Honored Artist - title or title? Famous actors who never received the title of “People's Artist of the USSR Who is given a People's Artist.

Many brilliant Soviet artists were awarded the highest state awards during their lifetime. However, some domestic movie stars, despite the people's love, were left without honorary titles.
Andrey Alexandrovich Mironov, who played more than a dozen bright, memorable film roles, played in the theater and performed on the stage. Among domestic cinema lovers there is, perhaps, not a single person who would not love this wonderful artist. In August 1987, Mironov was on tour in Riga and during the performance he lost consciousness right on the stage. Two days later, the artist passed away in the hospital - the doctors could not save Andrei Alexandrovich. The cause of his death was a massive cerebral hemorrhage. Seven years before the tragedy in Riga, Mironov was awarded the title of "People's Artist of the RSFSR". Before the recognition of his merits by the state in the form of the title "People's Artist of the USSR" he did not live.
Magnificent Kuravlyov, who was able to create unique lyrical and very funny images on the screen, is the owner of the title "People's Artist of the RSFSR". He was awarded it in 1976. Several decades later, the Soviet country was gone and Leonid Vyacheslavovich did not have time to receive the “People's Artist of the USSR”. Note that in 2012, the beloved artist was awarded the Order of Merit for the Fatherland, IV degree, for his huge contribution to the development of culture and art.

Actor and director Leonid Bykov died in a horrific car accident in 1979. Bykov had a lot state titles and awards. In 1973, Leonid Fedorovich was awarded the title of "People's Artist of the Ukrainian SSR" (Bykov lived in Ukraine and shot his films at a film studio in Kyiv). It is quite possible that he would have been awarded the "People's Artist of the USSR" if not for the ridiculous tragedy that ended the life of 50-year-old Bykov.



About Vladimir Semyonovich Vysotsky much has been said and written. He was a real people's artist, but without official recognition of this status. Note that the poet and actor was in second place in the list of domestic idols of the 20th century. In the first place is Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin. A huge number of streets in various cities of Russia and abroad are named after the poet and actor. He was a man who had a tremendous impact on the development of national culture, but he was not awarded the title of "People's Artist of the USSR". Vysotsky was an inconvenient person for the leadership of the party, since his characters often spoke the truth from the stage and from the screen, and his poems made you think. The work of Vladimir Semyonovich Vysotsky during his lifetime was not approved by the state, so he did not have official awards. Only in 1986 he was posthumously awarded the title of "People's Artist of the RSFSR".

In the filmography of a bright artist Yuri Kuzmenkov over a hundred paintings. The actor had an amazing, multifaceted talent - his characters (mostly Kuzmenkov starred in small roles) were often remembered by the audience much better than central characters. Like many artists from our selection, Kuzmenkov was the "People's Artist of the RSFSR". Kuzmenkov was not destined to get a higher rank.

For my acting career Elena Koreneva starred in more than fifty films and played in several theatrical productions. The title of "People's Artist of the USSR" Koreneva was not destined to receive, most likely because she married an American and went to her husband across the ocean. Elena returned to her homeland in 1993, but the USSR no longer existed, respectively, this title also sunk into oblivion. Elena Alekseevna is also known as the author of several books.

The presence in the announcement of a performance, movie or any other action after the name and surname of the artist of the title "folk" or "deserved" always attracts a lot of viewers to the show. And the point is not even in the loud and proud sound of such titles, but in the fact that artists of this rank always delight the viewer with a selfless game that penetrates deep into the soul of the viewer, acting on him like a drug, forcing him to come to the performances of great artists again and again. People's Artists of Russia and the USSR- figures of the theater, music, cinema, stage and circus, whose talent and dedication were recognized and appreciated at the state level. This title was the highest honorary award artist.

Creativity and politics

As a rule, the artist takes decades of hard work. creative work and to receive less honorable in the hierarchy of awards, but by no means detracting from the breadth folk love to the artist the title of "Honored Artist". Honored Artists of Russia and the USSR are representatives of the creative elite who have earned recognition by more than one generation of admirers.

