Vasily Shukshin. The earthly righteous

Vasily Shukshin is a very special phenomenon for our culture. The film director, actor, screenwriter and writer, Shukshin did a lot so that the Russian man realizes himself and his place in the rapidly changing world.
A book about a great creator, written by a filmman, publicist, honored cultural worker Larisa Yagunkova, is very peculiar and carried out as a symbiosis of filming and journalism. The author uses almost all the traditional genres of journalism: sketch, report, conversation, essay. Personal acquaintance with Shukshin, moreover, working with him for the magazine "Art of Cinema", made it possible to fill the pages with deep content and comprehensively reveal the image of Vasily Makarovich Shukshin, who would have turned 90 this year
