Life

childhood

Mykola Winhranowsky was born in Pervomajsk. The family home was attached to a poultry farm where the parents worked. In later years the family moved to the Bogopol District. He graduated from high school at the school there.

Studies and employment

After graduating from high school, he studied directing at the National University of Theater, Film and Television in Kiev. It was there that he met Oleksandr Dowschenko . Along with Sergei Eisenstein and Vsevolod Pudokin, he is considered to be one of the most important directors of early Soviet film. Dowschenko greatly influenced the further artistic work of Winhranowsky. Winhranowsky's classmates included Giorgi Schengelaia and Otar Iosseliani . Winhranowsky graduated in 1960 and then played his first role in the film Flaming Years , which tells the events in Ukraine during World War II from the perspective of a common soldier. The script was written by his teacher Dowschenko. In the following years he worked in various positions at different workplaces and at the same time published poems that were edited in anthologies. From 1962 to 1963 he worked as an actor in the Dowschenko film studios. He also made his literary debut Nuclear Preludes ( Атомні прелюди ). From 1964 to 1965 he was director of the Odessa film studio and then changed jobs again in 1965. He first became an editor and then director of the Kiev Dovchenko film studios. These two film studios are the largest film production facilities in Ukraine.

death

Winhranowsky died in 2004 after a long illness. He was buried in the Baikowe cemetery in Kiev .

Services

Acting and directing

Even before he published his first volume of poetry, Winhranowsky worked as an actor. He made his debut in the film Flammende Jahre, whose script was written by the director Oleksandr Dowschenko. Dowschenko's work often deals with topics such as homeland and Ukrainian traditions, as well as their decay, which Winhranowsky should also become central themes in his literary and cinematic works. Just like Dowschenko, who even received the Stalin Prize for the film Shchors , Winhranowsky found some of his works to be recognized by the state and others to be rejected.

Poetry

Winhranowsky processed a wide variety of styles in his poems. He was interested in classical sonnets and elegies as well as Japanese haikus . He wrote poems both in hexameters and in free verse. Typically his poems deal with the themes of nature and society. Animals, birds, plants and water play an important role in terms of motifs. The conflict between civilization and nature finds its strongest expression in the story of "Siromanets" from 1977.

Here is a text example from the poem Poplar :

Коли засне, немов дитя шалене,
Глибоке місто неспокійним сном,
Вона приходить здалелеку до
мелев приходить

In sleep, like a crazy child,
deep in the city in restless sleep
It comes to me from afar
And rustles under my window.

(German transliteration:
"Glyboke misto nespokijnym snom,
Vona prichodyt` zdaleku do mene
I šelestit` do mene pid viknom")

From 1989 to 1993 he was President of the Ukrainian branch of the PEN Writers' Association
