Landau Biography of the wife
But the intimate and unsightly secrets of geniuses, which accidentally or, conversely, specially became a universal property, are in particular demand. The intimate aspects of the life of the Soviet Academician and Laureate of the Nobel Prize in Physics Lev Davidovich Landau were covered in the book that was written ... his wife. Why did a woman who completely devoted her life to a genius and loved him madly, put up the “dirty linen” of her family for display?
The book "Academician Landau. How we lived, ”the wife of the genius of Concordia Korobantseva-Landau began to write in the year, immediately after the death of her husband. This work took a woman for 10 years, and the author did not claim a large circulation and a solid fee. The bark knew perfectly well that in the USSR her work would never be published and the book was reprinted on cars and spread through friends, like the whole samizdat of those years.
Concordia Drobantsev-Landau Samizdat Book of Memoirs, equipped with photographs from the family archive, was in great demand and caused a colossal scandal. The memoirs of Landau cortex were replete with unsightly intimate details of the personal life of Lev Landau and many other scientists with whom he talked. The woman showed the most unsightly aspects of the public scientific society, showing the "celestials" of the world of science with ordinary people with unsightly vices.
To unravel the most difficult ball of my life, I had to climb into the obscene trifles of life, in the intimate aspects of human life, purely hidden from prying eyes, sometimes lurking so much charms, but also abomination too. I wrote only the truth, one truth ... ". So the ladau bark was justified after her book caused a storm of indignation in Soviet society. It is difficult to say whether it is true that the book of the scientist wrote for herself.
Despite the rumors that the woman accidentally forgot the first printed copy in a trolleybus, the majority was sure that the memories spread the author on purpose. Readers of the book were shocked - from the book it followed that the Academy of Sciences is full of sexually preoccupied people, some of which also suffered from various perversions. Scientists changed lovers and lovers like socks, and none other than Leo Landau helped them in this.
The book mentioned only one decent person and a faithful husband - the rest used the Landau telephone room for secret negotiations with mistresses, and his apartment and cottage - like places of dates. The living space allowed Lev Davidovich to organize meetings - he and his wife lived alone in five rooms until their son was born. The cottage, according to Kore, almost constantly served a place of dates for a close friend of Landau - Professor Livshits.
A woman paid this person especially a lot of attention to this person - she sincerely hated her husband’s colleague and considered him the main perpetrators of family troubles. The bark did not spare her ingenious husband either - Academician Landau crystal in the eyes of Soviet society was shown as a completely immoral type. The scientist covered his rampant profanity with spatial discussions about the freedom of the personality.
Once in his youth he vowed to devote himself to science, not to drink, not to smoke and not communicate with women. Therefore, Landau lost her virginity only at 27, and then all his life actively “catch up” the lost one. When marriage with Concordia, Landau clearly set the conditions for family life, which should have been observed implicitly.
The scientist demanded complete sexual freedom in marriage and provided her with his wife. At the same time, he especially stipulated the moment that he would not hide his adventures from his wife and forbids her to also hide treason. Kora Drobantseva and Lev Landau lived together for 34 years - 12 years in civil and 22 years in an official marriage.
All this time, a “non -aggression pact” was operating between them, which completely untied the spouses of their hands in terms of betrayal. Landau had his own theory of happiness, about which he wrote like this: “I created some good physical theories, but what a pity that I can’t publish my best theory - how to live ... my husband cannot be happy if he has an unhappy wife.
The role of a loser, sufferer and no dullness at all suit me. I have other plans. " Landau believed that jealousy, lies and suspicion poison the married life and make it unbearable. There are very few women who could accept such a lifestyle. The main thing that a person should do in his life is to be happy. Therefore, walk, love and rejoice at every day! You can marry at the same time, but remember that spouses are absolutely free people!
Kore was alien to this approach, and she, who was madly loved and at the same time hated Landau suffered heavily. He was her deity and her tormentor. When Concordia could not stand it and broke, arranging a scene of jealousy, he became furious and deprived her of money for expenses. Sometimes he did it just like that, for prevention. In order not to mock herself, the bark tried to leave when her husband brought her mistresses home.The woman described the situation when Landau came home with a woman without warning and her legal wife had to hide in her house in the closet.
Her husband opened the closet, saw the bark and immediately locked her with a key. The unfortunate woman was forced to sit in a wooden box and listen to her husband indulges in love joys with a stranger. After such a case, any, even the most loving and patient spouse would collect things and escaped, but the bark judged differently: “I myself am to blame for everything.
After all, she promised that he would forever remain a bachelor. I have a feeling that I deceived the child. After all, he is clean like a child. " The book "Academician Landau. How we lived ”made the bark of Landau an outcast. She was hated, cursed and accused of slander and perverted imagination. Samizdat copies of the book were looking for and mercilessly destroyed, but they appeared again and again.
Another blow for everyone was the recognition of the son of the academician - Igor Landau. He fully confirmed all the nightmares who reigned in the family. A similar life was not very easy for my mother, who, although she agreed with such a state of affairs, but suffered a lot of it. ” But why was the book that destroyed the reputation of the brilliant physicist with a world -famous name and made his wife a renegade was written?
Psychologists believe that the years of psychological violence could have ended with severe psychosis and even suicide for Landau. The book, written by the wife of the academician, by the way, a fascinating and living language, became an outlet, a way out of a mental impasse, in the way not to go crazy. That is why the bark spit on the reputation of her husband, her own and many familiar people, wrote a scandalous, but truthful book.
It is possible that it was also revenge on her beloved, but with a despotistical husband, for many years of humiliation. And we can only accept the fact that great people can have oddities. Nicola Tesla was not deprived of them, who is not in vain called "crazy Serb." Did you know that we have Telegram? Subscribe if you are a connoisseur of beautiful photos and interesting stories!
