About the book: 2010 / The name of Lyudmila Zykina is known to everyone, young and old. It is not without reason that they say that Zykina’s voice is the voice of Russia itself. But only those close to her knew what she was like in life, how she could behave in this or that everyday situation. And how doubts, mistrust and quirks were sometimes hidden behind the external equanimity and calmness. And there were reasons for that - for her kindness, Lyudmila Georgievna more than once suffered from deception and all sorts of adventures. This book about the great singer, for whom people’s love does not dry up, was written by her press secretary, who was nearby for a quarter of a century. The result of personal impressions and observations, it was collected bit by bit - lines from diaries, from recordings of conversations, meetings and represents completely exclusive material.
