The famous artist left no bank accounts, no diamonds, no country villas. His main asset is rare books, paintings that he wrote himself, notes and memories of the films in which he starred. It turned out that in the ten years that have passed since the death of the great actor, part of his legacy went to a landfill or is simply being taken away by complete strangers!
... The Moscow authorities overhauled the façade of the skyscraper in Starokonyushenny Lane, but the commemorative plaque never appeared here. Only in the entrance hall, next to the mailboxes and scraps of advertising, hangs a large portrait of the actor. Next to the ads, fans will write kind words of love.
We go up to the 9th floor, to the apartment where Georgy Mikhailovich lived for 30 years. Seems like time has stopped here. Oil-painted walls, an old elevator, a thick layer of dust on the floor. The same door, upholstered in cheap leatherette, which crumbles in your hands from decay! The same ragged pieces of artificial leather, glued with adhesive tape: on the day of the death of the owner, his beloved dog Boy, feeling trouble, tore the already fragile upholstery to shreds. The newspaper "Life" wrote about this ten years ago, and nothing has changed here for a long time!
House
As the neighbors told us, Vitsin's apartment has been closed for ten years. The daughter of the artist Natalya started a major overhaul in her father's apartment, which has been going on for two years now. Now there are no floors or plumbing, all the walls have been peeled off, and the piano that Vitsin played is gathering dust in the corridor ...
Few people know that Georgy Vitsin was not only a great actor, but also a wonderful artist. He drew caricatures of actors, tried his hand at sculpture, graphics, and painting. Diaries and many letters remained in Vitsin's archive. After his death, they lay in an empty apartment, but they never made it to the museum. After the death of her father, Natalya wanted to make a monument to him according to her own project, but things didn’t go beyond words either - a modest marble tombstone still stands at the Vagankovsky cemetery, for which the Union of Cinematographers somehow scraped together money ...
Books and drawings of the great actor will soon end up in a landfill
“Yes, I help Vitsin’s daughter with repairs,” builder Vadim told Life. - The residents of this house have known me for a long time, so they recommend each other when they need to do something on the little things. When I first entered the Vitsin's apartment, of course, I was dumbfounded by devastation and chaos! Plumbing does not work, there are not curtains on the windows, but some kind of canvas rags. Only shelves with books and boxes with drawings and paintings were striking. There were so many of them that it was impossible to walk around the house normally! Yes, some of Vitsin's books and old films had to be immediately thrown into the trash. You understand that during the repair you have to clean the apartment from unnecessary junk! Expensive publications, however, Natalya, having collected in a separate pile, took her ex-husband to the dacha. She also took out an expensive antique cabinet somewhere. And I had to drag the piano up the stairwell. Do you want to take it for yourself? Imagine, Vitsin himself played on it!
In parting, the repairman presented the “fans” with several old books by Georgy Vitsin and two dozen drawings as a keepsake, arguing that no one needs the “trash” anyway and sooner or later it will have to be taken to the trash. It is clear that with such an approach to business, it is not surprising that Vitsin's rarities are no longer in the Mosfilm museum, but in the hands of private collectors, or even have long been irretrievably lost.
Daughter
Even those who knew her from birth can say a little about Vitsin's daughter. She leads a reclusive life. Georgy Mikhailovich managed to buy her a good kopeck piece not far from the Kremlin - on Bolshaya Nikitskaya. There she now lives with her common-law husband Alexei, rarely appearing in her father's apartment. Natalya Vitsina, the only daughter of a brilliant actor, never made children. Now she is already well over fifty, she carefully looked after her sick mother for several years. And when Tamara Fedorovna passed away, she withdrew into herself. Natalya Georgievna wanted to write a book about her great father, but for ten years these plans have remained just ghostly dreams.
“It's all so sad,” regrets the artist's neighbor on the landing, Galina Labkovskaya. - Of course, I remember Vitsin himself, and how his daughter was born from his wife Tamara. Natasha, of course, did not go to him. Since childhood, she has been very squeezed, frightened by something, all in herself, it is impossible to communicate with her! Georgy Mikhailovich noticed his daughter's unsociableness and enrolled her in acting classes.
- Vitsina seems to be painting some kind of picture. But neither she nor Alexey earn any money at all! - Nadezhda Markina, the senior at the entrance to Vitsin's house, told Life. “They make do with whatever God sends, the poverty there is terrible!” When we collect money for an intercom or some other household needs, it’s useless to knock on her door - she still refuses. I don’t know what is happening in her life now, but she always seemed to me very, very strange. Like out of this world...
Museum
Soon after the death of Vitsin, Natalya was offered to turn her parents' apartment into a museum, but she refused.
Natalya decided to make a major overhaul, rent out housing and receive at least some money for life. But things are still there ...
“Natalya is a very secretive person,” complains Nadezhda, the concierge at the house on Nikitskaya, where the actor’s daughter lives. - He will never say a word to anyone! True, she does not live alone, she has a common-law husband, Alexei. Natalya may not go outside for several days, and Alexei takes the dog out into the street. All the other owners with their pets walk for half an hour, and he - five minutes and run home.
We tried to talk with Natalya Vitsina herself, but she categorically refused to communicate.
“I'm not good at storytelling,” she said. “My dad didn't like talking about his personal life. And I don't like it either!
Georgy Vitsin is a famous theater and film actor, a Man with a capital letter. He is known and loved by everyone in our country. The personal life of George Vitsin is filled with amazing, touching stories, his long biography contains both joys and sorrows.
Biography
The work of the great actor, who is loved by millions of viewers, has become a classic of cinema. Today we will talk about the personal life and biography of George Vitsin.
The future famous actor was born in 1917 in the town with the poetic name Terioki. At least that's what the official data says. In fact, there is another version regarding the year of birth of the actor. It is known that Georgy's mother needed to send her son to one of the best health-improving forest schools, and the child did not fit in age - therefore, the mother changed the date on his birth certificate from 1917 to 1918.

