00:00:04Kathak dance is our roots, a show that combines
00:00:08traditional Kathak and modern dances. The festival
00:00:11concludes with a performance for the youngest audience. The Belarusian
00:00:14Puppet Theater brought the clever dog Sonya by Andrey Usachev.
00:00:18Using the example of a mischievous puppy learning the laws of human society, the director
00:00:22explores the nature of our own curiosity and the purity
00:00:25of a child's gaze, and the guests in the hall suddenly find themselves not
00:00:28spectators of the theatrical action.
00:00:31Excursions,
00:00:35meetings with residents, educational programs, all this is also part of the International
00:00:38Pacific Theater Festival, it has ended, but in 2
00:00:42years artists from all over the world will come here again to
00:00:46Vladivostok, where they are already known and will be awaited. Marya Natskevich, Andrey
00:00:49Mikhailov, Yan Savitsky, Dmitry Klimov, Channel
00:00:52One. Now, captivating footage
00:00:55of the Northern Lights, a spectacular show in the sky, could be observed by residents of different regions.
00:01:00From the Urals to central Russia, flashes of the most incredible hues were seen, including
00:01:03in the Moscow region. The reason for such an unusual phenomenon
00:01:07for our latitudes was a magnetic storm, one of the strongest in recent
00:01:10months.
00:01:13At the end of the broadcast, an urgent message from the Ministry of Defense: Russian troops have liberated
00:01:16the settlements of Novotroitske and Petrovskoye in the DPR. Also
00:01:20under our control are Reznikovo and Kupina in the Kharkiv region. All details
00:01:23will be in the next broadcasts. Now, a documentary film, "That Was a Good Idea,"
00:01:27dedicated to the 90th anniversary of Leonid's birth.
00:01:34Hello, lovely weather, isn't it? Leonid
00:01:37Kuravlev, on screen a simpleton, a cunning man,
00:01:40a jester. Rare Soviet comedies were made without
00:01:44the actor's participation. He had an undeniable gift of such
00:01:48authenticity. What's your name, brown-eyed girl?
00:01:51Katya. And mine is Darmidont. Kuravlev was
00:01:55truly a people's favorite, just like
00:01:57his charm.
00:02:30Ours is a difficult one, well,
00:02:33I won't complain, because why,
00:02:36why, but my vulnerability, so
00:02:39to speak, is terrible. Kuravlev
00:02:42differed from many colleagues not only in vulnerability, the actor avoided
00:02:46any publicity,
00:02:49highly valued his family. All his life Leonid
00:02:52Vyacheslavovich remained faithful to one sole
00:02:56woman, his wife Nina.
00:03:05They trusted me, I think that's all, there are no other secrets, this is the first interview of Kuravlev's only son Vasily
00:03:09after his father's death. He looks a lot like his father.
00:03:13Vasily, a candidate of economic sciences, teaches at the
00:03:16Peoples' Friendship University of Russia. Leonid
00:03:19Kuravlev was always proud of his son.
00:03:23Close actors avoided frank conversations with
00:03:26journalists. The reason for this was not only personal modesty, but
00:03:30also Leonid Vyacheslavovich's own unwillingness to let
00:03:33outsiders into his family. But
00:03:36today Vasily will talk about the Leonid
00:03:39Kuravlev that fans and reporters didn't know.
00:04:00I am an artist of large and small academic
00:04:03theaters. Everyone knows the footage
00:04:06from Leonid Gaidai's most popular comedy. We know by
00:04:10heart the quotes of our favorite characters, including Georges Miloslavsky, performed by Leonid Kuravlev. we remember
00:04:14by heart.
00:04:19This is me who got lucky. Well,
00:04:21I often use "got lucky," by the way. If
00:04:25it fits, it fits. Yes, I always like
00:04:29to say it.
00:04:48It's great that they left it in
00:04:51the film.
00:04:55Let's be acquainted. Nowhere , boyar, do
00:04:58I recognize you. Are you a prince?
00:05:01I, perhaps, am a prince! For the role
00:05:04of Miloslavsky, first-tier actors auditioned: Nikonenko,
00:05:08Burkov,
00:05:10innocent, even.
00:05:42they shuddered, I don't see the profession itself, you understand, what it's all
00:05:46woven from, this little loop, a hook, you see,
00:05:50an internal monologue, fresh tasks, and so on, if we analyze all this according to Stanislavsky,
00:05:53well, nothing of this, I can't analyze it, because it's just a living
00:05:57person in front of me, a living character, alive. Kuravlev had to
00:06:00play an imposter, our contemporary, who
00:06:04pretends to be a boyar, a double acting
00:06:07task, he not only put on a caftan and a hat
00:06:10of a royal dignitary, but also...
00:06:27But Kuravlev could not boast of strong vocal abilities,
00:06:30so in the film another wonderful artist, Valery
00:06:33Zolotukhin, sang for him. I froze
00:06:36somewhere, I sailed overseas, I know,
00:06:40it was not in vain, everything in the world was not
00:06:43in vain, it was not in vain,
00:06:46I was sure that it was Lyonya singing, especially since
00:06:50he has a good voice, and he sings, but it
00:06:53turns out it was Zolotukhin singing, but it was very well done,
00:06:57because everything intonationally and
00:07:00timbrally, everything fit so well with
00:07:03Lyonya's movements on
00:07:07his shoulders, but with all his peculiarities.
