“And so, when we met in this way, I laid out my plan,” the hero Mikhail Ivanovich reported to his film director, the police colonel.
It is thanks to the role of an honest and decent policeman that the actor of Soviet cinema Stanislav Chekan woke up famous.
Childhood
On the second day of June 1922 in Rostov-on-Don, the first-born son, Stasik, was born with the four Chekans. Mom, Matilda Ivanovna, was German, and dad, Julian Egorovich, was a Pole.
While the Civil War lasted, his parents fought under the leadership of Budyonny himself. Semyon Mikhailovich used to carry little Stanislav in his arms.
Ten years later, another boy was born in the family - Volodya. Mom loved them very much and was constantly worried, as if Stasik, too energetic, would not get into bad company.
Life in a labor colony
When Stanislav Chekan was a 15-year-old, his dad was arrested as an enemy of the people. It was believed that he, as a cook, allegedly had a plan to poison Soviet soldiers. After a very short period of time, my mother was arrested. Their nationalities turned out to be quite “suitable” for being declared enemies of the people.
The younger Volodya, who at that time was already five years old, was taken to an orphanage, and Stanislav Chekan went to a labor colony. Many years passed after that, and as an adult, the famous actor, barely holding back tears, recalled how he sat hungry and watched the demonstration, where the guys carried posters with thanks to Stalin for their happy childhood.
It is here that the future actor begins his journey into art. The case brought him to the teacher working in the colony (a former actress). It was in Stasik that she discerned the talent of the artist and invited him to come to the drama circle. The young man began to participate in amateur performances with pleasure. But having received a passport, Chekan Stanislav Yulianovich escapes from the colony and gets a job as a tinsmith at the factory.
Parent resort
The mother of the boys was released from prison two years later. First, she spotted the eldest son, a little later and the youngest. But Budyonny himself participated in the release from the dungeons of the pope. The family finally reunited.
Matilda Ivanovna and Yulian Egorovich lived after prison for many happy years. And the years of being behind bars always always recalled with a single phrase about how they were once at the resort ...
Stepan Brothers and Glory
The future actor Stanislav Chekan entered the theater university in his hometown. This was the course of Yuri Zavadsky. During the entrance exams, Stasik met a guy who was constantly worried and constantly pulled his nose. So made friends Stanislav Chekan and Sergey Bondarchuk, who later called themselves Brother Slava (Stas Chekan) and Step's brother (Sergey Bondarchuk). Each of them was sure that he would not do it, but out of two hundred people only they passed. Friends were always together, and to have a snack after the lectures, they ran to Stas Chekan's dad in a restaurant where he worked as a cook.
"Get up, the country is huge"
So successfully started his studies at the theater university was interrupted by the start of World War II. Like millions of Soviet guys, Chekan Stanislav Yulianovich leaves to defend his homeland as an ordinary soldier. In the battle near Novorossiysk he was wounded, and after treatment he began to work in the front-line theater. There he met his common-law wife, the artist Tina Mazenko-Belinskaya.
When the war ended with the complete and unconditional victory of the country of the Soviets, Stanislav Chekan, whose films will subsequently be watched with adoration and admiration, is arranged in the troupe of the Odessa Theater of the Soviet Army. In 1948, he transferred to the Central Academy of CA, where he worked for eight years.
More and more place in the life of Cecan is occupied by cinema. Stanislav Yulianovich leaves the theater, but does not forget about him. Until 1993, the artist worked at the Studio Theater of the film actor.
Nevertheless, a lot of time was devoted to cinema, which ultimately brought him popularity, success, recognition. The first small roles in the films Blue Roads and Son of the Regiment did not instantly make the actor famous. Everything changed the picture "Taras Shevchenko", shot in 1951. Cecan had a tiny role in this film, but his unique talent did not allow him to forget this character. The coachman, famously performing forbidden songs, performed by the actor was simply magnificent.
The following year, he went to the shooting of the film “Outpost in the Mountains”, which was filmed in Central Asia.
“Cinema, cinema, cinema. We are crazy about you ... "
The very first appearance on the screen of a young aspiring actor took place in 1946. It was a simple episodic role - an ordinary in the film "Son of the Regiment." And after seven years, Stanislav Chekan, whose films have been watched by several generations of viewers, embodied on the screen border guard Marchenko. This was his first major major role.
The end of the fifties was marked by the beginning of the broad path of Stanislav Yulianovich in cinema.
Outwardly, he was a very colorful and textured man, had a huge sense of humor and indescribable charm. On the screen, as a rule, he “gave birth” to images of boatswain and chauffeurs, foremen and police officers. His most famous film works are Sabodage in the detective “Two Tickets for a Day Session”, Tikhon Shcherbaty in “War and Peace”, Anton Krylenko in the film “Another Flight”. One cannot help but recall two more of his best and favorite roles among millions of viewers: the cobbler Ivan Petrovich Kuskov in the film “And Aniskin Again” about the village detective and the unforgettable police major Mikhail Ivanovich in the comedy “Diamond Hand”. Working on the same platform with venerable actors and realizing that his role is not the main one, but of the second plan, he nevertheless created his character so alive and real that the vast majority of viewers, having heard his name and surname, immediately remember exactly “Michal Ivanitch. "
As far back as the sixties, Chekan married Nonna Yulianovich, who was almost twenty years younger than him. A son Sergey was born in the family. He later became an actor, also dubbed films. Unfortunately, in 2005 he died.
In the last years of his life, Stanislav Chekan was very ill. So the old wound that the actor received at the front made itself felt. Now he did not work in the troupe of the theater, almost did not act in films. In 1994, he felt very ill, Chekan even admitted to his wife that he did not need to be in this world, because with the departure from the profession he no longer wanted to live.
When Chekan needed hospitalization, it turned out that he had acute leukemia. Doctors predicted a life span of about three weeks. Nonna Yulianovich begged the Aesculapius so that they would not raise this issue in conversations with her husband.
The actor left this world on August 11, 1994 and was buried at the Vagankovsky cemetery.
That was the actor Stanislav Chekan. The biography of this wonderful person, unfortunately, has ended, but the memory of him lives in the hearts of his fans until now.
