Arkady Raikin said about the young talent: Literary gift of Zhvanetsky, the sharpness and paradoxicalness of his sense of life, his ability to convey in the text the diversity of modern colloquial speech, his ability to capture the fantastic reality — all this conquered me. So subdued that for some time Zhvanetsky became in our repertoire, if I may say so, the author-premier.
However, at some point, Michael discovered the truth: he no longer wanted to remain in the shadows. On the streets he heard people laughing at his jokes and remarks. But no one knew that this was the work of Zhvanetsky. This prompted the writer to start his own career.

The writer was one of the brightest representatives of the “Odessa period” of Russian culture, which gave us Ilf and Petrov, Isaac Babel and Eduard Bagritsky.
“There are many writers in Odessa, because there is nothing to write. To write a story, you need to open the window and write it down. – Mikhail Zhvanetsky
Behind the veil of humor, the life philosophy of Mikhail Zhvanetsky has always been hidden. His texts were filled with profound truths about life and the meaning of human existence. The writer believed that man is not eternal and nothing can be done about it. All that remains is to treat everything with humor:
“I may not know the meaning of life, but the search for meaning already gives meaning to life.”
“Wisdom does not always come with age. Sometimes the age comes alone.”
“If you are told that you are a multifaceted person, do not be deceived. Maybe what you mean is that you are a bastard, a bastard and a parasite at the same time.”
“Have you ever tried to throw a mosquito? Far, far away. It's not flying. So he flies, but he spits at you on his own. Therefore, one must be light and independent.”
