In the year, after a long break, the playwright presented to the audience the production “between the case”, and also recorded a new album “Man” with the Bigudi group. Later he had brother Alexei.

Parents were students when their firstborn was born, but they themselves raised their son, trying not to rely on grandparents. Evgeny Grishkovets with his parents, all the more so since the grandfather on the paternal line, Boris Vasilievich, was the director of the school, and the grandmother, Sofya Aronovna, worked there as a biology teacher. There was little time for care for the grandson.

When Valery was going to go to graduate school of the Leningrad State Economic University, it was decided that his wife and his son would move with him. The boy missed the native city, the first friends, the usual way of life. Evgeny Grishkovets with his father and grandfather in Leningrad, a first -grader from Siberia realized that he was not like other students: he was unbearably difficult to fit into the standards and perform written tasks.

Much later, it turned out that Eugene Dyslexia, and then the strict teacher ruthlessly put the boy to the boy for the slowest spelling with a large number of errors. Neither beautiful handwriting, nor a good memory and the ability to retell what they read was softened by the teacher’s attitude to the “lazy” wife. The boy was incredibly glad when the family returned home.

Nevertheless, Leningrad also remained in his memory a bright memory, because there he spent several years there. Evgeny Grishkovets in childhood in Kemerovo from a nine -year -old student “from Leningrad itself” expected excellent results, and he did not even know how to read and again became “special”. He was lucky: the new teacher was more compassionate than Leningrad.

Much later, in an interview, the Grishkovets recalled his school years: in Kemerovo, I needed to go to school from the outskirts on a bus full of huge men, and workers of the plant. I was clamped there, small, these five stops. And I fell asleep standing. I bought a ticket, always counted the numbers - suddenly happy? If so, eaten. He drove to the stop, walked past the Young Technician store, where a robot stood in the illuminated window, near which I stopped.
