Writer Maria. How to learn to love? Conversation with writer Maria Gorodova. Career of Maria Arbatova
October 9, 2015It is very important that the reader sees his own thoughts reflected in books. This characterizes the works of Maria Metlitskaya. But, in addition to helping the public understand their own “I,” her works are also light and ironic.
Love since childhood
Maria was born and lives in Moscow. The writer's parents belonged to the intelligentsia and participated in the sixties movement. Consequently, the child grew up in a creative atmosphere. The house was always full of books. The grandmother and mother instilled a love of literature in the child. It should be noted that Masha herself has been reading confidently since she was four years old. When the little girl lacked new books, she hurried to the library.
Sympathy for the word was not in vain. The works that Maria Metlitskaya writes stand out pleasantly among others. They have a simple and at the same time expressive and rich language. Respect for books accompanies a writer throughout her life. Even today, a woman's favorite hobby is reading a good story.
Maria wrote her first poems while still at school. But the future profession was far from literature. The master of words studied to become a doctor and worked as a doctor for some time. Nevertheless, the woman never left creativity. In 2003, the first collection of poems was published. But the author Maria Metlitskaya gained real popularity thanks to her stories.
Second chance at happiness
The woman's first marriage was unsuccessful. It was risky to rely on the person with whom she lived under the same roof. Therefore, the talented novelist tried to build happiness with another man. The writer lived with this chosen one for 20 years in a civil marriage. The official registration of the family union coincided with the celebration of the release of the first book. Her companion, with whom she has already celebrated her silver jubilee, is worthy of respect. He became her solid shoulder, a close one who would never betray.
It should be noted that Maria Metlitskaya very often raises the topic of fidelity in her works. “The Mistake of Youth” tells about betrayal and its consequences. A work about a man who left his wife and sick child. He plans to start life on a new page, but fate is a very capricious lady, and she does not forgive meanness.
Start of work
Once readers learn the story of how the author began her writing career, they begin to believe in fate. The woman's only son grew up and moved away from the family. In fact, the main mission of her life - raising a child - has come to an end. Another impetus for writing was a personal drama. Maria Metlitskaya was sick for some time.
The woman tried to occupy herself with various courses and clubs, but none of the activities could satiate her creative nature. One day she decided to write a story. When the work was finished, I read the work to my husband. He responded approvingly and encouraged his wife to continue creating.
The woman wrote her first stories by hand, because she had no idea how to work on a computer. Only at the age of 52 did she master this technique.
Next, the writer visited all possible book fairs and offered a disc with her work to editors. But as soon as publishers heard that the author was writing in the form of a story, they refused the materials. Others ignored Maria's work due to lack of experience.
One more step to glory
Nevertheless, the works that Maria Metlitskaya wrote saw the light of day.
The genre in which the writer writes is short story. She has remained faithful to this short form of literary prose for decades. Since childhood, she adored reading Anton Chekhov and O. Henry. She likes short stories, if only because she doesn’t need to spend a lot of time on them. But the deeper the writer dived into the world of literature, the more often she thought about starting work on a big novel.
A work in this genre is “And the ball will return.” The book was very difficult for her, says Maria Metlitskaya. The biography and personal experience of the prose writer were partially reflected in the image of the character Tanya. The plot tells the story of four friends who have known each other since school. They're having their graduation party very soon. The girls are full of hopes and expectations. But the tragedy changes their attitude towards life and each other. However, the heroines still have many ups and downs ahead.
Now the book has been adapted into a TV series of the same name. The director is Valery Devyatilov, and the main roles are played by the country's best actresses.
Best stories
The author is very critical of his works. From the bibliography she highlights the work “Our Little Life”. The work is part of the “Behind Other People’s Windows” series. And indeed, each story describes simple, ordinary people, whose greatness and tragedy lie in their actions. Despite the fact that the stories are fiction, the reader, leafing through the books of Maria Metlitskaya, sees himself in every image. The master has the fewest complaints about this story.
On the contrary, the public likes "The Mother-in-Law's Diary" more. The writer herself did not have high hopes for this work. But the simple and ironic narrative won the hearts of the audience. The plot tells about a mother who devoted her whole life to her beloved son. But the boy has grown up and is starting his own independent life. In fact, the heroine’s child is taken away not only by time, but also by another woman. Now the main character must get used to the role of mother-in-law. The son's chosen one becomes a rival and claims to be the main person in his life. An energetic and restless mother copes with this situation in her own way.
