Yuri Vladimirovich Nikulin... People laughed at his circus reprises (and among them “Pump”, “Horses”, “Log”, “Roses and Thorns”), admired the amazingly played roles in the films “Prisoner of the Caucasus ...”, “Dog Barbos and unusual cross", "Moonshiners", "The Diamond Arm", "Old Robbers" (the list can be endless), they quoted his witty phrases from them, went to the famous circus on Tsvetnoy Boulevard... He was the idol of millions. This book is touching and very detailed letters from the artist to his mother, Lydia Nikolaevna, which are being published for the first time. Their geography is vast - America, Canada, Australia, France and other countries - in each, Yu. Nikulin recalled home and relatives, which gave him gave me strength and inspiration. Serious, slightly ironic, moderately tender, and sometimes biting, these letters, like links of one chain, are strung on each other, telling what they thought, what they felt, where they were and what everyone’s favorite artist Yuri Nikulin did in his “golden years.” ".
