Do you know who Karim Fatih is? After reading this article, you will learn about the wonderful Tatar and Soviet poet who left behind a rich literary heritage. This man wrote what he thinks. His poetry is an opportunity to try on a different role and look at everyday things from a different angle.

Hero

The boy was born in December 1908 in the village of Aitovo, in Bashkiria. Almost nothing is known about the childhood of the future poet. The biography of Fatih Karim in Russian has never been published - this is precisely the reason for such a paucity of data about the poet.

Training

Writing talent manifested itself in him early, but there were no opportunities to develop it. Karim Fatih received his primary education in his native village. In 1922 he became a student at the Belebeevsky Pedagogical College. The guy did not work out with a career as a teacher, so he enters a land management technical school in Kazan. From this moment, Karim begins to cooperate with print media.

Creativity

Creative activity began after studying at Kazan University. Then the guy was already ripe in order to take the first independent steps on the literaryfield. At first, he simply collaborated with various newspapers and magazines, occasionally publishing something in them. Over time, this cooperation became closer and closer, and the reader got used to Karimov's style. After some time, Karim begins to work in the editorial office of children's and youth literature. All these turbulent events in his creative life took place in Kazan, where he lived for 10 years - from 1931 to 1941. He started publishing in 1928. The very first collection of his poems was published in 1931 and it was called "Initial Song".

During his short life, Karim Fatih still managed to create such poems that can be read to this day. He wrote many beautiful rhymes and soulful lines. His poems "take" in that they are simple and sincere, and in these two properties a lot of Fatih's talent is hidden. He could serve the simple so magically that it became something unearthly.

The most popular and recognizable collections by Karimov for Russian readers are Seventh Night and Noisy Dawn. These collections were published in 1932 and 1933 respectively. What are these verses about? They tell the reader about how Karim Fatih himself is experiencing what is happening in the country: active processes of collectivization of agriculture and industrialization of the country.

War

Unfortunately, this beautiful author was touched by the war. He published several of his collections while he was at the front. I would like to say that he loved his homeland very much. That is why, when the question arose of protecting her, Fatih, without thinking, gave up everything forin order to help. At the same time, he had something to throw. He established an excellent life in Kazan, he could publish and teach at the same time. Such a fate would have been too unbearable for him, because it was impossible to be on the sidelines when other men were defending the Motherland.

At the front, despite the general tense situation, Karim Fatih could not forget his vocation, so he continued to write poetry. As mentioned above, they were then published. In total, during the war, he wrote three collections of poems, which were called: “Love and Hate”, “Melody and Strength” and “Notes of a Scout”. The poems from the collections were written between 1943 and 1944.

Unfortunately, fate decreed that these were Karimov's last collections. Already in February 1945, he died in the war. How did it happen? The young man died with dignity and honor, performing a combat mission near Koenigsberg (now the village of Pobedy in the Kaliningrad region). Karim Fatih was not forgotten - he was buried in a mass grave in the same area.

Memory

The genealogy of Fatih Karim is not known to us, since there is no biography in Russian, and we have to be content with brief information. And yet his memory was worthy immortalized. The homeland appreciates Karim not only for her protection, but also for her literary talent. There is an award named after Karim Fatih in Bashkortostan. In the city of Bagrationovsk there is also a monument-obelisk in honor of the poet, and one street of the city is named after him.

PoAt the request of the inhabitants of the village of Aitova and the workers of the collective farm "Dema" on the 30th anniversary of the Great Patriotic War, a museum named after the patriot and poet Fatih Karim began its work there. There is also a bust of a man in front of the building. In addition, a secondary school and one of the streets of the village are named after their hero.

But is the author remembered today? Of course yes! In 2015, the Republican scientific and practical conference of schoolchildren named after the poet was held in Kazan. The conference was established by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Tatarstan. It is interesting that more than 400 schoolchildren from all over Tatarstan took part in it. In the next few years, thanks to active support at a high state level, the event rose to the level of an interregional children's competition. In the same year, there was a presentation of R. Sarchin's book en titled "The Life and Fate of Fatih Karim." A gala evening dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the death of the poet in the war was held. Fatih Karim, whose biography is given in the article, deserves to be remembered for many more years!
