Evgen Khaldei: Peremoga photographer

Like Wikipedia, in the famous photo “Parpor Peremogi over the Reichstag”, the name of not Yegorov and Kantaria was fixed.
"The sign was taken at the beginning of the TARS Photo Chronicle by photo artist Yevgen Khaldey on January 2, 1945. Before winter, I took a few photographs of possible ensigns over the names of the Radiansk cities: Novorossiysk, Kerch, Sevastopol.

Ensign with a hammer and sickle, embellishments in the photograph, Khaldei brought with him. Following the advice of Chaldea, he asked the king Israel Kishitzer to sew three ensigns from red tablecloths. The sickle, the hammer and the star of Khaldei virizav himself from white fabric.
Arriving to Berlin, Khaldei took pictures from the skin of the three ensigns.

The first ensign was set far in front of the Reichstag, at the headquarters of the 8th Army, belya sculpture of an eagle, which is sitting on the ground coulis. Khaldei climbed up there with three fighters and took a sprat of photographs.

Another ensign was installed over the Brandenburg Gate. Outside Chaldea, vranci On January 2, 1945, Lieutenant Kuzma Dudeev, Sergeant Ivan Andreev and Vin climbed onto the Brandenburz Gate, raised the ensign and made a sign. On the way back, Chaldea had a chance to shave from the great heights, and smashed his legs.

If Chaldea got to the Reichstag, for whom the fascists were killed, the ensigns were already installed impersonal there. Having eaten on a lot of soldiers, taking out your ensign and asking them for help to get on the dachas. Knowing the right point for picking up, taking two cassettes. Ensign Oleksiy Kovalyov from Kiev was tied up. So the foreman of the Guards of the Guards of the Chervonopraporny Order of Bogdan Khmelnytsky of the Zaporizhsky Rifle Division Abdulkhakim Ismailov from Dagestan and the Minsker Leonid Gorichiv helped.

Until the history, it will be the last option. And not in vain - the author worked on it for a long time, putting on a lot of contrast for additional contrast retouching. Prote in the course of the work from the right hand of the fight, which utrimuє the ensign, the sign of the anniversary, but on the lion is still over. Tі, hto chto chto varianti znіmku "Ensign over the Reichstag" vyslovlyulyalis pripuscheny, scho photographer navmisno "having taken" another anniversary, sob on the valiant warriors of the Chervonoy Army did not fall into looting. Evgen Harley himself never commented on such things.

And now the military photographs of the famous photographer. Just mystical.

The legendary photographer, who immortalized his own skills, who knows, knows, everything...

Evgeniy Ananyevich Khaldei was born on April 10, 1916 in Ukraine, in the mining town of Yuzivka (now Donetsk). In the hour and the middle of the year, they did not even feel the bezkhmarny childishness: in Ukraine, there were battles of the Gromadyansk war, and in the course of the war, they alternated with the rozvagoy loved in quiet places - Jewish pogroms. Batkіv Yevgena, right-wing jews, it was the most tragic rank. In 1917, when the pogromists escaped into their house, their mother was driven in, and the future photographer, whom she covered up with her body, having wiped off her first wound. Kulya, who passed through the body of her mother, got stuck under the rub of a child, and Evgen survived only the wounds of the musills of the medical assistant.


Evgen Khaldei with a Speed ​​Graphic camera, presented to you by Robert Kapoy, a legendary American photographer, one of the founders of the Magnum agency. Nuremberg, born in 1946 Khaldei said that Goering did not forget about the blow with his club and specially covered his face with his waist, if he respected what the Russian photographer wanted to spend with him in one frame.

So, history laughed. A Jewish lad, who by a miracle survived the hour of the pogrom, photographed the leaders of the fascist Nazi Germany through the rocks.

Evgen Khaldei: “Once an American chief photographer came to us and said that since we have sleeping bags, we can go through with him. We were led to a place of about 40 square meters. There were tables for the walls, there was no light. Chotiri people were sitting at the leather table. Here on the sign - Goering, Rosenberg, Admiral Denitz and von Schirach. Keitel sat together from Jodl. I passed the bridle with my camera and took it with a sleeping bag. Keitel curled up with his hand. Then I'll go to the table with Gering. Other photographers left - Americans and Frenchmen - without saying anything. Ale swayed my Russian uniform, then started screaming. "What is it, you can't have a quiet meal!" Vіne nalyakav me. Here the American lieutenant chimed in and asked who was on the right, why Goering was rehearsing. I can't understand, I say. I want to take more pictures. The lieutenant pid_yshov to Goering and having said, shchob vіn having pinned shouting. Ale that didn’t get in. Then the lieutenant lifted his club and gave Geringov the potilice. The next day it became quiet.


Evgen Khaldei: “I wanted to photograph Goering from an extraordinary perspective. Alece Bulo fenced. I came home from the secretary of the Radyansk court Nikitenko. For a dance of gin, I gave up my place for a couple of years.







After the war, under the hour of fighting with the cosmopolitans, Chaldea was given a hefty earl. Talanovitiy, already a legendary photographer, lost his job. Cicavi document saved:

Shanovny comrade SUSLOV!

