The son of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan Stepan has long lived in the United States. He moved to the United States with his mother, the second wife of actor Tatyana Vlasova. Recently, the artist’s heir returned to Russia. In Moscow, the actor’s son attended a joint show of designer Anika Kerimova and Philip Kirkorov’s 11-year-old son Martin. Stepan spoke with journalists and told about his impressions of life in the capital.
Especially the heir to the artist was shocked by the prices for food in Russian stores. According to him, the cost of food in Moscow is half that in the United States.
“I arrived in Russia recently, so for now I can only speak for Moscow,” says Stepan. – If earlier the prices for products in Russia differed from the United States by about two times, now the price in Moscow is simply several times lower. It’s amazing!” Stepan told MK.
According to him, in recent years in the United States everything has risen in price several times.
“In the last year and a half, inflation in the United States has gotten just terrible. The cost of the United States food basket has multiplied several times. If in Moscow I pay a little more than 300 rubles for a kilo of chicken fillet, then in America it is more than a thousand in terms of Russian money. And prices in the United States continue to rise. How Russia manages to contain inflation, although it exists here too, is a great mystery to me,” said the star heir.
Dzhigarkhanyan was also pleasantly surprised by the choice of products in Russian stores.
“A separate moment is the assortment of merchandise. Despite the sanctions, the shops are full of everything – eyes run wide. The range of products is much larger than in America itself. True, this cannot be said about manufactured goods and equipment – in Moscow there are fewer options. Here, probably, they knocked down the sanctions, ”he said.
Stepan is the son of Tatyana Vlasova from a previous marriage, Armen Dzhigarkhanyan raised him as his own. Stepan graduated from the Moscow State University Faculty of Journalism, worked in theater and acted in films. He now lives in Las Vegas and makes a living playing poker, participating in professional tournaments.
After the death of the artist, Stepan was considered a rich heir. However, on the air of the program “Let them talk” on Channel One, the son of Dzhigarkhanyan said that the cost of the actor’s funeral turned out to be more than the inheritance that he left him. According to him, Armen Dzhigarkhanyan has five beads left. In one there were two thousand rubles, in the other – the sum of various pensions, in the rest there was nothing at all.
