AUTHORS Soviet national anthem El-Registan and Sergei Mikhalkov asked Stalin Give them a pencil that LEADER OF THE RULES TEXT "indestructible union ..."
Memories of episodes honor the authors of the text in the military anthem Moscow shared friend El-Registan actress Tamara Avetisyan

 

57 years ago, in 1943, the Soviet Union was a competition for the best text of the National Anthem of the Soviet Union (previously the functions performed "Internationale"). This decision clearly demonstrates excellent knowledge of Joseph Stalin's psychology. In one series with this tactic can be placed unless the holding of November 7, 1941 military parade on Red Square in Moscow ... So, the summer of 1943. Another ongoing Battle of Stalingrad and the siege of Leningrad, has just released Kharkov, Orel and Kursk, before the release of Left-Bank Ukraine, Kiev, Minsk, Belarus and the countries of Eastern Europe, and the creative intelligentsia of the country is already working on building one of the key attributes of the state. To participate in the All-Union Competition and correspondents have applied the front of the newspaper "Stalin Falcon, friends Sergei Mikhalkov and El-Registan.
Name a room in a communal Registan rented a room in a hotel "

About co-national anthem of the Soviet Union, El-Registan much less is known than that of Sergei Mikhalkov. To fill this gap, I went to the house of the soloist of the Kiev Philharmonic Tamara Avetisyan, who knew the family of Registan. Her apartment on the street Tithe like exhibition hall: the walls hang portraits of a young lady brushes folk artist Georgia Robert Sturua and from Kiev, Boris Schatz, a famous painting by the French artist Michel de Serevilya, wool carpet hand-woven grandmother actress in Nagorno-Karabakh, over 100 years ago, many photographs and items donated by famous guests, including wine glasses from the writer Alexander Korneychuk, books composer Giya Kancheli and his son Sergo Beria Gegechkori. And the author's copy of the Hymn of the Soviet Union with the signatures of Sergei Mikhalkov and El-Registan.

- Tamara K., how did you know that El-Registan and Mikhalkov work together on the text of the anthem?

- One day in 1943 I went on Stoleshnikov Lane and unexpectedly met a friend of Tashkent Valya Galanin with her husband. They invited me to his hotel room. Of course, Valentin could not help but boast that her husband El-Registan in collaboration with the famous writer Sergei Mikhalkov, wrote the hymn.

In fact, in the Registan was a room in a communal apartment near the subway station "Kaluzhskaya". But for convenience, he lived in the hotel "Moscow" - then it could afford, because the room was worth a penny.

In those years a tradition of night vigils (Stalin, as we know, worked at night. - Ed.). As the authors worked closely with management and, in particular, with the Soviet Union Marshal Klim Voroshilov in charge of government cultural affairs, they often went to work at night, and returned only in the morning. In those days I stayed overnight with Valley in the room Registan.

- Tell me, how so unusual for Soviet-era name - El-Registan?

- The real first name and patronymic of the El-Registan, an Armenian by nationality - Gabriel Arkadevich Ureklyan. He was born in Tbilisi in 1906, then moved to Samarkand and eventually became a popular journalist in Uzbekistan. Friends call him Gabo, or El. The last syllable of his name is the first part of a future date a pseudonym, and for the second part of the name was chosen architectural gems of Samarkand - Registan Square. Later, El-Registan moved to Moscow and worked as a correspondent in the newspaper "Izvestia".
"The authors of the anthem were confident of success long before the end of the contest"

- Under what circumstances did you meet with Sergei Mikhalkov?

- Oh, for me, a poor student of the Moscow Road Institute and the Moscow Conservatory, acquaintance with him was an event. Then the name was very popular. Once I was visiting the Registan, and they went Sergey. I was charmed by his simplicity and sociability. He jokingly started calling me "Tamaridze.

From conversations with friends I have the impression that they were confident of success even before the final, third round, although in competition attended by a large number of applicants. Texts, past the second round, took a 600 page book. Projects anthem differ in style and size. Many famous Stalin openly, others were so flowery and wordy, which penetrate into the wilds of their meaning was not easy. The most concise and clear, indeed, was the text Mikhalkov and El-Registan.

