Artsibashev was a close friend of our family. He became acquainted with my dad Alexander in 70th in Sverdlovsk. Father says that he and Sergey immediately got into a creative circle of the city. Time out cultural Vladimir Presnyakov played flute, Vladimir Ilyin told fables and Artsibashev accompanied him on the guitar. Later, he moved to Moscow and entered GITIS. Already in the 4th year of Yuri Lyubimov noticed him and invited him to the Taganka Theater is not only an actor, but a director. There, he directed his first play – “Hope small orchestra,” which was about 500 times.
This is the scene … And sometimes that happened at the scene of the legendary theater in the bath! Not just there feasted Artsibashev, dad and Vysotsky. Once in front of the play “Hamlet”, in which the main role played Vladimir Semenovich, the company stayed on pretty. Vysotsky was about to go on stage, suddenly burst into a comic monologue Danish prince: “To drink or not to drink? That is the question. Yuri Lyubimov knew the answer – got all thorough. Especially Artsibashev.
At the beginning of the “zero”, he began directing theater. Mayakovsky. At the invitation of Andrei Goncharov he was put there for several productions: “Joan,” “Music Lessons” and “Farce for adults only.” Even as artistic director he produced performances that rocked the capital of “Dead Souls”, “Marriage”, “banquet”, “Love eyes of the detective,” “Divorce is like a man».
In 1991 Artsibashev He founded the Theatre on Pokrovka. Hall it just 60-70 seats. The audience and the actors around. Dissemble and lie is impossible. In his “Three Sisters” and “The Inspector General” is still not buy tickets. Here he is sitting in his office, behind him – the great wall in the autographs. The strong man, brave, he makes theater of truth, based on a strong literature and music, good taste and unconditional professionalism. His art heals.
Working in film has expanded his creative horizons. He starred in such masters as Eldar Ryazanov, Nikita Mikhalkov, Igor Talankin. Artsibashev admitted that it was thanks to the cinema he became recognizable. The circle of his admirers increased after the “cruel romance”, “Shirley Myrli”, “12″ and “Burnt by the Sun-2. Citadel ».

This conversation took place four years ago at the Theatre on Pokrovka after the play “My Poor Marat “played after a long break especially for the anniversary of the death of Vladimir Vysotsky. It sounded his songs. So the topic of conversation itself was defined. And it turned out that Vysotsky for Artsibashev not only a colleague and friend. Their fates are intertwined in a strange way …
– When a loved actors introduced me as the second director, that many views, to put it mildly, was surprised, but not Volodya. Later, when we take a closer look, he told me that he had never questioned the choice of Yuri Petrovich. Moreover, it has always respected, so humanly treated to a new face in the team. After that, we began to chat. When you play in a theater, but is still on the same wavelength with a genius like Vysotsky, it’s hard not to understand each other.
I’ve always liked his songs. Even during a party with friends we took the guitar and how could paraphrase him: “Oh, would know Gogol about our lives miserable. So he would Gogol us would have believed. ” I even wrote good parody of Vysotsky’s songs. He himself treated them very skeptical and prohibited “disfigure his poems.” But my parodies some reason he liked. He said: “Serge, write-ka anything else. We’re in the same rhythm. I am happy to look at you when you’re in my role. ” A year before the death of Vladimir Vysotsky Lyubimov decided to put it on the show. Volodya said that he would agree to such an unusual staging, only if I get the main role, and poems will be performed is also mine. We were just a little bit is not enough time to finish the play … Genius is not. A “Vladimir Vysotsky” is still in the repertoire of the Taganka Theater.

«My family – this topic is not for the press. However, it is large, the wife Masha, four sons and a daughter ».
– You Vysotsky something similar. Perhaps in the spirit.
– Not only. From the back we always confused: we are the same height and build. In the corridors of the Taganka I often cried, “Vysotsky Vysotsky, stop at last.” And the monument to Volodya, who now stands in the courtyard of the Taganka Theater, sculpted with me, even with a cast of my face shot! I sat for 4 hours a day and in a suit Hamlet, too. I confess that not one pile had to make at this time. I was so worried. It was as if paralyzed.
As soon as I got on Taganka, I had to pick up in the locker room for the role of costume and shoes. I came across some shoes in my size, which were almost able to salvage. I chose them. During rehearsal shoe turned, and I saw the inscription on the base of “Vysotsky”. I adored him so much that he could not part with the shoes at the end of the play. I wore them a few years to complete wear. I do not even remember how many times cobblers repaired shoes. And once Volodya gave me his guitar and costumes for the play, which was dedicated to him. I kept his belongings to his last days at the Taganka. And when it came time to leave, he forced himself not to grab them with you, even though he knew that no one would notice the disappearance. Still, given to the Museum of Vladimir Vysotsky …