00:07:10somewhere overseas. I know, it was not
00:07:14in vain, everything in the world was not in vain, it was
00:07:18not in vain, what do you want,
00:07:21guys?
00:07:25What is it? Banquets,
00:07:28film festivals, red carpets, and crowds
00:07:31of fans, it would seem, such obligatory attributes of a movie star's
00:07:34life, but in an amazing way, Leonid
00:07:38Kuravlev was absolutely indifferent to them, avoided
00:07:41noisy companies and gatherings after
00:07:44filming. Taking off his costume and makeup, he always
00:07:48hurried home to his family. The Kuravlevs, the actor and his
00:07:52wife Nina and two children, a daughter and a son, lived in this house on
00:07:55the corner of Kutuzovsky
00:07:56Prospekt.
00:08:00We had an apartment on the twelfth floor and the twelfth
00:08:03entrance, it was such a funny coincidence. In principle, quite
00:08:06high, but usually, when Dad wasn't home for a long time,
00:08:10he was on some trips, filming, and I knew he
00:08:14could arrive any moment, so yes,
00:08:17I either leaned out the window or went out onto the balcony, watched
00:08:21for the car to bring Dad home. Kuravlev
00:08:24met his future wife Nina as a teenager, carrying
00:08:27a deep love for this woman throughout his entire
00:08:30life. I
00:08:33found my girl, my future
00:08:36wife, while still in the tenth,
00:08:39ninth grade, she was 2 years
00:08:42younger than me, even three, two and a
00:08:46half. My Nina, well, in short,
00:08:49by the tenth grade I had already set
00:08:52my eyes on Nina, we met, in those
00:08:55days it was very fashionable to skate
00:08:59at the rink, young people, in Izmailovo, there's a pond
00:09:03there, a famous one to this day, of course, well,
00:09:07on this pond we
00:09:10met, well... my
00:09:13soul was already
00:09:16given,
00:09:18given at her feet, it fell, the young people
00:09:21got married in 1960
00:09:24and lived together, jokingly for half a century, such
00:09:28a swan-like loyalty to each other is a rarest case in
00:09:31the acting environment, and it was not just a habit, when two
00:09:35people are married, because it is convenient, a common established
00:09:39life and children bind them, no, Kuravlev truly loved.
00:09:57changed their wives, why,
00:10:01everyone has their own destiny, I am not an ideal, all the same, we are all
00:10:05sinners and so on, so
00:10:08everything was very simple, based on trust, and was not
00:10:11discussed. This question was never raised, right up to
00:10:15his very
00:10:17death,
00:10:19that faith was everything. Nina
00:10:23was not just a beloved wife, but also the main advisor in choosing
00:10:26roles for her husband. Kuravlev always listened to his wife's
00:10:30opinion, unreservedly trusting her
00:10:33taste.
00:10:35He and my mom had this practice, that the first
00:10:39script Dad received, Mom read it
00:10:42first, well, because to discuss it with her, because it's
00:10:45really not easy, right, you're busy with one image, right, but you read and
00:10:49imagine yourself in another image, not
00:10:52easy. So, somehow he first with... Mom, well,
00:10:55I think Mom's strong support was felt in this. Why did
00:10:59Borshchev climb into the fountain? Was it hot?
00:11:02Because of a woman who was drowning?
00:11:05No, we were walking in a group, and she
00:11:08said, "Valdemar is too weak to dive." So I
00:11:11dived. Why do you, Borshchev, always
00:11:15have to be the one? Let Valdemar
00:11:18dive. She called me Valdemar.
00:11:21And this is another legendary Soviet film...
00:12:04This phrase is also very
00:12:07remarkable, it turns out, Leonid
00:12:11Vyacheslavovich himself also had one favorite scene in this
00:12:14film, which he later often
00:12:16quoted.
00:12:24What's wrong? Why
00:12:27would I watch, and then in life, no, no, he loved to
00:12:31say this phrase, like, you know, how it is, you filmed
00:12:35here, there, and elsewhere, and he left such a mark, I
00:12:38think he certainly drew parallels with his Afonya, even though
00:12:42he had a complex relationship with him, but this phrase, well, it's not
00:12:45excluded, I can't confirm it, but maybe he
00:12:49also invented this phrase himself.
00:12:52But what does a difficult relationship with Afonya mean? Can an artist
00:12:56really not love a role that has become almost his calling
00:12:59card? The plumber played by Kuravlev
00:13:03is an iconic character, but Kuravlev himself is not thrilled with
00:13:06his character. When the film came out, they would shout
00:13:10at my back: "Afonya, give me a ruble!"
00:13:14And after that, money became completely different,
00:13:17and sometimes, rarely, now
00:13:21"Afonya, give me a ruble!"
