Three dimensions" at 15:35 on Radio Russia! Railing fate with a gun up close Vladimir Khotinenko: "I won't say I gave up on architecture: fate forced me to change the direction of my life. I'm finishing my university studies, there are good offers: graduate school in the Moscow region and even a position as a chief architect in a small town. In general, my career has evolved. But I had some kind of thorn: what I wanted then to build: 16 it was not to build. And I decided that I needed to think about how to continue living - I couldn't think of anything better than serving voluntarily in the army for a year. Some of them were stationed in Sverdlovsk. I got a week's leave, and at that moment Michaelkov arrived. Nikita Sergeevich wanted to meet with creative youth. I was in great demand in the army: I designed red corners, drew portraits for guys and made discharge albums. And so we locked tongues, and the magic phrase was heard: "Maybe you should go into directing? "I said I was an architect by training and shared that I didn't know where to direct my steps next. I told different stories from the army - I have a whole collection of them. He left me his phone number and said: "Well, finish your service, come and call." I served in the convoy forces, and probably in the art world there are only two people with such experience: Dovaltov, who was a watchdog - he stood on a watchtower in the area. And I drove prisoners in a carriage. There were different people in these cells, and you walk down the corridor with a gun up close and pick up stories from their lives, their affairs and their conversations, which are absolutely amazing - both funny and dramatic."
