In a conversation with actress Larisa Luzhina, he said: RTthat the musician Vladimir Vysotsky was very worried about his lack of recognition as a poet.
According to Luzhina, Vysotsky’s colleagues were in no hurry to introduce him “among the elite.”
“Yevtushenko, Rozhdestvensky; They were all very famous at that time. They were friends with Volodya, but they believed that he was just a songwriter, not a poet. His poems were simple and understandable to intellectuals, astronauts, workers and peasants. And it is very difficult to be simple,” said the actor.
Luzhina said that she met Vysotsky before filming Stanislav Govorukhin’s film “Vertical”. She revealed that she was friends with the musician’s first husband, cameraman Alexei Chardy. After breaking up with her husband, the artist also stopped communicating with the singer. They later met on the set of the movie Govorukhin.
Luzhina admitted that Vysotsky was courting her. However, she explained that the musician is interested in all women.
“It wasn’t like he crossed any boundaries. Moreover, he was friends with my wife, so there could be nothing but friendship between us. Maybe he also had some feelings, Volodya was very affectionate. But everything passed at the same pace,” said the artist.
Previously Luzhina denied calling Pugacheva cattle.
