Nazarov, Yuri Vladimirovich

Born May 5, 1937 in Novosibirsk . After finishing his father’s studies at the Tomsk Industrial Institute , in 1938, the family finally moved to Novosibirsk. At first they lived in a communal apartment, in a house on Kolyvanskaya street , 3. Then the family moved to Kirovsky district. He studied at school number 73 of the Leninsky district . Since the education in schools was separate, he recalls that they went to girls from the neighboring women's school No. 70 to make friends.

He entered the B. Shchukin Theater School , but did not finish his first year, dropped out and returned to Novosibirsk. Then he worked as a laborer in the Kazakh SSR on the construction of railway bridges, in a construction column in Novosibirsk, on a Siberian collective farm, as a hammermaker in a forge in one of the villages on the Don. Two years later, he again entered the Theater School named after B. Schukin and graduated from it in 1960 . Then he became an actor in the theater. Lenin Komsomol in Moscow . Since 1963 - actor of the Studio Theater of the film actor . Nazarov recalls his youth like this: ^[4]

“ In youth, it was fashionable to be a reflective intellectual. From longing, he entered the Shchukin school, which he soon abandoned in order, so to speak, to join the people. I was seventeen years old, I wanted to see life as it really is. The rector said a wonderful thing to me: “You think that we are the most decent, and we are like shit, and we pay you a scholarship, please report back for six months.” But I passed the session - and left for Kazakhstan. And there I saw a people who, besides my intellectual problems, had enough of their own ”

But the craving for cinema and theater won over everything. As the actor admitted in a documentary about his career: ^[5]

“For me, a stage, a screen is a department with which people need to be brought something.”

He plays the guitar wonderfully, sings, repertoire: folk songs (Russian, Ukrainian), songs of the war years.

Yuri Vladimirovich has five children, including two illegitimate daughters ^[6] . The daughter of Yuri Nazarov is Martha ^[7] , a theater actress and director. Another daughter, Tatyana, starred with her father in the movie " Entrance to the Maze ."

Lives in Moscow.

In his book, “Not About Cinema,” Yuri Vladimirovich bluntly states that he is a communist: “I have never been a member of the party, but a communist. In the soul, in the brains ... From the soul, from your own, where do you get to? You cannot take it by the tail, like a red book, and you will not burn it in public ... The soul is only taken out of the body with life. ”

On March 11, 2014, he signed an appeal by cultural figures of the Russian Federation in support of the policies of Russian President Vladimir V. Putin in Ukraine and the Crimea ^[8] .

• Medal "For Labor Valor" ( April 12, 1974 ) - for services to the development of Soviet cinematography and active participation in the communist education of workers ^[9]
• Honored Artist of the RSFSR (1984)
• People's Artist of the Russian Federation (2005)
• Order of Friendship of Peoples "White Cranes of Russia" (2015)

• He starred in more than 200 films and series, a significant part of which are in the supporting roles, but with a pronounced character.
• The debut of Yuri Nazarov in the cinema took place in 1954, and, as often happens, could not do without a fluke and embarrassment: ^[10]

“When I entered the fall, we had a physical education lesson, we studied at the stadium. An assistant from Mosfilm approached us, she was gaining extras for the film Test of Fidelity . Filmed by Ivan Alexandrovich Pyryev , in the title role - Marina Alekseevna Ladynina . I starred one day. I called the whole Soviet Union, where there were relatives to watch: I got to the cinema! I looked at it about fifteen times, but I didn’t find myself. ”

• The third film was the participation in the film " Last Volleys ."

In 1960, I was invited to a movie role. When the exams ended, Valentina Vladimirovna appeared, in my opinion, Kuznetsova. He comes up and says: "Are you working here or are you studying?" “I study,” I say, “at the acting department.” We had no others. “I,” she says, “are the assistant director for Mosfilm. I would like to give you a script. ” Gave the script. This is one of the best works of Yuri Bondarev (the author of the script and the novel "The Last Volleys", according to which the film was shot - approx. Ed.). I read it and fell in love with the main character. “What would you like to play?” Asked. I say: “I don’t know. Some kind of soldier. " I called Lieutenant Alyoshin, and then I thought: “Which Lieutenant Alyoshin?” “Did you not like Captain Novikov?” I don’t remember what I answered. I passed the test, the movie test, and I was approved.

• About one of his most famous roles - Sergeant Ukhanov in "Hot Snow" according to Bondarev - Nazarov says that he is unlikely to have made anyone happy with this role. Such soldiers are in every family. “Hot Snow” was filmed in Nazarov’s homeland, in Novosibirsk. He recalls a difficult military childhood with a shudder: how the whole family listened to radio reports from the battlefield, how they followed the movement of the Germans around the country. “On the stove we had a map - they noted there. And suddenly the Germans were stopped near Moscow. Near Moscow, they fucked. Who? And the Siberians! And who am I?!?! I am a Siberian! ” - says Yuri Nazarov ^[11] .
• There are many references in the press that Yuri Nazarov was the first actor in Soviet cinema to speak an obscene word from the screen (“ Little Vera ”) ^[12] .

“There was a scene where the bridegroom comes in short pants. I had a replica“ Well, where is this bridegroom? ”And I tell the director that in Russian my dad would have called this groom differently. And suddenly the director told me:“ Speak. "“ What are you, stunned? "I ask." Speak, "he answers me." These are my problems. "Well, I said ... But in general, the Russian mat is the best. My grandfather told a story: during the war there were no men at all on the collective farm, and then the bosses came and asked: “Well, how are you, grandmothers, doing?” And they say: “At first it was difficult, and then how to swear on chilis, so it became easier ... " ^[13]

In fact, if you carefully listen to the scene, you can clearly hear the actor say: “Well, where is this fucking bridegroom?” However, the mat from the lips of the actor is still present in the film: in the scene of a quarrel with Sergey, his father, locked in the bathroom, refers to the latter obscene.

• Initially, Nazarov refused to play in Little Faith , "Too Blackish Script." And to drink, like his hero, he never drank.

“When they called me there, I say:“ Vasya, we have people who know this topic much more deeply. ” The only thing is to show this topic with pain. “That's what I need with pain,” the director answered . ”

• The actor considers participation in the film (in two roles) “ Andrei Rublev ” to be his most milestone film

“Why am I dear to Andrei Rublev ? He plunged me into such terrible paradoxes of Russia and at the same time deepened my love for her. One thing is love-blinding, which can collapse at any moment. Another is love-knowledge, when you know everything - both one and the other, and the third, and still there is nothing more expensive, and this can’t be pulled out by any ticks! Tarkovsky gave me precisely this love ” ^[14] .

About the film “ Ballad of Bering ”

“After all, someone, having looked at my picture, spat and went on, but to someone she turned her whole life upside down! So, I have such a friend, Yura Zuykov, he once admitted that he saw the “Ballad of Bering and his friends”, became infected with history, and entered Moscow University. Now he is a promising scientist ” ^[15] .

• Of the large number of roles played, Nazarov’s soul is very close to the small role of Stepan Zherekhov in the film “ The Sky Is Beyond the Clouds ” (1973). The film is dedicated to test pilots and designers who, in the first post-war years, risking their lives, mastered new jet technology.
