Children's poets of our Chelyabinsk. Nikolai Petrovich Shilov (unabbreviated)
“Boys are friends with boys. Girls - with girls. Less often – boys and girls. Even less often are boys and girls with poems... You may ask: “Why do you love them?... What can poetry do?”... It turns out that there are many, many things. Let's count on our fingers.
They talk about things that you yourself have never experienced - be the first to fold. Enrich your memory with the best words - second. They teach you to think, guess, reflect - the third. Develop taste and sense of humor - fourth. And, most importantly, they improve our mood...that’s how much good poetry does for us.
So, after that, figure out whether or not you should be friends with them. In any case, I wish this for you with all my heart.” (N.P. Shilov)
In the last issue, dear readers, we talked about Nina Vasilievna Pikuleva, and now I invite you to think about the work of Nikolai Petrovich Shilov (1947–2010).
It’s a shame to live in Chelyabinsk and not know that Poets live next to us... I quote Andrei Shchupov, because I myself am with the poems of N.P. Shilova met less than a year ago:
“The poems... of Chelyabinsk resident Nikolai Shilov... should be in the home of every literature lover and connoisseur. Because this is a true Russian classic! The same classics that no one reads or knows. I can’t resist citing my favorite of Shilov’s poems. The author himself called this a recipe for those who want to become famous:
"How to become famous"
Nikolai Petrovich Shilov
If you cry for ten days,
A stream is formed
If it's very long -
Kama or Volga.
A bridge will be built on the river,
There will be a post on the bridge
And they will nail the plank:
"To the Crying River"
"Shilov Nikolay Petrovich- quite a major poet. His height is one meter eighty-five centimeters, and his weight is ninety kilograms, like ten huge watermelons. But he writes poems for little ones...” This is how Nikolai Petrovich introduced himself to children in the magazine “Tropinka” (1997.- No. 7.-P.29). Indeed, he is a tall man, also handsome, smiling. But children and adults should to know that he is not only a poet, but also an associate professor at the Academy of Culture and Art, an Honored Worker of Culture of Russia” (poet’s personal website, author not specified).
N.P. Shilov is a professor at the department of directing theatrical performances and celebrations at the Chelyabinsk State Academy of Culture and Arts, a member of the Writers' Union of Russia since 1999, a children's poet, and Honored Worker of Culture of the Russian Federation (1995). In collaboration with L. Ya. Rakhlis, he developed original methods and creativity lessons to help kindergarten teachers and primary school teachers: “Seven-flowered flower - a trip around the world”, play fairy tale “Hello, Grandma’s Chest”, word creation lessons “Winnie the Pooh School” ", birthday celebration "Who did the stork bring in its beak?" and etc.
“Your poems are clear, easy to read and very kind in essence (L.Ya. Rakhlis, poet):
A thousand years will pass
However
Everything will be
As it was in the old days:
Over the bridge
The dog is running
Under the bridge
A gudgeon is swimming.
A magpie is chattering in the distance,
Sleeping
Somlevshee village,
And, the charter
From the sunshine
Herd
It wandered into the river.
Toddlers near the river
They build towers of sand,
And above them, like sheep,
Clouds roam quietly.
“Now it’s hard to imagine children's literature of our region without his poetry, his library of smart, kind and funny books,” says N.A. Kapitonova (chief librarian of the Chelyabinsk Regional Children's Library).
I completely agree with every word, and you? Read Shilov’s books and poems with your children: “Doctor Fly-Nose-Throat", "Samsusam", "Terrible Beast"! And then ask, as Nikolai Petrovich himself asked: “Why love them? What can poetry do?”

Nikolai Petrovich Shilov
“Shilov Nikolai Petrovich is a rather large poet. His height is one meter eighty-five centimeters, and his weight is ninety kilograms, like ten huge watermelons. But he writes poetry for little ones...”
This is how Nikolai Petrovich introduced himself to children in the magazine “Tropinka” (1997.- No. 7.-P.29). Indeed, he is a tall man, also handsome and smiling. But children and adults should know that he is not only a poet, but also an associate professor at the Academy of Culture and Art, an Honored Worker of Culture of Russia...
Nikolai Petrovich published several children's books in small editions. His poems have appeared and appear in periodicals. They are hard to miss.
So who is he, a poet and scientist?
Nikolai Petrovich was born on April 12, 1947 in the city of Shchuchye, Kurgan Region, into a working-class family. While still at school, he began writing poetry, some of which were published in the local newspaper. After graduating from the eighth grade, he went to Chelyabinsk to enter a technical school. He was not accepted due to his eyesight, and he entered a cultural and educational school. Nikolai Shilov graduated with honors in 1966 and was sent to the Leningrad Institute of Culture at the theater department.
