Senior members of the duo now known throughout the reading of Russia and elevated - deservedly - to the rank of the great poet.
Junior familiar to historians of art, but it is hardly remembered now, the masses in Russia. Meanwhile, there was a time when thousands of copies of the junior scattered around the country: portraits of combat pilots, not printed very clearly on the cheap postcards, but full of lively expression - during the Great Patriotic War, they knew everything, for him all my life I remember the name of the artist : Yar-Kravchenko.
And the name of the senior came under the ban deaf, and only old people remember that in pre-revolutionary years he was known to everyone who has that sort of meaning in poetry: Nikolai Klyuev. Then he vanished into oblivion the name and books were seized.
The artist wrote a large canvas "AM Bitter reads IV Stalin, VM Molotov KE Voroshilov, his tale "A Girl and Death", painted a cohort of leaders and luminaries of the Soviet era from Stalin to Djambula received the Stalin Prize, and this record came in Soviet dictionaries and encyclopedias.
Klyueva in these encyclopedias was gone.
Fairness: the epoch reabilitansa returned to the place its name: the poet Kluev already mentioned in the "Great Encyclopaedia" in 1980. But the artist Yar-Kravchenko there just deleted.
Let alone our Russian style of writing the history of the Fatherland and ask ourselves purely plot question: how could it happen meeting and experience the friendship of such malosovmestimyh citizens of the Fatherland? (c)
