Alexander Lucy. Award from Kira

The dinished of the three wives of the poet Henry Sapgira (the second in a row), who inherited both his powerful alliteration surname and the tendency to literary creativity, was Kira Sapgir . In Paris, in the framework of the traditional spring book fair, a presentation of her two books, who had just published in the St. Petersburg publishing house "Alethea" - "Dissy -Blue" and "leave me alone," took place.

Kira Alexandrovna was born in Moscow, graduated from the French faculty of the Moscow Institute of Foreign Languages. Translator, literary and art critic. Published several children's books and scripts, worked on Moscow radio. In 1978 she emigrated to France and has been living in Paris since then. For many years she worked in the newspaper “ Russian Thought ”, was a correspondent for the French international radio and Radio “ Freedom ”, printed articles in the magazines “ Continet ” and “Branks”, in the newspaper “ New Russian Word ”. In recent years, a correspondent of the Russian Air Force service and at the same time documentary in the French National Library .

The author described the “Dissy-Blue” as “Roman-Reporting”, but this report is by no means in a journalistic sense, it is rather a pseudo-regulation and pseudo-dimensor with pseudo-research excursions. “Writers usually sign the pseudonym of the book. But it happens that they put the pseudonym not on books, but on life,” wrote Polin RAS , the author of the scandalous erotic novel “The History of”, which is dedicated to one of the essays of the book “Leave me alone”.

Andrei Bitov calls Kira Sapgin “Fanny Kaplan of the Third Emigration”, since she chose the literary work of her life, she chose the debunking of the myth of self -heroization of the part of our intelligentsia and the various kinds of “moral farmers who joined it”. In this regard, Neologism, which has already entered into a modern vocabulary, who has already entered into a modern vocabulary, says, like a number of “winged” sayings that has already entered into a modern vocabulary (“Wherever you throw - one Katyn!”). Kira Sapgir is a kind of housewife of bohemian life: " I walked, dragging everyday life in her household bag, through the variegated crowd of passers -by who came here to look for happiness. Facing happiness, they at times turned sharply: happiness - it, as a thief, can be painted behind ." However, in the kitchen of this housewife it is better not to come to hand, he will leave, as in a communal apartment, if not invented by a censorship, so simple obscene word. Alas, even suicide did not save the famous publisher Vladimir Allo from the offensive nickname Masturbant. Her "Dissi" is also significant to the "reporting" works that have not got into her "reporting" works

“ Well, you, my good ones, remained at all aside. Why? Because of this, my glorious, fearless, hooligans and hooligans, that you helped me with advice, in a word, deed, threw me ideas, or even the most invaluable - you played my game with me, helping to put the mosa of truth from individual particles.

I am silent about you out of gratitude. Otherwise, you would have been not good "... You are my secret positive heroes. In my game, I made you my agents - but they do not give out agents ."

Thus, the reader, as it were, has the right to choose whether to try to become a character in Kira Sapgir or to avoid this in every possible way as a shot list.