For the first eight months, little Georgy lived with his mother and father in his native town, after which the whole family moved to Moscow. The capital gave a lot to Vitsin both in terms of cultural development and in terms of career.
His mother, Maria Matveevna, had a great influence on the life of George, who put all her strength into raising her only son. George's father died almost immediately after the war.
All his childhood, Vitsin was very modest and shy, but when a theater studio opened at the school where he studied, the boy did not doubt for a minute: "I want to become an actor." I had to forget about shyness.
Georgy Vitsin in childhoodActor career
After graduating from school, the artist tried his hand at the Maly Theater School, but was soon expelled "for a frivolous attitude to study." However, George Vitsin did not lose his determination to become a famous actor and connect his personal life and biography with cinema, even despite his unclear nationality - George's ancestors were French.
The following year, after the failure, Vitsin applied for admission to 3 theater studios at once - he was accepted into each with open arms. There was a difficult choice: where to go to study? The actor stopped at the prestigious Moscow Theater School named after E. Vakhtangov, but a year later he moved to the Moscow Art Theater-2 studio, which he graduated from.
Georgy Vitsin in his youth In 1936, Vitsin began his work in the theater-studio of N.P. Khmelev, to which he devoted almost his entire life - 33 years.
Film career
The career of the film actor Vitsin began in 1951, when the artist was invited to participate in the filming of the film "Ivan the Terrible". Although it was only an episodic role, but thanks to her, the actor was noticed and made the main character of the next film - "Belinsky".
Here Vitsin played Gogol, whom, according to many, he was very similar to. Therefore, the image of the great Russian writer stuck to the artist for a long time - in his life he had a chance to play Nikolai Vasilyevich three times. A natural and realistic game, similar facial features and a subtle understanding of the nature of the writer helped the actor to embody in this image.
Georgy Vitsin in the film "Belinsky" In makeup, Georgy Vitsin is the spitting image of Gogol, even children sometimes mistook the artist for a famous writer, although in his biography there were many other, most diverse characters, whose life and personal traits Vitsin was able to convey thanks to his game.
George became truly famous thanks to his comedic roles. The first comedy that brought him fame was called "Reserve Player", in which Vitsin played a young football player named Vesnushkin.
To get used to this role, the actor began to devote more time to sports, although he already looked much younger than his years: the director of the film did not know how old George was, thinking that he was no more than 25 - but in fact the actor was 37 at that time.
Georgy Vitsin in the movie "Reserve Player" The following roles also brought Vitsin fame and widespread love of the public:
- "She loves you!";
- "The Marriage of Balzaminov";
- "Dog Barbos and an unusual cross";
- "Moonshiners";
- "Operation" Y "and other adventures of Shurik";
- "Prisoner of the Caucasus or Shurik's New Adventures".
Each video in which the famous trio participated - Coward, Dunce and Experienced - became a masterpiece and aroused popular love.
