00:00:13
popular; its sparkling jokes
00:00:16
still live among the people and of course the role of the
00:00:19
handsome director Arkady Gromov
00:00:22
played by Nikolai Cherkasov
00:00:25
is immediately remembered, it’s something
00:00:28
there, such happiness when the mountains are all here, there are
00:00:32
such great masters,
00:00:34
he was incredibly lucky with the title, which is
00:00:38
Deputy of the Supreme Council, laureate of the most
00:00:41
prestigious state awards,
00:00:43
actor, who had millions of cormorants, the
00:00:46
woman literally went crazy, looked at him with
00:00:51
such admiration and gratitude, not
00:00:55
forgetting to bow, and behind the outer
00:00:57
intelligence hid the persistent
00:01:00
character of a fighter all his life, he helped those
00:01:03
in need, was not afraid to stand up for the
00:01:06
repressed, knocked out the actor’s apartments
00:01:23
in the summer of 1939 year, on platform 1 of the
00:01:27
Far Eastern station, a
00:01:28
guard of honor was lined up, passengers of
00:01:31
passing trains asked about how you are being
00:01:33
met, they’re just eager to answer
00:01:35
Aleksandro-Nevskaya,
00:01:37
when Cherkasov got out of the carriage, he simply
00:01:40
couldn’t believe his eyes, he
00:01:42
was greeted as a high
00:01:44
statesman with military
00:01:46
honors, he was lucky to be a miner, he played not
00:01:50
very many, but such iconic
00:01:53
character and became a hero, the
00:01:56
people left and this is the film where he played
00:01:59
Alexander Nevsky,
00:02:00
today it is difficult to imagine the image of the
00:02:03
holy noble prince
00:02:05
exists in our culture in exactly the
00:02:09
created in the famous film of
00:02:11
Sergei Eisenstein,
00:02:13
but if anyone with a sword to it will come to us from the sword
00:02:17
and perish about this, the Russian land is worth and will stand, there
00:02:24
were a lot of disputes
00:02:26
that in general the historical ones are violated
00:02:29
not for this, but still this image is this
00:02:32
character and they won’t be able to screen it, they won’t cut it down
00:02:36
at all, it’s not that Alexander Nevsky
00:02:38
could only be like that but after all, Nikolai
00:02:41
Cherkasov himself considered himself a character
00:02:43
artist and did not believe that he could play
00:02:46
such a heroic personality, only
00:02:49
the desire to work with the great of Einstein
00:02:52
made him agree to save completely the
00:02:56
revival was lying around press him, he was
00:02:58
jealous because we all have to say
00:03:00
how the gap you were in the thirties over the
00:03:02
head of the great director clouds gathered,
00:03:05
his projects were subject to censorship, I was
00:03:08
no longer allowed to film him, his fate
00:03:10
hung in the balance, an
00:03:13
order for his arrest was already ready, but Stalin gave him one
00:03:17
last chance, and Alexander Nevsky became this chance,
00:03:21
it was his private battle on the ice, you are talking
00:03:26
about new games scene ice battle
00:03:29
was filmed in Moscow on the hottest days of
00:03:35
area of 32 thousand square meters
00:03:38
was sprinkled with sawdust and salt and for a
00:03:40
frosty shine they added naphthalene
00:03:42
bold and filled with liquid glass Lake Peipus
00:03:46
replaced the pond next to the cartoon
00:03:48
Al Din and was made of plywood and wood
00:03:50
painted in the white color of
00:03:52
all the participants in the battle was sprinkled with salt to
00:03:56
create the effect of Zaporozhye Nastya with snow the
00:03:58
salt got into the collar and corroded the
00:04:01
sweaty neck it was a very difficult shooting
00:04:05
and was destined to reach the jar of hearts of in
00:04:07
harmony with some fakes fur himself with cotton wool
00:04:10
to upset the consciousness did not lose consciousness and
00:04:13
then however the image The honor of the holy noble
00:04:16
prince turned out to be so significant
00:04:19
that in the most difficult days of the Great
00:04:21
Patriotic War, the Order of Alexander Nevsky,
00:04:23
abolished in 1917, was restored in the country.
00:04:29
It was awarded to the command staff of the Red
00:04:32
Army for special personal merits.
