Ilya Reznik backfired poems about boyfriend Kirkorov
Ilya Reznik backfired poems about boyfriend Kirkorov
When ex-wife poet Ilya REZNIK Munira ARGUMBAEVA started a scandalous divorce proceedings with him, no one was especially surprised that Alla PUGACHEVA supported her in this undertaking. Despite the fact that Ilya Rakhmielevich wrote many hits for Alla Borisovna and was a member of her inner circle for many years, a few years ago they quarreled and stopped communicating. We decided to find out why.
History of the conflict Alla Pugacheva and Ilya Reznik leaves in 1996. Then Alla Borisovna, about to leave the stage, released the Golden Collection, which included 13 discs. The singer promised all songwriters to pay a fee - 25 percent of the proceeds. The cost of the collection at that time was exorbitant - about $ 200, but people bought, and the amount from sales turned out to be about $ 6 million. Having realized what kind of money she was holding in her hands, the prima donna forgot about her promises and began building a chic country mansion on the Istra reservoir. When the other co-authors applied for royalties, it turned out that all the money had already gone to the house. Soon the crisis of 1998 happened, and there was nothing to give at all.
The deceived musicians and lyricists, including Reznik, sued Alla Borisovna, and only after signing the settlement agreement did the prima donna agree to pay them $100,000. The money is small, but since then Pugacheva has hated Reznik. Even ten years later, she remembered this story when, hoping for his failure with Raymond Pauls project "Two Maestro", repeatedly stated that they would not appear at the concert. And a couple of years ago, the prima donna also refused to place an advertisement on the air of Radio Alla
holiday evening, dedicated to the day maestro's birth.
The last straw that overflowed Alla Borisovna’s patience, according to rumors, was the book “The Adventures of Boba the Greek” published by Reznik, where he unequivocally mentioned Philip’s unconventional sexual orientation in the poem “Privoz”:
All Odessa came to eat,
My contingent fought, that was the strength.
Kirkorov did not get a place here,
When you brought your boyfriend to eat.
Undoubtedly, the prima donna's clan had a hand in organizing the trial against Reznik, the poet's lawyer said. Sergey Zhorin. - What is there to talk about if the interests of Munira were represented by the lawyer Alla Borisovna Yana Zhukova?! True, it is not very clear who exactly provides her support. There is a suspicion that this is not done by Alla Borisovna herself, but by Philip Bedrosovich, who hides behind her name. This whole story with Reznik is very reminiscent of last year's story with Valery Meladze when he was accused of assaulting a journalist. Then Kirkorov, offended that Meladze condemned him for beating Marina Yablokova, also provided the victim with his lawyer. In the same way, Reznik's conflict with his ex-wife was blown up from scratch. Munira lived well with her son in the USA for 14 years on the money of Ilya Rakhmielevich. She received his American pension there, which he is paid as a green card holder. Plus, he sent her a dozen "greens" a month.
And suddenly, after 14 years of separation, when Reznik decided to officially divorce, she began to protest. “Munira has lived all these years with the feeling that she has a family,” her representatives said. - And here is some kind of divorce application. It was a shock for her." Munira was simply confused and used. This court was clearly not in her favor. The most controversial was the demand that Reznik pay child support to Munira on the grounds that she was an elderly woman. “And why do you think that he should pay alimony to her, and not vice versa? I objected. - Ilya Rakhmielevich too retirement age. His only official income is 40 thousand rubles, which he receives monthly from the Russian Authors' Society. Where is the evidence that he earns more? Our opponents could not confirm the financial position of Reznik. As a result, all their applications were rejected. And the judge recognized the marriage of Reznik and Munira as annulled.In fact, Reznik's ex-wife Munir has always disliked Pugacheva. There is a story in the party about how Pugacheva came to the wedding of Ilya Rakhmielevich and Munira and presented to the bride Golden ring. After the newlyweds went to the hotel "Russia", went into their room, and Munira first of all opened the window and threw out the prima donna's gift - the hatred for the singer was so strong. But to annoy now ex friend, Pugacheva spit on the grievances of the past and teamed up with Munira against a common enemy. As they say, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
By the wayWhen this issue was being signed for publication, it became known that Pugacheva, through intermediaries, sent Reznik and his beloved woman Irina Romanova an invitation to celebrate her birthday on April 15th. But Reznik said: “We will not go in any case!”
