At the V Tsiolkovsky International Space Film Festival, a creative meeting was held with jury member and People's Artist of Russia, Leonid Yakubovich. Although Yakubovich had also met with the audience last year, the residents of Kaluga once again filled the large hall to capacity - both adults and children attended. Many attendees mentioned that they had also been present at last year’s event.
“Ask me anything -I will answer all your questions. No secrets,” said Yakubovich. “And afterward, I will sign my books for you and leave you to enjoy a film that is very dear to my heart. I wrote the script and played the lead role, though you won’t recognize me in it. It’s a kindhearted film, and I am pleased to finally share it with you.” The film in question is The Grandfather of My Dreams, a family comedy directed by Alexander Strizhenov.
Leonid Arkadyevich sincerely answered all questions, gifting copies of his new poetry collection, The Day of Everything in the World, published in 2024 by Eksmo, to those who wished. The queue of people eager to get an autograph, take a photo with the beloved public figure, shake his hand, and express their admiration stretched far.
