Literary Association Lito. Literary clubs and associations of post-Soviet Russia
Head of LITO LETI - Mikhalevich Alla Iosifovna, Doctor of Biology, member of the leadership of the St. Petersburg Union of Writers, Woman of the Year - 2009.
The literary association of St. Petersburg Electrotechnical University "LETI" (LITO LETI) in its modern form has existed since 1973. It was created by the best (according to A.S. Kushner) of contemporary Russian poets, the chairman of the poetry section of the St. Petersburg Writers' Union - Alexander Tankov when he was still a third-year student in the specialty "Applied Mathematics". Tankov still supervises our LITO today, comes to our classes, instructs, shares his experience, ordains the next consul (i.e., “headman”) of our LITO, as students grow up, and according to the charter, only a student of LETI can be a consul.
There are very few universities in St. Petersburg that have literary associations. Almost everywhere they break up almost immediately, while everywhere they develop very successfully, sometimes even several in one university, theatrical associations, piano circles, solo and choral singing, ballroom and historical ballroom dancing. And it's wonderful! This speaks of a real renaissance of Russian culture! At all times, a sign of a decent and cultured person was a love for the theater. Almost all good people not only loved the theater, but also took part in amateur performances. In the same way, musicality and the ability to dance have always been an indispensable element of culture. At the same time, the ability to write poetry and fiction has never and nowhere (with the exception of China) been considered an obligatory attribute of a decent and cultured person:
Having no high passion
For the sounds of life do not spare,
He could not iambic from a chorea,
No matter how we fought, to distinguish.
The word is the shrine of the human soul, the basis of the universe, the root cause of the material world, and it is impossible to engage in the art of the word unprofessionally. There are no amateur literary associations!
The fact is that in order to engage in other types of art, even at an amateur level, training is still necessary. A person who has never been trained in sculpture will not be able, for the first time in his life, to pick up a chisel and sculpt a statue of Apollo. A person who has never been involved in a theatrical association will not be able, upon entering the stage for the first time in his life, immediately, without any preparation, to play the role of Hamlet. A person who has never learned to play the piano cannot, for the first time in his life, go up to the piano, sit down and play the Appassionata. At the same time, a person who has never been involved in any literary association can write (though not very professionally) and good poem and a good story. Nobody needs amateur literary associations. There is another side to this issue. All creative associations of a technical university, except for a literary association, are always amateur. In principle, they cannot produce professionals. Only the Academy of Arts graduates professional sculptors, only the Theater School or the Institute of Culture graduates professional artists, only a conservatory can graduate a professional conductor, but not LETI. At the same time, neither the Faculty of Philology of St. Petersburg State University, nor the Literary Institute named after V.I. M. Gorky in Moscow. They become professionals, members of the Writers' Union as a result of many years of hard literary work in the creative environment of one or another literary association. “A poet is made, talent, labor and poetic culture” (V. E. Kholshevnikov, Fundamentals of Poetry). Most professional writers are engineers (Valery Popov, Alexander Tankov), officers (Mikhail Lermontov, Leo Tolstoy, Afanasy Fet and many others), doctors (Anton Chekhov, Vikenty Veresaev), lawyers (Aleksey Apukhtin), historians (David Raskin) , geographers and artists (Irina Znamenskaya), biologists (Alla Mikhalevich), etc. There are, of course, philologists among them (Alexander Blok, Galina Gamper), but the percentage of philologists who have become writers is no more than the percentage of specialists in other fields who have become professional writers. We must always remember that the Word occupies a completely different position in our consciousness than the chisel, brush, bow.
All other creative teams in technical university can only be amateur, while a literary association can only be professional, or not at all. And here, just as in the ancient and eastern medieval philosophical schools, the personality of the Teacher, his poetic culture, his professionalism, his own talent, as well as the place that he occupies in modern poetry, are very important. Otherwise, the literary association is doomed and inevitably breaks up. There can be no amateur attitude towards poetry, it will not be art, it will be profanity, and students, with their clear mind and with a pure heart they feel this very well and they stop going to such “literary associations”. That is why these literary associations are disintegrating everywhere, except for LETI.
During the last period of work of LITO LETI (the third millennium from R.Kh.), LITO members published:
- Four issues of the almanac "Golden Thread" (I - 2005, II - 2006, III - 2007, IV - 2009);

- A lot of publications in the newspapers "Electric" and "Prof.com this", in the almanac "Metronome. Aptekarsky Island” and other almanacs, collective collections and periodicals;
- Two volumes of the almanac "Fleece" (2012).
