You are a veteran of the Taganka, remember, Vysotsky appeared in the theatre. What he was, joined the troupe?
Anatoly Vasilyev: I used to know. We are in a student theater schools met, there is a strong party was. Student gatherings with loaf, with a piece of sausage and guitars. Songs, chat, jokes… Vladimir there often appeared. First remember him singing “Taganka” and “Maples painted the town” Kochanowski. The rest of the song was on the underworld theme, and later he himself didn’t love them. Then many people were fascinated by the guitar and sang something like this, so he especially was not allocated. At least for me. I also sang old songs I loved.
and so we met. And Vysotsky on Taganka for me appeared right on stage. In “the Good person of Szechwan” he played the nephew. Theater is recruited, followed by the course organized by his Lyubimova (there I) there were new people. They thought someone took it, others do not. Was the normal life of the young theatre. Vladimir pretty much played his first role, and then moved to the other and drove off.
What was he like when you in the Dorm met him? What gave the impression?
Anatoly Vasilyev: Bad.
Why?
Anatoly Vasilyev: Well, as you say… I did not like the way Vysotsky, which is often too late to save him, he was a very active person. But it was my problem, not his. He immediately “took the whole table”, all the covers pulling. He started to sing, tell jokes… And I was terribly annoyed.
what is it saved?
Anatoly Vasilyev: From life. I always found it hard to ask for the role, to delve into a project, and Volodya in this sense, it was good annoying. He wanted to play here and there, and then to do it. As an adult, all recognized the person he wanted to shoot, and shoot, and write, and publish, and to the collection of poems was… And so on. It was his way of life which – over time – not annoying and say… alarming, I suppose. But it was a very enviable trait.
When Vysotsky came to fame and he ceased to be a regular actor with the guitar in the coat-burleske…
Anatoly Vasilyev: I, like many others in the theater, did not notice. We woke up only when he died. But first… Actor of our theatre picks up the guitar. I sing, Ivan DYKHOVICHNY sings, Vitaly Shapovalov. And Vysotsky sang, too. As he went out to another orbit, we missed.
But he sounded from all the tape from all angles!
Anatoly Vasilyev: When he sings you’ve got in the dressing room, and then all of the recorders, especially the difference you feel. Of tape recorders, by the way, sounded a – Okujava, Kim, Vizbor. Then there was a tape life. At Grushinsky festival came from all over the Union guys and gals with the tape recorders. Run between the fires, and recorded singing. Cloud was such people, we Volodya was among them. And when he broke up, we sevaneli. Those who were distant from him, fans that writes his songs, caught it before we did.
Theatre is understood that during the funeral of Vladimir Vysotsky, in which half of Moscow gathered?
Anatoly Vasilyev: What are half of Moscow! The Whole Of Moscow. The funeral stunned everyone, even those who knew about Vladimir a lot. Moscow was empty, the Olympics are still going, and suddenly a crowd of people… It shook and knocked everyone, nobody expected it to happen. It was an exclamation point, summarizing his life, the powerful final chord.
they Say that the main feature of Vladimir Vysotsky was kindness and faithfulness.
Anatoly Vasilyev: the Main features had many, but the fact that he was an amazing friend, that’s exactly right. If he was friends with someone, then for him it was sacred. He even the Marina said that is more important to me, not you, not what is considered to be important in life, and friends.
And what about kindness… To friends he was kind to foes unkind. Someone was angry, he could openly tell him to go away.
What killed him?
Anatoly Vasilyev: I think there was a big complex of everything. And his attitude, and the desire to escape to some extent where he could not get in. And he very early felt that to escape from life. And that he is at risk.
what?
Anatoly Vasilyev: says it All in his poetry – death all the time around him wandering, on the wing. “And I with death switched to “you”…” And in this sense close to the end of course he was a bit rushed himself, drove. Plus the character – and that time and this.
he did not finish, what role did not play.
Anatoly Vasilyev: About the role can not say, but our country is so wonderful lives, that material had a lot. He would have wrote so much!
If you have now had the opportunity to talk to him, what would you say?
Anatoly Vasilyev: I would say: “hi, Volodya!”
“Dear Marina, I am a correspondent of “Rossiyskaya Gazeta” in Paris Prokofyev Vyacheslav. In January 2009, before Your trip to Moscow, I came to You in Maisons-Lafitte. Trees and shrubs in the garden were covered with snow. We had a long conversation, and in the beginning maybe you remember the Robin flew in and began to listen carefully to the conversation, then You paid attention.
/…/ I would be very grateful if You were able to answer me verbally on the phone or, if you wish, in writing to Adramy e-mail three questions, which are essentially one and the same. “Paris Vysotsky: than Vysotsky was Paris? Where happened that he had visited, where he loved to walk? What can you tell about these places Russian – sincere fan of Vysotsky, stranded in Paris?”
unfortunately, the answer is Marina Vlady was very succinct: “I’m sorry, but I don’t answer more questions. All the best to you! M. V.”.
Nikolai Dupak was the Director of the Taganka from 1963 to 1977 and from 1978 to 1990. In the future, the Taganka theatre he came to Lyubimov invited him to work in 1964. Dupak invented and adopted the new name of the Moscow theater of drama and Comedy and the emblem of the theatre – a red square with black words on the perimeter. In the same year, the troupe of the Taganka was adopted Vysotsky.
Nicholas Lukyanovich you, as far as I know, took Vysotsky to work, thanks to you he got on Taganka.
Nikolai Dupak: I was recommended this our actress Taya dodina. She is very well spoken. Said that he has failed life and in the theater, and in General. He is very honest and very unhappy. I believe Tae.
Human Vysotsky was good?
Nikolai Dupak: Awesome! Uniquely talented and very kind.
What killed him?
Nikolai Dupak: It is operated so that the mind boggles. He was like a cunt. Played in ten concerts per day to buy in a thrift store pendant Marina Vlady eight thousand. Had to support a family, to help my mother and myself something to eat.
