Sunny blow biography

Bunin’s sunny blow we are in Dusseldorf, in a poetic tournament, where poets from around the world gathered. The organizers of the competition Rafael Aizenstadt and his wife, friend and assistant Galina Pedakhovskaya. Small assembly hall. Since we came early, there were still few people. I chose a place near a young cute woman. Then he realized that she had sat down correctly, not without intuition.

Nearby was Ulyana Sheremetyeva, the author of wonderful verses, one of the winner of the competition. With her, I wanted to share the joy of the lines she liked, although it was clear that she was worried before the upcoming performance. When during a musical pause the musician performed classic passages on the piano, Ulyana painted his portrait with several strokes, and I felt the uniqueness of the moment, the world of subtle sensations: communication.

Through the stroke, through the gesture on the table, books, magazines are laid out. I drew attention to the magazine "Oasis" and the collection of stories "Evening in Amsterdam", where, in addition to Amsterdam, looking, I saw the details of the Odessa life, the author Galina Pedakhovskaya. The book is slightly thicker than a brochure. I’m not bargaining, but then she said directly: “I won’t take it for five, but I will take it for three.” A middle -aged man agreed.

The book was lying and waiting in the wings. And with the advent of the interlocutor, Odessa, she took up reading. The author turned out to be a smart and insightful person, whose course was interesting to follow.

And she especially highlighted the plot regarding the fate of the great Russian writer Ivan Bunin, or rather the story of his first wife, with whom Galina Pedakhovskaya was familiar. He needed another wife, ready to devote himself entirely to him, the exam of creativity. In the end, he met that way. And I was very young and wanted to live Anna's father, journalist Nikolai Tsacni, Greek, was fond of the ideas of social democracy in his youth, lived in Paris.

Mother, Jewish, died early from tuberculosis. Anna Nikolaevna’s childhood passed in Paris. When she was about seven or eight years old, her father married a second time, Greek. They had a son Julius, who later became a lawyer .. Nikolai Tsacni quietly moved away from playing the revolution, returned to Odessa. He was soared by the solid literary almanac "South Review", and the estate with the vineyards, which brought considerable income.

In the year, Nikolai Tsacni in connection with the upcoming publication in the Almanac, invites Odessa Ivan Bunin, whose poems have already gained fame. And here, in Odessa, love fell on Bunin, as he called much later, "a sunny blow." He was fascinated by the lovely, direct, alive Anna Nikolaevna. She wanted to write, draw, sing, teach children, to go to the world of Bunin was ten years older than Anna.

At first they settled in the noisy house of Nikolai Tsacnie, then there was winter in Paris, later in St. Petersburg and Moscow. We were familiar with Korolenko, Chekhov. They often visited Maxim Gorky. He in frivolity, inability to share his ideals and interests, inability to establish life. The gap occurred when she was pregnant. The son of Nikolai was born.

At the age of five, he died of heart disease. Having passed through depression, longing, Anna Nikolaevna marries a second time. And again, the companion of her life is an extraordinary person - Alexander Mikhailovich Deribas. This surname stands in Odessa among names such as Duke de Richelieu, Langeron, Count Vorontsov. Alexander Mikhailovich - great -grandson of Felix Deribas, Italian consul in Odessa at the end of the 18th century.

Felix was the brother of Admiral Joseph de Ribas - I- Buyons, who led the construction of the port and the city of Odessa. Alexander Mikhailovich was the director of the scientific library in Odessa. He wrote the book "Old Odessa", the first edition of which was dedicated to the three hundredth anniversary of the Romanov house and was published in the year. This book was a success, in it was the spirit of the city and the spirit of tolerance and respect for all living and living nearby.

Anna Nikolaevna again lives in an intellectual environment. The Deribas family maintains ties with the scientific world, writers. Literary readings, meetings, and disputes are held in the library. This traditional tradition was preserved after reorganization. Everything collapsed in the year when the son of Deribas was arrested and shot from his first marriage. Alexander Mikhailovich does not withstand this shock and soon dies.

Anna Nikolaevna had only one room left from the two -story director’s apartment, and the others housed various departments of the library. This room was a thread that connected it with a departed life. It remains to thank Galina Pedakhovskaya for her "shadow of time." Site section:.