Before the approval of the hymn text, the authors took Stalin. And I remember his mark in the "noble Union of free republics": Stalin believed that the word "noble" for the common people associated with the treatment, your Honor. " After this remark in the text appeared the word "unbreakable.

Authors begged Stalin to give them a pencil, which the leader to make notes. Boards of text, together with a pencil stored in Gabon, and after his death passed to Mikhalkov.

- What are the honors were provided to the authors Hymn of the USSR?

- On the night of January 1, 1944 the text of the National Anthem of the Soviet Union was approved by the Supreme Soviet of the USSR. In addition to cash prizes, Sergei Mikhalkov and El-Registan singled out the apartment.

In those days, Mikhalkov-Konchalovsky's family lived in the house of N 6 Gorky Street. Despite the pompous appearance of "Stalin", the apartments here are small, very close. Mikhalkovs living space consisted of two rooms - 16 and 14 square meters and six-meter - for the servants. By decision of the Government of the apartment gave Registan, and Mikhalkov provided near a four.
"The heads of the Union Republics vied invited Mikhalkov and El-Registan in their apartments"

- As the heads of the republics that participated in the meeting of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, lived in the same hotel with the Registan, they vied with each other invited authors anthem in their apartments. But Mikhalkov, El-Registan and their spouses, I got an appointment with the chairman of the Council of Ministers of Armenia Mnatsaku Papyanu. Products for the Armenian delegation were spetsvagone. We had to wait long for an invitation to the table, as cook, go for them, detained by police for travel around the city without a pass.

While to ascertain the circumstances of what happened, the guests entertained. Valentine performed Uzbek dance, I have something to sing. Mikhalkov's wife, Natalya Petrovna, who spoke English very well, which was then a rarity, reciting Byron's own translation. And then during the reading of Homeric laughter rang out. Sergey tossed a strand of hair on his forehead and was strikingly similar to Hitler. This scene is very present cheered and Natalya Petrovna has led to confusion. Then in a noble family there were heated explanation. The two men in one family - the most popular in those days, Sergey and erudite Surikova granddaughter and daughter Konchalovsky Natalia Petrovna - very difficult combined.

Later authors hymn took the chairman of the Council of Ministers of Tajikistan Kurbanov. Stalin believed that power must be representatives of the people, and Kurbanov, fully consistent with this vision of the leader. In the room he was sitting in an Astrakhan hat, and the accompaniment of a national instrument, sang folk songs. At a minimum of snacks on the table stood a battery of "Champagne".

Over time, Stalin withdrew Kurbanov to the leadership position, as it turned out that one of the members of a gang of robbers, convicted in Tajikistan, was his son. Each one held in the case were sentenced to 25 years, and chairman of the Council of Ministers defined the son of 5 years. During this Kurbanov and removed.
"At the reception, Stalin drank red wine and ate boiled egg yolks"

- Following the approval of the anthem of its authors were invited to a government reception, held at the Bolshoi Theater - continues the conversation Tamara K.. - From the stories of Registan I remember that at the reception Stalin drank red wine and ate only boiled egg yolks. From the excess impressions Gabo forgot where small fiber suitcase, which in those years, replaced the "diplomat". The next day the loss was taken to his hotel room.

- Please recall the details of life in wartime Moscow.

- In those years all of Moscow was fed and dressed for the card and coupon system. I am an actress as a third category of the All-Union tour and concert association had a salary of 1200 rubles. But under the existing rule in the rehearsal period to pay only half-time. Since I am only prepared the program, studying with choreographer, accompanist, director, I paid 600 rubles a month.

Dined in a restaurant of hotel "Astoria", to which I attached. Partially restaurant serves the customers at commercial prices - you even have no idea how to! I was an ordinary sandwich available. And in the card section of my grocery cards, lined on the proteins, fats and carbohydrates, cut out the necessary program and were given lunch. Separately, I was still bread-ticket.

