Fans brought a digital photo of her, created using AI, to say goodbye to Lydia Pedosiva-Shukshina. The ceremony was held in the Church of the Resurrection of the Word on the Assumption Vrazhek.
After the funeral ceremony, the coffin with the actress was taken out of the church. Relatives, friends, colleagues and fans came to say goodbye to the artist. Vladimir Putin sent a bouquet of flowers.
Pedoseva-Shukshina will be buried in the Novodevichy cemetery next to her husband, writer and director Vasily Shukishin.
Actress Galina Bukshevskaya brought her friend's favorite candies. She was going to leave them by the grave - to say goodbye, as she said, in the name of St. Petersburg.
Bukashevskaya also said that she usually puts two candies at the Piskraevskoye cemetery in memory of the blockade and the dead children. Fedoseeva-Shukshina was born in Leningrad, so this gesture seemed especially appropriate for the actress.
