Book: Without make-up. Memories

Raikin's theatre as a specific genre of pop art, is first of all that whatever is said, one Central actor.

Strange was our relationship with the father. If not hidden, almost wordless resistance mom (she managed to shield us, not argue with him), it would be no fun at all.

Last year I came to the student cafeteria and got in line. I turned around and saw that for me it is worth it. She spoke first, and this conversation I remember verbatim. "You go to school here? How beautiful it is!" "Yeah, studying... what are you doing tonight?" - "Nothing..." - "let's Go to the movies?" When we entered the cinema hall, took their seats and the lights went out, I immediately said to her: "marry me..."

Our family had the habit to celebrate birthdays of children. We have almost no toys. We are not photographed (it was considered expensive). However, as I realized later, it's not always depended on the father. At the time of the Civil war and war communism (and it's also my childhood) he was forced on children "want to" reply "want". Anyway, we are accustomed not to ask for anything and wasn't expecting surprises.

Artists, believed he [the father], the majority of tramps, tumbleweed. They are frivolous, unfit for life and because, with rare exceptions, penniless and devoid of a stable position in society. To be a doctor, a lawyer, in the end, the forest tractor is a business, and being an artist is not the case.
