I invited Sofya Mykhailivna, talked with her son. However, we did not receive a favorable response, I do not know for what reasons. Sofya Mykhailivna and dad were lucky enough to be the first to perform the works of Volodymyr Ivasyuk, and this is what unites them: the film “Red Ruta” and the aesthetics of the 70s. They are both great artists, but they are different,
