Georgy Mikhailovich Sadovnikov (b. 1932), a famous writer and screenwriter, does not consider himself a humorist, but jokes and irony, interest in “strange” people are his main artistic weapons. This is what unites the stories included in this book. Among them is the story “I’m Going to the People”, on which the popular four-part television film “Big Change” was shot, supplemented by new episodes that were not included in the series. The story “Kolobok named Fayansov” tells about the life of a type designer who does not have any particular talent, a modern “man in a case”, who is extremely cautious in everything and therefore has given up personal happiness. The story “Thriller and Killer” tells about a young and not very experienced opera Telkov, who, thanks to his innocence, managed to save the post office from a raid by robbers.
