For an artist, attention to his person is very important. Many Soviet film actors have become real idols for the inhabitants of a vast country. But, as it turns out, from people's love to complete oblivion is not so far away. the site remembered several wonderful Soviet film actors who left this world alone and in poverty.
Mikhail Kononov
Film frame Mikhail Ivanovich last years lived in the countryside - he decided to leave the capital in order to be more in the fresh air after suffering a serious illness. In recent years, he tried to publish a book of his own memoirs. But his autobiography turned out to be of no use to anyone. They stopped inviting Kononov to the cinema after he rejected offers several times because of what he thought were vulgar scripts. The actor until the end of his life dreamed of trying his hand at the profession of director. But this was not destined to come true - none of Kononov's projects interested investors. The artist passed away in 2007. He was 67 years old.
Georgy Vitsin
The idol of Soviet viewers, Georgy Mikhailovich Vitsin, passed away very quietly and imperceptibly. In recent years, he lived alone and was sick a lot. In his apartment there was old broken furniture, some glass in the windows was broken. The actor did not have the money to fix it - he hung bags on the frame, in which sugar is usually stored. Every day he fed pigeons in the yard and treated the children with sweets, which he bought with his own meager pension. When Vitsin died, only a few relatives and neighbors came to his funeral. For a long time there was not even a monument on the modest grave of the great actor.
Alexey Smirnov
Source: globallookpress.com Alexei Makarovich Smirnov during the war was a scout - he repeatedly went behind enemy lines. His best friend was the actor and director Leonid Bykov, whom they met long before the filming of the film “Only Old Men Go to Battle”. In recent years, the actor lived alone. The directors did not invite him to shoot, as the artist had problems with alcohol and the filmmakers were afraid that he might break manufacturing process. Once Smirnov was hospitalized with a heart attack. He lay there for six months. The doctors did not tell Alexei Makarovich that his best friend died in a car accident - they were afraid that his heart would fail. When the artist found out about Bykov's death, he simply lay down on the bed and died of grief. For a long time no one went to Smirnov's grave - it was overgrown with grass and for 25 years no one could find it. The burial place of Alexei Smirnov was discovered not so long ago quite by accident.
Vladimir Ivashov

The actress died when she was only 38 years old.
Nonna Mordyukova
The acting profession is unreliable and risky. Today, an artist can be in demand and loved by everyone, but tomorrow the trend changes, new faces appear, and everyone forgets yesterday's idol.
If in modern times actors have the opportunity to receive large fees, invest money somewhere and thus secure their future, then in the USSR and after its collapse it was impossible.
The Soviet actor lived on a small salary, and after 1991, dozens of eminent stars were thrown to the sidelines of life without a livelihood. We invite you to read about the fate of Soviet artists who died in poverty and oblivion.
Alexey Smirnov
Actor Alexei Smirnov is one of those whose name no one remembers, but the film images are firmly remembered. Smirnov mostly starred in episodic, characteristic roles, but many of them are remembered by all Russian viewers. So, he played the rowdy Fedya in the film "Operation Y" and Shurik's Other Adventures, the mechanic Makarych in the film "Only Old Men Go to Battle", as well as many others. 
Smirnov could never build relationships with women, after being wounded in the war he became barren and therefore never married. Smirnov broke down after the death of his friend Leonid Bykov - he began to drink a lot, despite health problems. Soon he was admitted to the hospital ischemic disease heart, but could not give up alcohol there.
Alexey Smirnov: a clown with a broken heart
He was discharged on May 7, 1979, and died the same day. National fame did not make him happy and did not bring him friends. For a long time no one went to Smirnov's grave - it was overgrown with grass and for 25 years no one could find it. The burial place of Alexei Smirnov was discovered not so long ago quite by accident.
Alexander Belyavsky
One of the most elegant Soviet actors in his youth starred a lot, and mostly in the roles of "charming scoundrels" - what is the role of Fox in the mini-series "The meeting place cannot be changed" with Vladimir Vysotsky. 
The last film with the participation of Alexander Belyavsky was released in 2008, where he played a small role of the governor. It was the picture "A Kiss Not for the Press" with Andrei Panin in the title role. In the last years of his life, he could not work actively - heart problems and the consequences of a stroke interfered. Alexander Borisovich walked with a cane, he did not feel very well. Due to the lack of work and a small pension, there was not enough money to live on.
Belyavsky died in 2012. The artist was found under the windows of the house where he lived - Alexander Belyavsky fell out of the window. At first it was believed that he stopped in the stairwell to take a breath of air, and did not keep his balance. However, later friends and colleagues began to say that it was a conscious act, and the reason was a beggarly existence and health problems. Alexander Belyavsky was 80 years old.
Tatyana Samoilova
The star of the 60s, actress Tatyana Samoilova was considered one of the most beautiful women not only in Soviet, but also in European cinema. And in 1957, the film with her participation - "The Cranes Are Flying" - received its Oscar. The actress was recognized in the West, she began to receive invitations to shoot in Hollywood and from European directors. 
However, Goskino officials did not want to let Samoilova go to work, fearing that she would become a "non-returner". In Soviet times, she had enough work in the USSR - among her paintings at that time there are, for example, Anna Karenina. Since the mid-70s, Tatyana Samoilova has completely disappeared from the screen. They remembered her only in the early 90s - they were invited to the 43rd Cannes Film Festival as an honored guest.
Unfortunately, this did not become a reason for returning to the cinema. The first role after a 25-year break was offered to her only in 2000. After that, she played in only five films (for example, in the Moscow Saga with Olga Budina and Alexander Baluev). The actress herself said that if she lived in Hollywood, Anna Karenina alone would be enough for her to live comfortably all her life. Samoilova died alone in 2014.

