The main reason why this collection was published is what Professor V.Yu. Muravyov promised to write a book about himself and people close to him. During his lifetime, the Doctor did not have time for this. In the interviews and newspaper notes that you will find in this collection, you can trace how the bard's song lived and how it changed, how medicine in general and endoscopy in particular developed in Kazan and Tatarstan. How the doctor and bard Vladimir Yuryevich Muravyov grew up before the eyes of the Soviet public, gradually turning from a youth with three chords on a seven-string into a significant figure in the bard movement, and from a student at a medical institute into a professor and “people's doctor.”
