Русский Винни Пух Русские читатели познакомились с Винни Пухом благодаря детскому писателю Борису Заходеру.
Кто ты, Борис Заходер? Борис Заходер родился в городе Кагуле. В 1947 Борис окончил Литературный институт. Он написал много книг, и его любовь к животным постоянно отражалась в его произведениях.
Кроме «родных» есть у Бориса Владимировича и «иностранные» книжки.С его помощью «англичанин» Винни Пух и многие другие «изучили» русский язык. Заходер не перевел все эти книги, он их пересказал или, вернее, как выразился один поэт, «написал их по-русски».
А художник Эдуард Васильевич Назаров оживил его персонажей.
Благодаря таланту Б.В. Заходера и Э.В. Назарова,Винни Пух стал любимым героем многих поколений нашего народа.