00:13:25"A ruble was due." This annoys me,
00:13:29of course, I say, "Well, come here, what can
00:13:32you do with this ruble
00:13:35now, when a loaf of bread already costs
00:13:3930 rubles and more, what can
00:13:42you do?" Let's start with the fact that this role did not come
00:13:45easily to him, in a fierce competitive struggle. Which
00:13:49is better, this way or that way? The film
00:13:52director was looking for an actor for...
00:14:25Georgy Burkov, Vladimir
00:14:27Menshov,
00:14:30but Kuravlev
00:14:31won.
00:14:36What's your name?
00:14:37Lyudmila.
00:14:40And I am Ruslan. For the audience, the actor finally
00:14:43and irrevocably merged with his character, but
00:14:47Kuravlev was fundamentally different from the drinking and
00:14:50frivolous plumber. Not that
00:14:53he had affairs on the side, even.
00:15:25You'll go barefoot,
00:15:25пойдёте,
00:15:32overworked, for the 90th anniversary of Leonid
00:15:35Kuravlev. If
00:15:44a person stumbles once, they'll be badgered all their life, that
00:15:48which is now reveille,
00:15:51that the absence of complaints from
00:15:55the population is the best reward for our work,
00:15:58the greedy relative, the ruble debt, what is your
00:16:02name, brown-eyed girl, Katya, and mine is
00:16:05Darmidont, we don't have everything yet.
00:16:40a beautiful, unspoiled youth, someday you will grow old and
00:16:44ugly, if my portrait had aged, there was
00:16:47something terribly fascinating in the possibility of exerting one's influence, they
00:16:51say terrible things about you, the portrait was to
00:16:54blame for everything, only by the rings on his hands, the servants recognized
00:16:57him, if only they had VTB, Lord Henry, that's
00:17:00too expensive, for life you need another consultant at VTB, our call center
00:17:04works around the clock, thinking about a family account? Yes,
00:17:08VTB is a classic. Agreed. At first
00:17:11there were questions, gigachat. What's even written here? With gigachat,
00:17:15it's simple, 16 tenses. Gigachat, I passed everything
00:17:18automatically. Awesome, setting a new
00:17:20goal. Gigachat, everything is
00:17:24simple for you. If you are one of those who need a reliable

00:19:58the overpayment would be huge. I
00:20:01really don't want to pay interest. Comrade Kholba is authorized. And who will
00:20:04pay them? The store will pay.
00:20:46Kuravlev's extreme modesty was noted by all his female co-stars.
00:20:50in this love scene with the young Evgenia
00:20:53Simonova, the actor, who was already almost 40, showed
00:20:57surprising shyness. We had a bedroom
00:21:00scene, well, naturally, within the framework
00:21:03of socialist realism.
00:21:06Lyonya was lying in trousers, he even refused to take off his trousers, in such a tight
00:21:09t-shirt, and I was lying in such a nightgown made of such
00:21:12bulletproof domestic silk,
00:21:16very thick and dense.
00:21:52Dad was a locksmith, who worked
00:21:55at the Salyut factory all his
00:21:59life, and Mom was a women's
00:22:01hairdresser. These are my
00:22:04roots, these beloved,
00:22:07glorious roots. This left
00:22:11a mark on me, of course, this kind of
00:22:14background, for my whole life, for my whole life, well,
00:22:17let's just say, I don't...
00:22:37I don't like it; there's a lot of falsity at parties, everyone shows off to each other, as a rule, and that's disgusting, I think. Lyonya was 5 years old when he was separated from his mother.
00:22:40Valentina Dmitrievna was denounced, she was convicted in
00:22:441941 for sabotage and
00:22:47wrecking. Mother. was arrested
00:22:51quickly, a month
00:22:54later, after the war started, under
00:22:58the famous Article 58.
00:23:01It was unfair, but that's how the authorities,
00:23:04apparently, kept society
00:23:08in discipline, so that everyone would be disciplined, wouldn't
00:23:11chatter there about something,
00:23:14and so on. Well, it's clearer to them, as they say,
00:23:18and then labor was needed. My mother ended up in
00:23:22Kazakhstan, at a metallurgical
00:23:25plant,
00:23:26a woman,
00:23:31a place for women at that metallurgical
00:23:34plant, she was there. Lyonya's aunt was in charge of his
00:23:37upbringing, his father worked day and night. The boy didn't see his
00:23:41own mother for 7 years, they met when
00:23:44his son was already almost a teenager,
00:23:47he came to his mother in the Murmansk region, they returned to
00:23:50Moscow, but the actor did not talk about this dramatic
00:23:53episode of his biography.
00:23:57Kuravlev was generally not a very talkative actor, he was not in a
00:24:01hurry to open his heart.
00:24:04But on screen, his character had an open
00:24:07soul. Open, often naive and very
00:24:10simple-minded people. I don't
00:24:14understand anything.
00:24:23This is not gold. Shura Balaganov, played by
00:24:26Kuravlev, another hundred percent hit
00:24:30the mark.
00:24:32So it was you who stole the weights?
