“The theater gave official information that it happened on December 3,” the press service of the theater noted. – At the 93rd year of life, Nina Nikolaevna was gone. That’s all for now. Since 1962, Nina Nikolaevna has served in our theater. The theater actors reacted with deep sorrow to the death of Nina Nikolaevna. We cannot say about the causes of death. We do not have an official conclusion yet. “

The famous historian Yevgeny Spitsyn, in a conversation with MK, recalled the most striking roles of Nina Nikolaevna and explained why it was impossible to surpass her.
“I am an admirer of Nina Nikolaevna’s talent,” Spitsyn began. – Urgant is a departing nature. The entire Soviet generation of actors is almost gone, only a few remain. Count on one hand who has remained a living history of Soviet art. Nina Nikolaevna is known for many works, but her most striking films are “Prize” and “Belorussky Station”.
For all her popularity and recognition, Nina Nikolaevna was an extremely modest person. She always carried herself with dignity as an actress and as a woman. War under the Roofs is a great movie. Nina Nikolaevna played there with Vladimir Vysotsky. It is a pity that this picture has been forgotten. The peak of Urgant’s career came in the 70s. In the nineties, unfortunately, she almost did not act in films, left the theater.
Nina Nikolaevna lived a wonderful life. Actresses of such a level as hers will forever remain in the memory. We are far from the heights of Soviet and theatrical art. She was a real Soviet actress, I emphasize. Nina Nikolaevna embodied the best features of all Soviet women in her work ”.
