And it was so <...> very interesting. Of course, it was such a very valuable experience for me," she said.

Kryukova noted that her colleague had a special acting skill. According to the actress, Fedoseeva-Shukshina was attentive to the director's instructions, almost every word, but at the same time she was able to interpret the tasks very subtly and in her own way.
