Roman Kartsev did not become

On October 2, at the 80th year of his life, People's Artist of the Russian Federation, Roman Kartsev, died. Natalya Zhvanetskaya reported in her Facebook .

Roman Kartsev was born on May 20, 1939 in Odessa. The father seriously went in for sports - played football, after he was wounded and demobilized during the Great Patriotic War, he switched to coaching, was an arbitrator. Mom was a secretary of the party organization of the shoe factory and control . More than one artist came out of such a seemingly non -creative family - the brother of the novel also performed in the circus, and for the stage he took the pseudonym Karts.

Roman Kartsev began a creative career with a drama circle of the House of Culture of Sailors, then received an invitation to the amateur Student Theater "Parnas-2" at the Odessa Institute of Motherland Engineers. A fateful meeting was held there - with the future pop partner Viktor Ilchenko and the author of the texts Mikhail Zhvanetsky. It was this Trio in 1970 that won the All -Union Competition of Artists of the stage.

Not everyone knows that Kartsev is the pseudonym of the Romki Artist, as they called him in Odessa. Arkady Raikin should thank him for him - it was he who advised the new artist of his miniature theater to take the pseudonym. Kartsev had a chance to work in the Odessa Theater of Miniatures, and in the Moscow, and and the Miniature Theater of Mikhail Zhvanetsky.

Already at 33, at a completely conscious age - having made a conscious choice - Kartsev in absentia graduated from the GITIS acting faculty.

Since 1975, Roman Kartsev appears on the movie screen - and although there are almost two dozen roles in his asset, the most noticeable, perhaps, the images of the Schwonder in the “dog heart” and Solomon in the “Heaven of the Promised” were.

Of course, the artist does not make a national rank - but they also had Roman Kartsev. In 1990, he became an honored artist of the RSFSR, in 1999 he received the title of People's Artist of Russia. In 2009, he was awarded the Order of Merit to the Fatherland of the IV degree.

“I hug you, my laughing from my words, my picked up my thoughts, my sympathetic to me,” Natalya Zhvanetskaya says goodbye to the novel by Kartsev words of her husband. A characteristic voice, in surprise , are serious eyes: “We are confident , because we have a business, with gratitude or without e , with or without response , but ours, eternal.”
