Yuliy Kim as a project

At the beginning of the school year, when determining the topic of our future project work, the eighth-graders and I went through a lot of options - from the works of N.V. Gogol to works modern writers- and decided to focus on what would be interesting to all of us. It was also necessary to take into account the specifics of the class - these guys are lively, active, not shy about the public, many of them have already performed on the school stage more than once, and all these qualities had to be used.

The “candidacy” I proposed interested the guys. Yuliy Kim is our contemporary, a living classic of Russian literature and an active participant public life countries. Julius Chersanovich is an ironic, “funny” author, his work is filled with humor, his songs from films and television films are heard by almost everyone. The name Kim is well known to graduates of the Moscow State Pedagogical Institute. Lenin, lovers of art songs, progressively minded intelligentsia, for whom the ideals of the sixties are not an empty phrase... But this, unfortunately, is not the overwhelming majority of the country's inhabitants. And I wanted to introduce my students to the work of a man under whose sign my college youth passed, whose songs we sang “on potatoes,” in our kitchens, and at student concerts. Kim's songs are not only part of our youth with our classmates. This is part of the life of many, many graduates of Moscow State Pedagogical Institute. And this is part of the life of our country.

“A bright man”, “kind talent”, “pure soul”, “forever Yulik” - these are just a few reviews from people who know Yuli Chersanovich personally or have attended his concerts. Sergei Nikitin once said: “Kim’s creations create a unique feeling of flight in listeners.” And indeed it is. This is a flight of creative imagination, and a flight of free spirit, and a flight of words sparkling with wit and irony. The Kim phenomenon also lies in the fact that many do not even imagine how well they are familiar with his work, how often, without knowing it, they quote the poet’s lines. One cannot but agree with the opinion of journalist and writer D. Bykov: “Yuliy Kim is one of the most great poets the second half of the twentieth and the first half of the twenty-first century. This is guaranteed by the number of proverbs, sayings, thoughts and maxims pulled from it.”

Together with the students, outlining a plan for future work, we decided not to limit ourselves to a printed illustrated version of the project and its computer presentation, but also planned to present a small theatrical production. Together we formulated a topic that we will work on throughout the year: “Julius Kim is a bard, poet, playwright".

Each of the project participants received their own task - to explore one of the areas of Yu. Kim’s life and work. The following directions were identified.

2. Fragments of biography: studies at the Pedagogical Institute (Faculty of History and Philology of Moscow State Pedagogical Institute named after Lenin), short teaching activity in Kamchatka, later in Moscow at the Physical Lyceum.

3. How did the events taking place in the country affect the life of the family? The fate of the parents - Korean translator Kim Chersan and Russian literature teacher N.V. Vsesvyatskaya (the book by Alina and Yulia Kimov “About our mother Nina Vsesvyatskaya, teacher” helped us a lot here); dissident, human rights activities of Kim; satirical works written during the years of “stagnation”; why Kim had to become Yu. Mikhailov, etc.

4. Kim and cinema. Songs written for the television films “Bumbarash”, “An Ordinary Miracle”, “The Twelve Chairs”, “The Man from the Boulevard des Capuchins”, “About Little Red Riding Hood”, etc.

5. Kim and the theater . Works created for Moscow theaters: the fairy tale “Ivan Tsarevich”, the musical “The Bedbug” based on the play by V. Mayakovsky to the music of V. Dashkevich, the libretto of the recently staged opera “The Inspector General” (music by V. Dashkevich) in the studio of A. Pokrovsky, songs, created for the play “Minor” based on the comedy by D.I. Fonvizina.

6. Creativity and activities of Yu. Kim at the present time (speeches, concerts, books).

7. Literary analysis of Kim's poetic texts, observations of style and means of artistic expression.

Some results of our six-month work were presented in the composition “Literary living room. Meet Yuliy Kim".It included materials that the guys collected: photographs they found on the Internet, fragments of an interview with Yuli Chersanovich, recordings of poems and songs performed by Kim himself and the group “Songs of Our Century”. Live performances of Kim's works by the students themselves were also planned. We wanted the script to reflect the main areas of the life of our remarkable contemporary, as well as his civil position, a responsible attitude towards what he does, his awareness of his purpose and the high title of a poet, so the script included not only funny songs, but also serious, problematic poems.

