[06:12 - 07:05] Yura's Legacy: Beyond Politics, a Cultural and Philosophical Figure

Because if you say in one word who he was, this Yury Petrovich Shchekochikhin, what all of this is, because he had both theater and cinema. The cult film of the 90s 'My Name is Harlequin' was written based on Yura's script. That is, it was also an important thing to actualize one's capabilities in the media that come to the forefront. This was theater in the eighties, then a little bit of cinema. But then cinema collapsed, although almost right before his death, the director of the film 'My Name is Harlequin' came to visit Yura. I forgot his last name; he was already living somewhere near Minsk. This was literally about a week before Yura's difficult, this difficult condition, which was so unlike an illness.
