Continuing the series of materials about the history of Ekaterinodar, we again turn to the topic of lost heritage. One of the places preserving the historical memory of the city is the All Saints Cemetery, where military, government and public figures were buried in the 19th and first half of the 20th centuries. Some graves are historical and architectural monuments, many have been destroyed, and some can no longer be identified. It was here that famous Kuban writers were buried at different times, but it is currently impossible to find their burial places.

Kuban writers of the 19th and early 20th centuries are united by the fact that they wrote in Ukrainian; they were practically never published in Kuban, and their graves are unknown. Especially for the Yuga.ru portal, Vladimir Begunov collected information about five authors, whose biographies and works will be of interest to anyone interested in the history of Kuban.

Captured chieftain

Acting chieftain Yakov Gerasimovich Kukharenko seems to have nothing to complain about. He is considered the first Kuban writer, there is a memorial plaque dedicated to him in Krasnodar, and in the textbook on Kuban studies for the eighth grade, a story about the life and work of the ataman-writer takes up an entire page. And in his former house there is now the Kuban Literary Museum. However, few Kuban residents have read his books, and finding them is problematic. Kukharenko wrote in the Kuban dialect of the Ukrainian language. His most famous creation is the play “Black Sea Life and Being” (this poetic translation by Professor Viktor Chumachenko is closer to the essence of the work than the generally accepted name “Black Sea Life”) - written in 1836. The play was pushed through the censorship committee by Shevchenko, who was delighted with it, and in general the writers had a strong friendship. The play was staged in Yekaterinodar three years later. This is a comedy with a classic love triangle: Marusya loves Ivan, but he must go with the Cossacks on a campaign against the highlanders. At this time, the girl's mother wants to marry her to a rich old Cossack.

Even before the ataman position, Yakov Kukharenko, in collaboration with Alexander Turenko, wrote the first historical work about the Kuban Cossacks: “Reviews of historical facts about the Black Sea army.” The monograph was ordered by the military chancellery in 1834, but the text was published more than half a century later in the magazine “Kiev Antiquity”. In the century before last, the ataman’s essay “Plastuny” was popular. Here is a fragment from this essay translated by Arkady Slutsky:

“In addition to hunting with a gun, plastuns set all sorts of traps: traps, wooden traps<…>The plastun does not know luxury, he is dressed haphazardly, he hangs around, he is in poverty, but he does not give up his plastining. Tall reeds, broken trees, and in some places bushes protect it. One sees the sky in the floodplains, and even how it looks up; by the clear stars at night he knows his way. In bad weather, gloom - in the wind, which bends the high tops of the reeds. The best hunting is in the wind, both day and night. The wind blows - there is a noise, the reeds rustle, the plastun goes on without hiding. The wind has died down - the soldier has stopped and listens.”

On September 17, 1862, a group of highlanders attacked Kukharenko, who went without an escort to Stavropol. The ataman, wounded twice in the skirmish, was captured. While the mountaineers were bargaining with the Cossacks for a ransom, sixty-three-year-old Kukharenko died of blood loss. The army bought the body of their ataman from the highlanders, and he was buried with honors at the All Saints Cemetery in Yekaterinodar. At the end of the 19th century, relatives reburied Kukharenko’s ashes on Fortress Square in the fence of the Resurrection Church. During the construction of the buildings of the regional clinical hospital named after. Ochapovsky in the 1960s, the churchyard was demolished, and the bones of the first settlers of Ekaterinodar dug out of the ground were taken to a landfill.

Escape from prison

The most talented Kuban author of the 19th century was Vasily Mova. He wrote in Ukrainian under the pseudonym Limansky. Unlike Kukharenko, the Soviet government had nothing to do with the loss of Mova’s burial place. Back in 1910, the Ukrainian poet Mikhailo Obidny made a literary pilgrimage to Yekaterinodar, but was unable to find the writer’s grave at the All Saints Cemetery. Offensive then wrote indignant lines about the unworthy attitude of the city residents towards the memory of the writer.

