In the twentieth century, interest in poetry reached incredible proportions. Rimma Kazakova found herself at the forefront of the processes taking place in society. Her poems reflect the dreams and aspirations of people who were looking for ways to a brighter future.
Childhood
The famous Soviet poet Rimma Fedorovna Kazakova was born on January 27, 1932 in a military family. Parents at that time lived in the famous city of Sevastopol. My father served as an officer in the signal troops. Mother worked as a secretary-typist at the headquarters of the regiment. The name of Remo was recorded in the birth certificate of the future poetess. In terms of content, it was an abbreviation for the words "Revolution, Electrification, World October". In those years, many members of the Bolshevik Party constructed names for their children in a similar way.
Father was periodically transferred from one duty station to another. She graduated from Kazakov's school in Leningrad. She studied well and after the tenth grade decided to get an education at the history faculty of Leningrad University. In her student years, Rimma took an active part in the work of the poetry studio. The first lines of poetry were discussed in the classroom, which was attended by both students and children from working-class suburbs. After graduating from university, Kazakova was assigned to the Far East. In the city of Khabarovsk, she was accepted as editor of a local film studio.
Creative activity
Far from her native land, Kazakova plunged headlong into work and a new environment. The vastness of the taiga and deep snowdrifts had an inspiring effect on the poet. Poems were easy to write. As part of her job duties, she had to travel a lot and meet with the local population. As a rule, such meetings were reflected in poetry and travel notes. The poetess admitted that this style of communication helped her to find the correct expressions and comparisons, to outline colorful images. In 1958, her first collection of poetry was published, which was called "Meet me in the East."
A year after the publication of the collection, Rimma Kazakova was admitted to the Union of Writers of the USSR. To hone her professional skills, she enrolled in higher literary courses. In the early 70s, the poetess finally moved to Moscow. After a while, she was elected secretary of the Board of the Writers' Union. Over the years, she managed to combine literary creativity with administrative duties. Kazakova traveled a lot in the Soviet Union and foreign countries. Every time from a business trip, she brought a collection of poetry.
Recognition and privacy
For her great contribution to the development of literature and the upbringing of the younger generation, Rimma Kazakova was awarded the Order of Merit for the Fatherland, the Red Banner of Labor, and Friendship of Peoples.
The personal life of the poetess did not develop in the best way. She married the writer Georgy Radov. They had a son. But after a few years they had to leave. The reason for the divorce is simple and banal - the husband drank and scandalized.
Rimma Kazakova died in May 2008 from heart failure.
