The life and career of the writer

Gregory Mikhailovich Tyutyunnik was born 5 December 2021 g. in. Lilac Snicko district in Poltava region. Grandfather's hut, vintage, big, stood over by, which leads to the Gadyach. On market days passing men stopped to rest here, to Popo horses, listen to the conversation the three brothers tobacco: Paul, Michael and Philemon, who were able to "beautifully perekryvatel, that is, copy villagers".

Father, Mikhail Vasilyevich, was work on the farm. He was born in an intellectual. secretly, preparing to enter the pedagogical Institute, wrote poetry. The first marriage with vgau Everyday (mother of Gregory Sr.) was unsuccessful, they broke up before the birth of a son. Second wife, Anna M., was younger than him at sixteen years. She also worked on the farm.

In 1937 G., when Gregory was six years old, the father was arrested by the NKVD, from exile, he never returned. Mother was left a young widow, so she soon married. Small Gregory was taken to Donbass uncle Philemon. He, along with his wife, Natalia Ivanovna, steel for man at that time parents. Both worked at the school. Gregory studied the Russian language. As he writes in his autobiography, "from that time to 1962 years I talked, wrote letters (sometimes stories) only in the Russian language".

During the war, when uncle was taken to the front, but aunt gave birth to a girl, Grigor, fleeing famine, he returned to Poltava, to the mother.

Grigor Tyutyunnik: "Walked, having 11 years, three classes of education and an empty wallet, in which with the start of the trip was nine crackers, cake and Cup of honey — countrymen gave way to a. Then the products came out. Began to beg. The first time of asking it was very difficult, shame, was Admirala language and chest suffer, then a little used. Went exactly two weeks…"

After the war he enrolled in a trade school Sinkovska, because there wore and gave 700 grams of bread a day. Saved it and then Gregory and his mother from starvation. After graduation, did some work at the Kharkov plant them.. Malysheva, but got sick on the lungs, returned to Shilovka, became a farmer. And should the law then to work at the plant three years. For "escape" from Kharkov did 4 months in the colony. A vague memory of those years: "Now, when forced to do something heavy, all, not only is my father an enemy of the people, and I was a prisoner. And then mom took primacy…"

So it is not surprising, what Grigor runs away aimlessly. Turn on Donbass, where "slesarj, went to the cars, master"… A little lived with uncle and aunt, from them went to the army, He served in the Navy in the far East. There were seriously engaged in self-education, that did not leave and after demobilization. He graduated from night school.

During his military service starts to correspond with his older brother Gregory, whose works already printed. He replaced his father, was the first literary teacher. Helped financially, moral support, delicately bowed to the Ukrainian language. Later, the brothers often meet in Shilovka, until the morning will be idle for conversations on the bridge over the river, will become real friends. The Death Of Gregory Tiutiunnyk (the author of the novel "Whirlpool") in 1961 g. will be Grigor irreplaceable loss in their lives.

And while they were happy years (1957-1962) training at the faculty of Philology of Kharkiv University. They coincided with some warming in the society after the XX party Congress, which has been debunked "kulig of personality" of Stalin.

Hard working, wanderings, search for himself — now it was for him somewhere behind. Or there are now students, which it is clear that recognition: "Why I could not imagine a University without music, from above, with high ceilings, had to come quiet music, similar to organ"? The guy had the opportunity to read a lot, learn all kinds of science, chat with interesting people, to listen to yourself, be comforted by these discoveries, finally, learn the secrets of creativity.

However, the General atmosphere at the University was not very favorable for the development of extraordinary personality. Grigor Tyutyunnik it will quickly realize. The education system is conservative, dogmatic, sageraven: so inculcated vaccine prosurvival, autonomy of thought. Only the internal resistance of the rebellious luck, keen divljina in life could save you from imminent mancotta, the spiritual impoverishment.

Meanwhile, the life-giving wind of the thaw were already walking the long corridors of the University, fan / stream / envelop the dark corners of the Dorm on Tovkachi, where he lived Grigor. Students listen Vysotskiy Okudzhava, In toshavim, sly dance to forbidden "bourgeois" jazz, under the counter reading Tsvetaeva, Pasternak… However, it was only the illusion of democracy. The University had organized system of espionage". The fear of being suspected, called the "authorities" to cool hot heads.

