Alexander Kabakov (1943-2020) — novelist, journalist, playwright; author of the family novel “Everything is fixable”, the sensational dystopia “The Non-Returnee", the elegant “The Fugitive" and others.“Luggage room" — memories of the things of my life. The entire second half of the twentieth century and a good part of the twenty-first century have been preserved in these objects. I think they can say as much about time as people can.…I firmly believe that the characters' clothes and small accessories are no less important than their portraits, everyday habits, and even social status. “Broad Bolivar“ and ”wide-awake breguet" Onegin, Navarinsky's “tailcoat of smoke with flame” and Chichikov's cleverly twisted tie, Oblomov's robe, Aksenov's “Jordanian trousers” and Trifonov's lendl leather jacket — all this flea market, a list of brands and trends is the literary flesh of these heroes ...
