Minister of Culture Lyubimova spoke about severe pain in connection with the death of Churikova

According to the Izvestia newspaper, Lyubimova attended the farewell ceremony for Churikova at the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow.

“I grew up at the table where Inna Mikhailovna and Gleb Anatolyevich (the husband of the artist) together celebrated very important dates for all our friends, common holidays, including Orthodox ones,” Lyubimova said.

She noted that the loss of each of the great Lenkomists is “such a pain.”

“We are all a little bit children when the older generation leaves.

A very painful feeling.

Each time, it seems, you internally prepare and turn out to be absolutely unprepared for the situation, ”the minister noted.

People's Artist of the USSR Inna Churikova died in the hospital on January 14.

She was 79 years old.

Russian President Vladimir Putin called her death a huge loss for everyone.
