Bianki Vitaly Valentinovich (01/30/1894 - 06/10/1959) - Russian and Soviet writer, whose works are overwhelmingly intended for children. With the help of interesting stories, stories and fairy tales, he described wildlife. The author has written more than 120 books, which include about 300 different works.

"The writer is a child of the people, he grows from the depths of the people's worldview"

Noble childhood

Vitaly Bianchi was born in St. Petersburg on January 30, 1984. His father - Valentin Lvovich - was a famous ornithologist (an expert on birds), he even was a member of the Academy of Sciences and worked at the Zoological Museum. It is not surprising that from an early age, the son became interested in nature - he listened to his father's stories at home, came to his work, made various notes about the world around him. Later, Vitaly will call his dad - "the first forest teacher."

By the way, the Bianchi family goes back to the beginning of the 19th century. Moreover, one half of the writer's ancestors were Swiss, and the other Germans. And their last name was Weiss, which translates as "white." But the name Bianchi appeared under Vitaly's great-grandfather. He was a famous opera singer. And one day he was offered to go on tour in Italy. But there was one condition - to take a pseudonym, so that they would be better received. And the great-grandfather, without hesitation, called himself Bianchi, which also means "white", but only in Italian. And then he liked it, and he officially changed his last name.

Vitaliy Bianchi, as a child, did not really think about composing and writing stories. He was much more attracted to sports and the exact sciences. So, he played football at a professional level, played in several teams in St. Petersburg and even won the City Cup. And after school he entered the Petrograd University at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics.

Soviet maturity

Vitaly Bianchi did not have to work in his specialty. In 1916 he was drafted into the army. And a year later there was a revolution. And the future writer, like many young people of that time, was fascinated by Bolshevik romance. He quickly changed his views and joined the Soviet of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies. And since he was an educated person, he was even included in a special commission that was involved in the protection of cultural monuments in Tsarskoe Selo. And then he was transferred to Samara, where he began to write a campaign column in the local newspaper "People".

During the Civil War, Vitaly Bianchi had to move from city to city so as not to fall into the hands of the White Guards. Once he nevertheless encountered Kolchak's army and was even forcibly mobilized into it. But at the first opportunity, he deserted, changing his surname to Belyanin. From that time until the end of his life, he will bear a double surname - Bianki-Belyanin.

When Soviet power was finally established in the country, Vitaly Valentinovich began working in the department of public education in the city of Biysk. He oversaw the work of museums. And in parallel, he was invited to lecture on ornithology at a local university.

By the way, despite the absolute devotion to the Soviet regime, Vitaly Bianka very often fell into the "pencil" of the Chekists. They could not forgive him for his noble origin. It got to the point that he spent several weeks in prison. And only the help of influential friends, among whom was Maxim Gorky, helped him avoid long-term imprisonment, and even exile in camps.

Literary activity

In fact, Vitaly Bianchi began to write quite early - right after the army. But it was creativity "for himself", he did not show his stories to anyone. He has accumulated quite a lot of similar texts over the years. And Vitaly Valentinovich himself called them "dead weight".

“It was like a Zoological Museum, where numerous inanimate creatures are collected - the animals are frozen, and the birds do not sing and do not fly. And I really wanted, as in childhood, to use a magic spell to revive it all.

The crowning achievement of Vitaly Bianchi's creative career was the book Forest Newspaper, published in 1928. In terms of the form of content, it had no analogues in the world at that time. And the idea was to create a kind of calendar in which each month was dedicated to the life of the inhabitants of the forest. Moreover, it was presented in different genres - there were stories, and chronicles, and telegrams, and feuilleton, and even simple announcements. This book was reprinted at different times, the pages were filled with pictures, the covers changed, but one thing remained forever - the unique author's style and the insane interest of readers, especially the smallest ones.

