Fyodor Razzakov. Biography

The future writer was born in Russia, in Moscow. Fedor studied at high school number 325. After graduating from it, Razzakov went to serve in the army, which lasted from 1981 to 1983. After serving, Fedor decides to get a higher education. To do this, he enters the Moscow Regional Pedagogical Institute (MOPI) named after Nadezhda Konstantinovna Krupskaya. Razzakov was enrolled in the evening department of the Faculty of History. After graduating, the writer tries to find a job. In 1922, Fedor went into the security business (he guarded a popular newspaper called Kommersant).

Creativity

In 1994, Razzakov Fedor, having borrowed money from his businessman friend, published his first book called "The Life and Death of Vladimir Vysotsky". It is then that the author realizes that writing is his calling. Therefore, Razzakov leaves his job and gets a job in the newspaper "I am a bodyguard". There he got a position as a crime journalist. The work was not dusty. In addition, Fedor Razzakov had access to various information sources. Therefore, this work has become a great help in his work.

Thus, in a relatively short period of time, the writer released a four-volume set, which included such books as "Bandits of the era of capitalism", "Bandits of the era of socialism", "The Age of Terror" and "Bandits of the West". The works were a huge success. According to the results of a 1997 survey conducted by the newspaper "Book Review", the first two volumes became real bestsellers.

During 1998-1999, the writer Fyodor Razzakov published his new multi-volume edition, consisting of eight books. In it, he introduces readers to the biographies of Soviet authors, athletes, actors, TV presenters and other famous personalities. The work was called "Dossier on the stars." But even after finishing his multi-volume book, Razzakov does not slow down. Already in 2004, a whole folio was published, consisting of two volumes. The work was called "Life of Remarkable Times". In it the authortried to write a chronology of events of an entire era in the 70s of the twentieth century.

Further activities

Since 2000, Fedor Razzakov, whose photo can be seen above, has been actively cooperating with television. His career as a TV presenter began with short documentaries about banditry based on his book Bandits of the Socialist Era. Since 2006, the writer has been collaborating with a rather popular newspaper called "Soviet Russia" (where he was awarded the prestigious Word of the People award). The first article was devoted to the memory of the legendary singer Dean Reed. Readers liked Fedor Razzakov's style of writing. This is the reason the publishers gave it the green light. During his time at the newspaper, Razzakov wrote biographies of many figures of Russian art (Alla Pugacheva, Vladimir Vysotsky, Andrey Mironov, Leonid Filatov, etc.).

Nevertheless, he was most famous for his scandalously critical articles about various artists in Russia and the Soviet Union (most of these articles were included in a book called "Why don't Soviet stars go out?"). It is interesting that Razzakov cultivated a pro-Soviet position in his articles. For example, in the article "Makar and his calves, or the non-jubilee Makarevich" the writer condemns Andrei Makarevich for not leading his followers ("calves") to state ideals. Razzakov reproaches the famous bard for the fact that his family belonged to the Soviet elite and had a lot ofprivileges not available to ordinary people. In his articles, the author often criticizes celebrities. Thus, Razzakov Fedor draws attention to his person and is well promoted by denigrating the stars.

Criticism

Colleagues are rather skeptical about Razzakov's work. Critics claim that this writer is a simple "yellow" journalist. The reason for this was that Razzakov is very biased towards the personalities he writes about. In addition, Fedor focuses on the sensational presentation of the material and generously seasons his articles with "fried" facts.

The scientific and historical works of the writer were also subjected to ruthless criticism. Many literary scholars have noticed that in his historical research, Razzakov often resorts to conspiracy theories. The most striking example of this is the article about the so-called "Uzbek case".

Scandals

Writer Fyodor Razzakov is mostly known for his scandals. Thus, the writer tries to attract as many people as possible to his person. A great example of this would be a case that took place in 2013 and caused quite a stir in the media. Nikita Vysotsky applied for Razzakov. The reason for this was the book "Vladimir Vysotsky - a super agent of the KGB." The son of a famous bard sued the writer for slandering the honest name of his father. The case was won and the book was banned from sale.
