For the most part, the descendants of famous figures of Russian culture adhere to an ordinary lifestyle, like other citizens of our country. Tatiana Nikitichna Tolstaya is a harmful and intelligent woman. Critics attribute these personality traits to the influence of genetics. Tanya's grandfather is a classic of Soviet literature, author of the novel "Peter the First".
Big family
In folk art, and among professional writers writing on the topic of pair relations, there is a volatile expression that a husband and wife are one Satan. The biography of Tatyana Nikitichna Tolstoy convincingly confirms this simple truth. The girl was born into a large family, where she was surrounded by six brothers and sisters. Today one can only dream of living in such an environment. And in the early fifties of the 20th century, this was common. Each child of the Tolstoy family living in Leningrad was unique and inimitable in its own way.
Having received a certificate of maturity, Tanya entered the local university at the philological department. It is no secret that Latin and Greek were taught in the gymnasium of the pre-revolutionary period. It is not hard to guess how the girl, who learned to read early, had a desire to learn these languages. Here, within the walls of Leningrad University, Andrei Lebedev learned the wisdom of classical philology. Student love grew into a stable family union. Some experts complain that the writer's personal life does not meet modern standards. There are no public scandals with divorce and division of property. There are no lovers either.
Having received a specialized education in 1974, the family of young professionals moved to Moscow. Working at the Nauka Publishing House is not fun, because you have to read and edit other people's texts. At the same time, skills are being developed, without which it is impossible to engage in publishing. The potential of knowledge and factual material is accumulated, sufficient to start your own creativity or writing. This is who will like it. The accumulated experience became the basis for the article "With glue and scissors", which was published on the pages of the journal "Voprosy literatury".
Flights across the ocean
It should be emphasized that Tatyana Nikitichna's writing career is developing quite successfully. In the wake of criticism of the Soviet system, her works were greeted with delight both by critics and readers from the intelligentsia. To gain the positive that is missing in their native land, Tatyana Nikitichna and her husband go to the United States. Much has been written about how this country lives in different ways. Almost every film that was filmed at that time by domestic directors extolled America and enthusiastically blasphemed their native country.
For almost ten years, with short breaks and pauses, the writer has lived and worked in the States. And at some point, she said, she felt satiated with the American lifestyle. In order not to lose her own identity, Tatyana Nikitichna returns to her “native aspen trees”. And already here he writes his cult novel "Kys". Critics did not agree on what the writer painted in her work. Is this her wish to descendants? Or a warning? The author avoids clarification.
Soon after his return, Tolstaya becomes the co-host of the TV show "School of Scandal". And again, the viewer forms a strong impression that the subject of slander is Russian culture and history. The popular writer does not waste her talent and energy. She writes a lot, publishes and prints in periodicals. Life and creativity continues.
