June 30 did not become of actor Victor Proskurin. This was reported in social networks his wife Irina Honda. He was 68 years old. People’s artist of Russia Viktor Proskurin, despite the fact that he continued to act in movies, by and large, was forgotten. As he lived in recent years? What did you do? Why an in-demand artist has become as if invisible? We often ask such questions when the person leaves. In the movie he played more than 130 roles, this has not always been the main characters, but Proskurina and moments on the screen enough to create a memorable image.
Viktor Proskurin was born on 8 February 1952 in Kazakhstan, Atbasar of Akmola region, where he was the moment his parents. But he grew up in Moscow. Was involved in the drama club of the pioneer and in my Teens got into movies, starring in “the Eaglets Chapaya” Yuri Pobedonostsev. 1968 and began his film career.
But in drama school he did not from the first attempt. The growth is not the same, the shape of the eyes, it is too easy, no face at all, nothing special. After going round theatre schools, he enrolled in the Theater school. Schukin. And in 1973 was immediately accepted into the troupe of the Taganka Theater Yuri Lyubimov. But roles not given to him immediately and to wait would not, because after a couple of months left the theater. And mark Zakharov immediately gave him the role of Executioner in “Tiel”. In order Viktor Proskurin worked for 16 years, became the leading actor, played Salnikova in the play “In lists did not appear” based on the novel by Boris Vasilyev, participated in the famous Lenkom’s productions, such as “Dictatorship of conscience”, played a major role in “the Guy from our city”, the rest, fortunately, in the form of drama. But in 1988 moved to the Ermolova theatre Vladimir Fokine. He has played there in the play “farewell, Judas!” a man who all his life resisted his own name Judas, “the Invitation to execution” by Nabokov. And left too.
Proskurin – a godsend for movie: restrained, sparing symptoms, with maximum concentration in. The piercing look from under the eyebrows. He was an uncompromising man, partly eccentric. With him it was in this sense not so simple. Often played a major role. But remember “Turn,” Vadim abdrashitova, where he has only a moment. Hero Proskurina becomes an eyewitness to a traffic accident, which then will have to testify. But how this is done!
After the children’s debut in “the Eaglets Chapaya” Viktor Proskurin starred in “the Belarus station” Andrey Smirnov, playing a small role Petka, who almost died. The actor was then 19 years old. As 1973 came the “Big change” Alexey Korenev, where he played a careless student of the evening school Lyapicheva who preferred tuition hike on the dance floor, and it learned the whole country. Career in the movie was great, hot�� his Director, he may not have met. He played Vitaly Melnikov in “to marry the captain” the main role of captain-frontier guard Blinov, vacation home and met the heroine of Vera Glagoleva. Melnikov Proskurin is the epitome of decency and honesty. Heroes in his films are not so much more often used his negative charm. But here is another positive character in a host of negative characters – Commissar Novikov in “Military-the field novel” Peter Todorovsky. On Proskurina often wore a military uniform, not just the military. Uniform set the tone, but Proskurin asked his uniform. Each role was a boy, guts. Migratory work was not.
Proskurin played the Queen of spades Igor Maslennikov Hermann, and he in the “Treasures of Agra” from the TV series “the adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson” Above in “Cruel romance” by Eldar Ryazanov, just an episode in the “Foreign letters” Ilya Averbuch, but what. His wife – the Director Svetlana Proskurina – he played maybe the most accurate and the most expresses the essence of the actor’s work, starting with “parents ‘ day” where the whole life of his hero passes before your eyes in a short screen time. And then there was a film “Playground”, where he had one of the best roles. In “Leo Tolstoy” Sergei Gerasimov, Viktor Proskurin played Andrei Lvovich Tolstoy, and “the Tale of outstanding moon” Evgeny Tsymbal – Stalin. Could almost everything. But as it happens even with great artists, did not do half of what I was capable of.
