"Key to Bender" by Alexander Rovny

Odessa is a city where everything is mixed: sea, steppe, tastes, languages, nations. A city in which a variety of talents were born in a strange way. And the first among equals, we will name two Odessa satirical writers - Ilya Ilf and Evgeny Petrov. But literary harmony will be achieved only if we sing the trinity - we add to the tour their child and equal, the protagonist of their novels "12 Chairs" and "The Golden Calf", "the great combinator" - Ostap Bender. Here "for three" here and we will think! Quotes by Ostap Bender and other characters in the novels of Ilya Ilf and Yevgeny Petrov have long become aphorisms, and have become a real classic: "Load oranges in barrels", "A car is not a luxury, but a means of transportation!", "Abroad will help us!", "Maybe , should I give you another key to the apartment, where is the money? "... On the author's excursion, Alexander Rovny, we propose to find the key - to the history of the birth and life of Ostap Bender and his literary parents. Moreover, we will not only listen, but also meet the heroes of great works   Date and time: June 26 at 16:00  Duration: 2.5 hours  Type: pedestrian  Place of collection: Cathedral Square (entrance to the Transfiguration Cathedral)  Cost: 270 UAH Children under 12 years old - 170 UAH.