Everyone who read this story saw in the actions of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law their own actions in similar circumstances.
Star Olympus
Victoria Tokareva speaks positively about Metlitskaya’s work. This writer has been creating talented books for a long time. Often critics argue that the style in which Maria writes is partly similar to that of her colleague.
She loves every character, no matter positive or negative, equally. The main images are very detailed. This allows the public to immerse themselves in the world of the book as much as possible. Often her works leave room for mystery. And on the final page the author gives the hero a choice: stay in place or move towards goodness and light.
Maria Metlitskaya's books were born from her own experience. The author notes that although almost all situations and characters are fictitious, most of her works are based on what she herself saw.
The audience of this writer is becoming larger. Not only women, but also men admire her prose. Today the works are very popular. Now the master of words is considering writing a new grandiose novel.

The next episode of Andrei Malakhov’s program “Let Them Talk,” dedicated to marriage with a person with disabilities, ended in a scandal.
WITH Among the guests of the program were the popular “TV matchmaker” Roza Syabitova and the writer Maria Arbatova. The dispute between them ended in mutual accusations, after which Syabitova retreated from the studio, falling to her knees while descending the steps. Maria Arbatova commented on the situation in her LiveJournal.
Today’s filming of Andrei Malakhov’s program promised to be tolerant and triumphant, and I went to it to support the topic of marriages with people with “disabilities,” since I am one myself.<...>Two heroines of the program filmed today married men with disabilities of the very first group: the first had a genetic disease in which legs do not develop, and walked on crutches; the second had a severe form of cerebral palsy.<...>
But the main ambush was not in disability, but in the backstory of the first couple, where a simple woman from the Chelyabinsk region with the vocabulary “this shocked me a little” had previously lived with a sadistic and drunkard husband. The first time he beat her until she was hospitalized, right after the maternity hospital... and then it went on and on. She left, caught up, swore, came back... beat her half to death, cut off her finger, cut her mouth, stuck a knife in her side... then, while drunk, he pierced his son's head with a hammer, the son spent 16 months in the hospital, and according to his mother, he came out "a fool" ", now lives with her father, drinks with him, and her mother ran away to a disabled person and felt like a woman.
When asked if she realized that by not imprisoning the sadist, she had ruined her son’s life, she justified herself by saying that her husband had his own man in the police, and all the documents were lost, you know how it is in our country... In fact, this “It’s like that in her country,” it’s not like that in my country, and according to this list, my husband could have gotten a life sentence if she had lifted a finger and written to at least one higher authority.
To defend the masochistic position, Andrei Malakhov asked “Roza Syabitova, who was beaten by her husband,” who was sitting not far from me. Rosa is my favorite heroine; recently, few people have caused Russian women with their blizzard, hinting that time has not only stopped, but turned back, so much harm. Rosa, naturally, stated that when her husband beat her, the police did nothing to help, and Russian women are not protected from beatings. I said that there is no need to skimp on lawyers, you need to study the laws and there is no point in positioning yourself as a matchmaker if you yourself can only marry a sadist. Since this is not our first dialogue on this topic, Rosa jumped up and tried to leave the studio, Andrei held her back, put her in her seat and asked me to apologize, as if I was to blame for the peculiarities of Rozina’s biography. I myself felt sorry for her, although I feel much more sorry for the women whom she fools in marriage agencies. In short, we extended our hands to each other - peace, friendship, chewing gum.
Of course, this will be cut out during editing, and it would be nice to cut out the screams that the Russian woman is defenseless. She is not at all defenseless, it’s just that the 13,000 women who die a year from beatings are sick. But people like them, having heard that “Rosa Syabitova herself” cannot imprison the scumbag who beat her and her daughter, will completely stop resisting, write statements to the police and call crisis centers... Rosa had her own game during the divorce, judging by her interview, she and her husband shared the loot of a common “matchmaking scam”. But this is their business, and our feminist business is to implore that not a single person in the country should become a victim of physical and psychological violence in the family. And continue to lobby for a bill to remove charges of domestic violence from private to public, and no matter how masochists like Roza Syabitova get in the way, we will achieve this .