He visited Leningrad (more than once), probably in all the theaters and museums. He received such a stock of aesthetic and theatrical education that one can envy him. And he was also lucky: in 1968, as part of a small student group, he visited Germany. There he was even awarded for his good work. But the main reward is the opportunity to see the famous German cities of Dresden, Leipzig, Berlin, their theaters, and learn the culture of the people.
Shilov graduated from the institute, returned to Chelyabinsk, and began teaching at the same school where he himself studied. True, at first he served in the army for one year. In addition to teaching, he and his students wrote scripts, staged plays and concerts.
Since 1970, Nikolai Petrovich began to study in the literary association "Express", which is located at the Palace of Railwaymen. He became friends with the head of the literary association and children's poet Lev Rakhlis.
In 1982, he went to work at the Institute of Culture and began working with Rakhlis. And at Chelyabinsk University Nikolai Petrovich creates a very interesting student theater "Sofit". Over the 10 years of its existence, Sofit has won various competitions more than once.
Nikolai Petrovich, together with L. Rakhlis, wrote the first book for kindergarten teachers and primary school teachers (this was 1992) “Flower of Seven Flowers”, then “Hello, Grandma’s Chest”, “Winnie the Pooh School” and others appeared ( a list of recent works is attached). Everyone who works with young children immediately appreciated the merits of game scripts, competitions, and shows invented by fictional authors, dreamers, and experts on the characters of boys and girls.
Lev Rakhlis by that time was already a famous children's poet (readers remember his books “Is it true or not?”, “Shishel-Myshel...”). Friendship with the children's poet and joint work on scripts were not in vain for Nikolai Shilov. Leaving for America, Rakhlis handed over the baton of the children's poet and the department at the institute to Nikolai Shilov. Now Nikolai Petrovich is the head of the department of directing theatrical performances and celebrations. It is no coincidence that the article about Shilov was called “Professor of the Department of Holidays.” When some big holiday takes place in our city, few people know that the script for this holiday was written by Nikolai Shilov.
Despite being extremely busy at the institute, Nikolai Petrovich manages to write poetry for children.
The first poems appeared in the newspaper "Chronicle", where there was a special children's "Newspaper". From the very first poems of Nikolai Shilov, it became clear that a real children's poet had appeared in Chelyabinsk with a special vision, knowledge of children, and his own words: cheerful, ironic, imaginative, mischievous.
For example:
Announcement
I want to meet you
With the girl LUDA,
Preferably a crybaby
And a terrible bore.
Number such and such
Call at lunchtime
Ogre
Shilov's poems are interesting to both young kindergarteners and elementary school students, and their parents and grandparents. These poems could be called a good remedy against boredom and tediousness. They are good to read aloud...
Letterheads
Little mice
They were gnawing books in the closet,
Baby mice
Big letters.
Nikolai Petrovich’s poems force children to think outside the box, to fantasize, to enjoy unexpected turns, the richness of language, and humor. One example:
In 1996, the Tropinka magazine appeared in Chelyabinsk, where S.B. was the editor-in-chief. Shkolnikov, and Nikolai Petrovich became her deputy and presenter of the section for the little ones - “Kindergarten”. “The Path” contains poems by Shilov himself and many good poems by other poets with whom Nikolai Petrovich introduced our little readers. Unfortunately, "Tropinka" ceased publication due to the departure of the editor-in-chief and organizer of this magazine.
Shilov's poems were published in the Minsk magazine "Kvazhdy-Kva" and in the American newspaper "Russian House", which is now published in Atlanta by Lev Rakhlis.
Shilov's first collection of poems was published in 1997, "Doctor FLY-THROAT-NOSE". Moreover, the first editor of this collection was the talented Chelyabinsk children's poetess Nina Pikuleva.
This is Shilov’s poem that gives the collection its title:
Who needs who
If a fly after a cold
Gets seriously ill
This means that Mucha urgently needs
Doctor FLY-NOSE-THROAT
Well, what if he gets sick?
Cheerful Barbos,
That will help the unfortunate
Doctor EAR-THROAT-DONG.
In 1999 - another collection - "Samsusam". The most complete - 50 poems. “Samsusam” makes it clear to readers big and small how much the poet can do, how interesting his riddle poems, game poems, counting rhymes, horror stories, and dreams are.
But it would be wrong to note only humor and mischief in his poems. There are poems that make both children and adults think about serious things: “Thoughts”, “Summer”, “Cares”
If the river
Don't take care
Will stop
The river is flowing
Will be overgrown with tall trees
Sharp sedge...
Many of Nikolai Petrovich’s poems are dedicated to nature: the wind, flowers, trees, insects. Maybe because he himself is a good gardener, his poems contain such subtle and accurate observations of everything that grows and lives on the earth: “Old People”, “Ladybug”, “Insects”. A very typical poem:
Dandelion
Him
On the crown
Militant
Seeds
Got up
With parachutes
Only the wind
They are waiting -
This is the best weather
To capture
Vegetable garden.
