“We need to convince a man that he is wonderful or even brilliant, but that others do not understand this. And allow him what is not allowed at home. For example, smoke or travel wherever you want. Well, good shoes and silk underwear will do the rest.” (Lilya Brik) The mystery of this woman, who drove men crazy until the last days of her life, remained unsolved. She was called a modern Madame Recamier, considered a destroyer of moral principles, and blamed for the death of Mayakovsky. Some idolized her, others despised and hated her. For her 85th birthday, Yves Saint Laurent created a special dress for her, and the young French novelist declared his love. This book tells about one of the most magical women of the twentieth century. Vladimir Dyadichev in conversation with Viktor Kozhemyako (“The Death and Immortality of Vladimir Mayakovsky.
