Honored Artist of Russia Alexey Zolotnitsky was an amazing professional and executive person. Andrey Zhitinkin, People's Artist of the Russian Federation, film actor, writer and director, told Izvestia about this on October 25.

"He is an amazing professional. And, you know, he was so modest because, well, he's an Honored Artist of Russia after all, and he starred a lot in his youth. But in the theater, you know, he was very executive," said Zhitinkin.

According to him, Zolotnitsky went on stage, despite various circumstances, and brilliantly played in performances. In addition, Zolotnitsky was a very deep actor, "playing from the inside out."

"He played a lot of roles, and I know that then he moved on to age—related roles, absolutely calmly, and he was dramatic," the director added.
