Description

This isn’t just an audiobook—it’s a real hit of dramatic reading! Both the author and the work itself are well known to the reading public and don’t need any special advertising. Just think of the dozens of film scripts written by Vladimir Kunin: for example, “The Chronicle of a Diving Bomber,” “The Intergirl,” more than five books, including “Mika and Alfred,” “Night with an Angel,” the series of books about KYSYA, and much, much more. “Ivanov and Rabinovich” is an audiobook hit read by another equally well-known person—singer, actor, and popular TV host Nikolai Fomenko. The project launched despite the author’s busy schedule—he has been living and working in Germany for years—and despite the actor’s extraordinary demand. Mr. Kunin visited the publisher’s studio in Moscow and was present during the creative process of the recording. Nikolai Fomenko took a big interest in the fresh idea and devoted all his free time, beyond his main creative work, to recording the audiobook version of the novel.

The story of two friends with characteristic surnames—Ivanov and Rabinovich—is not just a biting and incredibly funny parody of our recent past. Vladimir Kunin’s well-known story turned out to be an excellent material for introducing the world to yet another Fomenko.
