Yuri Vizbor was born in Moscow on June 20, 1934. His mother, Maria Shevchenko, and father, Jozef Vizboras (in the Russian version, his unusual Lithuanian surname lost the last two letters, and the name began to be written as "Joseph") met in Krasnodar. Jozef was a red commander, a sailor, and also a good artist. During the years of Stalin's terror, he was repressed, and in 1958 he was posthumously rehabilitated. Yuri and his mother (a medical assistant by education) were forced to "travel" around the country in search of earnings. Part of Vizbor's childhood was spent in Khabarovsk, then he and his mother returned to Moscow, where they survived the Great Patriotic War. During his school years, Yuri first picked up a guitar and learned to play with the "yard teachers". At the age of 14, under the influence, as he recalled in his autobiography, "great principled love" wrote his first quatrain. But he did not want to be an artist (his father taught little Yura painting), or a musician, or a poet. He dreamed of becoming a pilot or a football player. In 1951 he entered the Pedagogical Institute, where Yuri Ryashentsev, Yuri Koval and other future publicists and writers studied at the same time as Yuri Vizbor. In addition to studying directly, the students devoted a lot of energy to sports and not only out of desire: mainly girls studied at the institute, so in the first year, for example, Yuri had to defend the honor of the university and the literary faculty in competitions in eleven (!) Sports ... But mountaineering became the main affection. At the same time - in the first or second year - Vizbor wrote his first song "Madagascar": he put his own words to music from Sergei Obraztsov's Puppet Theater play "Under the rustle of your eyelashes". By the way, in his first song period, Yuri Vizbor composed many songs not to his own music, but with the participation or in full co-authorship with fellow composers Svetlana Bogdasarova and loyal friend Vladimir Krasnovsky. The first completely independent experiments were Teber-Song, Blue Mountains, Romantics. Not all of them are included in the "golden collection" of the author's song. The wave of "pedagogical writing" was supported by Julius Kim, Boris Vakhnyuk, and Ada Yakusheva (the future first wife of Vizbor) who came to the institute a little later. This is how the Soviet bard song was actually born as a professional mass genre. In 1955, Yuri Vizbor graduated from the Moscow State Pedagogical Institute and went on assignment to the village of Kizema, Arkhangelsk Region, where he taught Russian, literature, geography, English, physical education ... Then he was drafted into the army. He served in the North of Russia, in Karelia, Khibiny together with Krasnovsky. There he first tried his hand at the role of a journalist: his stories, poems and even the battle anthem of signalmen were published in the army newspapers. This experience was so important for self-determination that, after returning to Moscow, Yuri Vizbor began working in radio - in the State Committee on Television and Radio Broadcasting - and also resumed hiking in the mountains and communicating with colleagues in the song workshop. At that time, the so-called "student song" (then it had not yet received a stable name "amateur" and "bardic") developed rapidly, and Vizbor not only composed his own, but also included in the repertoire the best examples of other people's creativity - Bulat Okudzhava, Dmitry Sukharev, Novella Matveeva, Evgeny Klyachkina, Mikhail Ancharova. In October 1962, the radio station "Yunost" went on the air, the initiative of the creation of which belonged, in particular, to Vizbor, who wished to activate youth radio broadcasting in the country. Another brainchild of Yuri Vizbor was the first in the USSR magazine with flexible plates "Krugozor". In the first issue of the magazine - in April 64th - Vizbor's work was published in the original genre - the song-reportage "On the Rasvumchorr plateau". In 1970, Vizbor's cooperation with television and cinema began - he began to work at the "Ekran" Central Television Company as a staff scriptwriter, although back in 1966 he shot the documentary "Tuva" according to his own script. In "Screen" Vizbor wrote scripts for more than forty documentary (geographical, historical, popular science) tapes. His paintings "The Chelyuskin Epic", "Doctor" (1974), "Murmansk-198", "To the Pole!" (1980) have won awards at international festivals. The last two films he created were devoted to the Great Patriotic War - "Battle for the Dnieper" and "Victory Spring", which he completed in 1984, already knowing that he was terminally ill - Vizbor was diagnosed with cancer. Several feature films were filmed based on Vizbor's scripts: "Year of the Dragon", "Captain Frakass", "Leap" and, of course, "Breakfast with a view of Elbrus". Yuri Vizbor is also known as a dramatic actor. He began filming in 1965: when he was invited to the picture of Marlen Khutsiev "July Rain", then the call from "Mosfilm" to the editorial office of "Krugozor" Yuri perceived as someone's joke. In this film he played almost himself and sang two songs ("Forgive the infantry" Okudzhava and his "Calm, comrade, calmly"), in other films - "Retribution", "Red tent", "Rudolfio", "Diary of the school director "and others - he also got characters that were close in character or profession (teachers, people with a guitar, a ski coach, Arctic researcher, journalist). The exception was the most memorable role of Vizbor - Bormann in "Seventeen Moments of Spring". Nevertheless, Yuri Vizbor always considered journalism his main profession, although he wrote poetry, songs, prose, was a wonderful athlete and even painted well (at the beginning of 2000 an exhibition of his landscapes was held in Moscow). Many believed that he was too gifted by nature and even too scattered ... Yuri Iosifovich Vizbor died on September 17, 1984 in the Moscow oncological center on the Kashirskoe highway. He was only 50 years old. He is survived by two daughters - Tatiana and Anna. About Yuri and his songs - "My dear," "Okhotny Ryad", "You are my only", "Seryoga Sanin", "Do not believe in parting, old man", "Let's fill our hearts with music" - do not forget fans of the author's song and young bards at the famous Grushinsky festival. Almost every year, on the twentieth of June, the Rossiya State Central Concert Hall hosts an evening in memory of Yuri Vizbor "Don't Believe the Separations, Old Man", timed to coincide with his birthday, with the participation of friends and colleagues from the author's song. Many works by Yuri Vizbor were included in the "Songs of Our Century" series.