I ask you to help me, photojournalists, who propraciuvav at the Radian press for 16 years, a member of the party, to increase my ability and give me a chance to work for fah.

Meni 33 rocky. In 1933, I gradually worked at the TARS photo chronicle and gradually became one of the leading TARS photo correspondents. I was entrusted with the most important hirings: the life of Dniproges, the organization of the first collective hospitals, the launch of the domain for Donbass too.

Even a lot of my photos were greeted on the sides of the central newspapers. From the first days of the Great Vitchiznyanoy war, I pishov at the fierce Viysk-Navy Fleet.

Perebuvayuchy at the lava of the Radyansk Army, stretching out the last few years of the war, I was an uninterrupted participant in the defense of the storming of Sevastopol, the Caucasus, the storming of Novorosijsk, the landing at the Kerch metro station. With the leading parts of the Radian military, I entered Bucharest, Sofia, Budapest, Belgrade, Vision and Berlin. I took the fate of the defeated landings at Harbin and Port Arthur.

I have enlarged the photographs of the ensign of Peremoga set by the Radiansky Viysks in Sevastopol, in Port Arthur and above the Reichstag near Berlin, passed all the Radiansky newspapers and published dossi at the link with the anniversary dates.

The photo chronicle of TARS repeatedly sent me to the out-of-the-way weddings and distant meetings: I held the appointment of comrade I.V.

For all 14 years of work in TARS, I have not had a good party chi administrative contraction and many times my work was considered to be submissive.

It’s completely natural, which for me became a sympathetic inability to work for me in TARS on July 6, 1948 “for fast tripods”.

For me, it is obvious that this formulation is just a formal drive for my TARS call.

Prote I did not have a moment to reach the TARS clerks, as if it were the right reason for my call.

Since midnight 1948, I have been unsuccessfully trying to get my hands on pracciuvati. I went down to the bottom of the editorial boards and organizations (Soviet Information Bureau, the magazines "SRSR on Budіvnitstvі" and "Vognik"). Wanting all these organizations to be infected in me as a qualified practitioner, I am strongly encouraged, taking advantage of the ambiguity of the reasons for my call to TARS.

The editors of the magazine "Vognik" turned down the photographs I had made, informing me about those that, if you want pictures, stinks cannot be inflicted on my names.

The editorial office of the journal "SRSR on Budіvnitstvі" covered me up and published six of the znіmkіv іnіmkіv іѕtoriko-dokumentarnogo character in the issue, dedicated to the 70th birthday of comrade I.V. STALIN, without indicating my name among the authors.

I respect that the camp of speeches, that having happened, is unacceptable. Without any excuses and without explanation of the reasons for me, an honest Radyansky hulk and a communist, they imitate, allow for legal copyrights, and in fact do not give me the opportunity to practice for a specialty.

For 15 months, I didn’t get far enough to control the work. I am furiously sent for help to the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks. I ask you to give a letter of inquiry to my right, and to give me the opportunity to continue to work with the press.

I add 28 photographs that I have cut to the last sheet.

Viden, 1945 Evgen Khaldei: “I’m going to the park to wake up the parliament, to take the colony of soldiers. I shook this picture. A woman was sitting on the bench, beaten with two shots - in the head of that one, next to her was the dead half of the fifteenth century that girl. Trochs on the vіdstanі lying the corpse of the father of the family. On the lapel of the vіn mav is a gold badge of the NSDAP, and a revolver is on the charge. (…) Fidbіg watchman from budіvlі parliament:

Vіn zsunuv lavi at once, commanded the women of the system, those same commanded the children. I don't understand that you are going to work. And then I shot the matir ta sina. The girl resisted, then laid her on the lava and shot him. Vіdіyshov killed, glancing at the result and shooting himself.



Obviously, the deacons of the most important robots of the master were staged, they made the famous photo with the ensign raised.


- On the evening of April 11, 1945, I turned to Moscow from Sunday. The editorial staff of the TARS Photo Chronicle, having also worked, punished me at an early age to fly to Berlin. An order is an order, and I began to get out.

Rozumiv, that Berlin is the end of the war. At that hour, I didn’t turn back from the wind without a sign, de boulo saw the ensign over the bells or the taken places. Mabut, these signs - an ensign over Novorossiysk, over Kerch, over Sevastopol, they sounded exactly for the river to Peremoga, - one of the most beloved by me and the most dear ones.
For sure, I knew that the best mother ensign from myself. A well-known kravets, with whom I live near Leontievsky provulk, helped me to sew three ensigns. I cut a zirka, a sickle and a hammer, and a screw. In the morning, all three ensigns were ready. Rushed to the airfield and flew near Berlin.
An ensign was sewn from a red tablecloth by an old kravets (Israel Solomonovich Kishitser) on the death of his nephew Yevgen Khaldei.


