The female writer Nadezhda Lokhvitskaya
Literary writers called the woman with the strange nickname Taffi, "Chekhov in skirt" and "one of the pillars of Russian satire" from the beginning of the last century. Nowadays, the interest in the writer is growing, because many of her works prove to be more up-to-date. Many of her thoughts can be published today in social networks and will sound as if they were written today. The real name of this merciless charmer is Nadezhda Alexandrovna Lokhvitskaya . In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Lokhvitskaya family was very popular in Russia. Everyone knows the sisters Nadezhda and Maria / and Mira / Lokhvitskaya . Maria Lokhvitskaya is a popular poetess, and her sister Taffi is a master of humor and satire. Maria became popular before her sister. She publishes her poems at the age of 16, and at the beginning of the 20th century, her lyrics are full of songs. Hope is first realized as a family woman. He marries a Pole with whom he lives in Mogilev. She gave birth to two daughters and a son, then divorced her husband and went to St. Petersburg. She decides it's time to take up her career as a writer. To distinguish her from her very popular sister Maria, she decides to invent her alias. The first "appropriate" name that came to her was Stafy, the name of a dumb family familiar. He then decided to cut him off on ... Taffi. When she becomes popular, she will often have to explain that her nickname is not borrowed from Kipling's character - Taffi - the girl who writes the first letter in the world, but she's "a pure fiction". The nickname is more akin to an actress. And Tape was really such a coquettish, but with a man's mind and a sense of humor and irony. "True Chekhov in the sex," says one critic once.
Taffi begins writing first in the popular Russian magazine Satirikon, in which prominent feuilitarists published. Mayakovsky himself became popular with it. The magazine also features many talented cartoonist artists such as Bilibin, Baxter, Kustodiev - popular names at that time. Taffi began publishing the feuilletons, but from time to time - and poignant poems. She becomes a celebrity with her merciless writing style. So much so that her name is called candy and perfume. Even Nikolay II's became a fan. While Nadezhda Lokhvitskaya's star shines brighter, her sister's sister begins to set. Maria gets sick and dies after a severe illness of diphtheria that exacerbates her old problems with the thyroid gland and heart. Her sister's death is a big blow to Taffi. How does her life develop afterwards? - During the revolution, she worked for a while in the Russo Slovo newspaper. Then she leaves with the publisher of "Satirikon" for Kiev. She returns home but does not relinquish her and takes on trips again, while at one point she travels to Paris. After the revolution, many Russians emigrated to France, but not everyone is doing it there. USSR continue to print her books with Lenin's personal permission. Without a fee, but that does not excite her - and across borders, she continues to be popular in her homeland.
Collections of her stories come to Paris and Berlin. The Russian immigrant press constantly publishes her poems. Taffi moves in elite European circles, dresses in fashion as a true Parisian, and is so entertaining that she is a wanted interlocutor of any company. Her sharp mind and her self-irony instantly turned her into a favorite. Taffi does not accept that Russian emigrants should cooperate with the Germans only because Hitler is fighting the USSR. It retains neutrality - it does not communicate with the Nazis, but it does not involve the French Resistance. The war is ruining her - she is not publishing her works. She is no longer well with her health. After the end of the Second World War, her career slowly began to rise. Her books go not only in France but also in the United States. Taffi, however, is already seriously suffering from a sick heart and neuralgia. Often morphine can not fall asleep without injection. In 1952, he last met with friends. Farewell, as if anticipating Your End. She dies, and a year after her leaves the world and her faithful friend, Ivan Bunin.
