In 70 years - a short period by historical standards - the Vladimir region has given the country and the world so many wonderful personalities that would last for centuries. Who are these celebrities - natives of Vladimir region?

THE BEST CINEMA WORKER

Alexei Batalov has played many star film roles, but the most beloved by the people is the intelligent locksmith Gosha from the Oscar-winning film “Moscow Doesn’t Believe in Tears.” Theater and film actor, director, public figure, People's Artist of the USSR was born on November 20, 1928 into a respected Vladimir family. His grandfather, a descendant of Polish aristocrats, was the chief forest inspector of the province under the tsar, his grandmother was a doctor to whom the whole city wanted to see. Batalov’s mother, theater actress Nina Olshevskaya, came to them to give birth to her son.

Batalov was destined to become a star - eight of his paternal relatives worked at the Moscow Art Theater. In 1954 he began acting in films, working mainly at Lenfilm. The first role was the young worker Alexei Zhurbin in the film “Big Family”. The most famous works are the role of Boris Borozdin in the film “The Cranes Are Flying”, physicist Dmitry Gusev in the film “Nine Days of One Year”, Gurov in “The Lady with a Dog”, Fedya Protasov in “The Living Corpse”, and she played the role of Georgy Ivanovich in the melodrama "Moscow does not believe in tears".

The busy artist rarely visited his hometown, but he always remembered him - the residents of his house on Bolshaya Moskovskaya Street still remember how he easily stopped by in a white Volga at the very peak of his fame.

WRITER FROM THE LOG HUT

Russian writer and poet Vladimir Soloukhin was born in the village of Alepino into a peasant family. In 1942 he graduated from engineering school with a degree in mechanical instrumentation. During the Great Patriotic War he served in the Kremlin guard. He first published poems in the Vladimir newspaper Prizyv, then in Komsomolskaya Pravda. In 1951 he graduated from the Literary Institute. M. Gorky to take up literature professionally.

For the sake of the book “Vladimir Country Roads” in 1956, Soloukhin covered 635 kilometers from the Kirzhach River to Vyazniki in 41 days (321 on foot, 227 by car, 17 on horseback, 70 by boat). He believed that good books are born in travel, in meetings with living people. The travel diary gradually turned into a lyrical story about non-capital Russia. The writer lived for 10 days in his native Alepino, about whose residents he wrote a separate book, “A Drop of Dew.”

He was advised to go to the village of Glotovo, Yuryev-Polsky district. It turned out that a wonderfully beautiful wooden church, similar to a ship, had been preserved there. The writer puts forward the idea: “We need to create (for example, in Suzdal) a museum of wooden architecture. Bring there the surviving windmills, churches, the most beautiful huts from everywhere!” And the first exhibit of the new Suzdal museum of wooden architecture was just that little church from Glotov. He died. a metropolitan celebrity, and was buried in his native Alepino.

HEIRS OF ANDREY RUBLEV

In 1960 in Moscow, at the first republican exhibition “Soviet Russia”, the founders of the “Vladimir School of Painting” - Kim Britov, Vladimir Yukin and Valery Kokurin - announced themselves for the first time together. Boris Frantsuzov, a native of Kameshkovo, raised the national theme just as powerfully. He is a graphic artist, his genre is etching (a type of engraving, the imprint of which is made from a design carved with jewelry on a metal plate).

In search of a special Vladimir style of painting, patriotic artists relied on the deep traditions of the art of their land. The source of their inspiration was an icon, a Mstera lacquer miniature, a homespun rug, a patchwork blanket, and Vladimir embroidery. The result was a fusion of folk culture, coming from the depths of centuries, and the peaks of the Russian landscape.

The subjects of the works of all four were Vladimir villages, regional towns, bazaars, ancient streets, discreet fields and copses - everything that quiet provincial life is full of, which has retained its bright originality and beauty. Today their works are kept in the Tretyakov Gallery and the Russian Museum, as well as in a number of other domestic and foreign museums and private collections.

GREAT MUSIC TEACHER

People's Artist of Russia Eduard Markin was born in Voronezh, studied in Odessa and Novosibirsk, and became attached to Vladimir. The world-famous choral maestro not long ago even refused to take up the post of rector of one of the Conservatories, so as not to abandon his students-choristers, who today number many hundreds.

Markin’s recognized achievement is the creation of the Choral Music Theater, and then the Center for Choral Music of Vladimir-Suzdal Rus' (1992). Now, under the wing of the professor at Vladimir University, there are several choral groups at once - from boys’ choirs and children’s choirs to mature performers. All of them successfully tour throughout Russia and abroad.