LITO LETI member Svyatoslav Ternov was admitted to the Writers' Union of Russia. LITO LETI member Vera Chigarina was admitted to the St. Petersburg Union of Writers in 2013. In 2014 Kaleriya Sokolova, a member of LITO LETI, will be admitted to the St. Petersburg Union of Writers. Ksenia Ranchina and Anton Pogrebnyak are also fully prepared for entry and will soon enter the St. Petersburg Union of Writers.
In the classes of LITO LETI there always reigns such a bright atmosphere of creative friendliness, which can not be found in every literary association of our city. At the same time, our literary association does not have any qualifications for education or the starting level of a participant, unlike most other LITOs. We believe that the starting level and talent of a participant are two things that are in no way connected with each other and are ready to teach everyone from scratch, carefully preserving the grains of his talent and personality, even if the participant is still completely tongue-tied. Our goal is to help everyone be themselves, to help them say what they want. Unfortunately, in very many literary associations, instead, they do something completely different - each member is “broken” under the head of the association. How long, for example, have Kushner's students been called "kushners"? If such a way of learning gives a person professionalism, then at too high a price, at the price of abandoning one's "I". Nobody needs this at all!
We are grateful to the energy and unbending goodwill of Alexander Tankov - certainly the first among modern Russian poets, in the literal sense of the word, the keeper and bearer best traditions great Russian poetry.
We invite everyone who is interested in art, criticism, or just likes to listen to conversations about literature over tea, to our meetings in the new academic year 2014 - 2015 and wish everyone creative success and ever new happiness.
In the spring of 2011, I was offered the leadership of the literary association "Test of Writing" at the library named after F. I. Tyutchev. The chief librarian Anna Nikolaevna Smirnitskaya approached me with such a proposal, saying that the association had existed for a year and had even released its first almanac, Chongarsky Boulevard.
At the first meetings of the members of the literary association, I got to know everyone, got to know people, their interests and creative search. Gradually, a working, friendly and pleasant atmosphere arose. To date, the literary association "Test of the Pen" is 5 years old.
This year, the fourth issue of the almanac "Chongarsky Boulevard" was published, and at the competition in the Moscow city organization of the Union of Writers of Russia, the third issue was awarded the medal named after M. Yu. Lermontov. For all the members of our association, this was very good news. And now you can talk about them, not all of them, of course, because now the literary association includes more than 40 people, but I will say a few words about the most interesting ones, and they will share their opinion about our association.
Lyudmila Alexandrovna Solodchenko, a member of the Writers' Union of Russia, is still the only one in our association, but certainly by right! She has published several of her poetry collections, both for children and adults. He takes part in various activities of the library, and perfectly reads his poems from the stage. A philologist by education.
Vyacheslav Vasilyevich Prikhodkin has been writing poetry since his youth, published in various collections and almanacs. A nuclear engineer by training. What is our association for him, where did he come from the day of its foundation? Here is his opinion: “Work is well organized in conducting classes, in helping participants improve their level and ability to write poetry and prose, to learn the basics of versification. On the days of presentations of author's works, their evaluation is given, correction of individual lines, expressions and replacement of dictionary combinations is proposed.
Evgenia Viktorovna Dorogova writes prose, mostly memories of her long and interesting life. Evgenia Viktorovna is a doctor by education, but what is interesting is that now she is helping her a lot to overcome her ailments. creative work at computer. Starts to write, and the state of health is normalized. Her opinion about our association: “Creativity is the highest function of the brain. Creativity unites people of different professions and ages. Our association raises the cultural level of the residents of the Nagorny District of the Southern District of Moscow.” That's so global!
Vyacheslav Leonidovich Druzhechkov has been writing poetry for almost 20 years, has published his own book, and is published in various collections and almanacs. Vyacheslav Leonidovich is a former military man. About our association he says: “A literary association is a spring human soul radiating love and glorifying the beauty of the world around. LITO connects the multitude creative people, united by one goal - to preserve Russian literature with all their might, the memory of the great writers who created our mentality, our special content of the Russian soul.
