Notes written by Izzy Hod: The poem, The city on the Kama River, is about a chapter in the life of the Russian writer, Maxim Gorky, who was born as Alexei Maksimovich Pashkov. Gorky wrote the stories of his life in the trilogy, My Childhood/Among Humanities/My universities. At the same time, three motion pictures appeared, about Gorky's life and the first one called, Gorky's Childhood and in the movie, a group of children are walking through the fields, looking for a city, near the Kama river, where one of the children, a boy named Alexei [Gorky], was born and lived for many years and his ambition is to see the city again, but he does not remember its name, except that it was located near the Kama river, one of the major tributaries of the Volga river, and since the children cannot find the city, they begin to tease the boy Alexei and recite to him again and again the recitation, written by Gorky, in the first book of the trilogy, The city on the Kama river, we won't know where it is, we won't find it anywhere, we won't reach it by walking, we won't reach it by rowing, this is the city on the Kama. To these words, the composer Lev Alexandrovich Schwartz wrote music and the song, The city on the Kama River was born, the words of which are attributed to Gorky and, probably, also to one of Gorky's friends and perhaps more. The song appears in the film Gorky's Childhood and sung by the children, in the original major scale. The film was produced in 1938, and it is about 13th years old Gorky [in 1913]. In the film, Alexei Pashkov [Gorky], after the death of his father, arrives with his mother and brother, at the harsh grandfather's house and his grandmother, who has a simple and honest character, encourages him, in the struggles he gets into, with the members of the house and the grandfather's team of employees. The life in the film is a life of harsh poverty, before the revolutions of 1917. Blind and sick, languishing at work, with no hope. Alexei [Gorky] and his friends, feeding on garbage cans, hopeless, and wandering in search of a utopian land. The city the children are looking for is Nizhny Novgorod [Nizhnikamsk?] where Gorky was indeed born and lived, located in the Republic of Tatarstan in Russia, which was founded on the banks of the Volga and its tributaries, Kama, in 1221 and was even called Gorky at one time [1990-1932], after the name of the author who lived there. Another city that claims the honor concerning the film and the song, is the city, Sarapol, a city and a river port in the Tatarstan Republic, Russia, located on the right bank of the Kama River. Further in the film, at the grandfather's house, quarrels develop over the future inheritance [paint and dyeing factory], between the grandfather's brothers, sons and grandsons. Alexey, is even beaten for this and the one who protects him, is a young gypsy who works for the grandfather, who suddenly died in hard labor, carrying a huge cross to the top of the mountain, which the grandfather's sons loaded on him, in an intention to get rid of him so he would not compete with them on the inheritance. Then, the paint and dye factory burns down and everyone moves to another city. There Alexei learns to read and write by his grandfather and an anti-tsarist chemist, who was finally forced to escape from the tsarist police, and he begins to write down and record his grandmother's stories. At this point, Alexei finds himself protecting his grandfather's blind brother from a gang who abused him in the street, and then he started collecting alms and even joining a group of poor and starving children, including a paralyzed child and since his grandfather once again lost all his possessions and his house and his mother, who got engaged a second time, was also left home and leaves him when she moved with her fiancé to his city, Alexei [Gorky], who stayed with his grandparents, begins his livelihood with his friends, searching for metal tools and discarded clothes, which he sells and even supports his grandmother. Alexei no longer finds any sense in his grandfather's house, he is also forced to collect alms and he goes out accompanied by his friends, to look for the city on the Kama, where he once was born and lived, to start his own life. He says goodbye to them, walks away, as they wave goodbye to each other, as the song "The city on the kama" is heard in the background. The song is played and sung several times throughout the film as well.
A couple of days ago I heard another (hundred thousandth) time I heard a famous song about a barge, whose team sleeps (דוגית נוסעת) and for some reason I wanted to see who the authors of this song. What was my surprise when it turned out that the song in the original-Russian! This song did not remind me of anything, searching on the Internet using the name of the author - Tatiana Sikorskaya-also gave nothing (except a song about a fleet of fourteen seas and several others, which clearly did not fit). But my mother immediately said that she remembers this song - it's a song about the city on Kama. Well, the rest was already simple. This song was first performed in the film "In People" (the one who posted it on youtube, made a mistake). The music was written by Leo Schwartz, and the words are bitter or Sikorskaya, or they are together.
