This was reported by URA.RU with reference to the message of the Samara Academic Drama Theater named after M. Gorky.

“He will be remembered as an impulsive and charismatic actor who possessed a strong creative energy, as a loving father, an attentive teacher and a person with a strong-willed character,” the theater said.

Zhigalin worked at the Samara Academic Drama Theater since 1995.

Earlier, the actor of the theater Et Cetera Peter Smidovich died.