Georgy Vitsin in the movie "Moonshiners" During his film career, Vitsin played a drunkard many times - and so reliably that the audience was sure that the actor would not mind drinking in ordinary life. Therefore, the popularly famous actor was often called to drain a mug or two together, which he always categorically refused. Why so? It turns out that Vitsin led a strictly healthy lifestyle, did not drink, did not smoke, and tried to avoid noisy companies. Because of this, there was even an incident during the filming of the film "Prisoner of the Caucasus".
There was a scene in the film during which Vitsin drinks a whole mug of beer in one gulp. In connection with his beliefs, the actor refused to drink an alcoholic drink and asked to replace it with rose hips.
However, after five takes, it became clear that it would not work to get out - there was no foam on Vitsin's "beer". The director of the film firmly said: drink beer, let it be the sixth mug. Vitsin had no choice but to obey.
Georgy Vitsin in the film "Prisoner of the Caucasus" Another interesting fact from the actor's film career: during the filming of the film "She Loves You!" Vitsin himself performed all the tricks with water skiing, refusing the help of a stuntman.
Another difficulty arose because of Balzaminov's Marriage. Vitsin refused the role for a long time because of his moral convictions: it seemed to the actor that he, a 48-year-old man, had no right to play a young 25-year-old guy. However, in the end, the artist nevertheless agreed and the piggy bank of his works was replenished with such a wonderful film.
Georgy Vitsin in the film "Balzaminov's Marriages" Personal life
In the personal life of Georgy Vitsin, there were bright love affairs and a faithful family life. In 1936, while working in the future Yermolova Theater, Vitsin fell in love with the wife of artistic director Nikolai Khmelev. Dina Topoleva was still a very young nineteen-year-old girl, while George was already an adult man of 35 years old.
However, this did not stop the young beauty, and she left her lawful husband. Vitsin and Topoleva lived together for 20 years, but the marriage was never registered. Despite the betrayal, Nikolai Khmelev forgave both his wife and her lover, and continued to give Vitsin roles.
Famous actor Georgy Vitsin George Vitsin met his official wife in the same theater, her name was Tamara Michurina. The woman worked in the theater as a props and was the niece of the famous breeder Michurin. Their acquaintance was very romantic.
On Easter, Georgy came to the props room to "Christen" and met Tamara there, they kissed three times and realized that this was fate. Interestingly, Tamara was much more magnificent in body than Vitsin - and the newly-made husband really liked it, because he was sure that a woman should be appetizing, with forms.
Georgy Vitsin with his wife Tamara Michurina Already married to Tamara, Vitsin did not forget his first love, and when Dina Topoleva was sick, he came to look after her, brought medicines and food. Tamara was not jealous of her Grisha, because she was sure of his sincerity and honesty.
Children have always been a significant part of the biography and personal life of George Vitsin, therefore the birth of his daughter Natasha, whose photo the actor always carried with him, was a great joy for him. Being already an adult, Natalya told reporters a lot about her father, with tenderness and gratitude she recalled the years spent with him.
Georgy Vitsin and daughter Natalia Death of George Vitsin
Georgy Vitsin died on October 21, 2001 due to chronic diseases of the heart and liver. Thousands of Muscovites, his relatives, friends, people, colleagues in the theater workshop came to say goodbye to the great artist. A photo of Georgy Vitsin in a mourning frame towered over the grieving people - the last point was put in the personal life and biography of the famous artist.

