Alexander Vampilov became Alexander because the year of his birth (1937) marked one hundred years since Russia lost Pushkin - the boy’s father was a literature teacher, and how could he have called his son anything else?.. After graduating from school, Vampilov entered to the Faculty of History and Philology of Irkutsk University, from which he graduated in 1960. Vampilov’s work was cut short by a tragic accident. Two days before his 35th birthday, on August 17, 1972, Vampilov and his friends went on vacation to Lake Baikal. The boat caught on a snag and capsized. Vampilov decided to swim to the shore. He reached it, touched the ground with his feet, and at that moment his heart could not stand it. An unfinished work remained on his desk - the vaudeville “The Incomparable Tips”...

By the age of 35, Vampilov had written five plays, the same number as Chekhov. It had already been staged in many provincial theaters, and he became a fashionable playwright in Moscow and Leningrad. Alexander Vampilov did not live to see his Moscow premieres, which he dreamed of more than anything else in the world, exactly a month ago. Only a year will pass, and he will become the “leader of the repertoire”; there will be almost no theaters left in the country where Vampilov’s plays are not performed. The Ermolova Theater and Sovremennik, the Moscow Art Theater and the Bolshoi Drama Theater will include him among their title authors.

Alexander Vampilov is one of those rare names and phenomena in Russian literature (I would also include Nikolai Rubtsov here) for whom loud public words seem small and overwhelming. They are of a different measure. Before talking about Vampilov, I would like to remain silent - both over his fate, which during his life was not spoiled with recognition, which ended his life early, and before meeting his heroes, standing in the direction where it is not crowded with crowds, because goodness, light, conscience and hope there are quiet, unearthly and convincing.

Prove that the presented skit is a vaudeville? What's so funny about the situation? The dialogue between Nakonechnikov and Eduardov includes singing and dancing. What role do they play in the play? Can the characters’ judgments and actions be considered frivolous and vaudeville?

What is vaudeville exposition? What is her role? An old barbershop in a big city. A small room, part of which is curtained with a curtain. Three work chairs, mirrors, a hanger by the door, a table nearby for newspapers and two chairs for customers waiting in line. Summer day, afternoon. The door to the street is wide open. Somewhere nearby they are playing a monotonous pop tune. Lounging in one of the chairs was a simple-minded young man in a white jacket. This is the master of the Tips establishment. Worn out by the heat and forced idleness, yawning from time to time, he leafs through a thin book with color pictures. At that moment, Dutov appears, a man of about sixty, corpulent, balding, wiping sweat from his forehead and neck.

At what point does the thought of changing profession appear in the hero’s head? What stages does it go through? I see you're lucky... (Not right away.) Listen, how is talent defined? Who defines it? How to say?.. At first nothing. Then this and that... (Breathes heavily.) Now - I don’t know... In short, I’m tired... (Not right away.) What to do? Where to go? Three years... I settled here after the army. Originally from the village. I have only seven classes... EDWARDS. So try it. Suddenly - talent. TIPS. Do they pay for this? How to write them - plays? What should I write about? Mikhail Nakonechnikov. Playwright. Don’t you know this?....Well, nothing. You'll hear more.

Here his earthly path was interrupted, and his name and portrait remained forever on the stele facing the mouth of a fast river, running, according to legend, from a strict father. We were very touched by the last minutes of the playwright’s life. On August 17, 1972, two days before his 35th birthday, Vampilov passed away. This is how Yuri Nagibin describes what happened: “Glebushka (Pakulov) is not to blame for Vampilov’s death; it’s just that the power of life turned out to be stronger in him. When their boat capsized near the shore, Glebushka began to scream heart-rendingly and the people who happened to be on the shore came to his aid. Proud Vampilov was silent, and his heart broke in the icy water. First of all, we must save the one who is silent....” According to the description of witnesses to the incident, the boat in which Vampilov and Pakulov were caught on a snag and capsized. Pakulov grabbed the bottom and began to call for help. And Vampilov decided to swim to the shore. And he reached it, touched the ground with his feet, and at that moment his heart could not stand it.

