They say about him that you can make a movie about his life - Vladimir Zamansky survived so many extraordinary things
He was born in the last century - in 1926, in Kremenchug. When the Great Patriotic War began, my mother died, and the 17-year-old Volodya was left alone. He did not seek an easy life, but went to the front as a volunteer. At the same time, he had to deceive the commission in order to increase his age. He fought until the end of the war, was wounded, pulled his comrades out of hell, survived a lot. And he was awarded the Order of the Patriotic War II degree, as well as the Order "For Courage". This award was awarded to fighters who showed personal courage in battle.
After the war, Vladimir Petrovich remained in the army, where an unpleasant story happened to him: he was convicted of participating in the beating of the commander, having been sentenced to 9 years in camps. As part of the construction team, Zamansky built high-rise buildings, including Moscow State University. For work in a dangerous area, the term was reduced to 5 years, and in 1954 he was released.
Colleagues later said that the camp did not leave a single imprint on Zamansky - he remained an intellectual and a humanist to the marrow of bones even after such a test.
Way to the cinema
Can you imagine that a person immediately goes from prison to study at the Moscow Art Theater School? And Zamansky has gone! After graduation, a career in two theaters, then an entreprise, then a lot of films. The debut happened in 1960 with the film "Skating rink and violin" by Tarkovsky. The actor was immediately noticed, and the roles came to him very easily.
In total, for his long cinematic biography, Zamansky played in 80 films, but the starring role came to him with the film "Check on the roads." For the role of policeman Lazarev, he received the State Prize. And later, as a recognition of his contribution to Soviet cinema - the title of People's Artist (1988).
One list of paintings in which Zamansky had a chance to play makes up a whole list. Here are the dramas “Here is our home” and “Mushroom rain”, the war films “Tomorrow was the war” and “Day of the division commander”, the epoch-making picture “The Eternal Call” and others. And each of his roles is bright and unforgettable.
During this period, Vladimir Zamansky managed to play in the theater, act in films and perform films. He almost disappeared for days in the studio, or on the set, or in the theater.
Even in the late 80s, when Zamansky was in his sixties, he played quite often: for example, the short film “Mr. Runaway” and the drama “The Ship” are very interesting works. The filmography of the famous actor ends with the films "Botanical Garden" and "One Hundred Days Before Order." And in 2004, he successfully acted as a TV presenter in one of the programs of the cycle "Earth and Heaven."