00:04:39
Nikolai Cherkasov to be placed on its front side. A very handsome actor, a
00:04:45
beautiful image. They all joined the order
00:04:47
correctly. logically, all the people know
00:04:50
to catch it all, well done, a
00:04:55
win-win move, and this is precisely the
00:04:57
courage, that strength, that
00:04:58
heroism and bravery that were
00:05:03
in Nikolai Cherkasov is, in
00:05:06
fact, confirmation that the film
00:05:08
really became a symbol of that time,
00:05:13
read a monologue from the film Alexander
00:05:16
my word will go firmly for years rubbed
00:05:21
against the artist I will be beaten for you another
00:05:27
life I will beat myself and then I will
00:05:30
punish my 1st son Nikolai Konstantinovich was
00:05:33
what is called an actor from God
00:05:36
films with his participation were stolen for
00:05:39
song from the film the children of Captain Grant
00:05:42
were broken by the whole country even Charlie Chaplin himself
00:05:46
saw Cherkasovsky Paganel could not
00:05:48
resist and sent a telegram Bravo
00:06:06
father was very musical he
00:06:09
loved to play he often played at home I
00:06:12
bad mood that he sat down at the
00:06:14
piano and took on the image of Don Quixote of the
00:06:20
noble knight and only slightly
00:06:23
eccentric window Lyuba
00:06:25
fought for justice all his life went
00:06:28
through fate Nikolai Cherkasov
00:06:30
I am a knight errant that I made a vow
00:06:40
that I would protect the disadvantaged and
00:06:46
many actors mystically listen
00:06:49
to their roles consider that they can
00:06:51
influence their lives for Nikolai
00:06:54
Cherkasov this unwritten acting law
00:06:56
turned out to be prophetic of course, he was in
00:07:01
many ways similar to Don Quixote stayed to
00:07:03
help always help people was very
00:07:06
kind never afraid of consequences
00:07:10
this is the shield and helmet from the film the blacksmith in
00:07:13
Don Quixote and here this is a copy of
00:07:16
Picasso’s painting Don Quixote my
00:07:18
father loved this very much this picture
00:07:21
when the famous director Grigory
00:07:23
Kozintsev in 1956
00:07:25
invited Cherkasov to play the main role
00:07:28
Nikolai Konstantinovich was already ill; he was
00:07:31
hampered by shortness of breath; sometimes it was difficult to talk
00:07:34
about the film; complex stunts were expected; he
00:07:37
hesitated, but they promised him that the scene at the
00:07:41
mill would be filmed in the studio;
00:07:42
the cut would go in the background and the mill itself would be
00:07:45
his; no more than human
00:07:48
height, however, during the filming of 50, the
00:07:52
four-year-old actor had to
00:07:55
spin for hours on the wings of a real windmill
00:07:58
tied upside down at a 16-meter
00:08:01
height; in addition, the terrible heat bothered
00:08:07
the actor angel that it
00:08:10
was quite possible to fry eggs on his iron armor due to the
00:08:14
complex make-up of the Cherkassy for For a 12-hour
00:08:17
shift, he couldn’t even afford to take off his
00:08:20
suit to have lunch in peace, and in
00:08:25
showed up in the kitchen and with such a
00:08:28
plaintive voice, the bank life still
00:08:30
has a soft and appropriate humor, he
00:08:33
addressed don’t feed the knight
00:08:42
the film Don Quixote triumphantly passed through the
00:08:45
screens of the world and even in his native country, the
00:08:48
noble knight played by
00:08:50
Cherkasov was accepted and recognized,
00:08:53
and who played Don Quixote like that when
00:08:56
Spain shouted bravo to the right of Sima to this
00:09:01
artist for the whole world, he said so,
00:09:04
but Kolya Cherkasov chose his acting fate
00:09:09
against the wishes of his own
00:09:13
in the family of a railway employee,
00:09:15
Konstantin Cherkasov,
00:09:17
the future of the eldest they saw their son completely
00:09:20
parents wanted the toad to become doctors, he
00:09:23
entered the amateur academy, he
00:09:25
dreamed of the theater, and now on the eve of
00:09:28
entering the military medical academy,
00:09:30
he was walking down the street and in front of him a tram
00:09:32
stabbed a man with blood, he almost lost
00:09:36
consciousness, he realized that all this was not
00:09:37
secretly from his strict father, Cherkasy
