The book “Walking with Andrei Tolubeev” tells not only about the outstanding actor of the St. Petersburg Bolshoi Drama Theater, although he is its main character. The author, the famous St. Petersburg writer Mikhail Konstantinovich Zarubin, in his new work raises complex and painful issues of urban construction: much in the surrounding urban space does not suit him. Andrei Tolubeev thought so too. The author and his hero were concerned about the same problems, they discussed them passionately and interestedly, speaking in a variety of audiences.
