Engelina Borisovna Tareeva is one of the most famous Russian bloggers, the oldest “thousander” of LiveJournal. She is 84 years old. She was born in Kyiv, at the age of 16 she was a tractor driver in a Kazakh steppe village in evacuation, she studied at the philological faculty of Moscow State University, worked in the journal Voprosy Literatury, knew well-known sixties and even a sixties woman herself. Most of Tareeva's nearly five thousand readers are young people. Paradox?

Eduard Sagalaev flew to London to sit with Makarevich in the back garden of the studio and talk about life. About why beer cannot be mixed with vodka, but with whiskey. About why Makarevich started writing books and almost stopped diving. About how Makarevich gave his first autograph, and about how a samurai should live. About the love of life and the fear of death.
