BELYAEV Alexander Romanovich (1884-1942) - a prominent writer, one of the founders and classics of Soviet science fiction literature; author of the works that made up the golden fund of Russian science fiction and children's literature - "Professor Dowell's Head", "Amphibian Man", "Ariel" and many others. others

Life and work of B. many articles, including - book. B.V. Lyapunov "Alexander Belyaev" (For more details, see the bibliographic decree "Alexander Belyaev". Bibliography. 1997. # 2. P. 64-71), his novels and short stories are regularly reprinted.

B.'s critical articles also played an important role during the formation of Soviet science fiction literature; in a number of publications (in particular, in the article "Let's Create Soviet Science Fiction") the writer tried to formulate the meaning and artistic functions of science fiction in the new society; defending the “literature of the dream” carefully eradicated by the socialist realist ideology, B. sadly wrote in the famous article “Cinderella”: “The fate of Soviet science fiction is similar to the fate of the fairy-tale Cinderella - both have a double life: a brilliant trip to the ball and the dull existence of an unloved stepdaughter sitting in shabby dress, in a dark corner of the kitchen" (1938); one of the first to raise issues and illustrations of science fiction works (art. "Illustration in Science Fiction"); at the same time, he often considered NF from the point of view of popularizing scientific knowledge, which, however, does not detract from the importance of B.'s critical speeches in a difficult period in the history of Soviet literature.

"A science fiction work must meet all the requirements that apply to fiction. But beyond that, the author of a science fiction work has an additional burden: he must master the scientific material and skillfully present it."

"Science fiction is the most difficult genre. The genre is very laborious and requires a lot of preliminary preparation for each work"

A. Belyaev. B. Lyapunov "Alexander Belyaev"

"Some invent and calculate, others present these works more clearly, and still others devote novels to them. All are necessary, all are precious!"

K. Tsiolkovsky, B. Lyapunov "Alexander Belyaev"

"What Belyaev has done gives him an indisputable right to one of the first places in world science fiction."

L. Borisov. B. Lyapunov "Alexander Belyaev"

"Among the authors of that era, the most significant, in my opinion, is A. Belyaev. When I was in the Mauthausen concentration camp, captured Soviet comrades told me about many novels by this author, which I could not get later. Belyaev's novels I read "I find them just wonderful. The scientific thought is excellent, the story is very well written and the main science fiction themes are well developed. Personally, I would just devour Belyaev's books that I have not read if I found them. I hope that what was not included in the three will be republished volumes of his collected works. Belyaev is certainly one of the greatest science fiction writers."

Jacques Bergier, A. Britikov "Russian Soviet Science Fiction Novel"

He felt like a forgotten writer, forgotten by his colleagues, misunderstood by critics. But at the same time, he considered himself by no means great, he said that the images often fail, the language is not always rich. The plot - that's what he felt his power over."

V. Azarov. B. Lyapunov "Alexander Belyaev"

"Belyaev Alexander Romanovich, born in 1884. As a child, he was fond of Jules Verne. He traveled around the world without leaving his room. He dreamed of flying. He threw himself from the roof on a large open umbrella, on a parachute made of sheets, paying hefty bruises.

Later he made a glider, flew an airplane of one of the first designs of Eng. Gakkel, abroad - on a seaplane. Loved to invent. At the age of 16-18 he invented a stereoscopic projection lamp. After 20 years, the same was invented in America.

He received a higher legal education, a musical education in the violin class. Studied art history, traveled to Italy to study the Renaissance. Was in Switzerland, Germany, Austria, in the south of France. In his student years, he earned one time by playing in the orchestra of the Truzzi circus. In 1905, as a student, he built barricades on the squares of Moscow. He kept a diary, recording the events of the armed uprising. Already during the advocacy, he spoke on political matters, was subjected to searches. The diary almost burned down. He devoted at least 15 years to the theater. He directed and played in the provinces and for several seasons in Moscow (in the Sergiev People's House). He was a barrister, but the advocacy - formalism and casuistry of the royal court - did not satisfy. He began working in provincial newspapers around 1911-1912, was a music and theater critic. Collaborated in the children's magazine "Protalinka" in Moscow. From 1916 to 1922 he was seriously ill with bone tuberculosis of the vertebrae. Since 1923, he served in Moscow in the NKPS and NIS and at the same time began to write stories in science fiction terms. Collaborated in the journals "World Pathfinder", "Struggle of the Worlds", "Knowledge is Power", "Nature and People", etc. Separate publications were published "Amphibian Man", "Professor Dowell's Head", "Struggle on the Air", "Island Lost Ships", "Lord of the World", "Jump into Nothing". More than 200 printed sheets were written in total.

B. Lyapunov "Alexander Belyaev". A. R. Belyaev. About fantasy

"For all its originality, science fiction is part of Soviet literature, and the tasks of Soviet literature are participation in socialist construction. Since science and technology are treated in science fiction, the conclusion naturally arises that our science fiction should be one of the means of agitation and propaganda of science and technology, should also expand scientific knowledge, attract the interest of readers and young people in particular to scientific and technical problems.

Science fiction cannot be turned into a boring popular-science book, into a non-scientific-literary bastard. A sci-fi novel, a short story should be equal works of art.

It is necessary to ensure that, having become interested in a pronounced scientific problem, the reader of a science fiction work would himself undertake to study the literature related to this issue, and perhaps he himself would engage in the scientific, technical development of this problem. And from this point of view, the best work of science fiction should be recognized as one that throws a new fruitful idea into the world, contributes to the emergence of a new inventor, a new scientist.

