Alexander Vasiliev "Almost alone, Sanya Vasiliev carries the heavy burden of the centuries, the century-old memory of generations, ancient junk that has become a museum value thanks to him ... Where Sanya is, one hears the clinking of antique glasses, shimmering mirror glints, shining candle flames. It is always a theater of one actor". Sergey Nikolayevich
