Yuri Solomin and Ekaterina Vasilyeva in the film "Ordinary Miracle"

In the 80s, Yuri Solomin often changed the role. The actor became the director of the bank in a detective "The scandalous incident in Brichmilla", the investigator of the prosecutor's office in the criminal film "Creek Tishina", King Fedor Ioannovich in the historical drama "Education". In 1984, the artist fulfilled the role of Nikolai Miklukho-Maclay in the biographical film "Coast of His Life". In the Drama "Singing Russia" Solomin tried on the basis of the founder of the oldest choir team of Russia Mitrofan Pyatnitsky.

In the 90s, the actor is filmed mainly in the spectacle televersions of the Small Theater, but in 1992 he takes part in the work on the drama "Dreams about Russia", where the role of the Besborodko is playing.

Since the beginning of the 2000s, the situation changes, Solomin receives roles in the films "Rest", "Challenger", "Farewell in June". In the Drama "Moscow Saga" Yuri Solomin played Surgeon Gradov, whose spouse was performed by Inna Churikova. In the screening of 2005, the plays of Anton Chekhov "Seagull", which Margarita Terekhova, was removed, Yuri Solomon had the role of Brother Arkadina - Peter Sorina.

In the second half of the 2000s, Yuri Solomin appears on the screen. With his participation, the series "Heavy sand", "Isaev", "Point of boiling". In 2013, the shooting of the "Boulevard Ring" melodrama, in which they starred, were completed. For Yuri Mefodievich, this work has become the last filmography. After this show, the artist no longer appeared on the screen.

Personal life

Yuri Solomin is constant not only in work, but also in personal life. As a child, he told his parents that he would marry once and for all. So it turned out. With his wife Olga Nikolaev, the actor lived for over 60 years. They met when they were students of theatrical school. Olga was late for the choreography lesson and ranked the only free place next to the solomin. As soon as he saw her, I realized that she was his fate.

Tomorrow the Small Theater opens a new season. Izvestia met with the artistic director of the famous troupe by the People's Artist of the USSR Yuri Solomin and asked him about creative plans, attitudes towards modern plays and failed projects.

- Yuri Mefodievich, what play the small theater will open the 262nd season?

Our theater is national heritage. For many years, we have a tradition - to open the season is Ostrovsky, Gogol or Griboedov. This is the classic of Russian drama. 17 years ago on the same historical stage we presented to the audience the premiere of "Mount of Mind" Griboyedov. And since then, we open this production every season.

- What premieres are you preparing for release?

The People's Artist of Russia Vyacheslav Yazhepov set the "small tragedies" of Pushkin, in which she also played three roles himself. And I am preparing for the release of "marriage" Gogol.

- Tell us in more detail about the "marriage".

Well, what to talk about a child who has not yet been born? I can not do that. I can only tell us that our leading artists will be busy in it: Lyudmila Polyakova, Boris Klyuev, Irina Muravyova, Alexander Ermakov, Alexey Kudinovich and a lot moreone.

Read more on the topic

- Will you be true to traditions or surprise the audience an unexpected interpretation of Gogol?

- The play "Marriage" know everything. Therefore, we will wonder what we will try to show Gogol, as he conceived his work. We, as before traditional.

- When is the premiere?

In November. And before that, in October, "Tsar Boris" will be released on Alexey Konstantinovich Tolstoy. The leading role is the People's Artist of Russia Valery Afanasyev. Once on the historical stage, the whole dramatic trilogy of Alexey Konstantinovich was "Death of John Grozny", "Tsar Fyodor John" and "Tsar Boris". This fall marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of a writer. And we wanted to remind everyone about this big date.

Noting moving to the historic building after repair, the theater introduced the viewer at once two premieres - "Talents and fans" and "King Lire". They were impossible to get tickets!

And we enjoy this attention spectators. As soon as the historical scene began work, we have constantly anchlags in the theater on all performances. In the fall, we are waiting for viewers to new premieres.

In addition to their directors, you started working with a producer group from Israel this season. Why did you invite foreign colleagues?

Directed by Ilan Ronen, the former artistic director of the "Gabim" theater from Tel Aviv, will put the tragicomedy Durrenmatta "Visit of the Old Lady". Why did I invite Ilan to put with us? I watched His performances and remained under great impression. The staged group has already started working. They came during our holiday, talked with our artists, artists, scertes. Now in our sewing workshops create costumes and shoes. The performance will be occupied by almost all the troupe of the small theater.

In general, every season we try to invite colleagues from abroad. Since 2010, we cooperate with the director from Italy Stefano di Luka. He put three performances in the Small Theater: "Lovers", "Filumen Moroturo" and "servant of two gentlemen." Five years ago, we collaborated with the French director George Lavodan - they made a play "Sirano de Bergerac" with him.

Culture Minister Vladimir Medinsky, having visited the troupe at you, advised the Small theater to put more performances about modern Russia, noting that Chekhov, and Ostrovsky wrote about their contemporaries.

- And who do not want to put the plays about modern Russia? I want everyone. But the fact is that the play should be well written. If you read every day what I bring me, they would have come to the hospital. When a decent play appears, then we will think. In the meantime I love Russian literature. A few years ago, we had performances on Rasputin, Shukshin. I am delighted with them. And also - Abramov, Belovy ... This is the company from Russian literature for the second half of the 20th century, which can be said now: our classics. If there are such authors - we will put. But while the second Rasputin did not appear.

Name me, who now puts the plays about modern Russia? More converted the classics to themselves, under modernity. It's like putting a leather jacket on me now. That's not mine.

- Among modern playwrights, you do not see decent small theater?

So far, what I read is not suitable for this scene and even for the scene on Ordyanka. Those plays that we are sent are more suitable for touring small troupe. Why do we need this when we have a big glorified troupe? Therefore, we appeal to the classic that you can install infinitely. Few people compare with Ostrovsky, Chekhov, Gogol, Shakespeare.

