“The year 2021 begins, for which we very much hoped, hoped that our friends would finally spare us and would not leave us ... Today we learned that Korenev had died.

Talking about his talent and how people love him is practically nothing to say.

I remember in my youth, when the magazine came out, where he was on the cover - in all houses, in student dormitories, his portrait hung everywhere, everywhere ... His memory is blessed.

Courage and endurance to his absolutely amazing wife, ”said Gushchina.

She also spoke about Korenev's participation in the jury of the "Constellation" festival, noting that they managed to "work closely together" there. 

“It's so good that we managed to work very closely with him at the festival“ Constellation ”, where he was the chairman of the jury.

He always said: "How difficult it is to judge the artists!"

He probably didn’t want to bring grief to anyone ... And today he left us, this is a huge human grief, ”she concluded.

People's Artist of Russia Vladimir Korenev, who played the main role in the film "Amphibian Man", has died after being hospitalized with coronavirus.
