Mother Zinaida Ivanovna Yevtushenko is a poet, geologist, Honored Worker of Culture of the RSFSR. After the birth of Yevgeny, Zinaida Ivanovna specifically replaced her husband's surname with her maiden name. She also changed the year of birth of her son, since at the age of 12 it was necessary to receive a pass.

From childhood, Yevtushenko was attached to books. Parents helped to know the world with the help of books, regular communication. Yevtushenko recalls: “Father could spend hours telling me, still an unintelligent child, about the fall of Babylon, and about the Spanish Inquisition, and about the war of the Scarlet and White Roses, and about William of Orange ... Thanks to my father, at the age of 6 I learned to read and write, I read in one gulp indiscriminately Dumas, Flaubert, Boccaccio, Cervantes and Wells. There was an unimaginable vinaigrette in my head. I lived in an illusory world, did not notice anyone and nothing around ... ".

In the future, the father leaves his mother and Eugene, goes to another woman. With her, he forms his family. Despite this, Alexander Rudolfovich continues to raise his son. He took Evgeny to an evening of poetry at Moscow State University. We went to the evenings of Anna Akhmatova, Boris Pasternak, Mikhail Svetlov, Alexander Tvardovsky, Pavel Antokolsky. The mother allowed the father to see his son. She understood that their communication was only for the benefit of Eugene. Zinaida Ivanovna often sent letters to Alexander Rudolfovich containing poems written by her son.

She kept all the manuscripts of Eugene. There was even a notebook containing nine thousand rhymes. But it was not possible to save it. Mother also instilled in Eugene a love of art. Zinaida Ivanovna was a soloist of the Stanislavsky Theater. She also had a musical education. Her frequent guests were artists who in the future became famous on the pop stage.