Journalist and writer Maria Gorodova is well known to readers. Her books, including “Tenderness in the Wind,” evoke a strong response from a variety of people. Now her new book is being published - “The Cradle of Fire”, which talks about love. A conversation with her about this book, about the letters that come to the editorial office of Rossiyskaya Gazeta, on the pages of which Maria has been answering letters from readers for several years now, about the topics that concern many today.
– Maria, how did the idea for your new book come about? Is this the same inspiration?
– Everything is much more prosaic. About two years ago, the editor-in-chief of Rossiyskaya Gazeta, Vladislav Aleksandrovich Fronin, called me and asked what could be done to ensure that more young people read us. I thought: the audience for the “Correspondence” section is people 27 years old and older. But there were a lot of letters in my mail about teenage children. Moreover, they were all written as carbon copies, although they came from different cities and their authors were people of different professions, different social strata. But everywhere there was the same pain, expressed in almost the same phrase: “I raised my child, but now he is a stranger to me...”
And further variations: “The computer has taken my child away from me: he looks up from the monitor just to see what they put on his plate...”, or “American TV series are more valuable to her than a family; I grew up as a rag-picker, in her head only the names of fashion boutiques and recommendations from women’s magazines on how to seduce a man...”, or “My girl decided that she was an emo, and the company of people like her was closer to her own mother...”
Letters about youth suicides are a separate story. The hardest topic! Your heart breaks when you read confessions from mothers or peers of the unfortunate person. Unfortunately, there are too many such letters, and often the cause of the tragedy is the teenager’s isolation, the fact that at a critical moment in his life no one cared about him and he was left alone with the obsessive whirling of a harmful thought.
It seems to me that this is generally a global problem of our time: with all the diversity of means of communication - a diversity that civilization has never known before - man is more alone than ever. Of course, the reason here is isolation from God.
In general, I was thinking, I was thinking about how to hook teenagers, where to start a conversation, and then my son says to me: “Mom, why bother? We need to talk about love! Every girl will be interested! And the guys too. Maybe they won’t show it.” , but they will definitely read it. Otherwise - a strange thing! - everything is about sex, there is nowhere to escape from porn, even to the ends of the earth: both in the “box”, and on the Internet, and on every corner, in any magazine kiosk - it’s tough! But no one explains about love!” And that’s it – I realized that we need to start the conversation with the topic of love.
And an avalanche of letters from teenagers came...
– What discoveries awaited you?
– The terrible, frightening illiteracy of the bulk is the first thing. The second is the inability to distinguish where is good and where is evil - that is, indeed, “those who do not know how to distinguish their right hand from their left.” You read the letters, start communicating with the guys - and you understand that they have purity, chastity, conscience, a thirst for truth, and a rejection of falsehood, lies, a sense of where evil is. All these gifts of God are there, they haven’t gone anywhere. They were young thirty years ago, and three centuries ago. But modern society so aggressively corrupts, so aggressively imposes sin as a norm, or even an example to follow, that it simply disfigures an unformed personality.
She is not ready to counteract such pressure, because this requires criticality, will, the ability to think independently, firmness, and the ability to withstand pressure not just from her environment, but from the whole world. Not every teenager can do this. It's easier for us adults. Remember the epitaph of Grigory Skovoroda: “The world caught me, but did not catch me”? An adult will find ways to at least, if not confront the environment, then minimize contact with it: throw away the TV, pass by a mocking, foul-smelling headline, “ban” someone who sends out porn advertisements, find like-minded friends, try to avoid situations where you have to bend your soul, will find application in that field of activity where this soul does not need to be sold... In general, an adult has the opportunity to “set up filters”... Now I am deliberately not talking about the Church - the only force that can really resist moral I'll fall apart...
In a word, an adult can protect himself, but a child is defenseless, the world will catch the child. Moreover, this is not a tragedy of one individual or his family - this is a tragedy of society. It’s bad that we haven’t realized it yet and we, like blind people, are leading our children to the slaughter. By the way, in my new book “The Cradle of Fire” there are several chapters exploring this problem: how to protect a child from the modern world, what values to instill in him.
- So, “Cradle of Fire” is about youth?