- The proposal of Medina was unexpected for you?

No, why. I understand him as a minister. Of course, modern dramaturgy is needed. And where to take it? There are decent artworks, good books, but this is not a play. According to them, it is necessary to make performance. And it is pretty difficult. In principle, it would be possible to work and write a staging on a good prose. Last year, we almost released a play called "Yalta". And I even had to play a role in it.

The basis of the formulation was the Book of Swedish Writer Lucas Svensson.

- Is it about the 1945 Yalta conference?

Yes. About the delegation, about politics. By the way, the book is very good. Therefore, we agreed. But when we started working, there were inconsistencies. It was necessary to climb into some historical material, something to specify and finish. And we still do not have time for it. Two or three months and we must release a performance.

- For the production of "Yalta" needed a big additional job?

Of course, but I do not blame the director Alexander Nordstrem in this. By the way, he translated the Book of Svensson from Swedish to Russian.

- I guess in this performance did you have to play US President Roosevelt?

I will not say. The performance did not take place, so that in vain to flutter ... Well, and who knows him, maybe they will return to this material.

These days you have a double holiday: not only the opening of the season, but also 60 years old, as you work in the Small Theater. And how did you take old men, idols, when did you just appear in this collective?

Just as today we have taken graduates of the theater school of Schepkin. Only I came in a suit and tie, and the current youth comes in sweaters and suspenders. Therefore, I recommended them directly from the scene: before going to the Small Theater, look at yourself in the mirror. At home you can walk, but the theater is holy for us. So I am accustomed. I also do not like to walk in the costume every day. Durak look. But in the Small Theater, all men observe etiquette. And youth - Oballa. Well, nothing will learn.

Although youth young people are dispersed. You know, I recently saw a TV show, where the boy sang the song "Sacred War" four years old. "Let the rage are noble ..." He was so missing "noble" that I got up in my throat. I will definitely show this entry. Let them learn. And the boy is a genius. He felt a song. He is given by the acting talent. I was amazed by His Organic. Well, and then he also read the monologue of Hamlet, and so amazingly cardio, that, sorry, all the gamies that I saw, in comparison with this baby do not go. I do not exaggerate. Well, if we exaggerate, then the smallest.

- You did not have the desire to find this boy and call in a small theater for a small role?

It was. Here I will go to Kazan on tour and find him. He lives there. I confess you, I would not take him into the troupe, but in the school, - and immediately gave him a diploma. So that he just lived in Moscow with dad and mom and walked into a small theater as in kindergarten. This person does not need to learn.

Conversation with artistic

head of the Small Theater.

Yuri Mefodievich

Solomin

We publish a dialogue with a unique personality in the history of theatrical art - the artistic director of the Small Theater, which heads the world famous team for almost thirty years. This lively, pulsating harmony organism, has gained fame and fame on the planet that many years accumulated and gave to millions of viewers the energy of good, compassion, humanity. This is the only theater in Russia, which is a member of the Theater Council of Europe, which decree of the President of Russia assigned the status of a national heritage - as a large theater, the Tretyakov Gallery and Hermitage. Listing the titles and regalia of Yuri Mefodievich Solmin in this material is not possible - they will take pages. The conversation with him often went beyond the framework of theatrical art: the opinion of the master on a momentous time, about history, pedagogy, about the theater, about events in Russia and the world, it seems, will be as interesting to the reader as a professional talent of Jollin, the first among equals, National national traditions in the XX-XI centuries.

Evgeny Chebalin. Yuri Mefodievich, we live in cruel time for our country, against which the Third World War is unleashed. This cruelty is most merciless and devastable for the whole of our culture, in the flask of which the West grows by the satanic efforts of the human-shaped gomunculus - Hama rootless and shameless. Now this subject is often introduced into the theater as director. The main passion of such an instance, like Papanova in "Adutant His Excellency"; « make out an eccurination", Associate yourself, unique and" elite "over national traditions, to adjust the playwright-classic under the vulitory and the blessing of his own" isxicism ", to expel the life of the spirit from the stage and replace it with rabies of the scene and the porniasmisms of the body.

You and your theater squeeze over this pathological rampant incredible bell tower, the Russian national temple, where the spiritual chime of true art is dealt over Russia and Europe. Under this, the initial - children's platform is clearly visible: congenital thrust for high culture. Exquisite directorial and acting taste, the deep, classical world culture could be born and strengthen only in childhood. How was it - your childhood?

Yuri Solomin. Commitment and confessional ministry of culture is laid in childhood. I went to a log house, which was treated with a stove. To start a learning process, teachers and students needed to prepare firewood, heat the school, hit the drifts, to learn the Azam of any craft, to remake the mass of the necessary work, which was happening together. It brought it closer, and it was the soil at which the sprouts of mutual respect, curiousness, tolerance - for the rest of his life. I remember and keep a heart attachment to my first teacher - Natalia Pavlovna Bolshakova, I hope - like she to me. After graduating from school, she followed me, as for the rest of the students: wrote me letters, disassembled movies with my participation and made comments. I remember and gently treat her and my classmates. Life scattered us in different cities, professions: colonel, doctor, scientist, engineer, artist. But we, gathering, remember Natalia Pavlovna with not cooled warmth.

E.C.. Your childhood proceeded in Chita. What did this transbaikal city enrich you? What is remembered most?

Yu.S.. Cultural life. Mass, somehow violent worship of culture. My parents were musicians, so to speak - local, Transbaikal filling. At the end of the 20s both were enrolled in the Leningrad Conservatory, successfully studied in it. But Mom got sick, almost losted hearing, and they had to return to the cheat.