Therefore, we can only guess how I felt, being a guest in the restaurant of the hotel "National" at the Manege Square. It was another privilege for the authors anthem and their spouses. Natalya Petrovna in this day feeling well, and Registan invited me. Lunch for four filed in the office of diplomatic receptions, furnished with antique furniture. I could not look away from the slide with a sparkling crystal Russian reminiscent of sparkling spray of sea foam in the sun. Besides us, the visitors were. A huge table was free, and we sat in a corner cabinet for a small round table.

While no one is ordered, all meals and do make ... I remember the fish, meat, expensive meals, wine, served in antique decanters. At the end of the meal served coffee, cheese and fruit. Sergei took a piece of cheese with his hands, to which Gabriel said: "Serge, this elegant surroundings, and you hands you take the cheese." Mikhalkov assured that bra-and-diamonds (he stuttered a little) cheese hands allowed. Then the men were arguing on the champagne, as well as a referee called the maitre d'hotel, who served in the "National" before the revolution and knew all the nuances of etiquette. He explained that his hands can not take nothing but sandwiches on the buffet table. So Mikhalkov lost.

Fairytale dinner lasted over two hours. After that I returned to the prose of everyday life: living in a dormitory of the Moscow Road Institute in Sophia embankment, immediately after the Stone Bridge; all day running around to classes to their teachers, who lived and worked in different parts of Moscow. In the ensemble of Igor Moiseyev Dance me to put to folk songs. In the Moscow Jewish Theater Mikhoels me engaged Jewish songs. The voice put the wife of former Soviet Ambassador in Italy, Anna Semyonovna Stein.

Once when I came to her lesson, she told me: "Honey, now do not do it. Such grief! Killed the daughter of our friend, Ambassador to Mexico, Uman. It turned out, the girl was killed just before her departure to Mexico in love with her student directly to the Metropolitan Government schools. After that, PE, galvanized the entire town, Stalin issued an order to disperse the school and take the perpetrators outside the capital. Shortly couple Uman died in a plane crash on a flight to Mexico. On this tragedy in detail Ilya Ehrenburg wrote in his book "People, Years, Life".


In a loud case of those years was the arrest of the famous pop singer Vadim Kozin. Once behind the wall of a hotel room Registan we heard a suspicious noise. Later it turned out that just as his arrest. Incidentally, the actor was arrested for, as one would say today, sexual orientation. After all, if homosexuality was punishable criminally.

Around the same time, the Union returned repeatedly asked about leadership of the country singer Alexander Vertinsky. At this time the benevolent mood Stalin graciously permitted: "Let him back!" El-Registan one of the first came on a visit to Vertinsky, resided in the same "Moscow". Concerts famous actor were in overcrowded rooms with great success. To get at them was impossible, but Gabo helped me to get 100 tickets for students of the Institute of the road. By the way, was born Alexander Vertinsky in Kiev, in the house N 43 on the street of Vladimir, on the front of which a memorial plaque.
Gabriel won the heart of an artist, who was younger than his 17 years

- Tell me, you Muscovite?

- No, you. I was born in Tashkent, the Armenian Street. This area was inhabited by Armenians, who fled in 1916 from the Turkish massacres of the Nagorno-Karabakh. Shortly before the war in Uzbekistan started construction of the Grand Fergana Canal and Casa-Say reservoir. Students of Tashkent Institute of Irrigation and Reclamation of Agriculture, among whom was I brought to this work. On the construction crews often came to music. Here I met a dancer Valley Galanin, which was soon given the title of Honored Artist of Uzbekistan. In 1940 at the Grand Fergana Canal came from Moscow, special correspondent of the newspaper "Izvestia" El-Registan. 40-year-old Gabriel won the heart of an artist, who was younger than his 17 years. Her mother-staroverka insisted that they were combined legal marriage. U of Registan this marriage was the second.

