The list of bright and characteristic actors of the Soviet period contains the name of Nikolai Nikolayevich Rybnikov. The images that he created on the screen to this day evoke the respect and love of older viewers.
Starting conditions
The fate of the People's Artist of Russia Nikolai Rybnikov was difficult. The boy was born on December 13, 1930. Parents at that time lived in the small town of Borisoglebsk. My father worked at a repair factory, and in his free time he played in amateur productions on the stage of a local theater. Mother was engaged in housekeeping and raising two sons. Nikolai had a younger brother. When the war began, the head of the family was drafted into the army. Mother and her children moved to Stalingrad with their relatives.
Bad news came from the front. The Rybnikovs received a letter informing them that their father died the death of the brave in battles with the enemy. After a short period of time, her mother fell ill and died. At 12, Nikolai remained an orphan. By some miracle, he survived and after the war ended he returned to the ruined Stalingrad. The young man was accepted as a laborer in the city drama theater. To get a sought after profession, Rybnikov entered the medical institute. But after two years of study, he realized that medicine was completely alien to him. After some doubts, he went to Moscow, and passed the exams at the famous VGIK. He was accepted into his workshop by Sergey Gerasimov and Tamara Makarova.
Professional activity
Nikolai studied easily at the institute. All tasks in educational performances performed brilliantly. He played his first major role in the movie "Team from Our Street". The picture, as they say, did not go, but the beginning actor was noticed by the directors. Then there was the shooting of the film "Alien Relatives" and "Anxious Youth." The role played in the film "Spring on the Zarechnaya Street" brought true fame to Nikolai. Rybnikov convincingly and organically embodied in the image of a steelworker who fell in love with his teacher. In addition to this, Nikolai sincerely performed a romantic song, with the words: "When spring comes, I don’t know."
Then there was the shooting of the film "Height". And again Rybnikov sang that "we are not stokers, we are not carpenters." This song instantly became a hit. A special place in Rybnikov’s creative biography is occupied by the film “Girls”. According to experts, this picture has collected almost forty million views. She was included in the list of cult comedies of the Soviet Union. The actor himself was restrained to this work. In the future, such vivid films he did not participate. This is not to say that Rybnikov was left without work. It's just that the films came out of medium quality - the drama "Hockey Players", the epic "War and Peace", the comedy "Seventh Heaven."