Returning, the parents devoted their lives to this, without anything could live - art. Thanks to them, I, "outdoor" with a football field, watched and gradually fascinated by many operas in theaters Chita and Ulan_-Ude, Irkutsk. There worked the theaters, hardly the best operetta in the USSR. We listened to Vertinsky's tour, I empathized the actor tooth, driving from Manchuria, Kashirsky, Murinsky, Zagur. and many other cigriers of that time.

Houses stood piano. Mom and father played on it. Father, Methodius Viktorovich, played virtuoso on all string instruments, organized a string orchestra. Mom Zinaida Ananyevna, sang perfectly. Both taught music, led musical circles in the city house of the pioneers, the house of railway workers, the house of folk creativity, which the Father fought. This was an amateurness, but the highest level. It is enough to say that the pupils of the Pope have become professionals: bass Lhasaran Linchovein is recognized later to the best in the USSR by the executor of Konchak's party in Prince Igor, and then became one of the best opera theater in Buryatia in the country. Victor Kuleshov - Soloist Music Theater named after Stanislavsky, Honored Artist. Subsequently, he led the Cossack People's Choir.

E.C.. The unique time of the liberated folk spirit, which, as a state priority, cultivated the Soviet power in the country. You described the cultural life of Transbaikalia, and I warmly, with nostalgia I remember a similar, surprisingly similar process at the other end of the USSR - in Chechen-Ingushetia. My childhood passed in Chechen-Aul. But and there, the soloists of Philharmonic, the drama theater came to us. Lermontov and a symphony orchestra from Grozny, and the fathers and moms of my friends helped to put a small string orchestra from the six-beds in Aul. We gave concerts in the club, played at the celebrations, at weddings and on dancing in the club. Then, while studying at the Institute, many of the students sang in our operations of the Grozny People's Opera House of the Grozny People's Opera House of the North Caucasus at the House of Culture. Lenin - under the control of a brilliant artist and teacher Viktor Anatolyevich Sokolova, who set about ten ten operas in the theater. My fellow students Chechen Ahmed Guchigov was found to subsequently in the Caucasus the best executor of the Lensky party in Evgenia Onegin. We have almost a year on Onegin and Rigoletto arrived from Baku graduate of the Baku Conservatory Muslim Magomayev, who did not work with the leadership of the Baku Philharmonic. The soloist Opera Bass Edward Stadnichenko, having completed the oil institute, left the oil personnel beamda and dedicated the rest of his life, was the soloist of the Opera House of Donetsk. During service in the army I was a soloist and a concertmester in the ensemble of the song and dance of the red-known Caspian flotilla. Paradise Kosheleva, Emma Orlova, Edward Aidler, coming out of Alma Mater Sokolov, also became opera singers-professionals.

Yu.S.. The process of worshiping culture was really splashing by the sea flashed throughout the USSR. And he had her proms teachers. This phenomenon of the Soviet state is not forgotten, is carefully stored in memory of millions. Not so long ago on tour in Rostov-on-Don, a woman approached me with a press conference and she said that he knew, remembers and loves my parents, their musical service to the people, called their names of the middle name. I could not hold back the tears. Their soul light splashed in me from the past. This became possible, turned into a daily reality, thanks to an inexhaustible, genetically laid in the Slavs for harmony and moral cleanliness. In them, the congenital talent of the creators, who, fully, possessed folk teachers - your falcons, my parents, my teachers and comrades in Shpikinsky School Igor Ilinsky, Vera Pashnye, Mikhail Tsarev and thousands of them like. They are honored and remembered. My spouse, Olga Nikolaevna, with whom we studied with a fatty, teacher of the Shchepkinsky School, Professor, once suggested: let's call our course with the name of faith Nikolaevna Pashnyny. Called. Not so long ago we go to the final examination of the fourth course. Faith fatty. I went to the lobby with portraits of our great teachers and frozen: under the portrait of pasta fresh flowers - her birthday. Students know her, read, bow: the memory of her alive.

Russia is the best theater, vocal, ballet, scientific schools. It became an indisputable reality because we were then completely different, in contrast to the European and world, relationship between the teacher and the student, in many ways resembling family. This is not a casual, Commander Dictate Master of the Master.

We have a teacher not only and did not teach so much. He, first of all, was brought up. He embedded his feelings and soul in his entrusted to him, he shared his worldview and worldview with him, enriched his adult experience, thereby defended from adversity and future shocks. Probably, it was precisely this allowed to survive, keep their dignity to millions, their spiritual "I" in Chaos, who wrapped the restructuring on us.

Soviet pedagogical school is a unique world phenomenon. She brought up the spiritual "Russian world" in his wards, in which 197 nationalities in the USSR speakers, speaking 299 languages \u200b\u200band adverbs felt equally comfortable.

E.C. Russian world - as an ideological paradigm " I am for the world».

Yu.S.. The Russian world is a polyphony, the symphony, which our ancestors worked for centuries, gave traditions in the profits and on a rolling field, where there was no place for the benefit, gesheftshercy and usury. Her core theme, the main leitmotif not " Profitable-unprofitable ", but "Fairly unfair."

E.C.. You are talking about the act of teachers last time: "taught", "brought up", "invested", "erected." It's not by chance?

Yu.S.. Not by chance. Functioners from education dispersed the very mission of the teacher, having equated it to the craft of the buyer, a massage therapist, a cosmetologist, obliged to please the body on the bed of consumer technocracy and its primitive exam, and not enrich the soul of harmony. How much I talked about it, called, warned like an actor, director, teacher. We will long sense the catastrophic consequences of this yoke.