Ilya Reznik spoke about the betrayal of loved ones, the mistakes of youth and those who.
The legendary poet Ilya Reznik turned 77 years old. About him difficult life you can safely shoot the series. In an exclusive interview, Ilya Rakhmielevich frankly spoke about the loves that made him make mistakes, the family tragedy that broke out in childhood, and Masha Rasputina, because of whose song he was seriously criticized.
Ilya Rakhmielevich, 77 is a beautiful figure. What do you think about this?
- I think nothing. I sit in a cafe in the center of Moscow with my beloved woman and look out the window (smiles). In the beginning, I didn't want to celebrate my birthday at all. But a friend of our family, a great doctor, academician of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences Leyla Adamyan insisted, she said that she would organize everything herself. And indeed! She took over the chic feast, and my Irochka was engaged in the creative part of the evening. We had a warm, family get-together. All the guests' eyes were burning with happiness: we sang and danced in chorus, there were wonderful performances and improvisations. In the best Soviet traditions, I would say.

For example, my friend Andrey Karaulov sang Mussorgsky amazingly. Iosif Kobzon performed the song "My Way". I had Zinaida Kiriyenko, Emmanuil Vitorgan, Aziza, Anna Shatilova, doctors and military men... Kai Metov sang my new song! Many greetings and congratulations came. From the heads of law enforcement agencies and departments, State Duma deputies, senators ... I also received a postcard from Svetlana Medvedeva - in general, the atmosphere was amazing. The next day, the guests called: “We haven’t experienced this for a long time!” I also tried: I presented new books to everyone, and I also wrote separate quatrains-dedications to everyone. I had to sleep for a couple of nights. I tried for my relatives, they appreciated it. They will be remembered for a long time.
– What are you dreaming about now, Ilya Rakhmielevich?
- I wish I had a job. Thank God, so far everything is in order. Finished writing the rock opera Mozart and the book Fables. Now I cook a lot interesting book: "Culinary Sonnets". He has already written about thirty-five sonnets: "About potato pancakes", about vegetarianism, about snacking ...
Looking back, do you regret anything?
- Sorry, I'm very gullible. He made many mistakes because of his “falling in love” with the performers. Then they betrayed me. Although, on the other hand, if there were no creative loves, there would probably not be such works. The circle is closed: one cannot exist without the other. It is unlikely that I would have revised or changed something if I had such an opportunity. This is how life turned out: step by step, like stained-glass windows folded into one large canvas ...

There were indeed many betrayals in the life of Ilya Reznik. Betrayed him first own mother. Returning from school, the future poet saw a parent who, together with the nanny, was pushing a stroller with triplets. Ilya called to his mother, and she crossed to the other side of the road. Since then, he has been raised by his grandmother.
“I forgave her,” Reznik sighs. “I thought a lot about why she did it. Life was like this: a difficult post-war time ... She was left alone. Dad died of his wounds in the hospital. Surely she wanted prosperity, so she got married ... I can understand this now, but then it was very difficult for me. Sometimes I dreamed about her. But more often I dream of my grandparents, who raised me and to whom I am very grateful. They supported me and taught me kindness all my life. Therefore, my wife Irina and I have four dogs picked up on the street, two cats ... This comes from Ira's mother and my grandmother. Now another one, Liza, was picked up, already the fourth. Irochka, dogs and cats are the only ones who have never betrayed me. They are our happiness!
Few people know, but Reznik regularly helps homeless animals. And sometimes he introduces other performers to this. For example, Angelica Agurbash transferred a thousand dollars to a kennel for homeless dogs a few years ago.
