Тарковский пишет в своей книге "Sculpting in time"

I once talked to the late Soviet physicist Lev Landau on this subject. The setting was a shingle beach in the Crimea.
"What do you think", I asked, "Does God exist on not?"
Than followed a pause of some three minutes.
Then he looked at me helplessly.
"I think so."

At the time I was simply a sunburnt young boy, entirely unknown, son of the distinguished poet Arseniy Tarkovsky: a nobody, merely a son. It was the first and last time I saw Landau, a single chance meeting; hence such candour on the part of the Soviet Noble Prize-winner.
