Nikolai Mikhailovich Rubtsov, a brief biography of which will be given in this article, was a Russian poet poet who worked in the 60-70s of the twentieth century. He was called the hope of Russian poetry.
Childhood and youth
A couple of days after the onset of the new 1936, the future lyric poet Nikolai Rubtsov was born in the cold Northern Territory (now the Arkhangelsk Region). In the village of Emeck began his biography. Rubtsov Nikolai Mikhailovich was the fifth child in the family, the youngest. His father was the head of the timber industry, his mother was a housewife.
When Nikolai was five years old, Mikhail Andrianovich (father) was given a high position in Vologda, where the family moved. Until 1942, the life of the future poet was relatively happy, but then adversity literally fell out of nowhere. A summons came to his father - he was called to the front. After this news, the mother of the family suddenly died. There was no one to leave the children with. Only the elder sister of Nicholas took her aunt to her, the rest were given to the orphanage.
Nikolai ended up in the city of Kraskov, and then in Totma, far from his brothers. The only consolation for the boy was the imminent return of his father from the war. But that did not happen. He escaped the enemy bullet, but forgot about his children. His marriage began with a new biography. Rubtsov Nikolai Mikhailovich found out about this betrayal in the orphanage.
Subsequent years
In 1950, after finishing seven classes, he went to Riga to enter a seafarer. That was his dream. But due to age (14 years) he was not accepted. Returning to Totma, he began to study at the forestry technical school.
After completing his studies, in 1952, he got a job as a minesweeper "Arkhangelsk" and he chopped off there as a fireman for about a year. Then he entered the Kirov Mining College, but was disappointed in his studies and went to travel. Longing for his homeland overtook him in Tashkent. It was there that Nikolai Mikhailovich Rubtsov, whose biography was not easy, decided to meet with his father. It took place in 1955, but did not bring the poet happiness - only disappointment.
From 1956 to 1959 he served in the army in the Navy. After demobilization, he moved to Leningrad, where he worked at the plant for some time. There he graduated from high school. In 1962 he entered the literary institute in Moscow, which he graduated with grief in half in 1969. Now he was listed on the staff of the Vologda Komsomolets newspaper and lived in his own odnushka. And this is after all the wanderings in dormitories and even train stations.
Despite the bright streak in life, in general, the poet had a very tragic biography. Rubtsov Nikolai Mikhailovich was always unhappy: both in love and in creativity (truly poetry was appreciated only after the death of the lyrics). There were a lot of people around him, but no real friends appeared. And the meeting with his last common-law wife became fatal for the poet.
Personal life
Nikolai Mikhailovich Rubtsov, whose biography is not rich in love relationships, met his first girlfriend in the village of Priyutino, near Leningrad. There he came to his elder brother Albert. Taisiya was distinguished by extraordinary beauty and was immensely liked by the poet. However, she did not reciprocate. He looked after her, they often walked together, but no more. After Rubtsov joined the army, Taya married another.
In 1962, at one of the poetry parties, Nikolai met a girl named Henrietta. She became his official wife. A year later, the couple had a daughter, Lena. This marriage also did not become happy for the poet. Alcohol brought him under the monastery. The mother-in-law did not welcome the drunken son-in-law and constantly scolded for parasitism when he came home to Nikolskoye. Soon the family fell apart completely.
In 1969, the poet met Lyudmila Derbina, with whom she begins a new life. Their life together was particularly nervous: they swore and put up. But they were constantly drawn to each other. Together they lived until the death of the poet, a fatal death, the cause of which was Lyudmila.
Creation
Nikolai wrote his first poems in an orphanage. When he served in the army, he worked in a local newspaper and published there. But those experiments were far from the style of the real Rubtsov.
His first collection, published in 1962, was called "Waves and Rocks." It was samizdat. But the second book has already become official. The Lyric was released in 1965.
Then there were the Star of the Fields, Soul Preserves, and Pine Noise in 1967, 1969, and 1970, respectively. After Rubtsov’s death, four more poetry books were published.
His work is filled with love for his native land and land, it is original and sensual, like Nikolai Mikhailovich Rubtsov himself.
The biography and work of the poet served as a guide in the creation of many poetry festivals (Rubtsovskie readings, All-Russian poetry contest).
Death
The poet has always been a mystic to some extent. He believed in all signs, was very superstitious. Therefore, his poem "I will die in Epiphany frosts ..." is considered visionary.
On the night of January 18-19, a brawl occurred in Rubtsov’s apartment, a family quarrel. He was jealous of his common-law spouse to a colleague from the newspaper. Nikolai was pretty drunk and rushed with charges against Lyudmila Derbina. The woman eventually could not stand it and decided to repulse the unlucky roommate. This decision turned out to be fatal. Trying to push him away from herself, she squeezed the poet’s carotid artery with two fingers. Seconds later he passed away. This happened in 1971.
So the life of a talented lyricist was cut short, such is his tragic biography. Rubtsov Nikolay Mikhailovich is buried in Vologda.
