One-Story America

Once, around the end of the 70s, while rereading "One-Story America" by Ilf and Petrov, I thought: how great it would be to repeat the journey of Ilf and Petrov, but this time for television. This dream seemed completely unrealistic. I knew that I would never be allowed to leave the country... But despite everything, almost 25 years later, it all came true. As Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol wrote, "no matter what anyone says, similar events do occur in the world, — rarely, but they happen." Gogol was right. Right.