The latest collection was published in 2000 - “Terrible Beast”.
Bright, cheerful poems by Nikolai Shilov “ask” to be set to music. Composer Elena Poplyanova composed a whole musical and poetic cheerful performance based on the poet’s poems - “The Merry Pam-Param Holiday,” so now Shilov’s poems are “sung.”
Nikolai Shilov's books were lucky with their artists: Dima Prokopyev, M. Bubentsova, V. Goryachko, A. Razboinikov understand the poet very well, and their drawings correspond to what the poet is talking about.
Someone will be lucky and attend a meeting with Nikolai Petrovich. Each such meeting is a holiday.
Nina Vasilyevna Pikuleva wrote poetry for one such meeting:
MEET!
On this merry day of May
I hurried to you from afar,
touching my head
Cumulus clouds,
A hundred miracles-performed along the way,
Mischievous like Santa Claus
Nikolai Petrovich Shilov,
Tamer of storms and thunderstorms!
Everyone is allowed to laugh
And-ask-any-question,
Nikolai Petrovich Shilov,
Doctor fly-nose-throat.
Built like Karandashilov,
Cheerful and fresh as an Eskimo,
Nikolai Petrovich Shilov,
Dryer of children's tears.
He is a poet, I know for sure!
Why come to you from afar?
Was he in a hurry for the May Day?
He's glad to see you! Sure enough!
Nikolai Petrovich Shilov
A line that will make you laugh until you cry!
He's not just K-you-in-a-hurry,
He brought his POEMS!
For him the LIVING WORD is
Both work and play.
Have you ever seen something like this?
So meet me, it's time!
On the poet’s birthday, April 12, 2000, he was accepted into the Russian Writers’ Union.
Nikolai Petrovich’s two sons grew up. One became a physicist, the other a historian. The historian already has his own large and interesting book. On Nikolai Petrovich’s desk are poems for the new collection “Hugging a Giraffe” (with his height, you can hug a giraffe). The poetic path of Nikolai Shilov is just beginning. There is every reason to hope that there will be more and more new books, that they will be published in large editions so that everyone who loves children's poems can buy them.
It remains to wish Nikolai Petrovich health, new poems, new scripts for the joy of children and adults.

Shilov Nikolay Petrovich
(12.04.1947- 18.03.2010)
Nikolai Petrovich was born in the city of Shchuchye, Kurgan region. He grew up in a working-class family. Father Peter Mikhailovich and mother Antonina Mikhailovna come from the villages of the Shumikha district of the Kurgan region. They raised three sons. Two became workers, and one became a scientist and poet.
From an early age Kolya had an interest in literature. When he was still in eighth grade, his poems were first published in a local newspaper. Later he wrote prose, plays, and poetry for adults. But more often than not, poems for adults remained unpublished.
After finishing the eighth grade, Nikolai went to Chelyabinsk to enter a technical school. He was not accepted due to his eyesight. Then he entered the cultural and educational school. In 1966, Nikolai graduated with honors and was sent to the Leningrad Institute of Culture named after N.K. Krupskaya. In Leningrad, he could not miss the opportunities that this city provided: libraries, theaters, museums... He continued to write poetry during his student years, published in youth newspapers and magazines. After his first year with a student team, he found himself working on the construction of a gas compressor station in Southern Kazakhstan. After my second year, I visited East Germany with a small student group. There he was even awarded for his good work. But the main reward was getting to know the famous German cities: Dresden, Leipzig, Weimar, Berlin, their museums and theaters.
The time spent studying at the institute was very productive for Nikolai Shilov. At that time, very good specialists taught at the institute, such as the writer Igor Smolnikov and others. Nikolai Petrovich acquired theatrical experience. Together with his classmates, he organized his own theater on the course. He staged Merezhkovsky’s play “Paul I,” which received disapproval from the party committee and the dean’s office. In order to stage “Paul I” and feel the spirit of that era, Shilov visited the Mikhailovsky Castle, where the tsar’s life ended.
Nikolai Petrovich was a regular reader of the institute and theater libraries. Since then, he has had a special relationship with the librarian profession. He discovered the poetry of the Silver Age. Shilov's special hobby is Blok's poetry. He knew almost the entire third volume of the poet by heart.
After graduating from the institute, Nikolai Petrovich returned to Chelyabinsk to work as a teacher at the same school that he himself graduated from. But first he served in the army for a year, where he worked as a librarian! At the school, Nikolai Petrovich organized the “Night Theater” (they rehearsed at night). Both teachers and students played in the performances. Nikolai Petrovich not only directed, but also wrote scripts and prepared concerts.
