Having worked for many years on the biography and work of Leonov, he talks about the pivotal moments of his life, tries to present all the facets of this mysterious personality and to answer the question: why in recent years are the ideas of Leonid Leonov so relevant and why the writer himself is called a visionary, even a prophet?
