Personal Life
Vasily Livanov was a close friend of Vitaly Solomin and Rina Zelyonaya, who played Doctor Watson and Mrs. Hudson. As he writes in his memoir,
It happens so that when someone passes away, we customarily treat his actions and related events as the thing of the past. But everything about my beloved closest friend and partner Vitaly Solomin has become a part of my way of life, my conscience, so for me it will become the thing of the past only when I pass away too.
Vasily Livanov is also known for his unique voice, with a rich timbre and a resonant tone.
His wife is Elena Artemyevna Livanova, an animation artist; they have three children together: Anastasya, who is a sculptor and a member of the Moscow union of artists, Boris, and Nikolay.

—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“Music is of two kinds: one petty, poor, second-rate, never varying, its base the hundred or so phrasings which all musicians understand, a babbling which is more or less pleasant, the life that most composers live.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
