Vasily Shukshin

His Last year life was very successful... Sergei Bondarchuk offered Shukshin the role of Lopakhin in the film “They Fought for the Motherland.” Filming began in August 1974 on the Don. By the beginning of October, Shukshin had almost completely completed the role; he only had to star in the last episode. On October 4 he was supposed to return to Moscow...

On October 1, Shukshin felt well. He called home from the post office in Moscow, went to the bathhouse, and watched the USSR-Canada hockey match on TV until late at night with everyone else. At the end of it they separated. At about nine in the morning Burkov went out into the corridor with the intention of waking up Shukshin. He recalls: “I knocked on Shukshin’s door. The door was not locked. But I didn’t go in. I was scared of something. I called out to him. It was time for him to get up for filming. He didn’t answer. Well, I think, let him sleep...”
From Burkov’s recollections: “I walked down the corridor and ran into Gubenko. “Nikolai,” I asked, “look at Vasya, he’s going to be filming soon, but for some reason he’s not getting up.” He came in. He started shaking him by the shoulder, the hand seemed lifeless, he touched the pulse, but there was none. Shukshin died in his sleep. “From heart failure,” the doctors said."

There is a version that on that fateful night a murder occurred on the ship “Danube”. After all, Vasily Makarovich never complained about his heart. Before filming, Shukshin underwent examination at the “Kremlin hospital”. According to the testimony of some members of the film crew, a day or two before the actor’s death, a certain man appeared on the set where the film “They Fought for the Motherland” was filmed. stranger. And no one knew where he came from and for what purpose he hung around there. And he disappeared immediately after the death of Vasily Makarovich.

Zoya Fedorova

On December 11, 1981, 71-year-old actress Zoya Fedorova was shot in the back of the head in her three-room apartment No. 243, building 4/2 on Kutuzovsky Prospekt. The murder has still not been solved. Among his possible motives are the actress’s alleged involvement in secret KGB operations (there were rumors about the KGB’s involvement in the murder) and her connection with the so-called “diamond mafia,” which consisted mainly of relatives of high-ranking Soviet officials and was engaged in the purchase and resale of jewelry and antiques.

Victor Tsoi

On August 15, 1990, at 12:15 p.m., at 35 km of the Soka-Talsi highway (Latvia), a dark blue Moskvich-2141 car collided with an Ikarus-280 regular bus. The driver of the Moskvich was the famous musician, leader of the Kino group Viktor Tsoi.

Official version: “the car was moving along the highway at a speed of at least 130 km/h, the driver Viktor Robertovich Tsoi lost control. V.R. Tsoi’s death occurred instantly...”
From the case materials:
"Ikarus-250" drifted off the road into the small river Teitupe, behind the bridge... The driver J. K. Fibiks, who works at the Tallinn branch of Latselkhoztehniki, escaped with minor bruises and fright. Before that, he took a tourist group to the airport and was returning back.
The new "Moskvich-2141" Y6832 MM was thrown 18 meters towards the bridge by a powerful blow. Only the rear bumper remained intact. Upon examination, it is noticeable that the impact on the car occurred from left to right, front to back. Apparently, the front bumper of the Ikarus went over the hood of the Moskvich straight into the cabin. The steering wheel is bent on the driver's side, the seats are knocked down, and the front panel is broken. The hood flew off, everything else was crushed."

A forensic medical examination showed that no alcohol was found in the blood of the deceased. Death occurred as a result of an accident from multiple injuries to the body. No criminal case was initiated “due to the lack of corpus delicti in the actions of the drivers.” And, therefore, forensic, investigative and other examinations were not carried out.

Mike Naumenko

In August 1991, Mike Naumenko, the leader of the Zoo group, was found dead in his room in a communal apartment on Razyezzhaya Street: the cause of his death was a fracture of the base of the skull. Doctors determined that death occurred on August 27, 1991 from a cerebral hemorrhage.
The circumstances of his death remain largely mysterious. As rock journalist N. Kharitonov wrote: “With Tsoi, at least, everything was clear - if not in essence, then in form - how it all happened. Mike... simply disappeared, leaving no traces.”

The drummer of the Zoo group, Valery Kirilov, expressed a different point of view: according to him, Mike Naumenko really died from a cerebral hemorrhage, but it did not occur due to natural causes, but due to a fracture of the base of the skull as a result of a brutal blow dealt to him in the yard in time of robbery. This is evidenced by the loss of Mike Naumenko’s personal belongings.
There is also testimony from one teenager who allegedly saw Mike being lifted from the ground in the yard. After the attack, Mike did not die on the spot, but managed to go to his home, but there he completely weakened and lay unconscious for a long time, unnoticed by anyone in the communal apartment. When his loved ones finally found him and called an ambulance, it was already too late.
Alexey Rybin, producer of the album of songs by Mike Naumenko “Park of the MIKE period,” had his own version: “Alcohol is to blame, of course. The night before his death, Vasin drank heavily. Mike was bad, in a very serious condition, with a black face. "In this state, falling with the back of your head on the asphalt is easier than a lung. Mike received a fracture of the base of the skull - a typical alcoholic death, when a person in a deep intoxication falls on his back."