Vampilov was buried at the Radishchevsky cemetery. His family, friends and complete strangers came to say goodbye to him. And here, in the cemetery, two strange events occurred, which many interpreted as mystical. Firstly, his friends forgot with them the ropes with which they should lower the coffin into the grave. As soon as this was discovered, they rushed to the cemetery watchman, but he was not there. They began looking for him throughout the cemetery and eventually found him. By the time he returned to his hut, by the time he got the ropes, by the time they were brought to the grave, probably about an hour had passed. And all this time the coffin with the deceased stood on the edge of the grave, waiting for... That’s when someone in the crowd said: “Sanya doesn’t want to go to his grave so early...” These words were remembered once again by everyone present a few minutes later. When they tied the coffin with ropes and began to lower it into the grave, it suddenly turned out that the hole was too small...

A. Vampilov entered literature young and remained young in it. “I laugh at old age, because I will never be old,” Vampilov wrote in his notebook.

Slide 4

The year of Vampilov’s birth was the year of the 100th anniversary of the death of Pushkin, in whose honor he was named Alexander. This year, father, Valentin Nikitich, subscribed to the complete works of his favorite poet: for children. And the residents of Kutulik, one of the most remote Siberian villages in the Irkutsk region, remembered for a long time the evening at the club, where the school director, literature teacher V.N. Vampilov, selflessly read them the poems of the great poet. But in my father’s prophetic dreams there was not only light. According to popular belief, round - fractions - mean tears: they shed in 1939, when my father was arrested on false charges and shot at the age of 40.

Anastasia Prokopyevna had four children in her arms, the eldest of whom was seven years old. “After the death of my husband,” she says, “I remained to work as a mathematics teacher in the same school in the village of Kutulik, where we started teaching together. For twenty-two long years I lived with my children in the village, in a barracks-type log house. The house stood in the schoolyard - that’s where Sasha grew up.

Slide 7

I read a lot. I wrote poems during my school years, but never showed them to anyone. Hid it. Under an oath, Sanya read to his friends: The flowers of my spring have long since faded. / I stopped feeling sorry for them, / they burned me with their fire, / And I decided: they won’t burn anymore. / And I forgot about them. My efforts / Have returned peace and grace to the soul - / It is pleasant to experience the suffering of love, / And yet it is more pleasant to forget the suffering. He was a permanent member of the editorial board of the school newspaper and drew well. Sociability, disposition towards people, trustfulness and openness - traits of his character, he always loved life and people

Slide 8

“After school, I remember, I left without regret, I was eager to go to the city... But, moving away, didn’t I begin to return here more often in my thoughts?” - we read in Vampilov’s essay “Walks along Kutulik”“I think that after the death of the Vologda poet Nikolai Rubtsov, literary Russia did not have a more irreparable and absurd loss than the death of Alexander Vampilov. Both of them were young, talented, had an amazing gift to feel, understand and be able to express the most subtle and therefore unknown to many movements and desires of the human soul,” V. Rasputin wrote with bitterness and pain.

Vampilov – heir to the classics

"Eldest Son"
  • In 1967, Vampilov wrote the plays “The Eldest Son” and “Duck Hunt,” in which the tragic component of his drama was fully embodied. In the comedy The Eldest Son, within the framework of a masterfully written intrigue (the deception of the Sarafanov family by two friends, Busygin and Silva), the conversation was about the eternal values ​​of existence - the continuity of generations, the severing of emotional ties, love and forgiveness of close people to each other. In this play, the “metaphor theme” of Vampilov’s plays begins to sound: the theme of the house as a symbol of the universe. The playwright himself, who lost his father in early childhood, perceived the relationship between father and son as particularly painful and acute.
"Duck Hunt"
  • The hero of the play “Duck Hunt” Zilov became the victim of a dark friendly prank: his friends sent him a cemetery wreath and telegrams of condolences. This forced Zilov to remember his life in order to prove to himself that he was not dead. The hero’s own life appeared to him as a meaningless pursuit of easily accessible pleasures, which was in fact an escape from himself. Zilov understood that the only need in his life was duck hunting. Having lost interest in her, he lost interest in life and was planning to commit suicide. Vampilov left his hero alive, but the existence to which Zilov was doomed evoked both condemnation and sympathy from readers and viewers. “Duck Hunt” became a symbolic play of dramaturgy in the late 1960s.
