The life of the leading actor of the theater. Vakhtangov was interrupted at the peak of popularity. She looked like a beautiful movie script. The actor did not look like a strong jerk with huge biceps, no. He was a slender elegant romantic, a poet with huge eyes, curly hair, a soft, slightly ironic smile. For the cinema of recent decades, he was a huge find and a happy rarity. It was he, actor Alexei Zavyalov. The cause of death of this talented young man is still perplexing.
Tragedy in the sky
The best doctors of the capital tried to do everything in their power. But their skill was not enough to cure the consequences of serious injuries sustained by an actor who crashed during a parachute jump. This was his last jump. The eighth and last.
Actor Alexei Zavyalov, whose cause of death has been worrying his fans for more than four years, jumped perfectly, and he was also perfect for landing. And suddenly, just 20 meters from the ground, another paratrooper crashed into him. The actor fell from a great height, having received a serious injury to his head, abdomen, fractured both thighs, ribs, ischium, and torn internal organs. Doctors were surprised that they brought the young man alive to the hospital.
Before flight
Awaiting this flight, actor Aleksey Zavyalov, filmography which was replenished with new interesting roles, called his stage partner, Maria Aronova. He wanted to agree with her that after the end of the day he would come to her on the Volga. Then he phoned his mother-in-law, a friend Oleg. I dialed the numbers of several of my friends.
Only a few minutes pass, he rises into this blue and endless sky, which opens his arms to him. And everything went just fine. This fateful eighth jump was to serve as a kind of pass for moving to a higher, professional level. But at the last moment an irreparable tragedy happened.
Futility treatment
August 7, immediately from the airport near Kolomna he was taken to a hospital near Moscow, and three days later, on August 10, Zavyalov was transferred to the Institute. Sklifosovsky.
He needed an urgent blood transfusion. Many friends and colleagues in the theater tried as best they could to help Alexei.
Actor Alexei Zavyalov, whose cause of death terrified and numb even experienced parachutists, was in intensive care. Over the course of a month and a half, he underwent several operations. During one of them, the most severe, surgeons sutured the guy’s liver.
Munich or Sklif?
Everyone who was nearby at that moment began to decide on the transfer of Alexei to Germany, to the clinic in Munich, where he had once rescued a Russian bobsledder. Fundraising has already begun on several social networks. The proposal to hold an action in theaters was discussed. But ... Unfortunately, even the usual tomographic examination was impossible, because the actor Alexei Zavyalov, the cause of death which was just as scary as ridiculous, was not even subject to transportation to the neighboring department.
At Sklifosovsky, the doctor in the ward was surprised that the actor was brought alive to the hospital. He did not understand how this could happen. Over the next almost two months, Zavyalova collected pelvis by the bones. All this time he lived on an artificial respiration apparatus.
His only love
Almost two months after the unsuccessful eighth parachute jump, Zavyalov Alexei Borisovich tried to get out. All this time, his wife, Maria, was next to him. She tried to hold on, spoke in a very calm, even voice, instilling hope in her beloved husband for recovery.
Until the last days, he had a dotted consciousness, which changed several times. But Alex nevertheless recognized his wife and understood a lot. And Maria, trying to distract him from pain and worries, showed him videos with their children (they had two charming babies, the eldest was 10 years old at the time of the tragedy, the youngest was five). She took pictures of her children for her husband on the phone and brought them notes. He smiled, looking at his heirs. He still had a thin thread of consciousness for some time. Zavyalov could communicate with his wife with a healthy hand. The wife asked a question and understood his answer by a weak squeeze. And only in the last few days, Alex fell into a coma.
Masha was his first strong, all-consuming feeling. Never in the acting environment were rumors about Zavyalov’s novels. He was somehow very subtle, touching, romantic. Their marriage was one of the strongest among the artists. That's why Masha was especially hard after her Alyosha left forever.
Parting
All his colleagues believed that ahead of Alexei Zavyalov was a long life and an absolutely wonderful fate. After all, everything that was necessary for this, he had, and even in abundance: talent, easy irony, bright mind, become. He possessed incredible inner dignity. I never came to the theater in a bad mood. He crossed the threshold of the theater by the prince. Actually, on the stage he was him - Kazarin in "Masquerade", Prince Calaf in "Princess Turandot" ... Zavyalov never played commoners.
The theater promised Masha to save Alexei’s salary in order to somehow help her.
Recently, he starred little, as if being in some kind of search. But even so he did a lot: Roman Shestakov in “Kings of the Game”, Vladimir Zasukhin in “Women's Logic 3”, Adam Chartorysky in “Adjutants of Love”, architect Ilya Borisovich in “Atlantis”, Albert in “Zoe” ...
On the day of farewell to the actor in his native theater, only one door was opened through which an endless stream of people poured for farewell to his beloved actor. Everyone understood that fate is blind, and everyone can die from an accident. Never in this theater were there so many young faces on the wires.
The fact that actor Zavyalov Alexei crashed became known to the masses shortly after the tragedy happened. And no one could believe that this young and handsome, energetic and cheerful, graceful and elegant guy could die so suddenly.
On October 2, 2011, three days after his death, Alexei Borisovich Zavyalov was posthumously awarded the title of Honored Artist of the Russian Federation.
