Everyone is well aware of his work not only as a successful theater and film actor, but also as a director. And today this talented person has won the hearts of domestic fans with his musical compositions.
The famous artist of Soviet and Russian theater and cinema, realized as a successful actor, screenwriter, director, producer, singer and composer, is known throughout the country today. Boris Galkin personifies an entire era of Soviet cinema and is rightfully considered one of the “last Mohicans” of the older generation of Russian artists.
Brief biography of Boris Galkin
The future artist was born in Leningrad on September 19, 1947 in a simple family. His father was a shoemaker and his mother was a nurse. However, a direct relationship with Field Marshal Mikhail Kutuzov speaks volumes about aristocratic heredity. Ever since childhood, which Boris spent in sports clubs and in the theater behind the scenes (his father worked as a shoemaker at the opera and ballet theater) in Riga, the boy showed himself as a purposeful and open person. By the way, he became a silver medalist of Latvia in sambo.
In addition, in the senior grades of secondary school, the young man had to deal with "adult" life, since his relatives could not provide him with the proper material support. However, the work of a theater illuminator, a gardener and a sailor did not prevent the young talent from regularly attending the acting studio of K. G. Titov.
And then the creative biography of Boris develops already in Moscow, where he enters the Theater School named after I. Shchukin to the course of Vera Lvova. There, his fellow students were Leonid Filatov and Alexander Kaidanovsky.
After graduating from the university, the artist's career was associated with the Theaters of Satire, Taganka, Mayakovsky, Pushkin, Mossovet, Novgorod Drama Theater. In the latter, Galkin made his debut as a director. He received his second education in directing courses at GITIS.
He is also well known for his television work on the program “Serving the Fatherland!”, Which he has been hosting since 2003. But the artist still got the peak of his popularity in the cinema. At the age of 15, he starred in his first film, Shore Leave. While studying at the drama school, he had to appear in a number of films, among which I would like to especially highlight "The Slave of Love", "In the Zone of Special Attention" and "At home among strangers, a stranger among friends."
The image of a strong-willed soldier was very realistically played in more than forty films, among which the most famous were "Landing Dad", "Return Move", "Retired", "Waiting for Colonel Shalygin". But it is not only the roles of people in uniform that attract the artist. His filmography includes the adventure film "Captain Sovri-Head", the comedy "The Journey Will Be Pleasant", the musical "Blue Carbuncle".
Until recently, the film actor Boris Galkin receives an average of 3-4 roles per year, which speaks volumes about his professional relevance.
Personal life of the artist
Boris Galkin's three marriages entered the treasury of his family life history. Irina Pechernikova was the artist's wife for 6 years. After parting without children, they remained friends. Then, for more than 30 years, the artist Elena Demidova performed the role of the keeper of the family hearth. Vladislav Galkin was adopted by him in this very marriage.
In 2013, Boris married pop singer Inna Razumikhina, whom he met at the Brest Film Festival. It was his current wife who helped him release two professional albums "Out of Schedule Flight" and "For the Honor and Glory of the Motherland."
