Leonid Barats

Such words sounded in an interview with Leonid Barats. The actor is still not sure what he knows better - in cinema or theater. The first one is more difficult, because you have to obey the directors, and everyone has their own view of what is happening. And a new film is a new experience. In the theater, he seems to understand and can do more. But on the other hand, such periodically visiting doubts for Barats are a reason to move forward and upward, "towards self-confident".

Leonid Barats is an Odessa citizen, a Jew by nationality. He was born in July 1971 in the family of journalist Grigory Barats and kindergarten teacher Zoya Barats. At first they wanted to name the boy Alexey, but then the parents changed their minds and named him in honor of his great-grandfather - Leonid. Probably, the first name was more suitable for the future artist, because his friends and relatives are still calling him Alexei.

Although Leonid's parents were not connected with the world of art, they dreamed that their son would choose a creative profession - either as a journalist, like dad, or as an artist. And Barats's beloved grandmother, who worked as the accompanist of the Odessa Opera House, made sure that her grandson received a musical education.

She instilled in the boy good taste, initiating him into the world of theater, opera and ballet. Leonid Barats attended one of the city music schools, where he learned to play the piano. At first he did not like this occupation, but after meeting with jazz everything changed.

Leonid not only took music lessons, but also performed on the school stage with pleasure. He learned the craft of acting in a theatrical circle, often came to work with his father, where he got the opportunity to study journalistic "cuisine" from the inside. This is probably why it was not easy for Barats, who graduated from school, to decide who to become - a journalist, actor or musician.

The decision was greatly influenced by a long-standing friendship - from the 1st grade - with Rostislav Khait. The guys were not only friends, but also communicated outside the school walls, went to the same circle and performed in amateur performances. After graduating from school, friends decided to try to conquer Moscow. They went to the capital and entered GITIS without much difficulty.

At GITIS Leonid Barats and Rostislav Khait met Alexander Demidov and Kamil Larin. Future artists created a creative union, calling this project "Quartet I". From that moment (1993), men are inseparable. They work together on productions and act as actors themselves. In the same 1993, on the stage of GITIS "Quartet I" staged a debut performance called "These are only cliches", which was a great success.

In 2001, a new play "Radio Day" appeared, the script for which was written by Leonid Barats. The performance brought a resounding success to the creative four. In the play, in addition to the named "quartets", Nonna Grishaeva, Maxim Vitorgan, Alexander Tsekalo played. Radio Day added a lot of points to the rating of performers.

Leonid and his colleagues continued to successfully climb the career ladder. Barats, together with Rostislav Khait and Sergei Petreikov, wrote the script for the next production called "Election Day". The cast of this performance remained the same as in the previous project. True, now the emphasis is shifted more to politics.

With the above-mentioned plays, "Quartet I", having started performing in the capital, soon went on tour in major cities of Russia, and then in the CIS countries. Success accompanied the artists wherever they appeared.

The cinematic biography of Leonid Barats started in 2008. This year the play "Radio Day" was filmed. And the next year the same thing happened with Election Day. The creators and permanent members of Quartet I played the main roles in both films, which received unprecedented interest from the audience and praise from critics. And although television brought Leonid Barats and the company most of the fame and fame, he himself sincerely believes that playing on the theater stage is more interesting and valuable.

In the 2000s, the artists of "Quartet I" filmed their other successful performances. This is how the films What Men Talk About, the sequel What Men Talk About and What Men Talk About. Continuation ".

Leonid Barats can also be seen in the music videos of Svetlana Roerich, Valery Syutkin and the Bravo group, the Combination and Agatha Christie groups. In addition, the characters of some animated films speak in the voice of the artist: Reno from the American cartoon "Volt", Darwin from "Pirates. A gang of losers ”and others. Leonid Barats is the author of the script for the popular animated film "Ivan Tsarevich and the Gray Wolf".

In 2014, the comedy "Faster Than Rabbits" was released in Russia. This is also a project of the "Quartet I". The script for the film was written by Leonid Barats and Rostislav Khait. This is a light and witty comedy about three friends who are trying to figure out where they are and what happened the day before in the morning after a stormy night. Leonid Barats played a character named Lyokha. In addition to him, Alexander Demidov, Kamil Larin, Rostislav Khait, Igor Zolotovitsky and other famous actors starred in the film.

The premiere of Rabbits coincided with the premiere of the third part of the Love in the City melodrama with Svetlana Khodchenkova, Alexey Chadov and Vladimir Zelensky. The latter, who was then artistic director of Studio Kvartal 95, called Leonid with a request to postpone the presentation of his painting to another day, so as not to delay the audience and not suffer losses.

Barats refused, but lost the battle for the audience's wallets. "Love in the City - 3" earned $ 16 million, while "Faster than rabbits" earned $ 5 million, the actor told the YouTube channel "The People".

Another film "Quartet I", in which all the brilliant four starred, was called "Election Day - 2". The artists played the employees of the radio station "Kak radio", who went as PR specialists to the elections in the region. The team is responsible for promoting the candidate Igor Tsaplin, but the client suddenly disappears.

For a long time, the personal life of Leonid Barats was associated with Anna Kasatkina. Young people met at GITIS and got married in 1991. Anya played the wife of the hero Pasha in the film What Men Talk About. In 1994, the couple had their first daughter, who was named Elizabeth. Eva was born in 2003. Lisa is studying in England to become an actress, in 2015 she married an Israeli citizen named Ben. The wedding was played in Cyprus.

Actors Leonid Barats and Anna Kasatkina-Barats have been married for more than twenty years. However, nothing lasts forever under the moon: it became ...

Barats presented the newlyweds with an original gift - a video from the press conference of Vladimir Putin, edited so that instead of answering questions, the head of state congratulates the bride and groom. At the end of 2015, it became known that Leonid and Anna divorced after 24 years of marriage. Nevertheless, they continue to work together, and the children communicate with both their mother and father.

Soon, the actor introduced his entourage to a new girl, Anna Moiseeva, also from Odessa. The chosen one by profession is an economist and psychologist. Leonid met her while still married, Anya was married, raised her son Oleg. Parting with Kasatkina and establishing relations with Moiseeva were not easy. Divorce is generally the most difficult event in Barats's life. Most of all, he was worried about how his daughters would react to this, and first of all he explained that their relationship would not change. And Anna the second at first completely ignored the artist.

IN THE FRESH ISSUE Barats, Leonid Grigorievich - the star of the Theater Quartet I - exclusively shared the list of books "be sure to ...

So such trifles as the difference in age (10 years) and height (judging by the photo, Moiseev is head and shoulders above Leonid, in whom 166 cm) do not play any role. There are few images of the beloved woman on the actor's Instagram, mostly friends-colleagues, creative projects, philosophical reflections and advertising posters.

In his spare time, Leonid Barats loves to play the piano and loves football. He is also known for his critical attitude towards the current Russian government and has repeatedly participated in protests against some bills.

Journalists constantly ask Leonid how the "I Quartet" manages to maintain such a strong friendship that originated in his distant youth. The actor said that everything happened - personal ambitions, scandals, they even tried to fight. But quarrels were perceived as a sign of indifference, there is no relationship without disagreement.