Tsіkavі non-staging shots, yakі, perhaps, not so artistic, but in the same way tsіnіshi:





































Evgen Khaldei

Im'ya Evgena Khaldei in the house is not rich, his photographs are usim. We take two: the icon “Ensign over the Reichstag”, which became the right symbol of Peremog, was celebrated at the grass of 1945, that famous photograph “The First Day of the War”, one, was taken in Moscow on 22 chervnya 1941. Two shots to give bright, al, zrozumіlo, nepovne vyavlennya about the work of Yevgen Khaldei.

Yogo shots of 1941-1946, who knew the war in the wake of the slander about the attack of Niemachchini on the SRSR before the Nurember trial, went around the whole world and provided illustrations in obscure handbooks, documentary books, encyclopedias. Z yogo znіmkіv marvel at us the foremost workers and stakhanіvtsі, soldiers and generals, bezturbatnі children and occupied by sovereign rights of party officials, without suspension miners and heads of world powers. These photographs have become history - the history of a majestic country, and the history of one person, the great master, who subtly discerns the essence and sense of his work, who has the gift of wine-colored creativity, honoring the heroes of his intelligence.

Evgeniy Ananyevich Khaldei was born on April 10, 1916 in Ukraine, in the mining town of Yuzivka (now Donetsk). In the hour and the middle of the year, they did not even feel the bezkhmarny childishness: in Ukraine, there were battles of the Gromadyansk war, and in the course of the war, they alternated with the rozvagoy loved in quiet places - Jewish pogroms. Batkіv Yevgena, right-wing jews, it was the most tragic rank. In 1917, when the pogromists escaped into their house, their mother was driven in, and the future photographer, whom she covered up with her body, having wiped off her first wound. Kulya, who passed through the body of her mother, got stuck under the rub of a child, and Evgen survived only the wounds of the musills of the medical assistant. The orphaned lad was adopted by the grandmother, as if Yevgen was swayed by the Jewish traditions.

In the meantime, the interests of the lad from the youngest age were right on the religious plane. The future photographer obviously took care of the better job of the photo studio, de vin worked as a submaster, helping the sussid photographer to wash and dry the shots.

In 1928, in 1928, in the whole of 12 years, Evgen Khaldei zmaistrovav his first camera: the lens of the granny's eyepieces served as the lens, and the sizable cardboard box served as the body. For the help of whom I will build a wine, having made my first sign, which depicted a bowl of a church. The Church of the Nevdovs was ruined, and the boy, who, having become a hero of historical photography, began to insinuate himself about the power of photography. Vtim, the era to such thoughts is not small. In 1930 famine began in Ukraine.

Evgen Khaldei, who until 1930 graduated from five grades of secondary school, attributed one more grade to himself and became a cleaner at the steam locomotive depot. The burden of the robot has become a vital task: the working card provided for the ration of 800 grams of bread per day. Before that, the robot brought new financial and creative possibilities. Khaldei, from the stitching on the river, added a camera Photocor-1 and took up photography of the factory life with enthusiasm. On one of the tsikh znіmkіv, who took the robot worker from the gas tank, having lost the respect of the editor of the factory newspaper. Tse became the beginning of the work biography of Chaldea the photographer. Nezabara vіn svіvpratsyuvav vіn prіvpratsyuvav vіn prіvpratsіv іn bagatоriаzhії on a postіynіy osnovі, taking part іn the whole type of distributing the circulation by the workshops until the vyomka of the foremost virobnitstv. Spivpratsyuvav Khaldei and the propaganda brigade - here he took up the issue of the wall newspaper.

At the same time, the photographer has been flustered with the most primitive possessions, crushed with overwhelmingly wet hands. For the main "experts of brewing" there was already a chamber with a cable and a stick with a nailed lid in the form of a cream, in which magnesium powder was spread on the wool. Chaldea got started on the go: the editor helped him with some help, the first photographer looked at the Kharkiv and Kiev newspapers, at the Proletarian Photo magazine, and this suggested life itself.

With such a stretch one can call only the brochures “Photographers in the life of socialism”, “Photos at the robotic political office of MTS and radgospiv”, “20 rules for photo reporting” and іn. - to the fact that the accomplices were assigned to the big ideological zmist of photographs and to the correct representations of the radyansk people, who denounced that they could but “hoist the idea of ​​inspiring communist supremacy”. Techniques are asi Khaldei, having shrugged off the words “self-sufficient” from the word “self-sufficient”.

The enthusiasm and talent of the photographer quickly began to bear fruit. The photographer spoke with the Ukrainian Presphoto, and later with the Soyuzfoto agency near Moscow. At this organization, five-fifteen-year-old Khaldei at the cardboard box fixed his glass negatives - for a skin sign, acceptances at the photo library of the agency, the photographer was paid 5 rubles. 1933 Khaldei zustrіv at the newspaper "Stalinskiy robіtnik". On the її first smuzі often appeared editorials with the famous Chaldean photographs, the main rank of reporting signs and portraits of miners from picks and hammers. They commemorated Khaldei with a new name and promoted it again - the newspaper "Socialist Donbas" became a new place for the work of a photographer. Vіm, the glory of the photographer has already gone beyond the newspaper. In 1935 and 1936, two years later, photographs of the twenty-year-old Chaldea won a prize for a friend at the All-Donetsk photo exhibitions.

