The 14-year-old granddaughter of Ivan Krasko is forced to work

Biography

Andrey Ivanovich Krasko is a native Petersburger. He appeared in Leningrad on August 10, 1957 in the family of student of the Leningrad Theater Institute Ivan Ivanovich Krasko (future People's Artist of Russia) and teacher Kira Vasilievna Petrova. Soon Andrei's parents separated. The boy stayed with his mother.

Andrey already knew as a child that he would be an actor, like his dad. The son constantly went on tour with Ivan Krasko and his Komissarzhevskaya Theater, where he was taken on the assembly team at his dad’s request. And yet, at different periods of his life, Andrei Krasko dreamed of being not only an artist, but also a doctor, an astronaut, and a driver. His dreams changed quite often. But after school, Krasko Jr. finally decided to become an artist.

Andrey Krasko in childhood and youth

Andrei’s acting biography was not at all simple, despite family ties. The first attempt to enter a theater university was unsuccessful. Andrey didn’t really prepare for the exams. Therefore, he worked in the theater for a year, assembling scenery for the stage. But the next year the guy was able to enter LGITMiK and studied in the workshop of Lev Dodin and Arkady Katsman.

Biography of Andrey Krasko

Andrei Krasko is one of the most talented and versatile actors in modern cinema. During his short but very bright life, this man managed to be remembered by many viewers. His works are forever included in the golden fund of Russian cinema. This means that the images he created will never be erased from memory.

Talented actor Andrei Krasko

Currently, the talented actor is no longer with us, however, perhaps that is why now is the time to remember him and talk about the fate of the great actor in a little more detail. After all, Andrei Krasko is a person with whom an important stage in Russian cinema will always be associated.

Theater and trials

After graduating from university in 1979, Andrei Krasko began working in the distant Tomsk Youth Theater. This happened thanks to an influential official - the first secretary of the Leningrad regional party committee, Romanov. Grigory Vasilyevich simply “gave” his colleague Egor Kuzmich Ligachev the course in which Andrei Krasko studied, timed to coincide with the opening of the Tomsk Youth Theater.

Andrey Krasko in the play “Cucaracha”

It should be noted that most of the “exiled” actors very quickly fled from the Tomsk Theater. But Andrei Krasko lasted two years. Moreover, in his memories of this period of his life, he spoke very warmly, saying that work in Tomsk became very educational for him and gave him remarkable professional training.

And yet Andrei Krasko returned to his hometown, since he did not have much prospects in the Tomsk wilderness. On the advice of his best friend, actor Andrei Urgant, Krasko entered the Leningrad Theater of the Lenin Komsomol. Gennady Mikhailovich Oporkov, the director of the theater, once gave Andrey the script for the play “Cucaracha” to read. Andrey was offered to play the main role in it. The actor played it quite well.

Young Andrei Krasko and Andrei Urgant

However, the work was his first and last, because Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs Churbanov arrived at the premiere in Lenkom with a commission of generals and colonels. In general, the performance was approved, but the image presented by Andrei Krasko aroused the indignation of the high commission. The local policeman, whom Krasko portrayed, was somehow “unregulated”: the top button was undone, his sleeves were rolled up, he was too cheerful.

On the second day after the performance, Andrey was given a summons, sending him to serve in the Arkhangelsk region. They tried to intercede for the actor; director Dinara Asanova was especially concerned, because he was involved in the drama “The Boys” as a teacher. But it was all in vain.

Andrey Krasko in the army

So, in 1982, Andrei Krasko went to serve in the Northern Polar District. While the artist was serving, Dinara Asanova and Gennady Oporkov passed away. When Andrei Krasko returned from service, no one was waiting for him. The actor had to look for another job, but the search was unsuccessful. So the artist ended up in the small town of Dimitrovgrad, in the provincial theater, in the courtyard of which, as Krasko joked, goats grazed.

At that time, Andrei managed to play in the film “Breakthrough,” but there was no breakthrough in his career after the release of the film. And then the time came in the country when they forgot about the theater for a long time. And things were no better in the film industry. Therefore, Andrei Krasko had to survive by working in a cooperative (sewed jackets and trousers), in a cemetery (made fences), and as a builder (engaged in European-quality renovations of apartments). The artist also worked as a driver. To do this, he collected some money from his fees, borrowed some money from his parents and friend Urgant, and bought a used car.

The beginning of the career of Andrey Krasko

It is quite remarkable that at an early age the future actor for a long time could not decide on his future profession. At first he wanted to become an astronaut, then a firefighter, and after that a miner. However, in the end, after much hesitation, he decided to choose the profession of an actor, since, according to him, it was on stage that he could be anyone.

