Leah apologized. Like, let me down “: Vasiliy Bochkarev called the removal of the show with Achezhakov predictable 09.02.2023, 13:25

Performances with the People’s Artist of Russia were removed from the Sovremennik repertoire. Leah Medzhidovna learned about it. Production of The Gin Game was scheduled to take place on February 13 and 28, as well as March 29. However, the audience was offered tickets for Three Comrades, Papa and Intuition for these dates. The artist was notified of the corresponding order, according to which she will no longer be in the repertoire of Oleg Efremov’s brainchild.

The movie star’s partner in the game “Gin Game” was Vasily Bochkarev. He believes that the removal of production was to be expected. However, Galina Volchek herself worked on it, the audience was always present in the hall.

“The decision to pull the show was predictable. Although the audience received us very well. Akhedzhakova is an amazing actress. We must not forget that The Gin Game is the last performance of Galina Borisovna Volchek. Valya Gaft played my role for the first time. When things were difficult for him (for health reasons), he gave me his blessing. This is a performance with history,” Bochkarev explained.

Like Lia Medzhidovna, he was informed about the cancellation of the production individually. Vasily Ivanovich did not begin to understand this decision and did not object to it. He is a guest artist and listed on the Little Theatre.

“It is alive, there were no problems with ticket sales, but I received a call from the directorate of Sovremennik that the show was being withdrawn from the repertoire. That’s how it accumulated… So the director decided, the artistic council, the theater has its position, its inner life. I have no right to interfere: after all, I am a guest, a visiting artist, ”said Bochkarev.

The actor of the role in the TV series “The investigation is carried out by ZnatoKi” discussed the situation with Leah Medzhidovna. The 84-year-old actress feels guilty that her partner was left without a role. She once chose him herself to play in a game.

“Then Leah called me and apologized… Like, she let me down.” He understands everything perfectly. He expressed regret and thanked her: we worked together for 5 years and I hope we got mutual creative satisfaction. She chose me as her partner after Valya Gaft left. We both enjoyed the show. We would play on. The audience was very well received. Achezhkova has her own audience,” assured the 80-year-old Bochkarev.

Lia Medzhidovna is very worried, as Vasily Ivanovich pointed out. Akhedzhakova devoted many years to the theater and cinema, and now she is forced to remain without work. Bochkarev believes that the actress of the film “Office Romance” returns to the scene.

“Regrets? Definitely! It’s a loss for her. He doesn’t have a job. As for her political views… There are many people who create big problems for themselves and insist on them. Everyone has the right to choose, but you have to pay for it. I hope that Achežakova will still have a job. She did not leave Russia, like some of our colleagues. It is a great pity for her … And Sovremennik and the performance and memory of Galina Borisovna Volchek – we are all very sorry, ”Bochkarev added in an interview with KP.