“Yes, there was such a story,” the maestro did not deny. - She asked for permission to use one song in duet concerts with Borey Moiseev. She herself named the price: "A thousand dollars." We said we didn't need the money and asked her to transfer it to a dog shelter. Ilona Bronevitskaya organized her own shelter. We gave him the details, and this singer sent money to feed the dogs there. Ilona is a great fellow. Her mother, Edita Piekha, also loves dogs very much. We have known Edita for over forty years. I was very friendly with her husband, Shurochka Bronevitsky, they were the first to introduce me to a large audience, and I wrote many songs for her: “Birch Land”, “I love this world”, “Smile, people!” He performed at her concerts, read poetry. Edith is generally very kind and touching. By the way, she is the first singer who began to pronounce my name from the stage. Unlike other artists who owe me more, but who never did.

Ilya Reznik does not like to talk about how songs are written.
- You can write a good song in an hour, or you can sit and write all your life! Ilya Rakhmielevich smiles. - It's all about the soul. For example, "Little Country" by Natasha Koroleva was born as soon as Igor Nikolaev showed me wonderful music.
- Did you immediately understand that this is a future hit?
- I did not understand anything. If I understood how hits are made (smiles). You write according to your abilities and abilities. And then the viewer decides.
- Many do not know, but you also wrote one of Allegrova's visiting cards - “I will part the clouds with my hands”!
- Yes, to the music of Igor Krutoy. But the song “Curtain”, which Allegrova also sang, is more dear to me. The song is powerful, but it seems to me underestimated. In a new reading, it is sung by Eteri Beriashvili, one of the brightest participants in the Voice.
- Allegrova will not be offended?
Why not? Irina did her job. The way she sang was wonderful. Now there is another interpretation. Not only "Curtain" sings Eteri. Now there is a new reading of The Wanderer. This song is sung by the unique musician and arranger Michael Knight. If "Cabriolet" is sung by the whole country, what will I do? Or "Starry Summer", or "Old Clock", "Vernissage"? Am I going to run around the halls and corporate parties and forbid? Of course not. I have spoken and written many times on this subject. Copyright is not protected in our country. That's why I took my songs out of the control of RAO and wrote open letter Prime Minister Medvedev. Do you think anything has changed? No. They call from radio stations and TV channels and ask: what will we do without your songs? Who to get permission from? Whom to pay? And I don't have answers to these questions. Also with a 5% fee from Internet users, a new intrigue. All in all, this is sad. The state must decide and protect the authors.
- By the way, a couple of years ago you officially banned Ouspenskaya from performing "Cabriolet" and were even going to sue her. And she still sings it everywhere. Why?
I don't even want to hear that name. Of course, I know that he sings and earns. But I don't want to promote it. I have forgotten this name forever. She sings all my songs at corporate parties. How to get copyright with this money? Funny and sad.

- Ilya Rakhmielevich, and with your muse - Alla Pugacheva - you never reconciled?
I didn't quarrel with her. Each of us has our own way and path! We had a great past, but no future. She no longer sings. And I write "Mozart" and "Fables". Each of us has our own life. Pauls and I wrote not only for Alla, but also for Laima, and for Valera Leontiev. They are still in my soul. But we rarely talk. They don't ask for new songs, they don't need them. They don't sing anything new at all. Basically the luggage that is available.
- Now, as I understand it, Masha Rasputina has become your muse?
- Masha is not a muse, she is a brilliant performer. Masha has a happy marriage. You should have seen how her husband Vitya speaks about her. With what loving eyes he looks at her. I haven't seen this in a long time! I wrote several songs for Masha. At my recent concert "Serve Russia" in the Kremlin, she sang a song about our president. She was very talented, by the way.

- Have you heard that Rasputin is already being criticized for this hit?
- Criticize those who do not respect our president. Fifth column of traitors. Thank God that we have such a great personality. Russia deserves such a president. Begged. And we must pray for his health. Because, most importantly, he did not allow the Maidan in Bolotnaya, that in Russia there is no war, no bombing, as in Ukraine. “The unhealed wound of war threatens you and me again with trouble. That war will not have veterans. The third world will not have them ... ”This is from my song. I know what war is. I'm a blockade child...