00:09:40
enters the stage of the Mariinsky
00:09:43
Theater, his duties included
00:09:46
standing modestly in the background in the crowd, but the
00:09:49
truth is that talent will always
00:09:52
break through, soon the young extra
00:09:55
caught the eye of Chaliapin himself, the
00:09:57
great base of the early 20th century,
00:10:00
there was a scene where Khalyapin must buy
00:10:04
a deer, the Japanese woman will let me out, but by
00:10:07
diverting attention to that there, it was to
00:10:10
wake up her hands, she came out to choose and with her hands she
00:10:12
hugged her hands back, they came to the
00:10:14
public x substitute from where in ours
00:10:17
you understand why such a reaction what ravil
00:10:19
learned to sing there and return with the
00:10:24
goal of I Colin turn around and run to him
00:10:28
before I was taken out of the theater, my father left in horror
00:10:30
and thought that it was all over, he was
00:10:32
invited to us another day for the summer to be
00:10:34
luxurious, did to tell the kingdom, the master
00:10:40
asked to show what my father was showing, I
00:10:43
started to tear off such a correct one, we
00:10:46
tear it off there, he was fiddling with his hands, he was torturing why do
00:10:48
anything, he couldn’t do it, how - it’s
00:10:49
strange, but then he finished the next phase,
00:10:53
so the young man, let’s
00:10:55
agree that you’re disturbing me and I won’t bother you,
00:10:58
this ridiculous story instilled in Cherkasov
00:11:01
self-confidence, he easily
00:11:03
entered the Institute of Performing Arts,
00:11:06
and soon his first success came along with
00:11:10
his with his classmates at the Institute of
00:11:12
Performing Arts, he did a
00:11:15
Charlie Chaplin act as a shocking parody
00:11:18
of the incredibly popular comic actors at that time,
00:11:24
funny and no one seemed to believe in it, but
00:11:27
anyway, it lasted 20 years
00:11:29
on the screen on stage.
00:11:33
what is called became a cult favorite especially
00:11:36
among young people and brought Cherkasov his first
00:11:39
good earnings no bags he didn’t shake he
00:11:43
swam in his profession that’s when
00:11:46
he mastered the dance to Charlie
00:11:49
Chaplin who approached him he was fed everywhere in general a lot
00:11:52
he performed with this amazingly but the image is
00:11:55
awkward in this determined
00:11:58
Cherkasov’s personal life as well,
00:11:59
lately I’ve been thinking about such love
00:12:13
at one of the parties,
00:12:15
he met his future wife and his mother
00:12:18
was at some party with her
00:12:21
who asked with someone where to
00:12:24
sit with a beautiful or rich master’s
00:12:27
table with fire, here I am they put her behind her father, the
00:12:30
young actress, not a new professional, didn’t immediately
00:12:33
recognize in the embarrassed, awkward neighbors that
00:12:36
plastic one who performed
00:12:39
amazing tricks on stage, but Cherkasov
00:12:42
burned Nina with his naivety and inability to
00:12:45
adapt to everyday life
00:12:50
one day he came to her on a date in a
00:12:54
she was surprised killed that he was a bastard, he
00:12:57
bought it on the occasion of a pop singer, she don’t
00:13:00
listen, but he was already a woman
00:13:02
Cherkasov himself was surprised that this was noticeably not
00:13:05
divorced from her first husband, she married
00:13:09
Cherkasov and quickly took everything into her
00:13:11
practical hands, she was half
00:13:15
so we were skillfully put in order was everything
00:13:18
looked in everything worked like a clock
00:13:22
look at the opposite but if the family had to
00:13:26
come to terms with the fact that the son did not become a doctor
00:13:29
before his marriage with the divorced Nina
00:13:31
had to be hidden in according to the old concepts
00:13:34
it was considered the height of indecency the
00:13:37
father had a very stern disposition all he and his
00:13:40
mother did not recognize the vessel for a long time they
00:13:43
appeared only they weren’t afraid
00:13:45
after graduating from the Institute of Performing
00:13:48
Arts, Nikolai Cherkasov’s career
00:13:50
quickly went uphill, he joined the
00:13:53
troupe of the famous Pushkin Theater
00:13:56
