“He left a great poet who understood that he — the great Russian poet, and this did not prevent him to maintain the height of the bar, with which he started his creative career. I think the attitude was different. And he was a man not easy, and the reason for the attitude was different, a lot. But all this means nothing and disappears when you take up a book of his poems,” — said RIA Novosti Mikhalkov.

I think his verses are vitally connected with time and with himself in this time, for our country at least, in many respects, have become and for future generations no doubt will be, our encyclopedia of life”, — said Mikhalkov.