With the help of the works of Vitaliy Bianchi, children, both before and now, can easily get to know the surrounding nature, learn more about the living creatures that inhabit the earth. And most importantly, to do this with the help of the language and images available to them. In total, about 120 books came out from Bianchi's pen, with a circulation of tens of millions. And if you dig well, almost every house can find at least one book by this author - perhaps left over from parents and grandparents, since in Soviet times the works of Vitaly Bianchi were included in the compulsory curriculum of schools and kindergartens.

Vitaly Bianchi was born on February 11, 1894 in St. Petersburg in the family of an ornithologist, curator of the zoological museum of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, Russified Italian Valentin Lvovich Bianchi. One of his family branches had Swiss roots, the other - German. The great-grandfather of Vitaly Bianchi was a famous opera singer who, before a tour of Italy, at the insistent requests of the impresario, changed the common German surname Weiss to Bianchi.

The apartment of the future writer was opposite the museum, and little Vitaly Bianchi and his two brothers often visited it, and in the apartment of the curator of the imperial museum there was a small zoo with cats, dogs, hedgehogs and other animals.

In the summer, the family left for the village of Lebyazhye. Here Vitaly Bianchi, when he was not even five years old, first immersed himself in communication with nature in the forest surroundings of Lebyazhye. He was in love with the forest and its inhabitants. The interests and education of Vitaliy Bianchi were very diverse. He graduated from the gymnasium, then entered the Faculty of Natural Sciences of St. Petersburg University. Later, he studied another course of science - at the Institute of Art History. But the main sphere of his interests was the world of animals, the world of the forest and its inhabitants. Therefore, Vitaly Bianchi considered his father, Valentin Lvovich Bianchi, to be his main teacher all his life. It was he who taught his son to record all observations of the life of animals.

In 1916, Vitaly was drafted into the army and after completing an accelerated course at the Vladimir Military School with the rank of ensign, he was sent to an artillery brigade. In February 1917, he was elected by soldiers to the Soviet of Soldiers' and Workers' Deputies and at the same time joined the Socialist-Revolutionary Party. He worked in the commission for the protection of artistic monuments of Tsarskoye Selo. In the early spring of 1918, part of it was sent to the Volga.

In the summer of 1918, Bianchi worked in Samara in the newspaper "People". Then Bianchi moved to Ufa, Yekaterinburg, again to Ufa, to Tomsk, and in the early 1920s he lived in Altai, worked in the local history museum and as a biology teacher in one of the Biysk schools. Bianchi wrote down his impressions and observations of the life of the abodes of the taiga, where he spent a lot of time. He wrote everything down even when these notes seemed absolutely useless and lay dead weight in a desk drawer. However, a few years later they were destined to transform into fascinating stories and fairy tales about the natural world and its inhabitants.

Bianchi was mobilized into the Kolchak army, but soon deserted from there and was forced to live under a false name. According to the documents, he was listed as Vitaly Belyanin, a student at Petrograd University and an ornithologist-collector at the Zoological Museum of the Russian Academy of Sciences. He hid his real name until the expulsion of Kolchak. The double surname Bianki-Belyanin remained in his passport until the end of his life.

With the establishment of Soviet power in Biysk, Bianchi worked in the department of public education in the museum part. Then, in addition to this position, he was appointed head of the museum, and later approved as a teacher at the school named after the III Comintern. Actively participated in the work of the Biysk Society of Nature Lovers, lectured on ornithology at the Altai People's University, organized two scientific expeditions to Lake Teletskoye.

In 1921, Vitaly Valentinovich was arrested twice by the Cheka in Biysk, in addition, he served 3 weeks in prison as a hostage.

In September 1922, one of his acquaintances warned Vitaly Bianchi about the threat of a new arrest, and he quickly packed his things, arranged a business trip to his homeland and went with his family to Petrograd. In Petrograd, he met Samuil Marshak, who brought Bianchi to a literary circle at one of the city libraries. Other writers also gathered there, including Chukovsky and Zhitkov. Vitaly Bianchi's stories about the life of animals were liked by the participants of the circle, and very soon the first story of Vitaly Bianchi's "Journey of the Red-Headed Sparrow" was published in the literary magazine for children from Sparrow. And the next year, in 1923, his first book about the life of animals, “Whose nose is better,” was published.