A writer working in the field of science fiction must himself be so scientifically educated that he can not only understand what the scientist is working on, but also, on this basis, be able to anticipate such consequences and possibilities that are sometimes unclear even to the scientist himself.

Soviet social science fiction, or, more precisely, the social part of Soviet science fiction works, must have the same reliable scientific justification as the scientific and technical part.

And above this difficulty - the image of the social future - lies an even greater one - showing the man of the future. This is the task that must be solved for the Soviet writer working in the field of science fiction.

"Let's Create Soviet Science Fiction" - 1938

On March 4 (16), 1884, the science fiction writer Alexander Romanovich Belyaev, the "Soviet Jules Verne", the founder of Soviet science fiction, as they call him now, was born in Smolensk.

1895-1901 - study at the Smolensk Theological Seminary
“My brother and I decided to travel to the center of the Earth. We moved tables, chairs, beds, covered them with blankets, sheets, stocked up on an oil lantern and went deep into the mysterious depths of the Earth. And immediately the prosaic tables and chairs disappeared. We saw only caves and abysses, rocks and underground waterfalls as they were portrayed by wonderful pictures: creepy and at the same time somehow cozy.And the heart sank from this sweet horror.

Later, Wells came with the nightmares of "The Struggle of the Worlds", This world was no longer so comfortable ... "

"Illustrations in Science Fiction"


In the seminary, he was "famous for performing at evenings with vivid artistic recitation of poems. Thin, slender, with dark hair, smoothly combed, Alexander had excellent acting skills, good appearance, high culture of speech, great musicality, a bright temperament and an amazing art of reincarnation, in particular mimic talent was strong." This is how he was remembered by the high school students, helping in the production of the fantastic fairy tale play "Three years, three days, three minutes." Taking the plot of a fairy tale as a basis, Belyaev, as a director, managed to "enrich it with many mise-en-scenes, bloom with bright colors, saturate it with music and singing. His fantasy knew no bounds!".

S. Yakovlev V. Griboyedov "A. Belyaev-artist"


1901-1906 - studying at the Demidov Lyceum in Yaroslavl and the Musical Conservatory in the violin class. 1913 - travel to Italy, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland. “A few jumps, and we have already completely separated from the water. The last time the boats touched with their rear edge the ridge of a large wave. And immediately rose above the water several fathoms.

The sea is sinking below us. The houses surrounding the bay do not seem white, but red, because from above we see only their tiled roofs. The surf stretches like a white thread near the shore ...

Behind us is Italian Ventimiglia, ahead of us is French Nice, and in the middle is the small principality of Monaco ... "

"Hydroplane ride"


"Amazing people, these Italians! They know how to combine slovenliness with a deep understanding of beauty, greed - with kindness, petty passions - with a truly great impulse of the soul ..."

O. Orlov "Alexander Belyaev"


1914 - "Grandma Moira"
1916-1922 - “Illness once laid me in a plaster bed for three and a half years. This period of illness was accompanied by paralysis of the lower half of the body. I didn't feel at all... That's when I changed my mind and re-felt everything that a "head without a body" can experience.

“Wagner set himself the task of capturing more knowledge than the human brain can contain. And the professor achieved this due to the fact that, without needing rest and sleep, he could work almost twenty-four hours a day. In addition, through training, he developed the ability to think with both halves of the brain independently of one another. His eyes also moved independently of each other, and Wagner could thus observe several phenomena at once. He could write simultaneously with his right and left hand ... "

"The first fish among people and the first man among fish, Ichthyander could not help but feel lonely. But if other people followed him into the ocean, life would be completely different. Then people would easily defeat the powerful element - water. More than seven tenths of the earth's surface is the expanse of a water desert. But this desert, with its inexhaustible supply of food and industrial raw materials, could accommodate millions, billions of people. Billions of people without crowding and crowding could accommodate in the ocean. "

“Jack London, due to the special conditions of the labor movement in America, had little faith in the success of the working class. Or rather, he believed in the final victory of the workers, but he endured the onset of this in the distant future. In the novel The Iron Heel, the author also outlines the dates for this future: in his opinion, at least three hundred years must pass before the “Era of Brotherhood” comes in. But before the onset of the “Era of Brotherhood”, the workers still have to go through a terrible period of unheard of exploitation, through the era of the “Iron Heel” of capitalism ... A short-sighted and pessimistic “prophet "and the politician turned out to be Jack London in his fantasy novel."

"How it happened, the horse could not tell. But Santa Anna himself reproduced the picture. Papelas apparently managed to catch the half-strangled Vianto. He sat on the horse. But Vianto could not bear such an insult and preferred to die along with the enemy. He rushed to the cliff and rolled down down. The horse was lucky: she escaped with a bruise, and the man ... "

"A mathematician, physicist, astronomer, mechanic, biologist, sociologist, inventor, "patriarch of astronomy", Tsiolkovsky thinks in astronomical numbers, counts in millions, billions, billions. Infinity does not suit him. He turns his gaze to the past of our solar system and calmly says, as about the age of their own children: "It took thirty-one billion years for the birth of all the planets. The Earth separated from the Sun two billion years ago, and our Moon was born by the Earth less than a billion years ago. "A completely newborn baby! What does a billion mean if Tsiolkovsky sometimes deals with numbers for which, in his own words," in order to write them , the whole universe would not be enough!"