In 1936, Khaldei came to Moscow to subdue Moscow. Successful marriage to a young photographer - joining the work at the Photo Chronicle of TARS. Utіm, at the capital of Chaldea without hovering. For a new life, a rose of life has begun: rebuilding in Western Ukraine, Yakutia, Karelia and Belarus. Intensive work has sown the development of creative craftsmanship, which Chaldea and the best masters of modernity can learn from the best masters of modernity - for their photographs in the journals "SRSR on everyday life" and "Vognik".

The formula for success is the precise direction of a skin mark, a retelling view of future heroes, a vigilant view of the best reach of the Radiant craft. These fates are to be shattered by the reportage style of photography by Oleksiy Stakhanov and Pasha Angelina, the classic portraits of the young M. Rostropovich and D. Shostakovich - one of the most famous Chaldea's robots of peacetime.

Ale, the peaceful hour has reached the end.

“I turned back on 22 chernyas to Tarkhan, which marked the 100th anniversary of the day of Lermontov’s death,” Evgen Khaldei said in his notes. - I knew there the lads from the silsky literary group. One lad read the verse: “Tell me, uncle, even Moscow is not without reason, I’ll burn it down ...”, and I asked him to repeat the rows anew and anew, to make good doubles. Yakby, you know!
I arrived in France to Moscow, went to the house - and I'm alive not far from the German embassy, ​​I marvel - the Germans from cars vivantage the knots with speeches and bring them to the embassy. I don't get scared in a moment, what's going on. And about the 10th wound, they phoned from the photo chronicle and punished the term to appear at work. About the 11th Levitan began to speak on the radio "Respect, like Moscow, all radio stations are working ... About the 12th year, an important announcement will be transmitted." Vіn kept repeating the whole year - the nerves of all were on the border. About the 12th, having pierced the voice of Molotov. Vіn trohi zaїkavsya.
And then we felt worse: "... our places of Kiev, Minsk, Bialystok were bombed..."

Yevgen Khaldei uvіyshov to a group of correspondents in the military, as if they were going to the front.

Having spent wine on the Pivnіchny fleet, and sweating all the war, wearing a black sea uniform. With my Leica camera I went through the whole war, all 1418 days and went from Murmansk to Berlin. Khaldei depicting Paris to the rally of ministers of foreign rights, the defeat of the Japanese to the Far Departure, the conference of the heads of the allied powers at Potsdam, the signing of the act of capitulation of Nimechi. Vіn taking part in the freedom of Sevastopol, the storming of Novorossiysk, Kerch, the freedom of Romania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Austria, the Ugrian region, and at the Nuremberg trial, photographs were presented among the speech evidence.

Tsіkava's history is connected with the famous photograph "A banner over the Reichstag".

Evgen Khaldei himself rose to the occasion, like everyone else did: "I worked at the TARS photo chronicle. Raptom the chief called out and it seems that you need a term to fly to Berlin. .

But I don’t know a red ensign near Berlin! Regimental ensign, since there are still battles going on, they won’t let me in ... Virishiv piti until the start of the photo chronicle. A friend Kaplinsky worked there.

Viruchay, Kapa... I’m flying to Berlin, I need enough red material for an ensign.

Where will I, Zhenya, take away the red material?

And remember, if we had vocational gatherings, you covered the table with a red cloth ... So it’s necessary for the tracts of vipadkivs ... Don’t worry, I’ll turn you around ...

With this chervonim material, I write to the familiar edge: "Moses, - I say, - is a terminology robot"!

What can be new terms, lower those that our military can take the axis-axis of Berlin and slander "dem gazlen Hitler" (Hitler's evil)?

Mabut, you're making a walkie-talkie. I'm just for cієї help tomorrow I fly to Berlin. You, Moses, help me, Musish.

All night long we were chuckling over the scarlet cloth. Kravets sewing three prapori. On one nav_t I caught a stitch, a little star, a sickle, and a hammer. And when I cut the material, - a friend of Capa urged me to...

At Berlin, with three soldiers, I destroyed a historical sign to the already shabby Reichstag. So-and-so the Dahu got away. It was necessary to choose such a point for the zomka, so that not only the flag could be seen, but the Berlin street. I know at a distance I built a statue and turned to the soldiers: "Who can climb on this figure and attach an ensign"

I'm zooming, - the young machine gunner shouted.

On the mountain, they knew a holder and attached a red cloth to a new one. The machine gunner climbed onto the statue, and a friend insured yoga.

On the same day, in the evening, I flew to Moscow with a photographic document. Overlapped the control marks. Passing it on to the build editor. Palgunov, the general director of TARS himself, raptom me aloud:

Chaldea, what did you bring?

Yak scho"? Signs from the Reichstag.

Look more respectfully. Do you want to show our marauders to the world of light?

I became sternly looking at the soldiers. Indeed, in one of them, a year-old man leaned down on both hands. I had a chance to go to the laboratory and clean a couple of wrist years from the hands of a machine gunner to a friend.