The writers L.N. Tolstoy, I.S. Turgenev, S.T. Aksakov, D.N. Mamin - Sibiryak, and the American writer E. Seton-Thompson had a great influence on his work. The most famous book by Vitaly Bianchi was "The Forest Newspaper". It still remains unsurpassed both in originality of form and richness of content. Since 1928, Lesnaya Gazeta has been reprinted many times, translated into different languages ​​of the world.

At the end of 1925, Bianchi was arrested and sentenced for participation in a non-existent underground organization to three years of exile in the city of Uralsk. In 1928, thanks to numerous petitions, including Maxim Gorky, who turned to G. Yagoda, Bianchi received permission to move to Novgorod, and later to Leningrad. In November 1932, a new arrest followed, but after three and a half weeks, Bianchi was released "for lack of evidence." In March 1935, Bianchi, as "the son of a personal nobleman, a former Socialist-Revolutionary, an active participant in an armed uprising against the Soviet regime," was arrested again and was subject to exile for five years in the Aktobe region. However, thanks to the intercession of Ekaterina Pavlovna Peshkova, the decision to exile was canceled, and Bianchi was released.

During the Great Patriotic War, the writer was evacuated to the Urals. After the end of hostilities, he returned to his native city, but usually most of the time, from early spring to late autumn, he lived in the country, where he often hosted young nature lovers. Once Nikolai Sladkov was among his guests, including under the influence of Vitaly Bianchi, who became one of the best Russian naturalist writers of the twentieth century.

Despite all the hardships of life at that time, the writer received a powerful creative charge from everyday communication with nature. Directly during these years, he wrote about half a dozen stories, among them were "The Order in the Snow" and "Black Grouse in the Holes" in 1942, "Mouse" in 1943 and many other works.

In the works of Vitaly Valentinovich, a folklore tradition is noticeable, his work is very characteristic of a return to the works written in the past and already published. Old texts were often supplemented with new lines. For example, throughout his life, Vitaliy Bianchi repeatedly supplemented the reprints of the Forest Newspaper, as well as the collection Forest were and Fables, which have long become a real classic and a model of scientific and fiction literature for children.

In the last years of his life, Vitaly Bianchi was ill a lot - he was completely paralyzed in his legs and partially in his arms. But, as before, he had meetings of the editorial board of "News from the Forest". He repeatedly and actively participated in writing scripts for feature films, cartoons, filmstrips about nature and animals. Bianchi's plans included the creation of the Scarlet Sails Club, dedicated to the memory of his favorite writer Alexander Grin.

He wrote such well-known works as "The First Hunt", "How the Ant Hurried Home", "Trapper's Tales", "Who Sings with What" and many others. Separately, it is impossible not to mention such wonderful works as "Mouse Peak" and "Titmouse Calendar".

During his life, Bianchi wrote more than three hundred stories, fairy tales, novellas and articles, which were included in his 120 books, printed with a total circulation of 40 million copies. Bianchi not only constantly worked on new books himself, but also gathered around him wonderful people who loved and knew animals and birds. He called them "translators from the wordless." These were N. Sladkov, S. Sakharnov, E. Shim. Bianchi helped them work on the books. Tale, short stories, fairy tales of Bianchi uniquely combined poetry and exact knowledge. He even called the latter in a special way: "fairy tales-non-tales." There are no magic wands or walking boots, but there are no less miracles.

Shortly before his death, Vitaly Bianchi wrote in the preface to one of his works: “I have always tried to write my fairy tales and stories in such a way that they are also accessible to adults. And now I realized that all my life I have been writing for adults who have kept a child in their souls.

