Comericist Elena Kravets periodically refused to fulfill her roles in comedy concerts " She carefully selected some scenes and did not always agree to the proposed heroes. This happened with the roles of prostitutes.

This was told by the then screenwriter of the studio Max Vyshinsky in an interview with Alina Dorotyuk. According to him, Kravets rejected the numbers that concerned this topic, even though they were relevant and had a comedic subtext.

As an example, Vyshinsky gave a scene in which the prostitute during the pandemic Covid-19 observed all quarantine restrictions-she greeted her elbow, was in a mask, etc..

" Very often we brought numbers about prostitutes in different situations. For example, Covid-19: He called a man for himself a prostitute, and she greets her elbow there, with a mask. By that time it was relevant and funny. True, it was very funny, and Elena Kravets refused to play this number. I understand her, because almost every concert brought her something like that. She is already possible as a kind of offense perceived: \? I am multifaceted! " She proved it more than once, ”the screenwriter recalled.

He also admitted that at that time he was offended by Kravets, since the payment system in “Quarter 95” provided for remuneration only for the numbers that went on stage. The actress’s refusal was a financial blow for the young screenwriter, because he planned to spend a fee on vacation with a girl abroad. By the way, he revealed that on average he received $ 500 for one number released on stage.

" It was my number, and we had such a payment system then that if it did not reach the scene, you do not get money. And I was there 26–27 years old, and I wanted to fly to Cyprus with a girl. I wanted this money! "
