« Lifelife goes on, because there is work and there is hope.

LifeIt also goes because there are books that give hope.”

G.N. Troepolsky

November 29, 2015 - 110 years of Gavriil Troepolsky, author of the world famous novel “White Bim Black Ear.”

The famous Russian writer Gavriil Nikolaevich Troepolsky lived long life, remaining a caring, brave and honest person, a person of active goodness. G. Troepolsky introduced the reader to real people of different characters, morals, and quirks. Gabriel Nikolaevich often used stories from his own life in his works, successfully combining real events and fiction. “I am for writing about everything... If you write only about good, then for evil it is a godsend, a brilliance; if you write only about happiness, then people will stop seeing the unhappy, they won’t notice,” the writer said.

G. N. Troepolsky wrote several books: “Chernozem”, “Candidate of Sciences”, “Prokhor X VII and others”, “Stories”.

But his main book is the poignant story “White Bim Black Ear.” A tragic book about a dog and its life among people, full of adventures, joys and sorrows. The author, with great faith in the victory of good over evil and untruth, raises complex moral issues. This is a book that, once you start reading it, you can't put it down."White Bim Black Ear" is“a word to little people who will later become adults, a word to adults who have not forgotten that they were once children”, - wrote Gavriil Nikolaevich Troepolsky.

The story “White Bim Black Ear” brought the writer the USSR State Prize in 1975. G. N. Troepolsky was awarded the Italian prize in the field of children's and youth literature - "Bancarellino". The book was published in many countries and was translated into many languages. In American colleges, “White Bim Black Ear” is included in the compulsory literature program.

Director Stanislav Rostotsky shot a wonderful two-part film with Vyacheslav Tikhonov in the title role. A touching lyrical film story about the fate of a dog losing its beloved owner, about the attitude of people towards “lesser brothers”, made many people cry over the fate of Bim.

In 1998, a monument to the dog White Bim Black Ear was unveiled in Voronezh. One of the streets in Voronezh is named after the writer. One of the city's libraries also bears his name.

More details about the fate of the writer can be read in the book of the Voronezh writer M. Fedorov “Chernozem Man”. This is a documentary novel based on the memories of the writer’s relatives, friends and acquaintances, archival materials and publications. The book also talks about the fate a priest from the outback - Father Nikolai Troepolsky, executed in 1931 for resisting collectivization. It also included a story about the case of Nikolai Troepolsky, “Father of the Writer. Case No...." The writer M.I. Fedorov was personally acquainted with G. Troepolsky and considers him one of those people who guided him through life and helped him not to deviate from his goal - to become a writer.

Statements by G. N. Troepolsky

“You have to live in such a way that you are not afraid to sell your parrot to the biggest gossip in town.”

“You can say stupid things, but not in a solemn tone”

“So warm friendship and devotion became happiness, because each understood each other and each did not demand from the other more than what he could give. This is the basis, the salt of friendship."

“Not a single dog in the world considers ordinary devotion to be something unusual. But people have come up with the idea of ​​extolling this feeling of a dog as a feat only because not all of them, and not very often, have such devotion to a friend and loyalty to duty that this is the root of life, the natural basis of the being itself, when the nobility of the soul is a self-evident state.”

