I Should say that despite my regular visits to drama club, to become the actor he dreamed of. And when the Manager suggested to try to go to drama school, it was for Anatoly's surprise.

Hiding from parents ' own intention, he applied to the Leningrad theatrical Institute. And I must say, failed them miserably, because even before the entrance exams became a victim of the evil pranks of the students of this University.
