Talyzina isn’t just a talented actress—she’s a talented person: vivid, honest, and very principled. Her life is like Gogol’s laughter through tears. There were many losses in it and many victories. Talyzina is inexhaustible. And it was clear: she had to write a book, because she has something to tell. She did it honestly, with talent, and without mercy. Talyzina is an actress. And that says it all.
