On January 14, the legendary actress Inna Churikova passed away. People’s Artist of the USSR passed into a better world at the age of 80 as a result of cardiac arrest. According to media reports, cysts in the brain were found in the hospitalized celebrity, but the doctors did not dare to perform the operation. The departure of Inna Mikhailovna became a tragedy not only for loved ones, first of all husband and son, but also for her fans and numerous colleagues. Everyone with whom Churikova happened to work did not have a soul in her. Kirill Krok, director of the Evgeny Vakhtangov Theater, was no exception. In a conversation with journalists of the program “You won’t believe!” on the NTV channel, he remembered the last conversation with the actress, who at that moment was already seriously ill. It turned out that Churikova asked not to write it off.
“She caught a bad cold, she had bilateral pneumonia, which gave complications. She was worried and called me. Imagine hearing: “Don’t write me off, please?” ”Krok recalls.
In the outgoing week, by the way, the funeral of the actress took place at the Novodevichy cemetery. “Express newspaper” told how the funeral ceremony took place. It is noteworthy that almost none of the celebrities came to say goodbye to Churikova, but ordinary citizens went to the cemetery in droves. This even led to several not the most pleasant incidents and fights. The artist was buried in the same alley where Vladimir Menshov, Mark Zakharov and Galina Volchek had already found their last refuge.