He soon appeared before the examination committee of the Leningrad Theater Academy, but was not accepted the first time. For a whole year after that, Andrei Krasko worked at the Komissarzhevskaya Theater, where he served as a set assembler. However, such efforts were not in vain. The following summer, the actor went to LGITMiK again and this time successfully overcame the entrance exam barrier.

At the Academy of Theater Arts, Krasko studied at the studio of Arkady Katsman and Lev Dodin. The young actor made good progress, and therefore, after receiving his diploma in 1979, he was sent to the Tomsk Youth Theater, where he worked as an assigned worker for several years.

After the theater for young spectators, Andrei Ivanovich’s career included the Dimitrovgrad Theater, as well as the St. Petersburg theater “Comedian’s Shelter”. Around this period, the actor began to receive his first roles in films. So in the actor’s filmography the films “Personal Date”, “Useless”, “Where did Fomenko Disappear?” appeared, in which Andrei played small cameo roles.

Andrei Krasko's funeral came as a surprise - he was full of energy

In 1982, Krasko was drafted to serve in the Soviet army. In an air defense company based in the Arkhangelsk region, Andrei continued to actively participate in various performances, concerts and other events of a similar nature.

Movies

In the mid-90s, Krasko went to work as a driver at a film studio. So in 1996 he got into the comedy “Operation Happy New Year!”, playing in an episode.

Soon after this, Andrei learned that a new project would be filmed at the studio, promising to become popular - “Streets of Broken Lanterns.” Krasko admitted that he began to persistently ask for help. But the artist received only small episodic work.

Andrey Krasko and Mikhail Porechenkov

Andrei Krasko’s role in the TV series “National Security Agent” helped Andrei Krasko become popular. The film was released in 1999 and immediately attracted the attention of viewers. And although Andrei found himself somewhat in the shadow of the main character, played by Mikhail Porechenkov, Krasko’s finest hour had come.

After the release of “National Security Agent,” offers from directors followed immediately. Soon Andrei Krasko was already working on the set of the military drama “Blockpost” directed by A. Rogozhkin. This was followed by the film novel “Boldino Autumn”, in which Krasko’s son and father starred together.

Andrey Krasko with his father

In his last years, actor Andrei Krasko was very popular and famous. His roles in Lungin’s film “Oligarch” and the TV series “Lines of Fate” helped him finally establish himself as a new idol of the audience.

But the best work of actor Andrei Krasko was his role in the dramatic film “72 Meters”. Andrey wonderfully played the Janissary, the commander of the Slavyanka submarine. The artist managed to deeply feel and very subtly convey the character of his hero. The film “72 Meters” was deservedly named the best film of 2004.

In 2005, Krasko appeared in a series called “Death of an Empire.” He did an excellent job as counterintelligence officer Strelnikov, who uncovers conspiracies against the empire. Alexander Baluev, Sergei Makovetsky and Marat Basharov played on the court with him. The tape was doomed to success.

In the TV series “The Plot” and “The Enchanted Plot,” the artist’s comedic talent was remarkably demonstrated.

Krasko was afraid that his mistress would kill him

— My husband is terribly jealous of Andrey! - admits Karolina Fatyanova, the mother of the actor’s daughter

On August 10, Andrei KRASKO would have turned 57 years old. Eight years after the actor’s death, Express Newspaper found Karolina FATYANOVA, who was destined to give birth to his daughter Alisa. It turned out that the shadow of the “national security agent” still haunts her: all the men are jealous of Caroline even of her dead common-law husband.

We met in a cafe. Looking at the slender figure of Karolina Fatyanova, it is difficult to imagine that a mother of three children is sitting in front of you. After the death of Andrei Krasko, a lot changed in her life: she got married and moved to Barcelona. Their common daughter Alisa with Krasko is now 10 years old. The girl, although she goes to a Spanish school, knows everything about her father: on her social network page she posts films with his participation, rare recordings and photographs. “Acquiring the status of the wife of a famous actor did not seem important to me,” explains Fatyanova. - Andrey himself did not offer to formalize the relationship with me, because during our meetings he had another woman - Lena Tarasova. Andrei often said: “I can’t get married, Lena will kill me!” This was entirely believable, given that Tarasova had Cossack and Chechen blood in her blood. Another reason why Andrei was afraid of this woman was an incident from the past: in his youth, out of jealousy, a woman stabbed him in the chest with a knife, after which he experienced clinical death. Andrey, of course, lied to me, saying that the relationship with Tarasova was over. But it seems to me that during one period we, all three of his women, crossed paths.