many artists snorted in the wings, why should a
00:14:01
actor x center practically a clown be
00:14:05
jealous, maybe I don’t know actors are
00:14:10
such a people? so he played as he
00:14:14
played for me, but I could, too,
00:14:18
although we are waiting, however, soon the envious people were forced to
00:14:21
shut up Cherkasov fully showed
00:14:24
himself as a profound dramatic artist,
00:14:27
national fame fell on
00:14:29
Cherkasov after the film, a
00:14:31
Baltic deputy once in the corridors of
00:14:34
Lenfilm, director Alexander Zarkhi gave
00:14:37
Nikolai a read Konstantinovich, the
00:14:39
script for a new film, maybe you’ll find
00:14:42
some role for yourself, the young actor
00:14:45
was fired up to play the role of the old man,
00:14:47
the professor, my king didn’t really give it
00:14:51
giving a 35-year-old
00:14:54
actor the role of a 75-year-old scientist, I thought
00:14:58
that it would be like a home theater for the sake of
00:14:59
when a person hangs a mustache and a beard
00:15:02
is to portray an old man from
00:15:06
Cherkassy, Becker, you start Polezhaev,
00:15:09
can anyone, since he is a
00:15:13
play a deep, smart, kind old man, a
00:15:17
a film in which the old regime
00:15:20
believed the Bolsheviks on the scientist and eventually
00:15:22
became a deputy; it
00:15:23
turned out to be so popular that,
00:15:26
willy-nilly, the actor had to try it on
00:15:28
the role of a deputy in his own life
00:15:44
was impossible to refuse, I’m afraid, you know,
00:15:47
he was offered to run by the
00:15:49
Supreme Council of the combo, a very
00:15:50
responsible person, he helped people a lot,
00:15:53
well, he saw this as his month, he
00:15:56
let everything pass through himself, he couldn’t refuse those
00:15:59
who turned to him for help even
00:16:01
if it was not easy to do, they say
00:16:04
one day a woman with a small child came to him
00:16:09
because her husband kicked her out of the
00:16:11
Cherkassy apartment all day, he drove his car
00:16:14
to officials until he resolved the issue, otherwise the
00:16:18
dog was in trouble, gather all the people who like their
00:16:19
husbands a helmet at home Larin come on
00:16:23
stadium Cherkasov’s reckless courage
00:16:25
amazed even seasoned people at a
00:16:28
time when Stalin’s close associates
00:16:31
were afraid to ask him even to his own
00:16:33
wife Nikolai Cherkasov stood up for
00:16:37
people he didn’t know very well and therefore
00:16:40
many people turned to him; one actor, for example, on the
00:16:43
way to the camp, managed to throw him out trains a
00:16:45
letter for Cherkasov,
00:16:47
people raised this mother with about gas, his
00:16:50
father got him, his name was generally fantastic,
00:16:54
because he could actually approach Stalin
00:16:57
at some reception and banquet and say, in
00:17:03
for 90 percent there, you could be
00:17:06
sure that his request would be heard
00:17:09
but this special trust of the leader in him was
00:17:13
far from disinterested; Stalin understood
00:17:15
that the audience’s love for the actor could be
00:17:18
converted into hard political
00:17:21
During the war, Cherkasy received an important
00:17:24
state order to play Ivan the
00:17:27
Terrible in the film of the same name by Sergei
00:17:31
on the one hand, this role became one of the
00:17:33
most significant in world
00:17:35
cinema, on the other hand, made Cherkasov an
00:17:39
involuntary accomplice to a tragic
00:17:41
story in 1941, even before the siege
00:17:46
ring closed, the Pushkin
00:17:49
theater in which the artist worked with his
00:17:52
evacuated from Leningrad to Novosibirsk,
00:17:55
however, in the Cherkasov family there was an eldest
00:17:58
13-year-old daughter about whom only
00:18:00
a few knew close friends
00:18:02
she was, well, crazy, not from cars, she
00:18:07
impossible to communicate, she could
00:18:09
suddenly scream there, hit somewhere, she
00:18:11
was like that, that’s why she
00:18:14
was in the oak hospital, she was in the arms of
00:18:16
Cherkasov’s wife, she
00:18:17
had a one-year-old son, a long way across the
00:18:20
country to he frightened the woman in the train and the family
00:18:24
makes a difficult decision regarding the
00:18:26
eldest daughter and when the evacuation of a friend
