“You can’t go beyond this line!”: Leah Akhedzhak’s dismissal shocked Maria Mironova 02/12/2023, 18:40

Achezhkova complained that she lost the opportunity to go on stage at the Sovremennik theater, which she has been serving since 1977. In February and March, performances with the participation of Liya Medzhidovna were supposed to take place, but they were canceled. The director of the theater explained to the 84-year-old People’s Artist of Russia that this was a “demand of angry people”.

The daughter of legendary actors Yekaterina Gradova and Andrei Mironov assured that she was shocked by this situation. “Liya Akhedzhakova can’t go on stage?! Maria noted. – As? No, not because of age or health reasons! God bless you, Leah Medzhidovna, the strongest! Painfully sad, outrageous injustice, which can no longer fit in the head!

The star of the film “Kholop” called Akhedzhak a unique actress, on the films of which a whole generation grew up. According to Mironova, her colleague is an honest, caring and courageous person. Maria recalled a happy childhood in an acting family. She also expressed the opinion that veterans of the scene are having a hard time making a living now.

“I was born in the Soviet Union, I grew up in a cooperative house that the authorities allocated specifically for creative employees,” said Mironova. – I rested in Crimea in holiday homes for them, completely free! 13 years ago we opened the Artist Foundation to help veteran artists! Why? Because we already have big problems with it! In the USSR, they were valued and respected, they were supported, they built houses, hospitals with free services, sanatoriums, allocated apartments and did not blame them for “earning” on the land! What now? They are controlled? That, in my opinion, is the limit, and a limit beyond which it is impossible to go!’

Barbara Brylska turned to Achežakova. The 81-year-old Polish actress said that the communists “will not give life” to the Russian actress. He plays in the movie “The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy a Bath!” he urged his partner to emigrate.

However, Liya Medzhidovna assured that she would not leave Russia. “I am already 84 years old to fly away from here. I have to go through everything here,” she replied.
