Boris Plotnikov

Most viewers remembered this actor for the role of Dr. Bormental in the film "Heart of a Dog" by Vladimir Bortko. But true connoisseurs of Soviet and Russian cinema know that this is only one of the many talented roles of Boris Plotnikov.

Boris Grigorievich Plotnikov was born in April 1949 in the town of Nevyansk, Sverdlovsk Region. There were no artists or people of art in the Plotnikov family. Mom worked as a process engineer, and my father was a simple locksmith. Soon after the birth of their son, the family changed their place of residence, moving to Novouralsk. Here Boris Plotnikov entered the local music school. Mom dreamed of seeing her son as a violinist. But the young man did not live up to his parental hopes: after graduating from school, Plotnikov failed the exams at the Sverdlovsk Conservatory.

Boris did not give up and went to another university - theatrical. Here the young man was lucky. Boris became a student at the Sverdlovsk Theater School and got on a course with the talented teacher Yuri Zhigulsky.

After the presentation of the diploma, Boris Plotnikov received an invitation as a mentor to the Sverdlovsk Youth Theater headed by him. Here the young man made his debut playing fairy tale characters. Somewhat later, roles from classical works appeared in the actor's repertoire. In just 10 years of work in this theatrical collective, the artist played 30 roles.

In the late 1970s, Plotnikov moved to Moscow and was accepted into the troupe of the Moscow Satire Theater, where at first he often dubbed Andrei Mironov. The actor's repertoire began to replenish with the performances "Repair", "The Cherry Orchard", "Shadows", "Mad Money", "Phenomena".

10 years later, Boris changed this scene to the stage of the Central Academic Theater of the Soviet Army. Cooperation with the new theatrical collective began with the introduction of the director Leonid Kheifits "Idiot" into the already completed performance. The troupe went on tour, and both performers of the role of Prince Myshkin were engaged in Moscow. Boris Plotnikov was introduced to the play on the go, assuming that the artist would play only four times. But the actor's play impressed the audience and the production director so much that the role was assigned to Plotnikov for 12 long years.

And in the early 2000s, Boris Grigorievich Plotnikov began working at the Moscow Art Theater named after A.P. Chekhov. Initially, Boris Plotnikov acted as a guest artist, performer of the role of Goldoni in the play "Goodbye and applaud!" in the theater of Oleg Tabakov, after which Oleg Pavlovich invited Plotnikov to the troupe of the Moscow Art Theater.

The cinematic biography of Boris Plotnikov did not develop for a long time. The provincial artist regularly auditioned at the Sverdlovsk film studio, trying to get a secondary role, but each time he was refused because of his non-cinematic nature, which was noted by the staff of the film studio.

The debut took place in 1976 in the famous war drama directed by Larisa Shepitko "Ascent", and the actor was entrusted to play the main character. When Boris Plotnikov received a telegram from Mosfilm, the actor thought it was just another prank of his colleagues, and did not even give an answer. Two more invitations followed, after which Boris Plotnikov responded. Shepitko was looking for an unknown artist for this role, so Andrei Myagkov, Vladimir Vysotsky and Nikolai Gubenko, who applied for this job, were refused.

But Plotnikov, whose photo was in the filing cabinet of the film studio, seemed to the director an ideal candidate. The main scenes were filmed near Murom, it was freezing outside, but the extreme conditions did not frighten the young artist, who had been trying to get on the screen for a long time.

The novice artist played so brilliantly that immediately after the release of the picture he was among the most promising young actors in the country. Ascension won the Golden Bear Grand Prix at the Berlin International Film Festival and a host of other prestigious awards.

The first work was followed by a series of paintings in which Boris Plotnikov embodied diverse images: an icon painter in the historical film Emelyan Pugachev, a young theater director in the film On the Eve of the Premiere, a scientist-ethnographer in the mystical detective story The Wild Hunt of King Stakh, Manfred in drama "Two Chapters from a Family Chronicle."

Among other roles of Boris Plotnikov, which the actor can rightfully be proud of, Don Luis in Svetlana Druzhinina's comedy film Dulcinea Tobosskaya and a charming adventurer in Vladimir Motyl's film The Incredible Bet.

Among the heroes of Boris Plotnikov are Peter III from the serial film "Mikhailo Lomonosov", the father of the future poet from the biographical drama "Lermontov", Tsarevich Alexei from the tape "Peter the Great".

Boris Plotnikov's striving to raise his own cultural level is noteworthy. At the peak of his popularity, the actor went to enroll in the Ural University, where he chose the faculty of art history.

The second starring role in the movie came to the artist in 1988. Vladimir Bortko began to film the novel by Mikhail Bulgakov "Heart of a Dog" and invited Plotnikov to play one of the main characters - Dr. Bormental. This work brought the artist incredible fame. The film rightfully took a place in the "golden fund" of Soviet cinema and remains one of the most beloved and frequently viewed films.

In recent years, Boris Grigorievich Plotnikov has appeared on the movie screen in selected projects. The actor disgusts acting in low-quality melodramas for the sake of money, because he basically refuses to "lower the bar" of his own skill. In the new century, the actor replenished his own filmography with works in the drama "Empire under attack", where Boris Plotnikov tried on the image of Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich, in the musical melodrama "Cricket Behind the Hearth", in which the actor got the main role of Cricket, the keeper of the hearth.

In 2006 director Natalya Bondarchuk invited Boris Grigorievich to play in the drama “Pushkin. The last duel ”of the chief of gendarmes of the secret office Leonty Dubelt. Plotnikov agreed. The actor's play, as expected, turned out to be talented and filigree.

In the role of doctor Boris Grigorievich appeared in the action movie "Shadowboxing", and in the detective story "Experts" he played a forensic medical officer. With the participation of Boris Plotnikov, there were also series on the military theme: "Everyone has their own war", "Snipers: Love at gunpoint", "Fighters. The last battle".

The artist is considered "closed" even by his closest colleagues. The personal life, family and children of Boris Plotnikov are a secret behind seven locks, where the actor does not allow friends, let alone journalists. It is only known that Boris Plotnikov has a wife.

Boris Grigorievich is a modest and even reserved person who appreciates his own and someone else's personal space. Perhaps that is why this actor is rarely at various creative evenings or noisy film festivals, avoiding unnecessary attention and unnecessary questions.

Now Boris Grigorievich does not often appear on the screen. The artist himself considers himself more a theatrical than a film actor. Boris Plotnikov is one of the leading artists of the troupe of the Moscow Art Theater named after A.P. Chekhov. Theatergoers are happy to watch performances with the participation of Boris Grigorievich, noting that Plotnikov is one of those who are subject to all existing genres and roles.

In 2017, with the participation of Plotnikov, the premiere of the series "Wings of the Empire" took place, where Boris Grigorievich appeared before television viewers in the form of Count Pyotr Kirsanov-Dvinsky.
