Wanderers and Aliens

Under this cover, foreigners have gathered. Some by passport, some by spirit, and some simply too bright for this world. Meryl Streep and Mikhail Baryshnikov, Alla Pugacheva and Jean Cocteau, Vera Polozkova and Greta Garbo. And also Audrey Hepburn, Margarita Terekhova, Andrey Danilko, Renata Litvinova...

They are united by one thing: they are "not like that", they "did not fit in" — and therefore created their own. Their own cinema, their own ballet, their own theater... Their own culture.

Journalist, critic, essayist, editor-in-chief of the magazine "Winter" Sergey Nikolaevich does not just talk about celebrities — he deciphers them. With almost intimate precision, yet elegantly and aesthetically.

Alla Pugacheva, an icon who has always been and remained "inconvenient"; Renata Litvinova, who turned her strangeness into art; Dmitry Krymov, a philosopher-director running from clichés; Sophia Loren, who conquered time, age, and prejudices... Yes, they are foreigners. Foreigners everywhere.
