About the book: 2017 / White snows are falling, as if sliding on a thread... I would live and live in the world, but, probably, it’s impossible... (Evgeny Yevtushenko ) On April 1, 2017, Yevgeny Yevtushenko died, and with him died the era of poetry heard from the stadium stands. The sixties are a special phenomenon in our culture; they were united not only by art, but also by an unbridled love of life, extravagant behavior and reckless actions that went beyond the boundaries. Their personal life was even brighter than their social and cultural life. Yevgeny Yevtushenko became the symbol and face of the era. A contemporary and friend of the poet on the pages of this book talks about creative meetings and friendly gatherings with Yevgeny Yevtushenko, of which he himself was a witness and participant.
