Many tobakov
How many persons did he have? How many lives did he live? How many gifts did he get from fate?
All - one at a time. The face is one, life is one and one gift - an incredible acting talent.
He, as an imprint of gift, manifested itself from the first roles of “contemporary” - clearly manifested - not like anyone but Oleg Pavlovich Tabakov, Lelik (as his friends called until the last day).
When his eightieth anniversary was celebrated, I asked Igor Zolotovitsky, the rector of the Moscow Art Theater, actor and director of the theater, and help print 1000 copies of Tabakov masks. The audience of copies would be dead if there were no original (in the photo it is the only color). Nobody can repeat Oleg Pavlovich - even nature.
He knew how to teach and delight. He created his own world, recognizable and unrecognizable to the end.
It was a big, very large actor.
Do not look into the future in search of another Tabakov - this will not happen.
We all lost an outstanding master.
And also a good comrade.
