At the Club writers in the capital of the WSC, where at one time often
played Christmas eve again sounded familiar and unknown to a wide
the public line, as well as popular songs based on the poems. Maxim Averin
who led the evening, had to go to adjust the script, writing there all
new and new the names of famous family friends of Robert Ivanovich.

For example, Alexei Vorobyov came to TSDL straight from the airport. Moreover, in the very moment when
the screen showed photos from the family archive of Robert Rozhdestvensky and Alla
Kireeva, and the music sounded song Vorobyov “Whether,
please weaker” based on the poems.

Interesting episode associated with this cult for
all creative people — room on Bolshaya Nikitskaya, where was held the evening of memory,
told a close friend Rozhdestvensky, poet Andrey Dementyev. Once a day
the opening of the season in the Central House of writers, in which were
to make Robert I., Bulat Okudzhava, Andrei Voznesensky, Yunna Moritz happened
a rather strange incident.

“We were on the floor below, at the meeting of the Union of writers,
when we were told that on this very scene broke, an absolutely naked man, —
remember Dementiev. — It is clear that there was an awkward silence. Robert suggested
I check to see if this is a hoax. No, really, with a huge crowd
people in the audience on the stage was a naked man at whose feet
the standing portfolio, apparently with the manuscripts, and lower back in lipstick was written
“SP SSSR”, which meant the Union of writers. This man, of course, took
the police, but we then had to go out and perform. Need
to pay tribute to the sense of humor of Robert Rozhdestvensky. He apologized to
the audience that we came to him “slightly dressed” and first invited on stage
Okudzhava, that he sang and took the pressure off”.
