Here is a book of memoirs by Praskovya Alekseevna Bubnova-Rybnikova, actress of the theater named after M.N. Ermolova.

Among the acquaintances, relatives described by Bubnova-Rybnikova, there are many celebrities - actor Mikhail Chekhov, linguist Maria Aleksandrovna Rybnikova, architect Zholtovsky and pianist Vedernikov.
