Арнольд Фабрикант все еще очень энергичный человек несмотря на преклонный возраст. Он говорит взволнованно и с любопытством смотрит в глаза своего собеседника. Он живет в трехкомнатной квартире в старом доме на тихой улице в историческом центре Одессы. В одной из комнат квартиры находится коллекция вышивок, украшенная цветочными узорами – творения его жены Натальи Яковлевны, очень милой женщины. Квартира скромно меблирована. На торшере, столе и полках имеются кружевные чехлы, которые создают уютную старинную атмосферу. Маленькая комната, где у нас было наше первое интервью, служит кабинетом. Там очень много папок, заполненных вырезками из прессы, документами, файлами и видеокассетами. Дом полон книг. Семья дружелюбная и милая. Хотя Арнольд очень занятой человек, он хотел поговорить со мной и поделиться своей историей.
