The cause of death is now being clarified. According to journalists, the actor was disconnected from life support systems.

the site remembered the brightest moments of the life of the legendary Oleg Tabakov.

Hungry years in a communal apartment

Oleg Pavlovich started working early. And it was not driven by ambition, but by necessity. Having spent his childhood in a communal apartment, the future artistic director learned early on the value of the ruble!

Heavy hungry years came at the moment when Oleg Pavlovich's father went to the front. And the boy and his mother were evacuated to the Urals, where his mother worked in a military hospital near the Elton railway station ... Returning from the war, his father left his family, and 15-year-old Oleg was so worried that he often ran away from home.

When my mother tried all possible ways to bring her son home and nothing helped, she took Oleg to the Young Guard drama club at the Palace of Pioneers. He was lucky to get to the teacher Natalya Iosifovna Sukhostav, whom Tabakov later called his godmother in the acting profession. Although at the audition he spoke very quietly and unintelligibly, the woman accepted him into the studio, and after a few months he shone on stage in the lead roles ...

And after graduating from school, he went to enter Moscow. Few would have thought that the boy, who had played for three years on the stage of the local drama club, would enter the Moscow Art Theater School and GITIS on the first try.

First heart attack at 29

In educational performances, Tabakov played mostly positive roles, for which he was even called the "pink boy." And at the same time acted in films. At first, these were roles in extras, but in 1956 he got the main role in the film "The Tight Knot". And yet, Tabakov gained truly national fame thanks to the theater ...

The creation of Tabakov and his classmates (among them were Oleg Efremov, Igor Kvasha, Galina Volchek, Yevgeny Evstigneev. - Approx. Woman's Day) of the Sovremennik Theater was a real revolution ... The only thing the actors wanted was to abandon Soviet remnants.

At first, Sovremennik lived under the wing of the Moscow Art Theater, but after the third performance, Nobody, the theater management accused the artists of violating traditions and kicked them out of the room. Only 4 years later the theater knocked out its own building, located on Mayakovsky Street ...

In the 1950s and 1960s, all of Moscow knew about the talented actors of the Sovremennik Theater. According to the memoirs of the actors, at that time they were so in demand that sometimes Mosfilm employees waited for them right at the exit from the theater, put them in a car and drove them to the set.

The crazy work schedule affected Tabakov's health - at the age of 29 he had a heart attack. The doctors' forecasts were disappointing ... He was advised to stop performing forever. Of course, Oleg Pavlovich disobeyed the doctors.

hard head

I understood my problem: yes, he is married, and sooner or later I will need to arrange my life, ”Zudina admitted in an interview with the Moskovsky Komsomolets website. - He did not leave, the situation was stable, as the proposed circumstances. I acted, I earned money myself, I was independent, I didn’t have to be provided. But I was absolutely in love and ready to meet anywhere and at any time of the day. She didn’t demand anything, and I wasn’t ready for the demands.”

Oleg Tabakov: biography

Oleg Pavlovich Tabakov was born on August 17, 1935 in Saratov in a family of doctors. The future actor spent the first years of his life in a communal apartment. Childhood memories of Oleg Tabakov are very bright. He was surrounded by many loving people: mother, father, two grandmothers, uncle and aunt, stepbrother and sister.

However, this happy, serene life ended in June 1941. In the first days of the war, my father volunteered for the front. At the end of 1942, Oleg Tabakov's mother fell ill with typhoid fever and, even after recovery, could not get on her feet for a long time.

In the spring of 1943, Maria Andreevna, taking her children with her, went to the town of Elton, located in the north of the Caspian Sea. Here, having joined the army, she worked in the hospital as a general practitioner for two years. In Elton, Oleg went to school. But then the family returned to Saratov, where Tabakov continued his studies at a male secondary school.

As an eighth-grader, Oleg Tabakov got into the well-known for the whole Saratov children's theater "Young Guard" under the direction of Natalya Iosifovna Sukhostav, whom he calls his godmother in the acting profession. Classes in the children's theater played a decisive role in choosing a future profession.

Oleg Tabakov decided to enter the theater institute in the capital. He applied to the Moscow Art Theater School. Nemirovich-Danchenko and GITIS. He was accepted immediately into both institutes, but Tabakov preferred the Moscow Art Theater, which he considered "the pinnacle of theater pedagogy."

The head of the course, where Oleg Tabakov studied, was Vasily Toporkov, one of the largest theater teachers of his time, People's Artist of the USSR, head of the Acting Department of the Studio School. Simultaneously with Tabakov, future stage masters Valentin Gaft, Galina Volchek, Leonid Bronevoy, Evgeny Evstigneev, Oleg Basilashvili, Tatiana Doronina, Mikhail Kazakov and others studied at the Moscow Art Theater School.

Theater

After the Studio School, the young actor was assigned to the Stanislavsky Moscow Drama Theater. But fate brought Tabakov to the new theater created by Oleg Efremov, which was later called Sovremennik.

After Efremov left for the Moscow Art Theater, Sovremennik was headed by Oleg Tabakov for almost seven years. In December 1986, an order was issued to create three new theaters in Moscow. Among them was the Studio Theater under the direction of Oleg Tabakov. So his cherished dream of his own theater came true, which was soon dubbed "Snuffbox".

The beginning of the Snuffbox's journey was not cloudless. Some critics did not take seriously the emergence of a new studio. But in the auditorium of the theater on Chaplygin Street there was always a full house. The first work of the Studio Theater under the direction of Oleg Tabakov was the play "Armchair" staged by Tabakov based on the novel by Yuri Polyakov on March 1, 1987.

During the reign of the Tabakov Theater, a radical renewal of the repertoire and cast takes place here. A number of young and talented actors are accepted into the troupe: Marina Neyolova, Konstantin Raikin, Yuri Bogatyrev and others. The repertoire has also been updated. Oleg Tabakov attracted famous directors and writers to the theater for new works, bringing fresh ideas and a new impetus for creative development.

The first heroes of Tabakov were called "pink boys". A schoolboy named Oleg Savin, played by Tabakov in the film "A Noisy Day" based on the play "In Search of Joy" by Viktor Rozov, is the embodiment of the best features in the people of Khrushchev's time. Directness of judgment, purity of thoughts, the ability to defend one's position - this all applies to Oleg Savin, and to Viktor Bulygin from the film "People on the Bridge", and to Sasha Yegorov from "Probationary Period", and to Seryozha from "Clear Sky".

Oblomov ”(1979) Oleg Pavlovich brilliantly brought to life the image of Ilya Ilyich. In the same year, Tabakov appeared in another legendary Soviet film, Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears. In D'Artagnan, he very accurately presented the viewer with the stupid King Louis. Another bright character was embodied by the actor in "The Man from the Boulevard des Capucines", where Tabakov literally merged with the image of the money-hungry owner of the saloon, Harry McCue. His partners in the film were Andrei Mironov, Nikolai Karachentsov, Lev Durov, Leonid Yarmolnik.

With his participation, a large number of children's films and fairy tales were released.
