Description

Maxim Kapitanovsky is a documentary director and screenwriter of films “Paul McCartney. 73 hours in Russia,” “Blame It All on ‘The Beatles,’” “Time Machine. The Birth of an Era,” and others. He is also a writer, journalist, and a participant in cult groups “Good fellows,” “Let it flow, song!,” the supergroup of the MSU Journalism Faculty “Second Breath,” and he is the drummer of early lineups of the band “Time Machine.” For 12 years he was the sound engineer for “The Machine.” In the book’s foreword, Andrey Makarevich writes: “Max had a lot of diverse strengths. One of them is that he is an excellent storyteller. You know how rarely it happens that in company people ask: ‘Max, tell us about this and that’—knowing the story itself perfectly, but unable to resist the temptation to hear it again.” And this is true—some episodes of the book make you laugh until it hurts.

But it’s not just funny—it’s also very instructive. It talks about how not to lose yourself in the hardest life situations. The audiobook tells about the phenomenon of the band “The Beatles,” its influence on Soviet rock music and pop culture, fashion, and even politics—through the lens of humor, sharp jokes, and Maxim Kapitanovsky’s memories.
