Evening Medusa

March 12. Oleg Tabakov died

Oleg Tabakov-an outstanding actor, director, artistic director and teacher-died in a Moscow hospital at the 83rd year of life. In recent months, he was seriously ill, in November he was hospitalized with pneumonia.

The film critic "Medusa" Anton Dolin wrote about the great artist , who will forever remain truly popular:

What is a "great artist"? Probably, the one who managed to combine two acting fates is to be a protrusion that changes beyond recognition at the whim of the director, and create his own stable role, which the viewer does not confuse with anyone. Tabakov did. His slightly cracked purring voice, his soft smile, in which the share of the mockery was always read, the features of his face - beautiful and at the same time simple -minded, “folk type” - national value that is not dependent on the framing. The image, if not for centuries, then certainly for decades.

Farewell to Tabakov will take place on March 15 at the Chekhov Moscow Art Theater. On the same day, he will be buried in the Novodevichy cemetery.

In the same 2012, Putin ordered to reduce mortality from cardiovascular diseases. The government reported that the task was completed. At the same time, mortality from other diseases increased radically.
