The name of Lyudmila Zykina is known to everyone from small to large. No wonder they say that Zykina's voice is the voice of Russia itself. But only relatives knew what she was in life, how she could behave in a particular everyday situation. And how sometimes doubts, distrust and quirks were hidden behind external equanimity and calmness. And there were reasons for that - for her kindness Lyudmila Georgievna more than once suffered from deceptions and all kinds of adventures. This book about the great singer, for whom popular love does not dry up, was written by her press secretary, who has been around for a quarter of a century. The result of personal impressions and observations, she collected bit by bit - lines from diaries, from recordings of conversations, meetings and is a completely exclusive material.