But such a zoo is not only an interesting and healthy spectacle, especially in Murmansk, which is so poor in spectacles. A lot of scientific and educational work can be carried out in the zoo"

"Our polar scientists-enthusiasts will be heated by icy polar winds... The wind that caused us so many troubles, accidents, losses, will serve us.

It will spread knowledge and interest in the great task of the 20th century more than other popular stories, not excluding even foreign ones ... As for dedicating it to me, I consider it your courtesy and an honor for myself.

"What attracted him to Russia? An experiment! A great experiment in the restructuring of the world, the old civilization, culture, the creation of a new social system. This daring attempt to put into practice what had been the subject of utopias for centuries. But weren't utopias his forte? the works that the whole world was reading, did not draw pictures of the future, pictures of world wars, even the cosmic struggle of the worlds, the collapse of the old civilization, the birth of a new one, unprecedented technical progress?.. And suddenly these people - the Bolsheviks - announced that it was they who would rebuild the world ! This hurt him as a professional, could not help but worry. "

"He (the young reader) loves science fiction, is fond of science fiction novels, hunts for them, reads and rereads them. He forgives the author's inevitable mistakes and growing pains - he is more tolerant and patient than critics and other readers of this genre. He, - and so far only he - morally supports the author on the difficult, responsible path of creating genuine Soviet science fiction.

"I sort through his books and pamphlets, published by him at his own expense in the provincial Kaluga printing house, his letters, drafts of his manuscripts, in which he packed the books he sent, his portraits and think about this man who lived such a difficult and at the same time interesting He knew the solar system better than we know our city, mentally lived in interplanetary spaces, felt like a "Citizen of the Universe..."

"I made a great mistake in my politics, that I allowed Lomonosov to become a professor." Schumacher's son-in-law Gaubert said: "Do we really need a dozen Lomonosovs? And one is a burden to us ..." Lomonosov was not mistaken in that he failed to accomplish everything "that he did for the good of the fatherland." But his sad thoughts that “all my useful intentions will disappear with me” did not materialize: he managed to put many useful intentions into practice ... And only today this exceptional person finds himself fully appreciated.

"Mikhail Lomonosov"


"A child-loving father, a kind person, ready to help all those in need, and at the same time a quick-tempered eccentric," a roaring lion ", instilling fear in everyone who knew him little. Almost rude from extreme shyness and extraordinary excitement in front of a new person."

"Thirteen years ago I wrote the story 'Professor Dowell's Head' on the subject of the reanimation of a human head cut off from a body...

For that time, the story in the form in which it was published was quite bold, and the author could be reproached for an unscientific approach to the topic. Since then the situation has changed. Huge advances have been made in the field of surgery. And I decided to rework my story into a novel, making it even more fantastic without breaking away from the scientific basis.

"They say that writers, especially great ones, pay little attention to science fiction, considering it second-class literature. This is not true. Literature is always of the same grade as the writer who created it.

But the demonstration of this future society, scientific, technical, cultural, domestic, economic perspectives are no less important than showing the class struggle. I take on the hardest."

"Jules Verne was and remains a brilliant, unsurpassed popularizer of science. His merits in this regard are colossal ... It can be said with confidence that bourgeois literature will not create a second Jules Verne. Proof of this can be the work of G. Wells.

“In the literary circle that I lead, most of the circle members are students. There are capable young men among them.

"-Listen, Ariel, listen carefully. Now you can do what no other person can do. You can fly. And in order to fly, you only need to wish it.

Belyaev Alexander Romanovich(1884 - 1942)

A. Belyaev was born in Smolensk, in the family of a priest, in which an atmosphere of extreme piety reigned. Parents were deeply religious people, inclined to give charity to poor relatives and pilgrims, which is why there were always a lot of people in the house.

There were two more children in the family: sister Nina died in childhood from sarcoma; brother Vasily, being a student at a veterinary institute, drowned while riding a boat. As a child, Alexander grew up a fidget, loved all kinds of practical jokes, jokes; the consequence of one of his pranks was a serious eye injury with further damage to vision. In games and hobbies, the boy was unbridled, so his parents tried to accustom him to order and a serious attitude to business.

At the request of his father, Alexander was sent to study at the theological seminary, which he graduated in 1901, but the young man refused to continue his religious education and entered the Demidov Lyceum in Yaroslavl, intending to become a lawyer. Soon his father died, the family's funds were limited, there was not enough money for education. I had to look for an opportunity to earn money - Alexander gave lessons, painted scenery for the theater, played the violin in the circus orchestra.

A. Belyaev was fond of nature. From an early age, he was attracted to music; he independently learned to play the violin, the piano, he could selflessly play music for hours. Another "fun" was photography, and in the most eccentric version - shooting "horror photographs" (this was the picture he took of "a human head on a platter in blue tones"). The young man also dreamed of flying: he tried to take off, tying brooms to his hands, jumped from the roof with an umbrella, and finally took to the air in a small airplane.

A significant part of the young man's life turned out to be connected with the theater, which he loved from childhood. He himself could act as a playwright, and a director, and an actor. The home theater of the Belyaevs in Smolensk was widely known, touring not only around the city, but also in its environs. Once, during the arrival in Smolensk of the capital's troupe under the direction of Stanislavsky, A. Belyaev managed to replace the sick artist - instead of playing in several performances. The success was complete, K. Stanislavsky even offered A. Belyaev to stay in the troupe, but for some unknown reason he refused.

