Biography
Agnia Lvovna Barto was born in Moscow on February 17, 1906. According to some information, at birth, the girl was called the hetel Labovna Volova. Agnia was born in the educated family of Jewish origin. Her father was Lev Nikolayevich Ovov, a veterinarian, and Maria Ilinichna Volova (in the Maiden Bloch), which after the birth of her daughter took up households.
The girl's father loved the Basinie Krylov and since his childhood his daughter regularly read them for the night. He taught a little daughter to read, on the book of Leo Tolstoy. Magnia's father loved the works of the classic of Russian literature very much, because on the very first birthday gave his daughter a book called "How Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy" lives and works.
Even in early childhood Agnia began writing poems. He subsequently recognized the poetess itself, in the first grades of the gymnasium, she gave tribute to love topics: I wrote not one sheet with naive poems about "in love with marquises and cups." However, to compose rhymes about languid beauties and their ardent lover girls are quickly tired, and gradually such poems in her notebooks were changed to bold epigram on girlfriends and teachers.
Like all children from intelligent families of those times, Barto trained German and French, went to a prestigious gymnasium. In addition, she entered the choreographic school, intending to become a ballerina. At the same time, the financial situation of the Jewish family, and even in the conditions of the October Revolution, left much to be desired. Therefore, at 15 years old Agniya faked documents, increasing his age per year, and went by the seller to the store "Clothing" (his staff gave her herring heads, from which it was possible to cook soup).
Creative career
One day, the choreographic school in which Agnia Barto was engaged in the People's Commissar of Anatoly Lunacharsky. He came to the graduation standings of the school pupils and, among other things, heard the young poetess under the accompaniment of music Chopin read a very impressive poem "Funeral March" of his own essay. Although the work was by no means humorous, Lunacharsky could hardly resist laughter and confidently stated that the girl would write beautiful, funny and joyful poems.
In 1924, Agnia Lvovna completed training in the choreographic school and successfully entered the ballet troupe. However, to build a successful career on stage, she still failed: the troupe emigrated, and Father Agnes did not agree to let her go from Moscow.
His first works of the poetess incurred to the Gosizdat in 1925. "Bear-thieves" and "Wan Lee" liked the publishing house, and the poems were published. Next followed the collection of poems "toys", "Briters", "Boy on the contrary", "bullfding", "Boltunya" and many others.
Works of young poets quickly quickly provided it with great popularity among the Soviet readers. She was not a fan of non-feasible, but created humorous and satirical images, ridiculed human flaws. Her poems were read not as boring notations, but as fun teasers, and thanks to this they were much closer to children than the works of many other children's poets of early 20th century.
At the same time, Agnia Lvovna has always remained a very modest and shy man. So, she was crazy about Mayakovsky, but at the first meeting with him did not even dare to open his mouth. However, afterwards the conversation about child poetry, Barto and Mayakovsky still took place, and Agnia had a lot from him for his future creativity. And when one of the poems of Agnes listened to the roots of Chukovsky, she stated that a five-year-old boy wrote him. No less exciting for the writer became a conversation with Maxim Gorky.
Both in the youth, and in more mature years, Agnia Lvovna was distinguished by a kind of linguistic perfectionism. Once she went to the Book Congress, which was held in Brazil. She had to make a report, and translated into English. Nevertheless, Barto repeatedly changed the text of the Russian-speaking version of his speech, than almost brought a translator crazy.
In the war years, Agnia Barto, together with his family, was evacuated to Sverdlovsk. She spoke a lot on the radio, printed military articles, essays and poems in newspapers. In the 1940s, she had the idea of the work of young adolescents, which continuously work on defense plants in numerous machines.

After the publication of Zvenigorod, she wrote a woman from Karaganda, who lost her daughter in the war years. She asked Agnia Lvovna to help find her. The poetess attributed a letter to the organization that was engaged in the search for people, and the miracle happened: the mother and daughter found each other several years later separation. This case was written in the press, and numerous letters from children and parents, thirsting to find each other, began to come to the Barto.