Vasily Mova was born in 1842 into a Cossack family on the Sladky Liman farm in the Kanevsky district. Here lie the origins of his pseudonym - Limansky. After graduating from the gymnasium, Mova, among several especially capable students, was sent by the Kuban Cossack Army to study at Kharkov University at public expense. But the future writer was not in the mood for science. Due to frequent absences from classes, at some point the army refused to continue paying for the careless student’s education. Even during his student life, Vasily Mova began to actively publish in the press. Upon returning to Yekaterinodar, he worked as a forensic investigator, devoting his free time to literature.

The story “From Our Rodenki (From the Memoirs of a Seminarian)” is one of the few works written in Russian for the Russian-language newspaper “Kharkov”. Here is a fragment from it with the author's punctuation:

“The next day the chisel was delivered to me. Every night I hollowed out the wall, and by morning I covered it lightly with bricks, covered it with clay and covered it with a bed. At four in the morning the matter was over. Now all that remains is to figure out how to get out of the gate. The prospectors took care of this too. Our prisoners carried flour to the bakery, and the ready-made coolies often stood under a canopy—it was through these coolies that the whole thing happened. I carefully crawled out at night, poured half of the flour into the garbage pit, climbed with the bag into the darkest corner and climbed into it there and waited with fear for the morning. This night lasted a long time, I will remember it all my life<…>Dawn appeared<…>Soon they carried me away, me and the sacks of flour. My comrade groaned under me, I felt stuffy: flour got into my mouth and nose, so I almost sneezed twice; at the very gate, a soldier foolishly hit me with his butt, I almost screamed again. They brought the bags and dumped them in the pantry<…>I wait an hour, wait another - there is no one! And the flour is suffocating, the bags are mercilessly pressing on all sides - my death and that’s all! I heard the door creak, someone coughed and said: “Well, you living torment, turn around.”

In 1933, Stepan Erastov, a pensioner from Krasnodar, died in Sukhum. The body of the deceased was brought home and buried in the All Saints Cemetery. In Krasnodar, perhaps he would not have lived to see his age. Erastov was a revolutionary, in tsarist times he spent four years in Siberian exile, but it was not the socialist revolutionaries, in whose ranks he was a member, who came to power in Russia, but the communists. The attitude towards the former Socialist Revolutionary would hardly be tolerant.

However, the writer’s literary heritage is valuable not only and not so much for the author’s revolutionary biography. Stepan Ivanovich Erastov was born in 1856 in Yekaterinodar, in the family of a Russian priest and a Kuban Cossack woman. He studied at the Stavropol gymnasium, and then at Kiev and St. Petersburg universities - in both cities the police considered him unreliable because of his social circle, since even then he was in close contact with Narodnaya Volya members.

In addition to his active political activities, Erastov was an excellent writer of everyday life and promoted the Ukrainian language and culture. He dedicated his memoirs to his hometown. They were published in the magazines “Native Kuban” and “Kuban: Problems of Culture and Informatization” (magazine of the Krasnodar Institute of Culture).

Erastov, like Kukharenko and Mova, wrote in Ukrainian. Here is a fragment from “Memoirs of an old Ekaterinodar resident.” The translation was made by a group of linguists led by Viktor Chumachenko:

“However, I loved the Old Bazaar and had my joys there. As a child, I wandered around the bazaar and listened to the music of the bazaar hubbub and sounds. The traders invited me to their tents, luring me with delicious gingerbread cookies, poppies, and pickles; the sweet lovers loudly called out: “Come on, those sweet lovers! Come on those sweet lovers!”, which immediately hissed in the fragrant oil in the frying pan. (Oh, I wish I had a sweet tooth now...). And there they offered borscht with lard, pies with liver; bagel makers squeal in thin voices about bagels with poppy seeds, fishermen sedately point to huge piles of ram, chabak and other fish; the gypsies loudly praise their goods. Each to their own. And all this formed into a dense vocal group, creating a kind of music. And I especially loved the time before evening, when the sun was setting and when working people from all over the market gathered for rest and dinner. Tired people sat in groups on benches or on the ground and had a leisurely, quiet conversation. And I looked at the tired, mustachioed faces and listened to the conversations.”