In the life of A. Belyaev, mystical coincidences played a certain role. One incident turned out to be tragic: once, while visiting his uncle, the future writer, in the company of relatives, went for a boat ride. Only brother Vasya did not go with them.

Before getting into the boat, Alexander grabbed a piece of clay from both sides, from which he began to sculpt a head - random features turned out to be exceptionally similar to the face of his brother who remained on the shore, but the expression on his face turned out to be somehow frozen, inanimate. Out of annoyance, Alexander threw the cast into the water, and at the same moment he felt uneasy. He hurried ashore, claiming that something had happened to Vasya. The rest returned with him. At the house, a tearful aunt reported that Vasya drowned, and as it turned out, this happened at the very moment when the cast was thrown into the water. What happened made a strange and terrible impression on everyone. After graduating from the Demidov Lyceum, A. Belyaev received the position of a private attorney in Smolensk, and soon gained fame as a good lawyer. He has a regular clientele. His material resources also grew: he was able to rent and furnish a good apartment, acquire a good collection of paintings, and collect a large library. Having finished any business, he went to travel abroad; traveled to France, Italy, visited Venice.

At the age of thirty-five, A. Belyaev fell ill with pleurisy. The treatment was unsuccessful - he developed paralysis of the legs and tuberculosis of the spine. The illness was very difficult. The young wife left him, saying that she did not get married to take care of her sick husband. In search of specialists who could help him, A. Belyaev, with his mother and old nanny, ended up in Yalta. There, in the hospital, he began to write poetry. Gradually there was some improvement.

To live, it was necessary to work. First, A. Belyaev became a teacher in an orphanage, then he got a job as an inspector of the criminal investigation department - he organized a photo laboratory there, later he had to go to the library. Life in Yalta was very difficult, and with the help of acquaintances, A. Belyaev moved with his family to Moscow, got a job as a legal adviser. In his spare time, he tried to engage in literature - as a result, his first story, Professor Dowell's Head (1925), began to be published in the newspaper "Beep" with the continuation. The story was later accepted by World Pathfinder magazine. The publication entailed the establishment of close ties, and then collaboration with the magazines "World Pathfinder" and "Around the World". 4 A. Belyaev lived in Moscow until 1928; during this time, he wrote "The Island of Lost Ships", "The Last Man from Atlantis", "Amphibian Man", "Struggle on the Air", a collection of stories was published. The author wrote not only under his own name, but also under the pseudonyms A. Rom and Arbel.

In 1928, A. Belyaev and his family moved to Leningrad, and since then he has been exclusively engaged in literature, professionally. This is how "Lord of the World", "Underwater Farmers", "Wonderful Eye", stories from the series "Professor Wagner's Inventions" appeared. They were printed mainly in Moscow publishing houses. However, soon the disease again made itself felt, and I had to move from rainy Leningrad to sunny Kyiv. Living conditions in Kyiv turned out to be better, but there were obstacles for creativity - manuscripts were accepted there only in Ukrainian, so they had to be sent to Moscow or Leningrad.

The year 1930 turned out to be very difficult for the writer: his six-year-old daughter died of meningitis, the second one fell ill with rickets, and soon his own illness (spondylitis) worsened. As a result, in 1931 the family returned to Leningrad: ignorance of the Ukrainian language made life in Kyiv unbearable. Constant domestic turmoil prevented writing, and yet A. Belyaev creates in these years the play "Alchemists ...", the novel "Jump into Nothing".

In addition to everyday problems and health problems, big problems also arose with the publication of works: editors ruthlessly reduced and reworked them. At that time, technological progress was considered a particularly important topic in the literature. For the sake of this, the story "Star of the KEC", according to the memoirs of the writer's daughter, "was so shortened that it turned ... into a technical reference book." Only much later was it possible to restore and then enlarge the original author's text.

The work of A. Belyaev is uneven to a certain extent: his early works are more interesting than his later ones; ethical questions often turn out to be more entertaining than the most original scientific and technical hypotheses, and romantic pathos is more attractive than a detective story. The writer was keenly interested in the question of the human psyche: the functioning of the brain, its connection with the body, with the life of the soul, spirit. Can the brain think outside the body? Is a brain transplant possible? What consequences can anabiosis and its widespread use entail? Are there limits to the possibility of suggestion? What about genetic engineering? An attempt to solve these problems is devoted to the novels "Professor Dowell's Head", "Lord of the World", "The Man Who Lost Face", the story "The Man Who Doesn't Sleep", "Hoyti-Toyti". A kind of continuation of these reflections were novels-hypotheses that place a person in different environments of existence: the ocean ("Amphibian Man"), the air ("Ariel"). Behind all these works is the passionate desire of the disabled writer to challenge the physical limitations of the boundless human spirit, a hymn to unlimited freedom and the hope that such freedom makes a person better, more moral, nobler.

"Unfounded fantasies that distract from the actual tasks of socialist construction" were sharply criticized by the authorities, which in the late period of creativity forced A. Belyaev to create works in which the main thing is a list of inventions, discoveries, technical achievements and the glorification of the communist future ("Underground farmers", "Under the sky of the Arctic", "Wonderful eye", etc.).

6 In artistic terms, these works are of little interest. It is no coincidence that the writer's true testament was his last novel in 1941 - "Ariel". It echoes the well-known novel by A. Green "The Shining World", in some way continuing it and, at the same time, refuting it. The hero of the novel is endowed with the ability to fly without any scientific justification for this talent on the part of the author. The image of Ariel is the best achievement of the writer, in which the author's faith in the unlimited creative possibilities of man was realized in detail. Towards the end of his life, A. Belyaev abandoned the technical and social problems imposed on him and fully surrendered to what always attracted him: a romantic description of a person overcoming "earthly gravity".