00:18:30
came and was left there, well, I think all
00:18:32
this is not for long, you understand, bathe your
00:18:35
nose for a long time during the blockade, the girl
00:18:38
died from a terrible feeling of guilt, Egor
00:18:41
Nina Nikolaevna was saved by a small child
00:18:43
to go to his daughter’s funeral they could not,
00:18:46
escaping from the epidemic in besieged
00:18:49
Leningrad, people were buried hastily and in mass graves,
00:18:53
but Cherkasov rushes to the
00:18:55
city surrounded by the Nazis to help those still alive, he
00:18:59
considered his unpaid debt to his
00:19:02
theater of Novosibirsk and he flies
00:19:06
Nikolai Konstantin Cherkasov flies to
00:19:09
Leningrad they fly to the Baltic fleet
00:19:13
here he comes here to come to them
00:19:16
to support with his concert, but he
00:19:19
goes to the front line not in besieged
00:19:22
Leningrad, and even documents have been preserved
00:19:24
related to how he shared his own cards with Leningrad;
00:19:37
someone fainted from hunger
00:19:40
so that the extras would not eat the food from the royal
00:19:43
table; they smeared it with kerosene. Cherkassy
00:19:46
seemed not to leave the set
00:19:49
sometimes and Khinshtein sent the artist
00:19:52
to sleep; Stalin was waiting for films in which he
00:19:56
wanted to explain to the viewer during the testing years, the
00:19:58
country needed a firm hand and here he was
00:20:02
Leaning on the staff,
00:20:04
he thought about something about something very
00:20:07
important and scary, probably for himself
00:20:11
Episode 1 of the film, the main viewer really
00:20:14
liked it, a scandal broke out when
00:20:26
Stalin was shown the second episode, they say
00:20:29
that during the Kremlin screening in the
00:20:31
hall, the elevator operator was afraid to move when the
00:20:44
lights were turned on, Stalin cut off
00:20:46
not a movie like a nightmare Busan he loves
00:20:50
grass such an image of Ivan the Terrible there
00:20:53
because in the second episode there are a lot of
00:20:56
he is tormented soon
00:20:58
a resolution appeared to ban the film and
00:21:01
then Nikolai Cherkasov
00:21:03
wrote a letter to Stalin asking for a
00:21:05
meeting father because I really believe in what is
00:21:07
called socialist justice
00:21:10
3 months after the letter, Nikolai
00:21:13
Konstantinovich still
00:21:15
invited Eisenstein and Cherkasov to
00:21:18
conversation turned out to be difficult, Stalin accused him
00:21:22
of historical ignorance because of Stein, and
00:21:25
this threatened me with a ban on the profession, even
00:21:28
something worse than Cherkasov, but he praised
00:21:31
the image of the formidable,
00:21:32
he liked it, I thought transcripts of his
00:21:35
conversation with Stalin, he seems to
00:21:38
have achieved that they decided to finalize this second
00:21:44
Yasin Shtein and Cherkasov out of the Kremlin,
00:21:46
inspired, it seemed they could
00:21:49
work further, but fate had its
00:21:53
soon and Khinshtein number he was only
00:21:56
50 years old during the civil war funeral service for
00:22:00
Sergei Einstein ufc aces approached the coffin and
00:22:02
knelt down, the minister of cinematography immediately approached him
00:22:09
but about the prison he said move away and continued to
00:22:15
stand on whether he understood that the great
00:22:19
ruined by power, whether his
00:22:21
attitude towards Stalin has changed
00:22:23
today no one knows this let's say she
00:22:27
loved her father very much, is her father
00:22:29
represented in this, he was lonely even in his
00:22:33
Nina Nikolaevna, who
00:22:36
supported her husband in everything, in relation to the leader, she
00:22:39
irreconcilably antisa line with when
00:22:42
this is true, she was all an intelligent woman and
00:22:45
in general this is all even I heard
00:22:48
some echoes of scandals in
00:22:53
an apartment in a prestigious house on
00:22:57
Important Leningrad bosses lived here in Soviet times. It’s
00:23:02
that after the end of the blockade, the
00:23:04
family of the laureate of 5 Stalin
00:23:07
Prizes, deputy of the Supreme Council,
00:23:10
actor Nikolai Cherkasov, today
00:23:14
Nikolai’s descendants live in this apartment, preserving its spirit.