Reznik himself was often criticized. Two years ago, a real persecution unfolded around Ilya Rakhmielevich. First, Munir's ex-wife, who for a long time lived in the USA, returned to Russia and began to sue the poet. And then Ilya Rakhmielevich was fined for driving along the median strip. A terrible scandal erupted.
- It was a big disgusting, - the poet sighs. – 160 media wrote about my violation. Just recently, Nikas Safronov broke the rules, crossed the double line, turned around, and that's it. I paid a fine of one and a half thousand rubles, and there was no scandal, everything is fine. And I was driving at a speed of 60 km along the median strip! It turns out that one person really wanted to become chairman of the Public Council under the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I found out about this later. And then I did not understand what was happening. Why such bullying? If the Commander-in-Chief of the Internal Troops congratulates me on my birthday and sends me an award, perhaps this says something? As for Munira. I was told that she bought an apartment in Moscow. car. And I still live in a rented house. I don’t want to talk about it and find out from where and with whose money… Thank God that I don’t hear or see her and they left me alone.
- Ilya Rakhmielevich, then you said: "If the persecution does not end, then I will leave Russia forever." I hope you've changed your mind.
“In fact, it was almost a provocation. On one of the channels they filmed my "Confession". The journalist, nimble and not very pleasant, always wanted some kind of sensation. She said that I was so positive, but how are we going to take our viewer? We need a scandal. And asked to play along with them. They came up with a trip to Kyiv. Ira left the office where the interview was being written, and she asked me to write down this phrase. "I'm leaving. This is bullying…” When Ira found out, she was shocked. They promised not to insert this phrase... But it was too late... You know your colleagues better than me. It is done. And I also helped her arrange an interview with Yuri Mikhailovich Luzhkov. She's fine with this interview. She told the authorities that she herself found him and achieved an exclusive. Although this channel brought him a lot of trouble, he agreed because of me. Here is the story of the departure.

Now the poet lives happily with his wife Irina. He calls her his guardian angel. Although he admits that sometimes they argue.
- If we argue, then on working moments. When she was preparing “Serve Russia” for three months, she gave a lot of strength. There were sleepless nights. It's best not to disturb her at this time. She is a great organizer. My Irochka is not only a beloved woman, she is also a brilliant assistant and generator of all my ideas! I was just lucky! I pulled out a lucky ticket. And every day I thank God for this...
Over the years of his career, Ilya Reznik wrote more than two thousand songs, thanks to which many star performers appeared on the national stage. His lyrical heartfelt hits are still remembered and listened to by many music lovers who admire the talent of a songwriter. With age, Ilya Rakhmielevich did not lose interest in his favorite business, and now in his creative biography there are new compositions that attract the attention of his fans. He still feels an unprecedented surge of strength, which allows him to easily spend his concert evening for four hours. Reznik manages not only to write poetry and songs, but also conducts master classes where he teaches the younger generation the basics of acting and writing.
He draws strength and inspiration from communication with family and friends, experiencing happiness and joy from every day he lives. For several years in the personal life of the People's Artist there have been strong family relationships. He is connected with his wife not only general work and hobbies, but also bright love.
The future songwriter was born in 1938 in Leningrad. His early childhood years fell on the harsh front-line battles. The boy's father went to fight the Germans and never returned home, dying in 1944. Little Ilya survived the deadly blockade, and then was evacuated to the Urals. After the end of the war, his mother remarried, and then gave birth to three children: his younger sisters Vera, Marina and brother Vladimir. His stepfather did not want to see someone else's child in his family, so the future poet was raised by his paternal grandparents, who then adopted him. Soon his mother and her family left for Riga, so their communication ceased for many years. But over time, Reznik forgave his parent and being famous person Communicated with his family and helped as much as possible.
AT school years the boy did not even dream of a creative path, but dreamed of the seas and long voyages. He intended to enter the Nakhimov School, and then study military career. However, already in high school, Ilya became interested in acting, thanks to which, after graduating from school, he came to the Institute of Theater, Music and Cinema.
young years... He did not manage then to become a student of the chosen university, but in order not to waste time, he worked for some time as a laboratory assistant, and then got a job in the theater, where he performed various duties. Young Reznik did not forget his dream, but only at the age of 20 he managed to enter the acting department.