E.C.« Teacher ... allowing your name to humbly knees. " Not so long ago, we all experienced, we can say, the phenomenon of the new minister of education to the people of Olga Yuryevna Vasilyeva. The phenomenon was accompanied by screams of liberal-educationals from the Livanian company after Vasilyeva voiced his vision of Russian education, his upcoming mission in it. Key phrase, the rod of this mission: "Teacher, doctor, priest is not a specialty. This ministry. "

Yu.S.It is complemented by the long-awaited intention of the new Minister to reanimate the best of the Soviet educational system. What is the belief: " Without hard work ... without skills to work it is hourly, every second ... We will not be able to live. "And, in accordance with this, the introduction of a fundamental program of full-scale labor education in the school. Olga Yuryevna programs a truly revolutionary postulate time: stop bringing up the consumer and improve the exam. After all, every year experienced stress for many thousands of graduates who did not pass the exam. Now they are given the right: to pass Russian, mathematics and get a diploma of secondary education. The process of revising the barbaric cooked, often mindless university universities. No less revolutionary shift: the introduction of the "Golden Canon" - mandatory for studying a list of school literature. This should form in children, according to the minister, "Holistic education of Russian literature, and therefore - Russian culture " Problems of Blessuria, illiteracy truly shines these days. Who is now entering universities? Not so long ago, we took entrance exams in our "pinch". I ask Applicant: what did you read lately? Replies: Dostoevsky. What exactly is Dostoevsky? The young man is confused for a long time, wrinkled forehead, finally answers: "The story. Something about the village. " "What a story? What is the name of the village? ". In response - full stupor. I feel: boil clip, iPhone brains in the poor fellowship. Tell me: "Stepanchino village?". "Yes!!!" The joy is immeasurable on the face of the Great Martyr: Finally got to the truth.

Vasilyeva, of course, knows about the similar level. And intends, contrary to all the injury, resistance to raise it on the proper, the previous level is the best in the world. For this, thank you very much. After all, it is at school that skills, worldview and the characters of future economists, ministers, deputies, directors of factories are born. And because there will be their moral, the intellectual level, the well-being of the people and the status of our state in the world depends.

E.C.Yuri Mefodievich, you played in 60 films, 52 performances of their theater, among them thoughtful, sincere roles in the cinema "Sleeping Night", "Dauria". And, like apogee, your acting film is the captain of the rings in the "Adutant of His Excellency". Truly, an incentive magnet, he pulled the enthusiastic reverence and the love of millions of spectators. For almost a month, the whole country was pulled in the evenings to the TV screens to enjoy a magnificent Chekist, illuminated by a red idea, but endowed with the unique noble charm and state mind. You are opposed by the workshop by the workshop of the director's hand, the opponents from the Mill of the White Guard. By honor of the director Evgenia Tashkova, these personalities are not reconded, he rejected a caricature interpretation. On Russian immense arena is not for life, and two great, tragic truths came to death, each side it has its own. And this truth is still, now the century, boils, or groales in our compatriots, separating them: here and in foreign emigration.

I look through the historical studies of the Functioners of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Communist Party of the Communist Party of the Communist Party of the Communist Party of the Communist Party of the Communist Party of the Communist Party of the Communist Party of the Communist Party of the Communist Party. In their positions, indisputable Bolshevism is irreconcilable. Everything is bad: serfdom, self-made and Hapugi Gingerbie, poverty of peasants - all the production of novels of Romanovs. If Stolypin, then with it certainly "Stolypinsky ties and wagons", as well as the defeat of the peasant community, if the Romanovs are, then their disposal is "bloody nikhka." In his foreign trips, I often heard from our compatriots other, no less Icked accusations of the Soviets: "Red Terror", "Coming Ham" and Other - from the "Pyana Days" of Bunin. Plus - the accusation of repressions of 36-38 years. In our state there are little families that did not hook the scope of the "Stalinist cleansing" during these years. Do they touch your family?

Yu.S.. Directly. On December 30, 1938, my grandfather was arrested - without the right of correspondence. Often, this meant execution, but he was camouflaged with this label - "without the right of correspondence" and suspended the family of the "enemy of the people" in the painful unknown for many years. After arrest, we lived in some basement, I remember three raw, slippery downwards. In 1955, some important, government document clarified into our basement. Grandmother read and did her legs ran. We were reported that grandfather is rehabilitated.

I do not feel delighted before Stalin, although I do not join those who are trying him with foam at the mouth. It is just necessary to understand: to each time that begging to his goal corresponds to the means of achieving it. Ultimately, the Soviet government gave me thousands of my art colleagues what I now have: a favorite profession, recognition and the possibility of serving muses.

E.C.. It's time to ask sacred issues: from which source, who did the Soviet Marshals of the Zhukov, Budyannoy, Tymoshenko? Who enriched by the original scientific baggage of the Nobel laureate, the Soviet scientist Ivan Pavlova, theorist and the Prophet of Soviet Cosmonautics Tsiolkovsky? Where did the brilliant school of Ballerina Pavlova received, choreographer Petipa, Bass Shalyapin, the Gorky writer, the creator of the Tretyakov Gallery of the Tretyakov, Composers, Pianists Kabalevsky, Gliere? Why would this comrade Lenin "Slumzil" the idea of \u200b\u200bGoello at His Excellency Stolypin?

What is your position in this, almost old chimera confronting the "white and red", scattering us along different sides of the barricades. Do you whose, Yuri Mefodievich?

Yu.S.You put me in a difficult position. I think that the thinking personality on both sides of the dilapidated barricades, with the exception of Orthodoxes, have long and painfully regret and grieve about the happening of the confrontation and, as a result, the destruction of the Russian gene pool. We were raised into the revolution and civil war in order for us to dry by force and mind, because the best died in the fights. White and red of that time were completely different. And in that and in another camp there was enough as righteous and villains.

All my conscious life I serve the theater, confessing beauty and harmony. And therefore, I bow before the great Russian culture, the personalities of which gave us the era of Romanov: Fonvizin, Lomonosov, Pushkin, Lermontov, Gogol, Ostrovsky, Chekhov, all fat. And the farther in time they are moving away from us, the majestic becomes. They know the whole world. Therefore, in your dating and your contacts with colleagues in the craft, I am completely explained to avoid Ivanov who do not remember kinship. And I appreciate those who retain the names and creations of these giants of the Spirit.