00:24:36But why? Why indeed? Ponikovsky said they were
00:24:40gold. The director of The Golden Calf, Mikhail
00:24:43Schweizer could very clearly and
00:24:47concisely give an instruction
00:24:50to the actor in literally a few phrases: I
00:24:53know for sure that when filming this film, Schweizer told
00:24:57Dad: play a dog, play
00:24:59a mongrel.
00:25:03Naturally, this set the tone for the character of Shura
00:25:07Balaganov. Indeed, how similar is
00:25:11this charming bungler Shura to a little dog that
00:25:14seeks its owner and finds him in
00:25:16Bender.
00:25:30By the way, Kuravlev immediately found a common language
00:25:33with Sergei Yursky, who played the great schemer. These were
00:25:37conversations, but Lyonya is not a critic of
00:25:40time, Lyonya is open to
00:25:44time, he always was, in his
00:25:47roles, the best thing he did. That is precisely
00:25:51this absolute openness,
00:25:53if one can speak of
00:25:57acting roles,
00:26:00then the role of a simpleton, I think. That Leonid
00:26:04Kuravlev occupied this place in our
00:26:07cinematography for more than half a century. How much money do you
00:26:10need for happiness? 100
00:26:13rubles. By the way, pay attention, in the film, Shura
00:26:16Balaganov is always hungry and constantly pounces on
00:26:19food. Each such scene was filmed not
00:26:23in one take, and Kuravlev had to strictly
00:26:26limit his
00:26:27diet.
00:26:30He practically didn't eat off-camera, meaning he... there was such a
00:26:33cinematic, cinematic diet, or then he,
00:26:37for example, is treated - already, when Bender, yes, uh,
00:26:41the wonderful Sergey Yursky, so, yes, treats him, he just devours it,
00:26:45yes,
00:26:47off-camera, he was literally forbidden to eat
00:26:50anything, but what won't you do for
00:26:52art?
00:26:59Of course, the acting profession requires a lot of dedication.
00:27:02It requires a considerable amount of effort, both mental and
00:27:06physical. But at home, Kuravlev did not
00:27:10demand special treatment for himself, when he was learning lines or
00:27:13rehearsing, his family did not tiptoe around him,
00:27:16there was never a moment like, "Everyone shut up, silence, I
00:27:20have filming starting at 8 AM tomorrow." It wasn't like
00:27:24that, he found ways, life still
00:27:28went on, there were some conversations, he always found
00:27:31ways to rehearse something, do
00:27:33something, well, if it didn't work in one room, he could go to
00:27:37another. Many wives of famous husbands quit
00:27:40their jobs to completely provide them with a household, but
00:27:44Nina Kuravleva was not one of them, like millions of
00:27:47other Soviet women, she combined caring for her home
00:27:51and work, every morning she got ready and went to
00:27:54school. Nina Vasilyevna was an English
00:27:57teacher, and a wonderful one at that. The actor was
00:28:00very proud of his wife. Ninka was smarter than
00:28:04me, smarter, smart, smart, she read
00:28:07a lot, knew this beautiful language,
00:28:11she read in English, in short, everyone
00:28:14noticed it, my friends, when I would go with her to
00:28:18friends at a restaurant, she would take all the attention
00:28:22herself, I was with her,
00:28:25beautiful, they knew she was smart,
00:28:28so I, I was in the background. His eldest daughter Katya was born when
00:28:40Kuravlev and his wife were just
00:28:43over 20, but Vasily was a late child. His father at
00:28:47that time was already 42, a mature
00:28:50age. For the sake of raising his younger son, Nina temporarily
00:28:53left her job. For 7
00:28:57years she raised
00:29:00Vasya. And Vasya is now a miracle as a person,
00:29:04that is her, her upbringing, a miracle as
00:29:08a person, doesn't smoke, doesn't drink,
00:29:10a workaholic, uh, well,
00:29:14just as bald as I am,
00:29:17at the same time, a wonderful person, really, believe me, not because I
00:29:20am his father. Of course, Vasya was Kuravlev's
00:29:24favorite. The boy was three years old when he
00:29:27had the good fortune to be photographed with his father for a magazine
00:29:30spread. In Soviet
00:29:32times, such magazines were published
00:29:36about artists, so such
00:29:39an publication about Leonid Kuravlev dates back to
00:29:431981, I don't remember who gave him the horse,
00:29:47but for some reason, this ZIL truck is sticking out here,
00:29:50I remember it more somehow, yes, well, most likely,
00:29:54most likely it was not staged, yes, most likely it was
00:29:58also my horse.
00:30:01The actor didn't give his son any special
00:30:05indulgences. The boy was keen on tennis, and his father
00:30:08encouraged these activities, buying expensive equipment.
