Nikolai Nikolaevich Dobronravov is widely known as a popular songwriter. But not everyone knows him as an actor or author of theatrical plays. And the fact that for his long creative biography he has come out with many poetry collections is also not known to everyone. Apparently, his literary gift, indeed, truly revealed in the song genre.
Nikolai Nikolaevich Dobronravov was born in 1928 in Leningrad. From an early age, his grandmother instilled a love of art to him, and a school teacher to literature. Very young Kolya showed great interest in this. It is said that he once memorized "Woe from Wit" by Griboedov. Grandmother was so scared by this event that she took her grandson to a psychiatrist, who, however, did not find any mental deviations from him.
The beginning of the creative path
After graduating from school with a gold medal, Dobronravov immediately could not decide on the future profession. To a great extent, he also wanted to engage in literary work and teach literature at school. Perhaps that is why he immediately could not make a choice and entered the Moscow Art Theater School. True, after graduating, he continued his studies at the Faculty of Philology of the Pedagogical Institute.
Not too long artistic biography of the future famous poet and songwriter is entirely connected with the Moscow Theater of Young Spectators, where he proved to be a very gifted actor
At the same time, he starred in two feature films: "Sports Honor" and "The Return of Vasily Bortnikov." In collaboration with his friend and theater colleague Sergei Grebennikov, he writes theater plays, the opera Ivan Shadrin and children's stories.