We were on tour in Paris, played in Versailles "Uncle Vanya" and "Cherry Garden." The first wave emigrants came to the performance - with Tomiki Pieces Chekhov to follow the text. The old Russian nobility came: Princes, graphs, their relatives and households with children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren. Many of them cried on the performance. After the performance, we were talking to them for a long time and were shocked by their loyalty to the Motherland: they did not dissolve in the foreigners, she who sheltered them, carefully retained the language, love for Russia, her geniuses, its traditions.

E.C.Tears of viewers on the performance. It's like a St. George Cross, as a courage in the battle. There is a not ceased battle for human souls. Now this fight in suitogee is inflamed to the limit. Therefore, the resuscitation of theaters capable of bringing up without rye the home-grown oligofren on the first, "major" row, but to "extract" compassion and tear on their performances.

Yu.S.. Especially if this is a tear of the child. In the press case - Jewish. I remember tour in Israel. Prior to this, their manager came to Moscow, almost all theaters watched. Finally invites us to the WTO restaurant. It shares the impressions of the spectacles viewed and rows in shock: "Your theater is out of competition for me. First I want to see you in Israel. With the "king Fyodor Ioannovich" and Chekhov. " By the way, I know many managers from Europe, which come to us, to Moscow and on the periphery - in the province, select actors, performances set in traditional style, without shocking frills, and ride them in their cities, belonging to our scenography with extreme grainness. Europe highly appreciates the Russian, traditional, theatrical school, the Stanislavsky system, borrows the best, unlike us.

E.C.Israel ... Jewish manager ... In Moscow of that time, a lot of his ethnic tribesmen: Satire, Efros on a small armor, loved in the theater on Taganka, Rosovsky "Nikitsky Gate". But a non-alternatively called the Russian traditional small theater in the Jewish state, with an invalid Russian repertoire. What do you think of the Israeli manager in your "Vapauk"?

Yu.S.In the greatness of Russians, all-in-law values \u200b\u200bthat professes our theater: love, compassion, condemnation of vice. They are understandable and close to all nations and nations. But - to the Israeli tear of the child. We played Chekhov, "Cherry Garden", curtain. Ovation of the audience. And on the front row sits and the boy cryingly crying, the parents are trying to console him. We started them on the scene, ask: what happened, why tears? And hearing in response to amazing confession from the kid:

- Grandfather Firs died ... Msa-A-Alko! "

We laugh, soothe: Oh, you are a fracturing crumb, calm down, grandfather did not die, alive. Does not believe, crying. I call: the spout of the grimer on the stage, quickly! Valera Noska comes, still in makeup, we tell him everything. It sits down in front of the boy: here it is me, lively and healthy! You can touch. The baby touches and calms down. This crashes into memory forever. This can be carried in life as the highest award.

E.C.. Unfortunately, inaccessible today - if not the majority. You ventured to take on the functions of the immune system of the Russian Theater, fighting against the Bacill of the Chvanvalny Samoram of the so-called, "elitar" director, her ignorance and shamelessness. Nowadays, our traditional theater giant is largely infected with these bacillos, they are messed up, twitching in the culture of the centripision, they shift at its feet of dwarfs from the director, patients with rabies form. And all this skipping vakhanalia oversees STD. Are you comfortable in it?

Yu.S.I am not subject to STD. It came out of it for a long time, although the owner of the Golden Mask . Dali, probably for long-term merits in the theater. I do not want to consist in an organization where the koreas, the classics urged. Yasha (servant from the "Cherry Garden") The director makes "make love" on the stage with the servant of the Duny. But this is not and could not be in Chekhov! After such scenes at that time, the entire troupe along with the director of the city would send forced into the crazy house!

E.C.From the same "ackurimations": on the outstanding station publicly rochemary, they cope with the toilet need. The director goes on stage to the viewer Nagishk, covered with theatrical program ...

Yu.S. ...Ranevskoy Qualion directed by nor needle, she is a drug addict. Chekhov probably turns into a coffin from the cottage: the classics of Russian drama mercury mercilessly with their "bump of sight", monkey. Everything is done, even the most disadvantage to drag the viewer to the theater and make money. For twenty-five years I play the king of Fyodor, and twenty-five years old the viewer goes to the performance, where there is no trressing avant-garde, there is no trickling and frightened monitoring, but there are genuine, high human passions, there is a history of Russia. If I do not pay for the game not rubles, and dollars, will I get better to play? The goal to make money, currency is not the main, although many theaters are reset to the caterior mode of self-sufficiency. But we do not earn money, we are obliged to confess to the viewer, to bear it the ideas of humanism, good, compassion, who laid the classic in the play. The theater and STD is a vital mission: to introduce the viewer to the genealogy of the ancestors, to drink his memory and self-consciousness pride for belonging to his Great, Nick Not distorted stories. And the viewer believes we go to the theater to know not only her, but also in her.

By the way: Std now begins to change, becomes more sane. I think it is the merit of the Ministry of Culture.

E.C.. You said " great, not distorted story" A few years ago, I visited the hysterically rapid, "world premiere" Rostropovich, Slonim and Sturua "Vision of John Grozny". It was a scenic Burda from Russophobia, total lies outside Solovyov, Klyuchevsky, Karamzin, hate to one of the great figures of our Russian society - John 1V. After the review on this bad smelling Paskvil in the newspaper "Tomorrow" " Schizophrenic vision of Rostropovich "responses poured on my email. Including the claims of young people. Their essence: yes, the performance pours to our story. But " where to go to be interested in talking to us on our tongue? "

Yu.S. On the neutered Internet tongue, a mixture with a mat? This language is suitable for pumping buttons in computers and iPhones, when brains are almost disconnected. Why do we need to take into account the mental level of this category, focus on it, to go about it? Such a spectator, fortunately, does not prevail. Many smart youth comes to performances, miraculously retaining intelligence. And it needs to be protected, prepare a repertoire, focus on it - for the future of Russia. And for modern fight-frantes, it is probably another. We tragically missed them at the elementary school stage. Grandson stole from our generation. They need a different impact, from the methods of Makarenko associated with the work therapy, which intends to introduce into schools and professional programs, can special, educational institutions New Minister Vasilyeva.

