Biography
Vadim Semenovich Spiridonov - Soviet actor, Honored Artist of the RSFSR, famous movie lovers on such films like "hot snow", "stoves-shop", "Eternal Calls", "Battalions are asking for fire" and many others. He also worked a lot on the voice acting of foreign paintings and removed his own short-drawn tape "Two people". Spiridonov is considered one of the greatest custody of the last Soviet decade. His images of negative characters are still often called unsurpassed.
Contrary to the common myth, Vadim Spiridonov's biography takes its beginning not at all from the Siberian village. The actor comes from the Moscow intelligent family. His mother was the chief accountant, and his father worked as a leading engineer of the plant. Also, the fiction of the public is the criminal past Vadim: the boy grew up in the situation of love and respect, but, of course, he knew how to stand up for himself. The main part of the childhood of Spiridonov spent in the Sokolniki area and in the middle classes began to attend theatrical circle, which was organized by the leadership of the Metropolitan Plant "Salute". But besides the drummer, Vadim was strongly fond of sports and even attended the boxing section.
After the eighth grade, the young man goes to the evening form of training. Since all students of the school of working young people were obliged to work, he settled on the plant of his father as a locksmith-collector. But Vadim knew perfectly well that in this position he was only temporary, because by the end of the school was 100% sure of the choice of profession: Spiridonov had already seen himself on the screen. The guy from the first attempt goes to the MCAT Studio School, he likes, but because of a unilent incident associated with a fight, the student is deducted. Vadim considered such a decision unfair, so when some time leaders offered him to recover, the young man refuses.
Instead, he successfully examines the exams in several other metropolitan theatrical universities. Having a solid choice, Spiridonov stops on VGIK, as the group of famous teachers were recruited, Sergey Gerasimov and Tamara Makarova. For these teachers, the statement was entrenched that almost all of their graduates become stars. Indeed, Natalia Gvozdikova, Nikolay Yeremenko Jr., Natalia Belokhvostikova and other very popular artists studied with Vadim in one stream. After graduating from the university in 1971, Spiridonov became an actor of the Camera Actorera Theater Studio and began to regularly appear on the sets of domestic film studios.
Films
The first role in the filmography of Vadim Spiridonov was the worker of Innocent Konovalov from Social Melodrama director Sergei Gerasimov "At Lake". It should be noted that the actor then studied only in the second year, but he was already able to speak in a duet with Vasily Shukshin. The famous artist highly appreciated the work of Spiridonov and invited him to participate in the filming of the lyrical comedy "Stove-shop". In the same year, the young artist successfully appeared in the Military Drama "Hot Snow", film "Peter Ryabinkin" and the Siberian Social Drama.
For the first time, Vadim Spiridonov films were talking with the mention of his name after entering the screens of the Dilogy "Love Earth" and "Fate," where he played the former fist of Fedor Makashin, who became a politzham traitor during the Great Patriotic War. The artist so realistic portrayed the negative hero that many spectators began to perceive his personality through the prism of an impartial character. Later, the actor told that he was stopped on the streets, while turning to the Fedor, they spent the streams of hatred and even several times they wanted to beat. Another negative role, the middle brother of Fyodor Savelyev, was brought more than Glory, in the Eternal Call.
But there are a lot of films Vadim Spiridonov, in which he appears before the public and in heroic images. For example, the spectators of his colonel Vladimir Iverzeva were very loved in the military drama "Battalions ask fire" and the commander of the Voloch group in the patriotic picture "To live to dawn", Captain of the Border Office Valery Orekhov from the Sea Film Center "People in the Ocean" and Flero officer from the drama about Soviet Cosmonauts "Taming of Fire". A special place among the roles of Vadim Spiridonova occupies commander Semyon, which he portrayed on the screen twice, in the films "the first equestrian" and "not subject to" the legends of the domestic cinema.
Near Vadim, very talented artists were always shot. Even in the late 80s, when the decline in the cinema began, the acting films Vadim Spiridonov was impressive. Only in the militant "Criminal Quartet", where he entered the image of Mafiosi Lobanova, Nikolai Karachentsov, Vladimir Pepsov, Boris Shcherbakov and many other stars starred shoulder. And in a detective, "Souvenir for the prosecutor", which became the last project in the life of Vadim, Yuri Solomin and Galina Belyaeva are involved in the foreground.
It is impossible not to say that Vadim Semenovich tried himself in filmmaster. He created a short picture "Two people" and was preparing to create a full-length film. He had several ideas, from historical tape to a large-scale project, which would be the Soviet analogue of popular "Star Wars". And although they already planned a place for filming, they began to pick up the cast, but all these ideas were not destined to come true.
Personal life
The actor was very good and, as all his classmates and classmates celebrate, was considered the most enviable guy. But the personal life of Vadim Spiridonov, who turned out to be a monochombus, was always connected with only one woman, his wife Valentina. Interestingly, they met in fairly early childhood, as they lived on the same street in Sokolniki. On the Migni, the boy drew attention immediately, but terribly shunted the first feeling, the more the girl was two years older. In the end, she had no one time to face jerking for a braid, flying snowballs and knocked out a portfolio from hand.
When Vadim moved from Sokolnikov, the paths of children were separated, but a little later, they again saw each other in the Palace of Culture. Young people began to meet, and at the age of 18, Spiridonov married her beloved, and secretly from his parents. Since then, Vadim Spiridonov's personal life was inextricably connected with Valentina. They lived together more than a quarter of a century, up to his death, although, as a woman says, because of the turbulent characters could be a hundred times to disperse in different directions. Vadim had no children. He and his wife were thinking to adopt the child from the orphanage, but this idea remained unrealized.
In everyday life, the actor was unpretentious man. He did not strive for material wealth, he lived in a typical apartment on the outskirts of Moscow and was quite satisfied with this. The main hobby Vadim were books. He read a lot, mostly historical literature. Also Spiridonov collected directories on medicine and psychology, his desk book was a big medical encyclopedia, which he regularly studied.
With the name of the actor, many myths are connected. They say that he was born in Siberia, then they tell about the criminal past or difficulties with roles, although all the directors loved him very much and were happy with pleasure. But the main gossip, which has no reason for reason, is its fictional addiction to alcohol. In fact, Spiridonov drank much less frequently than the average Russian, which is associated with its congenital kidney disease. He could afford to sit in the company with friends, but this happened more often than one or twice a year.
Death
In the late 80s, the actor became severely fascinated by new-fashioned teachings - astrology and numerology. He was personally familiar with Juna Davitashvili, Paul Globet, his wife Tamara Globa and other astrologers. With their help, he calculated that the positive number "7" is bad for him. In a conversation with his wife Spiridonov, he said several times that he would die of seventh number, and once even expressed a desire to go back on December 7, a day before his wife's birthday.
Whether this coincidence, or the actor convinced himself so much, or really fate was behind his calculations, but on December 7, 1989, a man died. In the morning he felt normally, he had a good mood and was preparing to fly away in Minsk in the evening. Deciding to sleep in front of the road, Spiridonov lay down in bed and no longer woke up. As the doctors later installed, Vadim Semenovich, who was just recently turned 45 years old, died in a dream due to the attack of acute heart failure. Three days later he was buried at the Vagankovsky cemetery in Moscow.
