A great and powerful power called the Soviet Union gave a start to life for a huge number of talented people. Many of them are great role models. The works of outstanding masters still glorify not only Russia, but all the CIS countries. Bryullov, Mukhina, Blok, Mandelstam, Chagall, Ranevskaya and many other artists revealed to the world new creative facets of the soul of Soviet man.
Glorifying the country
The cultural heritage left by the maestro is the pride of all the CIS countries. Boris Nevzorov has been an outstanding artist born in the USSR and gloriously glorifying the art of Russia for a quarter century. An actor of theater and cinema, he achieved great success. They know him by sight. The audience loves good characters performed by a talented master. Boris Nevzorov, whose filmography includes many paintings, became famous for his roles not only in films, but also in numerous series. This article will tell you how an ordinary Soviet boy became a favorite of the public and directors.
Children's years of the Astrakhan boy
In the middle of the twentieth century, on January 18, 1950, Boris Nevzorov was born in the village of Starominskaya, which is located in the Krasnodar Territory. The biography of the future artist begins in the family of a party worker. In connection with the activities of his father, the family was forced to move to Astrakhan. It was there, among the chestnuts, stretching for hundreds of meters, planting tomatoes and fish plenty that Boris Nevzorov enjoyed his barefoot childhood. The actor at that time was not much different from his peers. His interests revolved around boyish games, leprosy and swimming in the Volga.
"Puss in Boots" as a turning point
Neither his relatives nor close ones even had any relation to art. The theater influenced the boyâs desire to become a great artist. At that time, schoolchildren, workers, and all residents were sent âto the cultural levelâ to the theater, cinema, circus, or museums âby orderâ. Once the class in which Boris Nevzorov studied, received tickets to the Theater of the Young Spectator. At that time, the production of Puss in Boots was staged on the stage of the establishment. This performance conquered the boy. He memorized all the parties. Together with friends, Borya staged a play in the courtyard. They fashioned a semblance of a theater: with a stage, spotlights, and, of course, invited spectators. However, gradually the passion began to fade, and by the end of school the boy had already forgotten about his once great desire to become an artist. He decided to get a more specialized doctorâs specialty, by the standards of his parents.
Magical transformation
What happens later on in its narrative may resemble the plot of the film. A few days before the start of the examination period, Boris Georgievich Nevzorov accidentally enters the Theater of the Young Spectator and, by chance, meets the main director there. To the timid request of the young man to listen to him, the great maestro answered with agreement. The director wrote a small poem passage performed by the young man, his manner of reading and gesturing so much that the director immediately enrolled yesterdayâs student in the auxiliary theater troupe. Thus, in a completely magical way, a young man who does not have a special education embodied in reality his childhood dream of the stage. The absence of professional artists in the theater gave Boris an opportunity to play in the performances of fabulous animals, secondary characters and even Santa Claus in a short time. This role was the main achievement of the young man in the Astrakhan Youth Theater.
From artist to wipers and back
At the end of the first working season, Eduard Kuptsov, the main director of the theater, advised the young artist not to waste talent in the outback and go to conquer the capital. Yielding to persuasion, the young man goes to Moscow and immediately enters the first year of the Higher Theater School. M.S. Shchepkina. However, all the dreams of a fun and beautiful life of a student-artist, which Nevzorov painted for himself, turned to ashes. He was in no way satisfied with the cruel Moscow reality. After three training courses, Boris leaves the school and gets a job ... a janitor. After a year and a half of âdustyâ work, the young man decides to return to art. The Moscow Art Theater School became an institution that hospitably opened the doors for a new student, which was Boris Nevzorov. The biography of the artist is replenished with new interesting events.
First successes
On the basis of the course where the young man studied, the New Theater was organized. It was there that a student from Astrakhan first showed his skills. The next place where Nevzorov became famous was the theater to them. Moscow City Council. This event occurred in 1984. However, after another two years, the artist returned to his former place of work. Soon Nevzorov shone on the stage of the theater. Stanislavsky. And after some time, at the Maly Theater, viewers could enjoy the production of Gogol's âThe Examinerâ, in which a talented young man also participated. He got the role of a judge with a "speaking" surname - Lyapkin-Tyapkin. Boris Georgievich was also involved in other performances: âWedding, Wedding, Wedding!â, âDon Juanâ, âWolves and Sheepsâ and others. Nevzorov admitted that in this theater he managed to feel the real home atmosphere and become part of a full-fledged theater family.
Ups and downs
In parallel with his work in the theater, Boris Georgievich was building a career in cinema. It should be noted that his road to popularity was quite thorny and rather long. Nevzorov could not find his role. That is why his star in the horizon of cinema still did not flare up.
In 1978, a full-length film entitled âI Can't Say Goodbye!â Was released, where Boris Georgievich played a small and almost unforgettable role. The second appearance on the screens happened with the release of a grotesque picture called "The Road". This film turned out to be so useless that not a single director invited the actors who played in it. The world of cinema is actually very small. All the falls and ups of the artist take place in front of the public. That is why one unsuccessful role can spoil the whole future even to the most talented actor. This could happen with Nevzorov. For quite some time, he could not find himself in the slightest degree a suitable role.