After graduation, the actor played on the stage of the V. F. Komissarzhevskaya Theater and at the same time was writing poetry, which he became interested in as a student. At first, Ilya Rakhmielevich wrote poems for children, thanks to which the song "Cinderella" was born, performed by Lyudmila Senchina. Realizing his destiny, the young poet left the theater and took up song poetry. In 1972, he met Alla Pugacheva, which became fateful for both. Having performed the poet's song "Let's sit and have a look", the singer became the laureate of the All-Union Song Contest, and then her career went uphill. His composition “Apple Trees in Bloom”, which was sung by Sofia Rotaru, also became successful.
Reznik always wrote poetry in different genres, finding demand for his patriotic, military and lyrical compositions. His songs brought many victories to both the poet himself and his performers, among whom are such stage stars as Edita Piekha, Tamara Gverdtsiteli, Laima Vaikule, Irina Ponarovskaya, Irina Allegrova and many others.
Great recognition and love of the audience received such compositions of the poet as:
His beautiful poems always found their composer, with whom he collaborated over many years of creativity: Raymond Pauls, Maxim Dunaevsky, Evgeny Martynov, Vladimir Feltsman, Igor Nikolaev and others. Ilya Rakhmielevich has always expanded his creative interests, taking part in the TV show "Two Stars", as well as acting in films.
The poet, who has excellent external data (height - 187 cm; weight - about 80 kg), has always been successful with women, but despite this, he was in no hurry to start a family and for a long time had the status of a bachelor. Only at the age of 30 did he meet his future wife Regina, who was more than ten years younger than him. At that time, the spouses were connected by a common work, and soon children appeared in their family: son Maxim was born in 1968, daughter Alice - in 1976. A few years later, this union broke up, and after the separation of the parents, the son stayed with the star father.
Ilya Reznik with his second wife Munira Argumbaeva and son Artur A few years later, Reznik decided to re-establish his personal life, and his new darling became a dancer and choreographer Munira Argumbaeva from Uzbekistan. After the birth of his son Arthur (1989), the whole family moved to America, but life in a foreign land did not attract the poet at all, and in 1992 he returned to his homeland. The wife did not want to leave the United States and stayed there to live with her son. Despite the fact that the couple had not even seen each other for many years, their official divorce took place only in 2012.
In the dashing 90s, all the poet's savings disappeared, and he had to start everything from scratch. In addition, Ilya Rakhmielevich had big health problems: his blood pressure jumped and arthritis progressed. It was at this difficult time that fate brought him to future wife, athlete Irina Romanova. Their acquaintance took place visiting mutual friends. Despite the age difference of more than 20 years, the future lovers immediately liked each other. The athlete struck the poet with her beauty, erudition, and also her ability to behave in society. They exchanged phone numbers, but their first meeting did not happen immediately. But then events developed rapidly, and soon the couple began to live as one family.

Photo https://www.instagram.com/irinaromanovareznik/ According to Reznik himself, his wife became his guardian angel, sent to him by God for all the many years of suffering. It was with her that he found the long-awaited happiness and did not lose interest in life. Irina took care of his health and taught him a healthy lifestyle. Now the 80-year-old poet can quite boast of his excellent shape, which he acquired thanks to good genetics, as well as maintaining healthy lifestyle life. Spouses have breakfast with cereals, do not drink alcohol and do not smoke. In addition, they swim in the outdoor pool every day. Irina is now the director of the musical theater of her star husband. But they not only cooperate together, but also have a rest, leaving every year on the Crimean coast.
Reznik does not have his own housing, so the couple lives in a rented house, owned by his longtime admirer. Together with them live three dogs and five cats, which compassionate owners picked up and sheltered at home. In 2018, the couple got married, holding this sacrament in the Yalta church.
