For 70 years - a short period by historical standards - the Vladimir region has given the country and the world so many wonderful personalities that would be enough for centuries. Who are they, celebrities - natives of Vladimir region?
THE BEST MOVIE MECHANISM
Aleksey Batalov played many stellar film roles, but the most beloved by the people is the intelligent locksmith Gosha from the Oscar-winning film “Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears”. Theater and film actor, director, public figure, People's Artist of the USSR was born on November 20, 1928 in a respected Vladimir family. His grandfather - a descendant of Polish aristocrats - was under the tsar the chief inspector of forests in the province, his grandmother was a doctor, to whom the whole city wanted to get. To give birth to a son, Batalov's mother - theatrical actress Nina Olshevskaya - came to them.
Batalov was destined to become a star - eight of his paternal relatives worked at the Moscow Art Theater at once. Since 1954, he began acting in films, worked mainly at Lenfilm. The first role is a young worker Alexei Zhurbin in the film "Big Family". The most famous works are the role of Boris Borozdin in the film The Cranes Are Flying, the physicist Dmitry Gusev in the film Nine Days of One Year, Gurov in The Lady with the Dog, Fedya Protasov in The Living Corpse, and she is the role of Georgy Ivanovich in the melodrama "Moscow does not believe in tears".
The busy artist rarely visited his hometown, but he always remembered him - the residents of his house on Bolshaya Moskovskaya Street still remember how he easily drove to them on a white Volga at the very peak of fame.
WRITER FROM THE LOG CUT
Russian writer and poet Vladimir Soloukhin was born in the village of Alepino into a peasant family. In 1942 he graduated from an engineering school with a degree in instrumental mechanics. During the Great Patriotic War he served in the protection of the Kremlin. He first published poems in the Vladimir newspaper "Call", then in "Komsomolskaya Pravda". In 1951 he graduated from the Literary Institute. M. Gorky, to do literature professionally.
For the sake of the book "Vladimir country roads" in 1956, Soloukhin covered 635 kilometers from the Kirzhach River to Vyazniki in 41 days (321 on foot, 227 by car, 17 by horseback, 70 by boat). He believed that good books are born in travels, in meetings with living people. The travel diary gradually turned into a lyrical story about non-capital Russia. For 10 days the writer lived in his native Alepino, about the inhabitants of which he wrote a separate book, "A Drop of Dew".
He was advised to go to the village of Glotovo, Yuryev-Polsky district. It turned out that a wooden church of wonderful beauty, similar to a ship, has been preserved there. The writer puts forward the idea: "We need to create (for example, in Suzdal) a museum of wooden architecture. Bring the surviving windmills, churches, the most beautiful huts from everywhere!". And the first exhibit of the new Suzdal museum of wooden architecture was just that church from Glotov. He died metropolitan celebrity, and buried - in his native Alepino.
ANDREY RUBLEV'S HEIR
In 1960, in Moscow, at the first republican exhibition "Soviet Russia", the founders of the "Vladimir School of Painting" - Kim Britov, Vladimir Yukin and Valery Kokurin - announced themselves together for the first time. Boris Frantsuzov, a native of Kameshkovo, raised the national theme just as powerfully. He is a graphic artist, his genre is etching (a kind of engraving, the imprint of which is made from a pattern cut on a metal plate).
In search of a special Vladimir style of painting, patriotic artists relied on the deep traditions of the art of their land. Icons, Mstera lacquer miniatures, homespun rugs, patchwork quilts, Vladimir embroidery became the source of their inspiration. The result was a fusion of folk culture, coming from the depths of centuries, and the heights of the Russian landscape.
The plots of the works of all four were Vladimir villages, regional towns, bazaars, old streets, discreet fields and copses - everything that quiet provincial life is full of, retaining its bright originality and beauty. Today, their works are kept in the Tretyakov Gallery and the Russian Museum, as well as in a number of other domestic and foreign museums and private collections.
GREAT MUSIC TEACHER
People's Artist of Russia Eduard Markin was born in Voronezh, studied in Odessa and Novosibirsk, and became attached to the soul - to Vladimir. The world-famous choral maestro not so long ago even refused to take the post of rector of one of the Conservatories, so as not to leave his pupils, choristers, whose number today goes to many hundreds.
Markin's recognized achievement is the creation of the Theater of Choral Music, and then the Center for Choral Music of Vladimir-Suzdal Russia (1992). Now, under the wing of a professor at Vladimir University, there are several choirs at once - from the boys' chapel and children's choirs to mature performers. All of them successfully tour in Russia and abroad.