-Who is the third? Do you mean Sveta Kuznetsova, who went with him to filming and was at his deathbed? - Yes. I found out about her by accident. My daughter Alisa and I came to the restaurant where Andrei was having lunch. We are sitting, and then the same Sveta Kuznetsova comes in: “Hello.” She handed over the money and left. I asked Andrey: “Who is this?” He didn’t fuss: “Well, you understand.” Then, when I saw Sveta’s interview, in which she said that Krasko wanted a daughter from her - he, they say, didn’t have one, I smiled quietly. — Did you see Elena after Krasko’s death? — Once we accidentally met Tarasova in a minibus: we sat opposite each other, but did not speak. They sat and smiled. And the last time Lena and I crossed paths was at the cemetery. I came up and said: “Sorry.” Lena reacted somehow incorrectly: “The relationship with Andrey will remain only ours.” I heard from mutual friends that Tarasova was admitted to a psychiatric hospital and died a year after Andrei’s death. I didn’t even want to talk to Sveta, who also came to the funeral. She behaved incorrectly: if she had followed Andrei, he would not have become addicted to alcohol and drugs. It’s strange, but at the funeral Lena and Sveta hugged like best friends, despite Lena’s jealous nature. Krasko was even embarrassed to drink in front of me. It was one thing in a restaurant, but at home he sneaked quietly to the refrigerator, where he stashed his stash: “I’m just a little bit.”

Father's daughter

- Why didn’t you give your daughter the surname Krasko? — It’s difficult to do this without registering a child. And Andrei kept wandering around the set and delaying the design. As a result, I registered my daughter in my name. When I gave birth, I gave an account: I have my own life, he has his own. But the thought of having an abortion had never crossed my mind before. It’s not the child’s fault that his mom and dad are not on friendly terms. When Andrei found out that a daughter would be born, he was delighted. He had two sons, but no daughters. Today, when Alice is 10 years old, it’s strange for me to read her birth certificate: her last name should be Krasko, but I “raked it in” for myself. Back in kindergarten, Aliska once signed a notebook: Krasko-Popova Alisa Andreevna-Vladimirovna. She constantly looks for information about her father on the computer. — Did Krasko influence you a lot? — We met when I was 22 years old. I was too harsh, freedom-loving, although I did not cheat on Andrey. I think that if a woman enters into a relationship with someone else, then she has no reason to stay with the same person. And he really influenced me in many ways. He often scolded: “Don’t smoke on an empty stomach!” At the same time, he smoked like a locomotive. In the morning I woke up in smoke. He reaches for a cigarette, so do I, and he slaps my hands, runs to the refrigerator and brings Actimel: “Now you can light it.” He also often repeated: “The hair on the comb needs to be cleaned.” Andrey played a radical role in the development of me as a person. He taught me to believe in myself and to say everything honestly.

— Krasko did not write a will. Is there anything left as a keepsake? — Silver ring with daisies. There was a chain - it broke, a bracelet - the lock broke. Andrey loved silver. We were walking along Arbat one day, and he bought me a bracelet and fastened it on my leg. “Perhaps there’s something else you’d like?” I chose two rings: one was lost, but this one with daisies remained.

- How did you break up? — We lived under the same roof for six months. On the day of the breakup, my friend’s boyfriend got killed, and I went to her to support her. Before that, Andrey got drunk in a restaurant, and I took him home. When I returned, he started saying something wrong, I jumped up and ran away. And two weeks later I realized that I was pregnant from him... We continued to call each other and remained family. She didn’t want to take revenge, and there was no crazy jealousy. After a while I can say: we parted on the right note.

The role of the vacuum cleaner

— After breaking up with Krasko, did you quickly get married? — Four years later, I got a job on television and married editor-in-chief Evgeniy Fatyanov. My husband and I decided to go to Spain. Zhenya was terribly jealous of Krasko. In all five years of our marriage, I have never watched a film with Andrei’s participation. Zhenya was against any publications about him. My husband once confessed to me: “I can’t go into the children’s room, because there is a joint photograph of Alice and Andrei.” I said: “This is the only thing she has left in memory of her father.” At first he treated Alice calmly, but then friction began. Alice always said: “Papa Andrey.” It got to the point that she, sensing Zhenya’s tension, stopped talking about Andrey. Of course, Zhenya was offended by this. Andrey was different. He was kind to my eldest son, whom I gave birth to at 18. Krasko had noble impulses: he could hire a nurse and teachers for his son.

