The famous Russian actress Leah Akhedzhakova was deprived of her roles in three productions at the Sovremennik Theater. Many colleagues spoke to support the actress, she said. The actress was supported by journalist Ksenia Sobchak. She described Akhedzhakova’s dismissal as a betrayal of the past.
“To dismiss a great old actor from his last role is to betray our shared past. To make Zemfira, the lead singer of my generation, a foreign agent is to betray the future. You will lose a generation … ”writes Sobchak’s post on social networks.
