“At the last Nika ceremony three years ago, actress Dasha Ekamasova said, “Do you want to get a Nika?” Film with Smirnov.” At that moment I was sitting in the hall and, to be honest, I already knew that I would be filming with Andrei Sergeevich, and I felt so scared. I thought, what if I interrupt this tradition? It will be so awkward And today I stand here and feel love and gratitude to Andrei Sergeevich, to Elena Iosifovna Smirnov, not only for the fact that I have this in my hands, although it is very pleasant, but in general for the fact that this happened in my life.” , – said Snigir, receiving the award.
