Vladimir Viktorovich Orlov was born in 1936. His father worked as a journalist. Studied enrolled in 1954 at the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University.
Будущий писатель увлекался кино, считая, что it can replace other forms of art. However, at the end of the 3rd year, Vladimir Orlov ceased to engage in the development of scenarios and sports. The reason for this was the health of the parents, which was shaken. After that, he was hired to work for the newspaper Sovetskaya Rossiya as a reporter, where he had a place on the fourth page. As a student in 1957, Vladimir Orlov went to Siberia. The first place of stay was the Altai virgin, and later - the Yenisei. His graduation project described the activities of the builders of the Abakan-Taishet road. Having successfully defended his work and graduated from the university in 1959, Vladimir Orlov received an invitation from the newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda.
For 10 years, the writer has worked invarious editorial departments. The activity of Vladimir Orlov was active and meant a lot of sidings. Having worked for some time, the writer realized that he could not express his work with essays, reports and correspondence, that is why he decided to write long works.
I had to compose at night and early in the morning,before work, because of this, there were delays in the editorial office. The first work, the novel "Salty Watermelon", was published in 1963 in the journal "Youth". Art lovers appreciated it. In addition, on the basis of his novel, a screen adaptation was made and performances were staged in theaters. In 1965, the author was admitted to the Union of Writers of the USSR. In 1968, a second novel was published under the title “After the Rain on Thursday”. The combination of work in the editorial office and writing novels was very hard for Vladimir Orlov, and in 1969 he decided to leave Komsomolskaya Pravda. However, unimportant times have come in the writer's life. For almost 7 years of his work, no one has published. As Vladimir Orlov thought, he was considered unpromising. Romantic optimism had dried up by then. In the first place went the socialist mirage that prevailed in society. Benefiting from it were cynical and dishonest people who met their needs.
Vladimir Orlov - a writer who was born undersign of Virgo and always considered himself a prudent person. The reality of that time was perceived as an inevitable reality, which he could not change. I never got into any squabbles and scandals, I didn’t like to fight either. The ideal person for himself considered Johann Bach. For the composer, the primary task was to ensure the well-being of his beloved family, to find a good job, to have a good beer in his free time. And in his work he strove for elevation. While in Germany, the writer visited many of the habitats of Johann Bach. After a while, Vladimir Orlov realized that the German composer was the prototype of the hero Altista Danilov.
During the 70s, Orlov realized thatthe creativity of any writer in the first place must stand patience, as well as the ability to preserve the identity of the individual. And the most important thing is to do what you love, writing novels, because the readers did not see Vladimir Orlov’s poems. In 1972, the writer finished work on the novel "The Accident in Nikolsky". It was published in the oldest magazine, New World. For two years, Vladimir Orlov had to live his only hopes, which were destroyed by censorship. I had to earn my living for bread with reviews and translations from the Lezgin language (for children's literature). In 1976, fairly censored, a unique novel was published by Soviet Writer. The work of Vladimir Orlov was a domestic drama. Some of the nature of the writer turned into a fantastic story about the Ostankino brownie. It was published after 16 years.
Орлов очень любил фантастику, большое впечатление produced the production of "Blue Bird" at the Moscow Art Theater and the Nutcracker by Grigorovich. Vladimir Orlov did not write poems for children. Orlov's favorite writers were Bulgakov, Swift, Rabelais, Gogol, which led to the presence of the genre of magical realism in his works. The novel "Viola Danilov" for 3 years passed all instances, until in 1980 it was not published. The public showed a wide interest in him, both in his native country and abroad. Thus, for Vladimir Orlov, such success was akin to the sensations of a man who heard the sound of “copper pipes”. The next novel “Apothecary”, which also did not immediately come out, but only after 2 years (in 1988), did not arouse much interest among the people, because it was not written on the topic of the day.
На протяжении нескольких лет Владимир Орлов engaged in writing an essay. However, I realized that my own nature can not without writing works. After that, he began work on the novel Shevrikuk, or The Love for a Ghost. The work was printed in parts, as it was written, by the magazine Yunost. The last episode of the novel was completed by Vladimir Orlov in 1997, so the last part of the Ostankino stories was completed. The reason for writing "Shevrikuki ..." was the writer's own conscience. Vladimir Orlov at the end of the 80s worked as a Literary Institute and conducted seminars. From his students, he demanded the writing of new works, so it was necessary to create himself. Working with students helped the writer feel useful.
В 2008 году был опубликован роман «Камергерский lane. The plot describes the lives of people living in the alley. There are domestic, semi-detective and love episodes. In 2011, the novel "Frogs" was published. The plot describes the life of a writer who is in a creative crisis, but the case of frogs radically changes his fate. The last novel was released in 2013 and is called "The Earth is in the shape of a suitcase." Reading it, we discover a new world with a lot of mysteries. It is possible without exaggeration to put an equal sign between the title of genius and the name of Vladimir Orlov, whose biography is also very interesting and rich.