During the existence of the USSR creative career The artist's career consisted of three main steps: obtaining the title of Honored Artist of one (and maybe several) of the fifteen republics. Then the title of Honored Artist of the USSR was awarded, and only after that there was a chance to climb to the highest step of the creative career podium - to receive the title of People's Artist of the USSR.

Unfortunately, the management machine in the Union was built in such a way that an artist who received one of the highest ranks could be thrown down from the podium and sent into a distant exile ( a prime example the fate of the favorite and girlfriend of Marshal of Victory Georgy Zhukov Lidia Ruslanova) from which, often, they did not return can serve. There were cases when the creators were deliberately "clamped" and, under all sorts of pretexts, the leaders withdrew their candidacy from promotion to honorary titles. So, by some inexplicable and absurd accident, the favorite of both adults and kids, the performer of the unforgettable roles of Turtle Tortila and Mrs. Hudson - Rina Zelena was awarded the title of People's Artist of the USSR on the day of her death. On April 1, 1991, a decree was issued conferring the title, and a few hours later the artist died. Yes, Primadonna Soviet stage Alla Pugacheva literally jumped into the closing door, having managed to become a People's Artist THE USSR. Many, whose popularity beat everything, however, did not exist at that moment, the ratings were completely left without the titles of a well-deserved or People's Artist THE USSR. Those were the actor Andrei Mironov, he was prevented from receiving the title by an early departure from life, and Vladimir Vysotsky, who, in the unanimous opinion of the country's leaders, lacked patriotism.

Now, the times are not the same, and state bodies are unlikely to refuse to receive the title of Honored Artist of Russia, which is awarded by decrees of the President of the Russian Federation, if they were presented with a reasonable petition.

The title of People's Artist of Russia is awarded annually by presidential decree on the eve of Cultural Worker's Day. As a rule, the title of "people's" artist can be obtained no earlier than after 10 years of being in the title of "honored" artist of Russia. For ballet dancers, this period is half as long. For obvious reasons, the age of a ballet dancer is short and titles come to them earlier than theater, circus, stage or cinema artists.

Any crisis in the country begins not with the economy, but with education and art. Artists are constantly fighting a spiritual crisis.

Artists are not made, they are born

However, you can work all your life in the theater or the Philharmonic, and for 35-50 years creative activity do nothing significant, do not give people pure art, do not make every phrase or note a revelation. You can get a specialized education - music, acting or directing, art or dramaturgy and not excite the public at the same time, or you can be self-taught and gather full halls of spectators in love with art.

In a word, not all talented musicians, actors, directors and dancers become famous in their field, because one talent is not enough: diligence is also needed, the ability to read between the lines and hear others, to be sensitive and firm. In a word, a true artist is a gifted person who knows how to tell people the most important dance or music, a role or a staged performance. Such people are noticed and celebrated.

What awards and titles are usually bestowed on the most talented and outstanding artists?

There are a lot of awards, often they are awarded not only and not so much by state leaders or the people, but by various editorial offices of magazines and newspapers, masters of art and special commissions.

When a person really means something in culture and art, he is noticed not only by the audience, but also by the leadership of the region and even the state, because art and bright personalities it has always played and is playing a paramount role in educating the younger generation, preserving the best cultural traditions states, elevation spiritual level each person.

There are only two honorary titles in the field of art and culture, and each of them is very important. It's about about the titles of Honored and People's Artist Russian Federation.

Both of these titles are equally important and honorable, and yet there is a certain difference between them.

A person can become an honored artist:

1. Having worked in one or another sphere of culture and art for at least ten years.
2. Achieved significant creative success in his field.
3. Achieved fame and wide public outcry.
4. Recognized by viewers (readers, listeners, and so on).
5. Award-winning leadership of the city, region and country.
6. Taking an active civic position.

Once a year, the head of an institution of culture and art (theater, philharmonic society, museum, gallery) or the head of the city submits to the Ministry of Culture a petition for conferring the title of Honored Artist to a particular person.

The application is accompanied by a collegial decision of the collective or its members (the arts council of the theater, for example) on the nomination of a professional for the title of Honored Artist and an award list, as well as a list of the most significant achievements of the candidate. The decision to award the title of Honored Artist of the Russian Federation is made by the President of the State.

The highest rank for creative person – People's Artist of the Russian Federation.