Since 1970, Shilov began to study in the literary association “Express” (Palace of Railway Workers). There he met the head of the association and children's poet Lev Rakhlis. Despite the age difference of ten years, a friendship began for many years, which played a very important role in the fate of Nikolai Petrovich. In 1982, Nikolai Petrovich went to work at the Chelyabinsk Institute of Culture and began working together with Rakhlis. Lev Yakovlevich had already declared himself as a children's poet, was the author of the book “Shishel-Myshel”, publications in newspapers. Rakhlis is a man of broad interests, great culture, and a rich language. Nikolai Petrovich gained a lot by communicating with his friend. They were united by an interest in poetry, children, theater, and culture.
At the same time, at Chelyabinsk University, Shilov created a very interesting student theater “Sofit”, which over the ten years of its existence has repeatedly won various shows and competitions.
Nikolai Petrovich, together with Lev Yakovlevich, wrote the first joint book for kindergarten teachers and primary school teachers, “Tsvetik-Semitsvetik” (1992). Then “Hello, Grandma's Chest!”, “Winnie the Pooh School” and others appeared. Everyone who works with children immediately appreciated the merits of game scripts, competitions, shows invented by authors - inventors, dreamers. Later these books were included in their collection “A Whale Called “N”, A Whale Called “V”, A Whale Called “F”.
It so happened that Lev Rakhlis, at the insistence of his relatives, left for America in 1993. But the connection between the poets was not interrupted. He handed over the “relay baton” to Nikolai Petrovich - the department at the institute. For 10 years, Nikolai Petrovich headed the department of directing theatrical performances and celebrations at the institute (now the Academy of Culture and Art - ChGAKI). It is no coincidence that one of the articles dedicated to Shilov is called “Professor of the Department of Holidays.” Students call the department “kaifedra”, it’s so interesting to study there.
When big holidays take place in the city: “City Day”, “Man of the Year”, Bazhov Festival, “Bright Past”, “Crystal Drops”..., few people know that the scenarios for these holidays were developed by Nikolai Petrovich. For several years, Nikolai Petrovich was the head of the KVN Formula 1 team of CHELD.
Nikolai Petrovich’s first poems for children appeared on the children’s page of the Chronicle newspaper (1992 -1996). And it immediately became clear that a real children’s poet had appeared in Chelyabinsk:
ANNOUNCEMENT
I want to meet you
With the girl Luda,
Preferably a crybaby
And a terrible bore.
The number is like this
Call at lunchtime
Ogre
The poems of Nikolai Shilov, like any good poems, are interesting to both young children and their parents and grandparents. The poet writes books for friendly adults and children. They are good to read aloud in the family. The poems are easy to read and easy to remember. The poet’s lines make children think outside the box, fantasize, enjoy unexpected turns, humor, and the diversity of language possibilities. And how unexpected and interesting are the titles of his books!
It is no coincidence that in one of his interviews Nikolai Petrovich said: “The meaning of children's poetry is not moralizing, but to go through language school. Feel the language - figurative and delicious." The books of Nikolai Petrovich are this very language school, the school of word creation.
In 1996 - 2000, the children's magazine “Tropinka” was published in Chelyabinsk, where Severina Shkolnikova was the editor-in-chief. Her deputy and presenter of the section for the little ones - “Kindergarten” was Nikolai Petrovich. “Tropinka” published Shilov’s poems and many works by other authors, with whom Nikolai Petrovich introduced young readers. Unfortunately, “Tropinka” ceased publication due to the departure of the editor-in-chief and organizer of the magazine from the country.
Nikolai Petrovich’s poems were published in the Minsk magazine “Kvazhdy-Kva” and in the American newspaper “Russian House”, published in Atlanta by Lev Rakhlis. The poet was published in the Yekaterinburg magazines “Airship” (for reading on airplanes), in the computer magazine “Lap-Top”, in the Chelyabinsk magazines “Napoleon”, “Luch”.
Shilov’s first collection of poems, “Doctor Mucha - Throat-Nose,” was published in Chelyabinsk in 1997. The editor of the collection was our fellow countrywoman, children's poetess Nina Pikuleva. Two years later, Nikolai Petrovich released his second collection - “Samsusam”. It included forty poems. This is a whole poetic wealth: there are poems written with humor, but making you think about serious things (“Thoughts”, “Summer”, “Cares”...)
If the river
Don't take care
Will stop
The river is flowing.
Will be overgrown with tall trees
Sharp sedge.
And there are not just poems, but riddle poems, game poems, counting poems... Many of Nikolai Petrovich’s poems are dedicated to nature, weather, trees, insects. Maybe because he himself is a wonderful gardener, his poems contain such subtle and accurate observations of everything that grows and lives on earth: “Ladybug”, “Insects”, “Flies”, “Fish named Crucian carp”...
