Among the connoisseurs of culture there is a fairly well-known personality - Mikhail Bolduman. This actor received the title of People's Artist of the USSR. This happened in 1965. Not everyone agrees with the statement that the surname is known to a wide range of viewers.
But so that you know, Mikhail Bolduman is the husband of the famous trainer of Soviet circus art Natalya Durova.
He was born in Ukraine, worked first in his hometown of Zhmerinka, then, by invitation, he left for Kiev. Both at home and in the capital, Mikhail served in the theater. Then he moves to Moscow. But the theater in which he gets a job closes after two years. From the moment the Moscow theater was closed, Mikhail Bolduman becomes an actor of the Moscow Art Academic Theater. On his account more than forty roles. Not immediately lucky with the main ones. At first there were only episodic roles.
The roles of Balduman
Mikhail Bolduman received the Stalin Prize three times for the performance of male characteristic characters. He has the award "Honored Artist of the RSFSR" and the Order of Lenin and the Red Banner of Labor. His heroes are so diverse and difficult to disclose that they need to demonstrate a lot of talent and stamina. Let's list some of his characters: Sateen from Gorky's “At the Bottom”, Iago from Shakespeare's famous work “Othello,” Vershinin from “Three Sisters” by Chekhov.
Mikhail Bolduman is also in demand in cinema. It is enough to list some pictures: “Your Boyfriend”, “Virgin Soil Upturned”, “Shadows of the Old Castle”.
Mikhail Bolduman - son of Durova
Now let's talk about Michael Balduman. But is this not the actor of the Soviet era? Oh no, this is a completely different person. This is the son of the person mentioned above.
The child of illustrious parents had extraordinary abilities. By profession - linguist and translator. By vocation - an artist and poet. Knowledge of languages helped Michael earn a living. He worked at a travel company as a translator and guide at the same time. The education he received at Moscow State University at the Faculty of Biology did little to help him in the future.
Bolduman Jr. biography and personal life
In my personal life there were many difficult situations. He did not want to recognize his daughter Lisa as her own. I had to establish kinship through genetic examination. Only through the court Elizabeth was recognized as a child of Balduman. Michael was not a very loving son, did not care for his sick mother. Popular throughout the Soviet Union and beyond, trainer Natalya Durova became very ill, severe pneumonia and leg damage, constant hospital beds and spa treatment - all this weakened the body of the celebrity.
Natalya Yurievna did not get any better, although doctors predicted a speedy recovery. The miracle did not happen. Durova died, but managed to make a will, in which she named the main heir to her son Mikhail. Four-room apartment, cottage, inherited jewelry, icons. The son refused the inheritance, explaining this by the fact that he is more Balduman than Durov.
About family
But Michael gave the interview willingly. In some stories about himself, he admitted that his childhood was not as bright as a circus performance. The family was constantly on the road on tours. The main thing was always work. For the whole family, the halo of fame was the most important. Everyone was crowned with it, if not in fact, then at least in conversations with friends.
With a great deal of humor, Mikhail recalls the circus hobbies of Natalya Yuryevna. He talked about how his mother loved all animals with incredible inhuman love. All the circus beast artists in the Durov's Corner theater jokingly wore one middle name - Natalyevich or Natalyevna. So, one of the mother’s favorites was a chimpanzee. He was nicknamed Yakov Natalievich.
Animals answered their mistress in return. They appreciated her affectionate attitude towards herself. Michael replied to all reporters that he was against any training. He believed that all animals in the circus constantly go hungry. They become more obedient in this way.
Versatile person
Great fame does not have Bolduman Mikhail Mikhailovich. His biography is sparse and noteworthy. They started talking about him with all their voices only after the death of the famous mother. In addition, Michael died early and suddenly. He rode the train, and death came as a result of heart failure. In addition, he suffered from peptic ulcer disease, which gave exacerbation. But the man he was unusually gifted and unpretentious, he was always ready to help anyone. He drew beautifully, skillfully copied any handwriting. I decided to bring the talent to perfection and graduated from the school of calligraphy. He could draw with both his left and right hands. And even both at the same time. Any languages were given to him surprisingly easily: Latin, French, German, English, and a dozen more, in which he spoke fluently. Mikhail tried many professions, but his love of travel overpowered all other hobbies. The work of the guide captured him completely. The guests of Paris, who arrived as an organized tourist trip, were delighted with the extravaganza that was offered to them by the connoisseur and lover of France, Mikhail Bolduman.
Everyone who knew and loved the son of famous parents never noticed any “star” in him. A man of incredible kindness, a traveler, a lover of communication and a seducer of girlish hearts will forever remain in the memory of those who knew him, the most disinterested talented silver-free. He did not need wealth. He was content with little.
Conclusion
Now you know that Mikhail Bolduman is the son of Durova. The biography is not particularly interesting, but his life certainly can not be called boring.
