Photo: Dmitry DrozdovI live in the Moscow region village of Vnukovo on the streetViktor Gusev. It was named after my grandfather, a poet and playwright who wrote the scripts for the famous films The Swineherd and the Shepherd, At Six O'Clock in the Evening After the War, and the lyrics to the songs Polyushko-Pole and It's Good in the Moscow Expanse. Viktor Mikhailovich died before he was 35, but by that time he had already won the Stalin Prize twice. When the construction of the writers' town began in the 1930s, the Gusev family was given a plot of land there, where a summer cottage typical of that time appeared. The famous actor Igor Ilyinsky lived behind the fence, and Grigory Aleksandrov and Lyubov Orlova, Sergei Obraztsov, and Leonid Utesov lived on the neighboring street. Life was always in full swing here, people visited each other, played tennis and chess. Dad used to organize track and field competitions for the kids on our plot of land. And Ilyinsky, on whose territory there was already a court, didn't spare a part for a common football pitch. Over time, we built a new house next to the old one, in which we can now live all year round.
