Andrey Vladimirovich Panin May 28, 1962 - March 6, 2013
Cause of death
The death of Andrei Vladimirovich became one of the most controversial tragic events of 2013. Judge for yourself: according to the first official version, the cause of the artist’s death was large blood loss from supposedly “falling from his own height,” however, the Investigative Committee of Russia opened a criminal case under Article 111 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (Part 4) (causing serious harm to health resulting in death of the victim due to negligence). Forensic experts recognized that the cause of Panin’s death was numerous injuries to the body and head.

Actor Alexey Panin is currently on tour in the Krasnodar region. Suddenly, all his friends and acquaintances started calling the star and asking if he was okay. At first Alexey could not understand what caused such concern. It turned out that one Ukrainian Internet portal reported that Panin’s car flew into the oncoming lane at a speed of 160 kilometers per hour and collided with a truck, as a result of which the actor allegedly died.
The journalistic “canard” was instantly picked up by other publications, describing in detail the circumstances of the incident. The details of the artist’s fictitious “death” were depicted so colorfully that many actually believed it. “Panin was driving at high speed. The blow was so powerful that Alexei Panin had no chance to survive. The traffic police are currently on the scene. The truck driver was unharmed and received minor injuries,” the Ukrainian Internet portal published shocking information, citing personal sources in the traffic police.
Alexey Panin himself was seriously puzzled by reports from a number of publications that described his death in such detail. The artist hastened to speak out on this topic and assure the public that he is alive, healthy and full of strength.
“It seemed like it was fun at first, but now I’m somehow uneasy: the accident is described there in such detail. They even indicated the speed at which the truck allegedly crashed into my car. I don’t understand at all, who needs this?” — the actor commented on the situation.

It is noteworthy that this unpleasant situation did not upset Alexey at all. On the contrary, he hastened to joke on this topic in his characteristic manner. Taking advantage of the opportunity, the actor invited everyone who was concerned about his life and health to the play in which he was playing.
“I understand there are a lot of people who don’t like me. They were probably just happy to hear this “news.” But to all those who treat me decently, I want to say that I am alive! On April 14 I will have a performance in Sochi. It will just be “nine days”. As they say, I invite you to my “wake,” Alexey noted in a conversation with Komsomolskaya Pravda journalists.
Stars often become victims of unscrupulous journalists who spread false information about their possible death. For example, several months ago, reports appeared in a number of media outlets about the tragic death of singer Valeria. At the same time, the publications that disseminated this information used the same scenario - death as a result of an accident. The singer herself, as well as her husband Joseph Prigogine, then hastened to assure everyone that everything was fine with them and there was no car accident.
Death
This event came as a surprise to all relatives and friends, acquaintances and strangers. Director Gennady Rusin was the first to learn this terrible news. For a couple of days he could not get through to Panin. At first he did not attach any importance to this, because similar situations had already happened. Later, Rusin finally decided to go to that bachelor pad and visit his friend. What they saw in the apartment would shock everyone. Andrei was lying on the floor in a pool of blood.
Natalya Rogozhkina could not recover from such news for a long time. They really needed each other very much. Shock for the whole country. There are a couple of unofficial versions, one of the main ones is an accident. But neighbors say they heard screams that day. Investigators confirm this and say there is a traumatic brain injury and abrasions on the head. No signs of break-in or robbery were found in the apartment. A year later, the investigation was closed for lack of evidence of a crime.
Panin had the prerequisites to become a talented director, but never had time to fully realize himself. Only a couple of films were made.
After the death of Andrei Panin, in 2014, a museum dedicated to the great actor of our time was opened at the Kemerovo State Institute of Culture. There you can see his student photos, playbills, university archival documents, diploma, student ID and personal belongings.
The Department of Theater Arts is now named after actor Andrei Panin. The best of the best students can now receive the Red Clown Award every year.
Only one remained alive
The artist’s parents, Vladimir Alekseevich and Anna Georgievna, live in Bronnitsy near Moscow. Andrey moved them from Kemerovo to this two-story house on 15 acres when his parents retired. And he often came to visit them with his family - his wife Natasha and sons Sasha and Petya. He built a bathhouse there and made a swing for children. I loved grilling kebabs in a secluded place under a spreading pear tree.
— Andrey was very kind and caring. Wherever he was, he always called and asked how things were going. I came at the first opportunity. Now we have desolation here,” the actor’s dad sighs, showing his possessions. “Without my son, everything has lost its meaning.” My wife and I can’t live without it, but we survive - the white light is not nice.

In the Panins’ house, portraits of Andrei and clippings of his interviews from newspapers and magazines hang everywhere. Parents know these texts by heart, but still reread them almost every day.
“Anna Georgievna is now resting in the next room - let’s not wake her,” Vladimir Alekseevich whispered to me. — After Andryusha left, she lost a lot of control, I try not to disturb her again. We, of course, were very proud of our son, but we could not even imagine that he would grow into an artist. Although he was always funny - at school the teachers told him: “Panin, you need to become a clown!”

— Is that why he became an artist?
— No, after finishing school, Andrei went to the Food Institute to become a technologist. There he began to actively participate in amateur performances, but after the first year he was expelled. I went with the guys to the camp site and got involved in some kind of fight. They called the police, and they gave him 10 days. Previously, this matter was strictly dealt with - so they kicked me out of the institute. I didn’t recover - I decided to try myself as a director. He graduated and went to Moscow.
— Weren’t you afraid to let one go to the capital?
“I knew that Andrei would not disappear anywhere, but I always told him: “Study, and my mother and I will help as much as we can.” In addition, he did not go to Moscow alone, but with his first wife Tanya Frantsuzova and three best friends. Two of them are no longer alive, like our Andryusha...

