Sergey Alekseev: biography and literary activity

The modern Russian writer Sergei Alekseev was born in the village of Aleika, in the Zyryansky district of the Tomsk region. Places of taiga, a land famous for fishing and hunting, than the future writer and was engaged literally since childhood, therefore till now considers as the most native place on earth this small settlement which is not present on one map.

Childhood

Sergei Trofimovich Alekseev was born in 1952 in the cold Siberian January, in Epiphany frosts. Any entertainment that gives the children a civilization, the future writer did not have, and why they are there, where the air is taiga thick, at least cut it with a knife, and in the taiga traces of animals and birds unprecedented to the townsman, like in paradise, they sing, in rivers not afraid Fish and berries on the flanks. The boy grew up a true taiga resident - he began to fish and hunt from the age of five.

In Siberia, the density of the population is such that in some places this figure tends to zero, for many kilometers people go to visit, and children go to school in the mornings in winter, get on skis, and in summer on foot or - rarely in the sixties - on a bicycle. So Sergei Alekseev ran seven kilometers every day to school and seven home.

Youth

Siberian children grow up to be thorough, because they start taking care of the family early, helping their parents in everything: whether it is a vegetable garden, whether they can get food in the taiga, prepare hay for the animals and firewood for the winter. This early responsibility brings up the best qualities in the younger generation and, most importantly, does not allow to break away from the origins of the culture of everyday life, it instills the best behavioral qualities.

That's Sergei Alekseev after the eighth grade of the school moved to evening school to help the family. The work of an assistant blacksmith is not easy, but in Siberia no one is looking for easy ways. For there are none. The future writer at the age of fourteen began work experience with the work of a chopper.

Unbound track

Separated from nature, Sergei Alekseev himself did not think, so the profession chose the corresponding one. He entered the technical school of geological prospecting in the regional ancient city of Tomsk. It is not for nothing that Tomsk is called Siberian Athens - it is here that the oldest and most respected educational institutions are concentrated. The students were then completely free of charge, but even the most stubborn, the most savvy and burdened by the greatest baggage of school knowledge came, regardless of solvency.

Most of the students worked for a small scholarship, wherever they could. So the future famous author also worked in a confectionery factory, besides studying. However, the time has come to pay the debt to the Motherland, and in the middle of the academic year, Sergei is being drafted into the army. At that time, they did not know a word of this, nor the notion of "slashing," service in the ranks of the Soviet Army was both obligatory and honorable. Sergei served in a special battalion, then returned to the technical school and successfully graduated.

Becoming a writer

Purposefulness of this person was not to occupy. Having finished his studies, Alekseev goes on a geological expedition to the polar Taimyr with a new diploma in his backpack. After a year of interesting work, Sergei felt that he had not learned everything in the world, and therefore entered the Tomsk University in the Faculty of Jurisprudence. In parallel with his studies, as always, he worked. This time - for several years the inspector of criminal investigation.

The first manuscripts in 1976, Alekseev simply burned: it's not up to the person who grew up in the Siberian taiga to deal with such pranks. In taiga settlements severe men, usually very few-sided, would laugh, probably. Or, on the contrary, they would have imbued with unspeakable respect, amazed: it is necessary, as he writes! However, if there is a writer's vein in a man, she will not write to him.

World of creativity

Since 1977, Sergei Trofimovich returned to hikes and expeditions. This time, he scrupulously recorded all his observations, and many of the features of his travels are reflected in the novels "Wolfhound," "Treasures of the Valkyrie," "Word," and others. His first experiments were quite traditional, in the genre of village prose, which was most suited to the experience and occupation of the writer. Nevertheless, there already stood the main features that the author Sergei Alekseev placed on the ramen of the following books: Vedic symbolism, Russian epic, distinct from the main trends of philosophy and even mysticism.

Unconventional views on the distant past and the rather close future that Alexeyev brought in his books, Russia and its writers' community took a mixed view. A vivid example of heated discussion and stormy criticism is the novel "Repentance of the Prophets." Nevertheless, Alexeyev was accepted into the Union of Writers of Russia and all kinds of prizes were awarded. In 1987, the writer graduated from the Higher Literary Courses at the Gorky Literary Institute in Moscow.

Wandering

The writer needed his own philosophy, confirmed by experience, because Sergey Alekseev, whose stories had already begun to grope the guiding thread, went to wander to the northern and circumpolar regions of Siberia, as well as to the Urals, where the Old Believer sketes still preserved the mysterious magic of the Russian language, In the archeology of the Russian word. As a result, a feeling of acute pain and longing for the lost and not saved was born. This was reflected in all subsequent novels.

