Rubinchik's tomb

Rubinchik on Rubinchik[edit]

I'm sorry about many things. First of all, I had long pauses between the films. I explain this by choosing a topic, a script for too long. I regret that I did not take a film about my post-war childhood, my beloved Minsk. What little worked in the theater. Sometimes I regret that I did not become an actor. In VGIK, I was known as a capable actor and therefore I was invited to all graduate performances of the acting faculty, to all the skits.[7]
