“He was a man with a capital letter.
I remember when we were filming with him in Ukraine, he came to me every morning and asked me to go to the market with him.
He loved fresh fruits and vegetables.
Here we went to the market every morning, and he taught me, one might say, the kitchen, ”said the actor.
He added that "the human qualities of Gennady Gavrilovich prevailed."
“You may not be a famous artist, but you must be a person ... We have suffered a great loss.
We recently lost Leonid Kuravlev, now Gennady Gavrilovich Yukhtin.
These are heavenly bodies that warmed with their warmth and light.
I would like to express my deep gratitude to them for their service to the fatherland and their eternal memory, ”added Vasiliev.
