Description

On hearing the name Yuri Nikulin, every one of us is sure to smile - some remember his brilliant clowning at the Moscow Circus on Tsvetnoy Boulevard, others have watched the comedy films he starred in many times over, and still others have read the joke collections he compiled. And yet Nikulin's life was by no means easy. He walked the roads of the Great Patriotic War's front lines, spent many years honing his artistic skill, and struggled against the incomprehension of those who thought his gift for making people laugh was trivial and unnecessary. Yet he stubbornly went his own way, relying on the support of his family, the understanding of friends, and the love of millions of viewers, to whom his good-natured humor instilled optimism and faith in people. The first biography of Yuri Nikulin in the ZhZL (Life of Remarkable People) series, written by the journalist Ieva Pozharskaya, reconstructs the life path of this remarkable performer on the basis of his memoirs, interviews, and the recollections of relatives and close friends.
