“Vasya was a very close person, and although we did not meet in the theater or in the cinema, we traveled a lot around the country ... And he was an amazing person, he was a real, genuine patriot.

He loved his country very much.

And besides the enormous talent that he had, it is remarkable how he read poetry marvelously, he was an incredibly handsome man ... Handsome, noble in the highest concept of this word, "Nemolyaeva noted.

She added that Lanovoy was such a figure "who is with us everywhere, in every corner of the country."

“Now are some very terrible times, because a generation is leaving, so many people have left in this short time, one after another, and this is terribly sad,” Nemolyaeva concluded. 

People's Artist of the USSR Vasily Lanovoy died at the age of 88.

On January 28, it became known that Lanovoy, who was hospitalized with a coronavirus infection COVID-19 in early January, was transferred to intensive care.