Then I turned back to Berlin, having seen the fallen capital of Nimechchina, the soldier-victims, like they left their autographs on the columns of the Reichstag, the maiden-regulatory woman, who stalked the transport of the Brandenburg gates.

Uminnya not only vikoristovuvat on their own meekness furnish, but for the need to work small productions, Chaldea needed a new hour of hire at the Nurember trial. Here the photographer got stuck with the impossibility of changing the pickup point: the photographer was blocked from moving around the hall, and all the participants in the process occupied the same place. The problem was overcome by a bribe of defense - for two balls of whiskey wine, he waited at the right time to poke his head in order to allow the photographer to film Gering in the right way.

And fate earlier, Khaldei saw another great sign, which fixed Stalin in his white parade uniform at the day of the Potsdam Conference.

However, after the war, important hours came for Eugene Chaldea. For the "fifth article" yoga is called from TARS. The official formula was bulo, ozozumilo, otherwise - "short trips", and for a lesser general vehemence of party officials, Chaldea was given as a photographer bulo "nedocily". Yogo signs reappeared in the central press only after ten years, if Khaldei joined the work in the Pravda newspaper, de propratsiuvav fifteen years. Sixty years of Khaldei wrote a series of great reports, for which one can note a report about students of the Moscow University and a report about the sailing of the Radiansk nuclear-powered icebreaker "Lenin". In 1973, Khaldei was hired as a photojournalist to the editorial office of the newspaper "Radyanska kultura"; Yogo im'ya, scho grimilo zі storіnok front-line editorials, began to forget. Vtіm, for professionals Evgen Khaldei, like before, having lost sight.

For the most part, historical justice was no more than 1995 fate, two fates for the death of Evgen Khaldei. For some reason, at the photojournalism festival near Perpignan (France), Chaldea was honored with the greatest meter of Russian photography, American Joe Rosenthal, and by special decree of the French President, the photographer was given the title of Literary Officer of the Order of Mystery and Literature. In the same place in Perpіnyanі there was a recording of Eugene Chaldea and Mark Grosse. At that time, the director of the Icart-Photo photography school, who had repeatedly entered the jury of the famous World Press Photo contest, Mark Grosse, having already written his monograph about Eugene Chaldea, somehow came up with the title “Chaldey. Artist from the Radian Union.

Also in 1995, exhibitions of Chaldea's photographs were held in the USA with great success. Even though they were forgotten, the robots of the TARS photojournalist still took their place in the golden fund of light photography. In every case, the French critics say so strongly, with such a “Ensign over the Reichstag” there are “be-like people in a shady world”, and “an invisible part of our collective witness”.

Khaldei spent most of his life in uncertainty and left the fates of his life, until 1997, while away at a small Moscow apartment on a modest pension. This small apartment has turned into a photo lab and a collection space for colleagues. Having continued to take up photography, loved by the right, like having seen 65 fates of your life, navit that, if you couldn’t accurately direct the sharpness to the best without the help of students. Evgen Khaldei died on July 7, 1997.

Im'ya Yevgen Khaldei is seen, madly, by all professional photographers and critics. However, a wide-eyed star does not know who is the author of the well-known yoma literally from a school of lava, historical ones, you can boldly affirm iconic signs. Tim an hour, the correspondent himself, having created one of the most famous personnel of the country's culture - the ensign of Peremogi was erected over the future of the Berlin Reichstag in early 1945. This photograph marked the triumph of the conquerors and the collapse of fascism. Vaughn for ever inscribed Chaldea in the annals of history, she secured a place for you in the pantheon of the most important reporters of the 20th century.

But do not marvel at such a symbolic podia, your creativity was not limited by one more thing. For all his creative career, Khaldei achieved success near Moscow, the Arctic, on the Dniprobud, near Harbin, Port Arthur. Vіn having filled the majestic and most famous archives.

The middle robot of Yevgen Ananyevich was a sign of the light of the world: the Potsdam Peace Conference, the signing of the act of capitulation by the Nimechchina at the war, the defeat of the Japanese enemy forces of the Far Descent.

At the beginning of the Other Holy War, the photographer in the name of the editors of TARS worked on the Viysk-sea ship. For help, Leiki helped his co-workers, and their baits, to help them, that on the battlefields from the White Sea to Nimechchin. Accuracy and crispness look in the totality with the greatest professionalism and human qualities: courage, willingness to risk, - Chaldea was called by a truly prominent photographer. These frames served as evidence at the Nurember trials over the guilt of the evildoers of Nazism, and the court of wines itself, before the speech, knew the same.


Childishness and cob kar'eri

Evgen Khaldei was born in the city, today known as Donetsk. At the quarter of 1916, when the wines appeared in the world, the town was called Yuzivka, and it was a classic settlement, we got it at the right time. Tse was assigned to the boy. If Yevgen Chaldei was more than a river, at the hour of the Jewish pogroms they killed yoga mother (she covered her son with herself, who had taken off only one wound in the cool).