Shortly before the war, the writer underwent another operation, so he refused the offer to evacuate when the war began. The city of Pushkin (a suburb of Leningrad), where A. Belyaev and his family lived in recent years, was occupied. In January 1942, the writer died of starvation. The surviving wife and daughter of the writer were taken by the Germans to Poland.

The expression "The book is the source of knowledge" can be called the motto of the science fiction writer Alexander Romanovich Belyaev. The love of reading, the desire to learn new things, mastering new spaces, new areas of science, he carried through his whole life.

In those years when this photograph was taken, young Sasha Belyaev was attracted to distant lands, travels and adventures - everything that had nothing to do with everyday reality.

“A charming man with a wide range of interests and an inexhaustible sense of humor,” recalls V.V. Bylinskaya, who knew him in those years, “Alexander Belyaev united a circle of Smolensk youth around him, became the center of this small society.

A memorial plaque installed on the building where the editorial office of the Smolensky Vestnik was located.

“In his youth, my father liked to dress fashionably,” recalls the writer’s daughter Svetlana Alexandrovna, “if not to say, even with panache ...”

2009 marks the 125th anniversary of the birth of Alexander Romanovich Belyaev, a Soviet science fiction writer, one of the founders of science fiction literature, who has earned worldwide recognition. A lot has been written about Belyaev, but the years of his life in the city of Smolensk, where he was born and raised, are not fully reflected, moreover, mistakes are repeated in the texts that we correct using archival materials.

Alexander Belyaev was born on March 16 (new style) 1884 in a house on Bolshaya Odigitrievskaya Street (now Dokuchaev Street) in the family of the priest of the Odigitrievskaya Church Roman Petrovich Belyaev and his wife Nadezhda Vasilievna. In total, the family had three children: Vasily, Alexander and Nina.

The plot of land, according to the memoirs of the local historian A. N. Troitsky, consisted of a very picturesque garden, descending along a steep slope into a ravine going to the cathedral.

Alexander's parents were deeply religious people. And Sasha's interests from early childhood lay in a completely different plane: he was fascinated by travel, extraordinary adventures inspired by reading his beloved Jules Verne.

“My brother and I,” Alexander Romanovich recalled, decided to travel to the center of the Earth. They moved tables, chairs, beds, covered them with blankets, sheets, stocked up with an oil lantern and went deep into the mysterious bowels of the Earth. And immediately the prosaic tables and chairs were gone. We saw only caves and abysses, rocks and underground waterfalls as wonderful pictures depicted them: eerie and at the same time somehow cozy. And my heart sank from this sweet horror.

Later, Wells came with the nightmares of "The War of the Worlds". In this world, it was no longer so comfortable ... "

It is easy to imagine how much the boy’s imagination was excited by the event that happened on July 6, 1893: in the Lopatinsky Garden, a balloon with a gymnast sitting on a trapeze rose to a height of one kilometer, after which she jumped off the trapeze. The audience gasped in horror. But a parachute opened over the gymnast, and the girl landed safely.

The sight shocked Sasha so much that he immediately decided to experience the feeling of flying and jumped off the roof with an umbrella in his hands, then on a parachute made of a sheet. Both attempts brought very sensitive bruises. But Alexander Belyaev still managed to make his dream come true: his latest novel, Ariel, tells the story of a man who can fly like a bird.

But the time for carefree hobbies is over. By the will of his father, the boy was sent to a religious school. In publications about the writer, it is reported that he entered there at the age of six. But it's not.

The Smolensk Diocesan Gazette annually published official information about the students of the theological school and the seminary. And in No. 13 for 1895, there is a "List of students of the theological school, compiled by the school board after a year of testing at the end of the 1894/1895 academic year and approved by His Eminence on July 5, 1895 under No. 251." Among the students of the 1st grade: "Yakov Alekseev, Dmitry Almazov, Alexander Belyaev, Nikolai Vysotsky ..." At the end of the list it is indicated that these students are being transferred to the 2nd grade of the school. Thus, Alexander Belyaev was 11 years old in 1895. Therefore, he entered at the age of 10.

The school was located near the Avraamievsky Monastery, not far from the Belyaevs' estate, five minutes walk at a leisurely pace.

Classes were easy for him. In the same statements (No. 12 for 1898) a list of students of the fourth grade is given: “First category: Pavel Dyakonov, Alexander Belyaev, Nikolai Lebedev, Yakov Alekseev<...>completed the full course of the school and were awarded the transfer to the 1st class of the seminary.

That's when Alexander Belyaev becomes a seminarian - at the age of 14, and not at the 11th year, as indicated in the well-established biographical notes to the collected works of his works and in many other publications about the writer.

An expert on the local region, local historian SM. Yakovlev wrote: “The Smolensk Theological Seminary has existed for 190 years. It was founded in 1728 by the former rector of the Moscow Theological Academy, Bishop Gideon Vishnevsky ... "a man of the most learned and great rigor", classes were taught by highly educated teachers invited from Kyiv. The study of Latin, ancient Greek and Polish was compulsory.

In the seminary, Belyaev was famous not only for his success in his studies, but also for his "performances at evenings - reading poems."

In the early years of its existence, the Smolensk Seminary organized spectacular performances of spiritual content (mystery) for the residents of the city in order to strengthen moral and religious principles in the viewer, loyalty to Orthodoxy and the throne. Alexander Belyaev is their constant participant.

