The latter quality gives L. Tenev an incomparable advantage - to perceive the shades of the artistic fact, to penetrate its transparent and delicate matter. In the approach of the critic 167 there is rigor, consistency, despite the apparent ease of language. Here I am not talking so much about pedantic conscientiousness, but about an inner predisposition to sharply and precisely reveal the phenomena, to their methodical unraveling. The imagination in this case is directed more towards the internal laws of the spectacle, the image, the play, and not so much towards random and playful ideas.
