A young actor, a budding rising star in musicals and cinema, Andrei Livanov was born and raised in a family of famous artists. Ahead of him, perhaps, was waiting for a successful career, but fate decreed otherwise. In the spring of 2015, Andrei’s life was tragically cut short.
A family
Actor Andrei Livanov was born in December 6, 1989. His parents are Igor Livanov and Irina Bakhtura (who used to be Igor’s student).
In 2000, when Andrei was 10 years old, the Livanov family broke up, and the boy himself remained with his mother. Soon, Irina married actor Sergei Bezrukov, who became Andrei's stepfather.
Despite breaking up with his father, Andrei Livanov continued to maintain warm relations with him. They loved to spend time together, traveled a lot. In a word, Igor Livanov tried to be a good father for Andrey and give him a proper upbringing.
Even when Andrei grew up, they still went out for a weekend to have fun. Both loved to go bowling and shooting.
With his stepfather, Sergei Bezrukov, Andrei also developed friendly relations. You could even say that it was Andrei who in some situations was the force that held the Bezrukov family together.
Education
Secondary education Andrei Livanov received while studying at an elite private institution called the Golden Section in Moscow. This school uses an individual approach in its program and focuses on the abilities of its students.
Sergei Bezrukov read his stepson a diplomatic career and suggested going to study at MGIMO, but Andrei chose to follow in the footsteps of his parents and become an actor. His first choice was the Moscow Art Theater School, where he enrolled in training courses.
Later it turned out that the guy was simply not interested in the classes, and he hardly went to them. Realizing that he was mistaken in the choice, Andrey took the documents and was going to radically change his profession - this time he was attracted by the Institute of Oriental Studies. But here, the young man did not last more than a year.
In the end, Andrei settled on the linguistic direction and received a diploma from Moscow State Open University. The actor’s father, Igor Livanov, explains Andrei’s throwing by the fact that he was simply not attracted to study.
Career
The acting biography of Andrei Livanov began at the age of 11, when he played one of the roles in the film "I am a Doll" by Yuri Kara. However, this first film work remained the most famous.
While studying at school, Andrei played in the musical “Nord-Ost” and showed promise as a talented actor. At the age of 17 he played in the adventure film “Rescuers. Eclipse".
Andrei also starred in the film “The Irony of Fate of Sergei Bezrukov,” a documentary project dedicated to his stepfather. On this cinematic career ended. Perhaps Andrei could become an orientalist and go to work in Japan, but he soon realized that he had little chance of succeeding among the children of diplomats, who were practically guaranteed employment. Then he nevertheless decided to connect his life with what was familiar and close to him since childhood - cinema and theater.
In 2014-2015, Andrei Livanov served as an administrator at the Moscow Provincial Theater.
Cause of death
In mid-March 2015, Andrei Livanov’s life was tragically cut short. They began to worry about him after a guy did not appear at work for several days. Phone calls also failed.

The premature death of the young actor gave rise to many rumors and speculations about the causes of his death. The investigation dismissed the version of the murder almost immediately, since nothing confirmed this possibility.
According to Andrei’s colleagues, shortly before his death, he called them and talked about feeling unwell. He later called an ambulance, but no one opened the door to the doctors. Only half an hour later, with the help of rescuers, they entered the apartment. By that time, Andrew was already dead.
Found a guy in the bathroom with syringes on the floor. This gave rise to the version that he died from an overdose of drugs. However, Andrei's parents deny this possibility. The fact is that for three years now he had been ill with diabetes, and drugs would have killed him instantly.
Igor Livanov said that shortly before his death, Andrei visited Vietnam, which could have a detrimental effect on his health and cause acute heart failure. This is also confirmed by the fact that, having returned from the trip, Andrei began to complain of fever and poor health.
The real cause of Andrei's death was a banal accident: the actor unsuccessfully fell, slipping, and hit his temple.
The body of Andrei Livanov was cremated at the request of his parents.
After the death of Andrew
Andrei Livanov’s mother, Irina Bezrukova, speaks with surprising warmth about her dead son and calls him the light of her life and best friend. She posted a photo of Andrei Livanov with warm words on her Instagram page. The woman hard survived his loss and decided to start living from scratch.
For Sergei Bezrukov, Andrei seemed to be the only reason to stay with Irina. Soon after the death of the stepson, the actor divorced his wife.
Igor Livanov, whose daughter tragically died before Andrei’s birth, also very seriously survived the loss of his son.
