Yesterday’s broadcast “Tonight” was dedicated to the memory of Vyacheslav Tikhonov.
The actor became famous after the role of Stirlitz – intelligence officer Maxim Maksimovich Isaev. Work in the sensational Soviet TV series was a turning point in his biography. Yesterday, unusual details of the filming process of the legendary movie became known.
Russian and Soviet actor Vyacheslav Tikhonov died in 2009. He died at the age of 81 due to heart problems. Behind him are many roles in such films as: “We’ll Live Until Monday”, “War and Peace”, “It Was in Penkovo”, “White Bim Black Ear” and so on. However, recognition and disclosure of creative potential gave him participation in the television series “Seventeen Moments of Spring”.
Yesterday, Channel One aired the Tonight program dedicated to the actor’s 95th birthday. The guests of the studio discussed the talent of the famous actor, his life path and career. They could not but affect the role Strilica, which brought Tikhonov national recognition and love. An interesting fact was revealed about the filming of the TV movie “Seventeen Moments of Spring”. It turned out that children from the orphanage took part in the filming of the scene in which the Gestapo tortured babies.

People’s Artist of Russia Maya Menglet shared her memories of working with Tikhonov. Vyacheslav Vasilyevich devoted himself completely to work despite any difficulties. He was in the frame in the cold, wind and slush. “He carried me with a broken leg about 20 times in his arms. He himself howled for mercy. It was terribly cold, I’m still in this sable coat. I was then rather big, weighed 59 kilograms, ”said the actress.
The late artist could get used to any role, even one that was clearly not peculiar to him. “They didn’t do anything with him: they smeared him with peroxide, made a forelock, shaved off his eyebrows, his hair with peroxide, so that he looked as if he had been in the scorching sun all day. His protruding ear… He was absolutely his own guy, and when someone from a neighboring village came, he said: “Listen, what is it with you, they took a new tractor driver?”. But it turned out that this is not a new tractor driver, but an actor, ”recalled Maya Georgievna.
Vyacheslav Tikhonov and Nonna Mordyukova
Much is known about the successful path in the work of Vyacheslav Vasilyevich, but much less about his personal life. The actor was married to Nonna Mordyukova, whom he met as a student. Together with his wife, the star of Soviet cinema lived for 13 years. A son was born in the family Vladimir. Unfortunately, he lived a short life and died at the age of 40. The cause of early death was addiction to alcohol and illegal substances.
Later, the artist fell in love with the Riga actress Dzidra Ritenberg. According to rumors, the couple met for four years, but they never reached the registry office. Soon, Dzidra preferred Tikhonov to his colleague Yevgeny Yevgeny Urbansky, whom she married and built a family.
