The most famous poet prodigy 1980s in the USSR was Nika Turbina … Her name was well known, she was written about in newspapers and shown on TV, E. Yevtushenko contributed to the publication of a book of her poems when the girl was only 9 years old. In the 1990s, she was forgotten: the genius child grew into an ordinary teenager. Nika Turbina continued to write poetry, but they were no longer published. She drank a lot and could not find her place in life. At the age of 27, her life was cut short under very incomprehensible circumstances: either suicide, or an accident. Her name has become undeservedly forgotten today.
Nika Turbina suffered from asthma, from the age of 4 she could not sleep at night and constantly muttered something - these words lined up in rhythmic lines. She said that the Voice dictates the poems to her. In 1983, her poems were published in Komsomolskaya Pravda, a year later Yevgeny Yevtushenko helped publish the collection "Draft", which was later translated into 12 languages. She was the first after Anna Akhmatova to receive the prestigious Golden Lion award in Italy. A special conference was held in America on the technique of translating her poems.
She was called "an emotional explosion, a brilliant talent, an alien from outer space, a child Pushkin, a poetic Mozart." She wrote poems that were very adult in her attitude: My life is a rough draft. All my luck and bad luck Remain on it, Like a cry torn by a shot.
High hopes were pinned on her, perhaps too high for a child to cope with. At the age of 13, she realized that she did not live up to the hopes of Yevgeny Yevtushenko, because he stopped doing her. At 13 and a half years old, she left home. Three years later, she left for Switzerland and married her attending psychiatrist. She was 16, he was 76.
A year later, Nika Turbina returned to Moscow. Problems with alcohol, memory lapses, nervous breakdowns began. The only person who tried to help her and truly loved her was her teacher Alena Galich. But she could not keep her from drunkenness, suicide attempts and ridiculous antics. Nika loved to open the window wide open and sit on the windowsill with her legs hanging down. Once she could not resist and fell from the fifth floor. Then they could save her and cure her.
Many of her words became prophetic. She has spoken about her death many times since childhood. Foresaw an unhappy, hectic and short life. In one of her last interviews she said: “I am sure that I will not have grandchildren, as well as children. At least in the very near future. And in the very near - too. I am afraid that I will not live to see the moment when I want to give birth."
Nobody knows for certain what the circumstances of her death were. Either she again inadvertently fell out of the window, or she stumbled by accident, and her common-law husband, always drunk, did not help her. Relatives argue that this was not suicide - there are witnesses who heard her cries for help. Alena Galich made sure that she was buried at the Vagankovskoye cemetery - where famous poets are buried. Nika Turbina was only 27 years old.
After her death, there were many publications - both about her addiction to alcohol and drugs, and about the fact that her children's poems were written not by her, but by her mother, and so on in the same spirit. They only forgot to say that Nika Turbina was deprived of her childhood, that fame fell on her too early, oblivion too early, and there was no one who could help cope with loneliness and her own demons. Talented children are always riveted on the attention of the general public: animals drawn by an 11-year-old child prodigy, arouse interest not only in his native Serbia, but also abroad.
