Lyudmila Chursina is one of the most talented and recognizable Soviet and Russian theater and film actresses, People's Artist of the USSR. She starred in the films “Virineya”, “Crane”, “Gloomy River”, “Shield and Sword”, “Yarovaya Love”, “Olesya” and many others. “Lyudmila Chursina is an aristocrat of spirit in all manifestations, human and professional. This is inscribed on her beautiful, proud face, in the very position of her head, in her manner of deporting herself simply, modestly, but with an unchanging sense of self-worth, in her ability to communicate with spectators and colleagues. From any film role, even one that is rather sparse in material, she builds a strong personality that always remains “straight-backed.” The book includes many photographs from the actress’s personal archive, interviews over the years, and memories of theater colleagues.