In Men (1938), A screen adaptation of the eponymous autobiographical novel by M. Gorky, the second part of the famous autobiographical trilogy of the writer...Alyosha Peshkov leaves her grandfather's house and goes to work, "in people." Serves as a "boy" at his uncle-drawing, a dishwasher on a Volga steamer, a student in an icon-painting workshop. Good, alien to cruelty, he can not stand the reigning circle of injustice, bravely fights for the truth and...again it is without a corner and a piece of bread.
The city on the Kama river. The film tells the story of the childhood of Russian and Soviet writer Maxim Gorky. After the death of his father, her mother and grandmother brought Alyosha to the house of his grandfather, the owner of a small dye workshop in Nizhny Novgorod. The uncles intend to live separately, demand from Vasily Vasilyevich their share of family property and coldly meet the sister who came with the child. The boy quickly masters in a new house and closely converges with Gypsy, a young worker, whose skill is admired by grandfather Alyosha. Yakov and Michael, Uncle Alyosha, did not like gypsy for his independent character. Once Yakov, Mikhail and Gypsy were carrying a big heavy cross, and it so happened that in a dangerous moment Mikhail and Yakov rebounded, and Gypsy did not have time and died, crushed by a cross. The uncles rejoiced in the death of the Gypsy, as his grandfather always threatened to give all the property to the Gypsy. After a while the grandfather left his sons workshop, and he moved with his wife and grandson to a new house. Alexey had friends - a vataga of neighboring guys and a paralyzed boy Lyenka, for whom his comrades made a cart to occasionally take out of the house. My grandfather's business was getting worse. The section of the workshop, the collapse of the bank and old age changed the life of the former successful artisan, shop chief Vasily Kashirin. The old master tried unsuccessfully to live on the money earned from the sale of the good gained over the years. Unprecedented need made him forget his former pride, and he became a beggar, interrupted by random alms. Alex went out of his way to help his grandmother, giving his hard-earned pennies. Some time later, the thirst for change forced the teenager to say goodbye to the places that became native places and go "to the people."

Maxim Gorky, (1868-1936), Alexey Maksimovich Peshkov (Maksim Gorky is a pseudonym) was born on March 16, 1868 in Nizhny Novgorod in the family of the carpenter Maksim Savvatievich Peshkov and his wife Varvara Vasilievna, nee Kashirina. The childhood and adolescence of the future famous writer was the hardest: he was orphaned early, at the age of 11 he went "to the people", that is, he worked for pennies in a store, on a steamer, in a bakery, enduring beatings and bullying of the owners, wandered around the country - from the Caucasus to Bessarabia , eagerly absorbing the impressions of what he saw. In many ways, Gorky "carried" through life - having an impressionable, affectionate character both to circumstances and to people, he quickly and for a long time was carried away by ideas, books, etc. Gorky's biggest hobby was politics - having read a Marxist brochure for the first time at the age of 18, he was never able to overcome this youthful love for the "working truth", The first story, Makar Chudra, was published by Gorky on September 12, 1892 in the Tiflis newspaper Kavkaz. Literary fame came to the novice writer "from the bottom" quickly - six years later in St. Petersburg saw the light of his "Essays and Stories", published in a very solid for those years circulation of 3,000 copies (a year later they were republished in three volumes). And in February 1902, the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences elected Gorky as its honorary member in the category of fine literature! .. It was a phenomenal success. True, by order of Nicholas II, the decision of the academy was canceled, but this only played into the hands of the writer's reputation. Russia was seized by the real fashion for Gorky, many perceived him as the most honest, decent and progressive Russian writer, a real "man of the people", who combined the truth of life and the truth of literature in his creations. Gorky's novels (Foma Gordeev, 1899), and his plays (The Bourgeois, 1901; At the Bottom, 1902; Summer Residents, 1904), and lyric poems in prose, among which the Song of Falcon "and" Song of the Petrel ". At the same time, Gorky did not break with political activity either. A new period of his passion for politics began in 1905, when he joined the Russian Social Democratic Party and wrote (according to N. N. Berberova's apt remark, "to please Lenin") an openly propaganda novel "Mother", published in the USA ... However, the Bolsheviks, and Lenin among them, at this stage treated Gorky rather coolly - willingly using his name and financial capabilities, they still considered the writer too "idealist" at heart. Gorky's health, undermined in his youth in 1906, forced him to go abroad for a long time. Although this departure cannot be considered a full-fledged emigration, it is also difficult to call Gorky's foreign life a temporary trip to improve his health. After trips to France and the USA, he settled on the Italian island of Capri, rented a villa where guests from Russia constantly crowded in time. Of his works of this period, the most significant were the cycle of stories "Across Russia" and the beginning of the autobiographical trilogy - "Childhood" and "In People". M. Gorky in Italy. 