I must confess to an admiring acceptance of Yevgeny Mironov's Khlestakov. I could not take my eyes off him, and they were clouded with tears of laughter.
Olga Surkova
Seance, 1996
The brilliant Yevgeny Mironov [is] an ace at portraying total absence, a black hole (as in
Moslem), the devil's own creation.
Mikhail Trofimenkov
Seance, 1996
He is gifted beyond all measure, and this role suits him like a glove.
... Mironov should absolutely play this onstage someday.
