Visitors, neighbours every evening came to a family almost. Artists talked and played cards, told jokes of times Khruschev's etc. Alexander Mihajlovich never participated in these concourses. Usually he spent the free time on a plank bed, having taken cover the easy Uzbek dressing gown, presented to it during a trip to Central Asia, and read, read and read, but with a magnifier as points any more did not help. Alexander Mihajlovich Gerasimov did not love linen of white colour. «I do not love white, I love colour — here at me the Uzbek dressing gown, I will slip on and I have a rest on a half-hour after a breakfast, a dinner. And so all my life», — was told by him.
