Biography of the child of a genius

Society Genius with the soul of a child: The sad story of the Soviet child prodigy Pasha Konoplev, whose life broke in a psychiatric hospital at six years old at the little Pasha Konoplev from Moscow was higher than many adults. Already at ten years he published a scientific work, and at 15 he entered the Moscow State University. In 18, the genius became a deputy of the district council.

Miracle boy, not otherwise. The whole Soviet Union flew up about him. A brilliant future awaited the child prodigy, he had to make great discoveries, but his life broke off too early ... in a psychiatric hospital. As the brain of a genius played a cruel joke with him-it was said in the material that Pavel Konoplev was lagging behind in development on March 25 of the year in an ordinary Soviet family-engineer.

From infancy, he was a painful child. The pediatrician, having examined the baby, immediately said that the frail boy is "not a tenant and will hurt a lot." In this life, he did everything quickly: he spoke quickly, walked quickly, studied very quickly and very quickly, thought lightly, ”recalled his mother Natalya Pavlovna Konoplev, who wrote a book about her son“ The Universe of Pasha Konopole ”.

The baby was predicted by the development of development and even made a corresponding diagnosis in the medical record. Because of this, the parents hung posters with letters and numbers in the house and out loud began to tell the boy about different tasks. They were put together in one basket. How much did it become?

Little Pasha instantly answered: “Three! Since then, he constantly asked to play with him "in apples." Contrary to all warnings, Pasha was not like lagging behind other children, it was also smarter than them. Even before school, he learned to compare, subtraction, multiplication, division, writing and reading. Once a family friend, a teacher of the Bauman Institute, made a four -year -old Pavlik task about a fly and a train.

She flew to the train and immediately flew back. Arriving at point B, she again flew towards the train - and so on, until the train arrived at B. Pounds how many kilometers flew a fly? And what was his surprise when the child, having thought only five minutes, said the correct answer. At the age of four, he solved the problem in two actions. So all the adults immediately understood: in front of them is a small child prodigy.

The six -year -old with IQ amazing abilities of the boy developed by the day, but by the clock. At the age of seven, he studied logarithms, independently understanding the topic that is held in the tenth grade. The affected parents took the Pasha to take the IQ test, which showed the result for comparison: IQ ex -president Ronald Reagan was, and the famous world chess champions - about seven years old for children, also learned a note and began to compose melodies.

Despite the mind and noticeable superiority over peers, Pavlik was not a closed child. He played with other children, painted cards, cut out realistic figures from wood, played football. The schoolboy was even recognized as the best goalkeeper in the yard. Pavlik loved to come up with tasks and solve them. For example, when he found out that it was impossible to boil water in space, he came up with a special “space kettle”.

Such a genius was simply bored in a regular school. In the lessons, he looked out the window and did not answer. It was too simple for the boy. Teachers put deuces for him and called his parents to the school “I said,“ be patient ”. And then Pasha was tested by the famous children's psychologist Victoria Yurkevich, who studied the child prodigy. She wrote a recommendation of translation from the first to the fourth grade immediately, ”Natalya recalled.

Instead of an extension of the evening at the institute, even Pasha was smiled for years, yet in his soul he was a little boy who loves to fantasize and come up with different stories. Once Pasha invited her mother to compose together a story about flying to Pluto. It’s dark there. I read that on Pluto the sun shines like a candle bulb, ”his mother told him.

Natalya Pavlovna showed the decision of the child to a familiar astronomer, who confirmed that the boy had made the right calculation. He recommended that he show him to the academician, the head of the school for mathematically gifted children Andrei Kolmogorov. The scientist appreciated Konoplev’s knowledge, but did not take to his school. He advised the young genius more playing sports.

Then the parents gave the gifted boy to a circle of astronomy in the Palace of Pioneers, where he showed an excellent result in the first lesson. The teacher suggested taking him to the Sternberg Astronomical Institute. So Pavlik at the age of nine got into the laboratory of Professor Pavel Khlopov. He showed the child what painstaking work is and taught him to look for patterns and draw scientific conclusions.

With the presentation of the scientist, Pasha made calculations on the basis of perennial observations of variable stars in the constellation of the Zucheyenosz. The hardships of growing up with a real gift for a summer teenager was a domestic computer. The machine did not shine with software, and the boy immediately wrote a bunch of programs for her. Later he began to develop computer games.

After that, they began to write about young geniuses in newspapers.It is noteworthy that the boy was talented in almost everything: he wrote beautiful poems and stories, composed music, mastered English in two weeks. And at the age of 18 he became a deputy of the district council in the first democratic elections. However, despite the good performance, the teenager was hard at the university.

After all, classmates were older than him and they were not particularly interested in communicating with him. Konoplev looked older than his years, but inside he was a shy teenager. At 16, he realized that his childhood was over for him. Pasha wanted to ride on a swing, and some girl called him an uncle. The boy came home and cried all evening. The difficulties of the transitional age also affected genius.

Vunderkind is a child prodigy, but you won’t throw emotions anywhere. Pavlik suffered due to the lack of full communication with youth and an indifferent attitude of the girls. So he slowly plunged into a depressive state. It even came to the point that Pasha could break something in an attack of anger or throw it. His attacks dulled sweet, but no one then knew that the guy had diabetes.

In addition to this, when the Wunderkind entered the graduate school and began work under the beginning of Professor Yuri Nikolayevich Pavlovsky at the summer, the first signs of mental illness began to manifest his work. According to his mother, Pasha led an active life, but has always been infantile. In one they are geniuses, in the other - helpless children, ”Natalya wrote in the book.

As a result, the young man made a terrible diagnosis - sluggish schizophrenia. He was put on appropriate drugs. Because of this, Konoplev began to gain weight, and he reached kilograms. Concerned parents showed their son to Professor Mosolov, a psychiatrist-endocrinologist. He determined the hormonal imbalance and prescribed the genius of the correct treatment.

It helped: Pavel lost weight, anger attacks became less. Unfortunately, it was not possible to get an appointment with Mosolov anymore. And then perestroika began, the Soviet Union collapsed and Pavel became only worse. He could not look at what was happening around. Deluspera drove him crazy, as well as the indifference of the girls. He suffered so much that he even tried to commit suicide.

This led a young genius to a hospital bed. It is known that heavy drugs were prescribed in Konoplev Hospital. Which led to the formation of a blood clot. So on September 17, a genius who could become a brilliant scientist died at the age of 29 from the “pulmonary artery thromboembolism”. It is believed that he was in the Kashchenko psychiatric hospital. His mother is over 80 years old. She wrote a book and articles about her son about the features of raising gifted children.
