Alexander Shirvindt Expresses Caustic Remark upon Receiving Award

Instead of gratitude, he uttered a caustic remark.

Alexander Shirvindt finally received his award, which he was awarded two years ago. But due to the fact that the coronavirus pandemic was raging all over the world, the coveted statuette never reached the artist. Therefore, we decided to correct this injustice this year.

Andrei Konchalovsky and Julius Gusman personally brought the “Nika”, awarded to Alexander Shirvindt “For Honor and Dignity”, to the theater and handed it over immediately after the performance. The actor accepted the award in makeup, without even having time to change clothes.

However, as noted in the newspaperMK”, the artist took the figurine without enthusiasm. He sarcastically noted that only in Russia people are so obsessed with all kinds of awards. And only in this country they are looking for reasons to make the next figurines.

Alexander Shirvindt even remembered the words of another famous “ulcer” Faina Ranevskaya, who said that all these medals and awards for her are akin to funeral accessories.