In 2004, the Academy of Culture and Art published Nikolai Petrovich’s collection “The Little Pig Who Was a Dog,” where for the first time for children he included a prose work, the title of which became the title of the collection. For the first time, the collection contains a large, serious article about the poet’s work.
Two books by Nikolai Petrovich were especially well published: “Initiation into frogs. Poems for children and adults" and "Summer in jars. Poems for Children" (Autograph Publishing House) with bright drawings by the artist Yuri Popov, in hardcover. “Initiation into Frogs” (2001) opens with the words: “This book contains the author’s own works, as well as translations from fly, frog, magpie, cat, dog, horse and other languages”... The poet makes children marvel at the beauty and diversity of the world . And the book “Summer in Jars” (2006) was written in the best traditions of the author. It is no coincidence that the summer reading program of Yekaterinburg libraries opens with the poem of the same name by Nikolai Petrovich and is consonant with the title “Summer in Rhymes.”
The appearance of these books was another proof of the growth of the poet's skill. And how qualitatively the editions of Nikolai Petrovich’s books change. There is no shame in sending such books to capital and international book exhibitions. Many of his poems became songs. Chelyabinsk composer Elena Poplyanova composed very good music based on the poet’s words. Composer Anatoly Krivoshey wrote music for Nikolai Shilov’s songs for the plays “The Blue Bird” and “Harry Potter”. Shilov is a frequent guest in the children's audience. He communicates well with children. Meetings with him are holidays for children.
On Nikolai Petrovich’s birthday (April 12, 2000) he was accepted into the Russian Writers’ Union
Nikolai Petrovich is a diploma winner of the All-Russian Literary Prize named after Leo Tolstoy (2002), laureate of the Maxim Kline Prize (2001), laureate of the city Golden Lyre award (2007). Since 1995, Nikolai Shilov has been an Honored Worker of Culture of Russia. With all this, Nikolai Petrovich is an amazingly modest person, kind, easy to talk to. He does not know how to “punch” his books, but thanks to his help, the books of his friend Rakhlis are published: “They gave the fish an umbrella”, “On the green island of Borneo”...

Children's poets of our Chelyabinsk. Nikolai Petrovich Shilov (unabbreviated)
“Boys are friends with boys. Girls - with girls. Less often – boys and girls. Even less often are boys and girls with poems... You may ask: “Why do you love them?... What can poetry do?”... It turns out that there are many, many things. Let's count on our fingers.
They talk about things that you yourself have never experienced - be the first to fold. Enrich your memory with the best words - second. They teach you to think, guess, reflect - the third. Develop taste and sense of humor - fourth. And, most importantly, they improve our mood...that’s how much good poetry does for us.
So, after that, figure out whether or not you should be friends with them. In any case, I wish this for you with all my heart.” (N.P. Shilov)

"Shilov Nikolay Petrovich- quite a major poet. His height is one meter eighty-five centimeters, and his weight is ninety kilograms, like ten huge watermelons. But he writes poems for little ones...” This is how Nikolai Petrovich introduced himself to children in the magazine “Tropinka” (1997.- No. 7.-P.29). Indeed, he is a tall man, also handsome, smiling. But children and adults should to know that he is not only a poet, but also an associate professor at the Academy of Culture and Art, an Honored Worker of Culture of Russia” (poet’s personal website, author not specified).

Everyone who works with young children immediately appreciated the merits of game scripts, competitions, and shows invented by fictional authors, dreamers, and experts on the characters of boys and girls.
Lev Rakhlis by that time was already a famous children's poet (readers remember his books “Is it true or not?”, “Shishel-Myshel...”). Friendship with the children's poet and joint work on scripts were not in vain for Nikolai Shilov. Leaving for America, Rakhlis handed over the baton of the children's poet and the department at the institute to Nikolai Shilov. Now Nikolai Petrovich is the head of the department of directing theatrical performances and celebrations. It is no coincidence that the article about Shilov was called “Professor of the Department of Holidays.” When some big holiday takes place in our city, few people know that the script for this holiday was written by Nikolai Shilov.
Despite being extremely busy at the institute, Nikolai Petrovich manages to write poetry for children.
The first poems appeared in the newspaper "Chronicle", where there was a special children's "Newspaper". From the very first poems of Nikolai Shilov, it became clear that a real children's poet had appeared in Chelyabinsk with a special vision, knowledge of children, and his own words: cheerful, ironic, imaginative, mischievous.
For example:
Announcement
I want to meet you
With the girl LUDA,
Preferably a crybaby
And a terrible bore.
Number such and such
Call at lunchtime
Ogre
Shilov's poems are interesting to both young kindergarteners and elementary school students, and their parents and grandparents. These poems could be called a good remedy against boredom and tediousness. They are good to read aloud...