Georgy Mikhailovich Vitsin (nee Vitsyn). Born April 5, 1917 in Terioki - died October 22, 2001 in Moscow. Soviet and Russian theater and film actor. People's Artist of the USSR (1990).
Georgy Vitsin was born on April 5 (18), 1917 in Terioki (now Zelenogorsk as part of St. Petersburg).
In the church book of the Exaltation of the Cross Church on Bolshaya Posadskaya Street there is a record that George was baptized there.
In later official documents, the date of birth began to appear on April 23, 1918, and the place of birth was Petrograd. This happened due to the fact that Vitsin's mother in the 1920s, arranging her son in a health-improving forest school, made him “younger” and corrected the year of birth to 1918. April 23 (May 6) was his name day.
The original surname of the future actor also looked different - "Vitsyn", but later, due to a passport officer's mistake, the letter "s" was changed to "and".
When George was eight months old, his parents moved to Moscow.
In 1926-1933 he studied at the Moscow seven-year school No. 26.
In 1933-1934 he studied at the Theater School at the Maly Theater (now the Higher Theater School named after MS Shchepkin), from where he was expelled with the wording "for a frivolous attitude to the educational process."

The film debut of the actor took place, as was believed, in the episodic role of a guardsman in the film "Ivan the Terrible" by S. M. Eisenstein (1944). However, according to V. Zuckerman, who scrupulously collected all the facts of G. Vitsin's life, the actor somehow admitted to him that he "had never seen S. M. Eisenstein", and made his debut in 1945 in the film by S. I. Yutkevich Hello, Moscow!
Fame came to the actor after the film "Reserve Player", in which he played the role of Vasya Vesnushkin. Following this, he starred in the film "She Loves You!".

At the same time, he starred in historical tapes: Composer Glinka and Belinsky.

However, the most widely known actor brought the image of a Coward, embodied by him in comedies - "Dog Mongrel and an unusual cross-country", "Moonshiners", "Operation" Y "and Shurik's other adventures" and "Prisoner of the Caucasus, or Shurik's New Adventures".
It is worth noting that Vitsin often had to play drunkard characters, and in these roles he was very convincing, as he had a specific voice and appearance. Despite the fact that in real life the actor did not drink or smoke, he led a healthy lifestyle, was fond of breathing exercises of yogis. And only in the "Prisoner of the Caucasus" did the actor still have to drink real beer, since the dog rose, which G. Vitsin demanded, looked unconvincing in the frame.

Also remembered for his roles: adventurer Sam in the comedy "Business People" ("Leader of the Redskins"), Balzaminov in the film "Balzaminov's Marriage", Sir Andrew in "Twelfth Night", the Wizard in "The Old, Old Tale".

With the onset of the 1990s, G. Vitsin, together with other members of the famous trinity, began to tour the country a lot. Until his last days, he played in the Film Actor Theater. In recent years, he lived very modestly. Having given his large apartment in the center of Moscow to his daughter Natalya, he moved to the "Khrushchev" in Starokonyushenny Lane.
He extremely limited communication with outsiders, avoided meetings with journalists. He was almost constantly in the apartment, going outside only to feed the pigeons. He refused help, saying: “I can’t take it, because people give the last!”.
It is worth noting that George Vitsin looked very young until his advanced years. At thirty-seven, he played the eighteen-year-old Vasya Vesnushkin in the film "Reserve Player". At forty-six, twenty-five-year-old Misha Balzaminov ("Balzaminov's Marriage"). At the same time, his talent allowed him to play age roles: in particular, at the age of thirty-eight, the actor portrayed grandfather Musiy in the film “Maxim Perepelitsa”.
Georgy Vitsin died on October 22, 2001 (according to other sources - October 23) in a Moscow hospital. The cause of death of the actor was chronic diseases of the liver and heart. He was buried in Moscow, at the Vagankovsky cemetery.

He was in a relationship with actress Nadezhda (Dina) Topoleva, who was then the wife of director N.P. Khmelev. She was much older than him.

He passionately fell in love with Dina Topoleva, the wife of the artistic director of the theater Nikolai Khmelev, whom Vitsin considered his teacher. Dina responded to his feeling. Note that Khmelev did not change his attitude towards Vitsin and continued to give him roles.
They lived together for 20 years. After parting, he continued to take care of her, brought her medicines and food.
Dina Topoleva - civil wife of Georgy Vitsin
Wife - Tamara Fedorovna (1925-2009), dresser, niece of biologist and breeder I. V. Michurin.

