Legendary designer Vyacheslav Zaitsev celebrated his 85th birthday in the capital’s Yar restaurant. Those present noted that there were very few stars among the guests: of the famous personalities, only Anna Shatilova, Anna Kalashnikova and Bedros Kirkorov were noted. As it turned out, other celebrities simply did not know about the banquet and therefore did not attend. People’s Artist of the Russian Federation Nikas Safronov told us about this.

“For example, I didn’t even know that Slava would celebrate the anniversary, and many of her friends didn’t know about it,” Nikas Safronov told KP.RU. “Zaitseva loves a huge number of famous actors, singers and other people. If she invited them, they would all come to say many nice words to her. I would love to go congratulate Slava, even though I have a very busy schedule. Half of Moscow would have gathered there, because Slava is a world-class star and a wonderful person. But none of his team bothered to invite his star colleagues and friends.

“Unfortunately, recently it has been impossible to communicate with Slava. I wanted to wish him a happy birthday, but I couldn’t”, continues the artist. – They say that next to him there are now several teams that compete with each other, and few people can get close to him. He was isolated. Perhaps that is why they do not have a single clear line that regulates the process of inviting artists to their anniversary.
– Slava himself can already follow this – because of his age – Nikas continues. – Although I saw him not so long ago – we had a great conversation at a fashion show. He said that for him every outing is like a breath of fresh air. I’m sure Zaitsev would be happy if many of his star friends get together on his vacation. With his health and age 85, the anniversary is a great event. So, of course, it’s a shame that the artists he worked with for many years couldn’t be with him at his birthday party.