In order for the composition to be organic, we decided to read some songs as poems. After all, Kim has few poems as such - most of them were set to music either by himself or by such wonderful composers as Vladimir Dashkevich, Gennady Gladkov and Alexey Rybnikov. Before performing the “Theatrical Prologue,” the children first listened to Kim himself sing this work, and tried to convey some of the features of the author’s intonation in their reading. They say that the songs of bards lose a lot when read, that without music their poems are worth little, but we are convinced that this is not so. On the contrary, each word sounds special, these are the verses that are not always heard as they should in the song.

A great success for us in working on the project was participation in the recording of the TV show “Life Line” with Yuli Kim. The children were able to see the artist with their own eyes, feel the charm of his irony, hear Yuli Chersanovich perform songs that they had already learned, and also appreciate the sincerity and depth of the answers to the questions asked of him by the public. Listeners were interested in the details of Kim's biography, his participation in human rights activities, problems of creativity, and even problems of teaching.

Work on the project is not yet finished. In the future, we are going to present not only a computer presentation of our activities and the final printed version with all the materials collected together, but also a small concert “Yuliy Kim Song Theater”.

In conclusion, it remains only to say that such a form of work as project activities, very fruitful. It awakens a lively, direct interest in the subject, diversifies both the activities of the teacher and the activities of students, prepares them for various types of creativity, and teaches them to integrate different types of art, such as literature, music, theater, and cinema. Among other things, project (research) work has good prospects for becoming a form of examination in literature (abstracts are gradually becoming a thing of the past), and this also needs to be taken into account when planning students’ educational and extracurricular activities.

I bring to the attention of readers a shortened version of our composition based on the work of Yuli Kim.

Literary lounge “Meet Yuliy Kim!”

(The phonogram of the song “Fantastic-Romantic” plays.)

Leading. Almost everyone knows Yulia Kim Russian man, even one who can hardly remember whether he has ever heard this name. However, there are television films that everyone watched, and everyone heard the songs in them. “About Little Red Riding Hood” and “An Ordinary Miracle”, “Bumbarash” and “Twelve Chairs”, as well as “Formula of Love”, “Dot, Dot, Comma” and many, many others. Well, who among us has not at least once sung: “A-ah-ah... crocodiles, hippopotamuses...” or “And the butterfly’s wings are by-by-by-byak...” Or “Uno, uno, uno, un momento.” ..” The author of all these popular songs is a poet, playwright, composer, one of the best domestic bards - Yuliy Chersanovich Kim.

It often happens that a song, when released to the people, if it is a good, real song, loses its author. This is exactly what often happened with the creations of Julius Kim. For example, once in a TV show famous actor admitted that he loves Russians very much folk songs, especially this one...

(The phonogram of the song “Gub” sounds s damned, secret thoughts...")

Leading. They say that after this, Yuli Chersanovich, picking up the phone, introduced himself like this: “The Russian people are listening!”

Yuliy Kim was born in Moscow on December 23, 1936. The brutal events of those years - arrests and repressions - also affected his family.

Poet. “ They took my father and gave him ten years without the right to correspondence, which at that time, as a rule, meant execution. Two years later they took my mother, and for the first time I saw her with conscious eyes when I was already ten years old. And in 1951, fate brought my mother and me to Turkmenistan. To the great construction site of socialism - the Main Turkmen Canal. There, in Tashauz, I graduated from school. There I learned to play the harmonica, sang in the choir and wrote poems continuously, including on the death of Stalin, which I sent to Komsomolskaya Pravda, which, thank God, did not publish them.”

(The phonogram of the song “It’s good for the frigate to go...” plays)

Poet."IN pedagogical institute the guys were accepted willingly, and although I confused Niagara Falls with Victoria, the examiner pretended that there was also a Niagara in Africa and gave me a five. And I entered the institute, brazenly believing that someday in the process of studying I would become, if not a writer, then a journalist, or an editor, or a literary scholar - just not a teacher. Like Pechorin, I felt immense powers within me, deserving, of course, better use compared to the miserable career of a school mentor. But one fine day I found myself on the threshold of the institute with a teacher’s diploma and a three-year contract. I failed to evade the pedagogical path. “Well,” I sighed. - I didn’t make the Count of Monte Cristo. To teach is to teach.” And, according to the contract, he went to Kamchatka.”

