How do we treat people around you, what is important in life for you. We were brought up in youth so – to think about the Motherland, and then about ourselves. In my time there were three famines – 1933, 1942, 1947, the war – the Great Patriotic War, occupation, the front. The front line of the famous “Mius Front” was held three kilometers away. Bombing, shelling at night and day, and blood, blood. I saw the heroic deeds of our soldiers and the meanness of individual citizens. The war showed the true value of each person. The front passed through the soul of everyone. Despite all the trials that have fallen in my life, I have kept the conviction that it is better than my Russia is not. My conviction in this is supported by the work with young people, with whom I have been working for forty-five years. My students became excellent, not indifferent artists, teachers. I’m proud of them. With them I grew up – I became Honored Artist of Russia, Professor.