- In the end, you broke up with your husband... - It was not customary for Zhenya and I to even talk to each other. They walked around offended and silent. One day I opened his LiveJournal and read: “I’m looking for housing and I can no longer call this woman my wife.” “Well, I’ll also look for an apartment,” I said in response. Our common son Sasha didn’t stop us either. Zhenya tried to talk to me after a while. It turns out that he was jealous of someone unknown to me. Either he made up this story or he didn't. Allegedly, he received an anonymous letter: “Your wife is cheating on you, details - for three thousand dollars.” But my husband never asked me about cheating. Three children, I am in a foreign country. Would I cheat on my husband if I studied Spanish in the first half of the day and took care of the children in the second? We haven’t officially divorced yet, but we don’t live together: my husband is in Spain, I’m here. For some reason, Zhenya does not consider it possible for himself to financially participate in my fate and the fate of our son. - So you're out of luck again? “Sometimes it seems to me that I play the role of a sewer man: I clean men for other women.” For them, I am not a femme fatale; men come to me - lost souls. I have noticed very often: I break up with a person, and things immediately go uphill for him. After our separation, Krasko was often photographed, and Fatyanov was appointed editor of the newspaper in Spain.

— When was the last time you visited Krasko’s grave? - A year ago. They erected a monument to Andrey, they give tours, and they talk about me. - Has Alice taken after her father? — In Spain she goes to school, speaks Catalan, and practices ballet. The teachers are delighted: she is the only one in the class who writes tests with a score of ten out of ten. They tried to transfer her to a higher class, but due to the language barrier they left her for now. — Do you know Krasko’s official wife, Miriam Alexandrovich? After all, Alice’s half-brother was born in this marriage... - She didn’t try to get in touch with me. I once congratulated Andrei’s son Ian on his birthday on VKontakte, but he did not respond. —Have you come to Moscow forever? - Don't know. I met another man, but it’s too early to guess where I will live. Neither the eldest son nor Alice want to live in Russia, because they are already accustomed to another country.

Personal life

The personal life of Andrei Krasko was very eventful. Women have always been a source of inspiration for the artist, but not always a source of happiness.

Andrei's first wife was his classmate Natalya Akimova. The young people got married while still students, but divorced very quickly. Natalya left Andrei for his friend Igor Sklyar, who temporarily lived in their house until he could find housing after arriving from Kursk. In his diaries, Krasko wrote that the betrayal of his beloved woman and friend brought him to a mental hospital.

Andrey Krasko and Natalya Akimova

In the eighties, Andrei Krasko married again. His wife was a Polish citizen who studied in Russia. In this marriage, Andrei had a son, Ivan. This marriage existed for quite a long time, but only on paper. The couple almost never lived together. Soon after the birth of their son, the wife left for her homeland, taking the boy with her.

Andrey Krasko and Svetlana Kuznetsova

In addition to two official marriages, the artist had many civil ones. In 1998, in a de facto marriage with actress Margarita Zvonareva, Krasko had a son, Kirill. And in 2003, a daughter, Alisa, was born from Karolina Popova.

For the last two years of his life, Andrei’s common-law wife Svetlana Kuznetsova was with him all the time.

Death

Andrei Krasko passed away suddenly, in the prime of his life, when his career was just beginning to take off. In 2006, the actor played his last role, but television viewers never saw it on screen. Andrei played the thief Fima in the serial film “Liquidation” by Sergei Ursulyak, but since there was too little footage at the time of the tragedy, the director decided to completely cut out the footage of Krasko from the film. In the final version of the series, the role of Fima was played by Sergei Makovetsky.

Andrey Krasko and Sergey Makovetsky as Fima

Andrei Krasko managed to work only two days of filming. On the night of July 4, 2006, while filming a film near Odessa, the actor suddenly felt ill. On the same day, Andrei Krasko died of heart failure.

Krasko’s characters always consumed a lot of strong drinks on camera, so the tabloids immediately suggested that the actor’s own addiction helped him play alcoholics so reliably, and that the real cause of Krasko’s death was alcohol. But both doctors and the actor’s relatives denied this information.

The funeral of the beloved artist took place on July 7, 2006. Krasko's grave is located at the Komarovskoye cemetery near St. Petersburg. Director Yuri Butusov dedicated the production of “Othello” at the Satyricon Theater to the memory of the actor.

Andrey Krasko's grave

Andrei Krasko left behind many characters that the audience remembers, but the actor’s relatives sold off the actor’s material inheritance quite quickly, the last to sell Andrei’s unfinished dacha. According to rumors, the father of the deceased sold his son’s property in order to support his new young wife. Ivan Krasko left all his property to his ex-wife and was forced to huddle with his new chosen one in the house of his grandchildren. The sale of the dacha was a joint decision of several generations of Krasko - with the help of the proceeds, Andrei’s children and his father hope to solve their housing problems.

The amount earned did not bring discord into the family; according to Ivan Krasko, he and his two grandchildren peacefully divided the money among three.