Tamara Fedorovna - wife of Georgy Vitsin
Daughter Natalya spoke about Georgy Mikhailovich: “They made a hermit out of their father. This is absolutely not true! If girls called him and asked naive questions, he did not like to answer. But if, for example, Wulf was on the phone, he could talk for hours. As a child, I was even jealous father to his admirers. We walk down the street - everyone says hello. "Go home, girl," dad said and continued the conversation. By nature, dad was more suited to his first profession - an artist, sculptor, observing, contemplating. He painted everywhere - on trips, between performances, between filming hours. Mom sometimes suffered from the fact that you couldn’t talk seriously with him. Laughter from morning to night. Even in the most terrible situation, he knew how to relieve tension with wise humor. Dad was a responsible person. He supported us with mother, and first wife, actress Dina Topoleva".

Rain Man
Georgy Mikhailovich could not stand the heat. He preferred to be, as they say, always “buttoned up” - in a jacket, closed shoes, with an umbrella. But, unfortunately, most of his star filming takes place in the summer, and even in the south. But even the 30-degree heat could not change his dress code. And to the exclamations “Yes, you are crazy! In such heat! Vitsin calmly and dignifiedly answered: "Nature cannot be against me."
And indeed. The film crew even brought out a sign: if Vitsin arrives, the weather will definitely deteriorate, it will start to rain and storm. But if the sun is needed for filming, Georgy Mikhailovich did not resist nature. For their sake, in the thirty-degree heat, he was ready to spend the whole day.
At the end of his life, poor health again reminded Vitsin of himself. He was constantly sick. Or maybe this was the result of dissatisfaction with what was happening in the country in the 90s. The actor categorically did not like this time. He could not and did not want to adapt to him. Almost stopped filming. In the theater, he left himself only one role ...
The only thing that saved him was the duty that he placed on himself: "I must go feed the pigeons." Every day he got out of bed, took sacks of millet and went outside to feed the birds. The surrounding stray cats and dogs also got tasty pieces - Georgy Mikhailovich also could not pass by their troubles calmly. And so it turned out that by the time Vitsin left the house, all his pets were gathering near the entrance.
When the actor died in October 2001, cages with 12 pigeons were brought to his funeral. And when the coffin was taken out of the entrance, the birds were released. But one dove fell dead...
Mystery of youth
At 37, he plays the 18-year-old football player Vasya Vesnushkin in the movie "Reserve Player". At 48 - 20-year-old Misha Balzaminov. Of course, partly thanks to professional makeup. But still, Vitsin's "non-age phenomenon" is obvious.
How did he do it?
He was very fond of taking care of himself, - recalls Natalya Krachkovskaya. - Really practiced yoga. He drank herbal teas, he had a whole set of them. Carefully monitored health. And he did not allow himself any excesses.
Indeed, the artist did not drink, did not smoke. Although for the frame he could drag on a cigarette.
Actor Oleg ANOVRIEV:
He could drink his glass of vodka, but it looked ridiculous. "Gosh, have a drink!" You know how they persuade. Or when he wasn't feeling well. Then he allowed himself to drink. But he drank like this: he took a stack or a glass, did it like this (shows that he is gargling. - Approx. ed.) And set it. That was the drink for him. Some kind of disinfection...
A passion for yoga begins in childhood. The newborn Gosha was so weak and sickly that the doctors scared the parents: "Your son is unlikely to ever walk." Mom sent the boy to a forest school where they taught yoga. Over time, her passion grew for Georgy Mikhailovich into a philosophy of life.
There were even stories among the actors that Vitsin had disrupted filming more than once with his hobby. Georgy Mikhailovich himself launched these stupid rumors. When asked questions:
Do you really do yoga?
Scheduled?
Of course.
What if you're on set?
Well, if I'm still on the set, and it's time for me to do yoga, I just stop the process and say that I urgently need to stand on one leg and sit in the lotus position. The director, of course, tears his hair out, but there's nothing to be done - I have yoga.

