Vadim Leshikh

The role of the doctor-venereologist Kupitman brought Vadim Demchog to the top of the Russian film Olympus. The series "Interns" became a youth bestseller and received two prestigious cinematic awards - "Golden Rhino" and "TEFI-2016".

Vadim Viktorovich Demchog is not only an actor: he acts in a variety of guises and became famous as a director, screenwriter and radio host. He wrote 5 books and created author projects on television, radio and the Internet. And Vadim Viktorovich is a candidate of psychological sciences. The artist's creative biography is so rich that the description of all the author's projects in which he is involved amazes with a variety of interests.

Vadim was born on March 13, 1963 in the Estonian city of Narva. Mother, a cook by profession, left her husband, taking her 3-month-old son. The woman was officially married 8 times. Despite her down-to-earth profession, Demchog's mother was a creative person: she performed as a toastmaster at weddings, participated in amateur performances. The actor says that his mother had a stormy and sensual temperament, which pushed her to unpredictable actions and deeds. And Vadim Viktorovich claims that in childhood he was left to himself and did not receive maternal love.

In the local House of Pioneers, the boy took part in a puppet show with pleasure, but at school he studied very badly. Vadim assures that he chose the profession of an actor because his mother was not around. The youthful fear of a schoolchild - not to grow up and remain small forever - Demchog outgrew, when over the years he realized that happiness is not in growth.

Until the age of 16, Vadim bore the surname of the father of the Lesser, which he did not like. In the passport, the guy changed his annoying "ugly" surname to his mother's - Demchog. The actor assures that she has Belarusian-Ukrainian roots. Vadim Viktorovich considers himself to be primordially Russian by nationality.

After children and youth classes at the Narva Puppet Theater, Vadim attended the People's Theater, which was directed by Yuri Mikhalev. From the first performances, the guy realized that he would connect his future life with the fascinating world of theater and cinema. More Demchog at that time was not interested in anything. He studied very badly, brought home two and three. For this reason, Vadim received a certificate of incomplete secondary education.

However, Demchog entered LGITMiK independently. The future artist studied under the supervision of Professor Zinovy ​​Karogodsky. Until now, Vadim Viktorovich remembers the mentor with admiration and respect, calling him a teacher from God.

Demchog graduated from LGITMiK in 1984 and first worked at the Moscow Theater for Young Spectators.

The 90s examined the novice actor, like everyone else, for strength. In order to survive and find himself, Vadim tried many occupations, sometimes alien and unfamiliar: he delivered goods to the city's markets, worked at a construction site, and drove cars from Europe. The last lesson enabled Vadim to remain financially independent.

In his youth, Demchog also traveled a lot, communicated with interesting people, studied Buddhism (he even made a film about this eastern religion), meditated and experimented.

In 1992, Vadim worked as a radio host for the popular Europa Plus radio. Since 2001, he teaches, writes and publishes the popular book "Self-Liberating Game" with his vision of the acting profession, in which he systematizes his own theory. Especially for readers interested in the topic, Demchog created a website - a kind of master class, where he regularly answered questions.

For radio, Vadim Viktorovich has developed an interesting hoax game called "Frankie Show". The program was broadcast every day from 2004 to 2011 on the Silver Rain radio. The plot of each episode of the program was devoted to a certain character, on behalf of whom Demchog, in the form of a narrator, described experiences and biographical facts. Listeners were given the opportunity to guess the hero of the story.

And in 2010, on the Kultura TV channel, Demchog presented his author's project to the audience, calling it “The Greatest Show on Earth”. As conceived by the author, each viewer could become an actor and play a role on the other side of the screen. Vadim Viktorovich led the project under the stage name Mister Nobody. The artist's wife, Veronica, also took part in the program. Each time she appeared in the role of lovers or wives of the main characters of the release.

Demchog developed the Ottuda.ru website. From 2011 to 2013, a program called "Broadcast From There" was released on this resource. As conceived by the artist, the site was created for communication with dead people, and the mediator of mystical conversations is Mad Frankie, who died on the air. Frankie speaks in Demchog's voice.

The named projects of Vadim are of an entertaining and philosophical nature and help the participants to look at the world as a variety of game models. In this vein, the artist conceived and created the School of Play, within the framework of which he conducts a series of trainings that “provide mechanisms for emancipation from clamps and internal concepts, from the phrases“ right ”and“ wrong ”,“ good ”and“ bad ”."

These are psychological games, the participants of which, according to Vadim Demchog, are liberated and become creative people.

The cinematic biography of Vadim Demchog began in 2003. The actor made his debut in an episode of the 2nd season of the TV series "NLS Agency". In the same year, he was entrusted with a supporting role in the 5th season of Streets of Broken Lanterns.

From 2004 to 2009, the artist's filmography grew rapidly, but the directors did not offer the main roles. 2/3 of the films in which Vadim starred in 5 years are serials. Viewers saw him in the multi-part projects "Sisters", "Airport", "Hunters for Icons", "Everybody Dance!", "Four Ages of Love" and "Two Sisters".

In "The Golden Calf" by Ulyana Shilkina Demchog played the chairman of the executive committee. The adaptation of the novel by Ilya Ilf and Yevgeny Petrov won the Honorary Ignorance award and received devastating reviews from critics. But the artist was lucky to work on the same set with the stars of Russian cinema - Oleg Menshikov, Dmitry Nazarov, Mikhail Efremov and Mikhail Svetin.

The finest hour for the actor came when the super-series "Interns" with Ivan Okhlobystin, beloved by millions, was released on the screens, where Demchog plays the venereal doctor Kupitman. As the actor later admitted in an interview, he arrived at the audition without much enthusiasm: he was in a hurry with his family to the resort. In addition, Vadim already had a negative impression of the sitcom genre, so he read the text dryly on camera. But the producer of the project, Vyacheslav Dusmukhametov, persuaded the actor to act, and Demchog was impressed by the participation of his old friend Ivan in the project.

