“I have known Zinaida Mikhailovna Kiriyenko for many, many years.
I can't talk about her in the past tense.
She was an amazing woman and a brilliant actress.
She starred a little, but each of her roles was very memorable ... And when there was no filming, she performed a lot.
Including with chef's concerts.
I went to such concerts with her several times, ”said Drapeko.
She noted that Zinaida Mikhailovna "was a very social person."
“For many years she was on the board of the Russian Film Actors Guild and the Central House of Artists.
She performed a lot in front of veterans.
The time of the great Soviet cinema is running out, ”concluded the deputy.
Earlier it was reported that People's Artist of the RSFSR Zinaida Kiriyenko, known for her roles in film adaptations of Sholokhov's works "Quiet Flows the Don" and "The Fate of a Man", died at the age of 88.
