Unrecognizable Leah Akhedzhakova came to say goodbye to Gleb Panfilov

Farewell to director Gleb Panfilov, who passed away seven months after the death of his wife Inna Churikova, was not crowded. Colleagues and relatives of the director came to a memorial service in the temple near the Novodevichy cemetery, where Panfilov will rest next to his beloved wife.

Actress Leah Akhedzhakova was noticed among those present. It was difficult to recognize the 85-year-old artist, all in black, with large dark glasses. Next to her was her husband, photographer Vladimir Persianinov – he is 20 years younger than Leah Medzhidovna.

The couple very rarely appears in public after Akhedzhakova lost her job in Russian theaters. The last time Leah Akhedzhakova was seen at parting with actor Igor Yasulovich, she did not hold back her tears.

The widow of the writer Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Natalya Dmitrievna, came to the funeral of Gleb Panfilov. She and Leah Akhedzhakova had a friendly conversation after the funeral service. Akhedzhakova even smiled unnecessarily, although there were dozens of cells nearby, and the coffin was taken out of the church just five minutes ago. “Where to go? Where is everyone going? On foot?” – Akhedzhakova asked a little bewildered. And she added, saying goodbye to Solzhenitsyna: “We saw each other under such sad circumstances.”
