Vinokur, Vladimir Natanovich

Born March 31, 1948 in Kursk in a Jewish family.

His father, Natan Lvovich Vinokur (1919-1995) ^[3] was a well-known builder in Kursk, his mother, Anna Yulievna Vinokur (January 1, 1922 - August 6, 2018), taught Russian language and literature in high school, died at 96 years old. ^[4] . The eldest brother, Boris Natanovich Vinokur (1944–26 July 2010), was a builder as a father, then an entrepreneur in the construction industry and also organized tours of artists, lived in Kursk, died in Moscow after a heart operation, and an abnormal heat led to his death. ^{[5] [6]}

In 1962, he was resting on a ticket to the Artek pioneer camp. There he took part in an international competition, sang the " Buchenwald Nabat " composer Vano Muradeli and became a laureate, receiving a gold medal from the hands of the first cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin . ^[7]

In 1963-1967 he studied at the Kursk technical college, along the way, studied at the evening conducting-choral department of the music school. In the last year of study, he made an attempt to enter GITIS , went “vividly” in three vocal tours, but, having no documents about completed secondary education, he left the further competition. In the same year he was drafted into the army, served in the song and dance ensemble of the Moscow Military District in Moscow.

In 1969, while still in military service, he entered GITIS . From 1973 to 1975, he combined his studies with work in a circus on Tsvetnoy Boulevard , where he performed songs (in particular, the song "Comrade KamAZ" ^[8] ) and met Yuri Nikulin . In the fourth year, the chief director of the Moscow Operetta Theater, Georgy Ansimov, invited Vinokur to himself, and he played many roles there in two years.

In 1974, on the recommendation of pianist Mikhail Bank, Yuri Malikov invited the artist to his popular VIA Samotsvety , where Vinokur performed the mock soliloquy Misfire, in the story of which the character of Vinokur invited a girl to his house and, to impress her, they say, these are my friends - I left the apartment, after which I called home from a pay phone and began to speak with her with the voices of popular artists - Vladimir Vysotsky , Anatoly Papanov , Muslim Magomayev and Nikolai Slichenko . At the end of the issue he was asked a question - so how did it end? It turned out that the girl married Gennady Khazanov (whom Vinokur also spoiled). ^[9]

In 1977 he became a laureate of the All-Russian contest of pop artists, speaking with a monologue by Leonid Yakubovich "About the foreman Kovalchuk." Since then, he began a solo career, performed on the most important stages of the country, traveled abroad as part of official delegations.

He performed at private concerts for party leaders. Once, as Levon Oganezov said ,

Vinokur was invited to Brezhnev at the banquet to show parodies. And he had a parody of Shtokolov : he puffed out his cheeks, made a meaningless face. We got to this place, and I look: My God, it turns out spilled Leonid Ilyich! Brezhnev himself, of course, did not notice anything - he laughed, poured. And Kosygin - he had the most thoughtful one - tensed ... But nothing, it carried ... ^[10]

Vladimir Vinokur spoke to the Soviet troops in Afghanistan :

In Afghanistan, there was a case with me, after which the internationalist warriors , by the way, are completely in vain, consider me a hero. I spoke in a big hangar, and shelling began. Thank God, it’s either short of flight or flight. Everyone ran away, who got where. And I stayed on stage. But not at all because the hero, but simply because of the shock, which is natural for any civilian ^[11] .

January 26, 1992 had a car accident during a tour in Germany ^[12] .

I survived then by a real miracle, ”recalls the artist. “Two of my friends in the car died in an instant.” My legs were very distorted. The right leg is a dislocation of the pelvis, the left is a complex fracture. Terrible injuries confined me to bed for many months. German doctors wanted to amputate my leg ... Then I was really scared and began to appeal to my guardian angel for help. Joseph Kobzon came to me right away, who agreed to transfer to the military hospital the Group of Soviet Forces in Germany, where Soviet military surgeons performed another operation and continued treatment and saved the leg. When I took the first steps, I realized what happiness is. Later I went to those German doctors and danced in front of them. To know! ^[13]

Alexander Shirvindt, the director of the play “I Go Alone,” spoke of this image as follows: “The text was ridiculous. The image was funny.

  • Here is how Vladimir Vinokur himself talks about how his grandson was named after Fedor: “When I was still living in Kursk and there was no sign that my name - Vladimir Vinokur - would become famous, my brother had a son, my nephew, who was also called Volodya . I fed him and condemned everything: “It is necessary, Fedya, it is necessary!” Just the film "Operation Y and other adventures of Shurik" was the rental leader. So, when the tribe grew up and began to talk, he said that there are a lot of two Vova Vinokur in the same family and let him remain Vova, and I will become Feday. With his submission, they began to call me that in the family. From the army, I wrote letters and signed - Fedya. My brother, until the last days, called me Fedey, and my nephew (he was already under fifty!) And now calls him that. Nastya, daughter, decided to name her son in honor of me. According to tradition, it is not customary for Jews to call them a living relative. Brother made a mistake. But Nastya decided not to repeat the mistakes and still name the heir in honor of her grandfather. So, Fedor Grigoryevich is growing with us ” ^[45] .

- Comrades viewers! Culture is a great power! And let me, on behalf of the leadership, present the certificate of honor of the banner of our culture to the universal favorite of Vinokur! To Vladimir! Potapovich !!! - then he turned in my direction and looked expressively. ^[129]

• According to him, Vinokur was the first to make a voice parody of Mikhail Gorbachev , and in his presence - “And suddenly, in the center of the room, someone's hands soared up and applauded loudly. These were the hands of Gorbachev. " ^[130]
• After his victory in the Altai Territory, Mikhail Evdokimov persuaded Vladimir Vinokur to run for governor of the Kursk region ^[11] . With the same proposal to the actor and local residents. He refused: “I do not want to spit after me. I am a happy person. I’m doing my job, I don’t take someone else’s place. And so I go to my fellow countrymen with an open soul and a pure heart. The governor is a job for professionals ” ^[131] .
• According to friends, Vinokur is a master of the rally. Here is what, for example, Levon Oganezov said :

We performed in Kazakhstan. After the concert, they stood at the hotel and waited for the bus to come for us. Suddenly a grandfather, a Kazakh, walks by - in an oriental gown, skullcap, with a whip in his hands. It can be seen, just got down with a donkey. Suddenly, in Kazakh, he asks something from Vinokur. He, without hesitation, answered with a tirade, in intonation and sound similar to grandfather. Grandpa nodded and walked in the direction where Vinokur gestured. Petrosyan froze in surprise: “Volodya, do you know the Kazakh language?” Vinokur looked at him: “Well, Christmas trees, sticks, I arrived in the country - I need to know a few words!” ... Probably, Petrosyan still thinks that Vinokur speaks Kazakh well ^[132] .

And here is what Vinokur himself said:

I had a tour in Israel, and Shabtai , who was serving a term in prison ... found out about this, ”the comedian recalled. - He had the opportunity to call from prison, found the phone number of my hotel, and I heard his voice. In response, in order to cheer him up, I began to speak in the voice of Gorbachev: “The motherland will not forget you, Comrade Shabtai, you are presented to the high rank of Hero of the Soviet Union!” Kalmanovich, who adored the rallies, later told me: “Imagine, the stunned head of the prison could not understand how I managed to get through to the Kremlin through internal communications” ^[133] .

• In 1986, together with Lev Leshchenko, he was late for the last flight of the Admiral Nakhimov airliner, which sank in a port in Novorossiysk .
• Vladimir Vinokur starred in one of Timati's videos. ^[134] .
