We will live until Monday. Polonsky G.

Georgy Polonsky (1939–2001) is known for the public primarily as a screenwriter who created the literary basis of the famous films “We will live until Monday” (1968), “The key without the right to transfer” (1972) and “Translation from English” (1972, in co -authorship with N. G. Dolinina). The image of Ilya Semenovich Melnikov (in the film “We will live until Monday” he was played by Vyacheslav Tikhonov) became significant for many generations of teachers and students. Melnikov is not a template “exemplary” teacher, but a living person who makes high demands primarily to himself. Yes, it is not easy for him, sometimes he feels ridiculous and wounded, breaks down... But he recognizes both his feelings, doubts, crises, he is honest and has an impeccable moral instinct, he understands where the light is and where the light is and where - dark. There is nothing more important for such a person to be next to a teenager at moments of growing up, when the first lessons teach him life itself...