FROM “NIGHTINGALE” TO “ZARECHNAYA STREET”

Dozens of favorite songs, which many today consider anonymous folk songs, were written by Vyaznikovite Alexey Fatyanov. As a child, he took a lot from the breathtaking beauty of these places, so you don’t have to look for long for the main sources of Fatyanov’s song and poetic gift - they are in the Vladimir region: “There is a special tenderness / For places dear to us since childhood, / I am for this snowy city / Heart , soul - I’ll give everything!” During the war, he wrote love and humorous songs (he had the right - he fought in a penal battalion, was wounded twice), he knew from himself that soldiers especially needed them: “A soldier dreams of brown eyes...”, “I’ll come back to throw a branch of lilac into your hands - love”, “The blood rushes to the temples - how beautiful she is”, “No one else in the world will replace you forever.”

One hit followed another: “We haven’t been home for a long time”, “Where are you, my garden?”, “Because we are pilots”, “Golden lights”, “Where are you now, fellow soldiers?”, “Sings” accordion over Vologda”, “On your porch”. And also - “I won’t brag, my dear,” “My Chamomile,” “The Road, the Road...”, “Evening at the Roadstead” and “Nightingales” - the favorite song of Marshal Georgy Zhukov. The film “Spring on Zarechnaya Street” with Fatyanov’s song is one of the box office records in the USSR. “On a sunny clearing” - the annual festival in Vyazniki is named after this song, to which all the stars of the country consider it an honor to come.

Andrey Bogolyubsky

Grand Duke of Vladimir Andrei Bogolyubsky (about 1111-1174) was the son of Yuri Vladimirovich Dolgoruky and the Polovtsian princess, daughter of Khan Aepa Asenevich. Contrary to the will of his father, he left Vyshgorod in 1155 and settled in Vladimir.

From the Vyshgorod convent he took with him an icon of the Mother of God, which later began to be revered as the greatest Russian shrine. On the way to Rostov at night, the Mother of God appeared to the prince in a dream and ordered him to leave the icon in Vladimir. Andrei did so, and on the site of the vision he built the village of Bogolyubovo, which over time became his favorite residence.

After the death of his father (1157) he became Prince of Vladimir, Rostov and Suzdal. Vladimir made the previously insignificant young town the capital city of the Rostov-Suzdal principality.

In 1169, he organized a campaign against the Grand Duke of Kyiv Mstislav II Izyaslavich, creating a coalition of 11 princes, whose troops captured and plundered Kyiv, which became the first case in the practice of civil strife between Russian princes. After a three-day siege, the army broke into Kyiv and for the first time in history took it “on the shield.” Andrei achieved his goal - ancient Kyiv lost its centuries-old seniority.

Mikhail Speransky

A statesman, closest advisor to Alexander I, author of a plan for liberal reforms, initiator of the creation of the State Council, Mikhail Mikhailovich Speransky (1772-1839) showed great promise at a young age, therefore he was enrolled in the Vladimir Diocesan Seminary under the surname Speransky (from the Latin verb spero, sperare - hope, hope).

Having entered the service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Speransky proposed his famous “Plan of State Reforms” and in 1808 was appointed Minister of Justice. However, on the eve of the war with Napoleon, which Speransky resolutely opposed, Alexander I dismissed him from all posts and exiled him to Nizhny Novgorod, and then to Perm.

Later, Speransky turned to Alexander I with a request for pardon and in 1816 he was appointed governor of Penza, and in 1819 - governor-general of Siberia. From that time on, Speransky decisively abandoned his previous liberal views and became an adherent of unlimited autocracy. In 1839 he was elevated to the dignity of count.

Mikhail Lazarev

The famous Russian naval commander and navigator, member of the Geographical Society, Admiral Mikhail Petrovich Lazarev (1788-1851) was born in Vladimir. Since childhood, he dreamed of becoming a sailor, so his parents assigned him to the Naval Corps.

Among the thirty best midshipmen, Lazarev was sent on a voyage, where he established himself as “a young man of keen intelligence and well-behaved behavior.”

He took part in the Patriotic War of 1812, and then went on a round-the-world expedition to the Southern Arctic Ocean. On January 9, 1821, sailors discovered the island of Peter I, and a week later they approached the mountainous coast, called the coast of Alexander I. Thus, Russian sailors were the first in the world to discover Antarctica.

