Starting conditions
Siberian open spaces and severe climatic conditions impose stringent requirements on people. It is difficult to survive here weak and indecisive. Mikhail Evdokimov was born on December 6, 1957. Parents at that time lived in Kuzbass. My father worked at one of the metallurgical plants. Mother worked at the mine, gave lamps to miners during the descent into the face. Misha was the middle child in the family. In addition to him, three brothers and three sisters grew up in the house. A year later, the family moved to the village of Verkhne Ob in Altai.
This is the place Evdokimov always called his homeland. From here, after school, he went to enter the Barnaul cultural enlightenment school. After completing his studies, he was immediately drafted into the army. Returning home, Mikhail worked for almost a year as the artistic director of a local culture house in his native village. Then he entered the Novosibirsk Trade Institute. Within the walls of this educational institution, the boy realized that his vocation was not a trading floor, but a stage. Evdokimov for several years was the leader of the student team of KVN. After graduating, Mikhail went to Moscow and got a competition at the city philharmonic. He was accepted as a conversational artist.
In the cinema and on the stage
The first television appearance took place in the spring of 1984. Evdokimov was invited to the program "Spark", where he read his first monologue. After a short period of time he began to be invited to the program "Around the Laughter" and other specialized programs. Mikhail brilliantly performed humorous and satirical short stories. A colorful and witty actor began to be invited to film. For several years, he managed to star in a dozen films. The most popular paintings were "I do not want to get married, " "About businessman Thomas." At the same time, Michael recorded his songs. Solo disks called "We Must Live", "Countrymen" dispersed in large editions.
Throughout his conscious life, Mikhail Evdokimov showed interest in political activity. Back in the 90s, he tried to become a State Duma deputy from the Altai capital. But the attempt was unsuccessful. But in 2005, the artist won the election of the head of the Altai Territory. Evdokimov became the governor, positioning himself as a "man of the people." However, this was not enough for a political career. Mikhail Sergeevich worked as a governor for a little over a year. During this time, scandals regularly flared up in the local elite. It got to the point that in May 2005 the Regional Council passed a vote of no confidence in the governor. But the president of the Russian Federation did not intervene in this conflict. The tragedy happened already in August - Mikhail Evdokimov died in a car accident.
