And the writer Albert Likhanov shows with his life the path of truth. He always defended justice and tried to act on the side of the light. The life of such an idealist could not be simple, but it turned out to be very interesting and harmonious.

Childhood of a children's writer

In the small town of Kirov, on September 13, 1935, a boy was born - Albert Likhanov. His biography began the same way as that of many other children: school, clubs, books. The boy's family was generally the most ordinary; only one circumstance distinguished its history - among its ancestors there were hereditary nobles who professed Christianity and baptized their children in the church. But the boy learned about these circumstances as an adult, and spent his childhood in the same way as all his peers. After school, Albert entered the journalism department of the Ural University in Sverdlovsk, he felt a desire to write, and journalism seemed to him the right direction in life.

First experiments

Likhanov embarked on the literary path after graduating from university. A graduate of the journalism department in 1958, he returned to Kirov and began working for the Kirovskaya Pravda newspaper. At the same time, a new writer for children and youth appeared on the country's literary field - Albert Likhanov. The stories that he sent to the editors of the magazine “Youth” were received favorably and in 1962 the work “Shagreen Skin” was published. The young author finds his audience - teenagers - and writes quite a lot. His works are distinguished by subtle psychologism, vitality and social acuity.

Professional path

Real literary fame came to the writer in the 70s. At this time, Albert Likhanov became one of the most popular authors for young people, whose biography develops in two directions: he writes and also works in the media. The writer's stories were published in the magazine "Yunost" in the 1970s; he honed his style, becoming a real mature author. In total, the writer has written 106 books to date; they have been published in more than 30 million copies. In 2005, a 20-volume collected works of Albert Likhanov was published. In addition, collected works of the author were published three more times in Russia. Albert Likhanov, whose books have been translated into 34 languages ​​of the world, also achieved international recognition.

As a journalist, Likhanov worked for some time at Komsomolskaya Pravda in Novosibirsk, then he was invited to Moscow, to the very popular magazine Smena, where he would work for 20 years, 13 of them as editor-in-chief. During the years of perestroika, Likhanov became the head of the Children's Fund, which was created on his initiative, and heads it quite successfully to the present day. He was also among the founders of the Research Institute of Childhood, of which he still serves as permanent director.

Literary achievements

The success of a writer is assessed by his works, and Albert Likhanov is no exception, whose books have been read by several generations of young people. His most famous creations are the stories “Clean Pebbles”, “Deception”, “Calvary”, “Good Intentions”, “The Highest Measure”, “Innocent Secrets”, “Flood”, “Nobody”, the trilogy “Good Intentions”, “Russians” boys" - a novel in stories and a novel-duology about the war "Men's School".

Social, rather tough prose is what makes Albert Likhanov stand out. “The Broken Doll” - an acutely social story that shook the country - is a vivid example of the writer’s powerful talent.

Likhanov’s works were repeatedly filmed, for example, the films “Family Circumstances”, “Good Intentions” and “The Supreme Measure” were able to convey the spirit of the writer’s prose and contribute to the education of young people. In total, 8 works of the author were filmed.

For his literary works and social activities, Likhanov repeatedly received awards at various levels; he received 11 different orders, including the Red Banner of Labor, Friendship and “For Services to the Fatherland, III degree,” 8 major prizes and a number of medals.

Social activity

A man with a caring heart - this title was given to Albert Likhanov, whose biography is closely connected with various socially significant activities. He always acted as a defender of children and devoted a lot of time and effort to this. At his insistence, a Children's Fund appeared in the USSR, which to this day carries out a variety of charitable activities.

In 1989, Likhanov was elected People's Deputy of the USSR and he joined the work on the Universal Convention on the Rights of the Child. He also participates in the UN meeting at which this document is adopted. Later, he would make a lot of efforts to ratify the Convention in the USSR.

In addition, Likhanov is active in the Writers' Union, working as secretary and member of the organization's board. He actively supports young writers - for this purpose, a club for young authors “Molodist”, a publishing house for aspiring writers “Dom”, as well as five magazines for children and teenagers have been created. He establishes special awards for teachers and children's libraries.

The writer does a lot for disadvantaged children; on his initiative, the Children's Fund is building several houses for orphans. Several libraries for children and youth have been opened, and special publications for children have been published.

Albert Likhanov also meets with different people who come to him with their troubles. The writer tries to help everyone.

Private life

If there are people with a harmonious destiny, then a striking example is Albert Likhanov, whose biography combines creativity, professional activity, social activity and family life. The writer has a strong rear; his wife Lidiya Aleksandrovna, a former television announcer, shares her husband’s interests and supports him in all his endeavors. They have a son, Dmitry, who followed in his father’s footsteps and became a journalist and writer. True, he chose literature for adults for himself, but in this area he represents his name with dignity. The family lives by common interests, and this is probably one of the secrets of Albert Likhanov’s love of life and optimism.

When the news reports that Albert Likhanov is 80 years old, it’s hard to believe, because he is cheerful and young at heart. He continues to meet with readers, conduct social activities and write; he infects with energy, optimism and faith in people.

The writer pays special attention to the role of family and school in raising a child and in shaping his character.

Likhanov wrote a number of wonderful works about his wartime childhood.

Publicism, passion, truthfulness are characteristic features of Likhanov’s style in all literary genres. One of the most dramatic works about wartime childhood is the story “The Last Cold” (1984). This story, the stories “The Store of Beloved Aids” and “Children’s Library”, the novel “Men’s School”, form a kind of literary cycle about wartime childhood. Likhanov touches on the military theme both in the story “Military Echelon” and in the novel “My General”. In the writer’s books, the author’s personality is felt; it manifests itself primarily in the pathos of his work, in the way he relates to the moral quest of the heroes, to their uncontrollable desire to find themselves, to discover the best in themselves.

1970-1990 - the period of Likhanov’s active writing activity. He publishes works of various genres, addressed to readers of different ages. From reflections on letters from readers, the idea for a book about modern education, “Dramatic Pedagogy: Essays on Conflict Situations” (1983), was born, which has been translated into many languages.