An ornithologist by recognition, a researcher, a pathfinder and a traveler by way of life, a poet by his attitude, active and hardworking by nature, possessing outstanding literary abilities, a good storyteller and just kind, sociable, having a lot of friends, followers, students, Bianchi became one of the founders of the whole directions in literature for children, devoting his work to the scientific and artistic reflection of the life of the forest and its inhabitants.

His life can hardly be called easy and cloudless - a link, a bad heart, several heart attacks; however, some problems were replaced by others, and he remained an “eccentric”, for whom the sight of a blossoming flower or a bird fluttering from branch to branch compensated for all the failures taken together. The writer managed to convey his amazing worldview in his books, and therefore the works of Vitaly Bianchi became classics, and are recognized as the best natural history textbooks for people of all ages.

Vitaly Valentinovich Bianki died in Leningrad on June 10, 1956 at the age of 62 and was buried in St. Petersburg at the Theological Cemetery.

About Vitaly Bianchi, a documentary film "Editor of the Forest Newspaper" was shot.

All Bianchi's tales are informative, in them we get acquainted with the important laws of the life of nature. Even within the framework of one genre, the writer creates works that are very diverse, from a short fairy tale-dialogue (“The Fox and the Mouse”) to a detailed fairy tale (“Mouse Peak”, “Orange Neck”).
In Bianchi's stories about nature, there is less fiction, play than in fairy tales, and the role of man in them is different - he is a hunter, observer, naturalist. Everything that happens in stories can happen in reality. The environment turns out to be as interesting as in a fairy tale, if only you know how to observe it properly. Reading the stories of the writer, the young reader learns to see, to observe. Very carefully, Bianchi introduces a description of nature into his stories, because. this does not appeal to all children.
For young readers, Bianchi wrote short anecdotal stories, all of which are based on some curious or instructive adventure (“Musician”, “music box”).
Along with individual fairy tales, the writer also creates cycles of stories. In the cycle "My cunning son" a boy hero appears. On walks with his father, he comprehends the secrets of the forest. He manages to peep how a frightened fox to death starts running away from a desperate squirrel, who jumped almost into her mouth.