FROM "SOLOVIEV" TO "ZARECHNAYA STREET"
Dozens of favorite songs, which many today consider nameless folk, were written by Alexei Fatyanov from Vyaznikova. He took a lot in childhood from the breathtaking beauty of these places, so the main sources of Fatyanov’s song and poetic gift do not have to be looked for for a long time - they are in the Vladimir region: , soul - I'll give everything! During the war, he wrote love and comic songs all the time (he had the right - he fought in the penal battalion, was wounded twice), he knew from his own experience that the soldiers needed them especially: “The soldier dreams of brown eyes ...”, “I will return to throw into your hands with a branch of lilac - love", "Blood rushes to the temples - what a beauty", "No other in the world will replace you forever."
One hit followed another: “We haven’t been at home for a long time”, “Where are you, my garden?”, “Because we are pilots”, “Golden lights”, “Where are you now, fellow soldiers?”, “Sings accordion over Vologda”, “On your porch”. And also - “I won’t brag, my dear”, “My Chamomile”, “Road-road ...”, “Evening on the roadstead” and “Nightingales” - the favorite song of Marshal Georgy Zhukov. The film "Spring on Zarechnaya Street" with Fatyanov's song is one of the box office record holders in the USSR. "On a sunny meadow" - the annual festival in Vyazniki is named after this song, to which all the stars of the country are considered an honor to come.
"FATHER" OF LIEUTEN RZHEVSKY
In 1962 it came out, and Eldar Ryazanov's film comedy "The Hussar Ballad" with Rzhevsky - Yuri Yakovlev, and Shurochka - Larisa Golubkina is still being shown with the same colossal success. The author of the wonderful play in verse "A long time ago" is our fellow countryman, a native of Murom Alexander Gladkov.
He was born in the family of an engineer, and in his native city on the Oka, he fell in love forever with the era of the heroes of the novel "War and Peace", which his mother read to him. Having become a playwright, he himself spoke about this era in the rarest genre of “heroic comedy”. It was first played in 1941 - in the besieged Leningrad. For years she walked on the theatrical stages of the country, enjoying great popularity, until she was born a second time - on the screen.

Famous people from various fields of culture and sports were born and lived in our region. You don't have to look far for examples:
Vladimirov, Yuri Kuzmich, Zhukovsky, Nikolai Egorovich, Zworykin, Vladimir Kozmich, Konstantinov, Pyotr Alexandrovich, Kostin, Boris Alekseevich, Milovsky, Mikhail Pavlovich, Savarinsky, Fyodor Petrovich, Smirnov, Stanislav Alekseevich, Soloukhin, Vladimir Alekseevich, Speransky, Mikhail Mikhailovich, Stoletov, Alexander Grigorievich, Stoletov, Nikolai Grigorievich, Fomin, Nikolai Sergeevich, Shmakov, Pavel Vasilievich, Shumilovsky, Nikolai Nikolaevich.
We call the founders, discoverers, pioneers the figures of science who were the first to set foot on previously unknown paths of knowledge. If we turn to the lists of scientists who came out of our Vladimir region, we can see the names of the most prominent initiators.
Ingenious discoveries in the field of physics were made by A. G. Stoletov; his works helped our contemporaries come to new amazing discoveries in science and technology. The scientist N. E. Zhukovsky was the founder of modern hydro- and aircraft mechanics; Vladimir Ilyich Lenin called him the "father of Russian aviation".
A scientist of a completely different field of knowledge, V.S. Sopikov, a native of Suzdal, is referred to in encyclopedias as the "father of Russian bibliography." MP Lazarev, admiral of the Russian fleet, was the discoverer of a new sixth continent on our planet - Antarctica.
N. Sofronov's essay tells about three such initiators, about three natives of the Vladimir land - D. I. Vinogradov, the founder of porcelain production in Russia, about Academician I. M. Gubkin, the founder of Soviet petroleum geology, and GT. V. Shmakov, a scientist in the field of television.
How does a person live in 90 years?
Of course, capital acquired during his lifetime. We do not mean the wealth of a miserly knight, but the spiritual sphere of life. In old age, people tend to increasingly turn to the spirit, asking themselves the question: “How did I live my life? Why did I live? Did he live? The answer is harsh and fair edits time.
Let us recall N.V. Gogol: “Terrible, terrible is the coming old age, and nothing gives back and forth!”
The staff of the folk theater "Rodnik" of the Suzdal City House of Culture, engaged in dramatic art, at the same time strives to create a museum of the theater, to trace in it the history of the origin and development of theatrical traditions in Suzdal. After all, it is known that even before the revolution, a drama group existed and was popular in a provincial provincial town. They learned that Vasily Ivanovich Kuzmichev was one of its active participants and invited the veteran to the theater drawing room.
A. A. Lebedeva Street(1912-1941). The tragedy occurred on a cold November night in 1941 in the waters of the Baltic Sea. The submarine "L-2" during the performance of a combat mission was blown up by mines, torn off by a storm from a minefield. An hour after the second explosion, she sank. Among the dead was the navigator Lebedev, a native of Suzdal.
