I remembered how on my five-year-old we went to the "Children's World" for a gift, my parents wished that I would choose what the soul would like.

Dad proudly led me to the shelf with the dolls and began to praise the doll-in-law, then the doll-stewardess in turn: apparently then began conversations with me about career orientation, about life choices and interests.

I chose a huge insured macaca with a long brown tail and a wooden head, saying:

This is Shurik! He will live with us!



Dad knew it would happen someday, but he hoped there would be 15 years left! He breathed and agreed to Shurika.

Because of the laziness, a person does his job quickly and qualitatively, so as not to rework.

Vladimir Bortko told me.
The movie “The Dog’s Heart” was finished. Preobražensky, of course, was Evstygneev. The beard asked me to let go, it’s not makeup. The money is allocated, the actors are at a low start. But there is no shark! All the files were broken, even Kolya Karatenov asked. Not that.
I say to the assistants, “Do what you want, but I need a dog!”
I went to the studio in the morning. I have the girls: “They came from Alma-Ata! The Tolokonnikov name. A local actress, of course, but look at it at least.”
I open the door to the office and immediately close it. There is a dog in a jacket sitting on the chair.

Jehovah’s Witnesses arrived. The dialogue.
Good day.
Hi to you! We are Jehovah’s Witnesses. God sent us today with good news to you.
Yes, I know, I’ve been waiting for you since morning.
They are looking forward to the continuation with interest.
He sent me a SMS this morning. They will come to you, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and say that it is from me. Tell them, this was a contact check, let them go back.
