Anatoly Bely on Leah Akhedzhakova: “What she is experiencing now is worth a lot”

“Yes, I’m at home, but what should I do? Live as you are, it won’t get better. I am at home. Where will I go? You see, every now and then my friends, my husband, someone shows me what my fellow citizens write about me. And when I read it, I get chills. Yesterday I read this about me, about my mom, dad. It’s impossible to survive, it’s impossible to survive when your citizens, your audience, who you work for and who you work for and who, I see they love me, walk up the ramp and shout at me: “We love you.” And I know they love me, I’ve traveled all over Russia, all over the world, except Japan. I’m a folk artist or something else. It’s been 50 years since I’ve been in Sovremennik. Imagine what the numbers are and you say, go away,” he said the Bureau during the YouTube show.
