Parents lived in the famous city of Tolyatti, where the VAZ automobile plant is located. My father worked at this enterprise as a fitter, and his mother an accountant.
The boy spent a lot of time with his grandfather. They often went to the forest for mushrooms and fishing. Communication with a war veteran had a beneficial effect on Sasha. When it came time to choose a profession, he decided to become a pilot. But the state of health blocked the path to a dream. Having received a certificate of maturity, Arseniev tried to enter the Kuibyshev University, but failed the entrance exams. With the disorder, he went to study at a vocational school for electromechanics. And after graduation, he was drafted into the army.
In the acting field
Serve Arseniev fell in the infantry. In between training sessions, he took part in amateur performances. Sang popular songs. He recited poetry. He danced "gypsy" and "mistress." Sending a soldier to a civilian, commander of a unit, a gray-haired colonel admonished him: "Son, you need to become an actor."
