Successful Moscow actor Vadim Dorofeev died in battles in Syria on the side of the Islamic State, NTV reports.

A young, talented and, according to directors, very promising actor Vadim Dorofeev, a few months ago, leaving his wife and small children, went to the border of Syria and Iraq, explaining his decision simply: “It is the will of Allah.”

Vadim Dorofeev's acting career in big cinema began with one of the main roles for Bodrov Sr. Then there were several popular TV series and participation in high-rated talk shows.

In the spring of 2014, in an interview, the actor complained that they were not shooting with real cartridges, and then said that he was planning a “small project.” What kind of “project” it was, the actor’s family and friends understood only a few months later.

Now, when the entire theater community in Moscow has already heard something about Vadim, everyone - from classmates to GITIS teachers - is silent. And only from the desperate letter from his wife Alena can one guess what really happened to the actor: “My husband got involved with very bad people. Until now, he has been trying to persuade me to convert to Islam and take my children to Syria. But his goal was to fight for God.”

“He blackmailed me when I was nine months pregnant: if you don’t accept Islam with me, I won’t communicate with you at all,” she says.

Alena says that it all started spontaneously. At first, it was as if one of her husband’s longtime friends had been replaced. Then a man from the Caucasus with combat experience appeared in Vadim’s company. And on Christmas 2014, according to Alena, Vadim and another popular Russian actor from close friends converted to Islam as interpreted by radical brothers. On the evening of September 16, Dorofeev told his wife that he was going to discuss a new film project, and in the morning he was already traveling from Istanbul to the Syrian border.

The most authoritative Islamic theologian in Moscow, the imam of the mosque on Poklonnaya Hill, Shamil Alyautdinov, tried to dissuade Vadim from joining ISIS, but it was too late.

“If a person has gotten there, then he is so psychologically dependent on it that no arguments can get him out of there,” Alyautdinov said.

Vadim disappeared in the caliphate until December, and two weeks before the New Year, his wife began receiving SMS messages on his behalf, but Alena is not sure what her husband wrote to her.
And a week later, Alena was informed from Syria about the death of her husband and, according to her, they even sent a photo. Vadim Dorofeev is survived by a 5-year-old son and a 7-month-old daughter.

An excerpt characterizing Dorofeev, Vadim Gennadievich

- Hooray! - they shouted from all sides. For a minute the crowd stood in one place; but then she rushed forward again. Petya, not remembering himself, clenched his teeth and brutally rolled his eyes, rushed forward, working with his elbows and shouting “Hurray!”, as if he was ready to kill himself and everyone at that moment, but exactly the same brutal faces climbed from his sides with the same shouts of “Hurray!” “So this is what a sovereign is! - thought Petya. “No, I can’t submit a petition to him myself, it’s too bold!” Despite this, he still desperately made his way forward, and from behind the backs of those in front he glimpsed an empty space with a passage covered with red cloth; but at that time the crowd wavered back (in front the police were pushing away those who were advancing too close to the procession; the sovereign was passing from the palace to the Assumption Cathedral), and Petya unexpectedly received such a blow to the side in the ribs and was so crushed that suddenly everything in his eyes became blurred and he lost consciousness. When he came to his senses, some kind of clergyman, with a bun of graying hair back, in a worn blue cassock, probably a sexton, held him under his arm with one hand, and with the other protected him from the pressing crowd. - The youngster was run over! - said the sexton. - Well, that’s it!.. it’s easier... crushed, crushed! The Emperor went to the Assumption Cathedral. The crowd smoothed out again, and the sexton led Petya, pale and not breathing, to the Tsar’s cannon. Several people took pity on Petya, and suddenly the whole crowd turned to him, and a stampede began around him. Those who stood closer served him, unbuttoned his frock coat, placed a gun on the dais and reproached someone - those who crushed him. “You can crush him to death this way.” What is this! To do murder! “Look, cordial, he’s become white as a tablecloth,” said the voices. Petya soon came to his senses, the color returned to his face, the pain went away, and for this temporary trouble he received a place on the cannon, from which he hoped to see the sovereign who was about to return. Petya no longer thought about submitting a petition. If only he could see him, he would consider himself happy! During the service in the Assumption Cathedral - a combined prayer service on the occasion of the arrival of the sovereign and a prayer of thanks for the conclusion of peace with the Turks - the crowd spread out; Shouting sellers of kvass, gingerbread, and poppy seeds appeared, which Petya was especially keen on, and ordinary conversations could be heard. One merchant's wife showed her torn shawl and said how expensive it was bought; another said that nowadays all silk fabrics have become expensive. The sexton, Petya’s savior, was talking with the official about who and who was serving with the Reverend today. The sexton repeated the word soborne several times, which Petya did not understand. Two young tradesmen joked with the courtyard girls gnawing nuts. All these conversations, especially jokes with girls, which had a special attraction for Petya at his age, all these conversations did not interest Petya now; ou sat on his gun dais, still worried at the thought of the sovereign and his love for him. The coincidence of the feeling of pain and fear when he was squeezed with a feeling of delight further strengthened in him the awareness of the importance of this moment. Suddenly, cannon shots were heard from the embankment (they were firing to commemorate peace with the Turks), and the crowd quickly rushed to the embankment to watch them shoot. Petya also wanted to run there, but the sexton, who had taken the little bark under his protection, did not let him in. The shots still continued when officers, generals, and chamberlains ran out of the Assumption Cathedral, then others came out not so hastily, the caps were taken off their heads again, and those who had run away to look at the cannons ran back. Finally, four more men in uniforms and ribbons emerged from the cathedral doors. "Hooray! Hooray! – the crowd shouted again.
