Igor Beketov, aka Gosha Tarasevich, is a unique person. On the one hand, he is an actor of Russian cinema, and on the other, the leader of the political movement SERB. It would seem that two completely different opposites, but are connected in one person. In this article we will consider a detailed biography and ideology of the actor.
short biography
Igor Beketov grew up in Dnepropetrovsk. Born February 13, 1977. The craving for creativity and the scene was noted in the boy from early childhood, therefore, as a young man, Igor entered the theater school. For Beketov, the theater is a native place, like a house, where he practically spent all his free time. After the assassination of Boris Nemtsov, a Russian politician, Igor Vladimirovich Beketov postponed his acting career and founded the SERB movement in Ukraine. After a while, Beketov, along with other leaders and activists of the movement, fled to Russia.
An interesting fact: the actor’s parents worked as a military, so the whole family often moved with little Igor. That is how he got to Ukraine, where he spent many years.
Love for the stage
Anyone familiar with Russian cinema saw Igor Beketov on the screens. For example, in the famous series “Operation Puppeteer” (2013), where the actor played the role of a doctor.
As mentioned above, Beketov graduated from the theater school, and after 15 years received a diploma from the All-Russian State Institute of Cinematography, where he studied at the workshop of Yu. Nazarov and Yu. Kara. The total experience of the actor is almost 30 years. Throughout his life, Igor managed to work both in the Dnepropetrovsk Theater, and in the Bolshoi Theater of the Bolshoi Theater (Moscow), as well as with the Mosfilm studio.
Filmography
Throughout his life, Beketov played more than 15 roles in different films. The total number includes series, and feature films, and simple episodic roles, barely noticeable to the ordinary viewer. For example, in the TV series Interns, which was broadcast on TNT, Beketov played the role of a nervous and violent patient. It would seem a very short and unremarkable role, but after that the actor took part in almost 7 different projects, as he announced himself. Let's look at the filmography of the actor Gosha Tarasevich (I. Beketov):
- The series "Without a take." The actor was involved only in the pilot series. Beketov got the main role, where he played the nephew of the figure of the hero.
- The series "Balzac age, or all men are their ... 5 years later." Repeatedly appeared in episodes in the role of the groom of the main character.
- Detective reality show "Prosecutorial Verification", broadcast on NTV channel. This is a production series based on real events, where crimes and administrative violations are investigated. Tarasevich took part in three episodes in 2012 and 2013, playing the role of both the district police officer and the victim’s neighbor.
- A multi-part detective “Operation Puppeteer”, where the actor had the role of a doctor. Perhaps this is one of Beketov's most memorable roles, as the genre of the series attracts more and more viewers across Russia. The main idea of the series is that the chief investigator has a mystical gift that helps him solve crimes.
How Gosha Tarasevich appeared
Actor and leader of the SERB movement received dual citizenship in 2015. The name Igor came to Beketov from his parents at birth. Gosha Tarasevich appeared immediately after the organization of the political movement.
SERB movement: ideology
In his interviews, Gosha Tarasevich repeatedly said that the action itself was based on the fight against Ukrainian fascists. Immediately after the political conflict in Ukraine, the entire Beketov movement was subjected to persecution. As a result, activists along with leaders left the country.
Over the entire existence of the movement, Tarasevich repeatedly mentioned that his main idea was to promote the Russian world to the masses. He seeks to reduce insults against the president of Russia. Moreover, the action exists only on its own initiative, without the support of the Government of the Russian Federation. SERB is not a nationalist movement. An activist of the movement can be Kazakh, Russian, Ukrainian, and Jew. There are no limits and limits, because the main thing is a common goal and idea.
Why did Beketov change his activity?
Living in Dnepropetrovsk, Gosha Tarasevich was literally in the center of events. He was outraged that many politicians and activists began to be detained. This made the actor fight with the opposition. Fighting for the freedom of political prisoners, Tarasevich with other leaders, without expecting it, began to fight against the ukrofashists.
SERB is an abbreviation that hides the name "Southeast Russian block." Although initially the movement was called radical. Despite the fact that the leaders and activists had to flee from Ukraine, their movement continues to develop and still struggles with the opposition in Kharkov, Donetsk and Dnepropetrovsk. Beketov openly defends the rights of Crimea and supports the president of the Russian Federation. At the same time, the leaders of the movement do not rebel against such oppositionists as Navalny.
Financial support and other opposition
All the activities of Gosha Tarasevich is based on his own contributions. At the same time, SERB does not accept grants, which often lead to the breakdown of political movements. Also, leaders do not “block their breath” and do not fight either with Anti-Maidan or with NOD. All activities may or may not be carried out within the framework of the law, but all its activities have been created so as not to lead to the emergence of new political prisoners.
Interesting facts from life
Tarasevich sincerely loves Ukraine, because he spent most of his life in Dnepropetrovsk. In an interview, Igor said that as soon as the power in Ukraine changes, he will certainly return there. He saw in all conflicting events a completely different outcome that would help to avoid unnecessary war and ethnic hatred.
With the advent of SERB, the actor is repeatedly threatened. Although liberal oppositionists do not use force, they often try to intimidate Tarasevich with violence. Beketov was repeatedly attacked by opposition during the rally in 2015.
Beketov refuses to recognize himself as a 100% politician. His main occupation is acting, and the movement created is just a way to help people end the senseless war.
Public Opinion Against Tarasevich
Immediately after the events in Ukraine, many began to respond about Tarasevich as a third-rate actor who wanted to break into the masses. And the best way to make yourself known is an inter-ethnic military conflict. Many bloggers spoke of the SERB movement as an attempt to attract audience attention to their activities and to glorify their name. Whether this is true or not, we are unlikely to find out.
The fact remains. Events in Ukraine happened, the echo still drives many into tremors, actions against ukrofashists were carried out, and Beketov is still an actor who played even if he didn’t play the main roles in famous films, but repeatedly appeared on television screens.
