Dancing on the Ice of Life. 'I Know Everything About Love...'

For the first time, an intriguing and candid autobiography by the famous figure skater, Olympic champion, and showman Alexander Zhulin (“Ice Age,” champion in pair dances on ice). Honest and humorous reflections about himself, sport, romantic adventures, his three wives (Usova, Navka, Mikhailova), meetings with world-famous celebrities and legends, and the nature of his fantastic success in life and career! Alexander Zhulin is the World and Europe champion and champion of the USSR, an Olympic medalist in pair skating, a favorite of the public—charming and strong. He has realized himself as an athlete, coach, key participant, and creative director of outstanding performances that bring TV shows soaring in the ratings. The famous skater invites readers, for the first time, on an exciting journey into the world of figure skating—and into his life full of dramatic twists.

With humor and warmth, Alexander Zhulin shares dramatic—even tragic—stories. About sport—from his first childhood steps to stunning world successes at championships and Olympics. About his three weddings with charming figure skaters: Maya Usova, Tatyana Navka, and Natalya Mikhailova. About dear loved ones, friends, colleagues, coworkers, trainers. About staging popular TV shows “Stars on Ice” and “Ice Age.” From these vivid stories emerges a portrait of an extraordinary, energetic, and creative person who knows how to captivate millions with his art and achievements.

“Alexander Zhulin is an incredibly talented, interesting, and multifaceted person. Before readers will unfold a whole world on and off the rink, full of intriguing relationships, victories and setbacks, overcoming obstacles, and constant self-improvement.”

“I love waiting for his new programs. I love watching them and noticing something new. I love his work, based on creative and technical mastery, and I believe in it. I love seeing how he evaluates his own works, and I’m sure I’ll love his book, which he has been working on his entire life. With respect to Sasha Zhulin.”

“Sasha is a brilliant skater, and the versatility and openness of whose talent makes him outstanding. This book is an exciting journey into the world of figure skating alongside one of those who transforms sport into real art!”

“Every time Sasha gave me the chance to read what he had written, I’d manage to cry my eyes out, smearing mascara on my face, and then—within a couple of moments—scare everyone at home with my laughter. The change of emotions happened literally while reading a single paragraph. Anyone who knows Sasha closely will understand what I mean. Any story he can complement with such details that you could stand on ceremony—or even fall (it’s better to fall right away). Humor is his thing. Back then, joking around, he won my heart—and I still can’t come to terms with the laughter.”
