“For many generations, Inna Churikova was a symbol of the fact that a woman can be subject to her fate, regardless of the circumstances in which she lives. Churikova proved that a person with a strong character can make herself. She was very talented , but it was not just acting talent, it was human talent,” Shvydkoy was quoted as saying by TASS.
“Churikova proved that she can be a heroine, and it has been so since her appearance in the film “There is no ford in the fire”, although she previously starred in the film “Clouds over Borsk”. But it was after the film by Gleb Panfilov that a new incredible actress came to Soviet life “, – said Shvydkoy, who called the relationship between Churikova and Panfilov an incredible union of two people and two artists, important for both of them.
“Their departure is very bitter, because such actresses have the magic of art, it seems that this magic can defeat death. But, alas, life is something cruel,” Shvydkoi believes. He expressed his confidence that the audience will continue to watch films with Churikova’s participation, as well as recordings of her performances.
“He lived a happy life on the stage at the Lenin Komsomol Theater, but there will be no such person anymore. He is irreplaceable, no one can take his place,” Shvydkoi concluded.
Nikita Mikhalkov also called Churikov irreplaceable.
Inna Churikova died today at the age of 80. She will be buried on Tuesday at the Troekurovsky cemetery.
