“I’m waiting for the penny.” That’s an insult!”: Tamara Semina called the artist the poorest in the country 03/23/2023, 1:55 p.m.

Several Russian artists complained about insufficient payments. Poet Larisa Rubalskaya and singer Mikhail Muromov drew attention to this. The performer of the hit “Apples in the Snow” receives 12,700 rubles a month, spending about 70 thousand. Tamara Petrovna is also outraged by how much the state allocates to her. However, she is paid 30 thousand rubles a month for the title People’s Artist of Russia.

Semin considers the representatives of his profession to be the poorest of his compatriots. “Film artists are the poorest in our richest country. I personally gave 65 years, the most beautiful, acting work. And now I have to wait for good money. I don’t even want to say the amount that comes to mind. It’s an insult! Series: “Help us live, don’t teach the mind””explained the 84-year-old movie star.

In order for Tamara Petrovna not to need, about 100,000 rubles a month would be enough for her. Despite the fact that the film career of the actress began in 1958, she notes interest in her roles from young people. According to Semina, she made a worthy contribution to national cinema.

“A hundred thousand, more or less.” Don’t humiliate me, for God’s sake, don’t get into my soul. All the bells need to be rung – how can you not be ashamed to pay actors such pensions? I don’t have a single role – the best acting job. Kathuša Maslová, “The Eternal Call” I have a million pictures. One is better than the other. And I never repeated myself. For the last three years I have had young fans – 18-year-old boys. They carefully go through all my paintings. They say: “What fun to watch!”. I have such a viewer,” explained Semina.

Tamara Petrovna believes that among young artists there are none who are like her. The movie star has always felt the love of foreign audiences. At home, however, the actress sees a different attitude. Semin doesn’t mind. On the contrary, the native of Lgov is loyal to her country.

“Of course there aren’t any.” And that’s what people say, not me. All the earth loves me: near and far abroad. I have visited many countries. And they carried me everywhere! And she came to Russia – in the mouth! But by the way, I never wanted to leave, I’m a patriot. And many times I was called to film abroad. Back in Soviet times,” said Tamara Petrovna.

She was banned from filming abroad, like many Soviet artists. As it turned out, she could appear in one of the German projects. However, Semin was not left without work either.

“They told me: “She is very busy at home”. Which was true, by the way. Because of that, they took offense at me even in Germany. They were shooting a four-part work there and wanted to see me there. But they didn’t let me say goodbye, “Tamara Petrovna added in an interview with MK.
