Green was born on August 23 (old style - August 11), 1880 in Slobodskoye, a district town in the Vyatka province, in the family of an “eternal settler” - an exiled Pole rebel. His mother, a Russian woman, died when Green was 13 years old. Soon after the birth of their son, the Grinevsky family moved to Vyatka. “I did not know a normal childhood,” Green wrote in his “Autobiographical Tale,” “in moments of irritation, for my willfulness and unsuccessful teaching, they called me “swineherd,” “gold miner,” they predicted for me a life full of groveling among successful, successful people.” .

Explaining the origin of his literary pseudonym, Green said that “Green!” - this is how the children called Grinevsky briefly at school, and “Green-damn” was one of his childhood nicknames. In the summer of 1896, after graduating from the four-year Vyatka City School, Green left for Odessa, taking with him only a willow basket with a change of linen and watercolors. He arrived in Odessa with six rubles in his pocket.

Hungry, ragged, in search of a “vacancy,” he walked around all the schooners in the harbor. On his first voyage, on the transport ship Platon, he first saw the shores of the Caucasus and Crimea. Green did not sail as a sailor for long - after the first or second voyage he was usually written off for his unruly disposition. Later he was a lumberjack and gold miner in the Urals. In the spring of 1902, the young man found himself in Penza, in the royal barracks. Then in Kyiv. From there he moved to Odessa and then to Sevastopol. He paid for his propaganda activities in Sevastopol with prison and exile. After his release from the Sevastopol casemate, Green leaves for St. Petersburg and soon ends up in prison there again. Green is exiled to 4 years in the city of Turinsk, Tobolsk province. On his first voyage, on the transport ship Platon, he first saw the shores of the Caucasus and Crimea.

Four months later, “Private Alexander Stepanovich Grinevsky” escapes from the battalion, hides in the forest for several days, but is caught and sentenced to three weeks of strict arrest “on bread and water.” The Penza Social Revolutionaries help him escape from the battalion a second time, providing him with a false passport and transporting him to Kyiv.

After his release from the Sevastopol casemate, Green leaves for St. Petersburg and soon ends up in prison there again. Green is exiled to 4 years in the city of Turinsk, Tobolsk province. After arriving there “in stages,” Green escapes from exile and gets to Vyatka. His father gets him the passport of “personal honorary citizen” A.A., who recently died in the hospital. Malginova and Green returned to St. Petersburg, so that a few years later, in 1910, they would again go into exile, this time to the Arkhangelsk province. Prisons, exile, eternal need... No wonder Green said that his life’s path was strewn not with roses, but with nails...

Having joined St. Petersburg literary circles, he collaborated in many magazines. In 1916, in Petrograd, he began writing the “extravaganza story” “Scarlet Sails”.

In 1919, from Petrograd he was drafted into the Red Army, where he served as a signalman.

The father hoped that his eldest son, in whom the teachers saw enviable abilities, would certainly become an engineer or a doctor, then he agreed to become an official, or, at worst, a clerk; he would only live “like everyone else,” and give up “fantasies.” ..