“... He left us too young, and this makes our sadness even deeper, our grief even stronger ... - wrote the poet Nikolai Tikhonov. - He fulfilled his duty as a poet, submariner, patriot. And the sea was with him at the last hour…”
Andrey Bogolyubsky
Grand Duke Vladimir Andrei Bogolyubsky (circa 1111-1174) was the son of Yuri Vladimirovich Dolgoruky and the Polovtsian princess, daughter of Khan Aepa Asenevich. Against the will of his father, in 1155 he left Vyshgorod and settled in Vladimir.
From the Vyshgorod convent he took with him the icon of the Mother of God, which later began to be revered as the greatest Russian shrine. On the way to Rostov at night, the Mother of God appeared to the prince in a dream and ordered him to leave the icon in Vladimir. Andrey did just that, and on the site of the vision he built the village of Bogolyubovo, which eventually became his favorite place of residence.
After the death of his father (1157) he became Prince of Vladimir, Rostov and Suzdal. Before an insignificant young town, Vladimir made the capital city of the Rostov-Suzdal Principality.
In 1169, he organized a campaign against the Grand Duke of Kiev Mstislav II Izyaslavich, creating a coalition of 11 princes, whose troops captured and plundered Kyiv, which was the first case in the practice of civil strife between Russian princes. After a three-day siege, the army broke into Kyiv and for the first time in history took it "on the shield." Andrei achieved his goal - ancient Kyiv lost its age-old seniority.
Mikhail Speransky
Mikhail Mikhailovich Speransky (1772-1839), a statesman, closest adviser to Alexander I, author of the plan for liberal reforms, initiator of the creation of the State Council, showed great promise at a young age, therefore, at the Vladimir Diocesan Seminary, he was recorded under the surname Speransky (from the Latin verb spero, sperare hope, hope).
Having entered the service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Speransky proposed his famous "Plan of State Transformations" and in 1808 was appointed Minister of Justice. However, on the eve of the war with Napoleon, which Speransky strongly opposed, Alexander I dismissed him from all posts and exiled him to Nizhny Novgorod, and then to Perm.
Later, Speransky turned to Alexander I with a request for pardon and in 1816 he was appointed governor of Penza, and in 1819 - governor-general of Siberia. From that time on, Speransky resolutely renounced his former liberal views and became an adherent of unlimited autocracy. In 1839 he was elevated to the dignity of a count.
Mikhail Lazarev
The famous Russian naval commander and navigator, member of the Geographical Society, Admiral Mikhail Petrovich Lazarev (1788-1851) was born in Vladimir. Since childhood, he dreamed of becoming a sailor, so his parents assigned him to the Marine Corps.
Among the thirty best midshipmen, Lazarev was sent to sail, where he established himself as "a young man with a sharp mind and well-behaved behavior."
Participated in the Patriotic War of 1812, and then went on a round-the-world expedition to the Arctic Ocean. On January 9, 1821, sailors discovered the island of Peter I, and a week later they approached the mountainous coast, called the coast of Alexander I. Thus, Russian sailors were the first in the world to discover Antarctica.
In 1827, the commander of the Azov, Lazarev, was appointed chief of staff of the squadron. On October 20, 1827, the famous Battle of Navarino took place, in which the Russian, English and French squadrons took part. The Russians bore the brunt of the battle and played a major role in the defeat of the Turkish-Egyptian fleet. For 18 years, Mikhail Petrovich was the commander of the Black Sea Fleet, which under his leadership became the best in Russia.
Sergei Taneev
Russian composer, pianist, musical scientist, teacher Sergei Ivanovich Taneyev (1856-1915) was born in Vladimir into a noble family. Taneyev anticipated many trends in the musical art of the 20th century. At the age of 10, he entered the Moscow Conservatory, where he graduated with a gold medal in piano classes by N. G. Rubinstein and composition by P. I. Tchaikovsky. Taneyev was a favorite student and close friend of Pyotr Ilyich, often a performer of his compositions, as well as their editor and arranger.
In 1885-1888, at the request of Tchaikovsky, Taneyev headed the conservatory. Among the students of Taneyev are composers S. V. Rachmaninov, A. N. Skryabin, N. K. Medtner, S. M. Lyapunov, R. M. Glier, A. T. Grechaninov and many others. Taneyev's legacy as a composer is large in scale and diverse in genres, including opera, symphony, and original vocal lyrics. After the death of N. G. Rubinstein and P. I. Tchaikovsky, Taneyev turned out to be the central figure in musical life - as a teacher, pianist (soloist and excellent ensemble player), conductor, scientist, musician of great outlook, impeccable taste and a person of the highest moral purity.