On June 22, 1941 our group was assigned to set-off, but no one on campus is not allowed: there was already at enlistment. Although Tashkent has not occupied, the city lived under military law. In the capital of Uzbekistan were evacuated by the Leningrad Conservatory, the Academy of Sciences, Moscow Jewish Theater Mikhoels. This also came from Moscow, and my friend Valentina Galanin. And her husband El-Registan, as Sergei Mikhalkov, remained in the capital and worked in front-line newspaper "Stalin falcons".

As a student of the Institute of Irrigation, in 1941, I entered the conservatory, where the professor came to class Bragin, evacuated from Moscow. But as soon as the professor an opportunity to return to the capital, he took it. Therefore, to continue my studies I decided to go for him. Because without a pass to get to Moscow was impossible, I quickly moved up in MADI, which was evacuated in the town of Yangi-Julia. So in 1942 I was in Moscow and entered the Moscow Conservatory.

- Why did you have moved from Moscow to Kiev?

- Back in Tashkent look after me, my current husband evacuated from Kiev. Later he went to the front, and after the war he returned to his city. Once, when I returned from Vienna, where she performed in concerts, he met me at the Kiev railway station in Moscow and made me an offer. After solving all the problems I moved to her husband in Kiev. For a long time been a soloist with the Kiev Philharmonic and has worked in joint concerts with the trio of Ukrainian Bandura, Tarapunka and plugs, maintained friendly relations with the soloist of the Kiev Opera House Zoya Gaidai and Larisa Rudenko, a People's Artist of Ukraine Mykola Grinko, a teacher of the Kiev Theatrical Institute Elena Sturua, film director Sergei Paradzhanov, Fyodor Patorzhinskim, owner of Paris "Golden Scissors" Hertz Mepenom and other famous people of Kiev.

My husband still works in the Radio Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine and will soon celebrate 60-year anniversary of being in this group. Indoors the Radio, who was after the war in the streets of the Tithe, in the house where leadership is now live person, I also had written a lot of gear.
"After the death of Registan apartment in Gorky turned into communal"

- And how in the future there was destiny spouses Registan?

- Since I was busy with his own problems with education, housing, and I had to choose between the Institute and the Conservatory, the time for dalliance remained. And gradually, I drifted away from the family El-Registan.

Once met on the street Valya. At this point I was looking for shoes to a new scenic costume and shared it with a friend. Valentine promised to sell me your silver shoes and invited to come to visit her the next day.

As we agreed, I called Valentine. Alien voice replied that the widow could not answer the phone - died El-Registan. Yesterday, during our meeting, there is no talk about the health problems of spouse was not. His death was very unexpected. When Gabriel appeared in the "Kremlin", they all wondered how he could have in this state to come to the hospital. In his obituary, signed by members of the government, famous writers and composers, including Simonov, Sholokhov, Tvardovsky, Tichina, Bazhanov, Rila, reported on a brief serious illness. After the funeral in the premises of the Union of Writers of Registan's coffin was taken to the Novodevichy Cemetery and buried near the graves of Alexei Tolstoy, with whom he befriended during his lifetime. At the funeral came to his first wife and son from his first marriage, his wife Valentina, and another woman - mother of an illegitimate daughter. In short, the situation was not a pleasant one. I was standing some distance.

After the death of Registan apartment on Gorky Street turned into a communal apartment. From Georgia came to his mother, and the Writers' Union applied for her single room. The second gave his wife, and a third, six meters, - illegitimate young daughters. After a series of exchanges in the apartment are living strangers.

... When our conversation came to an end, Tamara Avetisyan reluctantly agreed to disclose the true reason for termination of friendly relations with Gabriel and Valley. El-Registan treated Tamara Konstantinovna patronizingly, as a countrywoman. Having an apartment, suddenly made her an offer. He wanted his wife and the mistress of his house was Armenian. But the woman did not gave no reason for such a turn of events, considered the proposal a married man as immoral and stopped going to their house. Shortly after the death of the Registan, Valya told her that her husband actually talked about divorce, and on the eve of his death, they had a big quarrel occurred.

