Years go by, the world changes, but one thing remains eternal - art. The legacy of cinema and theater, music and literature, painting and architecture - all this wealth is stored and transmitted from generation to generation. Do not forget about those people who created these values: sculptors, writers, poets, artists and others - a piece of their soul will forever remain in the created works. One of such talented masters of his craft is actor Lev Borisov. The biography of the national figure of Russia totals 77 years. He died before reaching the 78th anniversary of his birth for 3 weeks.
Childhood and vocation
The actor was born on December 8, 1933 in the city of Ples, located in the Ivanovo region. The biography of Lev Borisov has developed just like that with the participation of his older brother Oleg. The parents of the boys were associated with agriculture: my mother worked as an agronomist, and my father was the head of the agricultural college. The youngest son received his name in honor of the great Russian writer Leo Tolstoy.
The war has begun. It was a difficult time for the country. Father Ivan goes to the front. Mother with children goes through evacuation. First they leave for Alma-Ata, then for Yaroslavl, and after it for Moscow.
The biography of Lev Borisov could have developed completely differently, since his only passion in childhood was football. However, together with his brother, he attends a drama club. After the war, Oleg entered the Moscow Art Theater School, which he graduated in 1951. Then he goes to the stage of the Kiev Drama Theater, named after Lesya Ukrainka.
Theater life
The younger Borisov follows in the footsteps of his brother, only makes his choice in favor of the Shchukin school. He is taking the course of V. Lvov. In 1956, holding the coveted diploma in his hands, the newly made actor was invited to the stage of the Cinema Actor Theater. He worked there for four years. Then came the Drama Theater, to which the artist gave fourteen years. The artist shared the following similar amount of time equally. The first part he gave the theater to them. Ostrovsky, and the second - to the theater to them. Stanislavsky. His longest “romance” with the scene began in 1987. It was then that the biography of Lev Borisov is enriched with the last (in relation to the theater) place of work. It was the Moscow Theater Center. M. N. Ermolova.
Film career
The actor’s first debut in the movie was his episodic participation in the youth film “Certificate of Maturity”. This picture appeared on the big screen in 1954. He began to act actively, only his roles were small. The artist can be recognized in such films as “Ballad of a Soldier”, “Shirley-myrli”, “Whose are you, old man?”, “And Aniskin again.” In the film "The Gardener" Borisov Lev Ivanovich played in tandem with his brother, at that time a very popular actor.
The artist gained real fame after entering the screens of the multi-part painting “Gangster Petersburg”. One cannot but agree that although the actor has been acting for a very long time, the love of the public for him came at a fairly mature age. Thanks to this series, the biography of Lev Borisov brings to its pages the delightfully fulfilled role of the antibiotic authority respected in criminal circles by the actor.
