• Alisa Freundlich believes Ravikovitch “dinosaur” of the acting profession

Some days all of St. Petersburg the public is discussing the idea of stellar artists who have offered to honor the memory of the famous actor Anatoly Ravikovitch. Among those who have taken this initiative very often big names: Alisa Freindlich, Sergei Migitsko, Mikhail Boyarsky, Irina Mazurkevich, Gennady Khazanov, Svetlana Karmalita, Sergey Snezhkin and the General Director of “Lenfilm studios” Eduard Pichugin. Khazanov, by the way, is also the main ideologist of the project.

“We are negotiating with the government of St. Petersburg, but so far nothing concrete. There is a law that says that a memorial plaque can be set 30 years after death – I hope that in this case, the law can be “broken.” Moreover, the Governor of St. Petersburg with sympathy to this idea”, – said Gennady Khazanov, speaking to reporters on the “thumbnail”.

Fame Anatoly Ravikovich brought chobotov role in the cult film by Mikhail Kozakov “Pokrovsk gate”, where he played the intelligent and charming eccentric, in love with poetry. In addition, he noted the role of Carlson, firs, Marmeladov, Sancho Panza, but his heart belonged to the theatre. Among colleagues it was even called “a true intellectual”.

Supports the idea of installing a memorial plaque actress Alisa Freundlich, she called Ravikovitch “dinosaur of the profession.” “The Board is not just a piece of material, it’s something alive. And Ravikovich belonged to that rare type of actor who called tragicomic. I think of the dinosaurs. You see how he kept pause!”, – admires Alice Brunovna.

Not the last role Anatoly Ravikovich played in the fate of Mikhail Boyarsky, who shared his memories.

“It would seem that we are such different people, but we from morning until night wrote various skits, something was up, and we were good to each other, until the Ira (actress Irina Mazurkevich, the wife of Anatoly Ravikovitch). Male friendship came to an end with her appearance, because Roofing could not give himself to me, and half of it wasn’t enough for me. But, if not Ravikovich, I would not marry Larisa Luppian! I said, “Better than her, you will not find!” But if he spoke, the way it was, and I decided to listen to him,” recalled Mikhail Boyarsky.

According to the initiators of the idea, yet a clear understanding of what will be shown on the plaque, but once all the formalities are settled, then they start sketching.

Note that on 24 December Anatoly Ravikovich would have turned 80 years old – in honor of this date on Literatorskie jetty Volkov cemetery held a wreath-laying at his grave, followed by the play “Dinner with a fool” dedicated to the memory of the actor.