Grandma wiggled Zhenya. Starting before the 13th century in the cheder, vіn began to practice. At 12 rokіv Khaldei having built his first camera - he himself, for the help of details, that knowledge, having taken it off, acknowledging it as a submaster at the photomaster. Like an objective, I won the lens, like pulling it off my grandmother's eyepieces. The first sign of the photomaster was the city church.

Juniy Volodar of historical evidence began to wonder about the career of a photographer, but through hunger, which was fierce in the region in 30 rocks, and angered the robot at the locomotive depot. They saw rations there, and they also paid - not much, but enough, so that Evgen bought a "right" camera for the VIP - Photokor-1.

In the photograph, with which the young man generously shared, having gained respect, the editor of one of the factory newspapers. Nezabarom Khaldei, having become spivpratsyuvat with her on a permanent basis, spitting photo reports from the life of the propaganda brigades and workers at the shops and on the everyday life. When tsimu vin often buv zmusheniya pratsyuvati nayprimіtivnіshoy, chi not self-sufficient technique, read on the go.

Unparalleled talent and majestic commitment bore fruit - Evgen Ananyevich was asked to work with Presfoto, the leading Ukrainian reporting organization, as well as with the great newspaper Socialist Donbas. He had already won prizes at exhibitions for the twenty-year-old number of wines, having become an object of interest to the Soyuzfoto agency and in 1936 he moved to Moscow. There yoga was adopted as a practice in TARS, and Khaldei became a traveler throughout the SRSR, knowing in Yakutia, Karelia, Minsk and so on. In the middle of the master's reach are reports about Stakhanov and Pasha Angelina (final leaders of virobnitsa), a portrait of Dmitri Shostakovich.

At the peak of the Kar'ieri of Chaldea, at once from the strength of the country, war has come.

Zyomka at the hour of the Other World

Yevgen Khaldey went to the front as a correspondent for Viysk - he happened to serve on the Pivnichny Fleet. Putting on a uniform and taking a Leica camera in your hands, becoming a photographer, like a goiter for a hostile chronicle. Khaldei was a sign of the permission of Sevastopol and Kerch, he passed through the Viysk ways from Brest and Minsk to Nimechchina through Rumunia, Ugorshchina, Austria.

If the Radian soldiers stormed Berlin, Khaldei was near Moscow. Behind the term viklik vіn vіlіtіv to Nіmechchini, to create that very epochal photograph - “Ensign over the Reichstag”. So, at the same time, we all know that the composition was specially organized by him (Evgeny Ananyevich rozpoviv about himself), but he does not apply either the historical or artistic value of the image. Climbing at once from machine gunners to the dachas of the Reichstag, in one photograph they depicted all the hopes of that people, the triumph of victory that spirit.

The press, which circulated the sign in millions of copies, showed that the names of the soldiers were changed as a reportage. The mastery of the photographer does not seem to be less – just like that, it is phenomenal for the moment. Vono allowed Chaldea to see from the bottom of the keys, and in the skin details on the images, the boov sense, which gave the photographs depth.

Okrim Berlin podium, Evgen Khaldey photographing the Nurember trials: the robot was made more comfortable by the fact that correspondents were not allowed to move around the courtroom. It was necessary to know the most accurate and most effective angle, to slander the smut in what is being seen. Chaldea was able to entice the defense, to take a handy position in order to capture Goering from a distant angle.

It's a pity that the mustaches didn't help Evgen Ananyovich nadali.

Work at the war hour

If they came up with a different plan, then large-scale purges began. Having suffered in them, Khaldei: for example, the 40s of the 40s of the year were called from TARS - for the “underdetermination of victoria” and the low level of illumination, but really for the national sign (“P'yata statya”). Vіn zmіg vlastuvatisya less at the magazine about the artist's self-discipline.

Only in 1957, the roci meister can turn to a large-scale work - buw acceptances before Pravda. For fifteen years of service at the largest radiansk newspaper and in the name of students of the Moscow University, and atomic war "Lenin", and various thematic stories. In 1972, the photographer moved to Radyanskaya Kultury, and propraciuvav until his retirement.

At the first personal exhibition near Sevastopol, one of the most famous Radian prose writers, sings, screenwriter, journalist, and the hromdsky fiend Kostyantin Simonov entered the floor.

The right light of knowledge came to Chaldea only as a reminder of life - in 1995 roci. The very same yom was awarded honorary honor to the city of the world of mysticism - the Person of the Order. At the festivals at the French Perpinyan, for the special decision of the president of the country, Evgen Khaldei was accepted as a legendary correspondent for the military. A short time before the master's death, like May 1997, a European documentary film about a new man was released in America.

Yevgeniy Ananyevich Khaldei died in Zhovtni 1997, and through the river with a large-scale exhibition in Moscow, spivvitchizniks were waving yoga.

The talent of the maestro poked at the moment, and at the same time the emotional message, like the scene conveys. Dynamics, viraz appearance, posture - all the same "practice on the result" that helps to convey the idea to the viewer. It’s not only the numerical scientists of Evgen Ananjovich who are roaming, but also the light of photography. In the 2000s, exhibitions of the master were held in Russia, Europe and the United States, and in 2014 Leica itself, which was the emblem of the Reichstag, was sold at auction for 200,000 dollars.