Letterheads
Little mice
They were gnawing books in the closet,
Baby mice
Big letters.
Nikolai Petrovich’s poems force children to think outside the box, to fantasize, to enjoy unexpected turns, the richness of language, and humor. One example:
In 1996, the Tropinka magazine appeared in Chelyabinsk, where S.B. was the editor-in-chief. Shkolnikov, and Nikolai Petrovich became her deputy and presenter of the section for the little ones - “Kindergarten”. “The Path” contains poems by Shilov himself and many good poems by other poets with whom Nikolai Petrovich introduced our little readers. Unfortunately, "Tropinka" ceased publication due to the departure of the editor-in-chief and organizer of this magazine.
Shilov's poems were published in the Minsk magazine "Kvazhdy-Kva" and in the American newspaper "Russian House", which is now published in Atlanta by Lev Rakhlis.
Shilov's first collection of poems was published in 1997, "Doctor FLY-THROAT-NOSE". Moreover, the first editor of this collection was the talented Chelyabinsk children's poetess Nina Pikuleva.
This is Shilov’s poem that gives the collection its title:
Who needs who
If a fly after a cold
Gets seriously ill
This means that Mucha urgently needs
Doctor FLY-NOSE-THROAT
Well, what if he gets sick?
Cheerful Barbos,
That will help the unfortunate
Doctor EAR-THROAT-DONG.
In 1999 - another collection - "Samsusam". The most complete - 50 poems. “Samsusam” makes it clear to readers big and small how much the poet can do, how interesting his riddle poems, game poems, counting rhymes, horror stories, and dreams are.
But it would be wrong to note only humor and mischief in his poems. There are poems that make both children and adults think about serious things: “Thoughts”, “Summer”, “Cares”
If the river
Don't take care
Will stop
The river is flowing
Will be overgrown with tall trees
Sharp sedge...
Many of Nikolai Petrovich’s poems are dedicated to nature: the wind, flowers, trees, insects. Maybe because he himself is a good gardener, his poems contain such subtle and accurate observations of everything that grows and lives on the earth: “Old People”, “Ladybug”, “Insects”. A very typical poem:
Dandelion
Him
On the crown
Militant
Seeds
Got up
With parachutes
Only the wind
They are waiting -
This is the best weather
To capture
Vegetable garden.
The latest collection was published in 2000 - “Terrible Beast”.
Bright, cheerful poems by Nikolai Shilov “ask” to be set to music. Composer Elena Poplyanova composed a whole musical and poetic cheerful performance based on the poet’s poems - “The Merry Pam-Param Holiday,” so now Shilov’s poems are “sung.”
Nikolai Shilov's books were lucky with their artists: Dima Prokopyev, M. Bubentsova, V. Goryachko, A. Razboinikov understand the poet very well, and their drawings correspond to what the poet is talking about.
Someone will be lucky and attend a meeting with Nikolai Petrovich. Each such meeting is a holiday.
Nina Vasilyevna Pikuleva wrote poetry for one such meeting:
MEET!
On this merry day of May
I hurried to you from afar,
touching my head
Cumulus clouds,
A hundred miracles-performed along the way,
Mischievous like Santa Claus
Nikolai Petrovich Shilov,
Tamer of storms and thunderstorms!
Everyone is allowed to laugh
And-ask-any-question,
Nikolai Petrovich Shilov,
Doctor fly-nose-throat.
Built like Karandashilov,
Cheerful and fresh as an Eskimo,
Nikolai Petrovich Shilov,
Dryer of children's tears.
He is a poet, I know for sure!
Why come to you from afar?
Was he in a hurry for the May Day?
He's glad to see you! Sure enough!
Nikolai Petrovich Shilov
A line that will make you laugh until you cry!
He's not just K-you-in-a-hurry,
He brought his POEMS!
For him the LIVING WORD is
Both work and play.
Have you ever seen something like this?
So meet me, it's time!
On the poet’s birthday, April 12, 2000, he was accepted into the Russian Writers’ Union.
Nikolai Petrovich’s two sons grew up. One became a physicist, the other a historian. The historian already has his own large and interesting book. On Nikolai Petrovich’s desk are poems for the new collection “Hugging a Giraffe” (with his height, you can hug a giraffe). The poetic path of Nikolai Shilov is just beginning. There is every reason to hope that there will be more and more new books, that they will be published in large editions so that everyone who loves children's poems can buy them.
It remains to wish Nikolai Petrovich health, new poems, new scripts for the joy of children and adults.

Nikolai Petrovich Shilov
Children's poet
Without the wise and cheerful poems of Nikolai Petrovich, it is difficult to imagine children's literature in the Southern Urals. He can be called the most famous modern children's poet in our region. Many of his poems became songs.