Slide 1
Alexander Stepanovich Green 1880 - 1932
Alexander Stepanovich Grinevsky (Green is his literary pseudonym) was born on August 23, 1880 in Slobodskoye, a district town in the Vyatka province. And in the city of Vyatka, the years of childhood and youth of the future writer passed.
Slide 2
The first word that the first-born Sasha Grinevsky put together from letters, sitting on his father’s lap, was the word “sea”... Sasha was the son of a participant in the Polish uprising of 1863, exiled to provincial Vyatka. An accountant at the zemstvo hospital, my father could barely get by - without joy, hope and dreams.
His wife, exhausted and sick, was consoled by the purring of songs - mostly obscene or thieves. So she died at the age of thirty-seven... The widower, Stefan Grinevsky, was left with four half-orphans in his arms: 13-year-old Sasha (the eldest) then had a brother and two sisters.
...What the family of the Polish exile was lucky with was books. In 1888, Lieutenant Colonel Grinevsky, Sasha’s uncle, died in service. They brought an inheritance from the funeral: three large chests filled with volumes. They were in Polish, French and Russian.
It was then that eight-year-old Alexander first escaped from reality - into the attractive world of Jules Verne and Mine Reid. This fictional life turned out to be much more interesting: the endless expanse of the sea, the impassable thickets of the jungle, the fair power of the heroes captivated the boy forever. I didn't want to go back to reality...
Slide 3
When Sasha turned nine, his father bought him a gun - an old, ramrod one, for a ruble. The gift cut the teenager off from food and drink and took him into the forest for whole days. But it was not only the prey that attracted the boy. He fell in love with the whisper of the trees, the smell of grass, the darkness of the thickets. No one here knocked you out of your thoughts or spoiled your dreams.
That same year, the undergrowth was sent to the Vyatka Zemstvo Real School. Acquiring knowledge is a difficult and uneven task. Excellent successes were noted in the law of God with history, an A plus in geography. My father, the bookkeeper, selflessly solved arithmetic. But for the rest of the items in the magazine there were deuces and colas...
So I studied for several years until I was kicked out. Because of his behavior: the devil tried to weave rhymes, and he made up a poem about his favorite teachers. And I paid for the doggerel...
Then there was a city four-year school, where Alexander’s father enrolled him in the penultimate class. Here the new student looked like a lonely encyclopedist, but over time he was expelled twice again - for good deeds...
In recent months, Grinevsky has studied diligently: he learned that a certificate of completion opens the way to nautical classes.
Slide 4
Finally, here it is, the road to a big, alluring, unknown world! Sixteen years behind me, 25 rubles in my pocket.
Odessa shocked the young resident of Vyatka: the streets, planted with acacias or robins, were bathed in sunlight. Green terrace coffee shops and exotic thrift stores crowded each other. Below was a noisy port, stuffed with the masts of real ships. And behind all this bustle the sea breathed majestically. It separated and united lands, countries, people.
Two months later, he finally got lucky: Alexander was hired as a cabin boy on the steamer Platon. My father sent me eight and a half rubles for my apprenticeship by telegraph. Science began from the basics: experienced sailors advised swallowing anchor mud - it helps with seasickness. Young readily obeyed everyone, but... He never learned to tie knots, twist lines, or signal with flags. It was not even possible to “beat off the bells” - due to the lack of a sharp double blow on both sides of the bell-rynda.
Slide 5
In early spring, he was lucky: he was hired as a sailor on the ship “Tsesarevich,” owned by the Russian Society of Shipping and Trade. The flight to Alexandria turned out to be the only foreign one in his life.
Green's life palette was replete with dark colors. After Odessa, he returned to his homeland, to Vyatka - again to do odd jobs. But life stubbornly skimped on a place and occupation for the unfortunate...
Slide 6
A seeker of the miraculous, delirious of the sea and sails, ends up in the 213th Orovai Reserve Infantry Battalion, where the most cruel customs reigned, later described by Green in the stories “The Merit of Private Panteleev” and “The Story of a Murder.”
Four months later, “Private Alexander Stepanovich Grinevsky” escapes from the battalion, hides in the forest for several days, but is caught and sentenced to three weeks of strict arrest “on bread and water.”
Green was drawn to freedom, and his romantic imagination was captivated by the very life of the “illegal”, full of secrets and dangers.
Slide 7
The Penza Social Revolutionaries helped him escape from the battalion a second time, provided him with a false passport and transported him to Kyiv. From there he moved to Odessa and then to Sevastopol. The second escape, aggravated by his connection with the Social Revolutionaries, cost Grinevsky a two-year prison sentence.
And the unsuccessful third attempt to leave captivity ended in indefinite Siberian exile...
Slide 8
“I was a sailor, a loader, an actor, rewrote roles for the theater, worked in gold mines, in a blast furnace, in peat bogs, in fisheries; was a woodcutter, a tramp, a scribe in the office, a hunter, a revolutionary, an exile, a sailor on a barge, a soldier, a navvy... "
For a long time and painfully, Alexander Stepanovich searched for himself as a writer... He began his literary career as a “everyday writer”, as the author of stories, the themes and plots of which he took directly from the reality around him. He was overwhelmed with life impressions, accumulated in abundance during the years of wandering around the world...
Slide 9
The author's pseudonym also crystallized: A. S. Green. (At first there were A. Stepanov, Aleksandrov and Grinevich - a literary pseudonym was necessary for the writer. If his real name had appeared in print, he would have immediately been placed in places not so remote).
Green recalled with special love the Ural forest warrior Ilya, who taught him the wisdom of felling trees and forced him to tell fairy tales on winter evenings. The two of them lived in a log cabin under an old cedar tree. All around there are dense thickets, impenetrable snow, a wolf howl, the wind hums in the chimney of the stove... In two weeks, Greene exhausted his entire rich stock of fairy tales by Perrault, the Brothers Grimm, Andersen, Afanasyev and began to improvise, compose fairy tales himself, inspired by the admiration of his “regular audience " And, who knows, maybe there, in a forest hut, under a century-old cedar tree, by the cheerful fire of the stove, the writer Green was born...
In 1907, his first book, “The Invisible Cap,” was published. In 1909, “Reno Island” was published. Then there were other works - in more than a hundred periodicals...
Slide 10
In post-revolutionary Petrograd, M. Gorky obtained a room in the House of Arts and academic rations for an illegal writer...
And Green was now not alone: he had found a girlfriend, faithful and devoted to the end, as in his books.
