Boris Sichkin sang a huge number of verses in his life, but two lines brought him real popularity: “I am a citizen of Odessa! I'm from Odessa! Hello!.. "These verses were sung in the film" The Elusive Avengers "by his hero - Buba Kastorsky. After this film, many decided that Sichkin himself was from Odessa, but in fact he was born and raised in Kiev. However, in his life there were many interesting and even incredible cases.
First fees
The first spectators of Boris Sichkin were Kiev criminals. Next to the house where the future artist lived as a child, there was a bazaar. In the evenings, burglars, pickpockets and young ladies gathered there. For them, Boris danced the "apple", beat the tap dance, performed the lady and gypsy dances. Later he sang verses. It was from the criminals that he received his first fee - he was given food.
You will cry
After the role of the coupletist Buba Kastorsky in the film "The Elusive Avengers", Boris Sichkin began touring with performances throughout the country. And in the Ministry of Culture, just at that time, a campaign against the "left" concerts began, and compromising evidence was taken against Sichkin. The actor was summoned to the OBKhSS, shown the documentation of serious financial violations and put in the bullpen. The head of the bullpen turned out to be a man, to put it mildly, unpleasant. He mocked the famous actor in every possible way in front of his subordinates: “How did you sing there? "I don't cry, I never cry?" You didn’t cry in the movies, but we’ll still have it here!”
Lenin is with us
After his release in prison, Boris Sichkin recalled: “All of us, prisoners of the Tambov prison, were inspired by one small, quiet joy: when we walked through gloomy corridors for interrogations, we always saw a banner on the wall“Lenin is with us!”.
Blackmail
In 1979, Boris Sichkin emigrated to the United States, and his mother-in-law remained in Moscow to change an apartment. But the chairman of the JK did not give his consent to the exchange in any way. It lasted long enough, and when Sichkin got tired of this situation completely, he sent a telegram from America to the intractable chairman with something like this: “I have fulfilled your order, arranged everything. Tell me where to transfer the cash owed to you. Your Boris.
After that, the chairman was simply dragged into the KGB for interrogations - what is this business and what kind of money? They checked for a long time, but still they let me go. And here again a telegram from America. The time was not easy, and the chairman gave up - he discharged Sichkin's mother-in-law from the cooperative apartment and allowed the exchange.
Especially for movie fans, we have collected 15 rare photographs from the filming of films that have become the golden fund of Russian cinema … There are some really rare frames among these pictures.

40 years ago, in 1979, director Igor Maslennikov completed work on the first series of screen versions of selected works by Arthur Conan Doyle about Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.

The fantastic house of the merchant Ryabushinsky: the mansion in which the writer Gorky was almost forcibly settled
This house on Malaya Nikitskaya Street in Moscow is very original on the outside, but even more extravagant on the inside. I can't even believe that it was created a hundred years ago. It is even more curious that in such a strange building once lived the writer Maxim Gorky, who loved simplicity in everything and certainly did not differ in his love of modernist experiments. However, the writer did not choose such a house for himself: one day he was simply presented with a fact
