communicate with lenin, he left there for the school for uh, workers and and and so on, but, nevertheless. he is such a period, the second period is also italian , this is 21 to 28 years, when he lives in saransk there, it is also absolutely such a fairly calm period for him. eh, gorky in general, i don’t even understand when he managed to do everything, to be honest, there are 10,000 to write in writing here 25 tammov. uh, only about the same number of fiction writings carry out such activities as a public political publishing house, there and so on. this man held 100 people. well agree that today's pizza. here is his public activity, can be interpreted, at least, but ambiguously.

but still, if you try to understand, and why did it turn out from a boy yes , born in this middle-class environment, and with childhood, which he then so brilliantly describes in his autobiographical stories. well in general, it is clear that childhood was very difficult. wandering youth has no education whatsoever. that's how it happened, there he climbed to the very top. was it just his talented essence here, or was there a calculation behind this, behind this was a strategy, behind this was some very right choice made in life or the people who promoted it. here behind the scenes, relatively speaking, i guessed how it was. here, uh, well, everything at once is that talent from god is unconditional. well, look at his first very first story makarychev yes, gorky's debut provincial newspaper kavkaz and fleece and e and immediately shede. makar chudra was filmed several times there and is still read and amazingly amazingly written,

that is, the gift of the gift was certainly a calculation, er, gorky was. yes, definitely a thoughtful person. especially from a certain point. this is how he built his life. he was a politician. e is not always a successful policy would say. here. uh, by the way , regarding the fact that the destroyer, i would not say that gorky was a destroyer even in the period their here are such revolutionary hobbies. here, what is he doing? as a matter of fact, when he lives on the frame, he tries to reconcile laziness and opposition, which is inside big evgs. in general, he always tried to reconcile everyone. actually gorky here is his peacekeeping mission. for some reason, it is less noticeable than the fact that he was a revolutionary there. he tried to reconcile stalin's opposition there. he tried to try on writing or different directions, but at the same time he could sometimes bring himself out of tough and

even cruel sometimes you know i had such a a very short conversation with the widow of a very good writer vseuda ivanova tamara ivanovna well, she talked, mostly about ivanovil, but i asked. she knew gorky, she was personally acquainted with him. i asked what kind of gorky she had in mind, he was different, he really was different. very different at different moments of his life, gorky until the capricious period, this is one person, and gorky lived on a drop. hmm , run in, as it were, this european life. it is completely different even in the pictures it is different. ok then. that wins the february revolution, which he most likely treated well, well, of course, and then the october revolution, and here, as i understand it, very big problems begin, because gorky from such a staunch supporter of the bolsheviks becomes an opponent of what

they are doing. yes, the book does not come out in a timely manner and thoughts, in which it presents a rather tough account, but to the bolsheviks. how to explain this, what is behind this, he had two claims, big for centuries. hmm not su- the thought also needs to be carefully read. don't think it's just like this criticism, criticism of criticism, as it were uh , he really ceases to be a member of the party after the seventeenth year, because there , uh, no one even leaves him, but because there was a re-registration and he did not go through it. that is, he is gorky after the seventeenth year, a non-communist and more. uh, two claims, the first claim is that the bolsheviks, er, imprison and repress the intelligentsia. the same intelligentsia that actually supported them. this is the first claim, the second is more difficult gorky

gorky had a very traumatic experience of communication with christianity from a young age, when they are with such a populist romas. let's go to the village to preach. uh, populist values, and as a result, they just burned a shop there and almost killed them. gorky believed that the russian peasantry. this dark mass is huge. and the main danger is that it will absorb, that small layer. uh, the cultures of the intelligentsia that exist in russia will simply devour. here's how to say it. and since the bolsheviks were inflating just a civil war, that is, they supported it gorky. this is his claim, what, uh, you seem to be fanning this civil war, as a result of which the peasantry will simply come and devour the city and will not be among the winter palaces. in general, this whole culture. there is intelligence. literature,

nothing will. that's just the intelligentsia, as he writes. this is salt. uh, a pot of salt to be thrown into the ocean. was he right or wrong with this, so to speak, peasant mass? this is a very complex controversial issue, but gorky had such an attitude towards the peasantry. and he had, besides me, thoughts was such a pamphlet about the russian peasantry, which was published in berlin and where the russian peasantry is spoken of very terribly. you became minister of culture in such a difficult time. in general , under-entertainment is not up to the arts. i had it like this and i didn’t, because it’s an incredible feeling of responsibility that your nervous system has to handle. i was very worried, including for my family and children. they weren't happy. and why did they write sms, they were afraid for me, that this would lead to very serious changes in my life as and how will you be, and what will you have

even more work at the time of your stay abroad . how many outstanding paintings there were a lot of paintings, we had a sufficient number of expositions that took place in a special operation of yours, in order to return them it was important to understand exactly that every masterpiece that is located in a friendly or not friendly country for the duration of the spices will return back and remain in the museum russian federation under
