In 1958, he almost accidentally starred in the famous Soviet detective story “ The Motley Varie ”. Printed as a journalist in " Evening Moscow ".

Olev is a very dear person for me, he played a crucial role in my life. He was a wonderful man, wonderful, completely different from other poet. He left too early, was full of creative power, and in recent years, Naum Mironovich wrote a lot for musicals and for movies