00:30:12Kuravlev didn't go to school parent-teacher meetings, his wife
00:30:16handled all issues, but there was one school subject that
00:30:19the actor helped his son with. Dad,
00:30:23it turns out, drew very well, well,
00:30:26in principle, in my opinion, it was simply wonderful, he could have
00:30:30developed this skill. Wow. Well,
00:30:33he helped me, and then
00:30:36naturally the teacher figured it out, that
00:30:39it was all, "This is your dad drawing, stop it, so all these
00:30:42beautiful drawings, simply masterpieces, but
00:30:46this is Vasenka, not you, in general, well, that's how it was, and then I
00:30:50already, I don't know, asked my dad, we could just sit down and draw
00:30:54together. Father and son also had another tradition
00:30:57of going to the post office together for magazines. There was a post
00:31:01office here - the Kuntsevskaya post office. Well, and Dad,
00:31:05as a big fan,
00:31:07subscribed to a bunch of magazines and newspapers,
00:31:11yes, he had a special large
00:31:15storage for all these subscriptions.
00:31:19Well, and I, I understand that Dad was also given many things
00:31:23from these subscriptions by various magazine and
00:31:26newspaper editors, apparently they somehow found out about his love for this, well, I have
00:31:29a weakness, I love funny magazines, and if Dad was
00:31:33busy filming, for example, a week could pass
00:31:36or even 10 days, then it was generally impossible to carry
00:31:40all this newspaper and magazine
00:31:43weight alone,
00:31:47so I often helped him with this. On the way, Vasily and I
00:31:50unexpectedly reached another significant
00:31:53place in the life of our beloved actor. Well,
00:31:57it seems that this was the location of Dad's
00:32:00garage, and there, accordingly,
00:32:03was kept a Zhiguli six-
00:32:06models, of such an orange, orange, yellow
00:32:10color, it was right here, but really,
00:32:14there were such garages here, probably like those here, clad
00:32:17with iron, now they've probably been dismantled somehow, but
00:32:21Kuravlyov was not a passionate car enthusiast, and he didn't
00:32:25particularly have time to drive himself. Regarding work
00:32:28issues, yes, he preferred when a film
00:32:32crew would pick him up, transport
00:32:35him, take him back, because, well, if he
00:32:39was going to a shoot, he needed to concentrate,
00:32:43to get himself in the mood.

00:38:09just like that,
00:38:15Kuravlyov was a very sought-after actor, often went on
00:38:19film expeditions, but from any business trip he always
00:38:23brought gifts for his loved ones, thanks to
00:38:26filming in the movie Esperance. he fully clothed his son,
00:38:29the filming took place in Mexico, in 1988
00:38:32year,
00:38:33this was my first trip abroad,
00:38:39Leonid Vyacheslavovich, he understood that he had already been there, his
00:38:42Vasily was growing up, so he was younger than me, Vasily, and I
00:38:45would go, so, I would try on everything, he would say, yes, this
00:38:49will fit, this won't fit, in short, I dressed Vasily's entire
00:38:52wardrobe of that time, that was all
00:38:55me,
00:39:28And another colorful thief, "Kopcheny" (Smoked). In the film "The Meeting
00:39:32Place Cannot Be Changed." Already the third in a row after Georges
00:39:35Miloslavsky and Shura Balaganov. And you break the
00:39:39billiard rules? Well, playing for money. That's
00:39:43only for kids playing for slaps, real players play for
00:39:46interest. I love these roles, I
00:39:50love them and thieves love them. This is art
00:39:53again. I once stole a book
00:39:56in my life. From the library while filming in Kerch, in
00:40:00Schweitzer's film,
00:40:02"Time Forward,"
00:40:04Ma'am,
00:40:06she is with me to this day, but that was a long
00:40:10time ago, Ma'am, summing up, the wisest
00:40:14book, it's at my house, I confess,
00:40:17I confess, in childhood, Kuravlyov
00:40:20didn't dream of an acting career, he was, to put it mildly,
00:40:23not a good student in school, especially not good at exact sciences.
00:41:29Lenya had a bit of a speech peculiarity,
00:41:32he lisped a little, as I say, he had a soft "sh,"
00:41:36there were some of these sounds, I'm nervous.
00:41:41"It's hard for me to talk," and Bibikov, well, as a teacher, of course, he saw
00:41:44and knew this, and he
00:41:47somehow told him, he called all the girls "matushkas" (mothers), and
00:41:50the guys "batyushkas" (fathers), and he said, "Batyushka, I think
00:41:54in the second year, we'll be parting ways," meaning
00:41:58because of the lisp, then Lenya's classmates
00:42:01stood up for him, the group was very close-knit and friendly,
00:42:05they defended their comrade, Sophiko Chiaureli always
00:42:09saved him. he was friends with her, she
00:42:12saved him, she did everything to get
00:42:15him back to
00:42:17VGIK.
00:42:21It's dangerous to blow your nose like that, a blood vessel might burst, and
00:42:24the surest way to stop a nosebleed is cold on the
00:42:27back.
00:42:31I'm always amazed in the film "Seek a Woman" at
00:42:35how accurately all the actors portray their
00:42:38characters, how...
00:43:10simpler, less masculine, who painstakingly
00:43:12calculated the criminal, the choice fell on
00:43:15Kuravlyov, although everyone doubted, well, Kuravlyov,
00:43:19the Russian-looking one, so to speak, they were used to seeing him outside
00:43:23of foreign settings, yes, in short,
00:43:25he found the makeup himself,
00:43:29makeup, I opened Flaubert's five-volume
00:43:32work, he had such a snub-nosed
00:43:35Russian face, bald,
00:43:38just bigger.
