Faina Ranevskaya. A great actress and scandalous person, a caustic lady with sparkling humor and a philosopher with a cigar in his teeth... She was feared and idolized, sought meetings with her, and was shunned. It was too scary to be in the place of a man sewn on the needle of her aphoristic resolutions. For 88 years of his creative life, Faina Ranevskaya said a lot of interesting, funny, subtle, sincere. Yoe aphorisms, jokes, anecdotes and everyday stories are relevant to this day.
