Little Edik had a Cheburashka. It's a plush toy. The ears are large, the tail is buttoned. You won’t understand - it’s either a bear, or a hare, or a dog. In a word, a beast unknown to science.
When Edik was a stupid child, he played this Cheburashka. And then he grew up and forgot about his stuffed animal. The man had other things to do. For example, it was urgent to dig a wide and long snow-covered passage into the “enemy’s” camp. Or watch some “non-dangerous” old lady in the yard and scare her with an exploding piston.
Time, of course, was running out. He was also missing for lessons. That's why Edik studied poorly. And so that my parents would not scold me too much, I mastered one important and necessary art. How to cut twos out of a diary. Unnoticeably, with a razor.
No, Edik did not at all intend to remain a poor student all his life. In the depths of his soul he cherished a dream - to become a minister or academician. At worst, a very lucky gold digger!
Since there are no failed academicians, Edik was always planning to “rush” - to start studying well on Monday. But it still didn’t work out to “jump”.
An incident helped out the schoolboy Uspensky. One day the boy, without thinking too well, jumped from the roof. As a result, he ended up in the hospital with a broken leg. There was nothing to do there, so he asked his parents to bring him different books and, to the amazement of those around him, he began to study. Yes, so stubbornly that he was able to subsequently finish school well, enter an aviation institute, and even become an engineer.
Uspensky worked in his specialty for three years. And then suddenly I realized that I was doing something wrong in my life. He turned out to be an active but stupid engineer. Eduard Nikolaevich thought and thought... and became an adult comedian. And then just as quickly he retrained as a children's writer.
Chance helped him this time too.
One summer, Uspensky worked in a pioneer camp. And in order to calm the squad thirsting for impressions, they read various interesting books. Then all the interesting books suddenly ran out, the squad didn’t want to listen to the boring ones, and Uspensky had no choice but to start inventing himself: “In one city there lived a crocodile named Gena, and he worked as a crocodile at the zoo.”. This phrase was spinning in his head.
And suddenly…
And suddenly two people appeared from around the corner long nose- the tame rat Lariska and the hooligan old woman Shapoklyak. The door slammed telephone booth, and an incomprehensible plush animal got out of there. “This is Cheburashka!” - Uspensky guessed. And he began to tell his famous tale.
The story about Cheburashka and the crocodile Gena really appealed to the little listeners. But for some reason the adult bosses didn’t like me at all. “Cheburashka has no homeland!”- they exclaimed. “And it’s generally unknown what kind of fruit this is (that is, excuse me, beast)!”
Despite everything, the book was still published. And then another, no less famous composition appeared - “Uncle Fyodor, the Dog and the Cat.”
But numerous readers rejoiced early. Because adult uncles and aunts once decided not to publish Eduard Uspensky’s books at all (there wasn’t enough paper for everyone?). But for some reason they allowed several cartoons to be made based on them (they themselves probably watched the cartoons with their grandchildren in the evenings).
But Uspensky continued to compose anyway. Not only poems and fairy tales, but also plays and film scripts; broadcast on radio and television. Of course, “Baby Monitor” and “ABVGDeyka” are now remembered only by fathers and mothers or even grandparents, but the program “Ships Came into Our Harbor,” which Eduard Nikolaevich invented and has been running for twenty years, great amount quite young fans.
But what about TV and radio broadcasts! One day, Uspensky came up with a whole book publishing house - it’s called “Samovar”. Eduard Nikolaevich generally has a lot of all sorts of ideas. For example, now he dreams of his own animation studio and a real Disneyland in the city of Anapa. There will definitely be a jungle with Gena the crocodile, the Blue Carriage slide and much, much more, and it will be called Uspensky Park.
What about books? With them the writer full order. Eduard Nikolaevich writes and publishes them with enviable consistency. So the company of his literary heroes is growing all the time. Recently a girl appeared there with strange name Maksha and the gutta-percha boy Geveychik.
How good father, Eduard Uspensky looks after his extensive family and always knows exactly what is happening to whom and who is traveling where. For example, “The Finns adore Uncle Fyodor, in America the favorite is the old woman Shapoklyak. Everyone there is in love with her. Well, the Japanese are simply obsessed with Cheburashka...” Who will be the next hero? Only the writer himself can answer this question. But he doesn't really like answering such questions. He doesn't like any interviews at all.
What he really loves is, having moved away from the city, lock himself in his house so that no one will disturb him, and write, write, write...

