Prime Minister Vladimir Putin sends his condolences to the family and friends of screenwriter and playwright Mikhail Roshchin on his death

 
 
 

The message reads, in part:

"Russian culture has suffered a serious loss. An outstanding writer, playwright and screenwriter, who had great talents and a uniquely deep understanding of the human soul, passed away.

"Mikhail Roshchin is no longer with us, but his works and the warm memories of this wonderful person will remain forever."