00:23:17
Cherkasova’s great-grandson even dreams of becoming
00:23:20
an artist, even if it’s an artist just like
00:23:23
like my father, it’s bad to study at school one
00:23:28
to one, there’s still snow here and things, this is
00:23:33
this is from the film Ivan the Terrible, too, we’ll
00:23:36
break it, it’s some kind of us
00:23:38
some kind of people standing behind Stein Ovskaya, well,
00:23:41
Omsk props Cherkasova’s wife Nina
00:23:44
Nikolaevna became a real
00:23:46
guardian angel of the actor
00:23:50
and the mother was fully supported by trying,
00:23:52
she built luck in Komarovo there on
00:23:55
father could always come after he was tired and
00:23:58
Nina Nikolaevna did
00:24:00
not particularly care about her career, it was considered that
00:24:02
one talented actor is enough for a family, an
00:24:05
anagram of the river role is very
00:24:08
good, their family could be called
00:24:11
ideal for 30 years of marriage,
00:24:14
no betrayals despite the wild
00:24:16
popularity of Cherkasov,
00:24:18
there is not a single fact that
00:24:21
I could somehow start to be ashamed of, well,
00:24:23
surprised, so to speak absolutely
00:24:26
no information from women, but
00:24:31
this prosperous family also had its own
00:24:34
skeletons in the closet,
00:24:35
seriously ill 1 drowning, the second girl
00:24:38
died during childbirth
00:24:40
only 12 years after the wedding, a son, Andrei, was born,
00:24:44
but despite the fact that the father was a deputy
00:24:47
and a screen star, the
00:24:48
son was not spoiled, I was raised
00:24:51
quite harshly there was no unnecessarily roof there
00:24:54
was only that the mother for her
00:24:56
peace of mind and was taken to school by car
00:25:00
Nikolai Konstantin Che was one of the
00:25:02
few traveling actors the
00:25:03
country lived behind the Iron Curtain and
00:25:07
Cherkasov traveled freely throughout America
00:25:11
acquaintances were jealous and did not believe that for
00:25:14
Nikolai Konstantinovich and it was a
00:25:16
burden, he spent so much effort on
00:25:19
public work, well, of course, this word is
00:25:21
detrimental to creativity somewhere, constant
00:25:23
business trips abroad as part of a
00:25:27
he and Matty, he all loved to travel and
00:25:29
where we were all surprised there 5 we need to go
00:25:33
somewhere to try a film festival
00:25:35
he he didn’t like to eat he killed at home Putin killed
00:25:38
hunting very much accept and this is all a huge
00:25:41
force he was ill with the right because of this but he
00:25:45
Cherkasov became the calling card of the country of the
00:25:48
Soviets and no one could replace him in this capacity
00:25:51
Cherkasov was extremely
00:25:59
he was adored by women of all ages when the
00:26:03
book of Cherkassy
00:26:05
and I was still a very young lady then
00:26:08
lived on Petrogradskaya when the poker room was going on,
00:26:13
I remember how, in
00:26:16
general, the avenue stopped, the
00:26:21
woman looked around with what admiration,
00:26:24
and it’s hard to imagine that
00:26:27
he himself was very critical of his
00:26:31
he was embarrassed everyone's attention, he is ready to
00:26:34
somehow quickly quickly pass unnoticed,
00:26:36
even shrinks somewhat
00:26:39
in everyday life, he preferred micro
00:26:41
meddling, did not like social receptions with
00:26:44
the making of empty conversations and cared little
00:26:48
about a spectacular appearance, even his own
00:26:51
wife, seeing her husband on the set in the
00:26:54
armor of Alexander Nevsky, said
00:26:59
how handsome you are, Prince Dad, there will be no
00:27:05
lights out on the contrary, this is how you use them
00:27:08
in it, the floor was washed for you, the windows were cleaned,
00:27:11
everything else was cleaned with an
00:27:12
attack on the texture, capable of decorating any
00:27:15
film; many directors dreamed of it; even
00:27:21
Grigory Alexandrov, who was very famous for his film Spring, decided to
00:27:23
get it at all costs the famous artist
00:27:26
Alexander really really wanted to cast
00:27:29
Orlova, he needed us to
00:27:33
create a team for her to find out your experience of an
00:27:36
Cherkasova shone there, I didn’t
00:27:38
want to take on the passing role of the
00:27:40
hero-lover and she could play a
00:27:45
perhaps the court of which the game is
00:27:47
supposedly the hero there are some
