Faina Georgievna Ranevskaya is a Russian and Soviet theater and film actress, People's Artist of the USSR, holder of the Order of Lenin, laureate of three Stalin Prizes, an asteroid was named after her in 1986... Original and talented, she devoted many years of her life to the theater, however She is more familiar to us from her bright and memorable film roles. But that's not why most of us love and remember her. Smart and self-ironic, she stabbed with her tongue like a sting, but at the same time she was vulnerable. She could easily give away half of her salary to those in need and threw gifts into the pockets of departing guests... This amazing woman was the embodiment of a contradiction: she wanted to love, but was lonely. Some sought meetings with her, others avoided her, some idolized her, others were afraid and fell into a stupor, coming under the verbal “fire” of her paradoxical nature. It was her wit and sparkling humor that made Faina Georgievna the favorite of many. In conversations, Ranevskaya did not mince words; her brilliant phrases were parsed into quotes and immediately scattered throughout cities and villages. She was an awkward actress on stage, and sometimes a person in everyday life, because she reacted sharply to falsehood and lies. Her caustic wisdom was, is and will be relevant.
