The widow of Mikhail Gorshenev, Olga, commented on the series on the VKontakte page about the King and the Jester group. She stated that the show tarnished the musician’s memory, she said.
“I haven’t been in contact for a long time, but since what happened was very painful for me and my children, I felt it necessary to express my opinion about the drama. <…> Many people who knew Misha and were friends with her are puzzled, because the image produced in this series is not correct, ”said Gorsheneva.
To him, the creators seem to have focused on the musician’s weaknesses and turned him into an enemy. He stated that the director should “dig deeper” rather than show his audience a superficial picture based on the “two people” opinions. Apparently, Gorsheneva was referring to Andrey Knyazev, a former member of the Korol i Shut group, and producer Igor “Panker” Gudkov, who were directly involved in the production of the series.
“When I approved the series, it was about something else. And in the end, I categorically disagree with what we saw, ”Gorsheva concluded.