00:27:50
people dragging around there making funny faces they are
00:27:54
surprised there they are also showing
00:27:57
however Lyubi Orlova desperately needed a
00:27:59
bright charismatic partner she
00:28:02
invited Chita Cherkasov to her dacha
00:28:05
in Vnukovo we came to Karlova’s dacha iq
00:28:08
Alexandrova so she knelt down that in
00:28:11
general the film would be wonderful we
00:28:15
we promise against such a reception the star at the feet of
00:28:19
Nikolai Konstantinych will not resist the sum;
00:28:22
besides, Alexandrov promised that the
00:28:24
actor would be able to go to the shooting with
00:28:27
his wife; it’s unlikely that
00:28:30
he would shoot the picture in Czechoslovakia; he would go to
00:28:32
Czechoslovakia with his wife; it turned out that everything
00:28:34
worked out just fine;
00:28:37
pleasant company is about to
00:28:41
torture you in your eyes, let's fix it and
00:28:44
now look at me and declare your
00:28:47
love to me and an alluring thing, but almost immediately
00:28:54
after the end of filming, trouble struck on the
00:28:57
way to the airport, the car in which
00:28:59
Alexandrov Orlova Cherkasov was traveling
00:29:02
crashed, the director and his wife got off
00:29:05
lightly frightened Nikolai Cherkasov,
00:29:08
in general, suffered the most; there was a
00:29:12
facial injury; rumors are still persistently
00:29:19
Cherkassy himself was driving
00:29:24
however, the son of Nikolai Konstantinovich
00:29:26
said that the actor did not drive the
00:29:30
book; the driver braked the book, which took them
00:29:34
to the dacha to the theater;
00:29:36
however, soon the scars on the face clamp the trouble
00:29:40
came from where they were not expecting the accident
00:29:43
provoked the development of a pulmonary disease
00:29:46
when Spring came out on the screens it immediately
00:29:49
became a cult but did not bring joy to the actor himself
00:29:53
Niccolo Konstantin clearly empathized
00:29:58
and regretted teaching himself he said so I didn’t
00:30:01
want many colleagues contemporaries
00:30:03
recognized the director as
00:30:05
Arkady Groma we features of
00:30:07
Cherkasov's beloved Sergei Eisenstein,
00:30:11
maybe stop talking in 1953,
00:30:17
Stalin died in the country, the year began now for
00:30:20
Cherkasov, a black streak came for Cherkasov,
00:30:23
illusions collapsed, the actor was morally
00:30:26
crushed, his father had two shocks, the
00:30:28
first was the death of Stalin and the second even
00:30:32
more terrible shock was the 20th
00:30:36
then laurent revelations of the cult of
00:30:38
personality people who had recently
00:30:41
closed in front of him tried to join the pub with him
00:30:43
in a common company, introduced friendship,
00:30:46
recoiled from Cherkasov, he was registered as an
00:30:50
inveterate Stalinist, he was not some kind of rabid
00:30:53
Stalinist, he was not
00:30:56
a satrap and a servant there, which means he didn’t
00:31:00
shine towards great and what did you give him to
00:31:02
some kind of order, it brought Cherkasov
00:31:05
less and less joy such a great
00:31:07
artist was closely within the framework of the roles
00:31:10
that he had to play, well, it was
00:31:13
reserved for some kind of
00:31:16
stasis Popova Gorky there it was all
00:31:20
playing monuments as he said few people
00:31:23
understood that his true passion always
00:31:26
remained only art; as soon as the
00:31:29
censorship barrier was weakened,
00:31:30
he was able to break through the play of the rich, which had long been banned in the
00:31:47
will look and say his opinion,
00:31:49
you understand, bring your favorite
00:31:56
so it’s a pleasure to defend this role
00:31:59
Cherkasy brilliantly played the White Guard
00:32:05
defeat come Mr. Handsome
00:32:09
Sevastopol and tell the rear
00:32:12
nits to pack their suitcase and the Reds
00:32:14
tomorrow they will say and the
00:32:18
entire auditorium of 1000 people in the Alexandrinsky
00:32:21
Pushkin Theater then I get up,
00:32:25
stand up and stand and he tears up stands in his eyes
00:32:34
and looks at them, forgive him for the
00:32:38
atrocities that took place, for the horror of this
00:32:41
terrible civil war, ask, he
00:32:44
still remained a deputy of the
00:32:46
Supreme Council, he still
00:32:50
committees and tried as best he could to help
00:32:52
