HOW I LOVED LIFE!
- OH BELOVED, LAST!
Embraced by dawn, smoke and blizzard,
How I love Moscow while there is time.
Bella (at birth - Isabella) Akhmadulina is a native and resident of Moscow.
Moscow. Tverskaya Street (Then Gorky Street).
Oh, what half a kingdom is for me!
A child taught by centuries,
I'll take the horse, I'll give the horse
In half a moment with a person,
My beloved...
From a poem from 1959
Having written poetry since childhood, Akhmadulina entered the poetry seminar at the A.M. Literary Institute. Gorky, where her mentors were Alexander Kovalenkov and Mikhail Svetlov. In 1959, she was expelled from the institute for refusing to sign a letter against Boris Pasternak, but was reinstated a few months later.

This is what happens to me:
It’s not the same one that comes to me at all,
puts his hands on my shoulders
and steals from someone else...
From a poem by Evgeny Yevtushenko,
dedicated to Bella Akhmadulina (1957).
In her youth, Bella Akhmadulina married the poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko.
Marriages of poets, alas, are rarely strong. But the history of their relationship, the strength of their experiences, gave rise to several beautiful poems.
I'm so simple and gentle
conjured aside
and then something was formed,
reminding of me...
Akhmadulina’s first poetry book, “String,” was published in 1962.
No matter which edge I surrender to
For catching thoughts, for wasting days, -
I always play the same game
And I have a lot of fun in it.
In 1964, Bella Akhmadulina played the role of a Journalist in Vasily Shukshin’s film “There Lives Such a Guy.”
What news is on your calendar?
But what do I care about them anyway -
and in January I live as in September,
persistently and rabidly.
Bella Akhmadulina's second husband was the writer Yuri Nagibin. A master of words, a successful film playwright, he left many lines about Akhmadulina in his incredible “Diary”, after which he died.
What's the use of searching with fire during the day?
last year's snow, wind in the field?
But someone has to stand like that
all possible life - and share.
Bella Akhmadulina's subtle, gentle, filigree lyrics are combined in her life with the signing of open letters - in defense of writers A. Sinyavsky and Y. Daniel, Lev Kopelev, Georgy Vladimov, academician A.D. Sakharov, human rights activist A. Ginzburg, participation in the MetrOpol almanac...
How kind, who loves, how huge,
How sighted to the meaning of beauty!..
In the mid-1970s, Bella Akhmadulina married the famous theater artist Boris Messerer. The married couple was inseparable until the death of Bella Akhatovna.
Aphorism from Bella Akhmadulina:
Let us be partial to our friends,
Let us think that they are beautiful.
The extreme of glory remains: the funeral feast...
Bella Akhmadulina, a free person, eventually received state recognition. She is a laureate of the State Prize, awarded the Order of Friendship of Peoples, the Order of Merit for the Fatherland.
Oh, let my irreversible ashes
I’ll dream about myself or I’ll be in reality -
God forbid I should mourn my friends!
I'll survive the rest.

Creation
For Akhmadulina, poetry is revelation itself, a meeting of the poet’s inner world with the world of new (tape recorder, airplane, traffic light) and traditional (candle, friend’s house) objects. For her poetry, everything - even any little thing - can serve as an impulse, inspire a bold fantasy that gives birth to daring images, fantastic, timeless events; everything can become spiritualized, symbolic, like any natural phenomenon (“The Tale of the Rain”, 1964). Akhmadulina expands her vocabulary and syntax, turning to archaic elements of speech, which she interweaves with modern colloquial language.