Thanks to looks
After some time, Sergey Linkov, the director of the Odessa film studio, was about to shoot a historical and documentary film about the hero Mikhail Frunze. For one of the roles in the film, it was necessary to find a suitable actor. By coincidence, Nevzorov became this artist. A striking resemblance to Marshal Blucher helped the young man get out of a failed hole. In 1978, the documentary film âMarshal of the Revolution,â in which he was ârebornâ as actor Boris Nevzorov, was released on television screens.
It should be noted that his appearance more than once became a lever of influence on directors. Thanks to her, Nevzorov also got a role in the film adaptation of the acclaimed book by Jacob Reznik âCreation of Armorâ. The name of the film is âChief Designerâ. He got the role of designer Mikhail Ilyich Koshkin - the creator of the legendary T-34 tank. That was in 1980. A year before the described event, Nevzorov starred in three more films: âDay of Returnâ, âWorld in Three Dimensionsâ and âParticularly Dangerousâ.
Public fame and love
After the successful role of the designer Koshkin, Boris Georgievich starred in the film adaptation of the first part of the polessie âPolesskaya Chronicleâ by Ivan Melezh âPeople in the Swampâ. His partners in the film were Elena Borzova and Yuri Kazyuchits.
As a rule, all roles performed by Boris Nevzorov were noticeable and very successful. Many people remember the good and kind Soviet films with the participation of this actor: âYou have to liveâ, âHere is such musicâ, âFloodâ, âOrder: cross the borderâ, âFind and neutralizeâ and others.
However, the all-union love and glory of Boris Georgievich brought the role of Ivan Ryabov from the film "Young Russia". Released on television in 1982, the picture created a sensation among the population of the USSR. Director Ilya Gurin very plausibly managed to convey the history of the creation and formation of the Russian fleet at the turn of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Boris Nevzorov still considers the role of a feedman the most successful in his entire filmography. It is noteworthy that when shooting this picture, the actor was very useful for his passion for sailing. While still a boy, he and friends often went down the Volga in makeshift little boats.
Long filmography
In 1986, together with the beautiful Lyudmila Zaitseva, Nevzorov brilliantly played with Yuri and Renat Grigoriev in the movie âMoscow Saysâ about the war years. In the same year, Boris Georgievich appeared in the picture of Gennady Vasiliev âPrimordial Russiaâ in the role of a positive historical character that had already become familiar. The role of Vseslav, the leader of the Slavic tribes, united to fight the Khazars, brought the actor unprecedented fame.
The filmography of the actor has more than forty full-length films. Among them are both art paintings, and film adaptations of books, and documentary novels. In many of them, the actor used some theatrical techniques.
From Simple Truths to Your Own Picture
In addition to filming in feature films, Boris Nevzorov is a member of more than thirty TV series. His âsoapyâ career began in 1999. It was then that the actor was invited to the role of the school principal in the series "Simple Truths". As a rule, actors of the Soviet school are wary and cautious of various new trends in art. Most "adult" artists with disdain speak about the series, calling them base raw materials and hackwork. However, Boris Nevzorov does not belong to their number in any way. He believes that one cannot refuse work when there is simply no other way to improve mastery. As the actor notes, if you take the shootings in the series seriously, you get a quality product. The same is true in the big movie: if you try to cheat, then the film will come out bad.
During his creative career, Nevzorov starred in such series as âLady Bumâ, all parts of the detective âKamenskayaâ, âDasha Vasilyevaâ, âMarch of Turetskyâ, âHealing with Loveâ, âMistressâ and others.
Boris Georgievich also showed his talent as a director. His debut work was a criminal tape "The priest had a dog ...". In this film, Inna Timofeeva, Igor Bochkin, Oleg Shklovsky and the maestro himself starred.
Three spouses
The first wife of Boris Nevzorov, Marina, studied with the actor at the Shchepkinsky school. The couple registered the marriage as soon as the girl was eighteen. They had a son, Boris, who currently lives in the UK and, unfortunately, does not maintain relations with his father. The couple lived together for eleven years. Then followed a divorce.
In 1982, actor Boris Nevzorov, whose personal life at that time did not shine with bright colors, meets his second wife - Anastasia Ivanova. She became his muse, his support, his meaning of life. The couple had a daughter, Polina. After a happy event, the artistâs career went uphill: he starred in several successful projects and made his debut as a director. Boris Nevzorov and Anastasia Ivanova lived together until 1993. After that, the happy life of a talented couple was misfortune: the actorâs wife died during a robbery. Severely experiencing the loss, Nevzorov tried to start a new life. In this he was helped by his first love - Alla Panova. The actor met a woman in Sochi. Soon the couple registered a marriage. In 2010, Alla Panova and Boris Nevzorov divorced. The initiator was the spouse of the actor.
