He creates distinct personalities for his characters in any role, refined, thoroughly thought-of and deeply felt. Whatever the genre, he delivers — comedy and drama, serious and foolish humor, everyday life in all senses, and tragedy with a historical coloring. Olenin will never be lost, will never be confused, he will always give his soul, thought and temperament.” S. Kuglikov. To Olenin’s benefit concert
