Evgeny Tashkov received the title of People's Artist of Russia in 1995. But the actor and director won the love of the audience much earlier, as did popular recognition. Tashkov’s paintings were included in the “golden fund” of Russian cinema. Thanks to cooperation with Yevgeny Ivanovich, many aspiring actors gained popularity.
From the biography of Yevgeny Ivanovich Tashkov
The future actor, screenwriter and film director was born on December 18, 1926 in the village of Bykovo (now it is the Volgograd region). However, for some unknown reason, another date was entered in the birth certificate - January 1, 1927. It is generally accepted that this mistake became the reason that Eugene was not taken to the front.
Children's years of the future actor can not be called rosy. Life in the village was hard. Tashkov’s childhood was in lean years. On top of that, Eugene’s father was repressed.
Already in childhood, Eugene became interested in theater. He has repeatedly participated in the productions of the school drama circle. After much thought, Tashkov decided to study as an actor.
