The Little Greats
Igor Obolensky — journalist, writer, TV host, author of the documentary series "Place of Genius".
"Each of the heroes of the book has accomplished and continues to accomplish great deeds. Without aiming to be recognized for them. Through meetings with them,... the destinies and places of geniuses opened differently. For me, St. Petersburg is the Moika Street and house 12, where Pushkin lived and met eternity, and his caretaker Galina Sedova. Yerevan — the museum of Sergey Parajanov and its creator Zaven Sargsyan. Tarusa — the homes of Paustovsky and Akhmatova and their guardians Galina Arbusova and Elena Klimova. Kislovodsk — mansions saved thanks to Boris Rozenfeld. Peredelkino — the dacha of Andrei Voznesensky and Zoya Boguslavskaya. Tashkent — Malika Kayumov, participant in the opening of the tomb of Tamerlane. Moscow — the addresses of Bulgakov and his main biographer Marietta Chudakova, Mayakovsky and Alexander Ushakov, Svyatoslav Richter and his close friend Vera Prokhorova, the apartment of the Messerers-Plisetskys on Tverskaya and the mansion designed by Shekhtel, where Gorky and his granddaughter Marfa Peshkova lived..." (Igor Obolensky).
