There are many masters of the word in the Krasnodar Territory who write beautiful poems, glorifying the small Motherland. Kuban poets Viktor Podkopaev, Valentina Saakova, Kronid Oboishchikov, Sergey Khokhlov, Vitaly Bakaldin, Ivan Varavva are the pride of the region's literature. Each of them has their favorite places. But in the work of this or that author one can clearly hear one feeling that unites them - all-encompassing love.

Kuban poets about nature

The heart of the poet Viktor Podkopaev conquered the Krasnodar Territory once in his youth and forever. For him, the sonorous word "Kuban" is like the name of a beloved. The poet dedicated his work to her. About her, about the Kuban, his lyrical thoughts and dreams. Having opened the book of his poems, you immediately feel the thick aroma of the grain fields, the salinity of the sea waves, you clearly imagine how nature is waking up.

Kuban sweet land, You are the pride of all Russia, Wonderful beautyUnder the blue sky.

Perhaps, somewhere there is

Places are even more beautiful, But I don't care moreNative Kuban places…

About Motherland

Poems of Kuban poets seem to be saturatedwarm sun. A native of Rostov, Kronid Oboyshchikov, has his whole life connected with the Kuban: here he graduated from school, an aviation school, and left here to defend his fatherland. The southern pearl of Russia, charming in its beauty, also served as the soil that nourished his bright artistic word.

Daytime birds fall silent, Crushing against the dusty rays, Sounds subside and flow down, Like wax from a melted candle.

The cloudy frescoes are getting dark, The star enamel is becoming clearer.

Whatever the poems of the Kuban poets - short or sweeping - may sound, they feel, regardless of the number of phrases, deep respect for the motherland. For many years, Korenovsk poet Malakhov Viktor Ivanovich pleases his readers with heartfelt poetry. When you read his poems about your native land, it is as if you are walking on the morning dew, admiring the smooth surface of the river, you cannot get enough of the clouds floating across the dawn dome of the sky.

Historical records

Many Kuban poets came from afar and fell in love with the local land. In Krasnolesye and high meadow grasses of the Smolensk region, the lazy-flowing river Bittern Malaya was lost. Not far away, the future famous Kuban poet Sergey Khokhlov was born. His father moved the family to the fertile Krasnodar Territory.

In the Kuban, Sergei Khokhlov gained experience, human, civic maturity. And flew, overtaking each other, wonderful sounds. About a hard-working father, about a mother, about war, about nature, native fields, rivers, steppes. And, of course, about love. specialhis cycle of romantic poems "Scythians" has an aura, where the author managed to convey the conflict of the self-confident ruler of the Persians Darius and the freedom-loving brave people - the Scythians.

Lyrics

Kuban poets are masters of lyrical style, Vitaly Bakaldin's poems are especially beautiful. He devoted most of his work to his love for the region. His work is imbued with a sense of community with his native land, warmth for people, all living things: grasses, trees, water, birds … The poet in his poems infuses the theme of the Kuban into the general theme of the Motherland.

I grew up in the Kuban, Our southern regions:

I feel closer, more understandableImmense steppes…

Poems of Kuban poets seem to be born for a song. Ivan Varavva is a singer of the Krasnodar land. It seems that our very generous nature has put a lyre into the hands of the poet. I would like to return to his poems repeatedly. They charge with their energy, make you think, look around and see how uniquely beautiful our land is.

The works of Barabbas inspire composers, the best compositions about the Kuban are written to his words. The poetic voice of Ivan Barabbas cannot be confused with any other. He rightfully belongs to the leading poets of the region. His work, bright and life-affirming, sings of this fertile land, the people who inhabit it, disinterested, kind and brave, in love with their grain work.

The writer is well versed in child psychology and knows how to view the world through the eyes of a child. His poems are very direct, filled with humor and musicality. The poet writes in the language of children: clear, easy and fun. Perhaps that is why his poems are a success and are loved by all the kids.

About war

Kuban poets wrote many truthful, sincere lines about the war, sometimes saturated with a note of bitterness about fallen comrades. Aksakal, one of the most respected poets of military subjects is Bakaldin Vitaly Borisovich. A native of Krasnodar, as a teenager he survived half a year of the German occupation and in the future oftenreturned to the topic that worried him.

His poems about terrible events are poignant and penetrating. He is ready to talk endlessly about the immortal exploits of his senior comrades. In the poem "Krasnodar true story" the author tells about yesterday's school graduates, who had just been called up to expel the Nazis. They fought to the death with adult fighters, holding the defense for three days. Many of them forever remained lying near Krasnodar "classically and schoolwise." Other significant works:

• "September '42 in Krasnodar."

Community activities

There are two main literary organizations in the Kuban:

It's a thankless task to argue which writer is the best. Each master of the word has his own vision of the world, respectively, his own unique style, which may coincide with the tastes of readers and critics, or be special, understandable to units.
