The Kuban Cossack

Victor Zakharchenko was born in the village of Dyadkovskaya, located eighty kilometers from Krasnodar. His father worked as a shoemaker, his mother was a collective farmer. Born in a simple family, Zakharchenko was a surprisingly gifted guy. Years later he became a composer, publicist, folklorist and permanent leader of the Kuban Cossack Choir. A close friend of the composer, Cossack and general director of the agro-industrial complex "Kuban-Lux" Nikolay Liuty, said that all the residents of the village are proud and believe that there is no man more legendary than Viktor Gavrilovich Zakharchenko. His biography has many awards and titles, but the most kind and touching stories are from childhood. When he was still a boy, the village was occupied by Germans, from whom he heard the sound of a national accordion. Once he found the instrument on the bench and immediately started playing it. It gave birth to dreams about his own so attractive and ringing instrument. After a while his dream came true and his mother gave him an accordion, bought in Korenovsk. Fortunately, the future star had no limits, he even went to bed together with an expensive instrument.

Boy with a dream

In his childhood Victor Zakharchenko was an ordinary boy with a great desire to learn and create. Once, as a fifth-grade student, he even decided to write a letter to Stalin. He wrote that the children of the village and he personally have a great desire to develop in the music field, and there is not even a bayan in the school. "Nobody is dealing with us at all," Viktor Zakharchenko wrote. His biography, thanks to this letter, was supplemented with an unexpected story for all about how a commission with a check came into the village. The check came home to the boy, which greatly frightened Mom, and then went to school and chided the director for not paying enough attention to the creative development of the students. As it turned out, the composer really wanted and hoped that he would be taken with him and taught everything, but in fact the inspectors said that he needed to grow up a little and only then come to study music.

The Light of God

Victor Gavrilovich in the nineties came to the fact that he did not understand deeply enough the essence of the Cossack song. As it turned out, the Cossacks were deeply religious people, and put their religious foundation in their works. Realizing that he did not have enough knowledge about Orthodoxy, the composer went to church, confessed and decided to participate in the choir songs in the choir. He immersed himself in the study of spiritual literature and only then could he understand the whole essence of Orthodoxy. Thanks to the hundredfold increased love for God, the songs of Viktor Zakharchenko even sounded different - it was penetrating and solemn.

The word in the Kuban song

To the question: "What is created first - music or words?" - Victor Gavrilovich with confidence responds that words. He certainly respects music and treats her with all the trepidation and love, but even in the Gospel it is written that in the beginning there was a word.

He first takes the verses, no, he does not read them, but he invariably sings, and if the melody touches him, a new song is born. Songs given to people by the Kuban Cossack Choir tell of love to the girl, to the mother, to the sweet heart of the house and to her immense Motherland. According to Victor Gavrilovich, the song is the simplest genre in music, it is easy to perceive even for children. But out of his soul burst out indignation over the repertoire of contemporary singers. There is nothing bright and kind in them, and that's why the Kuban Cossack choir takes on such exalted feelings to listeners.

Dreams of a happy man

Zakharchenko often reads the Gospel, in which the apostle Paul speaks a lot about the poor. In Russia, penniless meets almost every second, and this worries the composer very much. But, he said, financial poverty is not the worst. There is nothing more terrible than spiritual poverty. The people do not believe in their country, they do not sing patriotic songs. Victor Gavrilovich considers himself to be a happy person, as he is involved in God's intention and popular culture. And most importantly, he dreams of sharing this with others. And his dream came true - he brings to the listeners through the songs of the Kuban Cossack Choir the spiritual culture of the forefathers. Concert tours - this, of course, is good, but Viktor Gavrilovich had a great desire to celebrate the anniversary of the Kuban Cossack Choir on the stage of the Kremlin.
