Vsevolod Saphonov

The audience remembered this handsome actor with a sophisticated aristocratic appearance in many roles. But, perhaps, the most stellar role was played in the film "The Case of the" Motley ". Here Vsevolod Safonov appeared in the form of Sergei Korshunov, a real knight from the Moscow Criminal Investigation Department. Few words, with discerning "talking" eyes.

Vsevolod Dmitrievich Safonov was born in April 1926 into an intelligent Moscow family. His youth "burned" the war. In 1945, Safonov graduated from an aviation technical school. He dreamed of serving, but the medical commission found reasons not to admit him to the service. The young man did not know what to do next. And then his Majesty intervened by chance, which put everything in its place.

Vsevolod's colleagues, with whom he attended an amateur art group, invited him to try his hand at the theater school. At that time, the guy's future was in a fog, and he agreed.

So Vsevolod Safonov ended up at the Boris Shchukin Theater School. He entered there easily and even somehow naturally. The young man was admitted to the course of the famous teacher Anna Orochko. In 1949, he received a diploma from a famous university and went to seek his place in the fascinating and complex world of art.

The creative biography of Vsevolod Safonov began in the capital's Chamber Theater. A year later, he moved to the Theater of Satire. But even here he stayed only for 2 years. He was looking for a scene where he could feel most comfortable. Therefore, the young actor has more than once passed from one stage to another. In 1958, he stayed for a long time in the capital's Theater-Studio of a film actor.

Vsevolod Safonov made his film debut in 1956. And immediately - from the main role. The painting "Soldiers" and its hero Viktor Kerzhentsev brought fame to the actor. But unlike Innokenty Smoktunovsky, who played Farber in this tape, the directors did not bombard Safonov with proposals. He starred in the films The Purpose of His Life and Beyond. But today nobody knows these pictures. And in the years of their release, they did not become rental hits.

The actor's career took off after the 1958 release of the Mosfilm detective “The Case of the Motley”. His hero Sergei Korshunov really liked the audience for his masculine charisma, restraint and decency.

"The finest hour" came to Vsevolod Safonov in 1970 together with the film "Belorussky Railway Station". The actor played the role of journalist Alexei Kiryushin. Anatoly Papanov, Yevgeny Leonov, Nina Urgant - this talented acting company and competent direction of Andrey Smirnov turned a picture with a very simple plot into a film that was included in the gold reserve of Russian cinema.

During this period, the actor received leading roles almost every year. In 1971, Vsevolod Safonov played the special task commander Burov in the Soviet-Mongolian war film "Listen, on the other side", which went to Mongolia in 1939 to conduct a noise attack and distract Japanese commanders from the place of real hostilities.

In 1972, the actor played the journalist Pyotr Gromov in the three-part political pamphlet The Washington Correspondent. In 1974, the actor played two roles at once of Leonid Fomich Uvarov and Fyodor Drosov in the military television series about the escape from the concentration camp "Conscience".

In 1975, Vsevolod Safonov starred in the main role in the detective drama All the Evidence Against Him, where he played the role of an investigator who realized that the accused driver had been framed and who began searching for the real criminals.

In 1977, the actor got two main roles: in the social drama Being a Brother and in the spy film The Life and Death of Ferdinand Luce, an adaptation of the novel Bomb for the Chairman by Julian Semenov. A year later, the actor appeared in yet another film adaptation - the drama “For Everything Is Responsible”, based on the novel by Omelchenko.

The next leading role came to the actor only in 1980. Vsevolod Safonov played the head of the linear transportation department of a large shipping company, who submitted an application for resignation and is now reflecting on this decision, in the social drama A Day for Reflection. Then there were the main roles in the dramas "Deer Hunt" and "Not All Comets Go Out", as well as a minor, but bright role in the detective series "The Investigation is Conducted by Knowledge".

In the next twenty years, the actor starred much less often and even less often got the main roles. At the end of the Soviet Union, viewers who appreciated and loved Safonov saw him in several more films in which he managed to appear: "To start an investigation", "Deja vu" and "Ten years without the right to correspond."

In the year of his death, in 1992, the actor appeared on the screens in an international project. In the American-Japanese film "Back to the USSR" ("Backinthe USSR") Vsevolod Safonov played the role of Ivan. The actor also played the role of a pilot who served in Spain in the film "Secret Echelon", which was released a year after Vsevolod Safonov passed away.

Vsevolod Safonov does not have so many main roles in cinema. The directors did not line up for him with proposals. This artist turned out to be too “non-Soviet” type, too sad and penetrating eyes. For more than a hundred appearances in films, there are only two dozen roles of the main characters.

But everywhere Vsevolod Dmitrievich remained himself. In each image, the actor brought a piece of his own soul and a unique manner of acting.

Vsevolod Safonov met his first wife Valeria Rubleva in Germany, where the future spouses worked for a short time at the Theater of the Western Group of Forces. Upon returning home, the actors got married. Soon the only daughter of the artist, Elena Safonova, was born, who later also became an actress.

But the married life of this couple did not work out. In the last years of their joint existence, Vsevolod Safonov, having learned from doctors about a terrible diagnosis - cancer, began to drink. My wife, busy with work at Mosfilm, tried to deal with this problem. Realizing that she could not cope with the trouble, she filed for divorce.

The second wife turned out to be the savior who extended the artist's years. Vsevolod Safonov's personal life changed after meeting this woman, the beautiful Elsa Lezhdey. The audience remembered this famous actress for the role of Zinochka from the TV series "Experts are leading the investigation." Ella, as the actress asked herself to call all her friends, put the question bluntly, saying that living together is possible only when Vsevolod excludes from her the "third excess" - alcohol. Safonov agreed. Then a difficult period began in the life of the actor. The artist has not been invited to the cinema for a long time.

The couple lived together for 20 happy years. The spouses did not have joint children. Vsevolod Safonov returned to the profession and found home comfort with a loving and understanding person.

On July 6, 1992, Vsevolod Safonov died. Vsevolod Safonov suffered from cancer, which eventually became the cause of the artist's death. The actor fought the disease for a long time and managed to live with the disease for many years. But the struggle was unequal. The artist died at 66. The actor's grave is at the Khovanskoye cemetery, in the capital.

Elsa Lezhdey survived her husband only 9 years. After the death of Vsevolod Safonov, the woman withdrew into herself and led a reclusive lifestyle. Ella was very worried about separation from her only loved one. Ella Lezhdey passed away in 2001.