E.C.Rod Theater Topic: Historical Persons . Bismarck at Prussians and his Aryan double in Russov Stolypin is a couple of socio national giants of the 18th and 9th centuries, fearlessly turned the Empire's opposites towards the ninth tree of revolutions from Rothschilds, Parvuses and Rockefeller. And they, with all the geopolitical power, have saddled this shaft, taking the predatory money of bankers to the state cage. And only after their death of the revolution clung to the throat of Germany and Russia. Curious barcode: Bismarck, being envoy of Wilhelm at the court of Alexander 11, called to the unification of the political and military potentials of the two empires, did everything possible for this, prophetically foresaw the outcome of this symbiosis: the disadvantageous power of the German and Slavic Ariyev on the planet, professing hardworking, LAD and independence .

Yuri Mefodievich, you do not feel some bare in the repertoire of the theater without these figures - Bismarck and Stolypin?

Yu.S.. Probably breach is. We are aware of the special status of these historical figures. But the repertoire of the theater is versed in close relationship with dramaturgical material.

If there is a play of an appropriate level - it is necessary to solve the question of taking it into the repertoire. Unfortunately, while we have no drama of a similar plan that meets these personalities. But continue the conversation about the thematic bare bags. At one time, I acutely felt the urgent need to tell the Russians about the undeservedly forgotten giant figure Miklukho-Maclay - there was an artistic, informational breach for Russia. There are streets Miklukho-Maclay, reserves, steamer. But what is he, as a person? Miklukho-Maclay came to Europe and took it at one time, as Yuri Gagarin was taken in the 20th century. His name still give children to New Guinea, and he himself is called "man from the planet of the moon." And a script appeared on all this texture. As a result, I shot three serial films " Coast of his life »About Miklukho Maklai. As an epilogue: Miklukho-Maclay took and talked for a very long time with him on the equal chancellor himself Bismarck. The circle closed: our planet is one cozy apartment for such personalities.

E.C.. In Russia, the Golden Horde was built under the Golden Horde, a monastic monastery was built on the banks of the River Konchura Reverend Saint Sergius Radonezh. The main rod of this creation was the charter of the monastery (now - Sergiev-Troitskaya Lava), who obliges the monastic brachia "Live the fruits of their hands in kindness and harmony. " Your theater surrounded by "Chuzhebesia" is also a kind of monastery with its charter, where acting morals and emotions are far from monastic. But for many years you have been driving in a confident hand with a confident hand, an organism, boiling by passions, (the actors are "Sukina Children" on Shcheckin) lead on storms and redirects of post-Soviet Russia, guided by the deployment of Sergius Radonezh: to live in educational works, "the fruits of the hands His ". You were elected and re-elected by the team multiple times, because it was equally repeatedly carried out this eight-dollar ark between the scillar discord and the charibda of the decay. They were smashed and disintegrated on the antagonistic concepts of Taganka, MCAT, "Contemporary". And you only fastened and gained world fame, carefully retaining traditional. What would you like from power now? What is your participation in your affairs and concerns would be preferable for you?

Yu.S.. So that our "monastery" did not come down with a stranger charter so that our status would be delivered from any imperative orders and instructions. They are extremely necessary for theatrical "avant-garders", which we talked above. But while they are hung on them, as a promotion, "gold masks".

I remember the expression of the eyes of Mikhail Ivanovich Tsareva, when a decree came to the Small Theater: "Reduced the team of the theater by 25 percent." He read it in front of the troupe on an idiot. Circled actors with a look. Sighed, asked: it means twenty-five percent? And put the paper on the table: "Well, we will think." We think so far. And we save employees, actors with their experience, you can say life.

Another wish - the deadlines for the assignment of the titles: "Honored", "People's", "Laureate", etc., is unthinkable, unacceptable when the artist burning his nerves, the psyche on stage for years, is waiting for this assignment to twenty years. Yes, he burns, without waiting for a deserved award! It becomes practically not needed ashes, in which his soul and heart turns.

E.C.. There is a story about the captain of the fishing captain, published on the fishery. There is no fish. The team wops. The second week of unbearable. The team is furious. The rewind, the captain will donate, protect: what the hell do you stick on the captain's bridge, if you can't find fish?! The third week with empty networks: over the deck of a wild roar, ahead with the address mat. Finally, the captain removes the Seiner on fish shoals. Three days of mad work and the Seiner with full tricks turned to the house. Captain swing, pour the repentance of the molasses. After that, he goes to the cabin and puts himself a bullet in his forehead. Do you yourself when waited for assignment?

Yu.S. I received "deserved" in 39. Before that, the title was lying in a table of some official for several years. But his majesty intervened. I grabbed me radiculitis, yes so fiercely, that without crutches could not move, and was at the rehearsal. In the theater for some reason, Furtsev arrived. Enters the elevator, and there I went down. Asks: What are you with crutches? I answer everything as is - Radiculitis, Catherine Alekseevna, whether he is Naladen. "And what, then at work? I mischieving: so without me the theater will become. "Even so? Well, recover ". Released And in two weeks it was a decree on the assignment of the "deserved".

