Sergey Torbin Biography

Sergei Torbin for his journalists stood Mount Sergey Torbin for his journalists by Mount Sergey Torbin - the editor -in -chief of the Pacific Star - answered not only for himself, but also for his colleagues. He himself did not tolerate newspaper hack and demanded the same from his subordinates, but he knew how to admire the well -made material. And for his journalists stood a mountain.

Alas, fate measured him for 59 years. But a person, as you know, is alive, while he is remembered. Torbin’s materials were favorably different from the creations of many of his colleagues in that in these notes there was already a worldly experience gained at the enterprises of his native Rostov-on-Don in the most proletarian professions-a mill, a loader, a locksmith ... By the way, he hit the Far East, as they said then, according to the Komsomol vatka.

Or maybe he just wanted to grab the romance of romance, and Torbin agreed to the proposal of the director of the Lithuanian forestry, in the Amur district of the Khabarovsk Territory, to test himself in the role of a simple working forestry area with the promising name “decisive”. This fact, apparently, became decisive in the future fate of the guy from the Don. And the first step for Sergei Anatolyevich in the literary field was the district newspaper Amur Zarya.

Journalism veterans said that they recognized the outstanding creative potential of Torbin immediately. It is no coincidence that after a couple of materials, he was offered the position of a literary editorial staff. After several years of work in Amursk, a promising journalist just offered the position of the Sobroda of the Pacific Star. The invitation to the authoritative regional publication has become a kind of recognition of its journalistic gift.

Soon Torbin again went up the service ladder, at first becoming the deputy editor of the newspaper “Young Far East”, and then its editor -in -chief. There was such a case. The end of the seventies. Torbin is the editor of the young Far East. The team, of course, is creative. In the morning glider - continuous delay and the shortage of journalists. The editor arranges the next variety: discipline, first of all, no delay, etc.

Literally the next morning, the mobilized team together gathered at the glider. There is no editor. They wait ten minutes, fifteen, twenty ... Finally, Sergey Anatolyevich appears on the threshold of the office. Editorial reprimands, puppies, unnecessary materials thrown into the basket were forgotten, lost all their accusatory rigidity against the background of its rare charm and knowledge.

It was possible to quarrel with him in the office, and the next day-to bring a rose and drink a little cognac. Not because he is an editor, but because it is Torbin. Agree, this quality is not inherent in every leader. So they went to him with any question: on the newspaper, on topics, in public and personal life. He seemed to feel this life with a gut. They forgave him everything or went aside.

They either worked with him, or stayed away - at a distance, because he could directly say what others were afraid of fearfully. And Sergei Anatolyevich did not know how to wear ceremonial, and indeed ordinary costumes. He himself admitted this and as if childishly tried to understand why he feels easier in a T-shirt and a sweater. I was surprised why the editorial staff did not write as simple and juicy as Babel.

So aptly and short - like a lay. I could not and did not want to understand why the young people read so little. He said: if, standing even on the same street, you carefully look around, you can see at least a dozen topics for newspaper publications ... By the way, despite employment, Torbin wrote a lot. And almost always his publications had a great resonance among readers.

Some headlines just stand: “Moscow. On poverty ”,“ In a dream, Stalin waved my hand ”,“ The distribution of traffic police ”,“ And the horses are jumping and jumping. And theaters are burning and burning ”,“ May there be light! Friday December 26 was, it seemed, the most ordinary day. They rented a number for Saturday, in parallel preparations for the New Year's release were underway.

Sergei Anatolyevich even managed to congratulate the editorial staff on the upcoming New Year, handed gifts and ... died literally at the workplace from a heart attack. His last week, like many previous ones, not only did not fit into the schedule of a person with a sick heart two years before, the torbo had an operation - aorto -hunkering bypass, it did not fit into the standard schedule of the working day in general.

On Monday evening - a concert of Roman Kartsev, where he was going ahead of time and was afraid that there would be no tickets. Because Kartsev is real, without vulgarity, and the note of Torbin appeared in the room of our newspaper for Thursday under the heading “Roman with Kartsev” and even earlier - on Tuesday - his material “Honorary Citizen of Khabarovsk” was released “Platinum werewolf” - about the squall of the “raids” on the Amur artel.

He himself wrote this article, although he could have been contrary to one of the journalists. He did not really like how it turned out, he said that it was possible to write better.But it was a question of a question for him, and he believed that he had to say his word. Torbin demanded responsibility from others, but did not write off her from himself ... By the way, Sergey Torbin was the first editor of the Pacific Star, who was not appointed by the party body.

In August, Sergey Anatolyevich chose the editorial staff. And before this post, he grew up not along the party line, but along the journalistic. Therefore, it was under the torbin in the Pacific Star that the entire newspaper style was restructured - from party, close to stationery, to modern information and journalistic journalism. Many "best feathers" of the Khabarovsk and Russian press consider themselves to be his students today.

Sergei Anatolyevich also passed with the newspaper of its most difficult economic period - when the leading party left, it was necessary to build the economy, subscription, and the seal of the newspaper in many ways. He was an interesting person who lived and worked as the editor -in -chief of “Toz” at the most interesting time - at a fracture of two eras.

And in conclusion of these notes, I want to recall another episode talking about the bold position of Sergei Torbin. When the number was closed and printed in August 22, we still did not know that already on the evening of August 21 in Moscow, the coup would be over. They did not know how and what our civil position would turn into. But it was in this room that the material of Torbin appeared under the heading “August GO.

Let me give myself a few quotes. Here's how the material begins: “I will say a seditious thing: Gorbachev received what he had to get. For all of us, the result of the six -year sitting Mikhail Sergeyevich “on two chairs”, this is the result of a conflicting policy of concessions and sharahahi from the Democrats to the conservatives and vice versa. ” But how this publication ends: “Do not bring us, Lord, this author had such friends in mind the organizers of the State Emergency Committee.

Such a person was Sergey Torbin. By the way, the passenger ship "Meteor" is named after Sergey Torbin.
