The daughter of director Vladimir Menshov and actress Vera Alentova posted an archival photo and wrote: "Today is my birthday. A special one. For the first time without dad and mom. It's a very strange feeling. But I am at peace. They live on in our memory, in their work that still matters to many people… Thank you, my dear ones, for bringing me into this world. And for everything you wanted and were able to give me. I'm already grown up. And I'm coping. And I love you very much!"
The post sparked responses from followers and colleagues: "I love this photo! Thank your parents for bringing you into the world," "Eternal memory to your wonderful parents!" "Your words left me breathless! Happy birthday! Thank your parents for you."
Vera Alentova, star of the film "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears," died in December last year at the age of 83.
