Her signature roles in film include Lida in Elder Sister (1967) and Shura in Love and Pigeons (1985), where she formed a memorable comic duo with her husband and frequent co-star, Sergei Yursky.

The Frenchman
In 1957 French student Pierre Durand comes to Moscow to do an internship at Moscow State University. Here he meets ballerina Kira Galkina and photographer Valera Uspenskiy. With them he discovers the cultural side of Moscow — not just the traditional one, but the underground one as well. During his year in Russia’s capital Pierre lives an entirely different life than what he’s used to. But the internship and the experience of the Soviet people’s way of life are not the only things Pierre is after. He’s searching for his father, White officer Tatishchev, who was arrested in the 1930s.
The Green Carriage
Inspired by the life of Varvara Asenkova, a 19th-century actress who earned great acclaim on St. Petersburg stage before her death at the age of 24.
Chernov/Chernov
The strange title is explained by the fact that there are two films in the film: one is about a real day in the life of the real Moscow architect Alexander Petrovich Chernov, his mental crisis; and the other is Chernov’s fiction. There is a different fate, a different country, a different life. It is into this very life that Chernov strives to get into - and for the sake of a trip to Spain he will have to commit betrayal. There, for a moment, the doubles will be nearby and both will be on the verge of death. Who will die in the spring of 1978?
