He worked easily, with great enthusiasm and joy, because he was understood by young actors who took his art seriously. There’s been a happy mutual understanding and respect in their work. Yuri Petrovich hoped to bless his performance, standing on this stage in front of you. I beg you to take this performance with an open heart.”
