Despite the fact that today almost every day new films are released - Russian and foreign - many of us still prefer films from the old Soviet cinema.
One of the most talented and beloved actors of that time was Nikolai Rybnikov, whose biography will be interesting to many. Not possessing classic beauty, but being very charming and talented, he won the hearts of millions of Soviet citizens, especially girls. The most famous films with his participation were “Spring on Zarechnaya Street”, “Girls”, “Height”, “Girl without an Address”.
Actor Nikolai Rybnikov. Biography
Rybnikov was born in 1930 in a city called Borisoglebsk. His parents were ordinary people: his father worked as a locksmith, and his mother spent all day working around the house. In addition to Nikolai, there was another child in the family - Vyacheslav, his brother.
The family was very friendly, but the war broke their happiness. One day a letter came from the front stating that their father had died. Mother soon died too, not enduring grief.
The biography of Nikolai Rybnikov in his childhood is rather sad, because in his teens he remained an orphan. However, he found the strength to achieve his goals in life, as well as help his brother.
Even during the war, Nikolai, Vyacheslav and their mother moved to Stalingrad to aunt. There, the young man graduated from school, in which his acting abilities first began to manifest. After that, he studied at a medical school. In parallel with this, the young man was an actor in the supporting staff of the drama theater of Stalingrad.
Soon, however, the biography of Nikolai Rybnikov is changing dramatically: realizing that medicine is not his vocation, he decides to enter the actor in Moscow. So, in 1948, he successfully passed the exams and became a student at VGIK. Simultaneously with his studies, Rybnikov played in performances. From the first days of the first year, he realized that his calling was to be an actor. Even then, he brilliantly played a variety of roles. He was magnificent in the image of Khlestakov, and Julien Sorel, and Benckendorf.
Despite this, when the actor graduated from the institute, he was offered very few dramatic film roles. The biography of Nikolai Rybnikov and his filmography help to trace that the vast majority of his characters are ordinary workers. Builders, foremen and ordinary workers in the factory - that was his role.
Nikolai Rybnikov always had a good sense of humor. This quality of his was manifested during his studies at the institute. Even then, he was expelled from the Komsomol after one joke that was too “daring” (according to the leadership). Rybnikov on the radio announced a decrease in retail prices for products, skillfully faking his voice under the voice of the announcer. But he was quickly exposed, and for a long time he was on a special account with his superiors.
Biography of Nikolai Rybnikov could not do without a beautiful romantic story. As a student, he fell in love with his classmate Alla Larionov. At that time she had a boyfriend, but in 1957 they met again and very soon formalized their relationship.
Together Rybnikov and Larionova lived for 33 years. Surely this period would be much longer if in 1990 the honored artist of the RSFSR did not die of a heart attack.
Nikolay Rybnikov was buried at the Troekurovsky cemetery in Moscow.