Almost all of Bianchi's tales are scientific, they take the reader into the world of wildlife and show this world as the author himself sees it. All fairy tales are informative, in them we get acquainted with the important laws of the life of nature. In each work of the writer, a deep love for nature, for the animal world, for people is felt. His works teach not only to observe nature, but also to enjoy its beauty, to protect it. In Bianchi's tales, the presence of the author is not felt; in them, animals act and reason like people.
Researcher of creativity V. Bianchi Gr. Grodensky rightly writes: “And even though most of the heroes of the works of Vitaly Bianchi are just forest animals and birds, they awaken great human feelings in a child: courage, stamina, kindness to the weak, striving to achieve a goal. Here the justice of the triumph of reason and the victory of good over evil are affirmed; humanism and patriotism are instilled. A poetic vision of the world is revealed.
Books by V. Bianchi teach children the scientific vision of nature. His works help the teacher in an entertaining way to reveal to the children the complex phenomena of nature, to show the patterns that exist in the natural world. Thus, the fairy tale “The First Hunt” by V. Bianchi introduces young children to such a complex phenomenon in nature as mimicry, shows various forms of animal protection: some deftly deceive, others hide, others scare, etc. The tales of V. Bianchi “Whose are these legs?”, “Who sings with what?”, “Whose nose is better?”, “Tails”. They allow revealing the conditionality of the structure of one or another organ of an animal by its habitat, living conditions. The teacher also uses the works of V. Bianchi to show the child that the natural world is in constant change and development. From the works of V. Bianchi "Forest Newspaper", "Our Birds", "Sinichkin Calendar" children learn about seasonal changes in inanimate nature, in the life of plants and various representatives of the animal world.
Books by V. Bianchi - works of natural history; they take us into the world of wildlife full of unique charm. Books are usually based on a specific biological fact, the geographical location of the action is precisely indicated, the calendar season is determined, the biological species accuracy of the beast, bird, insect, plant is preserved, that is, everything that is obligatory in natural history books.
For a conversation with children, V. Bianchi very often resorts to a fairy tale, because it is psychologically closer to the child. He created the genre of scientific fairy tale based on folklore. His fairy tales are emotional, optimistic, imbued with love for native nature (“Forest Houses”, “Adventures of the Ant”, “Mouse Peak”, etc.).
In each work of Bianchi, one feels a deep love for nature, for the animal world, for people who treat animals reasonably and kindly. This is noted in an article by the writer N. Sladkov about Bianchi: “His birds and animals are not symbols, not people dressed as birds and animals: they are real, real, true. And at the same time, they are deeply connected with a person, naturally enter the circle of his interests, excite his curiosity and excite his thoughts.
One of Bianchi's most famous works is his Forest Newspaper. "Lesnaya Gazeta" was originally born as a permanent department of natural history in the journal "Sparrow". In 1926 - 1927, Bianchi worked on the materials of this department for the publication of the book "Forest Newspaper for Every Year", and in 1928 the book was published. This big book is an encyclopedia of Russian nature. Published for the first time in 1928, it still remains one of the most beloved and popular works of Soviet children's literature for children.
The success of this book is largely determined by the author's invention: the material in it is selected and arranged as in a real newspaper, with articles and essays, short notes, telegrams from the field, letters from readers, amusing drawings, riddles at the end of the issue. The basis of the newspaper is a recurring cycle of seasonal changes in nature. Therefore, the names of the months in its twelve numbers are unusual: "Month of Chicks", "Month of Flocks", "Month of Full Storerooms", etc.
"Forest Newspaper" is a book-game. The reader does not remain passive. The author draws him into observations all the time. The book was conceived and implemented as a whole, it contains
This book, like all the works of V. V. Bianchi, contributes to the formation of a materialistic worldview in the young reader. “In all his works, in every page, in every word, there is such a love for his land, such an inseparable connection with it, such a purity of moral attitude that it is impossible not to be infected by them.”
Translated into many languages, Lesnaya Gazeta is included in the golden fund of world children's literature. In essence, it includes all the work of Vitaly Bianchi.
The works of Bianchi are excellent material for reading, educating and developing children, especially today, when humanity is on the verge of an ecological disaster.
With all his creative activity, the writer sought to reveal to the young reader the richness and diversity of his native nature, to instill love for it. In the article “Upbringing with Joy,” he wrote: “But in order to teach children kindred attention to everything that lives with us on earth, you only need one thing: to passionately love your native land. Having conveyed this love to children, the educator will endow them with all the endless joys that the knowledge of the native land brings to a person, the disclosure of small, and then big secrets of nature.

Conclusion
In Soviet Russia of the post-revolutionary period, the formation of politically and class-biased children's literature almost immediately began, which was supposed to open the way for children "to a clear understanding of the great things that are happening on earth", which called for the release of children from the pernicious yoke of the old book. The leadership of the country takes a tough position in creating class and politically oriented children's literature, which is reflected in the decisions of the party and government. So, in fact, in the party documents the task of forming a "new man" is clearly set.
In the very first post-revolutionary decade, writers appear who work in children's literature. V.V. Bianchi and many others are engaged in the creation of works for children. Functional orientation, propaganda certainty, the requirement to attract party, trade union and Soviet organizations to create children's literature to help the Komsomol existed even when Soviet children's literature as a mass phenomenon was just emerging.
Thus, after 1917, children's literature began to have a purposeful ideological character. Children's writers were tasked with creating a new type of children's book. The children's book became one of the main tools with which the Soviet government solved the problem of creating a "new man". During this period, the publication and content of a children's book was shaped by those who led the country and determined its future.

Vitaly Bianchi biography for children will help prepare for the lesson and learn about the work and life of the writer and author of children's works.
