“Recently there was such a shameful article by the speaker-journalist Lyudmila Dobrovolskaya, who allowed herself to call – well, how can it be: “People’s [артист] – father, folk [артистка] – mother, and the son comes. This is horror!” No, she said: “This is grief.” Yes, to say such a thing on her tongue,” Sumskaya was indignant.
She did not specify who exactly Dobrovolskaya was writing about, but added that it is on acting dynasties that the theater rests.
“And if a new person comes, he will become the founder of a new dynasty. He will definitely find love for himself, and their child will already be… There will definitely be a good bacillus,” she assured.
The actress recalled that there are acting dynasties not only in the theater, but also in cinema. Sumskaya also cited as an example the career of her son, Ukrainian theater and film actor Vyacheslav Khostikoev.
“And what's wrong with that? Now my son – he [хорошо] feels where it is really needed, useful – this is in dubbing. He caught this element, and all thanks to the fact that at one time in the family, even when it was under the “advice”, I spoke Ukrainian in the family,” she said.
