Vladimir Vysotsky's childhood was held in Moscow. He sang about this in one of his songs - "The Ballad of Childhood". His parents divorced, having lived in marriage for only five years. Then the father and mother had second marriages. During the war, Vladimir was in evacuation, in the Urals, and after the war he went with his father, who had the rank of officer, to Germany. This period of life was completely different from that of other peers. Volodya liked to live with his father and stepmother. With them, the guy had a good relationship. But, then he had to return to Moscow, to his mother and stepfather. With his stepfather, he did not get on very well, therefore, he tried not to stay at home for a long time. Of course, on the streets of Moscow, he met with local children who liked to sing blatant songs to the guitar. This is how Volodya learned to play on this musical instrument.
But, besides playing the guitar in the yards, Volodya had other hobbies. For example, when a guy was in the tenth grade, he happily went to a drama club. Even then, he began to think of becoming an actor. But, after a good reflection, Vysotsky did enter the engineering and construction institute. However, the guy quickly realized that it was not for him. On New Year's Eve he drew drawings for a long time with a friend, and then poured them, already prepared, with ink, and said that he no longer wanted to do it. He just need to enter the theater. Soon Vysotsky entered the school named after Nemirovich-Danchenko, who worked under the Moscow Art Theater.
If we talk about the personal life of the bard, then even in the first year he met with Izoy Zhukova, whom he soon married.
When Vysotsky studied in his third year, his first film test took place. The guy played an episodic role in the film "Peers". In addition, Vysotsky began to get involved in the author's song. It all began with an acquaintance with the work of Bulat Okudzhava. He considered Okudzhava a meter, his mentor in creative life and a few years later dedicated one of his songs to him. However, at the beginning of his creative career, Vladimir wrote texts in the style of "courtyard romance." Therefore, friends are not particularly serious about his work. However, Vysotsky did not take offense at them. He considered his first songs simply entertainment and did not work on them seriously. The first masterpiece was the song "Submarine". His close friend, Igor Kokhanovsky, said that this song was the beginning for his real, serious creative path.
When Vysotsky completed his studies, he worked at the Pushkin Theater, and then at the Miniatures Theater. At that time he got episodic roles or roles in extras. Therefore, Vladimir could not get the expected enjoyment from the game in the theater. And only after going to the Theater on Taganka, Vladimir finally found his place. He played a lot of the most diverse, bright, characteristic and interesting characters. The audience quickly fell in love with a talented actor and enjoyed the performances with his participation.
But in this theater Vysotsky still did not work out everything smoothly. The thing was that he was very fond of the director Yuri Lyubimov for his talent and love of the theater. But many colleagues did not understand the true reasons or just envied. Therefore, they constantly dissolve various rumors, weave behind-the-scenes intrigues. Only Vysotsky's friends, Zolotukhin, Demidova and Filatov always supported him and never believed rumors and gossip.
In 1961, Vysotsky played the first role in the cinema, which was noticed and approved by the public. He starred in the film "Career of Dima Gorin." At that time Vysotsky broke up with his first wife and she left the capital. A Vysotsky met his second wife. She became Lyudmila Abramiova. It was from the marriage with this woman that Vladimir left the sons of Arkady and Nikita. At the same time, Vysotsky's work became more and more popular. At first his songs were sung only in the capital. And then they began to be heard in many cities. But his songs were still pretty stupid then. In addition, Vladimir wrote them not under his own name, but under a pseudonym Sergei Kulishov.
The real success to Vysotsky, as an actor, came in 1967. It was then that he starred in the movie "Vertical". In addition, Vladimir wrote many songs for the film, which quickly fell in love with the people and are known and popular to this day.
At the same time, Vysotsky met his third wife - Marina Vlady. He saw the film with her and fell in love. After acquaintance the man at once decided that he would not let her go anywhere. And it happened. They stayed together until the last day. Marina always tried to help him, to give the chance to live happily ever after.
Vladimir Vysotsky always exposed the problems of that time, he was not afraid to speak about them in the ear. That is why every year the authorities treated him worse and worse, they did not give a film. But, nevertheless, Vladimir was able to play his most vivid role - Gleb Zhiglov in "The meeting place can not be changed."
Vladimir Vysotsky passed away on July 25, 1980. At his funeral the whole capital came, although the authorities did not advertise this event. But people recognized and went to say goodbye to a man who became a whole era, who spoke about what others were silent about. Which became for many a teacher and mentor. Who never was afraid to live for real.
