Vasily Lanovoy. (№ 438869)

In the 70s, director Carmen invited me to voice the 20-episode documentary film "The Great Patriotic War", where for the first time the true figures of our terrible losses were heard. I remember a close-up of people of different ages who went to the front from besieged Leningrad, and the words: “Look at these faces. Remember them. None of these people will come back alive…” I started voicing and… couldn’t hold back my tears. I had to stop. Only after a week I learned to cope with a lump in my throat and rising tears.