His children's poems began to be published as humorous ones in the Literaturnaya Gazeta; they were heard in the radio program Good Morning!

He became widely known as the author of children's books: “Gena the Crocodile and His Friends” (1966), “Down the Magic River” (1972), etc. His plays, written together with R. Kachanov, “Cheburashka and His Friends,” became extremely popular. "(1970); "Bahram's Legacy" (1973); “The Vacation of the Crocodile Gena” (1974), etc. The images of Cheburashka, the crocodile Gena and other heroes invented by him are loved by children of several generations. In 1976, a collection of poems “Everything is Alright” was published. In 1980 - 90 he published a series of wonderful children’s books: “Vacation in Prostokvashino”, “Uncle Fyodor, the dog and the cat”, “Kolobok is on the trail”, “A colorful family”, “Red Hand, Black Sheet, Green Fingers (scary stories for fearless children)”, “Lectures by Professor Chainikov (an entertaining textbook in radio engineering)” was published in 1994.

No less success befell the adventures of friends from Prostokvashino - Uncle Fyodor, Sharik, and the cat Matroskin. And they also found their on-screen embodiment. In addition, Eduard Uspensky wrote for the popular children's program “Baby Monitor”, for the television program “ABVGDeyka”, and now hosts the program “Ships Came into Our Harbor”.

Recently, Eduard Uspensky announced that he had completed many years of work on the cycle historical novels, telling about the period of False Dmitry and the Time of Troubles.

Eduard Nikolaevich Uspensky was born in the Moscow region on December 22, 1937. The boy's father was a party worker, and his mother was an engineer in the mechanical engineering department. After school, he applied to the capital's aviation institute to become an engineer, from which he successfully graduated in 1961.

The writer’s first literary works were published during his student years. These works were created together with A. Arkanov and were humorous in nature. But many of them were never “censored” by the publishers of that time due to their inconsistency with communist ideals.

So two more girls appeared in the Uspensky family - Ira and Sveta. The beginning of the relationship with Eleanor Filina was overshadowed by a trial with Edward's second wife, who accused him of non-payment of alimony.

He worked in the apparatus of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks, but died too early: at the time of his death he was 44 years old. Mother of Eduard Uspensky - Natalya Alekseevna Uspenskaya- worked as a mechanical engineer. Eduard Nikolaevich had two brothers - Igor and Yuri.

Eduard Uspensky graduated from the Moscow Aviation Institute (MAI) and became an engineer, but he made his living by writing scripts for cartoons. In addition to children's books, Uspensky was engaged in composing poetry and writing theatrical sketches, which were published as part of the series “ Crocodile Gena and his friends».

Uspensky's first book Uncle Fyodor, dog and cat"about a six-year-old boy, whom everyone called Uncle Fyodor because he was too independent, was published in 1974. The plot of the book formed the basis of cartoons that became extremely popular: “ Three from Prostokvashino", "Holidays in Prostokvashino" and "Winter in Prostokvashino".

In 2010, Uspensky was awarded the Korney Chukovsky Prize, established for children's writers, in the main category “For outstanding creative achievements in domestic children's literature.”

Eduard Uspensky was the chairman of the jury of the Russian national award in the field of children's literature “The Cherished Dream”. In 1986, Uspensky was a member of the jury in the first games of the revived KVN Major League.

In 2018, outraged by the release of the sequel to Prostokvashino, Eduard Uspensky wrote a letter to Vladimir Putin. Uspensky, in an open letter to the President of Russia, argued that representatives of Soyuzmultfilm “intended to film stories about the “village of Prostokvashino by Eduard Uspensky” without any consent from this very Eduard Uspensky.
