Once a young poet Andrei Voznesensky demanded: "Put Lenin with money!" Stately Leninists from such heresy numb, the Bank has encouraged the author to answer. Times will change, and for the same lines of a poet accused of "complicity with the regime." "Get the hell out of the country!" — rumbled in his address, Khrushchev. The poet is not "removed". Years later the descendants of Khrushchev will come to him from the U.S. for a famous photograph of the leader threatens anathema to the poet. Ascension has lived for 77 years (1933-2010), and his fate is forever intertwined with the fate of the country, where for some it is too "Westerner", for others — too "patriot". Fellow peers will argue for the title of "student" Pasternak, but only the assumption he wrote: "glad I lived up to Your first success." The famous four poets of the sixties, collecting stadiums of fans, overgrown mythology, but the questions remained. Voznesensky and Yevtushenko were friends or foes? What they found in the young poet Voznesensky Aragon and the artist Picasso, existentialist Sartre and hipster Ginsberg, philosopher Heidegger and playwright Miller? Why in ascension doted Chairman of Belarusian farm comrade Bedulev... and Jacqueline Kennedy? Is it true that Brodsky not only railed about it, but invited to her place for coffee and discuss your favorite cats? Why the assumption was not given the Nobel prize, but was going?.. Igor Verbov, philologist and journalist, with the excitement of a detective investigates in the book, these and other equally important and sensational topics. Memories share composer Shchedrin, actor Smekhov, writer Gladilin, poets Suleimenov, Kublanovskaya, Cedars, sister of film Director M. Tarkovskaya, the Muse of the poet oz and the other musicki, the poet's daughter Arina... About Andrei Voznesensky everything is known and nothing is known about him. Let's try to meet again with ascension!
