	«Each of us has come to this world Unique and unique … » Sergey's NASEDKINA name is well known to the Tambov fans of the literature. For today it unique of the Tambov writers, whose books are published in Moscow. Two previous — "Siege" and "Kriminal-show" — left in publishing house "Voice", and here more recently two large capital publishing houses "nuclear heating plants" and "Astrel" have in common let out its new novel "Drunk". The combination of a sharp criminal plot and the topical social maintenance became N.Rosedkina's special hallmark . "Drunk" — not an exception. About the new book of the writer and in general about its creative destiny we also talked. — Sergey Nikolaevich, the writer can become far not everyone, but only at whom is what to tell to people. How to you the sensation of has come what you should write? Whether there was it dream? — In 17 years, leaving school in one of the Siberian districts, I dreamt to become the journalist but that the writer — was afraid even to think. At such age it is impossible, after all life experience is necessary. However I have written the first story in May of 1970, passing school final examinations, have composed literally for two hours, having been late because of it on appointment to the beloved. Then simply something has gushed over me, and the story "Birch" in which there were many feelings and emotions, naiveties was born. The most unexpected was that in five days have published it in the regional newspaper. And second my story has seemed to the editor successful and has there and then appeared in the newspaper. And the third... Fortunately, it became boring to me to write such "sensitive" naive stories. I have tried to compose in a comic key, and again like all have gone on hurrah: jumoresok my twenty it has been published. It is good, that I nevertheless rather quickly was understood-has understood — all it not mine. Year three-four in general wrote nothing: as was able — did not want, and in another way, really, it was impossible. And only in 1979 I have written the story "Supergoalkeeper" which has been published subsequently in «the Tambov truth», in magazine «Physical culture and sports», have entered into my book "Siege" — here from this story, I consider, and my creative biography of the prose writer has begun. — There are readers who consider your products by detectives — you agree with such definition of a genre? — In no event! I do not write detectives. The criminal plot for me — only reception for disclosing of a theme and characters of heroes, a background which helps me, having captured attention of the reader to tell to it that I want. In creativity I am the convinced realist and I display surrounding life such what it is. — Sergey Nikolaevich, as far as I know, in Tambov just about there should be your book about Dostoevsky. It, probably, old hobby. How it has affected your creativity? — I am ill"with Dostoevsky since seventeen years and not only I read-re-read, but also steadfastly I study — at me already is a little published in magazines and collective collections of jobs about its creativity. And here has written, at last, the whole book. It is called« Dostoevsky's Suicide », and it as a matter of fact — the new biography of the writer, its biography considered through a theme of a suicide in his life and creativity. If it is short: Dostoevsky all life aspired to suicide, was constantly released from this suicide complex, sublimiruja it in creativity, from here in its novels so it is a lot of suicides and a suicide theme — one of through. If to tell figuratively, Dostoevsky from suicide was rescued by writing. — Writers, you wish to tell, very diffident people? — People in general in the majority zakompleksovany, and writers — it is a million times more. Simply they have enough boldness to open. And in it specificity of their trade. When the writer (the present writer!) has a seat before a sheet of paper with intention to begin product, he knows, that now will bare soul and through any time any person can examine, study, estimate, touch his soul... But without it it is impossible, without nature it will turn out nothing. "Drunk" — in general the novel-confession. In him it is a lot of personal... — So, the protagonist of the novel Vadim Neustroyev — the hero obviously autobiographical. But on a course of a plot it has lost a hand, his wife terribly perishes from an axe of the criminal... All it is described is realistic, to all believe, but for what you had such to think out? — I repeat, I in general with pleasure would write without any criminal receptions if for hundred percent has been assured, that the majority of readers thirsts to find in my books one only deep thoughts. By the way, in publishing house "ݬ߼«" in which I offered before my novel, to me have answered: «very interestingly also it is fascinatingly written, but... It is not enough blood!»... — Really? — So. You see on trays their production — even on covers continuous corpses. — It is possible to tell, what the readers who have got used to bloody serials, as though provoke the author to murder of the heroes, and the publisher is compelled to follow their tastes? — Yes, last years and was, but I hope, that this marasmus already leaves — readers-buyers obelis a bloody seamy side. And rather, in my opinion, symptomatically, that such largest publishing house as the "nuclear heating plant", too letting out is a lot of shirpotrebovskih insurgents and thrillers in glossy covers, has published my novel "Drunk", has published exclusively, out of any untwisted series calculated only on the undemanding mass reader. By the way, in publishing house "Астрель" to me have made very favourable proposal: to conclude the contract on a writing of five novels with the through hero and promised to pay very big money — I, as they say, seconds not deliberating, have refused: not my it, I do not wish to write bloody serials. — Sergey Nikolaevich, in the novel "Drunk" action occurs not only in Moscow, but also in chernozyomnom the city of Baranove in which it is easy to guess Tambov. In the book — more than 600 pages and heroes so many that all not to count: among them known writers in our city, journalists, professors of university... And by that in the novel it is lifted much, he multiplane but if all the same to try to define a subject dominant — about what your novel? — When Lev Tolstoi have asked once about what the novel "Anna Karenina", he has told, that for the answer to this question it would be necessary to retell the book from the first to last word... And if it is serious: that the main thought of my novel, probably, is that — each of us has come to this world unique and unique, and nobody has the rights you to humiliate, trample, destroy. And more: if the person himself does not want to give in, anything on light cannot break it. Now, in my opinion, in the literature there is no sanguineous live convincing hero. I in image of the Vadim Neustroyev also have tried to create such hero who with all weaknesses and lacks nevertheless is able to stand for itself, not to break a difficult minute, not to give in to geeks whom I consider myself as owners of a life... — The ending at "Drunk" very unexpected and in any measure the opened. If not a secret: you are not going to to write continuation? — While at me other plans, now I write the up-to-date novel where all will be connected with computers, the Internet... And to stamp novels with continuation — I style. But it is not excluded, that years through 15 when enough the vital material again will be typed, I will write one more ispovedalnyj the novel, as though throughout "Drunk", but, of course, under other name. — Well, thanks for conversation. Good luck to you and creative successes! Is to you, to journalists, thanks for support, and also to all readers who have already read my novel or intend it to make. Galina KAZANOK talked.
