«BBC»Figured out what kind of commercial success brought to the author of his religious creations and who will inherit the property of the writer.

The name of Eduard Ouspensky is known in the post-Soviet space to almost everyone - in his works more than one generation of children grew up, who, already serious and adult uncles and aunts, returned to their favorite stories and heroes with equal pleasure. So creatively successful children's writers who gave the world truly cult characters can be counted on the fingers.

Speaking of Ouspensky, it is not so easy to single out his absolutely main work, almost all of them were taken apart in jokes and aphorisms, which are still in use.

However, in a purely commercial sense, certain favorites still exist: this, of course, is about Cheburashka and the heroes from Prostokvashino.

The charming creature with huge ears has become almost a world hit at all - even in Japan, the country that is the clear leader in terms of production of animation, openly admire Comrade Crocodile Genes, dedicating to him entire series. The Japanese themselves, explaining their warm attitude and interest in the character, note that he is very lively and real, and the hero gained the greatest popularity among girls and women older than 30 years, often seeing themselves as lonely and somewhat unhappy in a sad little animal .

Ouspensky once admitted that in the Land of the Rising Sun did not spare the funds for franchise rights - according to some sources, the writer received several million dollars for Cheburashka and his friends, including subsequent deductions. In addition, certain amounts for the fictional eared animal were credited to the author’s account also thanks to the Russian market.

The same applies to his Prostokvashino - according to Eduard Nikolayevich, only for one ice cream production based on the work he received from one company money for a country house (in another interview, Uspensky said that he has four of these, excluding two apartments in Moscow - in Troitsk, Peredelkino, Ruza and near Anapa, and the last of them cost 15 million rubles - 224 thousand dollars). But other products from this franchise have been popular on sale for several years now.

At the same time, the commercial success of the writer is not quite rightly tied up exclusively with his creative talents: being a “techie” by education, Ouspensky, unlike many of his colleagues, managed to perfectly adapt to life after the collapse of the USSR, becoming an ardent fighter against misappropriation of characters in the production of anything It was. Thus, in different years, Eduard Nikolaevich sued a number of organizations, without his consent, used heroes of famous works - even if the proceedings did not always end in his favor.

Actually, the author himself did not change even in the last year of his life, when he was tormented by oncology. The dispute with Soyuzmultfilm, which decided to make a sequel to the story about Uncle Feodor, the cat Matroskin and the dog Sharik, turned out to be particularly loud.

Ouspensky reacted very painfully to the company's desire to start producing a multi-part continuation of the cartoon, stressing that he did not give his consent for the new Prostokvashino - he addressed the creators through the press, urged the actors to leave the project, wrote an open letter to President Vladimir Putin and, finally, appealed to the General Prosecutor’s Office, the Investigation Committee, and the Court of Accounts. In the studio, however, they emphasized that they repeatedly tried to agree on the amount of compensation with the writer (while noting that all rights to the screen version of the animated series “Prostokvashino” belong specifically to “Soyuzmultfilm”), however, they could not come to a general agreement, since Eduard Nikolayevich asked for the cat Matroskin and the company is actually the annual budget of the organization.

As a result, the world side went only in August, as it turned out, just a few days before Ouspensky’s death - between Soyuzmultfilm and the writer a deal was made about using the original scripts “Three from Prostokvashino,“ Vacation in Prostokvashino ” , ten literary stories of the series, not previously filmed, as well as a license to use trademarks with images of characters. The author himself, according to the contract, received royalties.

His second wife Elena (Eduard Nikolayevich was married four times, two of them to Elena, with whom he lived in recent years), their common children Irina and Svetlana, and his daughter from their first marriage Tatiana will claim the inheritance of Uspensky.

The total property of the creator of Cheburashka and Uncle Fyodor (excluding copyright heritage) at the time of his death was estimated at about 150 million rubles (2,24 million dollars). According to the representative of the family Ouspensky, his relatives will be able to ensure a decent use and protection of the writer's heritage, as well as the rights to it.

Recall Edward Nikolaevich Ouspensky died on the evening of August 14. on 81, the year of life from cancer.