Nikolai Petrovich Shilov was a professor at the Academy of Culture and Art, a famous screenwriter and a born children's poet.
This is how he once said about himself: “Shilov Nikolai Petrovich is a rather major poet. His height is one meter eighty-five centimeters, and his weight is ninety kilograms, like ten huge watermelons. But he writes poems for little ones...” He really was a tall man, and also a very handsome, kind, cheerful person, just like a children's poet should be. The guys really loved meeting Nikolai Petrovich in schools, libraries, orphanages, and kindergartens. Such people in Rus' were called “Children's holidays”.
Nikolai Petrovich was born in the city of Shchuchye, Kurgan region. “...My Ural homeland is known all over the world. She became famous quite recently. When everyone found out about my famous fellow countryman and almost the same age named Chemical Weapons Warehouse. To spite this mentality, I grew up and began writing poetry for children...” (“I’ll sit for a while”). The Shilov family was a working-class family. Father Peter Mikhailovich is a driver. He went through the entire war, drove a formidable Katyusha car, and was bombed more than once. He returned from the war and until the end of his days he carried 12 fragments from enemy shells in his body. Despite this, he never lost heart and was a great inventor. The son probably learned this from his father.
While still at school, Nikolai began writing poetry. When he was in 8th grade, his poems were first published in a local newspaper. But he didn't intend to be a poet. After graduating from the eighth grade, he came to Chelyabinsk to enter a technical school to study to become a mechanic. He was not accepted due to poor eyesight. Then Nikolai entered the cultural school. He probably didn’t even think then that he had chosen his path, his destiny. He graduated from college with honors and went to study at the Leningrad (St. Petersburg) Institute of Culture (theater department). There he learned and saw a lot: museums, theaters, libraries. And Shilov was also lucky: together with other students he visited Germany, got acquainted with beautiful, old German cities, and learned the culture of the German people.
And Nikolai Petrovich graduated from the institute with honors and returned to Chelyabinsk. He taught at the same school from which he graduated, served in the army, and worked in the army library. After the army he returned to teaching. He began to study in the literary association “Express” (Palace of Railway Workers), which was led by Lev Yakovlevich Rakhlis. Readers already knew Rakhlis from children's books: “Is it true or not?”, “Shishel - Myshel”. Nikolai Shilov and Lev Rakhlis became friends. Rakhlis then headed the department at the Institute of Culture (now the Academy of Culture and Art). He invited Nikolai Shilov to work at the institute (1982). Friends taught students how to organize holidays and festive performances. Then they together began to write script books for kindergarten teachers and primary school teachers, came up with various interesting games, competitions, shows: “Flower - Seven-colored Flower”, “Hello, Grandma’s Chest!”, “School of Winnie the Pooh”, etc. These books helped adults a lot in working with children. Later, these scripts were included in the collection “A Whale Named “N”. A whale named "B". A whale named "F" Behind the mysterious letters are the words: Observation, Imagination and Fantasy.
It so happened that Shilov’s friend, Lev Rakhlis, left for America forever in 1993. Nikolai Petrovich continued the common cause. He became a professor, lectured to students, and wrote serious scientific papers. Wrote scripts for major holidays. Not everyone knows that “City Day”, “Bazhov Festival”, children’s festival “Crystal Drops”, and the presentation of the People’s Prize “Bright Past” were held according to his scripts.
But, despite being very busy, Nikolai Petrovich always found time for children's poems. His first poems appeared on the children's page of the Chronicle newspaper (1992 - 1996). And it immediately became clear that a real children's poet had appeared. In 1997, the first collection of poems “Doctor Fly – Throat – Nose” was published. Shilov wrote about the book: “This book is for educators, and for teachers, and for mothers, fathers, grandparents, and, of course, for children. That's how I came up with it. So that no one gets bored..." His poems, like any real children's poems, are interesting to both big and small. Shilov's poems are very good for family reading. They are easy to read and easy to remember.
His poems contain a lot of invention, fantasy, and mischief. There are poems - riddles, poems - games, counting rhymes. But they not only entertain, but also make you think, fantasize, rejoice and be surprised by the Russian language and words. The poet knew children very well, retained a lot from his childhood, and knew how to be amazed, like a child, at everything living and growing on earth. He was also a good gardener, which is why his poems contain so many interesting observations of animals, birds, insects, and plants. It is no coincidence that the book “Initiation into Frogs” opens with the words: “This book contains the author’s own works, as well as translations from fly, frog, magpie, cat, dog, horse and other languages...”. Indeed, it may seem to the reader that Nikolai Petrovich understands the language of animals, birds, and insects.