1905 - 1995

Troepolsky Gabriel Nikolaevich(16(29).11.1905-30.06.1995) - prose writer, publicist, playwright, member of the Writers' Union (1954), laureate of the USSR State Prize (1975), honorary citizen of Voronezh (1993), honorary doctor of VSU (1993). Awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor (1971, 1984), Friendship of Peoples (1981).
Born in the village of Novospasskoye, Kozlovsky volost, Borisoglebsky district, Tambov province (now Gribanovsky district, Voronezh region) in the family of priest Nikolai Semenovich Troepolsky.
Gabriel was named after his maternal grandfather Elena Gavrilovna. There were six children in the family. Due to the circumstances of the time, G. Troepolsky had to study in four secondary educational institutions. He started at the Novokhopyorsk gymnasium, continued at the second-level school in the village of Novogolskoye, Novokhopyorsk district, Voronezh province, with the famous teacher Grigory Romanovich Shirma. G. N. Troepolsky later recalled: “I would hardly have become a writer if I had not met Grigory Romanovich in my life. He taught us to think about what we read. Under his leadership, we became thoroughly acquainted with the works of Russian classics. It also helped that the school had an excellent library.”
After the closure of the school in the village of Novogolsky, G. Troepolsky graduated from the last grade in Novokhopyorsk. Then he enters the secondary agricultural school (the village of Aleshki, Borisoglebsk district).
After graduating from college (1924), Troepolsky worked as a teacher near his hometown - in the villages of Pitim and Makhrovka. The beginning of teaching coincides with the first literary experiments. He constantly kept notes - here were hunting notes and individual sketches of everyday peasant life.
At the very end of the twenties, N. Nikandrov arrived in the village of Makhrovka, by that time he had extensive literary experience; he had been publishing even before the revolution. Gabriel Nikolaevich said: “This was the first professional writer in my life with whom I had the opportunity to meet and talk. It was to him that I showed my first stories. N. Nikandrov said: “This is hardly suitable for the capital’s press, but be sure to write.”
Since 1931, Gavriil Troepolsky switched to agronomic work, first as a junior researcher, and then as the head of the Aleshkovsky stronghold of the Voronezh regional experimental station. From 1937 to 1954, he was in charge of the state variety testing site for grain crops in Ostrogozhsk, and was engaged in millet selection. One of the varieties he bred was zoned in the Central Black Earth zone (“Ostrogozhskoye-9”). Published in the journal “Breeding and Seed Production”.
G. Troepolsky lived in Ostrogozhsk for more than 20 years. During these years, he often attended literary group classes at the editorial office of the regional newspaper " New life", talked with newspaper employees, including the poet Vasily Kubanev.
G. Troepolsky began publishing in 1937. His first story “Grandfather”, signed with the pseudonym “T. Lirvag", was published in the almanac "Literary Voronezh" (1938, No. 1).
In 1953-1954. The magazine “New World” published a series of satirical stories “From the Notes of an Agronomist”, which were later included in the collection “Prokhor XVII and Others”. Despite the fact that the Voronezh Regional Party Committee recognized the notes as “defamatory” and “spiteful”, A. T. Tvardovsky supported the author, and since then almost all of Troepolsky’s works of the 1950s and 60s (stories, short stories, essays, articles) first saw the light of day on the pages of Novy Mir. The writers were united by a true friendship that grew stronger over the years. All his life Troepolsky was grateful to A. T. Tvardovsky for his active participation in his creative destiny. He often went to visit Tvardovsky, discussed his new ideas with him and received additional creative energy from him. After the poet's death, Troepolsky often visited his family.
“Notes of an Agronomist” brought the author all-Union fame. Based on them, the film script “Earth and People” was written, based on which the director S. Rostotsky made a film of the same name, released in 1956.
The works of G. N. Troepolsky, often built on a documentary basis and personal experience, organically combine essayism and lyricism, common sense and civic pathos.
The journalistic essays “On Rivers, Soils and Others,” which A. Tvardovsky had difficulty pushing into print, evoked a wide response from the public ( New world, 1965, No. 1). Gavriil Nikolayevich traveled all over the Central Black Earth Region in his old “Muscovite” and collected a huge amount of material in defense of the surrounding nature.
In the second half of the 1950s. Troepolsky received recognition as one of the best representatives of essay and journalistic prose on agricultural topics.

In 1958, the satirical story “Candidate of Sciences” was published. Then the story “In the Reeds” (1963) was published, reviving interest in the world of the individual. The story received positive reviews from critics. The novel “Chernozem” is dedicated to the tragic period of collectivization (1958-1961, books 1-2).
In the 66th year of his life, G. N. Troepolsky published a work that brought him world fame - the story “White Bim Black Ear” (1971), which he dedicated to A. T. Tvardovsky.
The writer told publicist Anatoly Sviridov about the creation of “White Bim Black Ear”: “The first reader of the story “White Bim Black Ear” was Alexander Trifonovich Tvardovsky, to whom it was dedicated during his lifetime and with his consent. And it would have been published in his magazine, but in 1970 he was relieved of his position as editor-in-chief. And then I gave the story to be published in the magazine “Our Contemporary”. To be honest, I did not expect such a resounding success. Millions of people understood and accepted him. "Bim" is written in a completely different tone and manner than all my previous books. Every idea does not come suddenly, sometimes it is the result of a whole life, the result of reflection... I wanted the reader, after spending some time with my Bim, to look inside himself and become kinder and purer. This story required six years of work. At first I conceived the “Ideal Man” - a hero who is absolutely sincere and pure. He had to go through life, meet different types and characters. But nothing came of this; it turned out to be a far-fetched figure, some kind of angel in the flesh. Then the idea came - to tie a plot around Bim's story. And the story lined up.”
The story has been translated into dozens of languages ​​around the world. In 1975, she was awarded the State Prize of the USSR, the Italian prizes: Monza, awarded to the best books for blind children, and Boncarellino, awarded a diploma and a gold medal from the Florentine Leonardo da Vinci Foundation.
A film was made based on the story (1977, directed by S. Rostotsky). The film was awarded the Lenin Prize, the Main Prize at the Karlovy Vary Festival and was nominated for an Oscar (1978). During its first release, the film was watched by more than 20 million viewers. The main roles were actors: Vyacheslav Tikhonov, Valentina Vladimirova, Mikhail Dadyko, Ivan Ryzhov, Irina Shevchuk, Mikhail Zimin, Gennady Kochkozharov, Rimma Manukovskaya. Rostotsky's film continues to be in constant demand in video libraries; it is often shown in literature classes.
The Radio Foundation of Russia has a documentary recording of the writer’s speech about his work on the story.