The hunted philanthropist

Another unknown grave at the All Saints Cemetery belongs to the poet and writer Yakov Zharko, who also wrote in Ukrainian. In 1912, in the collection “Ekaterinodars”, Zharko ridiculed the city duma and local officials with satirical poems. After Fyodor's death, Kovalenko became director of the art gallery. In 1928, when the Museum of the Revolution was organized in Krasnodar, Zharko donated his collection of icons to the Christian religion department.

In the 30s, the poet was persecuted by the OGPU. Zharko’s son was sent to the camps to build the White Sea Canal, Yakov Vasilyevich himself was subjected to arrests and searches several times, during which many of his manuscripts were lost. Zharko, along with Erastov and Petliura, was a member of the revolutionary Ukrainian party. This happened, however, before the revolution, but the security officers were of little interest in this detail. The poet spent several weeks in a Krasnodar prison, where investigators tried to extort confessions of espionage and counter-revolutionary activities from him. Zharko was released, but his heart could not stand it, and he soon died.

Yakov Zharko's books were never translated into Russian. The smallest ones were published in literary magazines and anthologies. For example, an autobiography written at the end of his life for a collection of poems, which at the last moment they decided not to publish. Here is a fragment from it, where the author recalls his youth at the end of the 19th century:

“I completed my apprenticeship at a paramedic school and received the right to work as a teacher. I dreamed of settling somewhere in a village and living among the common people. But it didn't work! — the governor “did not approve the position.” I lived with my father. Father and mother were getting old. I coughed. They didn't let me go anywhere. Mom experienced so much grief, the death of her children, and therefore did not want to listen to me going somewhere. They bought a cow... They fed me and gave me warm milk until I wanted... Maybe that’s why I’m still alive” (“About Myself”, 1933).

The unpublished story about the White Sea Canal

Perhaps Tikhon Strokun also rests somewhere in the All Saints Cemetery. He was a poet-bandura player who performed songs on regional radio in the 30s of the 20th century. Strokun played a huge fifty-string bandura and made these musical instruments himself. Contemporaries called him an outstanding bandura player. In 1931, he graduated from the Faculty of Ukrainian Philology of the Krasnodar Pedagogical Institute, taught Ukrainian language and literature, published poetry and prose in Ukrainian. In 1933, he was arrested and sentenced to ten years in the camps for counter-revolutionary activities. Like Zharko’s son, Strokun built the White Sea Canal during his imprisonment. Tikhon Strokun returned to Krasnodar only after the war, working as a Russian language teacher and librarian. His criminal file contains a book about the construction of the White Sea Canal, written in the zone. At one time, fragments from it and notes from the case were prepared for publication, but it never came to publication.

Professor Viktor Chumachenko, who read the manuscript, says:

“The story ended with a scene where the prisoners are standing on the shore, the first steamer is sailing along the waters of the White Sea Canal, and they are shouting: “Glory to Comrade Stalin! Glory to Comrade Yagoda!” Strokun, like many, believed that if he wrote such a panegyric to the leaders, he would be released.”

By the way, the KGB archive also revealed the pseudonym unknown to literary scholars under which Tikhon Strokun published - Uncle Gavrila.

The author of the article was unable to find Strokun’s name in the archival lists of the All Saints Cemetery. The official list of burials ends on January 3, 1965; Tikhon Strokun died on July 20 of the same year. Whether he was buried with his relatives after the cemetery was closed or his grave is located in the then only open Slavic Cemetery is unknown.

They also tried to find the poet’s surname using the lists of burials compiled in 1985-1986 by the custodian of the All Saints Cemetery from the words of relatives. These lists are in the city archives. But it is unlikely that it is possible to master 41 handwritten volumes filled in haphazardly, sometimes with illegible handwriting. So at the moment there is no clear evidence of the poet’s resting place.

Huge trees are destroying the gravestones of the All Saints Cemetery with their roots, everything is overgrown with grass, and desolation reigns in the graveyard. Perhaps in a few years there will be nothing left to save. The graves of the writers discussed in this article may no longer be found, but other ancient tombstones may be lost, reminiscent of people whose lives became part of the city's history.

The Krasnodar writers' organization was created by a resolution of the secretariat of the USSR Writers' Union dated August 8, 1947 and a decision of the regional committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks dated September 5, 1947.

Kuban poets for you

The best words were saved.