Vladimir Zworykin
The great scientist, one of the inventors of modern television, a native of Murom Vladimir Kozmich Zworykin (1888-1982) has always been distinguished by an amazing quickness of mind. Zworykin's research activities began at the St. Petersburg Institute of Technology, in the laboratory of Professor B. Rosing, who at that time was working on the problems of television systems. After graduating with honors from the institute in 1912, Zworykin went to Paris, where he studied X-rays under the guidance of P. Langevin. In 1918 Vladimir Kozmich went abroad.
In 1931, he created an outstanding invention - the first iconoscope - a transmitting tube, which made possible the development of television systems.
It is impossible to list all areas of Zworykin's creative activity. Back in 1920, he received a Ph.D. from the University of Pittsburgh, and then a Ph.D. from Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute, and finally became a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and many other academies and learned societies. Zworykin had more than a hundred patents and more than thirty scientific awards.
Karl Türmer
When a boy was born in Germany in 1824 in a poor Türmer family, hardly anyone could have imagined that two centuries later his name would be remembered, and his deeds would be honored in a completely different country - Russia, which became his second homeland.
The outstanding forestry scientist Karl Frantsevich Türmer (1824-1900) received recognition in the scientific world during his lifetime. In the Sudogodsky district, he created an exemplary forestry, for which he was awarded the Imperial Certificate of Honor.
Since 1853, Türmer forever connected his fate with Russia. He began his career in Porechye, at the forest cottage of Count Uvarov in the Moscow region. Khrapovitsky, the owner of the local forests, understood that intensive logging, which brings a lot of income, also requires appropriate follow-up reforestation. And then fate gave the count a meeting with Türmer, who was already famous at that time as a great specialist in the artificial cultivation of forests. Khrapovitsky invited Türmer to his place, and his proposal was accepted. The crown of Türmer's many years of work was the large-scale collection of forest plantations he created, which became for several generations a living testimony of his professional feat.
Yuri Levitan
Yuri Borisovich Levitan (1914-1983) from childhood dreamed of becoming an artist. He loved poetry, theater, singing, and because of his loud voice he received the nickname "Pipe". However, having arrived in Moscow after the 9th grade, he failed the exam at the State Film College (now VGIK). The selection committee did not like his "okay" Vladimir dialect. But in the same year, Yuri Levitan was accepted into the group of trainees of the All-Union Radio Committee. Once, after several months of internship, Yuri was instructed to read an article from Pravda on the radio. It must have happened that at that moment Stalin was at the receiver.
Hearing Levitan, he immediately dialed the phone number of the chairman of the Radio Committee of the USSR and said that the text of his report tomorrow at the XVII Party Congress opening in the morning should be read by the announcer who had just broadcast articles from Pravda. At 12 noon, a sealed package with Stalin's speech was brought to the studio. Levitan, white with excitement, read the sacred text for five hours without making a single mistake. The next day, the nineteen-year-old youth became the chief announcer of the Soviet Union.
In June of the 41st, it was Levitan who read the message about the beginning of the war and then for all four years informed the country about the situation on the fronts. Marshal Rokossovsky once said that Levitan's voice was equivalent to an entire division. And Hitler considered him enemy number one of the Reich (Commander-in-Chief Stalin was number two). 250 thousand marks were promised for Levitan's head, and a special group was preparing to be sent to Moscow to eliminate the announcer. Levitan was the first among the announcers to be awarded the title of People's Artist of the USSR.
Nikolai Kamanin
Military pilot Nikolai Petrovich Kamanin (1909-1982) became famous in February 1934, when he was appointed commander of a mixed detachment of aircraft to rescue the crew and passengers of the Chelyuskin steamer. On the R-5 aircraft, in adverse weather conditions, Kamanin made a group flight Olyutorka-Vankarem with a length of about 2500 km. In 9 flights to the ice floe, he took 34 people out of the ice camp, for which he was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union and the Order of Lenin.
In 1938, Nikolai Petrovich graduated from the N. E. Zhukovsky Air Force Academy, commanded an air brigade. In the first months of the Great Patriotic War, he was engaged in the formation and preparation of aviation formations for their dispatch to the front. From July 1942, Kamanin was commander of the 292nd assault aviation division (Kalinin Front), from February 1943 - commander of the 8th mixed and 5th assault aviation corps (1st and 2nd Ukrainian fronts). Parts under his command liberated Ukraine, Poland, Romania, Hungary, Czechoslovakia. In 1956, Kamanin graduated from the Military Academy of the General Staff. He commanded an air army, since 1958 - deputy chief of the Air Force Main Staff for combat training. Since 1960, he was Assistant Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force for Space, actively participated in the selection and training of the first Soviet cosmonauts. Streets in Moscow, Vladimir and Sevastopol are named after him.
