Mikhail Kozakov met Joseph Brodsky in 1972, and this meeting made a «crushing impression» on the actor.
He himself describes the significance of the poet in the fate of his generation in this way: “No one, like Brodsky, expressed our time and the most important thing that it demanded from a person: to be independent and honest.” It is these feelings that permeate Kozakov’s performance of Brodsky’s poems — both textbooks («Letters to a Roman Friend», «Christmas Romance»), and less well-known ones.
