Igor Artashonov

“Honored Bandit of Russian Cinema” - this is how the actor Igor Artashonov was jokingly called by his colleagues. He really played many "criminal elements", although there were also quite a few goodies. But it just so happened that sharp-looking characters are better remembered.

Igor Gennadievich Artashonov was born in March 1964 in Kazakhstan. He spent his childhood and youth in Karaganda. The future artist was born and raised in a simple family that has nothing to do with the art world.

It is not known where a simple Karaganda guy got the desire to go on stage, but this desire turned out to be very strong. So much so that after graduating from secondary school, Igor Artashonov went to Moscow and on the first try entered the legendary Moscow Art Theater School.

For several years, the future artist enthusiastically mastered the intricacies of acting on the course of Vasily Markov. In 1991, Artashonov received a diploma from a theater university, but considered that the acquired knowledge was not enough. Therefore, Igor Gennadievich went to the British American Academy of Arts, which is located in Oxford.

Soon, returning from Great Britain, Igor Artashonov appeared on the stage of the capital's theaters. He played in productions of such talented directors as Oleg Efremov, Alexander Kalyagin and Dmitry Brusnikin. He was accepted into the troupe of the famous Moscow Art Theater named after A.P. Chekhov.

Theatergoers saw Artashonov in many talented and bright performances, the most striking of which were "The Deer and the Shalashovka", "Cancer Ward", "Weeping in a Fistful", "Henry IV", "Violets of Montmartre" and "Cabal of Saints".

But a wide audience learned about the existence of a talented actor only after he appeared on TV screens. But at the same time, he does not leave the theater. The scene remains very important to him. In 2001, he moved from the Moscow Art Theater to the theater of Mikhail Gorevoy "Factory of theatrical events". The artist appeared on this stage for 5 years.

The audience enjoyed watching him play in the performances "People and Mouse" and "The Devil". And in 2006, Artashonov became a member of the Et-cetera Theater troupe, led by Alexander Kalyagin. On this stage, he brilliantly embodied the images of the Doctor in the production of "Suppress and Excite" and the character of Balike in the play "Drums in the Night".

Cinematic biography of Igor Artashonov began in 1988. This year, viewers saw a bright and memorable artist in the filmed play "Cabal of the Holy One". In the same year, he appeared in a feature film. It was the drama by Alexander Zeldovich "Sunset". Solomon, the hero of Artashonov, immediately attracted the close attention of sophisticated TV viewers with his masterful play.

For a long time, Artashonov plays only supporting characters in the cinema. But his characters, thanks to the skill of the actor, are so voluminous and bright that they are immediately engraved in memory. Zek Mitya in the crime series "The Zone" and Ryaboy in "MUR is MUR" are the best examples of this.

Probably, the images of criminals and criminals, played by Igor Artashonov in his debut films, impressed the directors so much that for a long time they offer the artist just such characters.

Such are the heroes of Artashonov in the thriller "Throw-In", the TV series "Liquidation", the melodrama "The Banker's Girlfriend", the crime films "Boomer-2" and "Teacher in Law", the drama "Gangs" and even the musical comedy "National Treasure".

It seems that Igor Artashonov got “on the other side” of the crime only in 2008, when he played the investigator Sergei Topilskiy in the acclaimed film by Vadim Shmelev “SSD”.

In 2011, the actor played the famous Soviet military leader Vasily Chuikov in the biographical film of Alexei Pimanov "Zhukov". But in the same year, Artashonov again "returned" to the world of crime in the wonderful series "The Life and Adventures of Mishka Yaponchik" by Sergei Ginzburg.

Of the last projects in which this bright and wonderful artist appeared, the most rated were the series "Fighters" and "Youth".

Igor Artashonov belonged to those artists who earned their authority not by PR, but by painstaking work on stage and on the set. The press never wrote about any scandalous antics of the actor or stormy events in his private life.

Igor Artashonov was married to a colleague in the acting workshop Kristina Ruban. The significant age difference - Christina was 19 years younger than her husband - did not interfere with their quiet family happiness. The couple lived very amicably. In this marriage, a daughter, Lada, was born. The girl, at an early age, began to show a great interest in the profession of parents.

2015 began tragically for the family of Igor Artashonov. In January, when his wife Kristina and her daughter Lada went to their parents in Bryansk, robbers broke into their rented apartment. The actor was beaten half to death. He was taken to the hospital in critical condition and immediately put into an artificial coma.

He miraculously survived and very slowly began to recover. Colleagues, as best they could, helped the family during this period, because Artashonov needed considerable funds for the operation.

But in mid-July, Igor Artashonov's condition deteriorated sharply. On July 18, 2015, the actor died. An autopsy showed that the cause of death was a detached blood clot.