1929 g. The year 1917 was perceived by Gorky ambiguously: on the one hand, he was sincerely happy with the collapse of the old world, on the other, he perceived the Bolsheviks' policy with caution, believing that revolutionary ideas should and can be implemented in humane ways. Educational activity of the writer in Petrograd 1918-1919. deserves the highest marks: Gorky became a real "father" for the newborn Soviet culture, saved dozens of people of art from starvation, fought for the innocent arrested, worked tirelessly in the publishing business ... At this time, he sincerely believed that Russia was on the threshold new, bright and fair life. When the faith disappeared, Gorky did not seek compromises with the reality that did not suit him, and in 1921 he left his homeland for the second time, formally - for treatment in Germany. Until 1924, Gorky lived in Germany and Czechoslovakia, making it clear with his statements and articles that he did not accept Soviet power. Then the Italian city of Sorrento became his refuge. There the writer worked on the novel "The Life of Klim Samgin" - a huge panorama of Russian life in the late 19th - early 20th centuries, wrote the novel "The Artamonovs Case". Away from Soviet Russia, Gorky's position began to change little by little, and by the end of the 1920s, not a trace remained of his former intransigence towards the Bolsheviks. In 1928, the writer arrived in the USSR, where a triumphant meeting was arranged for him. Impressions from the trip around the country were reflected in the book of essays "Through the Land of the Soviets". In May 1933, Gorky finally returned from emigration to Moscow. He was given such honors that many leaders of the USSR did not dream of - he was given the former Ryabushinsky house on Spiridonovka, the main street of the Soviet capital, Tverskaya, was renamed into Gorky Street, the same name was given to the writer's hometown of Nizhny Novgorod and the Moscow Art Theater, a gigantic 8-engine plane “Maxim Gorky” soared into the sky ... Gorky was officially appointed the number one Soviet writer, a kind of patriarch of Russian literature. In 1934 he became the head of the Union of Soviet Writers. Gorky founded many literary series that exist to this day - for example, "The Library of the Poet" and "The Life of Remarkable People". He still worked hard, but more and more he looked like a living monument to himself. June 18, 1936 Maxim Gorky died at the age of 69 in Gorki. The writer's ashes were buried in Moscow, near the Kremlin wall. After the death of Gorky, the cult of his personality in the USSR assumed dimensions comparable only to the cult of Stalin's personality - institutes, parks of culture and rest, streets, squares, palaces of culture, reservoirs, theaters were named after Gorky (and many are still called to this day). ... After the collapse of the USSR, the opposite tendency began: they tried to debunk Gorky at all costs, to deprive the former aura of "holiness". But both admirers and opponents of the writer cannot but admit that Maxim Gorky is one of the greatest phenomena of Russian culture of the twentieth century.
Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, Church of St. Elijah below the kremlin walls in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia. © sergey_cauchy/iStock.com, Although some authorities give an earlier date, the city was founded, according to a major chronicle, in 1221 by Yury Vsevolodovich, prince of Vladimir, as Russian colonization was advancing to the Volga into lands formerly occupied by the Mordvinians. Nizhny Novgorod’s strategic site on the great Volga route from the Baltic to Central Asia—with links via the navigable Oka River to the Vladimir-Moscow region and via the Kama River to the Ural Mountains and Siberia—ensured its importance. In 1392 the town was incorporated into the principality of Moscow and soon became a Russian stronghold against the Volga Tatars. From there, Ivan III the Great in 1469 and Ivan IV the Terrible in 1552 launched their expeditions against the Tatar capital of Kazan. The Russian conquest of the Volga in the mid-16th century brought about increased trade for Nizhny Novgorod. The annual fair that was established in that city in 1817 became the largest and most important in Russia, attracting traders and goods from across Europe and Asia. The fair continued until the Russian Revolution of 1917. The well-known writer Maxim Gorky was born in Nizhny Novgorod in 1868, and in 1932 the town was renamed in his honour by the Soviet regime, although its original name was restored in 1990.