E.C. In the past, the head of the department of theaters of theaters of the Mushrooms together with WTO created at the Ministry of Culture of the USSR permanent dramaturgical seminars. Pieces created on them, the skill of the drama: Siberians are Tobolkin's Siberians, the Roman of the Solntsev, Alexander Vampilov, Kamchadal Vladimir Kosmachevsky, Belarusian Anatoly Dudarev, Tatar Yunus Safiullin, Moskvich Mikhail Bartholomeyev. We, we can say, flooded the repertoines of the Moscow theaters of that time, our plays were delivered at theaters of Satira, them. Vakhtangov, on a small armor, the theater Yermolova, the theater them. Stanislavsky.

Called a hubbostroy. And its pro-Western curators in the Central Committee, as opposed to this dramaturgical cohort, where the traditions of the Russian theater were honored, offered a rose playwright to create something like a creative incubator, wherever he brought up young playwrights with "new thinking."

In this experimental, the flask was originated by a richly funded tribe of rugged dosemakers, which suddenly bombarded from the moral scenography of the rose itself and the most vulgar fit into the destructive tack of restructuring with the "Chrome demon" A. Yakovlev. I remember the enthusiastic press cataclysm of the time about the play Arroy "see who came!", Drum-Jesuitchurch Petrushevskaya, Galina, etc.

Dramaturgia, its impact by catharsis per millions of viewers has always been a powerful platform on which ideological, moral paradigm of the nation. And she was always under the sight of enemies.

The Small Theater became the All-Russian, European Center for Spirituality. You did not appear the idea of \u200b\u200bcreating at the theater together with the Ministry of Culture of a Some Section (Seminar, Courses), whose mission will be the revival of the original national, moral dramaturgy?

Yu.S.. If I'm not mistaken, such seminars or courses are, they act at STD and their regional offices. But we do not participate in them. I know the names of the playwrights that you have listed - and the Gribanovsky and pupils of Rosh. I myself repeatedly played in his plays. It was a good, really traditional dramaturgy.

I always offer roles in movies. From many I refuse - I do not want to spend time and energy on the cliché brought from the cops, oligarchs and their mistresses. There are very good scenarios. But, such, as a rule, the leadership and TV have no money. The feeling that Fellini, Bergman cinema, Kurosava, Tarkovsky died. He was replaced by serial underground, where they remove the bedroom through the keyhole.

We should not, reckoning pants, run behind the avant-garde, where the ball is now the foolishness, vulgarity. AndGounds come and leave, and the traditional Russian theater, where the life of the Spirit, conscientiousness and the laws of aesthetics will live forever. It remains to hope that fate will help to live until the time when the great creations will be returned to the movie screen, which is able to generate the Slavic Genofond.

E.C.. This can be put on this point. Health and new creative, enchanting life to you, Yuri Mefodievich, your associates and like-minded people in the scene in a renovated building of a small place in the cultural life of Russia such a huge place. You once called the "Large Keeper". Continuing the thought, you can add: "Small - the keeper of the big Russia."

About the roots of the solo family

Solomin Yuri Mefodievich was born on June 18, 1935 in Chita. Rose into the family of professional musicians, the older brother of Actor Vitaly Solmin. Parents of Yuri Solmin had Siberian roots. Methodius Viktorovich Rod from Transbaikalia, Zinaida Ananievna - from Tomsk. Both are wonderful musicians, the Father played free on all string instruments, the mother had a good voice - mezzo-soprano.

Chita in those years was the city of high cultural traditions. The names of Oleg Lundstrema, Nikolay Zadornov, Konstantin Sedykh are connected with it. Solomin family was well known in the city. Parents professionally served as a mousse, working music teachers in the city house of pioneers and in the House of Folk Creativity Chita. Methodius Viktorovich dedicated his life to finding musical giving in Chita, Buryatia. The main domain of solo-senior steel of their sons, famous Russian actors, folk artists Yuri and Vitaly Solomina.

About Shchepkinsky School

Yuri Solomin - artist happy fate. The choice of profession for a person is always difficult. For the young man who lives thousands of kilometers from the main cultural centers, he is not very doubly. Fate ordered so that the concept of "Small Theater" entered the life of the young Yuri Solven "with young nails" and for life.

Even in Chita Yuri saw the film "Small Theater and his Master", made to the 125th anniversary of the theater. At the same time he learned about Shchepkinsky School and after graduation, he immediately sent the documents at the address: Moscow, Neglinnaya, 6.

Carries someone who is lucky. This rule, which was subsequently for many years, felt Yuri Mefodievich Solomin, determined a gift for fate - study in the class of faith Nikolaevna Pashnyny, the Great Russian actress. He graduated from the Theater School of Schepkin and became an actor of the Small Theater.

About the small theater

Small theater Yuri Solomin considers his home. For the first time he appeared here, being a second-year student, to practice. The first work was in the play "Ivan Grozny", and even the program of this performance was preserved, where it was written: the second artisan is a student of the theater school named Schchepkin such. So that was Solomin Yuri Mefodievich.

Then the work went, the roles went. The roles were different: both big and small. "But we were assured then that there are no little roles, there are small artists. I do not agree with that. There are simple and small roles, and bad roles ... ", - the wonderful actor Yuri Solomin argues.

Starting with episodic roles, the young actor soon began to play leading roles in the plays of the Soviet repertoire: Bezays in "When the heart of V. Kina" is burning, "director A.Goncharov, Glory and Grisha in the Rosovskiy" unequal Boy ", director D. Dvosur, and" Before dinner, "the director of V.Monakhov, Misha in the" Chamber "Aleshina, director L. Zharpakhovsky, Pepino to" Stolen Consul "Mdivani, director V.Monakhov.

Excellent external data, an outstanding charm, soft lyricism with the masses of the appearance promised a bright future. Cast the classic Russian repertoire - Kiselnikov in the "Pacific" A.N. Ostrovsky, director Vasilyev, Tsar Fedor John to the TRAGEDIA TRAGEDIA A.K. Tolstoy, director Ravenskiy, Fedya Protasov in the "live corpse" L.N. Tolstoy, director in .Solomine - the actor leaning towards drama, the ability to psychologically delicately develop character, the special nervousness of temperament. This topic was clearly read in the role of the last Russian king, Nicholas II, in the modern play of S. Kuznetsov "... and Az Warm".