Evgen Khaldei is a classic stock of a nugget photographer. Lyudina became a master not just for the sake of a happy environment, but for everything. Evgen (for the passport - Yukhim) was born in Donetsk, which was also called Yuzivka. This was the 10th anniversary of the revolutionary 1917. In 1918, if the lads had not yet turned to fate, having seen the Jewish pogrom with a marvel - a sack, which the mother drove in, which the silence blunted, wounded Yukhim.

Zmalku pratsyuvav at the factory, in 13 years with lenses in the grandmother's eyepieces and boxes, having built my first camera. How to be found in the Donbass, "the boy was commemorated" - they asked for the factory newspaper, and then the self-taught photographer's career went on growing.


On the eve of the Great Vitchiznya Khaldei already worked at the photo chronicle of TARS, on 22 Cherry, 1941, having made a sign, yak on Mikilsky Street (25th Zhovtnya) Muscovites hear the news about the cob of war, and go to the front. Starting from the Pvnіchny fleet, but for the sake of chotiri rocks to the objective of the unchangeable "lake" they spent battles in Novorossiysk and Sevastopol, near Rumunia, Bulgaria, Austria. Your most important sign "Parpor Peremogi over the Reichstag" was robbed, if the main battles had already ended. The editors needed a photo-symbol, a photo-poster. Rozumiyuchi, that the ensign of a part of it will not be given to you, and the other red ensign in Berlin is not known, the photographer in front of the villot has prepared three ensigns, zroblenі zі tablecloths. I knew three soldiers, who helped him to get on the daks, and then they themselves called, setting the ensign. With this sign, after the turn, there was an incident - one of the soldiers on both hands can see a year-old. The photographer's arguments, that on the right hand there was a better fight for all the compass, they did not become rumors - they simply retouched the “zayvy” annual.

As part of the Biennale "Fashion and Style in Photography" we present a retrospective exhibition of the work of Yevgen Khaldei, dedicated to the history of this great artist. Shards are the topic of our rock “Wind of the hour”, we are talking about those, like, how the atmosphere of the era is reflected in the robots of us in front of the photographers, the shards of photography itself are the most significant visual event of the era for us. We thought it would be a good idea to start a retrospective of the photographs of Evgen Chaldei, with which our museum has been working for a long time. The first great exhibition, dedicated to Moscow, was celebrated in 1997, when the 850th anniversary of the capital was celebrated. Also, a grandiose biennial "Moscow for the eyes of Russian and foreign photographers" was held, and we showed even the cicadas of Chaldea's robots.

Yogo the whole world knows as a photographer from the Soviet Union, we are in front of the famous sign "Peremog's Ensign over the Reichstag". And rozpochinav vіn his creative activity in the middle of the 30s. I actually did not let the camera out of my hands until the last days of my life. The photographer is charismatic, whose frame is charged with a brand-new energy, vin, posture is vague, leaving a priceless note to his hour. And it’s not less than this miraculous personal photolithopis of the Great Vitchiznyanoi war, although we want the images of the front line itself to become a classic. Yevhen Khaldei works at the funds of our museum, and if before the last anniversary of the Peremohy we were preparing an exhibition “Dedicated to Viysk photographers”, it is significant that a special distribution was made for him. Priceless recession - like a man succumbed to war, like a bula on him from the first until the rest of the day and with a camera went to Berlin that Sunday.

For the most part, I would like to share all aspects of Yevgen Khaldei's creative activity. For three years, we intensively worked at once with our daughter Ganna Efimivna, scanned the greatness of a handful of negatives, some of them were not at all friendly. That is why the exhibition is called Nevidomy Khaldei. And we show it like some archived records that are saved with us, so new photos, like specially handled negatives by hand. I am inspired that it will be a miracle exhibition, so that I can add just lovers of photography, and all those who love the history of our country, even more lower for the 50-year-old creative activity of Khaldei, leaving the most famous spadshchina. The exhibition will open on April 17th.

Anna Khaldei, daughter of Evgen Khaldei

1947 the rock of yoga was called from TARS nibito for the day of the world's enlightenment. In fact, the reason for the bula was "the earl's heel." For the past eleven years, until the father was accepted to Pravda, having worked as a freelancer in unknown places, to the kshtalt “Club and Artistic Self-Dialism” or “Bulletin of the Association of Cultural Relations from the Cordon”, trying to know the name of the times. Ale in the city of vines, having made wonderful photographs about the new country of war - the Kolgospi in Ukraine, Dniproges, Azovstal ... Vin showing what can be done and continuing his work. Mark trimav, loving his profession and to the banal photographic hack, never allowed himself to stoop.