P.S. The text of the National Anthem of the Soviet Union has experienced one of its authors - El-Registan only a decade. After the conviction of the cult of personality because of the line "We grew Stalin allegiance to the people", the words were discarded and the national anthem prior to the adoption in 1977, the new edition was played only music Alexandrov.

Is America is

Map of the world before us:
This is the land, but water
Here are marked by circles
In different countries, cities.

Hundreds of them: big, metropolitan,
Chief, glorious, world.
Many thousands of them: ordinary
Inconspicuous, ordinary ...

There is a great city:
London, New Delhi, Rome, Paris.
Our people are proud of Moscow --
Is that Moscow compare!

And let not the same
Cities of different path
But in his own way, however,
All prom anything:

Oil City, the city of steel,
Media city of crystal,
Here - carpets woven centuries,
Here - for centuries baked
All sizes pretzel.

This city is so well known,
With expanses of land
Every year on the feast of songs
He collects people.

City - Museums,
The city-port and the garden city.
All colors in the hothouse
City-paradise! And the city-hell!

City-hell! .. About it in the newspaper
Have read you and me.
There is such a white light,
Where to sit in the dungeons of children --
Children with a bitter fate.

He has recently become known
No boiling of labor,
A disorder, and dishonor
And their ignorance.

Savage deeds
It is now known to all --
In the wild, the state of Alabama
Horrible city Birmingham.

City of anger, the city groan,
Where in the darkness burning crosses,
Where are you going to outlaw
In the eyes of Washington,
If the skin is black you are!

I heard:
"Enough!"
I want to live like a man!
Why the land of Lincoln
Revived slave age?

I want to like everything to work,
At night, not to tremble in fear,
Together with the white study,
Color is not ashamed
And do not humiliate yourself! "

But goons Ku Klux Klan
Bawled in reply:
"You let loose early --
You hang a thousand years!
Well, those white mongrels,
Too honest, too bold,
Those that with you at the same time,
We'll kill all the same! "

And they said negros: "We must
We have the freedom to take themselves! .. "
In Birmingham - the barricades ...
The barking of dogs ... Fire and smoke ...

Do you like my sister
To see a doll in the grass --
Six-year old girl
Doll beaten on the head!

You wanted to, so you paid,
As white, par --
As you open the fire,
As in the battle in the war ...

Under running cold water
Snapped tree.
From America's "free"
Get a jet in the face! ..

For America is not new
Dirty word "racist."
I cursed the word
Zamaraev sheet of paper ...

That none of the foreigners
Terrible truth can not be learned
Publishes Americans
Polychromatic magazine.

It funny pictures:
Near blacks - blondes
And a smile from ear to ear
У больших и малышей.
Negros-Pope, negros-mom
There and dance and sing ...

Only in Alabama
That magazine does not sell!

And flipping through those pages,
I am sure you will understand:
This is - a bright, color,
Colorful lie!

The American dollar is important,
Which all-day climbs in the loan
Once
C met the Soviet ruble.

And well, well, swagger and boast full swing:
"Before me trembling human race
Open to me, all the doors, all of the capital,
The ministers and merchants, and other titles of persons
Hurry to me with outstretched hand.
I still can not buy what they desire,
I'm liking alone, others - I'll have to execute,
I've seen Greece, I visited in China --
Compare it with me some ruble? .. "

"And I'm with you I do not think equal", --
Soviet ruble told him in response.
"I know who you are, and if already admitted:
What is it that you saw the light?

You in any country should only appear
As for your following areas and death are.
For black case you take the murderer
Traders home to put you in the pocket.

I'm the people's ruble, and I am in the hands of the people,
Who builds the world and the world world beckons
And all the enemies out of spite I'm growing stronger year by year.
Well, get out - the Soviet ruble is coming! "

Friends of the crowd was.

There were ten boys in single file
On the morning dew,
And each was a student
And Voroshilovsky shooter
I lived near it.

They hurried to the lesson
But then it happened:
At the intersection of two roads
They met the enemy.