It is no coincidence that the criticism often calls Skhinov's "Chekhov actor of the Small Theater", notes the special "Russian national troops" of the actor, inclined to the embodiment, not so much latitude and scope of the Russian soul, how much of the inner force, which lies in it. The multifaceted acting talent of Solven allows him to play both Russian sufferers with the same success, and the French romantic sirano in Sirano de Bergerac, "E. De Rostan, who, together with the delay in the play, A.P. Chekhov "Uncle Vanya" considers especially loved ones and, perhaps, the best of their theatrical works.

About movies

A voucher to cinema Yury Solomina gave Vera Nikolaevna Pashnyen. She recommended his director I.M. Annena on the main role in the film "Sleeping Night." She recommended Sergey Bondarchuk to try Solven to the role of Prince Bolkonsky in the "War of War and the World", the role, Vyacheslav Tikhonov later played brilliantly. Then there were many roles, more than 50 films and serials in the cinema and on television: diverse, dramatic, lyrical, well-accompanied, comedy - and everywhere, the actor found their own inherent in his paints, making each role in his phenomenon.

Yuri Solomin became widely known, after entering the TV screen of the multi-sized film "Adjutant His Excellency". Among his best film stake: Dmitry Ulyanov in the "Heart of Mother", Telegin in the television film "Walking on the flour", Major Zvyagintsev in "Blokade", Tavernaster and Heinrich Aizenstein in television films "Ordinary Miracle" and "Bat Mouse", Vladimir Alexandrovich in the picture " Light in the window ", Slavin in" Tass is authorized to declare ... ". You can simply list some pictures where it played the main roles: "White Night Melodies", "Dreams about Russia", "Moscow Saga". And each of them is popular and loved by several generations of viewers in the Soviet Union, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Germany, Japan, other countries. His favorite works, Yuri Solomin himself considers the role of snout in the film A. Saltykov "and was evening, and it was morning" and the role of the speaker in the film V. Georgiev "Strong Spirit".

Shots in the cinema presented an actor meeting with outstanding directors and actors. Huge luck for himself, he considers work and friendship with Akira Kurosawa and Ottakar Vavra, Mikhail Kalatozov and Mark Donskoy, Komaki Kurikhara and Jeanne Moro, Marina Vlad.

About Kuravava

The role of Arsenyev in the film Akira Kurosava "Dersu Uzala" made actors Yuri Solomin famous world cinema.

This work can not be forgotten. Wonderful director. He knows around the world. When they call the great, then called: Fellini, Bergman, Kurosava. This troika, without which it is very difficult to talk about world cinema. And Akira Kurosava agreed to work in Russia, then in the Soviet Union, to shoot the film "Dersu Uzala". Yuri Solomin was very happy, these are the places where he was born and grew. This is all about Daurgy Taiga and Primorsky Territory. Solomina offered the role of Arsenyev. Maxim Maksimovich Munzuk arrived from Tuva, this is the one who played the dertie. He was so very open, and Kurasava immediately said - Dersu. Definitely said, and then Yuri Solkin with Maxim Maksimovich actually did not try, but tried the makeups, tried costumes. "Somehow naturally it turned out, there was no, as it happens, you were approved, and you shout:" Hurray! ". That was not, everything was so natural that I can't even understand today how I even learned what I was approved. That's how I was invited, I remember, and then ... ", - loves to remember Yuri Solomin. It should be noted that Kurosava was an artist. He graduated from the Academy of Arts and painted very well. Since then the director and actor tied a big friendship, then Kurosov always sent his Russian friend to the new year a postcard, which he himself created: painted it and released in Japan.

And once on the shooting in Primorsky Krai, he gave solomine picture. Kurosava painted a huge tiger head with some kind of greenish eyes, a little on the right of the Japanese ornament and wrote - June 18, 1974, Solomin San, Kurasava San. And now the picture hangs at home from the artist, in the framework.

About directed

Being a director Yury Samoilov never dreamed. He did not even know what it was. When he lived in Chita, he listened to the radio concerts from the column hall, the artists are such, such, and what a director ... I wanted to be an artist, I wanted to speak. I never thought to be neither the artistic director, no chief, no. But fate ordered otherwise.

But the force of circumstances still led to the fact that Solomin became a director ...

In the director, the process itself is more fascinated, carries the opportunity to help. When you can send a person, it is interesting to understand the author. To understand, for example, why did Chekhov wrote: "To Moscow, to Moscow!"? When you start reading it, to delve, and you can no longer live without his letters, without his notes, without any memories of him ... On the stage, a classic is more in the scene than modern authors. Unfortunately, there are no good modern plays. Yes, and put the play, which now write on two or three people, is unprofitable with a troupe of 130 people.

About television

Now it is customary to scold television for corrupting tastes and mass zombies of the population. On this topic, the great actor Yuri Solin is a special opinion: "Scold television is meaningless. It is worth scolding his leaders. The main sin of the TV is that the whole country was put on beer. That's horrible! I recently go on the theatrical square. Winter, cold. And there is a girl, the whole frozen, and holds a bottle of beer in her hands. I stop her and say: "What is cold? And you drink ... "And she did not understand my humor ...

And advertising? I lived all my life without advertising. I knew that this sausage was good. And everyone knew it too. And when I still say: "This is your style!", - Yes, they all went with their style! .. I'm still annoying: I never have time to record phones that advertise us television. I needed to buy once heating vessels for dogs. I saw this advertisement, I managed to record only half the phone - and that's it. And it was in St. Petersburg on tour. Then two days stupidly sitting in the hotel, looked all over Muur, waiting for the repetition, but did not show this advertisement anymore ... "