Ilya Rakhmielevich is a father of many children, since in addition to children from his first and second marriages, he has two illegitimate children: son Evgeny and daughter Elena. Of all his offspring, the poet raised only his eldest son, who stayed with him after his divorce from his first wife. Like the star father, Maxim chose creative way, becoming a journalist and playwright. He writes not only poetry, but also theatrical plays, which have already attracted the attention of many actors and directors. Son Evgeny took up legal activities, and daughter Alice turned out to be an excellent photographer, whose work has already won many international competitions. The poet also has grandchildren, but he rarely communicates with them. In addition, they have no interest in music and poetry. All these years, Reznik did not forget about his son Arthur, who lives with his second wife in America. He still takes care of the younger heir, sending him good money.
Despite his advanced age, the artist is constantly working, finding time both for poetry and for the children's group "Little Country". His wards practice six times a week, learning vocals, hip-hop and choreography. Not so long ago, Ilya Rakhmielevich, in close collaboration with Eduard Khank, wrote the anthem of the National Guard, in addition, he continues to publish poetry and prose, among which is the autobiographical book “My Leningrad Childhood”. A large place in his work is devoted to works for children: fables, fairy tales and poems.
Now the poet is writing prayers for the Russian Orthodox Church. This was prompted by the fact that it is difficult for modern youth to understand the Church Slavonic language. For this important work Reznik was blessed by the Patriarch himself, thanks to which he has already published a book, which includes about a hundred prayers and psalms.
Ilya Rakhmielevich REZNIK. People's Artist of Russia, Honored Artist of the RSFSR, laureate of all-Union and international competitions and festivals, laureate of the National Russian Music Prize "Ovation", academician of the Academy of Social Sciences and the Academy of Security, Defense and Law Enforcement Problems.
All people use words, but only a few are able to weave them into a bizarre pattern that forms one of the most sophisticated phenomena of human culture - poetry.
The life of Ilya Reznik, having begun like that of most of his compatriots, turned in such a way that he turned the “ugly duckling”, the blockade “scumbag”, into “ beautiful swan"- a poet, a man and a citizen of his country, in love with his native language, his people, his homeland.
Blockade childhood, evacuation to the Urals along the Road of Life through Ladoga, the death of his father from wounds in the hospital, his mother's remarriage upon returning from evacuation, her departure to Riga - this is how the life of the future poet began. An abandoned boy is adopted by his father's elderly adoptive parents, essentially strangers, but very kind people. Then the breadwinner-grandfather, who was a wonderful shoemaker and supported the whole family, also dies. Half-starved childhood and youth could not force out the dreams of the theater from Ilya's heart. With the light hand of Irakli Andronikov, who blessed him, although not on the first attempt, in 1958 he entered the Leningrad State Institute of Theater, Music and Cinema.
Since 1965, Reznik has been working in the troupe of the V.F. Komissarzhevskaya. He gets the roles large and small, interesting and not very. The entire period of student life and the first years in the theater is a constant work on the word, writing songs for student and theatrical performances, writing reprises, participating in all theatrical skits. This is a constant search for oneself, dissatisfaction with what has been achieved ...
And then there was the song "Cinderella" (music by I. Tsvetkov) - the first song of Ilya Reznik. Having flown all over the country, she brought the poet all-Union popularity and decided his future fate. In 1972, feeling the strength, vocation and relevance in himself, Ilya Reznik leaves the theater and begins to professionally engage in song poetry.
The motto of his life is the words:
My god is work, menial work. I pray for her, I adore her. I hate idle yawning, I burn from it, like at the stake.
In 1975, the first international success came to Ilya Reznik. He is awarded the Golden Lyre Prize at the Bratislava Lyra song contest (Czechoslovakia) for the song "Apple Trees in Blossom" to the music of E. Martynov performed by the composer. This is the first time a Soviet song has received such a high rating.
Next year - new awards: for the song "Elegy" to the music of V. Feltsman performed by A. Gradsky, the poet was awarded the Silver Lyre Prize, and for the song "Prayer" to the verses of I. Reznik and the music of A. Zhurbin, singer Irina Ponarovskaya is awarded Grand Prix at song contest in Sopot.