Igor Talkov was killed on October 6, 1991. It all happened in the St. Petersburg Yubileiny Sports Palace: the singer was shot right outside the dressing room as a result of a brawl with his concert director Valery Shlyafman and Igor Malakhov. The second possible suspect in the singer’s murder, Shlyafman, now lives in Israel. The criminal investigation into Talkov’s death was suspended several years ago, but was not closed.

During the investigation into Talkov's murder, his administrator Valery Shlyafman became one of the main suspects along with Aziza's bodyguard Igor Malakhov, who started the shootout on October 6, 1991.

ZY There is no point in writing about Galkin, Solovyov and Tsoi. And so everyone remembers it well.

There are quite a few of them in our country. Among them there are those who did not remain shadows in the USSR, but year after year they become the favorites of more and more generations. Because films with their participation still inspire, make you sad, laugh and sympathize. They collect money from television screens all over the country, as well as serious funds from advertising during the screening of these highly rated films. Why not pay at least a small percentage to attract an audience to aging actors and directors is not clear. After all, their contribution to culture is invaluable.

Charming Balzaminov, Coward from the legendary trio, Pan Tsypa, Khmyr and many, many more beloved characters - all this is People's Artist of the USSR Georgy Vitsin. His fame flourished during the times Soviet Union, and in the 90s he, together with great trinity, toured a lot.

Vitsin played in the theater until the end, and gave his rich apartment to his beloved daughter. He moved to a Khrushchev-era apartment building, where he began to avoid public life and even communication with neighbors.

In the small circle of his acquaintances, they recall that Georgy Mikhailovich was distinguished by his special kindness. He fed birds, picked up and looked after yard dogs, although he himself lived on a modest pension and fees for rare performances. He did not accept help from fans, citing the fact that people give him their last. He pointedly did not even take the money sent to the hospital.

He died after a long illness in his ninth decade. Behind the modest pensioner's coffin were only the widow and daughter and several neighbors.

Semyon Farada

Beloved character actor Semyon Farada dropped out of theater and film life several years before his death. His health did not allow him to work at full capacity.

Semyon Farada was treated in ten hospitals. In one of them he underwent surgery - an artificial valve was installed in his heart. He handled it well, even boasting that he could play football. But after some time, the actor received news of the death of Grigory Gorin.

The sad news caused a severe shock, which triggered a stroke. The actor's speech was impaired and it became difficult to walk. It's been a while more than a year, and Semyon Lvovich again ends up in the operating room - this time the star actor broke his femoral neck. Three operations only worsened the condition of cardio-vascular system Farads. He is diagnosed with a second stroke.

All these years, the actor, unable to act in film, lived in real poverty. No money was allocated for expensive treatment; the actor’s family spent all this time getting out on their own. Largely due to lack of funds for expensive medicines, famous artist died of heart failure at the age of 76.

Sergey Filippov

Brilliant Kisa Vorobyaninov, king of the episode, real star Soviet cinema Sergei Filippov ended his life in bitter loneliness and lack of money.

The actor hated his fame, because he was often recognized, identified with stupid and clumsy characters, bothered on the street, could be stopped without a twinge of conscience, was approached with hugs, and considered “one of their own” people. Angry at the shameless people's love, Filippov became a real recluse.

In 1965, the actor was diagnosed with brain cancer. He died hard and alone. Friends of Sergei Nikolaevich wrote in their memoirs that Filippov was literally starving, but his son, who for some reason did not care about his father, terrible disease, insists that dad was happy, collecting bronze figurines, mahogany furniture and antiques.

Meanwhile, the fact remains: the body of the famous actor lay in an empty apartment for two weeks. The public’s favorite did not save money for the funeral; Lenkom refused to bury him at his own expense. Alexander Demyanenko, having learned about the trouble that is called “with a hat around the world,” found a few pennies, which were enough to see off the hero of the main Soviet films in last way. My son didn't make it to the funeral.

Tamara Nosova

Weil Grigory/ITAR-TASS

The kindest plump girl from “The Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors” quickly transformed into the intelligent and ironic Donna Rosa from “Hello, I’m your aunt!” Tamara Nosova’s talent remains unforgettable even today, but at the end of her life the actress seemed to be forgotten.

She hid her origins all her life because she was embarrassed to admit that own father abandoned her with her brothers orphanage- after the death of my mother. Tamara Makarovna was raised foster family, to which the actress was very devoted. Native father appeared only when Toma became famous. I recognized her at the cinema and offered to communicate, but they did not become friends: Tamara was against it.

Until old age she will cling to her adoptive mother, and after her death she will withdraw into herself and begin to lead a reclusive life. Nosova did not have any children; she entered old age with a meager pension, which was not even enough for rent. Towards the end of her life she was forced to eat in canteens for the homeless.