short biography

Gabriel Nikolaevich Troepolsky born on November 16 (29), 1905 in the village of Novospasovka, Tambov province, in the family of priest Nikolai Semenovich Troepolsky. Gabriel was named after his maternal grandfather Elena Gavrilovna. In addition to him, there were 5 more children in the family; the writer carried his love for large families throughout his life: he got married, became a father, and later became a grandfather twice. Gabriel received an excellent education for the countryside and, above all, a thorough education at home. Due to the circumstances of the time, G. Troepolsky had to study in four secondary educational institutions, including at the second-level school in the village of Novogolskoye, Novokhopyorsky district, Voronezh province, with the famous teacher Grigory Romanovich Shirma. G. N. Troepolsky later recalled: “I would hardly have become a writer if I had not met Grigory Romanovich in my life. He taught us to think about what we read. Under his leadership, we became thoroughly acquainted with the works of Russian classics. It also helped that the school had an excellent library.” Later he studied at the agricultural school, which he graduated in 1924. He worked as a rural teacher, then from 1931 - as an agronomist.

Since 1938 he began publishing in newspapers and magazines. In 1953, Gabriel Nikolaevich sent a series of satirical stories “From the Notes of an Agronomist” to the capital’s magazine “New World” (later compiled into the collection “Prokhor the Seventeenth and Others.”). Despite the fact that the Voronezh regional party committee recognized the notes as “slanderous” and “spiteful,” A. T. Tvardovsky supported the author. Since then, almost all of Troepolsky’s works of the 1950s and 60s. first saw the light of day on the pages of Novy Mir. Troepolsky was grateful to A. T. Tvardovsky for his active participation in his creative destiny. The writers were united by a true friendship that grew stronger over the years. Troepolsky often went to visit Tvardovsky, discussed his new ideas with him and received additional creative energy from him. After the poet's death, Troepolsky often visited his family. “Notes of an Agronomist” brought the author all-Union fame. Based on them, the film script “Earth and People” was written, based on which director S. Rostotsky made a film of the same name in 1956.

In 1963, the story “In the Reeds” was published, which was positively noted by critics. The writer’s journalistic essays “On Rivers, Soils and Other Things,” which A. Tvardovsky had difficulty pushing into print and published in the magazine “New World” (1965, No. 1), evoked a wide response from the public. To write these essays, Gavriil Nikolaevich traveled all over the Central Black Earth Region in his old “Muscovite” and collected extensive material in defense of the surrounding nature. His speeches in defense of nature in the newspaper Pravda (1966) also became a noticeable phenomenon in public life. In 1976, Troepolsky worked on the editorial board of the magazine “Our Contemporary” and was one of the best authors of essay and journalistic prose.

The writer’s most famous work is the lyrical story “White Bim Black Ear.” It doesn’t often happen that a writer creates his main book in his declining years, after sixty. But creative biography Gabriel Troepolsky’s story turned out exactly like this: his story “White Bim Black Ear” was published in 1971. All previous works, which had nothing to do with children’s literature, were “the works of an honest author, immersed in the problems of the Soviet countryside, not without a sense of humor and not deprived of the reader’s restrained attention.”

But “White Beam...” struck like thunder from a clear sky. There seems to be not a single literary prize left that has not been awarded to this book. The story was noted at home, abroad and was even named one of best books for blind children using Braille. The writer told publicist Anatoly Sviridov about the creation of “White Bim”: “The first reader of the story “White Bim Black Ear” was Alexander Trifonovich Tvardovsky, to whom it was dedicated during his lifetime and with his consent. And it would have been published in his magazine, but in 1970 he was relieved of his position as editor-in-chief. And then I gave the story to the magazine “Our Contemporary” to publish. To be honest, I did not expect such a resounding success... This story required six years of work. At first I conceived an “ideal person” - a hero who is absolutely sincere and pure. He had to go through life, meet different types and characters. But nothing came of this; it turned out to be a far-fetched figure, some kind of angel in the flesh. Then the idea came - to tie a plot around Bim's story. And the story lined up.”

