Robert Mugallimovich Minnullin was born in Bashkiria on August 1, 1948 in the small village of Nazyade. Creative abilities began to appear already in childhood. Robert grew up in the countryside, on the banks of a picturesque river. The boy absorbed the beauty of his native land and early, while still at school, began to compose poetry. "Nugget" - this beautiful word was used to call such people. The biography of Robert Minnulin is full of bright events and achievements.

A literate, cultured person who grew up on the traditions of his native land, a singer of his small homeland, a poet, a citizen, a loving son - this is not a complete list of Robert's qualities. Mugallimovich.

Versatility of creativity

The author gave a large share of his talent to young readers. On duty, the writer often talked with children, imbued with their experiences and aspirations. It is important that works for children have gained great popularity among the adult part of the population. Robert Minnullin has his followers, students. He always considered himself first and foremost a "children's poet."

Childish dreams and impulses are close to the author. He knows the soul of a child well, with a humorous touch he talks about the perception of the world by children's eyes: “Oh, it would be nice if it snowed not in winter, but in summer!” Adults, reading the poems of the poet, are themselves happy to remember what they were like in childhood, how bright and colorful the world was!

The works of Robert Mugallimovich can teach a lot: parents recognize themselves, their actions, and kids too! In his poems in the Tatar language, Robert Mugallimovich returns to childhood again, involuntarily trying to make up for lost moments. "Our rural zoo", "Holidays of childhood", "Our tiger cub" - this is an incomplete list of collections for children. And for "The biggest apple in the world" they even brought it to the "storytellers" - the poet was awarded a diploma named after H. H. Andersen.

Image of Mother

Mother's gratitude runs like a red thread through many of the creations of Robert Mugallimovich Minnullin. But the most iconic is "Son and Mom". In it, the author reflected the infinite absolute love of mother and son for each other. Mother is the person who shapesthe world of the child and gives him all the primary skills and more. She gives her son all the warmth of her soul, her heart and love.

Mom taught little Robert to take care of others, help and support loved ones. “Beloved children of mothers, we know how to cherish happiness!” - the poet writes. This woman was everything for the boy, he replaced his father, who left too soon. There are many memories in the poems: this is the nature of his “small homeland”, where he grew up, and the accordion of his father, on which he notably played, and numerous observations and discoveries from the life of a child.

About nature

In his descriptions of native nature, Robert Minnulin reaches a very high emotional note, extols beauty, showing the features of a folk storyteller. It animates willows and poplars, the river and fluffy clouds in the sky! He associates trees with his loved ones: just as surely they are waiting for him at the threshold of his native home, they are bored and sad. Robert Minnullin fills his poems with the soul of nature from the land.

Life is a song

Robert Mugallimovich Minnullin is a songwriter in his native Tatar language. The musicality of his soul led to the fact that they began to compose music on his poems. "Life is a song" - so says the poet. He tries to penetrate into the very essence, to comprehend certain laws of being. A man of a wide soul, who has absorbed beauty in himself, the poet is ready to share it with everyone. And in general, it broadcasts selfless love and honesty to the world, not being afraid to be too frank.

The works of Robert Minnullin are read in many countries, his collections were published in Russia, Belarus, Croatia, Poland. Later, his books began to be published in Bashkortostan. But at the same time, the author remains a modest person who does not demand attention to himself, ironically says about himself: “Every Tatar knows me.”

I would like to especially note that the poet always meets with his readers with great pleasure. He collects full halls, verses and songs sound there. Robert Mugallimovich considers the recognition of his people and readers from other countries to be the most important reward for himself. The best reward for an author is to hear his songs sung by people who don't even know about him!