Nayvіdomіsha yogo photograph, without a doubt, "Peremog's flag over the Reichstag". Її light glory for the father was unsustainable, but it was necessary to take care of it more urgently: having revealed wines, having seriously prepared before that respite to Berlin. The story about the red tablecloths, having made three ensigns from some of these wines and having successively taken their positions at the Tempelhof airfield, on the Brandenburg Gate and on the Reichstasis, has become a textbook. But in those days in Berlin, the father, having made a lot of photographs, became familiar. For a long time, a significant part of what he had taken during the war was not particularly requested, only until the Christmas celebration of the 20th river of Peremogi showed interest in veterans of those military photographs. Todi Khaldey, picking up signs for the Chergovskaya exhibition of what I saw, having told about what the negatives say about him: “He took Vaska from you, and he blew me on the side, and why I’m the head, we shed blood there.” Maybe, for that very reason, the fates of the war in the years and the last work, roaring the heroes of their military personnel. Tim is no less, one of his photographs he saw - the construction of Nuremberg. Papa has told that he is guilty, having already known the point of hiring and having made a few cadres, still not respecting the right broken and long-term check, until the sun sinks lower and becomes brighter and more dramatic. If in the 1990s the whole frame was shown at exhibitions at Vidnia, there was only one food in the experts: how did the author finish the academy of photography?

Having photographed the father steadily, it’s not a moment to live without him. I myself win, to the point of speech, loving to be photographed, and not just to eat in the frame. Check everything, find a spot, put together the right plan, and then give the camera, so we pushed it down the slope. Having known richly from my native country, literally from the first days of knowing my mother, the magnificent family photo library was lost. I, and my brother, have always been written with photographs, broken by tat: in a new skin, the sign has become a reminder of the era, conveying the hour, the mood, the atmosphere. Vіn vvazhav, that children cannot be photographed earlier for six months, shards and seemingly no understanding, and character is not visible. And for the new one, those who were else were even more important. Chantly, these are photographs, but they are rich, like none, relatives and relatives, not bachiv, also artistic value. Well, the school of photography is practical. Pochatkіvtsі could learn a lot of things from these pictures.

That camera, given to the father by the legendary photographer Robert Kapa, ​​is undamaged. The stench got to know the signing of capitulation in Karlhorst, but they got close, practicing at the Nuremberg trials. Kapa brought him a new Speed ​​Graphic camera on purpose, saying: "Zhenya, why do you know everything about your "face" - your axis is wide." The father himself stands on the aphids of Goering near the courtroom with his own camera.

If in 1947 the fate of Robert Capa arrived with a report to the Radyansk Union, the KDB did not allow him to bring in unmanifested swimming from the edge. And then Kapa said what to entrust them to Yevgen Chaldei. І tato vyyavlyav yogo plіvki here at the laboratory of state security. If in Perpinyan 1995 the father's father was awarded a French order, there was a great exhibition. In addition, there are photographs of Chaldea, that other exposition - the colorful photographs of Robert Kapi from V'etnam. Todі to Evgena Ananjevich pіdіyshov son of Robert and rozpovіv, scho father forever remembering the friendship with the Russian photographer, even warmly talking about the new himself, and about his work.

Tі, z kim vin at once pratsyuvav at the rocky vіyni, were yogo's head friends. There was no bulo there, as far as I remember, no jealousy for other people's success, no caring moments. We were friends, we talked, we helped one another. With the family of Emmanuel Evzerikhin, we lived in the same yard, grew up with his children, and often sang: "Zhenya, you need to abuse the term!". We lived at the municipality, but the old man had his own photo laboratory. Max Alpert, Yakiv Ryumkin, Mark Redkin and a lot of other legendary photojournalists often visited us as guests. This was a marvelous brotherhood - from an hour, if I went to the pіshki under steel, and until the moment, if the stench came from life, the controversy was constant. At the core, obviously, was the TARS photo chronicle company, and so on and so forth, up to the whole friendly stake included all kinds of photojournalists. They climbed at the table, and let that drink not start the world over, it didn’t spit on the fun. Tato, softly kazhuchi, buv no longer caressed by the authorities, but I don’t remember that I’m guilty of zazdriv.

In the middle of the 80s, I worked at the APN’s former director Zoya Mikosha, a photo editor, and a cameraman, Vladislav Mikosha, an old friend of Yevgen Ananyevich. I Khaldei, coming to see us for a fee, regularly visiting us once a month. Arriving in a taxi, obov'yazkovo bringing from him a bowl of burners, and we cheerfully celebrated the podium. As a lie, that the fee, as a rule, becoming ten rubles, such visits obviously went to the maestro. Ale vіn bv a fun-loving person and contentment in the face of a penny is not a penny. Yoga was remembered. Let's say, having begun our history with words: “And now I will tell you one little story ...” Even though it was unacceptably surprising, then it was invariably mooning: “And why the hell do we need convalescence?”.

Tsikavo, who is rich with the heroes of his photographs of the wines, capturing the pictures. I couldn’t do without rejoicing: “I’m taking pictures - such a wonderful girl in the middle of Berlin, queen. Bach її through the sprat of the rocks - overlooked, at some tattered apron children call. Obviously, all over the country at that time there was such devastation, but such a contrast with this order, that in the army until the end of the war.

And two years before his departure from life, he gave me a tax Chun - and the docks were alive, constantly nourishing її, and even more so - he himself sent a veterinarian to our house.
