The values that are being promoted today and to which many aspire - money, career and material well-being - are very small compared to what a person is

THERE ARE NO SUCH SITUATIONS WHEN A CHILD CAN BE STRIKED. Yes, it is known that Pushkin bullied his children, but then it was considered the norm.

IT'S AMAZING: in 1994 I published the book “Communicate with a Child. How?”, And for 20 years now it has been published continuously. Best-seller! But this, of course, I did not expect. No author, I think, can expect his book to stay on the market for 20 years. Leo Tolstoy probably did not expect it either.

EARLIER RUSSIAN PEOPLE CONFUSED PSYCHOLOGISTS WITH PSYCHIATRES and therefore did not go to a psychologist. Many people said: “Am I crazy? I will not go! And until now, children are afraid. They think that a madman is being taken to a psychologist.

MIZULINA'S PAINFUL DESIRE TO CARE OF THE CHILD - this is not at all caring for children, but using children in their own interests. After all, children are the most sensitive place in society.

I HAVE A GREAT OFFENSE AGAINST THE JOURNALISTS. You take a newspaper and read the headline: Child Abuse. Then you read the content, and it turns out that the speech is not about violence, but about corruption. But corruption and violence are completely different things and different crimes. People began to use words very lightly and stopped taking them seriously, which makes it very difficult to find the truth.

WHEN VASILIEVA WAS RELEASED FROM PRISON and on the same day Sentsov was sentenced to 20 years, someone wrote that it was a slap in the face to society. And now they gave you a slap in the face, what will you do? For example, I will read Plato - just so as not to get bogged down in negative emotions. I have to heal myself. How? Culture.

THE POWER IS AFRAID OF HIGH CULTURE TODAY. Because culture is about caring for a person, and the authorities do not want to take care of a person. She takes care of her direct interests.

MY FATHER BECAME AN ADULT BEFORE THE REVOLUTION. He said: “I feel sick when they say“the feeling of a fellowship”. He wanted to be on his own, independent. But he didn't teach me how to live. He limited himself to the phrase "you are a fool, you are a fool."

ANY SHAME MEMORY? When I was over sixty years old, I went to get a French visa. It was March, the snow was melting, a large snowdrift had been cleared on the side of the road. I walk and suddenly I hear a sharp sound, and the next second a car knocks me down with a blow to the side, and I fly into a snowdrift. A man ran out of the car, but I quickly jumped up and immediately kicked him in the face. He looked very intelligent. He raised his glasses and anxiously asks me: "How are you?" And then I felt very ashamed! I say: “Nothing, only my side hurts a little,” I turned and walked away. He got into the car and the car drove into the embassy gate. I walk past the police and ask: "Who is this?" "This is the French consul." Later, when I received a visa and I was invited inside, I only thought about how to make sure that he did not recognize me. But in vain. He comes out with my passport and asks if I have any complaints about him - a polite and thin intellectual with glasses, who was kicked in the face by a rude Russian woman. But the documents say that I am a professor and I am sixty-something years old.

I GOT MY EARS IN FIFTY. And then - when I flew to America with a landing in Canada - I bought my first earrings. Before that, I only wore clips.

I KNOW LITTLE ABOUT ETIQUETTE and I do not watch how others observe it. Coughing, spitting and throwing dirt is unpleasant. Whether it is necessary to put aside the little finger or not - I do not know this, and I do not care.

I DO NOT FEEL THE SMELL OF SWEAT. He is even close to me in a sense, because sweat is either work or sport. The one who mows the grass smells of sweat, but I will never recoil from that smell. There is something familiar in him - in a psychological and moral sense.

THE VALUES THAT PROMOTE TODAY and to which many aspire - money, career and material well-being - are very small compared to what a person is.

DON'T THINK AFTER DEATH SOMETHING HAPPENS TO A PERSON. The most interesting thing is how he continues to exist among living people. After all, after death, each of us continues to live in many forms, in different forms and in different people. Lotman said that books get smarter with age; the book I have read is on the shelf, but I continue to live, and with my age this book grows smarter. The same is true for a person who has passed away.

A YEAR AGO I HAS BEEN GIVEN A DIAGNOSIS - CANCER. We flew to New York, I underwent surgery, then there was chemotherapy. For nine months I fought for life. The doctors initially said that I would not survive and gave me three months. And then they said: "You are amazing" - when on the fifth or sixth day after the operation I was discharged, and I immediately went to a Chinese restaurant.

THERE IS NO SUCH QUESTION FOR ME - HOW WOULD I LIKE TO LIVE. In science, they sometimes say: the wrong question. So, this is an incorrectly posed question. I think one should ask not “how much”, but “how”.

THE PERFECT LIFE FORMULA IS DIFFERENT FOR EVERYONE. It was like this: from twenty to thirty - sun, snow, mountains, skis, philosophy, first love and the birth of children; from thirty to forty - continuous novels and science; from forty - my husband Alyosha and science, and from sixty - a new field of activity.

MY MAIN RULE IS NOT TO STOP. Survive in every sense.

WHAT IS A SCIENTIFIC WORKER? This is a person who is trying to find out the truth.
