An open letter to
Dear Maria Alexandrovna!
I learned that the Russian State Children’s Library conducts a contest for the logo of the award named after my father, the writer Eduard Uspensky. With great regret and sadness, I Express my disagreement with the assignment of the award in his name.
I think that the person whose name is called the state prize, must be first of all good and moral… My father was very ill, committed to a lifetime of domestic violence, it was his system of relations in the family…
It was physical, psychological, emotional abuse, constantly repeated to me as his daughter, my mother, his wife, his grandchildren, the children of another wife (well-known TV presenter Eleonora Filina), etc…
Unfortunately, the crudeness and rudeness, control and enforcement gradually became the norm of his life… Also become the norm ostentatious idyll, when the arrival of television crews were invited grandchildren and was supposed to portray a happy family of the great writer.
Knowing about their problems, including with alcohol, my father has not asked the official to psychologists, and was a supporter of the sect, V. D. Stolbun have been taking “treatment” and support the sect financially, advertised it on TV, in the Newspapers, that too may not be a big merit. My father knew about the beatings of children, practiced by the sect, but it never stopped. He admired Tolboom, his methods, lead to their friends and acquaintances.
As undoubtedly talented man, is able to captivate people’s creative ideas (“the Harbour”, the creation of cartoons together with creative collectives of studios), it failed to overcome their human frailties, friendly and easy to chat with people.
I would like to have my opinion heard…
I think that the name of the man who practiced many years of violence in the family, including against children, should not be rated award in a humanistic field like children’s literature…
sincerely, Uspenskaya Tatiana Eduardovna.
