Eleanor Prokhnitskaya differs from other authors of memoirs in that this woman is not afraid of anything. No ridicule, no reproaches. Read any page, and you, too, will be infected by her energy, unusualness, and ability to write with great humor, and sometimes with cynicism, about the most sensitive events of her life and the life of her era. Her husbands were Boris Vladimirov - the famous Avdotya Nikitichna - and the illusionist Emil Kio. She knew Leonid Brezhnev, Yuri Gagarin, and was friends with Galina Brezhneva, Nani Bregvadze, Natalya Durova. If you want to see or remember a different Soviet era—without the gloss of ostentatious autobiographies, without elaborate and tasteless actors' tales—this book is for you. Prokhnitskaya will surprise everyone with her memoirs. In addition, the publication is supplemented with a large number of photographs from the actress’s personal archive, which she did not dare to publish for a long time for obvious reasons.