In the prefaces to several collections, biographers claim that Belyaev graduated from the seminary in 1901. This is another inaccuracy. Diocesan Gazette (Nos. 11-12 for 1904) provides an alphabetical list of graduates: Alexander Belyaev is among them.

After graduating from the seminary, contrary to the wishes of his father, who saw his son as his successor, Alexander entered the Demidov Lyceum in Yaroslavl (established in 1809 as a school on the initiative and at the expense of P. G. Demidov with a three-year term of study, this educational institution was reorganized in 1833 from the beginning to a lyceum with the same term of study, and in 1868 to a four-year legal lyceum with the rights of a university). In parallel, Alexander received a musical education in the violin class.

The unexpected death of his father in 1905 left the family without a livelihood. Alexander, in order to get money to pay for education, gave lessons, painted scenery for the theater, played the violin in the orchestra of the Truzzi circus. But grief does not come alone: ​​brother Vasily drowned in the Dnieper, and then sister Ninochka died. Alexander remained the only protector and support of his mother, therefore, after graduating from the Lyceum (1908), he returned to Smolensk.

It is known that in 1909 he worked as an assistant to a barrister. But the creative nature of Alexander Romanovich demanded a way out, and he became an active member of the Smolensk Society of Fine Arts Lovers, where he gave lectures, then a member of the board of the Smolensk Public Entertainment Club and a member of the board of the Symphony Society. During the summer months, theater troupes usually toured in Smolensk, mostly Basmanov. Belyaev writes reviews for Smolensky Vestnik on almost every performance that took place in the Lopatinsky Garden, and also acts as a music critic. Signed under the pseudonym "B-la-f". They published "Smolensk feuilletons" on the topic of the day.

Everyone who has read his works knows how sharply the writer responded to injustice. This quality manifested itself in the very first years of independent life and became the reason that in 1909 Alexander Belyaev was under police surveillance. Information is in the gendarmerie file "Diary of external observation, reports on the Smolensk organization of the party of socialist revolutionaries." The Belyaev case was started on December 30, 1908. In the report of Colonel N. G. Ivanenko for November 10, 1909, a list of persons belonging to a local organization led by a certain Karelin is presented. This list also contains the name of Alexander Romanovich Belyaev: “... assistant to a barrister, 32 years old (in fact, he was 25 years old. - Approx. Aut.), Nickname "Alive" (given in connection with the character. - Approx. auth.)". The report indicates that the suspects were searched on November 2, 1909. "Alive" appears in the diary of the Okhrana until the end of its maintenance (January 19, 1910).

We managed to find in the "Smolensky Vestnik" (over the same years) reports on several trials conducted by A. Belyaev as an assistant to a barrister. But one of them - dated October 23, 1909 - is of particular interest, since Belyaev spoke in the trial against the leader of the Socialist-Revolutionary Party. And on December 25, as reported in the newspaper, "... V. Karelin, arrested a month ago, was released from the Smolensk prison." It seems that this can be considered proof of how successfully Alexander Romanovich led the defense. In 1911, Belyaev won a major legal case against the timber merchant Skundin, for which he received a significant fee. He set aside this amount for a long-planned trip to Europe. True, it was possible to make the trip only two years later, as evidenced by the "Statement of foreign passports issued since March 1, 1913 by the Smolensk Governor": "... to hereditary honorary citizen, assistant barrister Alexander Romanovich Belyaev for No. 57."

In his autobiography, the writer writes about the purpose of this trip: “I studied history, art, went to Italy to study the Renaissance. I was in Switzerland, Germany, Austria, in the south of France. The trip became an invaluable source from which the writer drew the impressions he needed until the end of his days. After all, the action of most of his novels takes place "abroad". And the first trip turned out to be the only one.

Belyaev is not an idle tourist, but an inquisitive tester. The biographical note to the 9-volume collected works of the writer confirms this: “In 1913, there were not so many daredevils flying on Blériot and Farman aircraft - “whatnots” and “coffins”, as they were called then. However, Belyaev in Italy, in Ventimiglia, makes a seaplane flight.

Here is an excerpt from the description of this flight: “The sea below us goes lower and lower. The houses surrounding the bay do not seem white, but red, because from above we see only red roofs. The surf stretches like a white thread near the shore. Here is Cape Martin. The aviator waves his hand, we look in that direction, and the coast of the Riviera unfolds in front of us, as in a panorama.

Belyaev will then convey his feelings, in particular, in the story “The Man Who Does Not Sleep”: “Some kind of river appeared in the distance. The city is spread out on high coastal hills. On the right bank, the city was surrounded by ancient battlements of the Kremlin with high towers. A huge five-domed cathedral reigned over the entire city. - Dnieper! .. Smolensk! .. The airplane flew over the forest and smoothly landed on a good airfield.

During a trip to Italy, Belyaev climbed Mount Vesuvius and published an essay on the ascent in Smolensky Vestnik. In these notes, one can already feel the confident pen of not only a talented journalist, but also a future brilliant writer: “Suddenly, bushes began, and we found ourselves in front of a whole sea of ​​black solidified lava. The horses snored, kicked their feet, and they decided to step on the lava as if it were water. Finally, nervously, the horses jumped up onto the lava and walked at a pace. The lava rustled and broke off under the feet of the horses. The sun was setting. Below, the bay was already covered with a gray haze. There came a short gentle evening. On the mountain, the sun snatched out of the advancing darkness several houses, and they stood, as if heated by the internal fire of the crater. The proximity of the peak affected ... Vesuvius is a symbol, it is the god of southern Italy. Only here, sitting on this black lava, under which a deadly fire seethes somewhere below, does it become clear that the deification of the forces of nature reigning over a small man, just as defenseless, despite all the gains of culture, as he was thousands of years ago in blooming Pompeii.

