State Duma deputy Olga Zanko called for the removal of actress Barbara Brylska from the film “The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath” using modern technologies, and the “installation” of another artist in her place.

“Collective Creativity”

There are directors, there are screenwriters, there are composers, there are artists. Who knows what one of them said so we can’t destroy the artwork,” said Drapeko.

We love it even though it’s not pretty. I’m already 84 years old [чтобы] mark it here. Let them go.” has been finalized actress.
