Vasiliy Stepanov

Vasily Stepanov is a Russian actor who was remembered by viewers for his participation in the film "Inhabited Island".

His fate can be called tragic, because the phenomenal success in the film by Fyodor Bondarchuk was a temporary achievement, and the rapid oblivion led to depression, which destroyed the consciousness of the once famous movie star.

Vasily Stepanov was born on January 14, 1986 in Moscow. He comes from a simple family. His mother worked as a salesman, being a school teacher before. The father of the young talent, a native of the small village of Krupenikhi, Smolensk region, worked as a policeman. The actor has a younger brother, Maxim. As a little boy, Vasily spent all summer holidays with his beloved grandmother in the village. Judging by her recollections, as a child he was a difficult child, a fighter and a ringleader.

With his studies, it was not very good for him, so after school the future actor entered the technical school of physical culture and sports. There Stepanov received the specialty of a physical education teacher. In the course of his studies, the young man attended classes in hand-to-hand fighting and even received the title of master of sports. But soon he wanted to change his life and move away from sports competitions. Vasily entered the law institute. Despite the eagerness to obtain a law degree, the student was expelled due to frequent absenteeism.

In order to compensate for failures in his studies, the future actor got a job as a bartender and starred in several commercials. One video with his participation campaigned for contract military service, although Vasily himself did not serve in the army.

Friends of Stepanov saw talent in him, so they insisted that the guy try his hand and enroll in VGIK for acting classes. Vasily tried to enter several theater universities at once, but in the end he chose the Shchukin school, where he was a student of Vladimir Poglazov.

At the audition, Stepanov met Pavel Kaplevich, the main person in his life. He directed the casting of actors for the film "Inhabited Island". Noticing his young talent, he made an appointment with Stepanov with Fyodor Bondarchuk. The director appreciated the guy's appearance: handsome and handsome (Stepanov's height is 192 cm with a weight of 85 kg), he was suitable for the role of the main character of the film by Maxim Kammerer.

To participate in the filming of the film, the artist took a short academic leave. The painting "Inhabited Island" made him famous in just one day. True, for the film, Stepanov had to tint his hair, and then the ashy blond became the embodiment of the dreams of many Russian girls.

In addition to working in film and theater, he also tried his hand as a television presenter. So, in 2011, Stepanov hosted the TV show "Have not seen for a long time" on the TV Center channel. But the actor managed to appear only in a few programs, after which he ended his career as a TV presenter.

In 2009 Vasily Stepanov took part in a photo session for the cover of the book "Attraction". The model Olga Golovina made him a couple. Their pictures soon appeared on promotional posters and in commercials for the book of the writer Elena Usacheva, and fans started talking about preparing for the creation of a new film by analogy with the American "Twilight".

Vasily Stepanov could also be met on the stage. Among the stage works of the talented actor, the audience remembered the performance of the role of the schizophrenic Edward in the production of Veronica Decides to Die.

The feature film "Inhabited Island" directed by Fyodor Bondarchuk became a breakthrough in his creative biography for Vasily. The adaptation of the novel of the same name by the Strugatsky brothers elevated the actor to the top of Russian cinema. In addition to Stepanov, famous film actors such as Sergei Garmash, Fyodor Bondarchuk, Pyotr Fedorov, Gosha Kutsenko, Yulia Snigir, Alexei Serebryakov, Mikhail Evlanov and others were involved in the filming of the film.

The film tells about Maxim Kammerer, an earthling from the future, who ended up on the post-apocalyptic planet Saraksh and was involved in the fight against the local regime. The audience appreciated the new film. Soon the second part of the sci-fi film "Inhabited Island: Fight" was released.

The tape received positive reviews for the special effects and visuals, and many experts negatively perceived the editing of the film and the leading role by Vasily Stepanov. Nevertheless, most of the experts said that the actor, with his acting and professionalism, even surpassed other celebrities who participated in the filming.

Among all the films that were shot in Russia in 2009, "Inhabited Island" was the most successful at the box office. At the end of the year, the film received $ 21.8 million at the box office, entering the list of top films in Europe.

It would seem that participation in such work will allow Vasily to reach a new level, and his filmography will be replenished with new bright roles, but a streak of failures began in his life, fortune turned away from him.

After participating in the film "Inhabited Island", many social network users began to wonder where Vasily Stepanov disappeared. In 2014, the actor appeared in the program “Speak and Show”. It turned out that fate was unfavorable to Vasily. After participating in the film, numerous troubles fell on the artist, he had to go through many trials - illness, lack of money, debts, oblivion.

