Yuri Vasilievich Buida: facts from a biography
The future writer and journalist was born in the village of Znamensk, in the Kaliningrad region. His date of birth is August 29, 1954. After graduating from the University of Kaliningrad, Buida worked in the media. He went from an ordinary photojournalist of a regional newspaper to a deputy chief editor of a regional publication. The experience gained in journalism became a good basis for future prosaic works of Buida.
In 1991, Yuri Vasilyevich moved to Moscow. He worked in Rossiyskaya Gazeta, Nezavisimaya Gazeta, and in the popular magazines Znamya and Novoye Vremya. He was an observer for Izvestia. After that, he became editor of the Kommersant publishing house.
Since 1991, prose writings of the writer began to be published in the magazines New World, Banner, Friendship of Peoples, and October.
Yuri Buida and his work
In his books, Buida creates living reality and immerses the reader in it - sometimes even against his will. A collection of short stories by the writer "Prussian Bride" published by the New Literary Review publishing house is regarded by critics as the author’s appeal to large Russian literature.
The works of Yuri Vasilievich return to the interested reader the atmosphere of that reading, which recalls the times when there were no computers, these symbols of progress. Of course, soulless technology allows you to capture information. But it also clogs the mind with noise and crash, obscuring the true content of the era.
Buida’s books are a good prose about the most ordinary people. Possessing worldly experience, the author makes the reader understand that the “surface” of human nature can be deceiving. Behind the outer covers of the personality are hidden secrets, love and passion, madness and the pursuit of happiness, criminal thoughts and a bright dream. The author does not invent the characters of his heroes, he highlights the essence of their life. In an interview, Buida said that "life is prose about ordinary people."
