Nikolai Ivanovich Glazkov (January 30, 1919, Lyskovo, Nizhny Novgorod Province — October 1, 1979[1], Moscow) was a Soviet poet and translator.

He was born in the family of lawyer Ivan Nikolaevich Glazkov (born in 1894) and German teacher Larisa Alexandrovna Glazkova. In 1923 their family moved to Moscow. The father, a lawyer of the Moscow City College of Defenders, was arrested on March 18, 1938 and shot on June 4 of the same year. Some literary critics consider this to be the reason for Glazkov's subsequent expulsion from the university.

He has been writing poetry since 1932. Since 1938 he studied at the Philological Faculty of the Moscow State Pedagogical Institute. He was not conscripted into the army for health reasons.

In 1939, together with Julian Dolgin, he founded the neo-futurist literary movement "nevyvalism" and published two typewritten almanacs, for which he was expelled from the institute in 1940.

In the same 1940, Nikolai Glazkov, on the recommendation of Nikolai Aseev, was admitted to the Literary Institute, where he studied intermittently until 1946, according to other sources - until the summer of 1941. His fellow students were Narovchatov, Kulchitsky, Kaufman, Slutsky, Kogan.

The war began. Nikolai Glazkov was not taken to the front for health reasons. He himself wrote about it like that:

There was snow and rain, and snow with rain,

And the wind was howling in the chimney.

Released from the army

I'm under the article "3-b".

Article "3-b" — meant a mental disorder or "cyclophrenia".

In 1942 Glazkov graduated from the Gorky Pedagogical Institute.

From 1942 to 1944 (one and a half years) he worked as a teacher in an incomplete secondary school in the village of Nikolskoye, Chernukhinsky district, Gorky region (according to other sources, he worked as a rural teacher in the Arzamas region), in 1944 he returned to Moscow and during 1944 — 1947 he changed many specialties: he worked as a porter, loader, sawyer of firewood, litsotrudnik of the Moscow University library, librarian.

In 1947 Glazkov traveled to Central Asia, translated poems of Kyrgyz poets into Russian.

Since the second half of the 1950s, he lived by literary work. His poems were published by the magazines "Moscow", "October", "Ogonyok", etc. Published translations of poems by Ivan Vazov, Nazim Hikmet, etc.

In 1957, the first book of poems by Nikolai Glazkov "My Stage" was published in Kalinin, three years later the second book "Green Space" was published in the Moscow publishing house "Soviet Writer".

In 1961, N. I. Glazkov was accepted as a member of the Union of Writers of the USSR.

Nikolai Glazkov was friends with Nikolai Starshinov, David Samoilov, Boris Slutsky, Alexander Mezhirov. Starred in a movie.

In 1955, he first appeared on the cinema screen in two cameo roles: in Grigory Roshal's film "The Free Woman" and the fairy tale film "Ilya Muromets".

In 1966, he starred in the episodic role of the "flying man" Efim in the film Andrei Tarkovsky "Andrei Rublev".

In 1974, Andrei Konchalovsky's film "Romance of Lovers" was released, in which the "Song about Birds", written in the words of Glazkov, sounds. In addition, he performed the episodic role of the "old mattress man" in the same film.

Contemporaries also remembered his great physical strength (Inna Lisnyanskaya: "Nikolai Glazkov demonstrates physical strength between reading and — in honor of one of the ladies present, he lifts a chair by the leg with one hand. And in my honor, the chair was raised high.")
