The book is about Vladimir Vysotsky. Without gilding and angel wings

MOSCOW. "The editors of Elena Shubina" published a collection of memoirs of friends and colleagues of Vladimir Vysotsky.

The publishing house AST has published a book about Vysotsky, not waiting for his upcoming anniversary, so as not to get lost in the stream of eulogies and memoirs of new best friends. Forty people talk about a colleague, family member, friend, actor, whose equivalent replacement has not happened in all these years. The phrase “Everything is wrong, guys…”, which was made in the title of the collection, could be uttered by each of them. The memoirs of Alexander Mitta, Yuri Lyubimov, Mikhail Shemyakin, Valery Zolotukhin, Ernst Unknown do not merge into a common blessed choir. For people of different professions, of varying degrees of kinship or friendship with the poet, the door to his personal space was far from equally open.

The foreword by Dmitry Bykov also dispensed with angel wings glued with scotch tape, reports about good deeds, and old women transferred across the road. But this does not detract from the significance of Vysotsky-man, poet, artist. Director Alexander Mitta believes that the charm of Vladimir Semenovich in his mature years only became brighter. If you had a chance for a different life scenario, in the domestic cinema the niche of the domestic Jean Gabin, Jack Nicholson, Humphrey Bogart would not be empty. But history does not know the subjunctive mood. Although what he managed to do, another would have been enough for ten lives.