And in the crater of the fire-breathing giant “...everything was filled with caustic, suffocating vapor. He then crawled along the black, uneven edges of the vent, corroded by moisture and ash, then flew up in a white ball, as if from a giant pipe of a steam locomotive. And at that moment, somewhere deep below, the darkness was illuminated, as if by a distant glow of a fire ... "

Alexander Romanovich's writing talent is manifested not only in descriptions of natural phenomena, he also understands people with their contradictions: “These Italians are amazing people! They know how to combine slovenliness with a deep understanding of beauty, greed with kindness, petty passions with a truly great impulse of the soul.

Everything seen, refracting through the prism of his perception, the writer will then reflect in the works.

Probably, it can be argued that the trip helped him finally decide on the final choice of profession. In 1913-1915, having parted with the legal profession, Alexander Romanovich worked in the editorial office of the Smolensky Vestnik newspaper, first as a secretary, then as an editor. Today, a memorial plaque has been installed on the building where the editorial office was located.

Only his craving for the theater has remained unrealized so far. From childhood, he staged home performances, in which he was an artist, a screenwriter, and a director, he played any role, even women's. Transformed instantly. They quickly learned about Belyaev's theater and began to invite friends to perform. In 1913, Belyaev, together with the beautiful Smolensk cellist Yu. N. Saburova, staged the fairy-tale opera The Sleeping Princess. Smolensky Vestnik (February 10, 1913) noted that the noisy great success of the performance “was created by the tireless energy, loving attitude and subtle understanding of the leaders Yu. put on an opera, even if it is for children, using only the resources of an educational institution.

About this side of the creative nature of Alexander Romanovich, a resident of Smolensk, SM, writes in his memoirs. Yakovlev: “The charming image of A. R. Belyaev has sunk into my soul ever since he helped us, the students of the gymnasium N. P. Evnevich, to put together with the students of the female gymnasium E. G. Sheshatka at one of our student evenings a wonderful fantastic play-tale "Three years, three days, three minutes". Taking the plot core of the fairy tale as a basis, A. R. Belyaev, as a director, managed to creatively refine it, enrich it with many interesting introductory scenes, color it with bright colors, saturate it with music and singing. His fantasy knew no bounds! He organically "embedded" his witty remarks, dialogues, crowd scenes, choral and choreographic numbers into the fabric of the fairy tale.<...>His data was excellent. He had a good appearance, a high culture of speech, great musicality, a bright temperament and an amazing art of disguise. His mimetic talent was especially strong in him, which can be easily judged by the numerous photographs of his masks preserved by the writer's daughter, Svetlana Alexandrovna, which unusually accurately and expressively convey the gamut of various states of the human psyche - indifference, curiosity, suspicion, fear, horror, bewilderment. , emotion, delight, sadness, etc.”

The first literary work of Alexander Romanovich - the play "Grandma Moira" - appears in 1914 in the Moscow magazine for children "Protalinka".

Visiting Moscow (which attracted and attracted him), Belyaev met with Konstantin Sergeevich Stanislavsky and even passed acting tests with him.

He's managed everything so far. The future promised success in undertakings. But the year 1915, tragic for A. Belyaev, came. A serious illness fell upon the young man: tuberculosis of the spine. His wife leaves him. Doctors recommend changing the climate, his mother and nanny transport him to Yalta. For six years, Alexander Belyaev was bedridden, three years of which he was in a plaster corset.

And what terrible years those were! The October Revolution, the Civil War, devastation ... Belyaev is saved only by reading a lot, especially translated fantastic literature; studies literature on medicine, biology, history; interested in new discoveries, achievements of science; learns foreign languages.

Only in 1922 did his condition improve somewhat. Helped, of course, the love and care of Margarita Konstantinovna Magnushevskaya, who became his second wife. They got married in 1922 before Christmas Lent, and on May 22, 1923 they registered their marriage at the registry office. After the marriage, “... I had,” Belyaev recalled, “to enter the office of the criminal investigation department, and in the state I am a junior policeman. I am a photographer who takes pictures of criminals, I am a lecturer who teaches courses in criminal and administrative law and a "private" legal adviser. Despite all this, you have to starve.”

A year later, Alexander Romanovich's old dream comes true - he and his wife move to Moscow. A happy accident helped: in Yalta, he met his old Smolensk acquaintance, Nina Yakovlevna Filippova, who invited Belyaev to go to Moscow, giving him two rooms in her large, spacious apartment. After the Filippovs moved to Leningrad, the Belyaevs had to vacate this apartment and settle in a damp room in the basement in Lyalin Lane. On March 15, 1924, a daughter, Lyudmila, was born in the Belyaev family.

Alexander Romanovich during these years worked in the People's Commissariat for Post and Telegraph as a planner, after some time as a legal adviser in the People's Commissariat for Education. And in the evenings he is engaged in literature.

