The name of Lily Brik - Mayakovsky's muse, adherent of free love, dandy and lover of talent, sister of the writer Elsa Triolet and favorite photo model of the founder of constructivism Alexander Rodchenko - still excites minds. She is credited with merit and accused of atrocities. It is inseparable from high poetry and yellow gossip, from the Russian avant-garde and foreign chic. People fell madly in love with her and passionately hated her, she saved people from prison and drove them into hysterics. Why were the great futurist Mayakovsky and the red commander Primakov, directors Lev Kuleshov and Sergei Parajanov, poet Andrei Voznesensky, composer Rodion Shchedrin and ballerina Maya Plisetskaya drawn to her? How did this not very beautiful woman manage to take men away from their families while maintaining friendship with their wives and children? What connects her with the security officers and how did she manage to survive the Luciferian age? Her biography is a story about the somersaults of our history and art, about the Soviet and the bourgeois, about Stalin and Khrushchev, about death and sex. Alisa Ganieva's book immerses the reader in the world of passions, poetry, suppressed complexes and mysterious magic called “Lilya Brik.”