00:44:40I hadn't seen this, it was an improvisation, no one
00:44:43rehearsed it, I sit down and say something
00:44:46like, "Where did I put my
00:44:48notebook?"
00:44:51Excuse me, you were sitting on my
00:44:54notebook, but it's all in character, and
00:44:58he's in character, and it turns out so
00:45:01naturally, these little things
00:45:05that make up
00:45:07a completely different...
00:45:40I never thought that the torment
00:45:42of insomnia is the most terrible torment.
00:45:46It's hard to believe, but at first Lioznova offered him the role of Hitler
00:45:50and the actor, imagine that, did screen tests, we
00:45:54managed to find
00:45:54them.
00:45:59Yes, he later admitted, with
00:46:02humor, that his
00:46:06Russian nature just couldn't
00:46:09play such an antichrist.
00:46:12So, Aisaman
00:46:16was easier to play. Don't you
00:46:19even consider it? No, I cannot
00:46:23believe in Shtirlitz's
00:46:24dishonesty. Me
00:46:27too. In
00:46:291984, six-year-old Vasya
00:46:33was lucky enough to star in a film with his
00:46:35father. Klementy, come here quickly.
00:46:38Here. my only episode in
00:46:42cinematography, but a close-up, I even
00:46:45dubbed it, I came to Mosfilm
00:46:47to dub.
00:46:50The filming of "Dangerous for Life" took place in the summer in the city
00:46:53of Chernivtsi, Ukraine. Director Leonid Gaidai suggested to the actor
00:46:57to bring his family, and the whole family left
00:47:00Moscow. The episode with his son was born
00:47:03by chance and did not affect Vasily's
00:47:06fate in any way. He did not become an actor, choosing a serious
00:47:10university, graduating from MADI to his father's
00:47:12delight.
00:47:15He told me directly, "Vasya, don't become an actor." Well, first of all,
00:47:19I think he already fully understood
00:47:23all the dangers of this profession, all, so to speak, side
00:47:26effects. And also such a factor, that
00:47:30in principle, if you are an actor, but not quite
00:47:32successful, this is also a difficult fate,
00:47:36in general, not everyone is so lucky, and he didn't understand
00:47:40how his children could surpass
00:47:42him, perhaps, his daughter, Kuravlyov
00:47:46did not protect her from the acting profession, Katya graduated
00:47:49from a theater university, played several notable episodes
00:47:52in films, for example, in the film "The Most Charming and
00:47:55Attractive." Listen, Nat, I met
00:47:59two circus trainers today, they invited me to visit
00:48:02for pineapples, let's go. But then Ekaterina left
00:48:06the profession, perhaps unable to withstand constant comparison
00:48:10with her famous
00:48:10father.
00:48:14Maybe somewhere his dad didn't approve of her, or
00:48:16criticized her, and she thought he over-criticized her, well, I don't
00:48:20know for sure, but generally she just.
00:48:52your knees, the one who stands behind you, that wall, the one you don't need
00:48:56to turn around to, look, you just know that there's a rear
00:49:00behind you, and you live with that and you can
00:49:03go, I even get goosebumps when I talk about them, it's really something, and the
00:49:06more time passes,
00:49:09the more you realize how much poor
00:49:12Nina Vasilievna endured my clumsy cooking, my
00:49:15cooking, my God, she never said a word to me, how much
00:49:19Leonid Davydovich also ate all this, endured.
00:49:22Never, well, always just support, always just
00:49:26kind words. Vasily has three sons, all the
00:49:29boys love sports, their passion for football is clearly
00:49:33inherited from their grandfather.
00:49:36Few people know that Leonid Vyacheslavovich was a devoted fan of the CSKA
00:49:40club, never missing a single match. In his youth,
00:49:44he would come to the stadium with his wife Nina. In his mature
00:49:47years, he enjoyed watching matches on television, and once
00:49:51he personally met the goalkeeper of his favorite team, Igor
00:49:54Akinfeev. The athlete, a big fan of Kuravlyov,
00:49:58got the actor's number himself and called to congratulate him on his
00:50:01birthday. Thus, this friendship
00:50:03was born.
00:50:07About once a month, once every 2 months, we would call each other, I would just ask how things
00:50:10were and we would just chat about everyday things. But
00:50:14one meeting stuck in my mind, it was not far
00:50:17from his house, he gave me a collection of all his
00:50:21cassettes at that time. They were indeed cassettes, he
00:50:24signed them, I still have all of them at home. It was immediately clear both in
00:50:28conversation and in communication and simply by looking at
00:50:31him, yes, that is, it was clear that he was a kind person with his
00:50:34principles. In honor of CSKA's centenary, Kuravlyov
00:50:38even recorded a congratulation for the footballers of his favorite
00:50:41club,
00:50:43all the best to you, health,
00:50:46success and joy
00:50:49not only in your soul, but on the field.
00:50:53Joy, because the game itself
00:50:55is
00:50:57joyful.
