Summary

Valmar Adams (1899-1993), writer and literary historian with artistic nature, has played an important part as a mediator of Russian literature and culture while working in the faculty of Russian language and literature at the University of Tartu during 1931-1974. First poems in Russian and German were published already in 1915. However, his hot-bloodedness often caused trouble. Trivimi Velliste, Rein Veidemann and Linnar Priimägi talk to the 87-year-old Adams.
