Actor Vladimir Litvinov - filmography, personal life, children

Biography

Vladimir Litvinov was born on March 15, 1951 in the city of St. Petersburg, where he spent his entire childhood. He was a very late and only child in the family, since his mother was 46 years old at the time of her son’s birth. His father was in his sixties, so soon after his death, the burden of raising his son fell entirely on his mother. Often the boy was left alone with himself due to the fact that his mother had to earn a living. Vladimir loved to read adventure detective stories and dreamed of becoming just like the heroes of Jack London's books. A photo of Vladimir Litvinov can be seen in this article.

The creative life of an actor

After graduating from school, Vladimir went to study at the Polytechnic Institute, but after the first year he was drafted into the army. Paying his debt to his homeland in the north of Russia, Litvinov completely changed his worldview and decided that he had chosen the completely wrong profession, so after his service he went to study at the Leningrad State Institute of Theater, Music and Cinematography. After university, having studied dramatic art at the acting department, the future famous artist tried himself in several Leningrad theaters. But, disappointed, he quits the stage and goes to work, traveling to different parts of the country with a construction crew. Returning to St. Petersburg, Vladimir Litvinov again tries himself on stage to no avail.

Personal life of celebrities.

The famous actor Vladimir Litvinov often tested his luck. On the set of the film “Paid for Everything” he almost died. Filming took place in Afghanistan, filming the war. During an unsuccessful take, a fifteen-centimeter antenna probe of an armored personnel carrier pierced the actor. The actor underwent several difficult operations, and, taking all his courage into his fist, he was able to continue filming, despite the terrible pain. After this incident, viewers began to actively follow the personal life of Vladimir Litvinov.

The actor was thrice twice. It was not possible to maintain a good relationship with his first wife. According to rumors, she accused him of cheating. After the divorce, the woman did not allow the actor to visit his daughter. Vladimir was having a hard time breaking up with his wife and tried to resolve the conflict, but the woman did not give up. The actor abandoned filming many times and came to his family in Tallinn in the hope of seeing his daughter, but the woman was categorically against it. Only eighteen years later Vladimir met Anna. He was amazed by the beauty of the girl. Anna now lives with her family in Thailand. She is an artist by profession. Her paintings are in great demand. Vladimir has still not been able to find a common language with his ex-wife. The woman was so upset about the breakup that she was unable to get married a second time. From his second marriage, the actor had a son, Arseny. Now the young man is a little over twenty years old. Vladimir was very happy when his son decided to follow in his father’s footsteps and entered the theater institute. But after some time, the young man began to skip school, and Vladimir advised Arseny to choose something else, since acting was not in his heart. Now Vladimir very much regrets that he then suggested that his son leave the profession. The young man is very emotional and artistic. A few years after this decision, Vladimir invited his son to return to the profession, but Arseny refused.

Vladimir Litvinov with his family

Not long ago, the actor gave birth to his second daughter, Aksinya. All the attention that the first two children lacked goes entirely to the youngest. Aksinya is a real daddy's girl. As the actor himself admits, he is now at an age when he can devote much more time and attention to children. Vladimir himself was a late child in the family. His mother was forty-five, and his father fifty years old. The actor believes that at this age you begin to look at life and family in a new way. Vladimir did not dream of a career as an actor since childhood. There were no representatives of creative professions in his family, so the future theater and film actor went to study at the Polytechnic Institute. After the army, the young man realized that he wanted to devote his life to a more humanitarian profession. It was then that he decided to enroll in the acting department. During his studies, he tried to play several roles on the theater stage, and it was then that the actor realized that this profession was really his.

Many years after graduation, the actor remembers that time with a smile. He truly believes that he has found his calling in life. The actor happily tells reporters about his wives and children; the personal life of Vladimir Litvinov always remains an open book for his fans.

Actor roles in films

Seeing in Litvinov all the correctness of his behavior and character, the directors mainly invited him to play positive roles: military men, doctors, workers. In 1985, the actor appeared before television viewers in a new image, playing a boyfriend and representative of the younger generation in the lyrical comedy “Have you called the Snow Maiden?” directed by Valentin Morozov. By a happy coincidence, in 1988, actor Vladimir Litvinov was invited to the casting of the film “Paid for Everything” directed by Alexei Saltykov, where he received the main role instead of a cameo role. The film is one of the first to talk about the war in Afghanistan. During filming, Litvinov is seriously injured when he runs into the antenna of an armored personnel carrier, and only after several operations he returns to life, finishing filming while still in serious condition.

After successful work in the film, the artist began to be invited to new leading roles. Other films with the actor’s participation also appeared on the screens - the film “Don’t Forget to Look Back” directed by Alexander Voropaev. This picture tells about the revival of an old village. In it, Litvinov plays the role of the chairman of the collective farm. The actor also starred in the historical film about love directed by Valery Kharchenko, “Return the Past.” Vladimir Litvinov played the role of professional revolutionary Meshcheryakov in the film.

