Rakitin Illustrations by Boris Zaborov The book by theater artist Eduard Kochergin "Angel's Doll", which became a real sensation in the literary life of both capitals, includes 35 stories, two of which are published for the first time in a book version. The fates of the "humiliated and insulted" of contemporary Russian history, described in the book, formed the basis for the play of the same name by the Tovstonogov BDT. The book is illustrated with reproductions of paintings by Boris Zaborov, one of the most famous contemporary artists whose works are kept in the world's largest museum collections. Specially written for this edition of articles written by literary historian K. M. Azadovsky and the famous art historian V. I. Rakitin. ABOUT THE ARTIST Boris Zaborov is an artist of poetic mirages. In the nebulae of the past there is a special metaphysics of life. It was in the times of "St. Petersburg Mysteries", will be tomorrow in the blind corners of megacities. The entourage changes, but the essence does not change. Zaborov's paintings are not a search for lost time or nostalgia. They are visions and secret meetings. Dreams about reality. Very personal experiences. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Grandfather Janek said that his father and womb were taken away to the Big House. A little boy from a Polish-Russian family sees a deep forest with tall trees, in which stands this incomprehensible house, and in it live brothers and sisters - spies. The boy experiences his first life experience in the images of a terrible magic fairy tale. It is natural, because fairy tales are the memory of all human generations from the era of primitive communal savagery to the happy country of the USSR. Only the boy has not yet realized that the country and the people living in it are initially divided into two categories. For some people, fairy tales are what is told in picture books: harmful Baba Yaga; Alyonushka with her brother Ivanushka, who became a goat after drinking water from his hoof; Tsarevna the Frog, who turned into a beauty.