- What happened to his wife Tatyana?
“Something didn’t work out for them,” Vladimir Alekseevich sighed, looking through his son’s black and white wedding photographs. — Tanya was our neighbor in Kemerovo; she and Andryusha knew each other since childhood. But her parents always opposed their relationship. Maybe they considered him unlucky and didn’t believe that he would be any good. I don’t know... In the end they moved to Moscow and gave birth to Nadenka. And then they separated anyway. The granddaughter is already an adult - she is 24 years old. He lives in America, but doesn’t keep in touch with us at all. After the divorce, Tanya hardly gave Nadya to us. Although we begged tearfully. Tatiana now lives in Prague. Almost immediately after the divorce from Andryusha, she got married and gave birth to a second child. When I found out about our grief, I immediately called. And after the funeral she came to visit. We cried together. But we still never saw our granddaughter.
PANIN...
Childhood and youth
The future actor with a unique talent was born on May 28, 1962 in Novosibirsk. His father Vladimir Alekseevich was a radio physicist, his mother Anna Georgievna was a school physics teacher. They graduated from Tomsk University together, getting married in their fourth year of study. Their roots were rural. His father was born in the working-class village of Kolpashevo, located on the banks of the Ob River, where his parents were exiled during the period of dispossession. Mother - on the Ryumino farm, in the Volgograd region. When their son turned two years old, the couple moved to Chelyabinsk, and four years later to Kemerovo. Soon they had a youngest daughter, Nina.
Andrey Panin as a child with his parents
Andrey studied at school No. 31, studied dancing, boxing, karate and dreamed of a helicopter school. But, having received a certificate, on the advice of his parents, the young man entered the local Technological Institute of the Food Industry. However, he did not become an engineer, since a year later he was expelled from the university for “immoral behavior” (read: fighting). Then he entered the Institute of Culture at the directing department.

During his studies, the young man participated in performances of the theater-studio “Vstrecha”, which worked at Kemerovo State University, where he also led a pantomime studio. In the production of “Sashka” based on the story by Vyacheslav Kondratyev, he then brilliantly played the role of a soldier who lost his arms and legs in the war. During the same period, he often visited Moscow: he sold sneakers and jeans at flea markets, tried three times to enter the Moscow Art Theater School, but was unsuccessful. The selection committee was not satisfied with his specific appearance and problems with diction.
Andrey Panin in his youth
After receiving higher education, Andrei served in the theater of the city of Minusinsk, but did not give up the thought of achieving success in the capital and thoroughly worked on his diction. His persistence yielded results: in 1986, on the fourth attempt, he became a student at the desired theater university. The extraordinary Siberian studied in the workshop of Alexander Kalyagin, earning an “excellent” rating from the master in acting. His graduation performance was “The Seagull,” where Yulia Menshova and Alexander Lazarev Jr. played with him.
Personal life
The first time Panin married a girl who lived next door to him in Kemerovo. Tanya Frantsuzova was very beautiful, an economist by profession, and did not belong to an ordinary family; her parents worked in the party elite. Tanya’s mother was categorically against her daughter’s relationship with Andrei, but the young people loved each other and insisted on the wedding.
Soon after the wedding, they went with friends on vacation to Jurmala, where they got into a terrible car accident. Tanya and Andrey were sitting in the back seat, so they remained alive, but he had a severe concussion, and she had fractures in both legs. For a long time Tatyana was treated by Dikul, her legs were straightened and her spine was stretched. She was afraid that she would not be able to give birth later, but she endured all the operations courageously, and after some time a daughter, Nadya, appeared in the Panin family.
However, when the girl entered first grade, Andrei and Tanya divorced. The main reason was the actor’s lack of money. As Panin’s mother-in-law said, she always wanted a more successful match for her daughter. Tatyana listened to her mother unquestioningly, which influenced their family relationship.
Andrei's second wife was actress Natalya Rogozhkina; she was his student at the Moscow Art Theater School, where Panin taught a master class. The couple had an age difference of fourteen years, despite this, the second marriage turned out to be happy for Andrei, he and Natasha had two sons - Alexander in 2001, Peter in 2008.
In 2000, Andrei moved his mother and father from Kemerovo closer to him so that he could visit them more often. Panin loved to visit his parents, and especially to eat his mother’s dishes. He called in advance and said that he was leaving. And mom rushed to the kitchen, twisting his favorite cutlets and mashing mashed potatoes.

The actor often played negative characters. But in his performance they acquired incredible charm, often overshadowing the main characters. Therefore, the media called him “the most charming scoundrel of Russian cinema.”
Having played his first significant film role already in adulthood (in the film “Mama, Don’t Cry,” he was 35), Andrei Vladimirovich became very much in demand in the profession and starred in 75 films over the next 20 years of his creative life. And all his heroes always had some kind of second bottom inside them. In terms of energy, skill and unpredictability, Karen Shakhnazarov compared him with the winner of three Oscar statuettes, Jack Nicholson, and Ivan Dykhovichny called Panin “the Russian Jean Gabin” for his “concentrated tragedy.”
