Excerpts from [Oleg Borisov's] journal are read by Yevgeny Mironov. He reads in Borisov's own manner – unpretentious, reserved, without undue emphasis. But behind the reserve one senses a huge emotional charge and explosive energy.

Like Borisov himself, Mironov is able to compel without saying a word.

In this work the actor was able to penetrate so deeply into his hero's soul – conveying his thoughts and emotions, his personality and his great magnetism – that the audience sat still until the lights went up, mesmerized by the artistry of Mironov's incarnation.
