How Adiev he was!

Gaft embodied the authenticity of male relations with life. Remember it as follows: photo

“Ordinary History”, one of the famous performances of the young “Contemporary” and the best productions of Galina Volchek, went on Mayakovsky Square. They played with two compositions. This is later, later Gaft became a star, and then they went to Kazakov.

But it was the GAFT in the Goncharovsky plot about the delivery and death of a person within the framework of the regime, precisely laid for the context and circumstances of the Soviet era, about consonant as a choice of behavior, about the price of comfort to adapt, was convincing like no one. Smart, sophisticated, multi-experienced Aduev Sr. was an intelligent who unexpectedly returned to his essence from a big career, became those who could not change the rules of life, but could change themselves within them. The turning point “... The secret adviser is bad ...” Gaft said with an unforgettable intonation of irony and sadness. While Aduev Jr., Oleg Tabakov, became his young cynical copy.

Vershinin Gaft in the “Three Sisters” had conquering charm, from the first steps on the stage it was clear that he would turn it over in it, to tear off the hoppy teacher Masha. And his mayor exuded truly Gogol comicism.

Dozens of roles, always the demand in the theater and cinema - and the frightening willingness to ridicule a “harmless poister”, that is, a brilliant epigram, anyone, regardless of the floor, rank and status. Experiments of directing, books, and always verses. Could be romantic and insanely ridiculous; socially identified and mastering classics as a second skin; He owned conventionality and character - Valentin Iosifovich Gaft on the stage and on the screen embodied fun, wisdom, challenge, irony and the authenticity of male relations with life.

... From that first, great “contemporary” on Old Moscow Square, there was almost no one left.
