Culture in a Box. Notes of a Soviet Television Journalist

The writer and scriptwriter of dozens of programs on the «Culture» channel, Tatyana Sergeevna Zemskova communicated with the brightest representatives of the world of cinema and literature during the late Soviet period, whose destinies reflected the bright and tragic events... of the twentieth century. A talented poet, who died young at the hands of a woman, an artist who lost his legs but continued to paint joyful, colorful pictures, a White General who returned to Soviet Russia to his doom, a melancholic actor who played only criminals and drunks, a brilliant choreographer from Russia, after whom one of the streets in New York is named. All these images are created through the language of television. The delicate prose of Tatyana Zemskova, capturing the cultural landscape of a fading era, tells about familiar figures in a new, intimate light.
