Not a Life, but a Fairy Tale

What can the first editor-in-chief of Russian Vogue, the Russian Interview, the legendary Moscow beauty and femme fatale tell us? About how she chose perfumes and a white grand piano? About how princes sang serenades and made gifts? The daughter of the famous surgeon S. Ya. Doletsky, the granddaughter of the first director of TASS Ya. G. Doletsky, has been and remains a person who relates to life with deep irony and piercing sincerity. Stars and humble people, close friends and bitter enemies, geniuses and villains, real men and wimps, historical figures and charlatans – all of them are heroes of Alena Doletskaya's new book, who has decided to be candidly open with her readers.
