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.
