Fedor Razzakov. Biography
The future writer was born in Russia, in Moscow. Fedor studied at secondary school at number 325. After graduating from it, Razzakov went to serve in the army, which lasted from 1981 to 1983. After serving, Fedor decides to graduate. To do this, he enters the Moscow Regional Pedagogical Institute (MOPI) named after Nadezhda Konstantinovna Krupskaya. Razzakov was enrolled in the evening department of the Faculty of History. After graduating, the writer is trying to find a job. In 1922, Fedor went into the security business (he guarded a popular newspaper called Kommersant).
Creation
In 1994, Razzakov Fedor, borrowing money from his friend, a businessman, publishes the first book, entitled "The Life and Death of Vladimir Vysotsky." It is then that the author understands that writing is his vocation. Therefore, Razzakov leaves his job and settles in the newspaper "I am a bodyguard." There he received the position of a criminal journalist. The robot was not dusty. In addition, Razzakov Fedor had access to various information sources. Therefore, this work has become a great help in his work.
Thus, in a relatively short period of time, the writer publishes a four-volume edition that includes books such as The Bandits of the Era of Capitalism, The Bandits of the Era of Socialism, The Age of Terror, and The Bandits of the West. The works were very successful. According to a 1997 survey conducted by the Book Review newspaper, the first two volumes became real bestsellers.
During 1998-1999, the writer Fedor Razzakov published his new multi-volume, consisting of eight books. In it, he acquaints readers with biographies of Soviet authors, athletes, actors, television presenters and other famous personalities. The work was called "Dossier on the Stars." But even having finished his multivolume, Razzakov does not slow down. Already in 2004, a whole folio consisting of two volumes was published. The work was called "Life of wonderful times." In it, the author tried to write a chronology of events of an entire era of the 70s of the XX century.
Further activities
Since 2000, Fedor Razzakov, whose photo can be seen above, has been actively collaborating with television. His work as a TV presenter began with short documentary films about banditry, which were based on his book "Bandits of the Socialist Era." Since 2006, the writer has been collaborating with a rather popular newspaper called "Soviet Russia" (there he was awarded the prestigious "Word to the People" prize). The first article was dedicated to the memory of the legendary singer Dean Reed. Readers liked the writing style of Fedor Razzakov. It is for this reason that the publishers gave him the green light. During his work in the newspaper, Razzakov wrote biographies of many figures of Russian art (Alla Pugacheva, Vladimir Vysotsky, Andrei Mironov, Leonid Filatov , etc.).
Nevertheless, scandalously critical articles about various artists in Russia and the Soviet Union brought him the most fame (most of these articles were included in a book entitled "Why Soviet Stars Don't Go Out?"). It is interesting that in his articles, Razzakov cultivated a pro-Soviet position. For example, in the article “Makar and his calves, or Non-Anniversary Makarevich,” the writer condemns Andrei Makarevich for not leading his followers (“calves”) to state ideals. Razzakov reproaches the famous bard for the fact that his family belonged to the Soviet elite and had a lot of privileges inaccessible to ordinary people. In his articles, the author often criticizes celebrities. Thus, Razzakov Fedor draws attention to his person and is good at PR due to the blackening of the stars.
Criticism
Colleagues are rather skeptical about Razzakov’s work. Critics claim that this writer is a simple "yellow" journalist. The reason for this was that Razzakov is very biased towards the personalities he writes about. In addition, Fedor focuses on the sensational presentation of the material and generously season his articles with "fried" facts.
The writer’s scientific and historical works were ruthlessly criticized. Many literary scholars have noticed that in his historical studies, Razzakov often resorts to conspiracy theories. The clearest example of this is the article on the so-called “Uzbek case”.
Scandals
The writer Fedor Razzakov is known for the most part due to scandals. Thus, the writer is trying to attract as many people as possible to his person. An excellent example of this can be the case that took place in 2013 and caused a rather great resonance in the media. Nikita Vysotsky filed an application for Razzakov. The reason for this was the book "Vladimir Vysotsky - KGB Super Agent". The son of a famous bard filed a lawsuit against the writer because he denigrates the father’s honest name. The case was won, and the book was banned from selling.
