Born into Armenian and Jewish roots, Evgeniy Petrosyan (Евгений Петросян) rose to fame in the late Soviet era, entertaining millions with his cartoonish stage persona, sharp observational humor, and unforgettable monologues.

This LP, released by Мелодия (Melodiya) in 1983 under catalog number М60 44883 000, features ten classic comedy sketches that explore science, medicine, society, and everyday absurdities — all with Petrosyan's unique delivery that still resonates decades later.
