💬 Nina Chusova: “For the public she is a prima donna, an unearthly diva with a wonderful creative destiny, unattainable, who has taken a certain pedestal. An angel, with an amazing voice, who was admired. Someone considered her a witch, a witch who could inflict a curse for being abandoned by a man (troubles rained down on Onassis one after another, the death of loved ones, he was left completely alone), and all her hypnotic performances are not from God. And this is so interesting, ambiguous, I want to create, compose. “