1925 Belyaev is 41 years old. His short story "Professor Dowell's Head" was published on the pages of the World Pathfinder magazine. It's a story, not a novel. The first attempt at writing a science fiction writer. And the beginning of a new, creative life of Alexander Romanovich Belyaev. In the article “About my works”, Belyaev will later say: “I can report that the work “Professor Dowell's Head” is a work to a large extent ... autobiographical. Illness laid me once for three and a half years in a plaster bed. This period of illness was accompanied by paralysis of the lower half of the body. And although I owned my hands, nevertheless my life in these years was reduced to the life of a "head without a body", which I did not feel at all - complete anesthesia. That's when I changed my mind and re-felt everything that a "head without a body" can experience.

With the publication of the story, Belyaev's professional literary activity began. He collaborates with the magazines "World Pathfinder", "Around the World", "Knowledge is Power", "Struggle of the Worlds", publishes new fantastic works: "The Island of Lost Ships", "Lord of the World", "The Last Man from Atlantis". He signs not only with his last name, but also with pseudonyms - A. Rom and Arbel.

Margarita Konstantinovna is tirelessly typing his new works on an old Remington typewriter. The life of the Belyaevs is getting better. They bought a piano. They play music in the evenings. They visit theaters and museums. Found new friends.

1928 was a significant year in Belyaev's work: the novel "The Amphibian Man" was published. The chapters of the new work were published in the magazine "Around the World". The success was extraordinary! Issues of magazines were snapped up instantly. Suffice it to say that the circulation of "Around the World" increased from 200,000 to 250,000 copies. In the same year, 1928, the novel was published twice as a separate book, and a third edition appeared a year later. The popularity of the novel surpassed all expectations. The secret of the success of the critics was explained by the fact that this is a "universal novel that combines science fiction, adventure, social theme and melodrama." The book has been translated and published in many languages. Belyaev became famous! (Shot in 1961, after the death of the writer, the film of the same name was also a stunning success. It was watched by 65.5 million viewers - a record of that time!)

In December 1928, Belyaev left Moscow and moved to Leningrad. The apartment on Mozhaisky Street was furnished with taste. “On the occasion,” recalls Svetlana Alexandrovna Belyaeva, “my parents bought wonderful antique furniture - an office, it had a Swedish desk, a comfortable reclining chair, a large plush sofa, a piano and shelves with books and magazines.”

Alexander Romanovich writes a lot and enthusiastically. His fiction is not far-fetched, but based on a scientific basis. The writer follows the news of science and technology. His knowledge is encyclopedically versatile and he easily navigates new directions.

It would seem that life is going well. But... Belyaev falls ill with pneumonia. Doctors advise to change the climate. And the family moves to Kyiv, where his childhood friend Nikolai Pavlovich Vygotsky lives. Kyiv has a fertile climate, life is cheaper, but... publishing houses accept manuscripts only in Ukrainian! The writer is forced to make another move to Moscow.

Here, grief befell the family: on March 19, Lyudmila's daughter dies of meningitis, and Alexander Romanovich has an exacerbation of spinal tuberculosis. Bed again. And as a response to forced immobility, interest in the problems of space exploration is growing. Alexander Romanovich studies the works of Tsiolkovsky, and the imagination of the science fiction writer draws a flight to the moon, interplanetary travel, the discovery of new worlds. This topic is dedicated to "Airship". After reading it, Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky noted in his review: "The story ... is witty written and scientific enough for fantasy." The story "Jump into Nothing" - about a trip to Venus - Belyaev also sent Tsiolkovsky, and the scientist wrote a preface to it. Their correspondence continued until Tsiolkovsky's departure from life. In memory of Konstantin Eduardovich, the writer dedicated his novel The Star of the KETs (1936).

In October 1931, the Belyaevs moved again - to Leningrad, where they lived until 1938. In recent years, the writer was sick, almost never got out of bed. And in the summer of 1938 they change their living space in Leningrad for a five-room apartment in Pushkin.

Alexander Romanovich almost never leaves home. But writers, readers and admirers come to him, pioneers gather every week - he leads a drama circle.

Here he finds the Patriotic War. Belyaev died in the occupied city on January 6, 1942. At the Kazan cemetery in Pushkin, a white obelisk with the inscription "Belyaev Alexander Romanovich" stands over his grave, below - an open book with a quill pen. On the pages of the book is written: "Sci-Fi Writer."

Belyaev created 17 novels, dozens of short stories and a huge number of essays. And this is for 16 years of literary work! His fascinating works are imbued with faith in the unlimited possibilities of the human mind and faith in justice.

Reflecting on the tasks of a science fiction writer, Alexander Romanovich wrote: “A writer working in the field of science fiction must himself be so scientifically educated that he can not only understand what the scientist is working on, but also, on this basis, foresee the consequences and possibilities that are sometimes still unclear. and the scientist himself. He himself was such a science fiction writer.

It is believed, and not without reason, that Alexander Romanovich Belyaev has three lives: one - from birth to the release of the story "Professor Dowell's Head", the second - from this first story to the day the writer died, the third - the longest life in his books.

The journal "Science and Life" became the winner of the Alexander Belyaev Literary Prize in 2009 in the nomination "Journal - for the most interesting activity during the year preceding the award". The prize was awarded "for loyalty to the traditions of Russian popular science and science fiction literature and journalism."

The idea to establish a memorial prize in honor of Alexander Belyaev arose in 1984, when the centenary of the birth of the famous science fiction writer, who wrote not only the science fiction novels Amphibian Man, Ariel, and Professor Dowell's Head, but also the scientific - Popular works. However, it was first awarded in 1990, and in its early years was awarded for literary works in the science fiction genre.
