The actor emphasized that he really acted a lot in Russian cinema, but now "has forgotten it," writes one of the Russian Telegram publications:

"Yes, I acted a lot in Soviet and Russian films. But now I put it out of my mind and forgot about it. Let them (Russians - ed.) profit from the beauty that we left for them," said Kalnynsh .

He also stated that he is not concerned that he may, due to his statements and open condemnation of the Russian authorities, end up on the so-called "black list" in the Russian Federation:

"Can I answer this in French? I'm sorry for that. There is another world that interests me more. And all these imperial schemes of the Russians are ridiculous in the 21st century. Today's Russian regime will collapse like a house of cards, like the Soviet Union once did." , - emphasized Kalnynsh.