Leading. Based on Kamchatka impressions, Kim’s songs were created, which brought him fame, such as “Whale Fish”, “Captain Bering”, etc.

(The song “Whale Fish” is sung by students.)

In the far north
Whale fish roams
And behind it on the seiner
Fishermen are walking.

No whale, no whale
No whale, not visible
That's the problem, that's the problem
What a shame!

Somehow on a black night
The captain came out
And through the telescope
He is looking for a whale:

“No whale, no whale,
No whale, not visible
That's the problem, that's the problem
What a shame!”

Somehow cabin boy Dudochkin
Threw the lot into the sea,
And on this fishing rod
The sperm whale pecked.

Here's a whale - but what kind of species:
Only the ribs are visible
Wow, what a skinny one!
What a shame!..

In the far north
Whale fish roams
And behind it on the seiner
Fishermen are walking.

Poet.“I taught for almost nine years, and with pleasure. More precisely, with a sense of exciting and significant business. Endlessly creative. At the same time, my writing was getting better and better, and the moment came to say goodbye to school. Well, by fate, by calling, it turned out for me to be a writer. If it hadn’t worked out, I would still be teaching to this day.”

Leading. Yuli Kim's friendship with cinema began in the 60s and continues to this day. Kim also writes a lot for the theater. Among his works are songs and romances, couplets and ballads, arias and prayers performed by soldiers, students, knights, hunters, officers, wanderers, Red Army soldiers, pirates - heroes of the works of Moliere, Gaidar, Swift, Cervantes, Mayakovsky, Ostrovsky and others.

(Reading “Theatrical Prologue” to the play “As You Like It” by William Shakespeare.)

Medam, monsieur, gentlemen!
Why play plays?
When the whole world is a theater
And we are all actors in it, -
Isn't it, isn't it?
Medam, monsieur, gentlemen!
What a pity that in this drama
Untalented make-up artists.

Insidious prompters -
We ourselves, we are with you.
Oh, how could we, gentlemen,
Play not a farce, but a fairy tale.
About happiness and hopes,
Play before it's too soon
Denouement, denouement!..

Oh, a world where instead of holly
Arches of rainbows above us,
Where the moon shines instead of lamps!
Where are we, we play weakly,
Oh, how could we at least
Do not confuse roles, roles...
Role? Gop-la-la!

(Performed by students it sounds song "I'm a Clown"

I'm a clown
I'm an entertainer
I don't run out to the arena for money,
But only
for fun:

May be,
when I'm here,
There will be one less sadness for someone, -
It turns out
absolutely,
There will be more joy in the world!

I'm a clown
funny clown!
I am crowned with this cap forever!
Well, maybe
Am I not beautiful?
What a clown! What fun! What a wonderful one!
Let's
battlefields
Let's combine into one arena for performances:
I `ll exit
to the middle -
And you, like children, laugh, laugh at me!
I'm a clown!
I'm an entertainer!

Leading. A special theme in the work of any poet is the theme of love, and Yuliy Kim is no exception. Epochs and governments change, morals and customs change, but love still remains the most beautiful feeling on earth, which turns out to be an ordinary miracle and helps to defeat all sorcerers and villains, survive all hardships and trials.

(The song “Don’t leave me, spring” from the film “Handsome Man” plays.)

Don't leave me, spring,
Thunderstorm and momentary cold
Don't tease me in vain!
Don't leave me, spring,
Shine brighter for me every morning!
May your golden days last...

Last, last, my wonderful dream!
Providence sent you
I've been waiting for you for so long!
You are so beautiful, sweet dream,
That I don't believe in waking up
And only you the soul lives!

Don't leave me, spring,
When it's so joyful and tender
Streams and nightingales sing!
Don't leave me, spring,
Don't leave me, hope
To the miracle of happiness and love!

Leading. Yuliy Kim is certainly a brilliant stylist and consummate master theatrical monologues. But he is still our contemporary, so he cannot help but respond to the events taking place in the life of the country. “Conscience, nobility and dignity - this is our holy army” - these words, following Bulat Okudzhava, could be repeated by Yuliy Chersanovich.