The film of the same name directed by Stanislav Rostotsky (1976) also enjoyed enormous success in the country. During its first release, the film was watched by more than 20 million viewers. The film was awarded the Lenin Prize, the Main Prize at the Karlovy Vary Festival and in 1978 was nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

Gabriel Nikolaevich Troepolsky died in Voronezh on June 30, 1995. He was buried on the Walk of Fame of the Comintern Memorial Cemetery.

What they say about Troepolsky today on the streets of Voronezh

(from materials site materialswww.peoples.ru)

Vladimir Kalitvin, lawyer:

I believe that this is a writer of a high professional level - Leskov, Paustovsky. I was lucky enough to meet Gabriel Nikolaevich personally. And under rather curious circumstances. Once, as a young man, I was driving a car to visit a friend of mine. When I parked, Troepolsky came up to me. He was walking in the children's park with his dog, of course, I recognized him. And he says to me so good-naturedly, they say, why did you, young man, violate the rules so flagrantly twice? traffic. I promised not to allow any more violations. I still keep my word.

Vladimir Mukhin, graduating student:

We studied his works at school. About White Bim is a good book. I also saw the film.

Maria Zhuravleva, accountant:

Troepolsky lived in Voronezh. And he didn’t just write books. It seems he was also a great chess player.

Svetlana Dubova, deputy editor-in-chief of the radio channel:

I would like not to know Troepolsky, not to read his book about Bim and not to see the film. Knowing all this, it is very difficult to live. When I watch children play at the monument to Bim at the Voronezh Puppet Theater, I am overcome by conflicting feelings. Will they read the book about the suffering of this dog, will they understand her fate?

Sergey Popov, member of the Union of Russian Writers:

I had the honor of knowing Gabriel Nikolaevich. And I can say that all of us, the writing community, were looking forward to Troepolsky’s repeatedly promised novel “The Bell.” Unfortunately, neither during the life nor after the death of the writer this work saw the light of day. I cherish the hope that the manuscript will still be made public. I think this will give a second life to Troepolsky the writer.

From the statements of G. N. Troepolsky

Friendship and trust are not bought or sold.

Kindness, boundless trust and affection - feelings are always irresistible, if sycophancy has not rubbed in between them, which can then, gradually, turn everything into false - kindness, trust, and affection. This is a terrible quality - sycophancy.

You need to live in such a way that you are not afraid to sell your parrot to the biggest gossip in town.

You can say stupid things, but not in a solemn tone.

The writer knew perfectly well how the village lived. He had extensive experience working in rural areas. In his works, Troepolsky tried to be extremely sincere. He was not afraid to depict the negative phenomena of reality.

His series of satirical stories “From the Notes of an Agronomist” (1953) marked the beginning of a new approach to depicting life in the countryside. The main features of this approach are the severity of problem posing and truthfulness.

In 1958, Troepolsky’s satirical story “Candidate of Sciences” was published. It was followed by the novel “Chernozem”, which was about a Soviet village in the 20s of the last century.

However, Troepolsky’s story “White Bim the Black Ear,” written in 1971, brought true fame and love from the reader. Five years after the first publication of this book, the author received the USSR State Prize for it. The work raises important moral issues. The story about the tragic fate of the dog is intertwined with descriptions of pictures of nature and life in the city. The story of Bima has become a litmus test on which one can test the sharpness and purity of moral feeling.

Gabriel Nikolaevich's books have been translated into languages Soviet Union and into the languages ​​of many countries around the world.

For his services to creativity, the writer was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor.

In 1931, he was hired to work at the experimental station, and subsequently became the head of the site. Under his leadership, several new varieties of millet are being developed, one of which was even adopted in the Central Black Earth Zone. It was while working at the experimental station that Troepolsky took his first steps in literature under the pseudonym Lirvag.

During World War II, Gavrila Nikolaevich falls under occupation. But he does not sit idly by and actively helps Soviet intelligence. After his release he continues to work in agriculture, but a passion for literature is increasingly evident. In 1953, several stories by Troepolsky were published in the magazine “New World”. They are quite successful, which allowed the author to concentrate entirely on literary creativity.

Since 1967, Troepolsky has become one of the board members of the USSR Writers' Union, which allows him to establish friendly relations with, and many other authors. Perhaps it was this friendship that gave the impetus to move somewhat away from the agricultural topic and write the book “White Bim Black Ear” in 1971.