Reader:
All you have to do is have a candle, a simple wax candle, and the age-old old-fashionedness will become fresh in your memory. And your pen will rush to that ornate, reasonable and intricate letter, and goodness will fall on your soul. You are already thinking about friends more and more often in the old way. and you will deal with the stearic stalactite with tenderness in your eyes. And Pushkin looks tenderly, and the night has passed, and the candles go out, and the tender taste of his native speech cools his lips so cleanly.
Presenter 1: Bella Akhatovna Akhmadulina entered Russian literature in the 60s of the twentieth century. This was the time of flowering of Soviet poetry, when a new generation of poets appeared - the “sixties”. Young poets: Andrei Voznesensky, Robert Rozhdestvensky, Evgeny Yevtushenko and Bulat Okudzhava, in close collaboration, created works that aroused great interest among readers and wide controversy in the press. They often performed poetry readings on the stage. Now it’s hard to believe that poets reading their poems from the stage filled concert halls and stadiums. This poetic brotherhood played an important role in the fate of Akhmadulina.

Reader:
Again in nature the color of the greenery changes, it is rough and the figure of a porcini mushroom rises arrogantly. And this garden represents all the heavens and all the forests, and my choice blesses only three beloved faces. In the light of the lamp the blind body of the moth dies, and the fingers are stained with gold and the hand is disdainful of it. Oh, Lord, how great is the peace in my soul this summer. So the rainbow's excess of color does not tell it to wish for anything else. Thus, a complete circle is contained within itself, and the needlessness of an extra touch is unenviable and ridiculous.
Presenter 2: In 1959, Akhmadulina was expelled from the institute for refusing to participate in a campaign directed against Boris Pasternak, but was then reinstated. In 1960 she graduated from the Literary Institute with an excellent grade for her thesis.

Reader:
That month of May, that month of mine, there was such lightness in me and, spreading over the ground, the airiness of the weather attracted me. I was so generous, generous in the happy anticipation of singing, and with the frivolity of a goldfinch I dipped feathers into the air. But, thank God, my gaze has become more penetrating and stricter, and every breath and every takeoff costs me more and more.

Presenter 1: She began very loudly, in Komsomol style, surrounded by her friends-tribunes: Zhenya Yevtushenko, Andryusha Voznesensky, Bulat Okudzhava, Robert Rozhdestvensky... Like a forged rose made of bronze, she lived unique, incomparable, incomparable with anyone, and yet slightly exhausted by her own glory. Sincerely embarrassed by fame, she inspired readers:
Reader:
I’m a small person, I’m a twin to everyone who is there, I sleep while the train goes by, my nondescript face falling on my bag. I didn’t have any extra luck, thank God, it didn’t happen to me to be more deserved or richer than all my neighbors on earth. Flesh of the flesh of my fellow citizens, it’s good that in their long line of shops, cinemas, and train stations, I’m the last one standing at the cash register - behind the dashing boy and the old woman in a down scarf, merging with them, like a word and a word in my and their language .
Presenter 2: The first collection of poems by Bella Akhmadulina “String” was published in 1962. This was followed by the poetry collections “Chills” (1968), “Music Lessons” (1970), “Poems” (1975), “Blizzard” (1977), “Candle” (1977), “The Secret” (1983), “The Garden” (1989) and others.

But she was especially successful in translating Georgian poets; she had warm, friendly relations with many of them. Memories of Georgia warmed her soul.
Reader:“Probably every person has a secret and favorite space on earth, which he rarely visits, but always remembers and often sees in his dreams. A person lives at home, in his homeland, where he should live; goes about his business, gets tired and at night, before falling asleep, smiles in the dark and thinks: “now this is impossible, but someday I will go there again... This is how I think about Georgia, and at night I dream about Georgian speech...”.

The poem "I've been dead so many times..."
Presenter 2: Another facet of Bella Akhmadulina’s talent is revealed by her memoirs and essays.