K. Oboishchikov

Oboishchikov Kronid Aleksandrovich

He was born on April 10, 1920 on the Don land, in the village of Tatsinskaya. At the age of ten he moved with his parents to Kuban. Lived in the village of Bryukhovetskaya, the cities of Kropotkin, Armavir, Novorossiysk. The first poem, “The Death of the Stratostratus,” was published in the newspaper “Armavir Commune” in 1936, when Kronid Aleksandrovich was in the eighth grade. After graduating from school, he worked in the port, at a grain elevator. But I always dreamed of becoming a pilot. His dream came true in 1940, he graduated from the Krasnodar Aviation School.

From the first day of the Great Patriotic War, he took part in battles on the Southwestern Front, then, as part of an air regiment of the Northern Fleet, he covered caravans of Allied ships. “...I had to fly over the taiga in winter and summer, sometimes in very difficult weather conditions. You can believe me that even then the bright creative talent of our recognized regimental poet Kronid Oboishchikov helped solve all these complex problems,” recalls Alexey Uranov, State Prize laureate. During the war, Kronid Aleksandrovich made forty-one combat missions. He devoted two difficult decades to military aviation, fulfilling his duty as a defender of the Motherland with courage, dignity and honor.

His first collection of poems, “Anxious Happiness,” was published in Krasnodar in 1963. In the same year he became a member of the Union of Journalists of the USSR, and in 1968 - a member of the Union of Writers of the USSR. In total, the poet published 21 collections of poetry, seven of which were for children. Many songs were written based on Oboyshchikov's poems by composers Grigory Ponomarenko, Viktor Ponomariov, Sergei Chernobay, Vladimir Magdalits.

Kronid Aleksandrovich's poems have been translated into Adyghe, Ukrainian, Estonian, Tatar and Polish.

He is one of the authors and compilers of the collective collections “Kuban Glorious Sons”, dedicated to the Kuban Heroes of the Soviet Union, and the albums “Golden Stars of Kuban”, for which in 2000 he was accepted as an honorary member of the Regional Association of Heroes of the Soviet Union, Russia and full holders of the order Glory.

The main theme of his works is the courage and heroism of pilots, front-line brotherhood, the beauty of the earth and human souls.

(Students reading K. Oboishchikov’s poem “Pedestrian Bunny”)

Belyakov Ivan Vasilievich

Belyakov was born on December 8, 1915 in the village of Mokry Maidan, Gorky Region, then moved with his family to the city of Gorky. In 1938 he entered the M. Gorky Literary Institute in Moscow. And when the Great Patriotic War began, Ivan Vasilyevich, without hesitation, left the 3rd year of the institute to go to the front. In 1947, after demobilization, Ivan Vasilyevich came to Kuban. He worked for the newspapers “Sovetskaya Kuban” and “Komsomolets Kubani”. One after another, his books, collections of songs, poems, and fairy tales were published. He is published in the newspapers “Pionerskaya Pravda”, “Literary Gazette”, magazines “Znamya”, “Friendly Guys”, “Young Naturalist”, “Koster”, “Murzilka”, “Crocodile”, “Ogonyok”, “Don”.

In 1957, Belyakov was admitted to the Union of Writers of the USSR.

All the poet's works have a children's theme. A combat officer who went through a cruel, bloody war, began to write kind, bright books for children about “blue-eyed boys”, about “little Larisa”, who has “freckled stars and freckles on her face.” He became a children's poet. He wanted boys and girls to know about their dead peers who never had time to mature and grow up. This is what prompted the poet to write poems about the Kuban Cossack Petya Chikildin from the detachment of the famous Kochubey, and about Kolya Pobirashko, a young intelligence officer from the village of Shabelsky.

Many of I. Belyakov’s poems glorify the beauty of nature. Her eternal voice is heard in them: the sound of water, wind, the hubbub of birds, the whisper of a ripening field, the whole rainbow of flowers of the steppe expanse is seen.

« MY SONG" V. Nesterenko

Summer walks barefoot

On the heated ground.

Straight to the fast river

Summer rushes by at noon.

Splashes in the river for a long time,

Laughing, he plays with the ball

And with me on the sand

Summer is sunbathing.
