Galich (Ginzburg) Alexander Arkadevich, автор

Galich Alexander Arkadyevich is a poet, screenwriter, playwright, author and performer of his own songs. Galich is a literary pseudonym made up of the letters of one’s own last name, first name and patronymic.

Alexander Ginzburg was born on October 19, 1918 in Yekaterinoslav (now Dnepropetrovsk) into an intelligent Jewish family. Father - Aron Samoilovich Ginzburg, economist, mother - Fanny Borisovna Veksler, worked at the conservatory. Grandfather, Samuel Ginzburg, was a famous pediatrician in the city. In 1920, Galich's family moved to Sevastopol. In 1923 they moved to Moscow.

The first publication was the poem “The World in a Horn” (Pionerskaya Pravda. 1932. May 23, signed by Alexander Ginzburg). After ninth grade, Galich almost simultaneously entered the Literary Institute. A. M. Gorky and the Opera and Drama Studio of K. S. Stanislavsky, which became Stanislavsky’s last course. He soon left the Literary Institute, and three years later he left the Opera and Drama Studio. He moved to the Theater-Studio of A. N. Arbuzov and V. N. Pluchek (1939). In February 1940, the studio debuted with the play “City at Dawn” with collective authorship. One of the authors of the play was Galich. This was his debut in drama.

When the war began, Galich was drafted into the army. But the medical commission discovered he had a congenital heart defect and released him from service. Galich got a job in a geological exploration party. In Grozny, he ended up in a theater where he worked until December 1941. From here Galich left for Tashkent, where Arbuzov began to form a theater group from his former studio students.

In the early period of his work, Galich wrote several plays for the theater - “Boys Street” (1946), “Taimyr is calling you” (co-authored with K. F. Isaev) (1948, filmed in 1970), “The Paths We Choose "(or "Under a Lucky Star", 1954), "March" (or "An Hour Before Dawn", 1957), "The Steamboat's Name is 'Eaglet'" (1958), "How Much Does a Man Need", as well as film scripts “True Friends” (1954) (together with K. F. Isaev), “On the Seven Winds” (1962), “Give me a book of complaints” (1964), “State criminal” (1964), “The Third Youth” (1965) , “Wave Runner” (1967).

The play "Sailor's Silence", written in 1958 for the then opening Sovremennik Theater, was banned for production in the USSR and was first staged only in 1988 by O. Tabakov.

Since the late 1950s. Galich begins to compose songs, performing them to his own accompaniment on a seven-string guitar. Starting to some extent from the romance tradition and the art of A. N. Vertinsky, Galich became one of the most prominent representatives of the genre of Russian art song (along with V. S. Vysotsky and B. Sh. Okudzhava), which was soon developed by bards and which With the advent of tape recorders, it gained enormous popularity. Galich formed his own direction in this genre.

His songs became increasingly deeper and politically acute, which led to a conflict with the authorities. Galich was prohibited from giving public concerts. They didn’t print it and didn’t allow the record to be released. In essence, it was a ban on any professional activity and work. He performed his songs in apartments, at so-called home concerts, which earned him very little money; his songs were distributed and passed on to each other in tape recordings, thanks to which he became increasingly popular, and which were confiscated during searches.

On March 7, 1968, a festival of art songs was held in the Akademgorodok of Novosibirsk, held by the club “Under the Integral”. The festival featured the only public concert of Alexander Galich in the USSR, including the performance of the song “In Memory of Pasternak.” In 1969, a book of his songs was published abroad by the Posev publishing house. This was the reason for his exclusion from the Writers' Union (1971) and the Cinematographers' Union and the Literary Fund (1972). The play “Sailor's Silence” (1957) was banned, persecution in the press, publications in the official press stopped (1968, for participation in the Bards Festival in Novosibirsk).

In 1974, Galich was forced to emigrate. On October 22, 1974, by a decree of Glavlit, in agreement with the Central Committee of the CPSU, all of his previously published works were banned in the USSR.

His first refuge abroad was Norway, then he moved to Munich, where he worked for Radio Liberty. Then Galich settled in Paris, where he died on December 15, 1977, allegedly from electric shock from radio equipment. There are different versions of his death, the most common being a secret murder by agents of the Soviet secret services.

Alexander Galich is buried in Paris at the Russian cemetery of Sainte-Genevieve-des-Bois.
