H2 The Legacy of Igor Zolotovitsky and the Growth of Elysei Pevtsov /H2 H3 Moscow Bids Farewell to a Theater Legend /H3 P On January 17, Moscow bid farewell to the Honored Artist of the Russian Federation, Igor Zolotovitsky. The memorial ceremony was held at the Moscow Art Theater named after Chekhov, a place intrinsically linked to the artist’s professional life. For over 40 years, Igor Yakovlevich graced this stage, shaping an entire era in Russian theater. His burial took place at the Troyekurovskoye Cemetery. /P H3 A Battle with Illness and a Life Dedicated to Theater /H3 P The news of Zolotovitsky’s passing emerged on January 14, 2026. The artist passed away at the age of 64 after a long and arduous battle with stomach cancer. Despite his diagnosis, he continued to work almost until his final months, remaining faithful to his profession and his audience. His departure was a significant blow to the theatrical community, with dozens of colleagues, students, and friends attending to pay their last respects. /P H3 The Pevtsov Family: A Rare Public Appearance /H3 P Among those who came to bid farewell to the artist were Dmitry Pevtsov and Olga Drozdova, accompanied by their son Elysei. The family rarely makes public appearances together, so the presence of the 18-year-old immediately drew attention. /P H3 Elysei Pevtsov: A Young Man of Poise and Maturity /H3 P At the memorial ceremony, Elysei appeared composed and mature. Dressed in a formal black suit and a long dark coat, he held a bouquet of white roses. Photographs captured the young man walking confidently alongside his parents: Dmitry Pevtsov, focused and collected in a dark down jacket with fur trim, and Olga Drozdova, her emotions concealed behind sunglasses. Elysei’s calm demeanor and stature conveyed a clear message: the boy for whom difficult decisions were once made has grown into a man. /P H3 The Transformation of Elysei Pevtsov /H3 P Today, Elysei is 18 years old and has truly blossomed into a handsome young man. Tall, slender, with striking features and a composed manner, he exudes an air of maturity and independence beyond his years. /P H3 Olga Drozdova’s Sacrifice: A Mother’s Devotion /H3 P In May 2021, Olga Drozdova unexpectedly left the Sovremennik Theater, where she had dedicated over 30 years of her life. She not only changed her workplace but also announced the end of her acting career. Rumors circulated about conflicts with management and reluctance to compete with younger actresses, but the real reason was far more personal. /P P At the time, Elysei was 13 years old, and the family faced challenges during his adolescence. The teenager required constant attention and involvement from his parents. Pevtsov later explained that during this period, their son and his internal struggles became Olga’s top priority. According to the actor, she was far more needed by her child than by the theater stage, and this realization led to her conscious and timely decision to leave her profession. Pevtsov expressed pride in his wife’s actions, considering them a testament to true maternal responsibility. /P H3 Guiding Elysei: Discipline and Spiritual Growth /H3 P To guide their son and help him navigate this challenging period, Dmitry and Olga made another crucial decision: they enrolled Elysei in a cadet school. The discipline, routine, and clear rules provided a foundation for the teenager. Additionally, Pevtsov began to focus on his son’s spiritual education. During summer vacations, father and son traveled together to restore churches, working and engaging in deep conversations. This experience significantly influenced Elysei’s character development, according to close sources. /P H3 Elysei’s Present: Focused on Growth and the Future /H3 P Now 18, Elysei occasionally appears with his parents at public events and on red carpets. Judging by his growth and demeanor, he attracts considerable attention from the opposite sex. However, a couple of years ago, he admitted that his heart was free and his thoughts were focused on education and self-improvement. The current state of his personal life remains unknown, as the family prefers to keep such details private. /P H3 A Future Beyond the Theater /H3 P Despite being born and raised in a theatrical environment, Elysei is in no hurry to continue the family dynasty. He has no plans to enroll in a theatrical university and honestly admits that he has not yet decided on a profession. However, he is certain about one thing: he wants to be a good person, which he believes is more important than any accolades. /P P Dmitry Pevtsov supports this approach and is rather skeptical about the modern film industry, not considering it a suitable place for his son. The actor has often stated that there are too few truly worthy individuals in the profession, and popularity alone cannot be a guiding principle. /P P Photo: Yulia Morozova/TAS /P P Video: A href=”https://www.woman.ru” rel=”nofollow” Woman.ru /A /P
