This book is Irina Alexandrovna’s thoughts about life, about art and stories about people close to her: about Lydia Delectorskaya and Svyatoslav Richter, about Marc Chagall and Alexander Tyshler, about Ilya Zilberstein and Boris Messerer. The texts were recorded during the filming of the program “The Fifth Dimension”, which A. V. Mitroshenkov’s television company AVM Media produced at the request of the TV channel “Culture” from 2002 to 2020. The author’s program “The Fifth Dimension” for Irina Alexandrovna became an opportunity to speak directly with viewers about art, and not only about the art and artists of yesteryear, but also about current creators and collectors. The “fifth dimension” became her dimension, the circle in which her huge world was concentrated. Before you are portraits of masters of the 20th century and Irina Alexandrovna’s stories about herself, about her life.
