“Zhvanetsky, who himself graduated from the Odessa Institute of Naval Engineers, and was a mechanical engineer by profession, with his experience, his figure personified that famous era when physicists were held in high esteem and lyricists were in the pen,” Zaslavsky said.
He noted that now, repeating some funny phrases, we do not always guess that "in fact, these words have a great author, and this is Mikhail Zhvanetsky."
“We can say that he lived a happy life, he always knew that he was loved, no matter what he wrote.
I am also happy because whatever he wrote until almost the very last day, it was wonderful.
There was no such moment of emasculation ... When he went out with his briefcase, he took out the sheets: there were handwritten or typed texts, it seemed that he was writing all of them completely.
It was a feeling of lightness and instantaneousness of the amazing aphorisms that were born, ”concluded Zaslavsky.
Actor and TV presenter Alexander Oleshko also commented on the message about the death of the writer and called Zhvanetsky a man of immense talent and incredible intelligence.
Zhvanetsky died at the age of 87.
