Irina Petrovna has worked at the Moscow Art Theatre for more than 60 years and has always been an innovator of change. She loved life and everything new. I never came to work in a bad mood and always smiled. The organizers of farewell brought to the big screen photos of different years of life of Irina Miroshnichenko. This is how she will be remembered by all viewers and artists – smiling and optimistic.

Recall that Irina Miroshnichenko for a long time was treated independently from the flu. On July 30, she called an ambulance and was hospitalized in serious condition. She was diagnosed with sepsis amid severe complications.



The actress also suffered cardiac arrest. After a second examination, Irina Petrovna had a brain tumor. On July 24, the actress turned 81. For the last half of the year, she did not leave the apartment or go to the theater.

Farewell speech was one of the first said Konstantin Khabensky. He said that he was lucky to see Irina Petrovna not only on the TV screen or from the stage of the theater, but also to be acquainted with her personally. It was a great joy to communicate with her.



He remembered that Irina Miroshnichenko always appeared in the walls of the theater smiling and as if fluttering. She exuded self-confidence, was charming and loved giving gifts. No one in the theater could not imagine that for several years the actress is trying to live with excruciating pain. In public, she never showed a bad feeling.

A close friend of Irina Petrovna, Marina Zudina, said only that all her life will regret that she did not call the actress often. I didn't care how she was doing or visit her. Standing on the stage of the theater and saying goodbye to a loved one, Marina Zudina asked for forgiveness for the unsaid words. I asked Irina Miroshnichenko to meet there, in paradise, with Oleg Tabakov and tell him that the children love him very much. Also, Marina Zudina suggested that in paradise Irina Petrovna will make her own theater: new, extraordinary.



Evgeny Mironov recalled the case of how Irina Petrovna helped him find his drawing of the role in the play “The Seagull”. She loved the difficulties in her work and in life. She helped her to live and create. She was a favorite actress of Tabakov and Khabensky.



Instagram Oleg Efremov became exactly the director who revealed all new facets in it and with each role it flourished. Irina Miroshnichenko served the theater, for her it was the meaning of her life. And the theater reciprocated. It is difficult to imagine the theater without her smile and positivity.



In the memory of millions of viewers, Irina Miroshnichenko will remain the sister of Kolka Katya from “I Walk in Moscow”, Maria Magdalena from “Andrey Rublev”, Claire Sheridan in “Kremlin chimes” and Julia in “Winter Cherry”. She played in many performances of the Moscow Art Theatre, on the stage of which she will never come again. But the scene will remember her every step, every breath and every memorized line.
