Slipenchuk biography

And to us, who did not know grace, the sacrament of times was opened here, he is near, he is with us. Cannes, France now several questions at once. There are different definitions of the concept of "faith." What does faith mean for you? How did you come to God? What are you most often asking for the Almighty? At first, he composed in a poetic form epigraphs to works on a free topic.

For this, instead of three, they put a four. Then I was interested in Russian poets in all their manifestations. And from somewhere I learned that the creation of a poem is largely similar to a prayer. It struck me. Even now, this maxim is exciting me, I am more and more convinced of its justice. Metropolitan of Novgorod and Starorussky Lev Kerepitsky Nikolai Lvovich is now the head of the Novgorod Metropolis, and then he just arrived in Novgorod, and he and I went to Valdai to the Iversky monastery, consisting of a complex of churches in which a tourist office was located.

In the year, I was the Sobroster of the newspaper "Federation", and the Department of Culture recommended that I write about the new hierarch of Novgorod and Novgorod churches. The task of the newspaper completed. The Lord Lev, at the meeting, made a very strong, truly indelible impression on me. His image did not fit at all with the image of a priest who developed in my performance.

However, my idea of ​​the clergymen developed during the period of Soviet power, in which most churches were closed, and all the priests were necessarily obese and most of all loved to drink well and eat well. Be sure to exclaim - UV ... Zelo, Borzo! Vladyka Leo, a very pleasant appearance, thin with the pale face of an intellectual-book, invited me to the Volga car.

I thought that the driver would lead the car, but no, he himself got behind the wheel. Then there were no mobile phones, but wherever we stopped, the villagers hurried to us with streams, mainly with cloudy faces, of course, women, old people and old women. The time was difficult. Vladyka blessed the villagers, their baskets with groceries, their faces brightened, the sun floated over us.

I felt some universal unity of nature and people. Even the new Volga car did not share us. From Novgorod to Valdai is a short path. During a conversation with Vladyka, he realized that my grandmother baptized home baptism - this is a very serious baptism, but not complete - does not give the believer of the Holy Sacraments at the time of communion. It was then that the decision came to be baptized in the church, and after some time we were baptized by the whole family in the Novgorod Nikolo-Vyzhishchi Monastery.

Misha son was baptized before us, he was already studying in Moscow then. What do I most often ask for the Almighty? Each time in accordance with the understanding of their life situation. Recently, more and more I ask gentlemen to teach me how to forgive people. A lot of things are included here, I will not spread. But what about the finger of God! Can a writer be like everyone else?

And there is nothing reprehensible in this. That is, the concept of “personality” contains something special and high. This is a kind of person who came out of the crowd and at the same time remains in the crowd. In my years, there is no need to refer to authorities, but I note that this explanation belongs, in my opinion, writer Boris Vasiliev. Which of the writers had the greatest influence on you?

This is too much said. But he studied artistic prose with many writers, especially those who managed to hit me with their imagery or the construction of their presentation. He studied not because he somehow studied. Of course, everything was remembered, without any effort, and for some time served as a standard. I studied for many. That is, he grabbed something for his enrichment, for his professional equipment, or something.

Here you say: "In your works there are a lot of philosophy, the search for the meanings of life." If we talk about the influence as the formation of my “I” or - the ego, then, perhaps, it was the philosopher most affected by my formation, and first of all, Immanuel Kant. He struck me with undeniable evidence of his judgments. The thing in itself at the same time is present in space in time and at the same time - it is absent.

I admired his conclusions so much that I was terribly disappointed that, except for Königsberg - Kaliningrad, there are no more monuments to Kant. I then studied at the Omsk Agricultural Institute and really wanted to put a bouquet of flowers in his pedestal. Thus, indicate your recognition of its genius. With the philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer, his work “Peace as a will and representation” met after the army.

By this time he graduated from the Omsk Agricultural Institute. Previously, dialectical materialism was taught at institutes at all faculties, and I not only knew, but also understood the Hegelian triad well. So the spores of the Schopenhauer - the “scandalist” and Hegel - “Uphen” was quite clear to me. In the army, at the guardhouse, he thoroughly studied the work of V.

Lenin's “Materialism and Empirocriticism” of other books, which most of all struck the fantastic erudite of Vladimir Ilyich.Thinking on to Lenin’s life, he noticed that in the last days when Vladimir Ilyich was especially bad, he asked Nadezhda Konstantinovna Krupskaya to read London's story “Love for Life” aloud. Of course, such an integral person as Lenin is a materialist to the brain of bones, would hardly have to listen to the idealist writer.

This was the impetus for the understanding that the philosophy of a particular philosopher could become the driving force of the novel. For me, to some extent, it became a revelation that in the novel “Klea Wolf”, Jack London used the materialistic essence of Darwin's theory. On the pages of the novel there is a monstrous force of Captain-Frequency, the credo of which, in fact, the fundamental law on natural selection-the strong eats the weak in order to remain strong.

And suddenly - you write science fiction. What prompted? Why was this genre in demand by you? I am a chronicler, and a deep and honest narrator, and a thinker. And suddenly - began to write fiction. It turns out that I fell in your eyes. You may not think so, but it happened. Meanwhile, the entire second volume of the collected works “Loneliness and Dreams” is dedicated to science fiction in pages.

And then I will return to the conversation about philosophers, about their influence on creativity. I don’t know why this is happening, but we know foreign philosophers better than our own.

Meanwhile, plunged into the teachings of Nikolai Fedorovich Fedorov “The Philosophy of the Common Affairs”, you involuntarily experience the shock of the globalness of his plan. The main idea of ​​his work is concentrated around the victory over death - the resurrection of all the previous generations patronage of the fathers. Fedorov considered the greatest injustice a limitation of life in a certain time.

According to Fedorov, the main goal of humanity should be the struggle for human immortality. And not for personal immortality and not for the elect, but for the whole human race, including for the long -dead ancestors of the “fathers”. The ancestor of Russian cosmism, his ideas found a review in the works of Dostoevsky and Leo Tolstoy. Tsiolkovsky and Korolev were familiar with his theory of the common cause.

His teaching indicates the ways to implement the idea of ​​achieving immortality. In the second volume of my collected works in the novel “The Light Resurrection”, which I attribute to the genre of spiritual fantasy, I am starting from the ideas of Nikolai Fedorovich Fedorov as a very specific already inhabited shore.
