Description

The mystery of this fragile woman—who drove men mad right up to the last days of her life, who passed the reefs of the Kremlin and Lubyanka and stood firm against all the winds of the cruel 20th century—remained unsolved. She was called the modern Madame Récamier, accused of destroying moral foundations, blamed for Mayakovsky’s death. Some adored her, others despised and hated her. On her 85th birthday, Yves Saint Laurent created a special dress for her, and a young French novelist confessed his love to her.

This book tells about one of the most magical women of the passing century.
