The master of Russian cinema, who reached the peak of his fame back in Soviet times, is still quite popular today. However, the artist's work, like that of many peers from among his colleagues in the profession, was quite clearly divided into "before" and "after".
Biography and personal life of Alexander Zbruev
Alexander Viktorovich Zbruev was born on March 31, 1938 in the capital. The father of the future star in the rank of Deputy People's Commissar of the USSR was shot when his son was only two months old. And then there was a link to the Yaroslavl region and a return home at the height of the war.
A courtyard childhood, poor school performance and playing sports formed that strong-willed core in the character of a young man, who later made him the favorite of the whole country. The theatrical family (brother and mother) almost forcibly forced Alexander to enter the Higher Theater School. Shchukin. Getting an education under the guidance of V. A. Etush allowed the young talent to completely plunge into the atmosphere of creativity.
And already in 1961 Zbruev was admitted to Lenkom.
Fame came in 1963, when the director Anatoly Efros singled out Alexander in the category of "talent". So he got the first major role in his life in the play "About Lermontov …". Then there was a serious work in "My Poor Marat" under the direction of A. Efros and a whole series of roles from the popular director Mark Zakharov.
Today, the famous artist continues his work at the Lenin Komsomol Theater, confessing loyalty to the stage that gave him fame and recognition of fans.
The artist's personal life cannot be called cloudless. The first marriage with Valentina Malyavina lasted four years. And then there was a marriage with Lyudmila Savelyeva and an affair with Elena Shanina.
Filmography of the artist
In 1962, Alexander Zbruev made his film debut in the film "My Younger Brother". In this work, I was lucky to act with Andrei Mironov and Oleg Dal, which in the most natural way gave a rather positive impetus for subsequent creativity. Then there was a film work in the film "A Span of the Earth", which is deservedly included in the "Golden Fund" of Russian cinema.
It is worth noting that the talented roles of Alexander Zbruev fit very harmoniously into his own character, tempered in the post-war period. The decline in creative activity occurred in 1990, when the demand for acting talents was minimal. The supporting roles in the "nineties" were the result of the fact that the actor had a rather negative attitude towards creativity associated with the glorification of criminal culture.
At the beginning of the "tenths" age and health began to affect quite seriously. But, despite this, Alexander Zbruev continued to play in "Marriage", "Cherry Orchard" and "Boris Godunov".
In addition to the aforementioned films, the following should be noted: “Two tickets for the afternoon session”, “Big change”, “This does not concern me”, “Shot in the back”, “The house that Swift built”, “At the dangerous line”, “Keep me, my talisman”,“Black rose - the emblem of sadness, red rose - the emblem of love”,“Salamander skin”.
Perhaps, few people in our country have not heard about these films. The talented work of the directors in them was multiplied by the genius of the great artist.
