"Moscovsky Komsomolets" №160
"Actors clowns mimes and puppeteers are wonderful combination that shows their individuality."
"The pattern of the actors' movements is so perfect that it leaves the impression of a distinct story and still not a word uttered."
"In their performance "The Crazy Suitcase" they managed to avoid everything that is connected to current political events. But to the great joy of art the world surprises them not as [ ] and even not as voters but as big children." "It's not a fun when a clown makes faces or kick in the behind, or trips up, or throws a cake in somebody's face. These actors are quite different. With a help facial expressions or gestures they are capable of expressing the whole range of emotions. They apprehend the world without dramatic effects like children. It makes us laugh to look at them and because of that none of the problems are to be afraid of."
"…they are not clowns from Europeans' point of view. In the West, abroad a clown amuses people in a caf? or a shop, warms up the audience before the performance or occupies the time during properties change. They are comic actors."
"If we imagine all the festival as a big birthday cake then the "OP-PA" Comic Duet (the actors of the Moscow "Fifty-Fifty" Theatre) is its tidbit. When looking at the clowns Vladimir Kravchenko and Olga Lifentseva you won't simply roar with laughter, laughter will choke you. By this way, Olga Lifentseva is the only clown-ventriloquist in our country. She is unique too, because of her profession. Clownery is traditionally considered to belong only to men."
"…and when Olga Lifentseva takes the man onto the stage that has caught her fancy and makes him sing a love song in a high-pitched voice the audience simply split their sights with laughter. Just because of this number the actress has turned out in the Russian Guinness book of records'. In fact the man doesn't sing. He just opens his mouth when Olga gives him a command. Olga has to sing for both of them. When she is singing her part we hear very pleasant mezzo-soprano, but the man's part she is singing in a usual manner which is called ventriloquism."
"Many children think you will never become bored with mum-clown and your life will be full of surprises. But alas actors' children don't believe in miracles. Ilya Kozlov (Olga's son) knows all the tricks and pranks by heart. The son knows that the clownery means a lot of affords and sees everything straight forward. Probable that's why he refuses to appear on the stage."
"Behind the window on the stage of "Moscovsky club" Vladimir Kravchenko is his own director, everytime he invents performances for himself and uses all he can in them. And never repeats himself."
"You can have a talk with Vladimir Kravchenko using only gestures, exchange smiles, wave your hand. In short Vladimir calls us to the far and beautiful future, where there is no shoot-out and a fairy tail runs the show."