- A book about love. For young people, but not only. The book is simply a must-read for adults: mothers, fathers, those whose children are still small, and those whose offspring have already grown up. The Cradle of Fire contains the most modern stories, they allow us to see not only what we are today, but also look into the future - a book for the thinking reader. I also wanted it to unite generations so that the whole family could read it.
– You said that the book “explores a problem.” Is this journalism?
The book contains real stories of today's life, and using their example, we, together with the readers, think and explore the problem. I receive a huge number of letters, and as soon as I decided that I would start a conversation about love, I selected letters that talked about the early puberty of modern girls. And you know, it was as if a dam had broken: 15-year-old girls wrote, signing themselves “Stasya TrEshKa” or “Zlyuchka-Kalyuchka,” and their mothers, and high-brow intellectuals who tried to lead our common conversation into the philosophical jungle. Thanks to my editors Igor Chernyak and Vladislav Aleksandrovich Fronin - there were no taboo topics. We talked about the secrets of gender, about sex as an idol of our time, about virginity, about chastity, about types of love, about how to distinguish what kind of feeling a person experiences, about the destructive power of passions, about the power of eros and the weakness of man...
You know, the biggest difficulty was to write in such a way that it would be understandable both to a teenager who reads nothing but posts on the VKontakte wall, and to more enlightened people. Losing intellectuals who are always ready to challenge the point of view of N.A. Berdyaev (or V.S. Solovyov, Professor B.P. Vysheslavtsev, Archimandrite Cyprian (Kern), Christos Yannaras), I didn’t want to. I am proud that I have educated readers, much more educated than me. It makes you grow. Therefore, each time I came up with ways to captivate both young people and people who already have a taste for words, who know a lot about both literature and life. I specifically questioned Professor V.A. Voropaev, a reviewer of the book, a man of the highest culture, was he interested? And he answered in the affirmative.
– Which letters do you remember most?
– I try to select the sharpest, brightest ones. I was personally surprised by a letter from a 20-year-old guy who sincerely believed that yes, love exists (he experienced it; sometimes, as he wrote, “it lasts two days, sometimes two months, sometimes two minutes”), but love, as he thinks, “not at all.” “It was invented so that there would be something to describe in novels or poems, and then a whole industry revolved around it: “Valentine’s Day,” movies, TV series, songs, advertising, and so on.
And since such a business has already revolved around this, no one now admits that love is a deception.” The letter surprised me with its approach: he noticed that love had been turned into a commercial brand, he noticed the commercialization of everything in our world. Even love. How his peers argued with this young man! And this very open, honest letter helped me understand the psychology of a man, his perception of a woman, there are many subtle, purely male observations.
There are letters that are sarcastic. I intentionally included one of these in the book “Cradle of Fire” - it came to the Rossiyskaya Gazeta website as a comment after the article: we have complete democracy on our website. A certain lady who signed herself “Samantha-and-even-Jones (90-60-90)” was indignant: “What, have you all fallen out of the woods? I am outraged by the hypocrisy of your articles, Maria Gorodova. To sell the words of some holy fathers to young children when they promised to talk about love... well, this is too much! Since when are they the authorities in this matter?”
– Do you publish such letters in your book?
- Definitely! Such a letter is an occasion to talk about what Christianity knows about love. And by the way, who, if not the saints, can you trust in this matter? People who have learned that God is Love, not from books, know much more about love as a feeling, about love as a movement of the heart, about love as about the structure of the soul than the scriptwriters of the series “Sex and the City” - the name of the heroine of this television project the author of the letter and chose it as her nickname. This is all I explain to the author of the message. And at the same time I talk about the signs of love, its classification, how to distinguish what feelings you experience. Or they feel for you.
I remember one very typical story described by a 15-year-old girl who began her letter with the question: “Tell me, who needs virginity today?”
- And you answered?
“I wasn’t the only one who answered.” The message gave rise to a new wave of letters, a new twist on the topic: together with the readers, we thought about what virginity, chastity is, what dignity is and - most importantly! – how a girl can learn to keep these qualities within herself.
– Why did you choose such a name – “Cradle of Fire”?
– Of course, the name is not accidental. And there are many meanings there, these are very polysemantic images in themselves - both “cradle” and “fire”. And together they create a new, even deeper image. But I won’t reveal it yet - read the book and decide for yourself what this name means and what meanings it gives rise to. You can even write to me about this, the address is the same - [email protected]. I think the publishing house and I will find ways to reward those who come closest to the truth.