The writer tries to grab as many interesting skills as life is so rich: he writes books about the etymology of the Russian language, about his history, tried himself in painting, drama, organizing holidays, even in musical production. In his spare time he leaves for the Urals or Vologda region. He built several houses with his own hands, a chapel and much more.

Merit

For the novel "The Word" the author Alekseev Sergey was awarded the Lenin Komsomol Prize in 1985, and in 1987 for the novel "Roy" was awarded the AUCCTU and the Writers' Union of the USSR. Then, in 1995, - the Sholokhov Prize after the release of the novel "The Return of Cain," and, finally, in 2009, Kuzbass awarded Sergei Alexeev a prize for the novel "Russia: We and the World."

The author of time and the person in it

Man is destined to lead a life in search. He is looking for a space where there is no evil. But man by nature is evil. Hence, to seek happiness - to flee from himself. How to reconcile man and the light of God? Is the task, especially at this crucial time, inevitable coming?

In all his books the author seeks and most often finds answers to these global questions. It is not known whether humanity will agree with the conclusions of Sergei Alekseev, but the number of admirers not only of his literature, but also of philosophy, is steadily growing. Large groups are created in social networks, the works of his publishing house are, as they say, "still puppies".

World outlook postulates

The writer says that the time at the junction of the historical epoch, which we got, is extremely interesting. The current period ends, according to the author, in 2021, and since 2007 we have already felt a turn for a new period: we were haunted by man-made disasters, the largest of which humanity did not yet know. Although Chernobyl happened in 1986 ... Everywhere was the fault of the human factor. Why is this happening?

Alekseev argues that technological progress in this case is disastrous for humanity, since its psychology changes much more slowly, with lagging a kind of fatigue begins. One hundred years of this shock about the euphoria brought by the rapid development of science, all sorts of discoveries, inventions that the human psyche can not master at such rates.

Science and technology, according to the author of books, becomes a scourge of God. Overcoming such a high mortality, which was inherent in mankind a century ago, reaching the Cosmos, finally, and all that was not possible quite recently, imperceptibly turns euphoria into pride: what we are not gods? Such a plan is "shamming," a feeling of omnipotence kills religious consciousness. As a result - a catastrophe, because without religious consciousness a person can not do anything. This is what Alekseev Sergey wrote novels about.

Care for descendants

Sergei Alekseev has a book - "Forty Russian Lessons", a study of the slogocorne concept of the Russian language, which naturally caused a big surge to the topic of etymology, almost forgotten in the masses, where the true origin and meaning of Russian words is considered, now rubbed with layers of newspeak. This is Sergei Alekseev for older children and, of course, for adults he wrote.

Kgiga is a success, many lovers of primordial Slavonic words began their research in this respect and set out to find sources for a deeper study of this topic. They were satisfied - Sergei Alekseev (photo attached) wrote a book "Vedic Grammatik" with a high density of information on the meanings embedded in Russian words. There is a periodic table of Dara Rech (slogokornevye basis) and a unique dictionary with a brief interpretation of the values of slogokorney.

Analytical work with the word

As a form of presentation of the material of these books, an essay came up perfectly, where the origin and development of the word can be traced from oral - sonic - speech to the transition to a writing system that had a sign system. Analysis of the slogan root of the Russian language brings the reader back to the deep past, revealing the psychology of our ancestors with their ancient world view, but at the same time the unspeakable cosmic scale of the laws - the Gift of Rech as the highest cultural value of mankind - opens before the reader's eyes.

The writer-historian Sergei Alekseev, whose photo is as original as his prose, has long been deeply fascinated with the theme of the Urals. There is an action in many of his books. Therefore, he supported the film project "Forgotten villages of the Urals." This creates a film about the outback of Russia, which lives contrary to all popular opinions, is full of new people, ideas.

Among them, and loved the Ural gave writer Sergei Alekseev. Films for which he wrote scripts: "Poems in the sand", "Prolongation of the family," "Return of Cain," is the film "Rain from the high clouds," show him as a connoisseur of historical events, and master of sharp and exciting stories, where realism Intertwined with mysticism, and historical realities with philosophical reflections. Respect for readers and viewers can be measured at least by the fact that the total circulation of his books has exceeded three million copies.
