Many were offended, because the epigrams were poisonous (and this is to say the least). The poet-satirist Alexander Ivanov said: “On Gafta?” Epigram? No way! You can't hide from him. And Gaft, even though he's an actor, not a poet, he'll seal it so you won't wash it off.
And there is nothing to hide sin, so it was. He was able to speak to a point, touching a couple of lines alive. The most interesting thing is that his epigrams were loved by the people, and since the 70s they go from word of mouth. The actor once dedicated a line to Armen Dzhigarkhanyan: “There are far fewer Armenians in the land than there are films where Dzhigarkhanyan played.”
Although he was not averse to joke about himself: Gaft grinded a lot of people and ate them alive in epigrams. He put his hand in this case, and we will fill the rest. Since the late 80s, he has released several collections of poems of his own composition.
