From the memoirs of Peter Arkadiev:
In VGIK, Valery studied in the workshop of Mikhail Romm on the same course as Shukshin and Tarkovsky, at the Taganka Theater he played in some performances with Vysotsky (and he played Pugachev, and Vysotsky - Khlopusha), starred in 50 films and did a lot of things himself, as an operator and director. Because Valery Belyakov perfectly knows these cinematic professions, as well as acrobatics, sambo wrestling and stunt craft.
Being a man of multifaceted interests, he worked on Taganka, went to television, and right there on Shabolovka he was assigned to make a program based on the poems of the poets of the war. Valery called his children from Taganka, began to rehearse, and when Vladimir Vysotsky appeared in their company, all the poems were already distributed. But Vysotsky Belyakov really wanted to see in his program and suggested Vladimir to sing some song. He brought then still unknown to anyone "On the mass graves." You can imagine how the song raised the tone of the entire transfer! An idea arose to make a continuation of this cycle, the script was ready, but Vysotsky’s name already appeared in the disgraced lists and the transfer was not allowed.
The viewer surely remembers many of Belyakov’s film roles. This is both the young doctor in the film “Three days of Viktor Chernyshov”, which was the positive pole to which the guy who had not yet chosen his guidance in life, and the capable artist in “The Return of St. Luke”, who let his talent on , in order to make copies from the paintings of big masters, and a sambo coach in one of the series “Born Revolution” - a tormented man with a double morality: in the intervals between bringing up a sports shift, he robbed a jewelry store.
In the cinema, Belyakov did a lot of “cascades”: Khimichev beat him in “The Detective”, in the “Secret of Greta Villa” he beat Zbruyev, and he put a lot of fights, gaining the respect of professionals. When one of the actors asked who would beat him in the frame and was told that they had called Belyakov to the stage, he replied: “Oh, then I am calm.”
He worked at the Central House of Artists, and raised both his sons to cameramen. In 1993, he starred in the detective series “The Trap”, based on the novel by Anna Malysheva, played one of the main roles - police major Balakirev, who was investigating a number of identical crimes. The partners of Valery Pavlovich here were the younger colleagues Mikhail Bekhorovainy, Vyacheslav Filippov, Dmitry Nabatov, Vladimir Shikhov. Valery created an image of an honest, decisive, staunch defender of the truth that in our cinema today is becoming a rarity.
The actor died on March 1, 2009 , at the age of 68. He was buried at the 14th section of the Moscow cemetery of ZAO Gorbrus .