In 1827, the Azov commander Lazarev was appointed chief of staff of the squadron. On October 20, 1827, the famous Battle of Navarino took place, in which the Russian, English and French squadrons took part. The Russians bore the brunt of the battle and played a major role in the defeat of the Turkish-Egyptian fleet. For 18 years, Mikhail Petrovich was the commander of the Black Sea Fleet, which under his leadership became the best in Russia.

Rubinstein and composition by P. I. Tchaikovsky. Taneyev was a favorite student and close friend of Pyotr Ilyich, often a performer of his works, as well as their editor and arranger.

In 1885-1888, at the request of Tchaikovsky, Taneyev headed the conservatory. Among Taneyev's students are composers S. V. Rachmaninov, A. N. Scriabin, N. K. Medtner, S. M. Lyapunov, R. M. Gliere, A. T. Grechaninov and many others. Taneyev's compositional heritage is large in scale and diverse in genres; it includes opera, symphony, and original vocal lyrics. After the death of N. G. Rubinstein and P. I. Tchaikovsky, Taneyev turned out to be a central figure in musical life - as a teacher, pianist (soloist and excellent ensemble player), conductor, scientist, musician of enormous outlook, impeccable taste and a man of the highest moral purity.

Vladimir Zvorykin

The great scientist, one of the inventors of modern television, a native of Murom, Vladimir Kozmich Zvorykin (1888-1982), was always distinguished by his amazing mental alertness. Zworykin's research activities began at the St. Petersburg Institute of Technology, in the laboratory of Professor B. Rosing, who at that time was working on the problems of television systems. After graduating with honors from the institute in 1912, Zvorykin went to Paris, where he studied X-rays under the guidance of P. Langevin. In 1918, Vladimir Kozmich went abroad.

In 1931, he created an outstanding invention - the first iconoscope - a transmission tube that made the development of television systems possible.

It is impossible to list all areas of Zvorykin’s creative activity. Back in 1920, he received a Ph.D. from the University of Pittsburgh and then a Ph.D. from the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute, and finally became a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and many other academies and scientific societies. Zvorykin had more than a hundred patents and more than thirty scientific awards.

Karl Thurmer

When a boy was born into a poor Thürmer family in Germany in 1824, hardly anyone could have imagined that two centuries later his name would be remembered and his deeds honored in a completely different country - Russia, which became his second homeland.

The outstanding forestry scientist Karl Franzevich Thürmer (1824-1900) received recognition in the scientific world during his lifetime. In Sudogodsky district, he created an exemplary forestry industry, for which he was awarded an Imperial Certificate of Honor.

Since 1853, Thürmer forever linked his fate with Russia. He began his career in Porechye, at the forest dacha of Count Uvarov in the Moscow region. The owner of local forests, Khrapovitsky, understood that intensive logging, which brings in a lot of income, requires appropriate follow-up measures for reforestation. And then fate gave the count a meeting with Thürmer, who was already famous as a great specialist in artificial forest cultivation. Khrapovitsky invited Thürmer to his place, and his proposal was accepted. The crown of Thürmer's many years of work was the large-scale collection of forest crops he created, which became living evidence of his professional feat for several generations.

Yuri Levitan

Yuri Borisovich Levitan (1914-1983) dreamed of becoming an artist since childhood. He loved poetry, theater, singing, and because of his loud voice he received the nickname “Trumpet”. However, having arrived in Moscow after the 9th grade, he failed the exam at the State Film College (now VGIK). The admissions committee did not like his “curious” Vladimir dialect. But in the same year, Yuri Levitan was accepted into the group of trainees of the All-Union Radio Committee. One day, after several months of internship, Yuri was assigned to read an article from Pravda on the radio. It had to happen that at that moment Stalin was at the receiver.

Hearing Levitan, he immediately dialed the telephone number of the chairman of the USSR Radio Committee and said that the text of his report tomorrow at the 17th Party Congress opening in the morning should be read by the announcer who had just broadcast articles from Pravda. At 12 noon, a sealed package with Stalin’s speech was brought to the studio. Levitan, white with excitement, read the sacred text for five hours without making a single mistake. The next day, the nineteen-year-old boy became the main announcer of the Soviet Union.

In June 1941, it was Levitan who read the message about the beginning of the war and then, throughout all four years, informed the country about the situation at the fronts. Marshal Rokossovsky once said that Levitan’s voice was equivalent to an entire division. And Hitler considered him enemy number one of the Reich (Commander-in-Chief Stalin was listed as number two). 250 thousand marks were promised for Levitan’s head, and a special group was preparing to be sent to Moscow to eliminate the speaker. Levitan was the first among the announcers to be awarded the title of People's Artist of the USSR.
