Vyacheslav Nevinny noted Zolotovitsky's desire to make life brighter for everyone.

Igor Zolotovitsky, rector of the Moscow Art Theater Studio School, tried to make life brighter for everyone. Honored Artist of Russia Vyacheslav Nevinniy told Izvestia about this on January 14.

"It's unbelievable. Igor Zolotovitsky is life itself in all its brightest manifestations. He gushed with energy, tried to make life brighter, more fun, more convenient, more enjoyable for everyone," he said.

According to Nevinny, he had known Zolotovitsky since the first year of the Moscow Art Theater Studio School. The artist recalled how Zolotovitsky, along with actors Egor Vysotsky and Grigory Manukov, created cabbage rolls that were popular among students and artists. These humorous performances made fun of the problems of young actors and became an important part of the cultural life of the time.

"I was lucky enough to play with him in many performances. Despite his status as a leading artist and boss, every time he went on stage, he managed to tell me a new, terribly funny joke right backstage. And then he watched me cope with the wave of laughter that came over me and tried to speak some serious text from the stage," the actor shared.

Nevinnny added that Zolotovitsky was an assistant to many colleagues on stage and his death was in every sense a terrible blow.

Zolotovitsky died at the age of 65. On January 14, the Moscow Art Theater Studio School expressed its condolences to the rector's relatives and friends. The date and time of the farewell to Zolotovitsky will be announced separately. The cause of the artist's death was cancer. It was noted that the farewell to Zolotovitsky will take place at the Chekhov Moscow Art Theater. The cultural institution will inform you about the time of the ceremony later.

Director Andrey Zhitinkin, in an interview with Izvestia, called Zolotovitsky a witty and cheerful person. According to him, the actor could make any actor work, which made him a good teacher. Zhitinkin added that Zolotovitsky was a caring rector.