00:51:05The beloved actor of several generations, Kuravlyov
00:51:09gave us so many wonderful and diverse
00:51:11film works. It's interesting which role Leonid
00:51:15Vyacheslavovich himself valued the most.
00:51:18"There lives such a guy," and Dad always singled out this film.
00:51:22Always, everywhere, well, it gave him a lot,
00:51:26probably, it really gave him a ticket
00:51:29directly to big roles, of course, this film gave that, and he was
00:51:33very grateful to Vasily Makarovich for
00:51:36that. Vasily Makarovich Shukshin was the first to believe in Kuravlyov's
00:51:40talent. At that time, the young actor had
00:51:44not a single leading role behind him, and the directors
00:51:47kept dissuading him, "Why do you need Kuravlyov? They almost
00:51:51expelled him from VGIK."
00:51:56he won't be able to handle it, where are you from? From Moscow,
00:52:00there are such such
00:52:03big-headed people.
00:52:06"Your grayness surprises me a little, oh-oh-oh, but I
00:52:10like you, yes, I've been looking for such an ideal for a long
00:52:13time, but Shukshin knew how to get his way. The image of Pashka
00:52:17Kolokolnikov, a simple driver who performed a feat,
00:52:21the director and actor found together.
00:52:24Kuravlyov came up with a trick, Pashka stutters
00:52:27a little. "And you would ask me now with a
00:52:30smile, what's the matter, Pavlik?"
00:52:33Shukshin said, "Keep it." the stutter,
00:52:36but you have to do it gently,
00:52:39like always letting
00:52:43it through at the same time.
00:52:45driver-mechanic of the second class.
00:52:49Single. That's how they kept
00:52:52this moment, this feature, it's very
00:52:55charming, it gives the image
00:52:58a certain naivety, openness,
00:53:01soulfulness, if you will.
00:53:05Don't blame me for all my
00:53:08actions, that I
00:53:11sometimes,
00:53:16Kuravlyov also starred in Shukshin's film: "Your Son, My
00:53:19Brother." The director made it based on his own
00:53:22stories. The actor played the role of Stepan, a young village
00:53:26man who ended up in prison after a fight, and without
00:53:30waiting for his release, he escaped. The role was
00:53:33by no means comedic. Kuravlyov played his fallen
00:53:37hero precisely, sharply, piercingly, listen, take
00:53:40her away, how can I take her
00:53:43away, I'll smash my head, here with
00:53:46you, let's go, let's go, forgive me, I'll bring
00:53:50him.
00:53:58He was in demand during difficult times for our
00:54:01cinematography, at the end of...
00:54:35this is such a rare and valuable quality, I later, with age,
00:54:38began to appreciate this in people, this
00:54:41lightness, a lightness of attitude towards the world, towards
00:54:44the profession, towards life, towards people, lightness, not
00:54:48because it's some kind of
00:54:50frivolity, no, it's precisely an inner positive
00:54:54outlook on life, very light, he's a very good partner, there's
00:54:57a counter-idea, what, we're printing an advertisement,
00:55:01news of individual labor activity, the first private
00:55:04detective in the city, yes,
00:55:07a real private detective, this might be interesting, so
00:55:11be curious, we filmed the scene quickly, in a couple of hours,
00:55:15and then the whole crew, led by the director, went to a
00:55:18banquet at the House of Cinema, celebrating the first day of filming the picture,
00:55:22Kuravlyov and I were left alone, while we washed off our makeup
00:55:26and so on, they sent a car for us, so we talked,
00:55:29chatted, and he somehow kindly, he
00:55:33gave me some advice on how to work with
00:55:36Lentevich, since he was much more experienced
00:55:40in that regard than me, so he gave me advice on the
00:55:43nuances with Gaidai.
00:55:46Gaidai and Kuravlyov's last joint work
00:55:50was the comedy "A Good Weather on Deribasovskaya"
00:55:53or "It's Raining Again on Brighton Beach." The director
00:55:57offered the actor, to put it mildly, a rather unusual
00:55:59role. Good evening, Mr.
00:56:03President, although I was already informed by the competent
00:56:06authorities that you still have a good
00:56:09morning,
00:56:11quite unexpectedly, Leonid Vyacheslavovich Kuravlyov was
00:56:15in the image of Mikhail Gorbachev, and he turned
00:56:18out to be so similar to him, an amazing, so to speak, effect
00:56:21of transformation, the art of transformation, he played it
00:56:25wonderfully, I think, not caricatured, but precisely
00:56:28with immersion in the image of Mikhail
00:56:31Sergeyevich Gorbachev, I'm glad that we have such.
00:56:47Everything changed after the spring of 2012,
00:56:48in April, Leonid
00:56:52Vyacheslavovich's beloved wife, Nina, passed away. Heart.
00:56:55The sudden loss of his dearest and closest person
00:56:59heavily affected the actor. His whole
00:57:02life, as if... we were filming
00:57:17a show about Gaidai, who had just
00:57:20recently passed away, and
00:57:24I put on makeup and
00:57:28came,
00:57:30walked up to Lenya and said, "Lenya, you can
00:57:33go, there's no one left, go put on makeup."
