The name of the famous musician and performer Igor Talkov is known to all contemporaries. But few people know that he has an older brother Vladimir Talkov. He was named after his father. Just like Igor, Vladimir is very talented and he proved himself in various fields of activity. All the professions that he tried to master were creative. The brothers inherited the talent from their parents. What is he, Vladimir Talkov? The biography of a talented sculptor deserves attention. Both brothers are shown in the photo below: Vladimir - second from the left, Igor - second from the right.
Hard childhood
In 1953 (April 14) Vladimir Talkov was born, he was the firstborn in the family. The conditions in which he was born were not luxurious. His parents were political prisoners and were serving time in the Kemerovo region. His mother had German roots, and his father was a descendant of a White Guard officer. Parents were talented people, and even in prison participated in amateur performances. So we met. It was in the prison hut that Vladimir Talkov was born. Life here was not easy, the boy was ill with serious illnesses. Then his grandmother took him for a while. When the parents freed, the village of Gretsovka, in the Tula Region, became the place of refuge for the family. Here, the younger brother Igor was already born.
The formation of the brothers
The first guitar teacher for Igor was precisely his elder brother Vladimir. In addition to music, the young man tried his hand at boxing and gymnastics. Then he spent two years in the army service, which took place in Kyrgyzstan. Vladimir Talkov twice became a real savior (twice Igor almost died: from electric shock and after youthful games). Igor Talkov also became famous not without the participation of his older brother. The director of the Lifebuoy group and the lighting master was precisely Vladimir Talkov. The photo above demonstrates his involvement in show business.
After killing brother
The news of Igor’s death overtook Vladimir in Hamburg, where he was on vacation. Since then, he no longer worked as a producer, although he had offers. He began to search further himself, already in other directions. Vladimir has been looking for his way for a long time, almost his whole life. Igor even had a song dedicated to the long searches of Vladimir. In it, the singer wonders why his talented brother will not find himself in any way.
Assistant Vyacheslav Klykov
Life unexpectedly brought Vladimir Talkov with the famous sculptor Vyacheslav Klykov. He invited him to learn this painstaking art. The sculpture was very carried away by Vladimir, he quickly learned all the subtleties and collaborated with Klykov. Vladimir Talkov became a participant in the construction of many famous monuments. The sculptor from it turned out wonderful. The prototypes for his sculptures were such celebrities: Prince Vladimir, Marshal Zhukov, Peter Stolypin, Ilya Muromets.
Filming
Vladimir Talkov also tried himself as an actor. He brilliantly played the role of Lesha in the movie "Pimp Hunt." The music for this film was also written by Igor Talkov. The role is secondary, but the film very subtly betrays the senseless and merciless 90s of the last century.
In 1991, Vladimir played a small role in the film "Beyond the End." The picture very clearly shows the "era of racketeers." The young boxer had to sit in prison, and after his release he had no choice but to become a robber. In addition, one of the roles in the film was played by Igor Talkov.
In 2007, Vladimir starred in the thriller "Trackman". In an abandoned subway hosted the Trackman. Once three robbers get here. Further events are very mysterious. Pretty good Russian horror movie.
The appearance of Vladimir allowed him to undergo a casting for the role of Ivan the Terrible. He was also often invited to the shooting of memoirs about Igor Talkov. Vladimir provided a lot of materials for creating documentaries about his famous brother.
Personal life, books, producing
Personal life of Vladimir Talkov was successful: he married and the couple had two sons. The family did not begin to change traditions, and the older boy was named Vladimir. Now Talkov invests a lot in the education of his youngest son.
When the teacher and mentor Talkova, sculptor Klykov died , Vladimir abandoned art and again began to engage in producing. This time, his ward was Nikolai Emelin (singer-bard). Vladimir very professionally organized concert programs for a talented artist.
Talkov’s mother, Olga Yuryevna, encouraged Vladimir to write a book of memoirs about his deceased famous brother. A wonderful book entitled "The Way of the Cross by Igor Talkov" was published. In it, Vladimir writes with great warmth and love about his brother, very subtly reveals all aspects of his personality.
