Biography
The future famous Soviet and Russian poet appeared on the light of March 13, 1913. His mother was a nurse and teacher Olga Mikhailovna, and Father is a leaving from the intelligentsia of noble origin Vladimir Alexandrovich. The boy became senior in the family and together with the younger brothers (Alexander and Mikhail) held a happy childhood in the suburbs.Childhood and youth
The rural school was far enough from the "generic nest" of Mikhalkov, because of which the boys hired a personal caregiver - Emma Rosenberg, a governess of German origin. Emma is vigilantly and strictly engaged in the development of his wards, and they were afraid to disobey their mentor. Sergey from all items most liked German. The eldest son of Mikhalkov, in childhood, perfectly spoke in this language and freely read the authentic texts of Schiller and Goethe.
After some time, the family moved to Moscow, and then the boys finally went to school. Sergey was able to immediately translate into the fourth grade. Odnoklassniki initially mocked the newcomer, who stuttered quite strongly. But the fun and friendly temple of the future poet allowed him to conquer the hearts of his offenders and become their best friend.
Soon the Mikhalkov family again moved, and Sergey, like every brother, turned out to be forced to build relations with new classmates. This time - in the Stavropol Territory. It is noteworthy that it was there that the first poematic work of the poet was published, whose talent began to manifest itself in early childhood.
Personal life
Eruded and charismatic Sergey Mikhalkov from a young time was popular with representatives of the opposite sex. His first wife became Natalia Konchalovskaya (her father was the famous artist Peter Konchalovsky). This marriage could be called strange: the spouse was 10 years older than his new her husband, and she was not very striving for a crown. Nevertheless, having surrendered under the head of the young poet, the woman allowed to wear a cherished ring on his ring finger.Surprisingly, this strange union was incredibly strong. Sergey and Natalia lived together for 53 years and parted only in 1988, when they were separated by the death of Konchalovskaya.
Two sons who were born in this strong marriage chose a creative way and soon became no less famous people than their parents. Andrei Konchalovsky is known as director, folk artist and screenwriter. Nikita Mikhalkov is also like a people's artist, director, screenwriter and actor.

The second and last wife of the poet became Julia Subbotina, the daughter of the famous academician Valery Subbotin. The difference in 48 years did not interfere with the spouses to live the soul into the soul, the heart in the heart to the death of Sergei Vladimirovich.
Creation
This historical event for the biography of Sergey Mikhalkov occurred in the 1928th year: a magazine called "on the rise" published his poem "Road", despite the author's age age. Interestingly, the poet's famous in those days Alexander Smemetsky already in the first children's creations of Sergey saw his huge creative potential.
After graduating from school, Sergey Mikhalkov decided to leave the Stavropol Territory and return to the capital. At first, he had to be very hard: attempts to make money on the literary talent ended almost unsuccessful, accounted for any work.
