- SpouseFarida A. Volodarskaya(? - October 8, 2012) (his death)
- Known from his most famous works - screenplays "Check on the Road" and "My Friend Ivan Lapshin" Alexis Herman, "At Home Among Strangers, Stranger Among Friends" by Nikita Mikhalkov, "The Penal Battalion" Nikolai Dostal and many others.
- His first play, "our debts", was staged in Moscow Art Theater Oleg Yefremov, it was a hundred and twenty-nine year old Theatre.
- He wrote eleven plays, and more than fifty scenarios.
- Some of his scripts did not mesh with the Soviet government's carefully manicured version of war-time events, and were shelved by the authorities for several years.
- What I want is to force viewers to watch a serious piece, where there aren't just pointless gun battles and a pile of dead bodies. (from his last televised interview shortly before his death)
