Eduard Nikolayevich Uspensky (Эдуард Николаевич Успенский; 22 December 1937 – 14 August 2018) was a Soviet and Russian children's writer and poet, author of over 70 books, as well as a playwright, screenwriter and TV presenter.

His works have been translated into 25 languages and spawned around 60 cartoon adaptations.

Among the characters he created are Cheburashka and Gena the Crocodile, Uncle Fyodor and Kolobki brothers.

1941

In 1941 with the start of the war the family was evacuated to Siberia where they spent two years.

They returned to Moscow later on.

After graduating as an engineer, Uspensky earned his living by writing and producing animations.

Besides writing and producing, Uspensky has enjoyed a professional role as a long-lasting figure in radio and television.

He was among the founders of the longest-running Russian children's TV show Good Night, Little Ones! and the popular radio program Radio Nanny produced with the aim of featuring songs and humorous dialogue as integral elements of an educational radio program explaining concepts in grammar, mathematics, scientific subjects, and courteous behavior to children.

1974

Uspensky's first book about Uncle Fyodor, Uncle Fedya, His Dog, and His Cat, was first published in Russian in 1974.

The main character is a six-year-old boy who is referred to as 'Uncle Fyodor' because he appears serious-minded, self-reliant and responsible.

After his parents don't let him keep Matroskin, a talking cat, Uncle Fyodor leaves his home.

With the dog Sharik, the three set up a home in the country, a village called Prostokvashino (Простоквашино, from the Russian for buttermilk, простоквашa).

After finding a treasure, Uncle Fyodor can afford to buy a tractor that runs on soup and potatoes, and a portable sun to do the heating during the winter.

The book was made into a successful animated film, Three from Prostokvashino (and its two sequels).

Uspensky continued with Uncle Fyodor in other books, which have not, however, been as successful.

Uspensky published other books with human-like animal characters.

1991

From 1991 to 2016 he hosted the musical TV and radio talk show Ships Used to Enter Our Harbour where he and his guests recollected the so-called street folklore, which included Russian chanson and blatnaya pesnya.

The songs were performed by both professional and amateur singers, politicians, actors and people of various occupations.

In addition to children's books, Uspensky's creative output also includes plays and poems.
