Vyacheslav Shalevich became famous many years ago, even when Soviet cinema was at the peak of its dawn. Then he starred in “Hockey Players”, “Virine”, “Seventeen Moments of Spring” and other equally interesting films. From the very first day of appearing on the stage or on the set, Vyacheslav Anatolyevich became a devoted servant of his profession. He was able to perceive the theater as a kind of extraordinary world, combining smiles and tears, joy and sorrow.
Childhood
His parents met in Minsk. Mom - Elena Ivanovna - then worked as a typist in the Ministry of Defense, and dad - Anatoly Ivanovich - was a general of the NKVD. It just so happened that at the time of the meeting, the father was in love with another woman, so the marriage with Elena was a kind of revenge on the other. Mom Slavika was in a position when she found out about this situation. Therefore, she went to Moscow to visit her sister. It was there that at the end of May 1934, her son was born, who after many years became a famous actor.
In childhood, Vyacheslav Shalevich hooliganed a lot. His aunt, trying to exert as much positive influence on him as possible, often took him to the theater so that the boy would join the world of art. As life has shown, she succeeded perfectly. Fame from an early age realized that he wanted to go on stage in performances.
Hello, Pike!
So, Vyacheslav Shalevich, whose biography is full of interesting and diverse roles, firmly decided to become an artist. But at the same time, he also liked journalism (and he had abilities for this type of activity). After receiving a school certificate, Slava filed documents at once in two educational institutions: the Pedagogical Institute and the Theater School. Schukin. As a result, the desire to become an actor won.
He was a third-year student when he became a regular participant in the extras of the Vakhtangov Theater. And a little later he played a role in the graduation performance of his classmate.
In 1958, after graduating from college, Shalevich asked for an audition on the stage of the Vakhtangov Theater. He liked the leadership, and the young guy was accepted into the troupe.
The debut role for him was the role of Ospan in the play "The Unwritten Law", where he played in tandem with Julia Borisova herself . The first appearance on the stage was successful. With the same partner, Vyacheslav Shalevich shared the stage in several productions. The young actor believed that he was just lucky with Borisova: playing with her was very easy.
Cinema Works
Vyacheslav Anatolyevich came to the world of cinema, studying in the fourth year. He was invited to the role of Schwabrin in “The Captain's Daughter”. This was the main negative character in the story. Oleg Strizhenov (the role of Grinev), who at that time was already a rather famous actor, played with him. At first, the director of the film doubted whether to leave Shalevich in the work, because between him and Strizhenov there was a certain external similarity. But then he decided that it would be better for the picture: two men love one woman, achieve her reciprocity, but in different ways. Due to the similarity, the difference in the characters' characters sparkles brighter.
Subsequently, the actor Vyacheslav Shalevich, whose films are still watched with inexhaustible interest, was shot a lot. And a lot of roles were major. For example, Nikolai Pavlovich Kutasov in "Red Square", Semyon Semenovich in "My Street", Alexander Shubarsky in "Notches for memory", Vladimir Ivanovich Sinelnikov in "Love of a middle-aged man." He also played in films-performances - “Guilty Without Guilt”, “Goblin”, “Flood” ...
Among the roles of the last decade, one can recall Grandfather from The Fighter, composer Krymov from The Lily of the Valley Silver 2, Alexei Kosygin from Brezhnev, Leonid Brezhnev from The Case of Grocery Store No. 1 ...
Quietly about personal
For the first time, Vyacheslav Shalevich entered into a legal union, being a first-year student at the school. He was friends with this girl since school. Fame was brought up in such a way that if you meet a girl, you must marry. When both grew up, we went to the registry office. But then Glory realized that love somehow quietly ended, leaving only a sense of duty.
They lived in a marriage for only half a month and divorced.
In the early 60s, Shalevich married again. This marriage lasted three years, a son appeared in it, but the couple broke up because Shalevich fell in love with the beauty of Soviet cinema Valentina Titova. This novel lasted several years, but it never ended in marriage: on the set of Snowstorm Titova met Vladimir Basov and married him.
His third wife was the fashion designer Galina, whom they accidentally met in a cafe. This marriage was the longest - 31 years. They had a son, Vanya. In the late 90s, Galina died, which was a blow for Vyacheslav.
Vyacheslav Shalevich experienced this loss for a long time. Personal life it only got better after a few years. His fourth wife also had nothing to do with art - she was a gynecologist. It was she, Tatyana Vinogradova, who helped Vanya overcome the craving for drugs. Her two children from a previous marriage were a kind of outlet for Shalevich. And in 2001, they had a common daughter - Anya.
Vyacheslav Shalevich passed away in December 2016.