Since the release of the comedy on screens, viewers have identified Vadim Viktorovich with his hero, attributing to him the doctor's shortcomings. But the artist denies the similarity, claiming that he is a different person in life, and associations with a popular venereologist are inappropriate.

Vadim really enjoyed working with Okhlobystin and the series. All the actors who starred in the main and secondary roles became stars after the "Interns". Ilya Glinnikov, Svetlana Kamynina, Svetlana Permyakova, Alexander Ilyin, Kristina Asmus and Dmitry Sharakois joined the company of two friends, heads of departments.

A creative, positive atmosphere has always reigned on the set. Often the artists arranged jokes for each other. For example, one day, before his tour in Tula, Demchog received an order from Okhlobystin: to bring a "trunk". After playing along with a friend, Vadim presented him with a bag after the trip, where there were 2 Tula gingerbreads in the form of revolvers.

Vadim Demchog starred in all seasons of the comedy series, which ran from 2010 to 2016.

Despite Vadim's busyness on the radio, in the theater and at the trainings of the "School of the Game", films with the artist's participation continue to delight the audience. In 2012, 3 projects with Demchog's participation were released: Teacher's Day, Nightingale the Robber and the multi-part thriller The Rook by Andrey Volgin. On the set of the last two projects, the actor again met with Ivan Okhlobystin.

"Interns" opened the actor to the directors, and the main roles appeared in his filmography. In the short film Thunderstorm, Vadim played the Chancellor of the Heavenly Squadron, and in the Nightingale the Robber, the director of the construction holding Pasha.

In 2015, the movie "Corset" was released. This is the story of the mad genius Master Ferdinand, who creates killer corsets for vicious society ladies. The master was played by Vadim. In the same year, the artist appeared in an episode of the rating series “Vlasik. Stalin's Shadow ".

Vadim managed to embody the characteristic images in the crime film "Department" and the comedy "I remember, I don't remember!". The second picture was warmly received by the audience, which affected the box office. The all-star cast, which included Natalya Medvedeva, Polina Maksimova, Konstantin Kryukov, Lyudmila Artemieva, Anna Ardova, and the original plot influenced her success.

Love for mysticism pushed Demchog to the directorial debut. In "Bulgakov's House" he presented the mystical performance "Arlekiniada". The performers of the production were the actors of the theater of the same name. The plot of the story describes a psychotherapy session of a young man. Vadim himself was the psychiatrist. The patient's inner experiences were presented to the audience in the form of a joint game of 12 Harlequins. Later, by the forces of Vadim's associates, the play "Close your eyes and see!" Was released.

In addition to his work at the Arlekiniada Theater, Vadim has appeared in productions of other theater groups. In the early 2000s, he appeared in the form of a mad rabbi in Kama Ginkas's play Dreams of Exile. The role in the play "Orchestra" by Lev Ehrenburg brought the actor the main prize of the "Christmas Parade" festival for Best Actor.

In 2017, Vadim Demchog presented a new book "The Phenomenon of the Game" to fans of his writing talent. The artist conducts psychological trainings and creative meetings. In the spring of 2017, a series of trainings by Demchog's School of Play was announced in Moscow.

The personal life of Vadim Demchog did not immediately develop happily. The artist has a daughter from a failed first marriage: Nastya was born in 1987. She is married and lives in Germany.

The second wife of Vadim Demchog was the actress Veronika Ryabkova, who is 12 years younger. According to unconfirmed information, Demchog took the beauty from under the aisle: Veronica had a wedding planned with a St. Petersburg businessman. For 3 years, the actor's exhausting romance lasted - the girl could not decide on her feelings. Everything was decided by moving to Moscow. Veronica went after Vadim, and they never parted.

In 2005, a son, William, appeared in the family. The father wants the boy to become a "citizen of the world", so he chose a European name for his son.

William Demchog appeared on the screen twice: in the film "Friend or Foe" and in the TV series "Interns". In an interview, the actor repeatedly said that family and children are his wealth, and he is happy that he has an interesting job and his beloved wife and son.

At one time, the actor's personal life became the subject of discussion in the media. According to rumors, wife Veronica filed for divorce. It was rumored that Vadim Demchog, like his film character Ivan Kupitman, was a womanizer. Women adore this short (the artist's height is 1.69 m), but incredibly charismatic man and willingly respond to his courtship. Allegedly, the wife was tired of the constant betrayal of the unfaithful husband and decided to break off the marriage.

The spouses themselves claim that their "divorce" is the newspaper "canard" of unscrupulous journalists: Vadim and Veronika Demchog still live together and raise a son. They bought a 3-room apartment in Moscow and are not going to part. In the artist's Instagram photo, his wife does not appear often: Veronica prefers to remain in the shadow of her famous husband, but Vadim constantly publishes footage with her beloved son.

In 2018, Demchog presented to theatrical Moscow a new production of "Goat's Face" based on the play "The Snow Maiden" by Alexander Ostrovsky. The performance is replete with acrobatic performances, performances by musicians and dramatic dialogues.

In the spring, the actor gave an interview to Tatyana Ustinova in the program "My Hero". Now he is filming the comedy "The Kholop" project, produced by Taimuraz Badziev and David Tsallayev. According to the plot of the film, the father, tired of the antics of a spoiled child, sends him to re-education in the village, where the young man goes to work as an assistant in the stable. In addition to Vadim Demchog, his colleagues from the Interns, Ilya Glinnikov and Ivan Okhlobystin, are involved in the film. The premiere of the film, according to the plans of the creators, should take place in 2019.