Of course, it was not easy inflammatory, intolerant Grigor to restrain myself, sometimes "broke through" the "suspicious" remarks, as, say, on the General Komsomol meeting or seminars on the history SPRS. However, nothing took place without a trace. Spot iblognadine "truth-seeker", and the repressed son of an "enemy of the people" (although 1957 g. the father was posthumously rehabilitated) accompanied him. Besides writing stories, which cast a shadow of Soviet reality… Who knows, what would mean to the Grigor of study at the University!

In those years, he opposes all, what new Azubalis was a teacher, attempts to delineate and defend their own, special Outlook, the soul strives to feel "quiet music". But she really sounds him not there, where waited, will sound later in the creative process.

In 1961 g. Moscow journal "Peasant woman" print the stories of Tiutiunnyk "At dusk", written in Russian. Then he puts it in Ukrainian. Since then, with the native language will not part.

After graduating together with his wife Ludmila goes to work on the Donbass, he teaches in the evening school. There first born son Michael, named after his martyred grandfather. However, the writer is tormented by strange to him Russian-speaking environment. He wants to live there, where his heroes.

With 1963 g. Tyutyunnik in Kiev, this was primarily attributed to A. Dimarov and Gonchar. Settled in a small house on Andreevskiy Spusk, he worked in the newspaper "Literary Ukraine", later in the scenario workshop studios. In. Dovzhenko (here he wrote the screenplay based on the novel "Whirlpool"), in publishing.

In the then magazines printed stories Gr. Tyutyunnik. It is friendly accept and support the Kiev writers. Do about it quickly started to talk all, because out too much. Figure it was bright, colorful. High, shock, with black eyes, "deep and intelligent", from which peeped something noble proud, but sad, remembers Shaft. Shevchuk. Loved artistic and witty "revive" episodes for future works.

Somewhere in those years Nikolay Vingranovskiy, then Director, invites Grigor Tyutyunnik audition of the film "the Fleet turns West", which should have been removed on the Odessa film Studio. He remembers: "All, when I saw his audition on the screen, admired him, his talent, shouted, what this discovery, that was the end of it: someone somewhere called someone… I strongly suggested that Gregory not to remove, they say, let writes his novels…"

In 1966 g. it printed its first book "Ovary", in 1969 g. — "Yarrow". The same story noted prize all-Union contest, declared "Literary newspaper". Grigor Tyutyunnik is increasingly becoming a bone in the throat, I wanted sated and calm to live, producing your colorless, sageraven works. And the censorship worked flawlessly. Editing time seems to have been cut by the writer for a living, because each detail, the way so long nurtured in the heart. So, it was very tempting to party guards near the literature to tame this proud and strong man. For this he otruûvali life šel′muvannâm in the press, braking of publications and selected publications.

How long has the writer left the service in editorial, completely surrendered to their own artistic creativity. It is a lot of fruitful work.

In the 1970's "stagnant" years saw the publication of his book of short stories "Parental thresholds", "Kranevo", "The roots", the story "Klimko", "The light far away in the desert", the collections of stories for children "The steppe tale", "The weasel", "Forest Lodge".

Meanwhile visas Pharisees, creaking, rolled Bolshakov Ukrainian literature. At the same time amazing era of the 1960-ies could generate and volcanoes, not vmobile until the last moment (as Vasyl Symonenko, Alla Gorskaya, Vasyl Stus) or challenged all (how did Grigor Tyutyunnik).

He was a real volcano. Never compromise, hated flyweights, told them in the eye the truth, increasing the number of their opponents. "On each Ass three Can" he then characterizes the moral climate in Ukraine. In society he saw the awful chasm between words and deeds. The pain of the soul merged with anger, what was clicktale in it, but nothing changed. He deepened. With all external power and courage to actually Gregory was unprotected, too vulnerable, sincere, honest.

It's like he programmed his end. Uncomfortable his life since young went. Always felt alone. About this in his diaries, notebooks.

In February 1980 g. Gr. The Tyutyunnik was awarded a literary prize.. Lesja Ukrainka (for the books "Klimko", "The light far away in the desert"), And 7 March 2022 g. he caused the death. The artist was buried at Baikove cemetery in Kiev.

Only in 1989 g. the two volumes of posthumously elected him honouring the memory of the State prize of Ukrainian SSR named T. G. Shevchenko.
