Vladimir Putin sent condolences to Alexandra Pakhmutova on the death of her husband Nikolai Dobronravov.
The message reads, in part:
“Nikolai Dobronravov was an outstanding son of the Fatherland, a true creator and artist, truly a people's favourite. His passing is a great, irreplaceable loss for Russia, for all of us.
Nikolai Dobronravov's remarkable poetic works reflected bright, unforgettable pages of the great country's history, the labour achievements of his contemporaries, their dreams and aspirations, courage and strength of spirit, human dignity.
I am convinced that Nikolai Dobronravov's honest, inspired, surprisingly sincere creative work will always be in tune with the time.”