So step by step, year after year, the poet rose to the heights of skill and popularity. In the domestic stage there is, perhaps, not a single serious performer whose repertoire would not include songs to the verses of Ilya Reznik. His work is a whole song era of the end of the 20th century. Suffice it to name the main songs that have become super popular: "Cinderella", "Apple Trees in Bloom", "Maestro", "It's Not Evening Yet", "Vintage Clock", "Starry Summer", "Crane", "Charlie", "Edith Piaf" , “Verooka”, “Without me, you, my beloved ...”, “Return”, “Cabriolet”, “Carlson”, “Grandmother next to grandfather”, “Wanderer” ... He stands apart in the creative biography of Ilya Reznik long-term cooperation with Alla Pugacheva. It started in 1979 and continues to this day. In 1980, the poet wrote the author's program "The Singer's Monologues", which brought her deafening popularity. These are “Maestro”, “Old Clock”, “Return”, “Anxious Path”, “Three Happy Days” and other songs. Ilya Reznik was also the author of the script for the film “I Came and I Say” (1984), in which A. Pugacheva starred.
In 1986 began teamwork with composer Raimonds Pauls to create a program for Limes Vaikule. The most popular songs were: "Vernissage", "Not Yet Evening", "Fiddler on the Roof", "Charlie", "I'm praying for you".
In 1984, I. Reznik and composer R. Pauls initiated the annual competitions for young performers in Jurmala.
The song work of Ilya Reznik received well-deserved recognition not only in the country, but also abroad. This, in addition to those mentioned, is evidenced by the awards: "Bronze Lyre" (1977, for the song "Sing, Earth" to the music of A. Kalvarsky performed by A. Troitsky), "Golden Lyre" (1986, for the song "Vernissage" to the music of R. Pauls performed by L. Vaikule), Grand Prix at the International Competition "Orpheus" (1990, for the song "Edith Piaf" performed by T. Gverdtsiteli), National Russian Music Award "Ovation" (1995), Literary Prize named after R. Rozhdestvensky ( 1996) for the best achievements in the field of song poetry, as well as the Russian television award "Golden Star" in California (1996). 25 times the poet became the laureate of the television competition "Song of the Year".
In addition to songs, the poet wrote many poems, several scripts, and plays.
In 1978, on the stage of the Jewish Chamber Musical Theater, the premiere of his mystery opera in Yiddish "Black Bridle - White Mare" (music and production by Y. Sherling) took place.
In 1980, he wrote the script "Olympic Moscow" for the Leningrad Music Hall (directed by I. Rakhlin). In 2001 and 2002, the premiere of the fairy tale-musical "Little Country" was held with great success at the Grand Sports Arena of the Luzhniki Sports Palace.
In 1991, Ilya Reznik created his own theater, the first premiere of which was the musical performance "The Game of Rasputin, or Nostalgia for Russia" at the Rossiya State Central Concert Hall. In 1992-1994, the Ilya Reznik Theater successfully toured the United States.
Back in 1969, the poet's first book for children "Tyapa doesn't want to be a clown" was published in Riga. Poems and fairy tales, funny fables and instructive stories, very musical in rhythm, are filled with gentle humor, love and tenderness for young readers. Moreover, all these works are written in the best traditions of Russian children's classical literature. AT last years 5 books from the “Cuckoo” series were published, as well as the books “Fidget named Luke”, “King Arthur”, “Why are there golden clouds in the blue sky?”, A collection of poems and fairy tales “Here!”.
In the series "Little Country" books " forest tales”, “Cow from Komarovo”, “Colorful alphabet”, “Kasha-Dunyasha”, “Kashalotik-sperm whale”, “The Saga of the Danish Pie”.
Giving an assessment to the work of Ilya Reznik, Sergei Mikhalkov- a classic of children's literature - said: “If I were asked to name the names of poets whose work is organically connected with music and at the same time can exist separately, I would name only three names: Vladimir Vysotsky , Bulat Okudzhava, Ilya Reznik.
