Plus or Minus 30: Incredible and True Stories from My Life. Biography of Leonid Yakubovich

"I was born at two o'clock on the 30th of June to the 1st of July. That is, like a true man, I appeared in the house at night." If Leonid Yakubovich is just the permanent host of the show "Field of Miracles" on Channel One or "that very mustached uncle from television, giving away cars" to you, then this book will be a pleasant discovery. After reading his largely autobiographical book, you will learn that Leonid Arkadyevich is a master at getting into ridiculous situations and also a master at skillfully extricating himself from them. Moreover, he is a wonderful storyteller, possesses an amazing sense of humor, and has a great command of language. This updated edition includes new stories from Leonid Arkadyevich, which will tell you the whole truth about what it is like to be Yakubovich. He tells it so easily and directly, as if you were listening to all these stories while sipping tea in the same kitchen with the author. The first flight on a helicopter and intrusive journalists, trips to Chechnya, friendly pranks with Gennady Khazanov, all the successful and completely unsuccessful attempts to find his way — anything can happen in the life of this beloved host, talented actor, and wonderful person.