people, let’s say we find out that a man lived
00:32:57
from the hands and the apartment trudged along and we
00:32:59
asked why they moved, he moved
00:33:01
the car in this way, and there were plenty of Cherkasy people,
00:33:04
but the strength remained less and less, his health
00:33:09
despite the doctors’ prohibitions, the actor smoked a lot
00:33:12
during long stage monologues, he
00:33:15
began to choke, winter is it easy to
00:33:19
draw to function and the world is dividing
00:33:23
part of the lungs when he was healthy
00:33:28
he would come to the theater almost with a smile
00:33:36
but I saw in other films when
00:33:40
health did not allow him to do this he was
00:33:43
very tough even not very pleasant
00:33:47
near the panel sharp
00:33:51
in the early 1960s young director Georgy
00:33:55
Natanson decided to transfer the play to the screen,
00:33:58
everything remains for people, it would seem that the main
00:34:01
role of Professor Dronov should have been
00:34:04
played by Cherkasov, who successfully
00:34:06
performed it in the theater, however, at the artistic
00:34:09
council of Lenfilm, Cherkasov was declared to be a
00:34:12
creative trope as we do not shine as
00:34:17
strange people, doctors love sick
00:34:21
us, but we don’t succeed and only
00:34:24
Nathanson's persistence
00:34:26
allowed Cherkasov to play the last
00:34:28
leading role in a movie,
00:34:30
which became his testament, no one
00:34:34
could think that the role of Tronov's
00:34:36
theme everything remains for people will become the last
00:34:40
role of my husband,
00:34:41
now in drones they are looking for similarities with Cherkassy, they
00:34:46
drones are also building the
00:34:51
same gesture and that the same step is also joking and
00:35:00
he was then worse ill and also
00:35:07
and maybe hid his illness left
00:35:11
remains for people
00:35:22
and in this remaining my
00:35:35
things he was given this role
00:35:38
for which we will receive the Lenin Prize the
00:35:40
concert was very a high award at that
00:35:43
time, however, literally 2 months
00:35:46
after the triumph, a catastrophe happened. The father
00:35:50
came to the theater at the end of the morning. He found in the
00:35:53
list of actors who were pouring ponies with seduction and fooled by his
00:35:58
It was like a bolt from the blue; the wife
00:36:02
whom he sincerely loved all his life, with
00:36:05
whom he had been together for 30 years. worked in the
00:36:07
theater Nikolai Konstantinovich from the Greeks was put on the street,
00:36:11
I gave up that he would also write
00:36:13
a statement in response, the director of the theater
00:36:16
coldly agreed and he left this
00:36:20
scene with which so much insight was associated with so much
00:36:23
happiness and victories, he
00:36:26
lay at home on the couch for a week that she did not
00:36:30
communicate discs he is great the artist was
00:36:32
fired from the theater and was dying of melancholy and
00:36:35
no one from that huge stadium where the Stonog
00:36:38
shooting gallery wrote
00:36:40
helped Cherkassy himself
00:36:46
in a friendly way
00:36:56
I can’t answer this question
00:37:01
why they were silent why I don’t know
00:37:05
this is a classic first you kiss,
00:37:12
you choose, and as soon as you staggered or they
00:37:14
stopped filming there or is it a reward,
00:37:17
everything at once somehow dissolves in its own
00:37:20
dying, he was very seriously delirious, he kept trying
00:37:23
to go to his favorite
00:37:26
theater, his wife, who had betrayed him, calmed him down, the performance
00:37:33
whole city gathered for his funeral, the entire Nevsky finished the garrosh
00:37:37
when they buried Cherkasov, it was a
00:37:40
nationwide era, as if they were burying
00:37:44
statesman on the day of
00:37:46
his father’s funeral, the English actors did not play the
00:37:49
play, they buried one of the last ones
00:37:51
then they drank in the Alexander Nevsky Lavra
00:37:55
Andre Nevsky Lavra, where Alexander
00:37:58
lies today, many films with the participation of
00:38:02
Nikolai Cherkasov
00:38:03
have become classics and are most often watched by a
00:38:07
narrow circle of specialists,
00:38:09
but it is amazing that the images played by the
00:38:12
actor are alive Alexander Nevsky
00:38:15
Ivan the Terrible, do we imagine them in a
00:38:19
about such a testament any artist could
