11 years ago, on May 20, 2009, the famous actor, People's Artist of the USSR Oleg Yankovsky passed away. He was the most famous member of the family, which included many outstanding artists. Why the heirs of a noble family with Polish and Belarusian roots chose the acting profession, and how their fates developed - further in the review.
The Yankovskys did not talk about the noble roots of their family before - during the Soviet era they had to keep silent about some episodes of their biography. For example, that Marina Ivanovna, the mother of Oleg, Rostislav and Nikolai, had a father as a white general. And their father Yan Yankovsky was born in Warsaw, and his family estate was near Vitebsk. During the First World War, he served with the rank of staff captain in the Semyonovsky Life Guards Regiment, and after the revolution - in the Red Army under the command of his former colleague Tukhachevsky, and close acquaintance with the disgraced marshal led to the fact that in the 1930s. he was arrested twice, and his family was exiled to Dzhezkazgan of the Kazakh SSR, where Oleg Yankovsky was born. They were forced to destroy all family archives and documents connecting them with their past life. Not even the Order of St. George was left, which the head of the family was awarded during the First World War.
Rostislav Yankovsky
The eldest son in the family of Jan (Ivan) Yankovsky and Marina Ivanovna was Rostislav, who was born in 1930. He became the first in the family who chose the acting profession, but believed that the talent was passed on to him and his brothers from his father: "".
While still at school, Rostislav became interested in theater and began to study in an amateur art circle, but at first he did not think about it as a professional activity. He got a job as a dispatcher at a motor depot in Leninabad, where the family lived then, and continued to participate in amateur performances at the Palace of Culture. There he was once noticed by the head of the local theater and invited him to join the troupe. Rostislav studied in a studio at the theater and performed on stage.
In 1957, Rostislav Yankovsky, together with his wife and son, moved to Minsk, where he was admitted to the State Russian Drama Theater of the Byelorussian SSR. M. Gorky, on whose stage he performed until the end of his days. A year after moving to Minsk, at the age of 28, Rostislav made his film debut and since then has played more than 60 roles. He was repeatedly invited to Leningrad and Moscow, but he decided to stay in Belarus. In 2016, he passed away at the age of 86.
Igor and Vladimir Yankovsky
Rostislav Yankovsky had two sons - Igor and Vladimir, who both followed in his footsteps and became actors. The eldest son went to study in Moscow, graduated from the Shchukin School and was accepted into the troupe of the Theater on Malaya Bronnaya. At the age of 22, Igor made his film debut and was filmed until 1992, and then due to the crisis he was forced to pause in his acting career. He worked in the advertising business and became President of the Moscow International Advertising Festival. In the late 1990s. Igor Yankovsky returned to the cinema and played several more roles.
The younger brother Vladimir did not leave Minsk, and his name was less known to the general public. He graduated from the acting department of the Belarusian State Theater and Art Institute, worked as an animator at the Belarusfilm studio, performed with his father on the stage of the Russian Drama Theater, and acted very little in films. In the 1990s. Vladimir also left the profession and took up directing, shooting commercials and video clips. In the early 2000s.he has released several TV series.
Oleg Yankovsky
The most famous representative of the acting dynasty, Oleg Yankovsky, chose this profession thanks to his brothers. When he was 14 years old, his elder brother Rostislav took him to his place in Minsk, where he first appeared on the stage of the theater in a cameo role. But he was not going to become an actor - having returned to his mother in Saratov, he wanted to enter a medical institute.
It was Rostislav who first drew attention to his acting talent and convinced him to apply to the Saratov Theater School. According to a family legend, when he came to learn about the admission rules, he saw his name in the lists of applicants. In fact, by this time, the middle brother Nikolai managed to pass the exams, but he hid this fact and gave up his place to Oleg. According to another version, they both entered, but with a difference of 3 years. Nikolai went to the army and did not become an actor, although he worked in the theater in an administrative position.
Perhaps Oleg Yankovsky would never have become a movie star if Vladimir Basov had not seen him once on a tour of the Saratov Theater, who invited him to the shooting of his film "Shield and Sword". And after that Yankovsky was accepted into the troupe of "Lenkom". Since then, his acting career has taken off, he has played about 100 movie roles. Unfortunately, in 2009 his life was cut short. The younger brother left before Rostislav and Nikolai.
Philip Yankovsky
The only son of Oleg Yankovsky followed in his footsteps. He was 4 years old when his family moved from Saratov to Moscow. For the first time on the set, he was only 5 years old - he starred with his father at Tarkovsky himself. Already at the age of 14, Philip decided that he wanted to stand on the other side of the camera. He graduated from the Moscow Art Theater School, and then - the directing department of VGIK. Later, Philip Yankovsky said: "".
Since 1996, Philip has started working in advertising and show business, he has directed more than 40 music videos and 4 feature films. His most famous directorial works were the films "On the Move" and "State Councilor". In addition, he acts in films and as an actor. The name of his wife, actress Oksana Fandera, is also well known to the audience.
Ivan Yankovsky
In 1990, a son, Ivan, was born to Philip Yankovsky and Oksana Fandera. Probably, his path was predetermined from the moment he was born. In 2013, Ivan graduated from RATI-GITIS and became an actor in the Studio of Theater Arts. At the age of 10, he first played in a movie and since then has starred in 18 films.
Today Ivan says: "".
It still remains a mystery to many. Unknown Oleg Yankovsky: an actor in the memories of friends, relatives, colleagues.
