“Vladimir Borisovich Korenev was one of the main actors of the Stanislavsky Drama Theater, which several years ago changed its name to the Stanislavsky Electrotheatre.

Last year Korenev turned 80 in June, and it is customary to celebrate anniversaries in the theater, it is clear that due to all the restrictions, the anniversary was postponed ... And to celebrate it on stage and in general, unfortunately, it will not be possible ... Glory Korenev is difficult to compare to anyone else, ”Zaslavsky stressed.

He added that Korenev was chosen for the film "The Amphibian Man" when he was in his last year at GITIS with "the great representatives of the second generation of art theater."

“His teachers were Grigory Konsky and Olga Androvskaya, and, probably, they also recommended him to the Stanislavsky Theater ... You can find on the Internet the words that he has become a sex symbol of the era ... Today, sex symbols change like balls in some drum wheel of this or that lottery, and then a person became a symbol for a long time, and Korenev's fans came to his performances, not missing a single one, 10-20-30-40 years after the premiere of this film.

He was one of those artists who was able to collect a full house, sold out, "- said the interlocutor of RT. 

According to Zaslavsky, Korenev was a difficult person, but in all his public appearances he always defended the value of the acting school.

“Not only talent, but also craft.

These are very important things, which are not customary to talk about today, but which do not lose their validity and value, ”he 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.
