Viktor Bychkov

It so happens that an actor appears in dozens of films, plays many diverse roles, but fans choose the brightest image and forever associate the artist and the character. It happened with Viktor Bychkov. It doesn't matter if he appears in a Santa Claus fur coat, in a medical gown or in a 19th century suit, the audience will immediately cry out: "This is Kuzmich from the Peculiarities of the National Hunt!" Although little children are more likely to remember the actor in the image of the household uncle Viti from "Good night, kids!".

But it could have happened that the world would never have recognized the actor Bychkov. The fact is that Victor grew up in a Leningrad multi-room communal apartment without financial excesses. Together with the boy's family, another 40 people shared the living space. And although from an early age Vitya showed a pronounced artistry, the mother, who survived the blockade and is raising her son without a father, persuaded her son to get a "real" profession that would allow him to stand firmly on his feet.

The boy studied well at school, so he could easily enter any educational institution. After the 8th grade, Bychkov submits documents to a medical school. But then fate intervened: at the interview, Victor joked unsuccessfully, the teacher made a remark, and the young man was offended and did not enter.

In order not to return to school, Bychkov began to study at a vocational school, but he appeared at the school less often than in a theater studio, where he enrolled as soon as he became a student. Bychkov began, whose height by that time was already 186 cm, with small roles without words, but soon the central characters began to trust him.

After serving in the Armed Forces, the young man went to get higher education. And this time no one was able to dissuade him from a specialized acting university. But the first attempt was unsuccessful for Bychkov. Frustrated, he gave up on himself and decided never to go on the stage again.

But at the funeral of his first studio mentor, actor Robert Petrov, Victor heard one phrase from all the master's colleagues: “Robert wanted to see you as an actor”. Bychkov believed in himself and the next year he became a student of the acting department. At the Leningrad State Institute of Theater, Music and Cinematography, People's Artist of the USSR Igor Vladimirov helped Victor to reveal his talent. And then the actor opened up broad perspectives in theater and cinema.

Bychkov was opened to the audience by director Alexander Rogozhkin. And if in the first joint tape "For the sake of a few lines" Victor's airtime is not so great, then everything changes radically. Joint films "Operation Happy New Year!", "Miss Millionaire", "Third Planet", "Life with an Idiot" invariably arouse public interest.

Furor played the role of the huntsman Kuzmich in the comedy "Peculiarities of the National Hunt", directed by Alexander Rogozhkin again. The film gained fabulous popularity among Russian-speaking viewers, regardless of their country of residence. The comedy was dismantled brick by brick into quotes, and Viktor Bychkov remained Kuzmich forever in the vastness of Russia.

The role influenced the creative biography of the actor. Victor is happy to exploit this image. He conducts excursions around Karelia and, dressed as a famous huntsman, tells tourists about the best places in the northern region. At one time Bychkov worked in Finland in a framing workshop, which was kept by Ville Haapasalo's parents. In the same place, the actors released the play "Diary of a Madman", where Ville played the main role, and Victor appeared in different characters - Nikolai Gogol, the orderly, the storyteller.

In the cinema, Kuzmich also did not disappear from the screens. The story continued in the comedies "Peculiarities of National Fishing", "Peculiarities of National Hunting in Winter", "Peculiarities of National Policy" and "Peculiarities of the Russian Bath".

The image of Kuzmich became iconic for the actor and his fans, so Victor decided to establish a special prize - the Kuzmich Prize. The award in the form of a cap with earflaps is given to those people who have come to a certain result in their lives. Sergei Shakurov, Stanislav Lyubshin and other friends and colleagues of the artist became the "laureates" of this title at one time.

When Bychkov was filming the 1st part of "Features", one of the plot lines was based on the fact that a Finn and a Russian, speaking different languages, understand each other. The actor got the idea to repeat a similar moment, but in a dramatic version. Victor told the director about this idea, and Rogozhkin wrote the script, and then shot the triumphant picture "The Cuckoo".

The actor also got the characteristic role of Stepnin in Vladimir Khotinenko's TV series "Death of the Empire". Alexander Baluev, Sergey Makovetsky, Maria Mironova, Chulpan Khamatova were invited to play the main roles in the film.

In the movie "On the way to the heart" the actor reincarnated as a technical prisoner Ivan. In the comedy "The First Home", the actor got two roles at once - the postman Pechkin and the cigarette saleswoman. The cast of the film turned out to be stellar, it included Ivan Urgant, Nikolai Fomenko, Dmitry Nagiyev, Sofia Rotaru, Lyudmila Gurchenko.

In 2012, with the participation of the artist, the comedy tale "12 Months" was released, where Viktor Bychkov appeared in the form of December. Two years later, the viewer was presented with the screen version of Nikolai Gogol's work "Viy", created in the genre of a fantastic thriller. According to the plot, the European cartographer Jonathan Green (Jason Fleming) finds himself in a small village, fenced off from the outside world, who is faced with inexplicable events taking place in a place forgotten by God.

In 2015, the actor's filmography appeared in the comedy series "Kitchen", where Victor played in the final 6th season the role of Timofey Ilyich, the father of the bartender Kostya (Victor Horinyak).

In 2007, Viktor Bychkov was invited to host the children's program "Good night, kids!", And he was the leading uncle Vitya for 5 years. The screen star has occupied the missing niche of a male educator. The artist created the image of a jack of all trades and instilled in young viewers a love of work.

In 2012, the actor demonstrated his choreographic skills in the show "Dancing with the Stars", but, being the first participant to drop out, he was dissatisfied with this project.

Also Bychkov can be seen in music videos. He starred in the video for the song "Loneliness" by the "Sky" group and in the clip "Sound aggressor" of the Kar-Men show group.

Viktor Bychkov was married three times. The first wife Natalya Vasilyeva, whom the actor met in his youth, as a student at the theater institute, gave birth to his son Grigory, but less than a year later, the couple broke up. After the divorce, the man never saw his first child again.

Victor entered into a second marriage with actress Elena Simonova. Two children were born in this family - a son Fedor and a daughter Arseny. Later, the artist recalled that gradually he and his wife moved away from each other, Bychkov felt lonely, even with a family.

In his personal life, as in his career, there have been changes after 40 years: Bychkov met his soul mate. Theatrical director Polina Belinskaya became his chosen one. Together, the couple brings up little Dobrynya. It is curious that Victor and Polina got married on the actor's birthday - September 4, 2007.

The actor is very sensitive to the memory of his mother. In Boris Korchevnikov's program "The Fate of a Man", he told that my mother, having 4 classes of education, worked for a long time at the state farm. Despite the lack of academic knowledge, the woman enjoyed authority with local agronomists: the plants obeyed her and always bore fruit abundantly. Victor later discovered the same abilities in himself.

Later, when his son grew up, he began to help: Bychkov worked as a postman, a carpenter on a state farm, and washed the floors with his mother. He saw his father only 2 times in his life, but these meetings did not leave positive emotions in his memory.

In 2019, the artist delighted fans with new projects with his participation. He starred in a retro detective about the times of the NEP "Foundling", where he played in an episode.

He also appeared in the cast of the comedy "Two girls on the rocks", where Olga Kartunkova, Alevtina Tukan, Natalya Bochkareva starred. In the film, it was about two girls who are trying to establish their own business.
