List of stories
Huze Olga Fedorovna
The story is provided by the A.K. Yugov Kurgan Regional Library
Olga Fedorovna Huze (1909-1981) was a librarian, translator, writer, literary critic, and the first director of the Kurgan Regional Universal Scientific Library (1943–1951).

Olga Huze was born on February 7, 1909, in Old Peterhof, Leningrad Region, to a railway worker's family. She was Finnish by nationality. In 1930, she graduated from the State Institute of Art History. While still a student, she began working in the children's library of the Petrogradsky district of Leningrad. A year later, Olga Fedorovna was appointed head of this library, and at the same time, she worked as an instructor in school libraries in the Petrogradsky district.
From the end of 1937 to March 31, 1942, until her evacuation from besieged Leningrad, O. F. Huze headed the reading room of the Frunzensky district children's library. For almost ten pre-war years, she was also a part-time methodologist at the City Methodological Office of the Children's Librarian of the Leningrad City Department of Public Education. During these same years, Olga Fedorovna taught children's literature and special library disciplines in city pedagogical schools and at the library department of the A. I. Herzen Pedagogical University.
She decribed her impressions of the most terrible period of life in besieged Leningrad with piercing franknes in her Blockade Diary, which is kept in the archive of the A.K. Yugov Kurgan Regional Universal Library.
From the diary notes of O.F. Huze:
January 7, 1942:
"The hunger is absolute. We can't get anything for the third ten days, not to mention the first ten days of January. Today, they didn't even make soup in the canteens - no water, no firewood, and I suspect there isn't even any flour to thicken the soup. Today I am eating tomorrow's bread, I can't anymore, it is very hard for me to take it in advance, but I can't do anything. It seems, I have to prepare for the end, for death".
January 30, 1942:
"It is almost impossible for those not living in Leningrad now to imagine our life. Train stations have been dead for 2-3 months, trams stopped in the last five days of November, in December they worked sometimes, but stopped and got stuck at intersections and streets and stood half-covered with snow. The water supply stopped. No electricity. No radio. No mail. No newspapers. A truck on the street is a rarity, and even then it is more often a military vehicle. Bread is transported on sledges. Water is carried from the Neva in buckets and kettles. Thousands of queues for bread. Fires. Which are not extinguished, because there is no water, and it freezes in the nozzles".
March 19, 1942:
"Marusya and I are facing evacuation. I won't say that it made me happy, too much has been experienced here to part so easily. But an order from the Motherland is an order, and, if necessary, we will go with joy, although it is scary to start life again in a foreign place and in such a hard year".
O.F. Huze's diary pages contain entries about working with readers:
December 3, 1941:
"I lose myself in work. Today, I conducted a conversation in the bomb shelter at Elizaveta Ivanovna's for schoolchildren in the 3rd-4th grades. It relieved my heart a little, something of the past wafted by..." (12/3/41).
December 26, 1941:
"Today, I gave a report to the 8th-10th grades at School No. 9 about Korolenko and connected it with a practical matter – creating a small library for the hospital from books donated by students. The students are wonderful. They study excellently in the freezing classrooms."
March 8, 1942:
"Yesterday, I gave a report for the teachers of School No. 9 on 'The Image of Women in Russian Literature.' It was pleasant and joyful to see how their eyes and faces lit up. Great Russian literature is a weapon in the fight against hunger, cold, and death! How much joy and cheerfulness, strength and hope it gives us these days."
In April 1942, O. F. Huze and her sister were evacuated from besieged Leningrad and, after spending 17 days on the journey, arrived in Kurgan on April 23. Olga Fedorovna had a hard time getting used to the new life, but, as always, her favorite work and books saved her.
‘Kurgan 1943.’
(Poem by O.F. Huze)

Влекло людей в промерзлый кабинет
тревогами своими поделиться,
и дружба с многими из дальних лет
и по сей день, не остывая, длится.
Температуры выше плюс пяти
В рабочем кабинете и не жди.
Там печки не было, вернее раскалялась
за стенкой печь,
но эта сторона,
как ни топи, совсем не прогревалась
и комната была так холодна,
что частым посетителям моим
казалась просто Домом Ледяным.
А я, дровишками не запасясь заране,
и не надеялась попасть на зиму в дом.
В служебном кабинете на диване
спала под одеялом и ковром.
The building that originally housed the Kurgan Regional Library
On July 5, 1943, by the decision of the Oblispolkom, the Kurgan Regional Library was established based on the district central library. Under the leadership of Olga Fedorovna, the book collection and library space were significantly increased, and staff was appointed.
She met the end of the war in Kurgan, serving as the director of the Kurgan Regional Library. Although Olga Fedorovna did not leave behind special memories or lines about the Victory day, her letters and recollections contain phrases like: "...We will not call our era a Renaissance; we will call it an embodiment and realization of humanity's best dreams; we will call our future a Golden Age. It will be."
"After Victory, all the bad will be forgotten..." interview with O.F. Huze // Kurgan and Kurgan Residents, January 27, 2009
Starting in 1947, the Kurgan Regional Library prepared librarians for work in district libraries for several years. Olga Fedorovna managed to attract the best creative talents in the region: local historians, artists, writers, and art critics. The forms and methods of working with readers at the regional library underwent fundamental changes. The book collection increased several times due to various sources of acquisition. Under Olga Fedorovna's initiative and direct participation, various discussions, reviews of new books, newspapers, magazines, exhibitions of artists, and lectures on literature and the works of both domestic and foreign art were held in the library's reading room. O.F. Huze dedicated eight years to establishing the Kurgan Regional Library, transforming it into a cultural stronghold in Zauralye during difficult wartime and post-war years. Olga Fedorovna Huze led the Kurgan Regional Library until June 7, 1951.
A literary scholar by education, she personally knew many writers. The Kurgan Regional Library has copies of letters addressed to O.F. Huze from K. Fedin, A. Tvardovsky, V. Grossman, A. Kron, and P. Antokolsky.
"The emergence of such an extraordinary personality as Olga Fedorovna Huze in a small provincial town like Kurgan was a good impetus for forming a creative environment and raising the overall culture of both library readers and ordinary citizens. Preserving the memory of this remarkable person is our duty to the future."

Returning to Leningrad, Olga Huze found herself in her element. For many years, O.F. Huze worked as an editor at the Leningrad branch of the publishing house "Children's Literature." She was a regular contributor to the magazine "Zvezda," where she published bibliographic notes and reviews of works from domestic literature.

The birth of a song to the verses of Olga Huze
The director of the library from 1994 to 2014, Svetlana Egorovna Zolotykh, recounts:
"With the veteran Lyubov Nikolaevna Kiseleva from Yugovka, we met for almost 40 years during joyful celebrations or sad events in the life of the library. And then one day she approached me with a question: 'Svetlana Egorovna, I have an idea—what if music is added to O.F. Huze's poem "The Addressee Has Left the Unit"?' I had long noticed that our veterans are unstoppable; they are still passionate people. 'That's great, Lyubov Nikolaevna, go for it,' I replied, not entirely sure who would respond or who needed this now.
Some more time passed. Notes and a recorded disc landed on my desk. The music, as it turned out, was written by Alexander Fadeev himself, a well-known figure, a distinguished cultural worker, a talented person and a great friend of the library. The performers of the song are: vocals – Anastasia Cherepanova, piano – Leila Ruban, violin – Anna Shustova, drums – Alena Miropolskaya. ...Thus appeared the ballad song... "