However, national fame and demand, even in later years, had little effect on the quality of life. In 1999, she played her last film role - in the film "Mom" with a whole constellation of young actors. Her set partners on this film were Vladimir Mashkov, Evgeny Mironov and Oleg Menshikov.
In an interview, Nonna Mordyukova restrainedly complained about the lack of money and the humiliating existence of a penny pension. At the end of her life, she shared with her sister a tiny cluttered apartment in Krylatskoye in Moscow. She was sick a lot, so she could not earn money on filming and concerts. She said that the pension was barely enough for the bare necessities, and sometimes she picks up a pineapple in the store - just to smell it. Nonna Mordyukova died in 2008 at the age of 82.
Borislav Brondukov

But the first stroke was followed by three more. The disease lasted for ten years, and in the last years of his life - after 1997 - the artist did not get out of bed, could not talk, he only cried sometimes from longing and humiliation. Life was hard.
Brondukov's wife Ekaterina said that young people periodically appeared in the house tough guys gangster-looking, who left her some money. The couple lived in the village of Bykovnya near Kyiv, where doctors even refused to go. At times there was absolutely nothing to eat, and then a familiar butcher gave the family of Borislav Brondukov bones - Catherine cooked thin soup from them. The actor died in 2004, he was 66 years old.
Vladimir Ivashov

After the first starring role, there were others - Colonel Kudasov's adjutant in The Crown of the Russian Empire (the song "Russian Field" then became the artist's crown number), Pechorin in "A Hero of Our Time" (however, Vyacheslav Tikhonov voiced the role, since Ivashov from temporarily lost his voice due to illness) and others.

The song "Russian Field" performed by Vladimir Ivashov
In the early 90s, Vladimir Ivashov was not in demand in the cinema, he was fired from his job - from the Film Actor Theater. To earn a living, he got a job as a laborer: he dragged bricks at a construction site, kneaded concrete. In 1995, he died from internal bleeding - Vladimir Ivashov had a stomach ulcer.

One of the people who was allowed to visit her was Rob Fey: "Kathleen did a great job of making the ward feel like home," he says. “Gia wanted to shoot a story in which she would tell children about drugs. So that they know what drugs can lead to. She wanted to say that this can be fought. But for some reason we never recorded it. The last time I saw Gia, she couldn't speak, I knew she was dying." Then Gia's mother finally broke her silence to speak out about tragic fate his daughter. “I was with her to the end,” Kathleen said. “We sat in the park and talked. We both knew that she had no particular desire to live. Gia then said:“ I overdosed three times - why did God save me then? ”Gia's face was beautiful to the end. her faith in God was renewed. A portrait of Jesus was taped to the door of her room." Within a few weeks, Gia's health deteriorated rapidly. In October, four weeks before her death, she was placed in an isolation cell.

Amy Winehouse (1983 - 2011)
The British soul singer, dubbed "the new Billie Holiday" by journalists, was found dead in her lonely bed at her home on July 23, 2011. Death, according to the conclusion of forensic experts, occurred for a complex reason: from an overdose of alcohol and drugs, as well as due to emphysema, which the artist was diagnosed with three years earlier. Amy, as if competing with someone in the scale of drug use and drinking, got into the sinister "club-27", where her idols Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin were already staying. Her farewell was held in the oldest London synagogue: the place of the funeral ceremony was literally blocked by hundreds of reporters, and the plea of the relatives of the deceased to spare their feelings had no effect. The tabloid press pursued Amy from the very beginning of her career: a reckless and self-pitying tragic Jewish girl became an ideal heroine for the “yellow” publications and at the same time a victim. The paparazzi were on duty 24/7 near her house in Camden, and videos of the singer staggering, barely alive from crack and whiskey appeared on the websites of leading English tabloids with lightning speed. Amy's death turned her into a lost treasure: the same Daily Mirror and Daily Mail, which for several years painted the image of a downgraded drug addict, published tearful obituaries. Which once again confirmed the thought of the philosopher Baudrillard: the celebrity cult in modern society is a peculiar form of necrophilia.
