Aleksey Safronov

Alexey Safonov - Honored Artist of the RSFSR, starred in the films "Milkmaid from Khatsapetovka", "Dead Souls", "Seventeen Moments of Spring" and in other films. In the last years of his work, he gave preference to voiceover.

Alexey was born in the fall of 1938 in the town of Sergiev Posad, near Moscow, formerly Zagorsk, in the family of workers of a defense plant. His father worked as deputy head of the labor department, and his mother was the head of the labor and salary bureau. In the first war years, the Safonovs moved to Tomsk, the boy was then 3 years old. They returned to their hometown only in 1943 and continued to work at the same plant.

Little Alexey's love for creativity did not arise by chance. Probably, she passed on to the boy from his father's brother, Peter Safonov. The man worked as an actor at the Moscow Regional Theater under the direction of Boris Golubovsky. From an early age, the boy attended productions in which his uncle played, and after the performance he went backstage with Pyotr Grigorievich. Over the years, Alyosha becomes more and more interested in theater, reads more and, in general, shows an interest in art.

Already being a schoolboy, Alexey enrolls in a drama circle and gradually comprehends acting. After receiving secondary education and graduating from school, the young man goes to the capital for admission to VGIK. Safonov had a speech impediment, he burst from childhood, therefore, having passed the first qualifying round to the university, he was warned that if the guy did not eliminate him, he would hardly pass the second round.

He had one month to solve this problem. The desire to enter the cinematographic university was so great that Alexey urgently signed up for classes with a speech therapist. Fortunately for the guy, he got to a talented doctor, who in such a short time managed to save him from the problem.

The selection committee had no other reasons for refusing to enroll in VGIK, so in a month the guy is enrolled in Olga Pyzhova's course. As the artist himself later recalled, 4 years of study were simply unforgettable for him, there he happened to meet people who later became wonderful actors.

The first film, in which Alexei Safonov starred, was the film by director Iosif Kheifits "Horizon". At that time, the young man was still studying in the 4th year of the university. This film was supposed to become a visiting card in the biography of a novice actor, since great hopes were pinned on it. However, this did not happen. The audience greeted the film without a standing ovation, and the actor's play in the lead role was not appreciated.

Immediately after graduation, the young man becomes a member of the Gorky Film Studio team. For some time, Safonov's acting activity is suspended, and he plunges into dubbing. One of the first works of a man in this format was the scoring of the film "Rocco and His Brothers". Since that moment, Alexei has had the opportunity to voice hundreds of foreign and Russian stars in different films.

In 1963 Safonov starred in the film The End and Beginning directed by the Greek Manos Zacharias. This picture became a favorite work of Alexei Vasilyevich, it was after her that the artist began to actively appear in other films.

In 1970, the film "Train to Tomorrow" was released, in which Safonov played the role of Bukharin. According to director Villena Azarov's idea, Bukharin had to be rehabilitated in the eyes of the public.

In the dispute between him and Lenin about the Brest-Litovsk Peace, Bukharin argued that peace should be concluded. Cinematographic officials did not appreciate the director's new picture and quickly removed it. Only a few managed to see this film.

Safonova became truly famous for her role in the film "Seventeen Moments of Spring", which was released on big screens in 1973. Despite the popularity that came with the release of this film, from that moment on, the man was invited only to the roles of negative characters.

In his youth, Alexei was very worried about this, but until recently he hoped that this streak would end soon. However, up to this point, the man had to become a negative hero more than once, for example, Corgert in The Dossier of a Man in a Mercedes, Hitler in the film Rebellious Oreon, Golubkov in the film Aniskin and Fantômas. Photos of the characters played by the man are presented in large numbers on the Internet.

Only in 1989 does a man get a role that he likes. Working in the film "Feasts of Belshazzar, or the Night with Stalin" in the role of the Abkhaz leader Nestor Lakoba brought pleasure to the man and erased the image of the "villain" from him.

Further career brings the talented actor many more roles in films of different genres. The man starred in the films "Operation Trust", "Double trap", "Sketches about Vrubel", "Front behind enemy lines" and others.

The personal life of a popular artist was not immediately successful. The actor's first marriage was unsuccessful, although the man had a child from him. Safonov's firstborn was a girl who today, already being an adult woman, herself has children. She did not follow in her father's footsteps, but chose a quiet life and work in a computer company.

Safonov's second marriage brought the man more happiness. Natalya Kaznacheeva, an actress and dubbing master, became his wife. The woman graduated from the same university as her husband, but only in 1979. As an actress, she is known for the films "The Married Bachelor", "Balamut" and others. Immediately after receiving professional education, she got a job on dubbing. On one of the recordings I met my future husband.

The creative family lived together, and soon after the wedding, the young began to talk about children. Natalya gave birth to her husband another daughter, who was named Anna.

On October 8, 2018, the actor celebrated his 80th birthday. Since a man has worked hard all his life, after retirement, he prefers to rest as much as possible.

Today, the actor spends a lot of time with his family - his wife Natalia, daughters and their children, he is quite happy in the role of a grandfather. Now the artist lives in two cities - in an apartment in Moscow and in his native Sergiev Posad, where he has a house.
