In Moscow, the 10th time will be awarded Vladimir Vysotsky’s prize “His Rule”

In anticipation of the memorable date - the birthday of an outstanding actor, poet and singer Vladimir Vysotsky (1938-1980) on Monday will be a traditional presentation of the "Road" award. The solemn ceremony will be held for the 10th time in the Ostankino television center, and not as earlier in theatrical and concert halls, ITAR-TASS reports.

“The very idea of ​​this award was born spontaneously, at one of the home evenings, where his friends and relatives gathered to celebrate the birthday of his father,” the poet’s son Nikita Vysotsky said in an interview. By profession, an actor who successfully starred in several films is now heading the State Cultural Center-Museum of V.S. Vyvosotsky.

In 1997, the founders of "its ruts" were the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation, the Moscow Culture Committee and the Vysotsky Foundation. According to Nikita Vladimirovich, in the name of the award - the words from the poem of his father, which "in his life and art has always been made his own way, his rut."

He recalled that this is an unprofessional award: it is not given for achievement in a particular area, but for the personal qualities of a person. Those people become laureates, the head of the museum noted, "who, under any, even extreme situations, do not change their beliefs whose life and activity are tune with Vysotsky’s poetry." So, for example, in different years, the well -known scientist Natalya Bekhtereva, children's doctor Leonid Roshal, actor Nikolai Karachentsov, hockey player Alexander Maltsev, head of the Ministry of Emergencies Sergey Shoigu, director Galina Volchek, screenwriter Mikhail Zhvanetsky and others became the owners of the prestigious award.

The names of the new laureates of their ruts for 2006 are still secret and will be declared in the afternoon. But the composition of the jury on the award of this honorary award remains unchanged. It includes, in particular, Yuri Lyubimov, Mikhail Shemyakin, George Grechko, Valery Zolotukhin, Mikhail Shvydka.

Nikita Vysotsky said that on January 25, on the birthday of his father, a new exhibition dedicated to Vladimir Semenovich was opening on the center-museum. That evening, visitors will be able to meet with the jury members and the new owners of "their rut". In the halls of the museum, songs performed by Vysotsky will sound, fragments of films with his participation are shown.