Zinaida Petrovna Belina writes poetry and prose, and has published several of her books. An engineer by education. What does she say about our association? “Our association is 5 years old - children's age, sadovsky, but it feels like we have grown. Classes allow you to share creativity and feel your level in comparison with others, and pull yourself up or compete. We do not stand still, we develop culturally by attending various events led by our organizers.”
Rafail Iosifovich Gindin after the war served in fighter aviation, holder of medals for work on the labor front. He has a musical education, worked for thirty years at the Mosconcert, traveled all over the Soviet Union and other countries, laureate international competitions. Such a rich and varied life. Of course, Rafail Iosifovich has something to remember and tell his descendants. He writes memoirs.
Lydia Nikolaevna Kibkalo went through the horrors and trials of the Great Patriotic War. By profession a civil engineer. Writes memoirs, in verse and prose. Lidia Nikolaevna published her collections, in the publication of one of them she was provided with creative and organizational assistance by Anna Nikolaevna and I, because Lidia Nikolaevna, due to her age, does not leave the house, and often gets sick.
Ninel Nikolaevna Babikova comes from Siberia, so her poems are often dedicated to this amazing land, where strong, reliable people live, worthy of poetic lines. And the fact that Ninel Nikolaevna from a family of hereditary officers explains the patriotic orientation of her poems. This extraordinary woman is always fit, elegantly dressed and young! About our association, Ninel Nikolaevna says: “Our LITO gave me an incentive, a desire to write poetry, to learn how to express thoughts correctly. Before, I didn’t even know that I would be able to write sometime. My work was far from literature. In LITO I get positive emotions, communication with members of our association is a pleasure.”
Valentina Vasilievna Terekhina, a civil engineer, was born in the Ryazan region in a large family, where her mother and other relatives write poetry. She herself began to write relatively recently, lyrical, spiritual and social poems.
Laura Veselova came to our association recently, because she began to compose poetry recently. But I have already written so much that it turned out to be a good book. It’s just that Laura is such a person by nature: she does everything energetically and efficiently. You can’t say about her that she is a grandmother, so bright, active - a real optimist! ..
I told only about some of the members of our association of the older generation who are already retired, and for many of them the active life of the literary association and the library named after F.I. Tyutchev with her events and holidays - support and support. We are greatly supported by the Moscow city organization of the Union of Writers of Russia.
We will have to tell about other members of our association next time. Such a literary association lives its active life and the life of the library No. 165 named after F. I. Tyutchev. We are grateful to the library management, in particular Tatyana Viktorovna Filippova, for supporting our undertakings, for such a cozy and hospitable home. And, of course, we ourselves are happy to take part in such events as Library Night, anniversary evenings of the classics of Russian and foreign literature.

literary associations
associations of writers, which are based on the unity of political and ideological attitudes, but often there are associations of a more random order. Literary associations are an integral feature of literary life. They facilitate the exchange of experience among their members, facilitate the publication of their literary output, and finally endow them with a special caste isolation among the exploiting classes. The concept "O. l." should not be confused with the concept of "lit-th direction", which implies a complete unity of fundamental creative principles. However, literary schools and. l. are interconnected - in the latter, the creative cadres of certain literary schools are formed (cf. for example, the meaning of "Arzamas" for the formation of sentimental-romantic trends in Russian poetry of 1810-1820). Forms O. l. may be different, depending on the degree of adhesion of their participants. Some of them are united by an extremely weak connection; such is eg. the vast majority of aristocratic salons of the 18th century. O.'s diametrically opposite form of l. represent those circles, which were grouped in the 50-90s. of the last century around the editorial offices of the most prominent magazines - Moskvityanin, Sovremennik, Russkoye Slovo, Otechestvennye Zapiski, etc. In essence, these latter are associations in the proper sense of the word, since they are based on the unity of political and ideological attitudes. O. l. both democratic and aristocratic writers are already characteristic of ancient literature; Let us compare, for example, those who stood out in Rome in the II century. BC association of supporters of the mass comedy of Plautus and the supporters of Terentius opposing him. The most famous was the association of Roman poets of the 1st century. BC, which included Virgil, Horace, Propertius and others. The patronage that the noble Maecenas provided to this association gave the name to a common phenomenon in literary life - patronage (see). In an era of the early Middle Ages O. l. there was almost none; one can still point to the Academy of Poets who wrote in Latin created by Charlemagne. Later, in the heyday of feudal-knightly poetry)