Reader:
This year is my path along the abyss. And if I didn't die, it was because someone always prayed for me. Everything is at random, everything is out of place, the reproach of the luminaries became terrible for me, but - yesterday! But - Bulat! But he gave me a key! Yes Yes! Yesterday, when I came here, Bulat gave me a key. This key is for me for magic, and I will give it to others. It’s hard for me to be middle-aged and know that I can’t be old. But - my golden key, And Bulat gave it.... And now everything will go smoothly, and I will begin to live for tears, for rhymes, Not in vain - yesterday, not in vain - Bulat, not in vain he gave me a key!
Presenter 1: In her generation there were poets at least no less powerful - Novella Matveeva, Yunna Moritz, Nonna Slepakova - but they knew Akhmadulina better than anyone, although they would hardly have quoted at least one of her poems by heart. But her love lyrics are amazing. In passion, in poems on the verge of confession, she continued the line of Marina Tsvetaeva and Anna Akhmatova. From Tsvetaeva, Akhmadullina learned such Russian speech that she becomes tongue-tied under pressure. That's why her poems are difficult to read.
The poem "Oh my shy hero..." sounds

Vasily Aksenov also described her in his novels.

Presenter 1: Akhmadulina was the first wife of Yevgeny Yevtushenko, and later the wife of Yuri Nagibin.

Reader:
I came and said: just as it’s easy for today’s snow to fly from heaven to please February, so it’s easy for me to climb onto the stage to please you. Don't believe me when I say this. Oh, I’m no stranger, it’s not the first time, it’s not new for me to take the attention of your eyes into my skin, like a burn. My voice, like snow, falls at your feet, and it will die like snow and turn into dirt. I can't! No forces! I reject the fate of appearing on the platform from a hospital sheet. What a frost in the forehead! What a horror in the shoulder blades! Oh, someone come and stretch out the time! Along the edge of fatality, along the edge of the rope - a dancer, so dance until you break. I know that I will die, but I will wake up properly. It was like this every time. That's how it will be this time. …. When I wake up from the vain risk, I don’t know why I should reduce myself to nothing, but someone will say: she was an artist, and someone will say: she was a poet. The larynx is exhausted by the bleeding of speech, but my leap from the darkness of the wings is joyful. The features of your beautiful faces merge into one face of people, more and more clearly and sharply. I will turn the sluggishness of the gesture into a bow. I don’t regret my words or my torment at all. Will they be enough for you for a little bliss? I don’t ask forever - but only for a moment, for a moment.

Presenter 2: Akhmadulina died on the evening of November 29, 2010 in an ambulance. According to the poetess's husband Boris Messerer, death was due to a cardiovascular crisis.
Presenter 1: Akhmadulina’s poetry has always been strong in its grace, sophistication, ornate inventiveness, giving rise to thoughts of the sublime in the soul. And, probably, it is no coincidence that in our Russian literature Bella Akhmadulina will forever remain a symbol of the 60s of the twentieth century. And all because modernity is perfectly combined with classical femininity: graceful, tender and crafty.
Presenter 1: Bella Akhmadulina was the most beautiful poet of her time. The most helpless and the most victorious. For those who loved and did not love her, she was equally significant and dear. Now they don't make things like that.
The romance “On my street...” sounds.
The script was prepared by the head. Methodological and bibliographic department of E. V. Pinina.

For my friends, the slow departure of that darkness outside the windows is pleasing. My friends’ businesses are neglected, there is no music or singing in their houses, and only, as before, Degas’s blue girls trim their feathers. Well, well, well, let fear not wake you, defenseless, in the middle of this night. A mysterious passion for betrayal, my friends, clouds your eyes. Oh loneliness, how cool your character is! Shining with an iron compass, how coldly you close the circle, not heeding useless assurances. So call me and reward me! Your darling, caressed by you, I will console myself, leaning against your chest, I will wash myself with your blue cold. Let me stand on tiptoe in your forest, at the other end of a slow gesture, find foliage, and bring it to your face, and feel orphanhood as bliss. Grant me the silence of your libraries, your concerts, strict motives, and - wise one - I will forget those who have died or are still alive. And I will learn wisdom and sadness, objects will entrust their secret meaning to me. Nature, leaning against my shoulders, will reveal its childhood secrets. And then - from tears, from darkness, from the poor ignorance of my former friends, beautiful features will appear and dissolve again. 1959
