Leah Akhedzhakova, who said goodbye to the stage, was not kicked out of the Sovremennik theater 10/3/2023, 5:40 pm

The 84-year-old actress said that she will never again be able to enter the stage of the theater in which she has served since 1976. Today, the star of the movie “Office Romance” published a letter – her farewell to the stage. “My dear, beloved scene – you gave me the opportunity to confess, to confess my love to people I love, appreciate and respect.” What playwrights! What directors! What partners! pointed out Achedžaková.

Now the artist really does not have the opportunity to play on stage, because in February the play “The Gin Game” with her participation was replaced by other productions. She had no other roles in Sovremennik. At the same time, the management of the theater stated that they did not fire the star.

“Lija Medzhidovna Akhedzhakova was not fired and is an actress of the Sovremennik Theater,” the theater’s spokesperson told RIA Novosti.

The decision of the management of the Sovremennik theater to remove the performance with the participation of Achezhakov from the repertoire does not mean the dismissal of the actress, explained Lidia Fomina, the chairman of the Moscow city organization of the Russian Trade Union of Cultural Workers. According to her, she continues to receive wages. She also estimated Liya Medzhidovna’s approximate income level.

“As before, Acheđakova must receive a salary, which must not be lower than the minimum wage, plus all the incentives for the title, for experience. Only the performance is not paid (payments for each appearance on the stage within the performance. – NEWS.ru). He is a progenitor of our people, so he probably has a decent pension. Plus a salary that is not lower than the minimum wage (in Moscow, this amount is now about 22 thousand rubles), plus additional payments for seniority and title. Roughly speaking, he most likely has about 50k in retirement. And maybe more, “Fomina thought.

Earlier, Oleg Basilashvili said that he was outraged by the decision of the management of the Sovremennik theater to cancel the performance with the participation of Leah Achezhakov. The 88-year-old actor assured that his film partner lost her only job.
