Eldar Ryazanov. First meeting - last meeting

Just like in the movies, you might think, but this doesn’t happen in real life.
It happens. All these incredible, fantastical, and sometimes adventurous stories told by Eldar Ryazanov actually happened. All these people—bright, courageous, incredibly gifted, and incredibly beautiful—existed, and some, fortunately, still do. Their bizarre fates are more interesting than any fictional detective story. Eldar Ryazanov met many of them or their loved ones in France while preparing a series of programs for REN-TV. This book is based on their stories.
The author doesn't just love—he adores and admires his characters. There's no doubt this feeling will rub off on you.
