The long-awaited monument to the " face of the "Time" program was erected at the Novodevichy cemetery"

Igor Kirillov passed away in 2021 due to serious illnesses, which were also superimposed by the coronavirus. The TV presenter was 89 years old, and before his death due to thrombosis, Igor Leonidovich had his leg taken away. But for the last five years, fans of the host of the "Time" program have been waiting for Kirillov's memory to be immortalized with dignity. Details are provided by the publication "EG".

In the autumn of 2021, after a magnificent funeral at the Novodevichy Cemetery in Moscow, only a simple wooden cross was placed on Igor Kirillov's grave.

The widow of the TV presenter Tatyana Alexandrovna then promised the fans of her deceased husband that a worthy monument would appear at the burial site. But this did not happen for a very long time, and the wave of criticism against Kirillov's wife was rising more and more.

Almost five years later, on Igor Kirillov's birthday on September 14, the monument was finally opened. In 2026, the TV presenter would have turned 94 years old, but his admirers do not forget, they have dented the legendary editions of the "Time" program and reacted very vividly to an important event.
