Mother worked as a teacher in a local school, father as an employee in a bank, they raised their son in the spirit of aristocracy, instilling a love of art and creativity. The Tarkovsky family had another son, Valery, who laid his head on the battlefields of the Civil War in 1919.
There was a warm relationship between the father and the only remaining son. Together they went to creative evenings, where famous poets of the Silver Age performed. Impressed and inspired, the young Tarkovsky left for Moscow to enter the Literary courses as soon as he graduated from school in his native city.
When the war began, Arseny, at his request, was sent to the front, where he was directly involved in the hostilities. During one of the battles, he was injured in the leg, which was subsequently amputated. After the war, the poet continued to engage in creative activities, which became the meaning of his life in his youth. Arseny died in old age on May 27, 1989, after being awarded the USSR State Prize posthumously.
Career
Already in his full thirteen years, in the 1920s, Tarkovsky wrote his first articles in the local newspapers Gudok and Searchlight. But in those difficult times it was not easy to feed on publications alone, so in the 33rd year Tarkovsky decided to start translating books from languages such as Georgian, Kyrgyz and Turkmen. Soon, the work brought its first fruits in the form of the adoption of Arseniy Aleksandrovich into the Union of the Presidium of Soviet Writers.
After the poet went to war, he was immediately appointed a front-line writer in the Battle Alarm newspaper. His poems and fables dispersed among the Soviet soldiers, who really liked the work of Arseny. Some even kept quatrains cut from newspapers in their breast pockets. The war ended and Tarkovsky began to publish collections of his poems, containing not only his work, but also translated works of some poets from the Georgian Republic. In total, about 12 copies and one three-volume works were published.
