"Smashed with a rag to the bruise": Kharatyan told how he revenged Fedoseyev-Shukshin

“Lydia Nikolaevna and I talked a lot and filmed together several times,” says the actor. - In "Vivat, Gardemarina" she was. And before that, there was such a film “Branch”. He was filmed at the Minsk Film Studio.

“I remember that she beat me with a rag for real,” Dmitry continues to recall. - For being late for my shift. Disciplined and was late to the set. And they waited... People's Artist! And she took revenge on me. The role should have been beaten with a wet cloth. But you could've just outlined it. And she hit me so hard that I fell into that bathtub, closed, and then I even had bruises.

Kharatyan says that in life Lidia Nikolaevna was a great person: very warm and responsive.

“A beautiful person is Lydia Nikolaevna: wonderful, kind,” says Dmitry. Vladimir Semenovich Vysotsky has a dedication to Vasily Makarovich Shukshin when he left on October 2, 1974. It begins: “No more cold, no ice.” The earth is warm, the kaline is red. And there was another man in the ground. Now they'll be together on Novodevichy. Forever.