A protracted creative and personal crisis began. Perhaps the apathy was caused by stress and emotional overload during the filming of the film.

The Russian media repeatedly reported that after participating in the filming of Inhabited Island, the artist no longer received offers from other directors, but Daria Yegorova, who lived with the actor at one time in a civil marriage, assures that this is not so. According to the girl, there were many options, but the actor was indifferent to any initiatives of directors and producers.

Total depression engulfed him: problems arise in his studies, it was not possible to get into auditions, and the alliance with Daria disintegrates.

In these difficult moments, Vasily is helped by his family. His relatives turned to specialists for medical help. In order to pay for the expensive course of treatment, Stepanov's family is forced to take out a loan. Vasily washed trolleybuses at night, trying to help pay off the debt.

It seemed that the disease was receding, like a new serious illness depriving the actor of strength. A torn off blood clot in his left leg almost led to death, and only a timely surgical operation saved Vasily's life.

Failures changed Stepanov's stellar appearance. Now it is almost impossible to recognize the handsome Maxim from the Inhabited Island in him. The depressive state significantly affected the actor, and a severe spinal injury made the situation even worse.

At the end of 2016, Vasily began acting for the first time in many years. Photos from the filming of the movie "Tankers" (at the box office - "Indestructible"), in which the actor took part, even appeared on the Instagram network. His relatives and colleagues were already able to notice how much Vasily was inspired and strived to realize himself again in the cinema, but then the villainous fate intervened again.

Shortly before the New Year 2017, during frost and icy conditions, Stepanov received serious damage. Climbing the stairs, the artist slipped and fell. As a result, Vasily's doctors recorded a fracture of the hip bone and two vertebrae. Doctors prescribed him bed rest, and also prescribed constant examinations, saying that the actor needs to learn to walk again.

Maxim Stepanov, Vasily's younger brother, commented on the actor's state of health in the "Live" program. According to him, doctors in February 2017 gave a comforting prognosis regarding Vasily's physical condition. He stated that his brother will walk, but a rehabilitation period is required.

Vasily himself calls a series of failures "Bondarchuk's curse." In one interview with the media, he said that he could not return to its former glory because of his participation in the popular blockbuster "Inhabited Island". According to him, after filming the film, he is not even hired as a courier or a sales assistant, because they are afraid that fans will visit the store only to get an autograph from the once famous actor.

On April 12, 2017 it became known that Stepanov, the star of Inhabited Island, fell out of the window of the apartment, which is located on the 5th floor. The actor received many injuries and fractures, but has already been discharged from the hospital. The investigation did not rule out the possibility of a suicide attempt, Vasily was placed in a psychiatric hospital for examination.

The diagnosis was made - schizophrenia, but it turned out that everything that happened to the artist was an accident. Stepanov saw a cat outside the window, hanging on the cornice. He decided to help the animal, but could not resist the visor. The artist survived, but received multiple fractures of the pelvis, right shoulder and calcaneus bones.

Little is known about the artist's personal life. After filming the film "Inhabited Island", thousands of fans dreamed of meeting him. The blue-eyed blonde was a welcome guest at many parties and star parties, but soon everything changed.

The actor has not yet managed to establish a personal life. True, Stepanov had a serious relationship. The first student's love is the artist Daria Egorova. They not only met, but also managed to live in a civil marriage. Soon, the girl decided to end the relationship, saying that she was tired of fighting the constant depression of her beloved.

Now he is free and is looking for a girl for a permanent relationship. Although, according to Daria, the actor still has not forgotten his first love. From time to time he calls her, but every time the communication of the former lovers ends in a quarrel.

After a series of tragic incidents, director Natalya Verevkina came to the aid of a colleague, who began work on the project "Who's Next, Dreamers?"

The film tells the story of the life and work of a dancer who, after an accident, tries to start all over again. Vasily appeared on the screen as a visitor to the office of the insurance company, where the main character went to work (Igor Petrov). The actor's younger brother Maxim Stepanov also appeared in a cameo role.

Initially, it was planned to use the star of "Inhabited Island" in the role of director of the company, but due to an accident, Stepanov was forced to skip filming the planned episodes. According to the director, the artist behaved in a disciplined, professional manner, showing no signs of depression or star fever. The film was not released for a long time, as there were difficulties with financing. The premiere took place at the end of 2018.
