Wladimir Fjodorowitsch Tendryakov ( Russian Владимир Фёдорович Тендряков , scientific transliteration Vladimir Fëdorovič Tendryakov , born December 5, 1923 in Makarowskaja , Vologda Oblast ; † August 3, 1984 in Moscow ) was a Russian writer . He is an important representative of the thaw period in Soviet literature.

Life

In 1942 Tendryakov became a radio operator of an infantry regiment of the Red Army during World War II on the front between Don and Donets and later on the Stalingrad front . He was seriously wounded in the fighting on the steppe front around Kharkov in 1943. In January 1944 he was demobilized and made his first unsuccessful attempts as an author. After his recovery he worked as a teacher for pre-military training in Kirov Oblast and was an official in the youth association . After a year of study at the Moscow Film School , he moved to the Gorky Institute in Moscow. From 1946 to 1951 he studied literature with Konstantin Paustowski . While studying, he began writing short stories, some of which were published in the Russian illustrated magazine Ogonyok between 1948 and 1953 . From 1955 he worked as a professional writer. Many of his novellas and stories first appeared in literary magazines such as Nowy Mir . They were very popular with the audience because it also addressed social problems and conflicts. Although he had been a member of the CPSU since 1948 , he did not receive high honors and was criticized by a Moscow writers' meeting in 1957. In the following years he was exposed to repeated criticism from the party. Some of his works could only appear after his death.

Literary work

Constantly recurring motifs in his works are the handling of individual guilt and the tension between personal decisions of conscience and social responsibility. Often it is also about the self-discovery processes of young people, in which the protagonists are torn out of their usual everyday life by unexpected events: In The Night After the Graduation Ceremony (Ночь после выпуска) the top of the class criticizes the school system in her closing speech , contrary to the expectations of the audience, that does not enable you to make independent decisions. In The Reckoning (Расплата) , the young Kolja shoots his father, who had previously tyrannized the family. The underlying conflicts that lead to these incidents are worked out by Tendryakov. It becomes clear that interpersonal relationships are complex and that mutual expectations are often disappointed and good intentions are rarely rewarded. So it says in the novel Lunar Eclipse (Затмение) , which deals with the failure of a romantic relationship: "People pay for mutual understanding with blood and pieces of their lives."

In Drei, Sieben, As, Tendryakov takes up quotes from classical Russian literature: “In Hermann's imagination, the image of the dead old woman was soon replaced by Three, Seven and As.” He also adopts Dostoyevsky's guilt and atonement maxim : “You shouldn't kill."

Tendryakov often shows social problems using examples of people who represent different values. Conflicts are exacerbated by bureaucracy and intrigue. Many of Tendryakov's stories have an open or, especially in his late work, a pessimistic ending.