Screenwriter Yakov Kostyukovsky says:
With me, this never happened, and without me, I'm sure it could not have happened. He was so tactful that he would never allow himself to disrupt the shooting.
He lived with his wife Tamara for more than half a century
A modest and inconspicuous person, whose credo was "Life must be lived quietly." A brilliant performer of unlucky and unfortunate characters - Coward, Mishenka Balzaminov, Pan Tsypa in "Tavern "13 Chairs", Khmyr in "Gentlemen of Fortune" ...
It is hard to imagine, but in life Georgy Mikhailovich possessed a truly magical charm, literally bewitching women. Moreover, the actor had this gift from his youth.
At the age of 18, Vitsin entered the Yermolova Theater. And immediately - as if heading into the abyss - he fell in love with actress Dina Topoleva. The feeling was strong, but hopeless. After all, Topoleva is not only much older than him, but also married. And behind the artistic director of the theater Nikolai Khmelev, whom Vitsin idolized and considered his teacher! Dina responded to his feelings, left her husband. And the most surprising thing is that Khmelev did not change his attitude towards Gosha, still considered him one of the best actors.
Vitsin and Topoleva lived in a civil marriage for almost 20 years.
And then 38-year-old George bewitched Tamara, the niece of the famous scientist Michurin.
For the first time she saw him in a portrait in the corridor of the theater when she came to get a job as a decorator. It seemed to be an unremarkable appearance. But the eyes! She remembered their look for a long time.
And soon their face-to-face meeting took place. Gosha looked into the prop shop to congratulate the girls on Easter. He jokingly kissed each on the cheek. From this meeting, the story of George and Tamara began. They have been married for over half a century.
But Gosha did not break off relations with Dina. Moreover, until her death, she remained a member of his family. Unthinkable? Only not for those who knew Georgy Mikhailovich!
Recalls A. Voinov, the daughter of a close friend of Vitsin, director Konstantin Voinov:
He built an absolutely amazing system of relationships. He wanted a child, there (in the family with Dina - Ed.) There was no child. Aunt Tamara's baby was born. The child is adored, he simply idolized his daughter Natasha.
But he managed to arrange so that Natasha was admitted to Aunt Dinin's house. He brought her there because he kind of had two families. Because he supported Aunt Dina all his life. And her, and her sister, with housekeepers, with a dacha for the summer ...
Vitsin could not leave Dina, she was older and needed custody.

Everyone's favorite Coward from the movie "Operation" Y "and other adventures of Shurik" Georgy Vitsin was born on April 23, 100 years ago. His creative abilities were inherited by his only daughter Natalya. She has worked as a graphic artist all her life, among her works are posters for the film “The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath!” and the painting "Unfinished Piece for Mechanical Piano".
Natalia is over 60, she is still sitting at the easel. Although this occupation has not brought her income for a long time. The actor's daughter lives on Bolshaya Nikitskaya in an apartment that her famous father gave her many years ago.
Vitsin's relatives also do not make contact. Her father was close to his cousin Valentin Ivanovich all his life. Now his grandchildren are unsuccessfully trying to improve relations with aunt Natalya Vitsina.
“We live in Vladimir, we lost contact with Natasha after the death of her mother,” Anastasia Kurnosova, wife of Semyon, the actor’s cousin, tells StarHit. - At first, her husband's mother maintained warm relations with her, constantly called up, but for many years Natasha could not be reached, the phone in her apartment was silent. The mother-in-law cannot go to Moscow - she is not young, and even my husband and I cannot afford to visit the capital, because our little daughter Masha, the great-great-granddaughter of Georgy Mikhailovich, is in our arms. When she grows up a little, we will show her our family's favorite film, where an eminent relative played the charming Coward. It's a shame that our connection ended so abruptly ... We feel sorry for Natalya: how is she alone there? We will be glad if she comes to visit, we are ready to help her with everything we can: with attention and money, if necessary.
Relatives from Vladimir are not the only ones who are worried about the fate of the Vitsin family. Fans of Georgy Mikhailovich’s work in his memory groups on VKontakte often discuss that there is still no monument on the actor’s grave at the Vagankovsky cemetery, instead of it there is a modest granite slab with dates of birth and death. As a sign of respect, users want to raise money for the installation of the monument, but Natalya Vitsina is unlikely to support this idea. The woman has repeatedly expressed that she herself will deal with the issue of a monument to her father, however, for 16 years now, the matter has been standing still.
StarHit contacted Natalya Georgievna, who, in turn, denies any connection with alleged relatives.
“The statements of some people from the Vladimir region that they are relatives of Georgy Vitsin, and that they have ever communicated with his family, are absolutely unreliable. These are impostors, they belong to that “well-known category” of people who are trying to prove their relationship with outstanding personalities and “stars,” the actor’s daughter assured.
