Cartoonist, founder of the club «Petrovich» about his life credo. Easy, with humor and knowledge of the matter.
“I really love this phrase. It was said by the hero of the Soviet film «Hello, it’s me,» brilliantly played by Rolan Bykov. A film about physicists who love their profession. About romantics. Bykov’s hero has cancer. He knows this, but is full of optimism and love for life. I would say that he is greedy for life. It’s funny that this phrase is very masculine. in terms of its physiology. Therefore, this phrase is also very close to me. However, women can also use this phrase. In their mouths, it will sound especially bold. There is no pathos in it, no pseudo-philosophy, zaumi. She may seem rude to some. And this is also its beauty. Roughness and lightness is a very important combination for me. I live by this principle. All life. I pee against the wind and try not to be afraid of splashes. Sometimes splashes, of course, reach. Not scary. The main thing is to do what you think is right, when you are sure of it, and not think about the consequences. Try it, it’s easy. You will enjoy.»
The phrase of Oleg Ponomarev, the protagonist of the film «Hello, it’s me», filmed by director Frunze Dovlatyan based on the script by Arnold Aghababov at the Armenfilm studio in 1965.
