On November 6, actor Anatoly Yabbarov, whom the whole country knew thanks to his small but bright role in the film “Gentlemen of Fortune,” died. He was 86 years old. Three months ago he suffered a heart attack, and in recent days he has not been feeling well. He played his last role as a writer, Konstantin Fedin, in a series about the Minister of Culture Ekaterina Furtseva.

A native of Baku, he grew up without a father in a large family. He was the seventh and youngest child. His father died when he was 3 months old. His childhood – difficult, hungry – occurred during the war and post-war times. Mom worked in a kindergarten and raised the children alone.

Anatoly developed an interest in acting as a child. He played in performances of the local House of Culture and studied choreography. But for some reason I didn’t become an artist after school; I went to Ashgabat to go to university. There he studied physics and mathematics for a year and a half, worked at the Ashgabat Russian Drama Theater, which was well known at that time. Having tasted all the delights of acting, he went to Moscow to study acting – and entered GITIS to take a course from the excellent teacher and Moscow Art Theater student Joseph Raevsky.

Anatoly Yabbarov worked in various theaters, and since 1996 he was a member of the troupe of the Film Actor Theater, traveled around the country, played in plays, and directed them himself. In 1996, he was awarded the title “Honored Artist of the Russian Federation.”

His first film role – Volodya in “Once Upon a Time There Were an Old Man and an Old Woman” – came in 1964. Grigory Chukhrai’s debut is worth a lot. His hero argued with the Komsomol members, who, according to him, did not know the fear of God, cursed, and drank. His remarks were divided into quotes, as was the case after the role of Mitya in the comedy “Gentlemen of Fortune” by Alexander Sery.

Alexander Alov and Vladimir Naumov loved him. At the first opportunity, they invited me into their films; they knew that he could play a small role masterfully. They knew a lot about actors. Yabbarov starred with Alov and Naumov in the films “A Bad Joke” based on Dostoevsky, “Running” based on Bulgakov, where he played the role of a soldier with coffins, and in “The Legend of Tila”. Then, when Alov died, he starred with Naumov in “La Gioconda on the Asphalt.”

For Lev Kulidzhanov, Anatoly Yabbarov played a guest at the wake in Crime and Punishment. He worked with Evgeny Karelov in “Two Captains”, Vladimir Basov in “Return to Life”, starred in the last film by Yuli Karasik “Without the Sun” based on Gorky’s play “At the Depths”, in “Completely Lost” by Georgy Danelia based on the novel by Mark Twain. Yabbarov was lucky – almost always these were films based on significant literary works, and the directors were first-rate.

He played his last role as a writer, Konstantin Fedin, in the biographical series Furtseva. The Legend of Catherine” by Sergei Popov. The film was released in 2011. And then there was silence.