(Reading “Song of Peace.”)

Everything in the world is dark and menacing again.
How to shout to the heads of government?
Agree - it's not too late!
Before it's too late - come to an agreement!
We understand - it is difficult, very difficult.
We understand - our song is naive:
It's probably easier to die on both sides,
Than to trust each other at least once.
We understand: there are too many generals,
Which cannot be retrained to be postmen.
We understand: for the sake of highest ideals
The death of our millions is necessary, -
We understand...
But what about the children?
Why are the children doomed?
There's nothing on white light,
What could be worth that price?

Poet.“I think a lot about where the country will go, and, you know, I have imagined some strange type of person who should appear in our lives. Even though I vaguely imagine him, he has many of the traits of people I know. His most important distinguishing feature is that he is a free Russian man.”

(The poem “In My Own Way” is read.)

When you decide
Achieve a noble goal
Then there is only one thing left:
Make your dream come true.
And so, leaving my father's house,
You go, full of courage,
And let the ravines, let the snags, -
You still go your own way...

Now steeply up, then sharply down,
He took off again - and hurt himself again.
And on the left is laughter, and on the right is whistling:
"Hey! Admit that you were wrong!”
And you are further and further ahead,
And you see through the fog and tears:
The distance is getting wider...
The stars are getting closer...
And it’s not in vain that you go your own way!
And you always go your own way.

Poet.“I think the word “poet” is the most accurate definition. Not only because I mainly write poetry, but also because of my general feeling of myself. You can simply say - Russian writer, since this includes everything - writing plays, prose, poetry, and song lyrics.”

On the threshold of our days
Inevitably we meet
Let's recognize and hug
Our true friends.
Hello, time for proud plans,
Ardent vows and long meetings!
Holy friendly flame,
It's not easy to save...

Everything would live as in these days,
I wish I could live easily and boldly,
Don't calculate the limit
For fearlessness and love.
And, like the lyceum students,
Gather by the fire
In October, purple leaf
Nineteenth day...

But fate will take its course.
He whistles dashingly like a driver,
Everything will be calculated in its own way,
You won't know in advance.
A mad blizzard will break out,
The gray darkness will laugh,
And you want to save a friend,
You can't imagine how...

On the roads of our days,
At the crossroads of hostels
You are our friend, you are our Teacher,
Glorious Pushkin Lyceum!
Under your immortal shadow
I would like to learn completely
Reckless fun
I trust selfless
Freethinking depth!..

A talented poet and composer made a huge contribution to the development of drama and cinema. We will tell you about the life of the poet and what achievements the city can boast of. this moment Yuliy (Kim) Mikhailov.

Childhood

The composer's full name is Kim Yuliy Chersanovich. Yuliy Mikhailov is the pseudonym under which he worked. The boy was born in Moscow on February 23, 1936, three years before the start of the war. Yuli's father was a Korean, Kim Chersan, a translator by profession, and his mother was a Russian girl, Nina Vsesvyatskaya. The child’s childhood was not easy, because just two years after the birth of his son, the head of the family was shot, and his mother was sent into exile. Little is known about how Julius lived all these years. Besides him, there was another sister in the family, and both of them, after the arrest of their mother, were sent to their grandparents in Kaluga region. Then he spent several years with his aunts in Turkmenistan, until 1945, when his mother returned from exile. But Julius was able to return to Moscow only in 1954.

Youth

Arriving in the capital, Yuliy Mikhailov entered one of the prestigious educational institutions of that time - Moscow State Pedagogical Institute. After graduating from the institute and receiving the long-awaited diploma, Yuliy was assigned to work at a Kamchatka school. There he worked for four years, which he remembered for the rest of his life. This was his first professional experience, and such things are never forgotten. After this, Julius worked in Moscow, where he taught subjects such as literature, history and social studies. He even worked in a boarding school for some time.

Maturity

During this period of his life, Julius discovered his talent for writing poetry. He learned to play the guitar and began creating beautiful musical compositions. All the time that Julius worked as a teacher, he staged with his students many different scenes with musical accompaniment, which can safely be considered as musicals.
