Pankratov-Cherny was shocked by the anti-Russian trick of Ivar Kalnynsh: “What is happening to him”

Alexander Vasilievich admitted that the Latvian actor does not communicate with him

Ivar Kalninsh continues to act with sharp criticism of Russia. The actor, who became famous thanks to Soviet films, said that he would never return to Moscow. Now the 74-year-old artist lives in Latvia. He has no job. Apparently, in order to somehow earn money, he distributes interviews left and right.

In one of them, Ivar admitted that he had renounced his Russian friends and did not regret it at all. Alexander Pankratov-Cherny, with whom Ivar had been friends for many years, admitted: now they really don’t communicate.

– I don’t know what’s going on with him. For me, this is a complete surprise. I just don’t know how to explain all his words, – Alexander Vasilyevich sighs.

According to Pankratov-Cherny, he never had any disagreements with Ivar. Over the years, they not only communicated regularly, but also supported each other in every possible way.

– When the play was last played in Riga, we met with him, dined together, – Pankratov-Cherny continues. – Everything was fine. He knew my family, I knew his. Therefore, Ivar’s statements came as a complete surprise to me. You have to ask him why he says that. I cannot find an explanation for this. Although, maybe this is some kind of provocation. Don’t know. But after that we didn’t talk and didn’t communicate.

By the way, the other day Kalninsh said that he was underpaid in the USSR. According to the actor, Goskino earned millions on films with his participation. At that time, he himself was “thrown away the jokes.”