You can purchase the book in the online store: www.blagovest-moskva.ru
Anton Leontyev talked to Maria Gorodova
It is very important that the reader sees his own thoughts reflected in books. This characterizes the works of Maria Metlitskaya. But, in addition to helping the public understand their own “I,” her works are also light and ironic.
Love since childhood

Childhood and youth of Maria Arbatova
Ivan Gavrilovich Gavrilin, Maria’s father, in 1951, by order of his superiors, was forced to leave the capital within 24 hours. The family went to Murom, where they lived for 7 years, where the now famous social activist and TV presenter Maria Arbatova, and then simply Masha Gavrilina, was born.When the girl was one year old, her parents had the opportunity to return to Moscow. From an early age, the girl tried to swim against the tide, which did not interfere with her active work: attending the School of Young Journalists at Moscow State University, studying at the Faculty of Philosophy of Moscow State University and at the Literary Institute named after A.M. Gorky. Privately, Maria mastered the basics of psychoanalytic counseling. The girl also shared the views of the popular hippies at that time, but she did not want to be a Komsomol member for reasons of principle.
Career of Maria Arbatova
At first, Maria Arbatova benefited most from her psychology lessons. Since 1991, under her leadership, the Harmony center existed, providing psychological support to women. In 1996, Maria began private practice.Arbatova’s first work in the media sphere was her appearance on screen as a co-host of the popular women’s show “I Am Myself,” as well as work on the radio in the program “The Right to Be Yourself.”
Since the mid-90s, Maria Arbatova has been actively expressing her civic position, be it issues of politics, morality, or infringement of human rights. Since 1996, she has headed the public organization “Club of Women Intervening in Politics.” Defends the rights of minorities subject to discrimination.
Maria Arbatova took part in election campaigns and ran for State Duma deputy several times. Maria is also actively involved in literary activities. By her own admission, she first took up writing when she was sitting at home after the birth of her sons.
Maria Arbatova: politics is a narcotic thing
However, quite a lot of time has passed since her first attempts at writing, and today Maria Arbatova can boast of an extensive bibliography. She has more than two dozen published books, including “My Name is Woman,” “Farewell to the 20th Century,” “Tasting India” and others.
A number of books are published in foreign languages. She wrote three film scripts, and fourteen plays were also written by Arbatova. Maria also tried herself in cinema, although so far these were only small roles in “Day Watch” and “St. Petersburg Vacations”.
Awards for Maria Arbatova

Maria Arbatova: emigration is a problem

Personal life of Maria Arbatova
Feminist and women's rights activist Maria Arbatova never suffered from a lack of male attention.Maria first got married at the age of 18. Having met in a fashionable establishment where a bohemian crowd gathered, the young people immediately felt on the same wavelength and three days later they submitted an application to the registry office. Despite such a hasty decision to create a new unit of society, the marriage of Arbatova and musician Alexander Miroshnik lasted 17 long years. After the separation, the couple maintained friendly relations. From her first marriage, Maria left behind twin sons.
Probably, the dates in Arbatova’s life mean something, otherwise how can one explain that Vitya met her new husband Oleg on the day of her divorce from her previous one, and the day of the upcoming wedding coincided with the date Maria met Alexander? Wedding preparations again took place in such a hurry that Arbatova forgot about the need to buy a bride's dress.
According to the TV presenter, her second husband is “a super-full-fledged man.” With him, she learned that representatives of the stronger sex are not alien to the desire to solve everyday issues, and the successful career of a wife does not cause gnashing of teeth, but pride and admiration. After eight years of marriage, the couple separated. This happened without quarrels or showdowns on the anniversary of the first meeting.
Alexander Rappoport, an emigrant from the USA, became the next man who managed to win the heart of Maria Arbatova. Once again, a significant meeting took place on one of Mary’s memorable dates. On my wedding anniversary with my second husband. However, this relationship never brought the couple to the registry office.
Arbatova's third husband, Shumit Datta Gupta, came to Russia from India in 1985. Maria and her Indian boyfriend have been married for nine years. The TV presenter hopes that this relationship will not crack and they will be able to walk hand in hand for the rest of their lives.
