Lines from the poem "Do not part with your loved ones!" after the release of the New Year's comedy "The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath" they became familiar to almost everyone. This poem is called "The Ballad of a Smoky Car", its author is Alexander Kochetkov, and the history of the appearance of the poem deserves special attention.
The story of the appearance of the poem was told in her diary by the poet's wife, Nina Grigorievna Prozriteleva.
The couple spent the summer of 1932 with relatives, and Alexander Kochetkov had to leave before his wife. The ticket was bought to the Kavkazskaya station, after which it was necessary to change to the Sochi-Moscow train. According to Nina Grigorievna's recollections, the couple could not part, and already during the boarding, when the conductor asked the escorts to leave the train, Nina Grigorievna literally rescued her husband from the car. It was decided to return the ticket and postpone departure for three days. After three days, Kochetkov left and, arriving in Moscow, found that his friends had already considered him dead in the crash that happened with the Sochi-Moscow train. It turned out that those three days of delay saved the poet from inevitable death. In the very first letter from her husband, which Nina Grigorievna received, there was a poem "The Ballad of a Smoky Carriage."
Everything that happened made the poet think about the role of accidents in a person's life and about the great power of love that can save a person from the tragic vicissitudes of fate. Despite the fact that the poem was written in 1932, it was published only 34 years later in the collection "Poetry Day". However, even before publication, these heartfelt lines did not leave anyone indifferent and were passed literally by word of mouth, like the very story of its creation. After the publication of the poem "The Ballad of a Smoky Car" it began to be included in numerous collections of poems as one of the best lyric works of that time.
Alexander Kochetkov wrote many wonderful poems, but he remained in the memory thanks to his "Ballad …". More than a dozen years have passed since the day of writing "Ballad …", and the lines from this poem continue to remain the anthem of all lovers. And in any life's ups and downs, the most important thing is to always follow the poet's order: “Don't part with your loved ones!”, And then even the inevitable will recede.