Of course, actors, singers and musicians not always beloved by the people officially receive the title of people's artists, but most often the award still finds its hero. What is needed for this?

The title of People's Artist of the Russian Federation is awarded to a person:

• Not less than five years after receiving the title of Honored Artist of the country.
• Achieved public recognition.
• He made a significant contribution to the development of the culture and art of the country.

The artist receives this title once and for all. The title of People's Artist of the Russian Federation is awarded by the President of the country, and every year on the same day - on the eve of the Day of the Worker of Culture. This most important holiday for all artists of the country is celebrated on March 25.

Perhaps this is the only day when actors, singers, composers and ballet dancers not only give themselves to the audience and work for others, but also become the heroes of the day themselves and receive the most stormy applause.

"People's Artist of the Russian Federation" is the highest honorary title of the Russian Federation, which is included in the state award system of the Russian Federation. Awarded for outstanding achievements in theatrical, musical, circus, variety and cinema arts.

Well-known figures of theatre, cinema, variety art can become people's and honored artists of Russia. What are the features of the respective honorary statuses?

What is the title of "People's Artist" awarded for?

Rank People's Artist can be awarded to cultural figures in such areas as cinema, television, ballet, music, theater, circus. At the same time, a person can be a performer (for example, in the status of an artist or dancer) or hold some responsible position (for example, be a director, choreographer, conductor, choirmaster, playwright).

The title "People's Artist" is included in the system of state awards of Russia. The grounds for its assignment may be:

• creating outstanding musical works, concert programs, highly artistic images, films, theatrical productions or making a significant contribution to their display in public through personal performance of roles;
• significant personal contribution to the development domestic art, artistic culture, education of new generations of creative people;
• the presence of merits recognized by the public, as well as representatives of the professional community, experts, critics.

The title of People's Artist is awarded to a person who has outstanding achievements in the field of art by decree of the President of the Russian Federation. Usually appropriate normative act timed to coincide with the Day of the cultural worker - that is, on March 25.

In order to receive the title of People's Artist, a person, as a rule, must have work experience in the field of art, which is at least 10 years after being awarded another Russian honorary title - Honored Artist. Consider what are the conditions for its receipt by artists.

What is the title of "Honored Artist" awarded for?

Rank honored artist, as well as the status of a people's artist, is assigned to representatives of the same areas of art and professional roles. Similarly, it is included in the system of Russian state awards.

The grounds for conferring the title of Honored Artist are as follows:

1. the presence of a representative of the art sphere of personal merits in the creation of cinema, theatrical productions, highly artistic images, concert programs, musical works that are highly appreciated by the public and recognized by representatives of the professional community, experts, critics;
2. personal participation of a representative of the field of art in the preservation, as well as the development of artistic schools (primarily national ones), in the development classic images Russian culture;

4. active participation of a representative of the sphere of art in concert activities, organization of theatrical performances, creation of various cultural programs, which, again, received public recognition, and also allowed Russian artists to adequately represent their country abroad at various festivals.

The title of Honored Artist, as a rule, is awarded on the condition that the total work experience of a person in the field of art is at least 20 years from the date of commencement of activities in the field of culture and creativity. But ballet dancers have the right to claim the appropriate award 10 years after the start of creative work. The title of Honored Artist is awarded to a person, provided that he has industry awards from government departments.

As in the case of the title of people's artist, the status of an honored worker of culture is acquired by a person after the President of the Russian Federation issues a corresponding decree - on the basis of documents from the State Awards Commission.

Comparison

The main difference between a people's artist and an honored artist is that the former receives his title if he has a significantly longer experience in the field of art, and also, as a rule, on the condition that he already has the title of honored artist. Which can be acquired by a theater, cinema or pop artist in 10 or 20 years (in the first case, the title in question can be received by ballet dancers, in the second - by figures in other areas of art if both have departmental awards).

The title of an honored artist, therefore, precedes the status of a people's artist - a person can receive a second status 10 years after the award of the first award.

Both state awards combine generally similar criteria for awarding, as well as the fact that both titles are awarded by decree of the President of the Russian Federation.

Having determined the difference between a folk and honored artist, we will record the conclusions in a small table.
