We all love the films of the outstanding film director and actor Leonid Gaidai. Enjoying fabulous popularity in the 60-80s of the last century, they still do not lose their relevance and in the darkest everyday life of our reality they are able to charge us with optimism and hope for the best. “Operation “Y”, “Prisoner of the Caucasus”, “The Diamond Arm”, “Business People”, “12 Chairs”, “It Can’t Be!”, “Ivan Vasilyevich Changes Profession”, “Private Detective, or Operation “Cooperation”, “The weather is good on Debasovskaya, or It’s raining again on Brighton Beach” we are ready to watch as many times as we like; the apt phrases of the characters in Gaidaev’s comedies have long since come into use and become catchphrases. The paintings of the famous comedian are a whole world, still living with popular love. The book by the famous biographer Fyodor Razzakov is a gift to all fans of the director’s work, and therefore of real film comedy.
