Dmitry Isakov is a man of a short but very interesting fate. In Russia, many are known as a passionate lover of rock music, the creator of a synthesizer. Readers will remember him as a talented science fiction writer.
Creator of the synthesizer "Alice"
Dmitry Mikhailovich Bodun is the name of the writer, which was given to him at birth. Was born in 1958 on March 1. In many open sources, the biography of Dmitry Isakov begins with a story about his labor activity at the musical instrument factory, which was located in Lyubertsy.
Dmitry worked as an engineer at this plant.
Designed musical equipment. In Soviet times, this was a rare and worthy occupation. According to his contemporaries, Dmitry was a fan of his work. Confirmation of this can be found in his collection of synthesizers.
Isakov was the first who designed a synthesizer in the Soviet Union, calling it "Alice". This tool was widely used in the country for 7 years (1984-1991). The device "Alice" was highly appreciated by the musicians of that time. It went down in the history of musical technology as one of the best made in Russia. In the archives of music, there are many recordings on which this instrument sounds. Dmitry Bodun himself was an excellent keyboard player, a great lover of rock music.
Writing career
The country recognized Isakov as a writer in the early nineties. But before, while living in Moscow, he worked at the "Interface" publishing house, where he was the chief compiler of a series of children's books called "Solnyshkin's Library". Isakov's first works were different from what they wrote earlier in the Soviet Union. His collection "Shark-Eaten" is a mix of American fiction, Hollywood thriller and the idealism of Soviet fiction. The country was changing, interests and attitudes toward literature were changing. Isakov's work was appreciated by a reader who loved science fiction. The book with unusual prose, humor and storytelling dynamics was in demand among the reader.
Boycott
But, unfortunately, the author's first success remained the only one. Having written a sequel - "Shark-eaten -2", Isakov introduced into his novel heroes who repeated the characters of the already well-known and very readable book by John Tolkien "The Lord of the Rings". Against the background of the popularity of the book and its famous author, Isakov's novel looked like a mockery of the work. He was boycotted and refused to publish his works. But, despite this failure, Dmitry continues to write no less interesting stories, micro-stories, anthologies, novels ("Good guys! Help!", "How suckers are bred!", "About people who love dogs", "About Bondarchuk elephants!" "," The Magic Power of Art "," Fairy Tale "and many others). His work is in demand. The works are read and republished to this day. They are interesting, they have a lot of humor and kindness.
Care
The personal life of the writer is little known. Those who knew Dmitry Isakov and his work well remember him as a kind, sympathetic, cheerful, slightly grumpy person. For the last few years of his short life, he was seriously ill. He died in February 2009.