Nikolai Petrovich has published a dozen and a half books. And each has an unusual title: “Doctor Fly – Throat – Nose”, “Three Rains Ago”, “Summer in Jars”, “The Pig Who Was a Dog”... And the poems themselves are just as interesting. His books “Initiation into Frogs” and “Summer in Jars” (Autograph Publishing House) are the most fully and well published. Hard covers, bright design. Such books deserve to be exhibited at international book exhibitions. A number of Nikolai Petrovich’s collections were published by the Academy of Culture and Art. The 2004 edition of “The Pig Who Was a Dog” is important, where for the first time a prose work by the poet was published for the children, which gave the name to the collection. For the first time, the collection contains a large, serious article by T. Bobina about Shilov’s work.
Nikolai Petrovich’s poems were published in Chelyabinsk magazines: “Napoleon”, “Luch”, “Tropinka”. In “Tropinka” (1996 – 2000), Nikolai Shilov was not only the author of poetry, but also the deputy editor-in-chief and presenter of the “Kindergarten” column. Shilov’s works were also published in other cities of the country: in the Minsk magazine “Kvazhdy-kva”, in the Yekaterinburg newspapers “Quiet Minute”, “Airship” (for reading on airplanes), in the computer magazine “Lap-Top”, in the Kurgan magazine “ How to entertain guests."
Lately, Nikolai Petrovich has been publishing not only books. In the city of Kurgan, a CD “The ABC that can be sung” was released, with poems by Shilov and music by the famous Chelyabinsk composer Elena Mikhailovna Poplyanova. This is not the first work of the poet and composer. Their common book “Merry holiday of Pam - Param: A musical and poetic performance for a very cheerful choir and mischievous soloists”, “Daisy Day” - a collection of songs for children was published. Elena Poplyanova wrote music for 61 poems by Nikolai Shilov. Nikolai Petrovich also worked with composer Anatoly Krivoshey. They created musicals based on the works of M. Maeterlinck “The Blue Bird” and D. Rolling “Harry Potter”. Musicals were staged at the Chelyabinsk Palace of Pioneers and Schoolchildren.
Nikolai Shilov’s books were illustrated by good artists: Yuri Popov, Dmitry Prokopyev, Alexander Razboinikov...
Despite the fact that Lev Rakhlis has been living and working in America for a long time, the friendship of the two poets continued. Nikolai Shilov's poems were published in the Russian House newspaper, published by Rakhlis in Atlanta. And in Chelyabinsk, with the help of Nikolai Petrovich, collections of Rakhlis’s poems were published: “They gave the fish an umbrella”, “On the green island of Borneo”.
Nikolai Petrovich was always friends with children's libraries, with the regional children's library, gave them books, met with readers within their walls. And in libraries the poems of Nikolai Shilov were and are valued. Together with employees of the regional children's library, he worked on a collection of children's works, “War in the Fate of My Family.”
Nikolai Shilov’s work was highly appreciated; since 1995 he has been an Honored Worker of Culture of Russia, a diploma winner at the Russian Leo Tolstoy Competition (2002) for the book “Dedication to Frogs.” Shilov is a laureate of the Chelyabinsk Maxim Kline Prize (2001), the city Golden Lyre Prize (2007). Four of his books won places of honor in regional competitions for the best publishing and printing products in the “Best Edition for Children” category. At the end of January 2010, on the birthday of the famous Ural storyteller, Nikolai Petrovich received the Pavel Bazhov National Prize in Yekaterinburg (for the book “Flight over the Cornflowers”).
Nikolai Petrovich had many creative plans. He collected his best poems for a complete collection. Together with Elena Poplyanova, they prepared “The ABC that can be sung” for publication. We decided to create a musical fairy tale for little ones, “Journey to Dragonfly Station.” Poems for the fairy tale have already been written. The poet and composer had plans to write a musical work based on Andersen’s fairy tale “The Little Mermaid”.
Nikolai Petrovich was a wonderful family man. His wife Valentina Vasilievna was always his assistant and the first editor of his works. They raised two talented sons - a physicist and a historian. Historian Denis is the author of a rare and large book about statesmen of the Russian Empire, works in St. Petersburg at the Russian National Library. In the Shilovs' house there are notebooks with fairy tales that the father composed for his children, homemade newspapers and magazines made in childhood by the poet's sons.
Due to a serious illness, Nikolai Petrovich died early. But everyone who knew him will always remember him. All the best human traits converged in Nikolai Petrovich: wisdom, talent, dignity, kindness, modesty, sense of humor. He attracted people, big and small.
The Academy of Culture and Art has established a special scholarship for students named after Nikolai Shilov. The Academy is preparing for publication a collection of materials about Nikolai Petrovich. The regional universal scientific library and the regional children's library are taking part in the preparation. The collection will contain a complete bibliography of Nikolai Shilov’s works and materials about him.
There are and will be his books in libraries. There is confidence that Nikolai Shilov’s books will be published more than once. And not only in Chelyabinsk.
