Vladimir Weisberg. Portrait of Alexander Ginzburg with plaster cast. 1960?

Alik Ginzburg was born in 1936, this portrait of him in 1924 about.
Once we sat down with him in the kitchen in the "Russian Thought" (where both worked), and he indulged in some of memories.
And remember, as a young man in a drunken state had fallen out of fifth-floor window and broke his arm.
- That's all, Alexander Ilyich?
- Yes, Tolia, that's all.
- It is only possible so drunk, and even then, probably not to everyone so lucky, how lucky you ...
And in this period and was written by this portrait.
He was a good artist Vladimir Weisberg in 1950-1960-ies.

=======================
Needless to add, that at the time of the story Alexander Ilyich no longer consumed alcohol.
The newspaper "Russian idea" was then at Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honore, and I wrote an epigram:
Aleksandr Ilich Ginzburg,
He sits on the Rue Foburg.
He sits on Honore
He was silent and did not Ore.

- What is not an aura "- is exactly - Alec smiled.

And more. On the day of deposit rates revised allocated denyuzhku, and someone went for groceries. Alec sometimes came into the kitchen and started cutting the cucumber, tomatoes and so on.

From the kitchen pulls cucumber -
So Ginsburg hero.

This meant that he finished his story.

He wrote always ballpoint pen, a typewriter or a computer could not write and did not want to learn.

I typed the text.

Looked directory McDougall, as always a lot of fun and controversial, especially the ratio of "money". A Voloshin № 512 and 513 is definitely not worth buying.