00:57:37Suddenly Lenya snapped
00:57:39at me,
00:57:41and I was completely bewildered and
00:57:44thought,
00:57:46"Oh well, I don't know why." Then
00:57:50Nina Grebeshkova, who was also filming
00:57:53with us, said, "Nin,
00:57:56Lenya's wife died, that's why he's in this
00:57:59state."
00:58:02His elder daughter Katya moved to live with her father in his apartment to take
00:58:05care of him, but how could she replace his beloved
00:58:08wife? And no one else
00:58:10could. I talked to him several times, on
00:58:14the phone, and so on, and he frankly said that it's already
00:58:18generally not interesting without Nina here anymore,
00:58:21everything is already done. And
00:58:24I offered him some projects, even aspiring
00:58:27directors wrote a script for him, and he said, "Dim, I'm not interested in all this anymore,
00:58:31I don't want to do this anymore, I've already done everything."
00:58:35"Hello, hello, guys, happiness to
00:58:38you, although in principle there
00:58:41is no happiness, where is it calling?"
00:58:45"Thank you anyway, good luck."
00:58:48Before, Kuravlyov avoided journalists, and now he completely
00:58:52avoided them. His heart only thawed when he was with his
00:58:55grandchildren. He adored Vasily's sons, always looked
00:58:59forward to meeting them, and always bought
00:59:00gifts.
00:59:04My grandchildren make me happy, only them, they have
00:59:07some successes in their studies, in the sports
00:59:11they engage in,
00:59:14wrestling, tennis.
00:59:19basketball, they
00:59:22read good books, you need
00:59:25to be an educated person in this
00:59:28life, well, in short, that's what makes me
00:59:31happy, my glorious, my glorious
00:59:34grandchildren make me
00:59:36happy.
00:59:46Today, his eldest grandson, Stepan, is already 23 years old, the middle one,
00:59:50Fyodor, is 19, and the youngest, Grigory, is 16.
00:59:53All serious and purposeful
00:59:55young men.
01:00:00The eldest works at an auto repair shop,
01:00:02the middle one studies at college, specializing in
01:00:05IT, and the youngest, besides playing bass guitar, is making progress
01:00:09in professional sports. In
01:00:12childhood, he went to
01:00:16many games of his older brother, well, he gradually started to
01:00:19get involved from the age of four,
01:00:22he goes to the Dynamo sports school, now he's in the
01:00:25professional basketball club MBA. Grandfather supported
01:00:29everyone, he always came with a
01:00:32big bag of gifts and gave them out one by
01:00:34one.
01:00:43We wish you health and longevity!
01:01:17but at home, unfortunately,
01:01:20it was not very realistic,
01:01:23and they searched for a long time for a place where they could help,
01:01:27in short, they found an institution with
01:01:30doctors.
01:01:32In the summer of 2021, relatives moved
01:01:35Kuravlyov to a private nursing home for the
01:01:38elderly. This decision by the actor's children caused
01:01:41a lot of gossip, "How could they abandon their father?"
01:01:45some were indignant.
01:01:47But is it fair to judge the actor's relatives so harshly? No one
01:01:51certainly abandoned Kuravlyov, perhaps
01:01:54Leonid Vyacheslavovich himself did not want to be a burden
01:01:56to them.
01:01:59Everything is wonderful there, especially since there were many
01:02:02good people there, there are doctors, there's
01:02:06good food, there are books,
01:02:09you can do whatever you want there,
01:02:12people need to be taught
01:02:15this. to give another person,
01:02:19especially one who is about to leave, complete freedom, and not
01:02:23pressure their soul or their mind.
01:02:27Leonid Kuravlyov passed away at the end of January
01:02:302022. He willed
01:02:33to be buried next to Nina, and during
01:02:36his lifetime, he arranged in advance for his name to be carved on his
01:02:40wife's tombstone.
01:02:42We filmed these shots in Yaroslavl in 2016,
01:02:45but it seems like it was all yesterday. Kuravlyov,
01:02:49of course, was recognized on the street, he never refused
01:02:52to talk to anyone, he warmly greeted everyone, because he
01:02:56valued and respected the audience for whom he worked.
01:03:00Leonid Kuravlyov found his happiness.
01:03:03A lifelong love, a faithful wife who gave him
01:03:07a daughter and a son. He succeeded as
01:03:09an actor. His characters, charming,
01:03:13kind, funny, we adore. Kuravlyov remained
01:03:16in his loved ones, children and grandchildren. His
01:03:20colleagues and friends remember him with the kindest words.
01:03:23And most importantly, he was true to himself, to his thoughts and
01:03:26beliefs. Agree, one can only
01:03:30dream of such a rich, bright, happy fate.
01:05:30and a fountain, no, I don't have fountains, do
01:05:34you have matches? I don't smoke, well, that's a shame, you're depriving yourself
01:05:38of pleasure in the dark
01:05:39forest,
01:05:43oh, do you have a conscience? I have
01:05:47plenty of conscience, but no
01:05:49time.
