Alfred Mukhametrachimov Biography

Alfred Mukhametrachimov on the eve of the 85th anniversary of the birth of Ilgam Shakirov. One of the closest friends of the Nightingale of the Tatar people was Razil Valeev. In addition, Valeev talked about the chances of Tatarstan missed in E, why in his family there were disputes about the future of communism and what the ministries he considers “shot” in our republic.

You are one of those people who for many years and, in fact, have talked with Ilgam-Abye until the last day. And how did he end up in your life? In the year, I entered the Literary Institute in Moscow. I don’t know anyone, I live alone in the dormitory room, and then one day they knocked on me. He opened the door and was stunned, Ilm Shakirov himself stands in front of me, he turned to me: “Are you razil?

Ilgam-Abye says that he will not go into the room, but one request brought him. He arrived at the company "Melody" for recording a gramplast, which has four songs on one side, and on the other four more. But one song is missing, the melody is excellent, but he does not like the text. I answer him that he had never written songs of songs in his life, only poetry, and he replies that he knows, read them in the magazine “Kazan Utlara”.

I decided to take this case, I say: how much time I have - one, two, three months? He smiled: no, you need today, they say, a taxi awaits him below, we must go on business, and after 1.5 hours he will return. Please say, compose and print on a typewriter. I was in a state of shock, but managed. The poem is called “Dulkyn” “wave”, the song was recorded on the same day, it became popular, Ilgam-Abbi performed it until the end of her life.

I asked him why this song turned out to be a long -liver, he replied: "Because it is about our fate, about the fate of our people." Then Ilgam-Abye lived on Nikolaev Street, Tukai was behind the monument. I came to his house, he was not, left poems. The next day, he calls, says that the poems were very good, only wants to change several lines. I replaced the “kar” with “Kysh” “Winter”.

This song is still popular, her rayaz Fasikhov is now performing, the folklore ensemble of Aydar Fayzrahmanova at the anniversary sang recently. This is how my acquaintance with Ilgam-Abye began, it was he who brought me to the world of songs. In general, could the Tatarstan parliament go on a different path and impede the decision of the federal authorities? Unknown people say more - this is bad, let them say their word and who know a lot about the work of the republican parliament.

The session of the State Council dedicated to the language consisted of two parts: we did not close the first, a month later the second took place. At the first meeting, we spoke in defense of our language, I said, but in the second part only two people spoke: the prosecutor and the chairman of the State Council. I was preparing to say my speech, prepared a 7-8-minute report, but they did not give a word to anyone and made a decision in which there was not a word that two hours a week remained in the Tatar language in the school.

They wrote: “Take the information of the prosecutor’s information” about checks in educational institutions. I think that if we had been given a word, it would have become better, more affordable, but the essence of the decision would still not have changed, because the fate of the law was already foreseen in Yoshkar-Ola after the words of the president of Russia.

After all, we live in a presidential country, the main thing we have is the word of the president, it can sometimes be even higher than the law. Whatever we say. And we said, were not silent, my speeches are easy to find on the Internet, but Moscow in any case insisted on her own. By the way, the poet Krylov and the scientist Lobachevsky also served as librarians.

Books have been roads from childhood to each writer. For example, in my native village I re -read absolutely all books about literature. Then he decided to assemble a personal library. In the summer, we worked on the collective farm, we paid some money, and I began to collect a kind of fund. I remember, in our store, and then everything was sold together, there were soap next to kerosene and gingerbread, immediately there were a few books with a very beautiful name “One step forward, two steps back”.

I liked the name so much, I think: let me buy. It turned out to be Lenin's work. And the first book was Tatar folk tales, they were so well decorated, the artists of Lutfulla Fattakhov and Haris Yakupov painted them colorfully ... - For the villagers you were not an eccentric collector of books? Recently I calculated, it turned out that those who wrote poetry were more than 40 people.

For the village in houses, I think this is a good indicator. Once recently, the holiday of the village “Play, accordion” was held, and it turned out that those who owns this instrument are 47 people! There are villages in Tatarstan, where not a single button accordion, but we have 47, only think! Our people were not indifferent to art. Why this happened - I don’t know, in our village there were even people who made harmonies and violins.

Each nation has sayings, proverbs, sayings, all of them are written in the form of poems, figuratives, there are rhyme, rhythm. I began to write my first poems in the fourth grade, of course, they were very naive. Then he moved to journalism, wrote articles.I tried myself in dramaturgy, on the scenes of theaters of Tatarstan and Bashkortostan put my performances. I was published in magazines, came out in separate publications and novels, and the novel, and others.

The poet can work in many genres, but each prose writer is unlikely to be able to write poetry. Similarly suggests that poetry is a universal genre, this is primarily figurative thinking that adorns any genre. Recently I got a 7-volume of selected works. The first volume consists completely of poems, and in the rest - a novel, story, plays, journalism ...

- Many poets of your generation were singers of communism. What is this - conjuncture, sincere faith in ideals or just a way to survive? Each person in his life at least once suffers from chickenpox or another disease, so we have been ill with this. Then, ideology was strong, it was driven into us since childhood, and there were few those who did not believe in it.

I almost did not have such poems, there is one poem called “Appassionate” - this is Lenin's favorite work. I grew up in such a family: my father was a convinced communist, worked as the chairman of the collective farm, the Order -bearer, but from the side of the mother there were people of opposite views. My grandfather on the part of her mother, Nureretdin-Babay,-the so-called fist, he had his own mill, and when dispossession began, he was deprived of everything: they took the house, mill, horse, cow, but he did not fundamentally enter the collective farm.

They did not give the earth to Babay, they were not allowed to cook firewood, mow hay, plant potatoes, but he still did not enter the collective farm. Not sent to exile, as he did not hold farm. In addition, no one knew how to work at his mill, if he had been exiled somewhere, the whole village would be left without her. Therefore, the people, having gathered, decided to protect his grandfather's family.

He worked all his life at this mill, drove off to the shabes, engaged in construction, was a carpenter with golden hands. Babai argued all his life with his father, said that this system would not last long, that even the dog doesn’t eat general food, someday this system would come to an end. The father was called to the district committee, even reprimanded due to the fact that Babai did not enter the collective farm, and he worked as chairman of the collective farm, his son-in-law and my father.

I grew up, listening to their disputes, and my mother was religious, made a prayer. It seems that the right things were said on both sides: you will try, work, follow the instructions of Allah - you will go to heaven; On the other hand, if you are a decent person, to work honestly, you will come to communism. Education: Being a student of the Shingalchi school, began to write poetry and stories, to be printed in the district newspaper.

In M, together with friends - novice writers, he organized the first literary circle of schoolchildren of Nizhnekamsk. In the year he graduated from the Literary Institute. Gorky with a degree in literary work. Labor activity: - - Lithuanian employee, responsible secretary in the editorial office of Yalkyn magazine. Since October - deputy of the State Council of the Republic of Tatarstan V convocation, chairman of the Committee of the State Council of the Republic of Tatarstan on education, culture, science and national issues.