Further career as an actor

1989 showed us the actor in the domestic drama directed by Alisher Khamdamov “The Harem of Stepan Guslyakov,” about a village family where a terminally ill wife leaves her husband with the burden of raising three small children, as well as taking care of the household and household. The melodrama “I Want to Make a Confession” about the post-war period, directed by Oleg Biym, presented Litvinov in the image of a city dweller who moved to live in the village. The actor received popular love by starring in 1991 in films directed by Alexander Ivanov: the male detective “Bodyguard” and “Gold of the Party.” In these interconnected films, Vladimir played the role of KGB officer Pavel Selikhov, who served 6 years in prison in the 70s. These films became the blockbusters of the 90s. Later, the actor starred in foreign films: the Italian crime film “Mission”, the Japanese detective film “The Receiver”. Litvinov also took part in the costume films “The Emperor’s Romance” and “St. Petersburg Mysteries.”

The actor's appearance in TV series and films

In 1998, Vladimir Litvinov appeared in the TV series “Streets of Broken Lanterns”, playing the main role of Valery Zverev. Also in the 90s, several more films were shot with the actor’s participation: the crime thriller about billiards “Classic” directed by Georgy Shengelia, the detective story “Code of Dishonor” directed by Vsevolod Shilovsky about actions in government bodies during the collapse of the Soviet Union and a historical film directed by Alexei Saltykov "Thunderstorm over Russia." In parallel with filming, the already famous actor begins to make interesting commercials and documentaries himself.

At the beginning of the 21st century, a new stage in the development of his creative activity began in Litvinov’s life. He appears in various projects on television and in episodic roles in the series: “Gangster Petersburg”, “Code of Honor”, “Turkish March”, “Russian Special Forces”. Viewers also remembered Vladimir’s participation in the melodrama “Two Fates”, the adventure series “Secret Guard”, the military drama “Hunting the Werewolf”, the adventurous comedy “Prince of Siberia” and the biographical drama about the famous hockey player Vyacheslav Fetisov “Glory”. And this is not the entire list of the actor’s creative achievements. Currently, Litvinov continues to star in new TV series (the serial film “Molodezhka”, the detective series “The One Who Doesn’t Sleep”) and delight the viewer with his new roles.

The star of “Gangster Petersburg” Vladimir Litvinov spoke about the death of his son and late fatherhood

Vladimir Litvinov

viewers remembered him for his roles in the TV series “Gangster Petersburg”, “Two Fates”, “Prince of Siberia”. In the studio of Boris Korchevnikov’s program “The Fate of a Man,” the 67-year-old actor spoke about his difficult personal life and the grief he experienced.

In their first marriage, Vladimir and his wife Natalya had twins - Anna and Alexey. A few years later the couple divorced. Natalia left with the children for Tallinn. One day the actor received terrible news:

“My son died. I was on tour in Baku, returning home and was in a great mood when I suddenly learned about the tragedy. It was a car accident. He was 11. He was running across the road. At that time we had already parted with Natalya. But I dealt with all these sad issues. My ex-wife and daughter accepted me. It was our common grief,” Vladimir recalled.

Alexey died when Litvinov was married for the second time. His wife was very jealous of his first family: “She was a doctor. A very bright person with leadership principles. We spent some pretty emotional years together. Her name was Alla Borisovna, she was jealous of this situation, she was afraid that I might return...

Then, at some point, I myself realized that our story was not viable,” added the actor, saying that he divorced his second wife after five years of marriage, remaining friends.

Having lost her son, Natalya completely broke off relations with Vladimir and forbade him to see Anna: “I still feel guilty that I did not communicate with my daughter. The ex-wife didn’t impose herself, and I wasn’t too eager,” the artist admitted. Now Anna is a successful artist, she is raising two children - Frank and Ferdinand.

Vladimir Litvinov found his happiness only on the third attempt. The actor met economist Elena on the bus. The third wife is 19 years younger than Litvinov, but this difference did not become an obstacle to their marriage. Vladimir and Elena have been happy together for 29 years.

In 1992, the couple had a son, Arseny, and in 2009, a daughter, Aksinya, was born. Litvinov is glad that he was able to become a father again at the age of 58:

“Our boy is difficult, very emotional, sometimes he gets carried away. Aksinya is our meaning, our consolation, our tension in a certain sense, because we need to grow her. I was almost 60 years old when she was born.” Vladimir added that he misses Anna: “I really want to meet and get to know her. Because we don’t know each other... I dream of sitting down with her at the same table, pouring some wine and just talking.”

Personal life of Vladimir Litvinov

Litvinov was married three times. With the first wife, as a result of an early marriage and because of the wife’s jealousy of her husband’s work, the relationship did not work out from the very beginning. After the breakup, Vladimir’s ex-wife actively prevented the actor from meeting with their common daughter Anna. Litvinov’s marriage with his second wife also ended unsuccessfully due to the actor’s reluctance to leave the country. The third marriage turned out to be the happiest for Vladimir. His wife Elena, who is 19 years younger than Litvinov, gave him a son, Arseny, in 1992 and a daughter, Aksinya, in 2009. At his age, Vladimir Litvinov leads a fairly active lifestyle, going for a mandatory daily jog in the morning, and also looks much younger than his age.
