Where was born

Moscow

Who was born

Born in a family of IFLI students (Institute of Philosophy, Literature, History). Grandfather - professor-orientalist, linguist N.F. Yakovlev, mother in the future - editor, father - doctor of philosophy.

“Grandfather came from the Andreevich-Andreevsky family, two of his ancestors were arrested in the case of the Decembrists, one, Yakov Maksimovich, was convicted at the age of 25 and spent his entire short life in hard labor (Petrovsky Plant near Ulan-Ude). He died in 1840 in a hospital for the insane. His portrait by N.A. Bestuzhev (copy of P.P. Sokolov) is in the State. Historical Museum

Our family adopted a home theater. The first mention of it refers to the 20s of the twentieth century (memoirs of Evg. Schilling). Yeah, I don't think it's just us. This wonderful tradition still lives in many Moscow families.”

“You know, my great-grandfather was a character of the Silver Age, a doctor and a secret Bolshevik, and for some reason he insisted that I should not be taught to read.”

Where and what did you study

She studied at the opera studio.

“I am, unfortunately, a failed singer.”

“I don’t remember my primers. In the evacuation in Kuibyshev, where I was brought at the age of three, we, enemies of the people, had only a few books. Grandma's choice of what to bring with you: "A Short Course in the History of the CPSU / b", "The Life of Cervantes" by Frank, the complete works of Mayakovsky in one volume and "A Room in the Attic" by Wanda Vasilevskaya. Great-grandfather ("Grandfather") did not allow me to teach to read. I learned this secretly, from the newspapers. Adults discovered this by accident when I began to recite passages from the "Short Course of History" - "And the river of the popular movement started, started" (with a howl). It seemed to me that these were poems. I did not understand Mayakovsky, apparently. My grandmother, Valentina , was the object of courtship of the young Mayakovsky, who for some reason called her "blue duchess" and called her in. When grandmother and her sister Asya reunited in Moscow after decades of forced absence, the mischievous Asya exclaimed: "I didn’t want a poet, I married a student and that received!"

Graduated from the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University.

Biography, life story of Petrushevskaya Lyudmila Stefanovna

Childhood and youth

Lyudmila Petrushevskaya was born in Moscow on May 26, 1938. Her father was a scientist, Ph.D., her mother was an editor. When Luda was still quite a baby, the war began. The girl spent some time in an orphanage in Ufa, and then her grandfather Nikolai Feofanovich Yakovlev, a Caucasian linguist, and grandmother Valentina took her to be raised. It is important to note that Nikolai Yakovlev was against teaching his granddaughter to read early. But Luda had a passion for literature in her blood - she learned to distinguish letters secretly from her grandfather, while still quite a baby.

In 1941, Luda and her grandparents were evacuated from Moscow to Kuibyshev. There Petrushevskaya spent several years of her life. After the end of the war, she returned to Moscow, graduated from high school, and then became a student at Moscow State University, Faculty of Journalism.

writing work

Lyudmila began to write poetry and prose in her youth. During her student days, she wrote scripts for skits and creative evenings, she really enjoyed it, but she did not even dream of being a serious writer. Everything turned out somehow by itself - naturally, smoothly, naturally.

In 1972, Petrushevskaya's story "Through the Fields" appeared on the pages of the Aurora magazine. It was Lyudmila's writing debut, after which she disappeared for ten years. Only in the second half of the 1980s did her works begin to be published again. Very soon her plays were noticed by theater directors. At first, productions based on her texts hit the stages of small and amateur theaters, and over time, eminent temples of art began to stage performances along Petrushevskaya with pleasure. So, in the Theater-Studio of the Palace of Culture "Moskvorechye" they staged her play "Music Lesson", in the Gaudeamus Theater in Lviv - "Cinzano", in the Taganka Theater - "Love", in "Sovremennik" - "Colombina's Apartment", in Moscow Art Theater - "Moscow Choir".

Date of Birth: 26.05.1938

Playwright, prose writer, children's writer, screenwriter, animator, artist. The dramaturgy and prose of Petrushevskaya is one of the most analyzed phenomena in Russian literature. Her work, which is a mixture of realism and absurdity, physiology and spirituality, sometimes causes conflicting responses from critics and readers.

Born in Moscow in the family of an employee. She lived a difficult military half-starved childhood, wandered around her relatives, lived in an orphanage near Ufa. By her own admission, she "stole herring heads from a neighbor's garbage can," and saw her mother for the first time at the age of 9.

After the war she returned to Moscow, graduated from the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University (1961). She worked as a correspondent for Moscow newspapers, an employee of publishing houses, since 1972 - an editor at the Central Television Studio. She began writing short stories in the mid-1960s. The first published work of the author was the story "Through the Fields", which appeared in 1972 in the magazine "Aurora". Although Petrushevskaya was accepted into the Writers' Union (1977), her works were not published for a very long time. The writer did not even mention any political topics, but the unattractive description of Soviet life contradicted the official ideology. Petrushevskaya's first book was published in 1988, when the writer was already 50 years old.

The very first plays were noticed by amateur theaters: the play "Music Lessons" (1973) was staged by R. Viktyuk, the first production on the professional stage was the play Love (1974) at the Taganka Theater (directed by Yu. Lyubimov). And right there, Petrushevskaya's plays were banned and until the second half of the 80s they were not staged on the professional stage. Despite the ban, Petrushevskaya was the informal leader of the post-Vampilian new wave in the dramaturgy of the 70s and 80s. Also in the 1970s and 1980s, several animated films were made based on Petrushevskaya's scripts. Including the famous "Tale of Tales" by Y. Norshtein.

The writer's attitude to the secondary nature changed with the beginning of perestroika. Her plays began to be actively staged, prose printed. Petrushevskaya became known to a wide range of readers and viewers. However, despite the well-deserved fame, the writer continued her literary experiments, creating works in the genre of absurdity, actively mastering the "profession" of a storyteller. The writer paints watercolors and takes part in rather extravagant musical projects. At the age of 70, Petrushevskaya became interested in animation and even created her own "studio": the Manual Labor Studio. Petrushevskaya is a member of the Russian PEN Center and Academician of the Bavarian Academy of Fine Arts.

Lyudmila Petrushevskaya lives and works in Moscow. Widow, husband director of the Gallery "on Solyanka" Boris Pavlov (died September 19, 2009).

Torah children. Two sons (Kirill Kharatyan and Fedor Pavlov-Andreevich) are well-known journalists. Daughter (Natalya Pavlova) is engaged in music.

Military childhood left a deep mark on the personality of Petrushevskaya. "German is always scary for me. I learned many languages, I speak several, but not German," says the writer.

The animated film "The Tale of Fairy Tales" based on a joint script by L. Petrushevskaya and Y. Norshtein was recognized as "the best animated film of all times and peoples" according to the results of an international poll conducted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts in conjunction with ASIFA-Hollywood, Los Angeles (USA), 1984.

Petrushevskaya claims that it was her profile that served as a "source of inspiration" for Y. Norshtein when creating the main character of "Fairy Tales" Hedgehog.

In 2003, Petrushevskaya, together with the Moscow free-jazz-rock ensemble Inquisitorium, released the album No. 5. The Middle of Big Julius, where she read and sang her poems to the accompaniment of whistling, the rumble of the ocean or barking dogs.
