“Bourgeois flavor of beauty noted by Annensky in the lyrics by young Gumilev manifests itself in everything with which Yury Yakovlev has ever appeared on stage: in sensual grace driving crazy the female population of the former USSR, in clear concept of proportion seen in every character, in ratiomality not excluding sentiment”.  (L. Bazhenova).

Yury Yakovlev died 30 october, 2013.
