• Lykshin Vasily Sergeevich funeral. Actor Vasily Lykshin died in his sleep from sudden cardiac arrest. Chance given by fate

    Vasily Sergeevich Lykshin. Born on January 27, 1987 in the village. Gorki-2, Odintsovo district, Moscow region - died on October 18, 2009 in the village. Gorki-2. Russian actor. Performer of the role of Alexander Gromov in the series "Gromovs".

    Vasily Lykshin was born on January 27, 1987 in the village of Gorki-2, Odintsovo district, Moscow region, in a dysfunctional family.

    Father - Sergey Vladimirovich Lykshin.

    Mother - Tatyana Vyacheslavovna Lykshina.

    The elder brother is Pavel (born 1985).

    Younger brother- Valery (born in 1996).

    Vasily's parents abused alcohol and led an antisocial lifestyle. The family had three children - Vasily had a sister and a brother. On May 20, 1994, his parents were deprived of parental rights by the decision of the Odintsovo city court. And on September 1, 1994, Vasily Lykshin, along with his brother and sister, were sent to the Zaitsevsky orphanage, located in the Odintsovo district. Already in the orphanage, the children learned about the birth of another younger brother.

    The environment in the orphanage was not the best. As Lykshin said, he started smoking and drinking vodka from the age of 7. He grew up in a circle of pupils of an orphanage with similar fates, often hooligans and fought. In 1999, he was registered with the police because of various minor offenses related to hooliganism, he was repeatedly brought to meetings of the commission on juvenile affairs in the Odintsovo district.

    On December 19, 2001, the commission for minors and the protection of their rights in the Odintsovo district decided to send Vasya Lykshin to a special school after the theft of stationery from the classroom of the orphanage on November 27, 2001.

    However, even at the school, Lykshin got into an unpleasant situation: together with his classmates, he climbed into the general's dacha. A police patrol quickly arrived at the dacha equipped with video cameras. The guys ran away, and Vasya was detained. This time, the punishment turned out to be more severe: the teenager was assigned to a closed Sebezh special school for a year and a half. Later, Vasily admitted that they climbed into someone else's house not for the sake of theft, but to satisfy their hunger.

    The fate of Vasily changed dramatically in 2002 - director Svetlana Stasenko drew attention to him, who invited the boy to play in a movie. 15-year-old Vasily was given leading role- Mishka as a child - in a crime action movie "Angel on the Road". According to the story, in the late 1970s, in a provincial Soviet town, the boy Mishka, abandoned by his mother and stepfather, lives - a curious, brave and evil. With his directness and fearless naivete, he wins the favor of the local gangster John, and with the help of his patron begins to perform in local taverns, finally leaving dysfunctional family. Suddenly, in front of Mishka, John is killed. And without hesitation, having shot at the killer, Mishka becomes the killer himself.

    For his role in the film "Angel on the Roadside" Vasily Lykshin in 2004 was awarded the American award "Best Young Artist" ("Young Artist Awards").

    In March 2002, by a decision of the Odintsovo City Court, Lykshin was sent to the Sebezh Special Vocational School No. 1 closed type for a period of 1 year and 6 months. The reason for this was the commission of a socially dangerous act in January 2002, provided for in the article "Hooliganism".

    In December 2002, the film crew of the film "Angel on the Road" and representatives of the school petitioned for Vasily's early release. The Sebezhsky District Court released Lykshin, and the director Stasenko issued guardianship over him.

    However, at the age of 18, Lykshin returned to his family again - to his mother, brothers and sister. The mother married a second time, but the stepfather, like his father before, also drank.

    He played Lavrik in the controversial film "Bastards".

    The role of Sasha Gromov in the popular TV series became a star for Vasily Lykshin "Gromovs" and its continuation "Gromovs. House of Hope". According to the plot, the action of the melodrama develops in the late 1970s in the mining village of Kamenka, where the friendly and happy Gromov family lives: Maria, Fedor and their children - Nastya, Sasha, Sava and little Nikitka. Fedor works at the mine, Maria is a teacher. But then a tragedy happens: the father dies, and the mother and children are forced to leave the village and start new life fraught with many difficulties and dangers.

    Death of Vasily Lykshin

    The young actor lived in a disadvantaged area - together with numerous relatives, he huddled in three rooms that were in a dilapidated barracks in the village of Gorki-2 near Moscow.

    The actor died on October 18, 2009 from cardiovascular insufficiency. According to the official version, on the evening of October 17, he went to bed and did not wake up - his heart stopped right in his sleep. In the morning, dead Lykshin, lying in bed, was found by his neighbors in the apartment (his wife, along with her one-year-old daughter, were visiting their parents that day). Arriving doctors stated cardiac arrest.

    Vasily was buried on October 20, 2009 at the Znamenskoye cemetery in the village of Znamenskoye, Moscow Region. In addition to relatives and friends, many actors and the film crew of the series "Ranetki" came to his funeral.

    However, his relatives claimed that he never complained about his health. The actor's wife expressed the belief that Vasily was killed. In addition, it turned out that on the night of the tragedy, valuables and money disappeared from Lykshin's room. "There is a suspicion that we are talking about murder," said the wife of the deceased.

    Lykshin's adoptive mother, director Svetlana Stasenko, was also critical of the doctors' verdict: "Why Vasya's heart stopped is still unknown. Yes, he worked tirelessly, and even lived in terrible conditions: three rooms in the barracks, where he lived seven people, all of Vasya's relatives (no matter how much I knocked on the thresholds of the security service, he, like an orphan, should be provided with normal housing - to no avail), so imagine the situation, and even one-year-old Kira and the newlyweds are screaming in the same room. The son said that they even have rats."

    Personal life of Vasily Lykshin:

    Wife - Elena Lykshina (born May 28, 1982). She was 5 years older than him, from a previous marriage she had a son, Nikita (born 2002), whom Lykshin adopted. We got married in 2008.

    In Moscow, on the night of October 18, the famous young actor Vasily Lykshin, the star of the film "Bastards", the series "Ranetki" and "Gromovs", died.

    Vasily was only 22 years old. As the reporter was told MySLO in the press service of the STS TV channel, the tragedy occurred on the night of October 17-18. As usual, Vasya came home after filming and went to bed. But the next morning he never woke up - the heart of the young actor stopped right in his sleep. The cause of the mysterious death is still unknown.

    Vasya never complained about his health, the press service of the STS TV channel assured us. - On the set, he, as always, smiled, talked with the guys. Nothing foreshadowed the tragedy ...

    The funeral of Vasily Lykshin took place on Tuesday 20 October. They were attended by the actor's relatives, relatives, friends and the entire film crew of the series.

    It so happened that we did not act in general scenes with Vasily, but we communicated very well behind the scenes, ”says the actor, Tula, who plays the role of a security guard in the TV series Ranetki, Sergei Stepin. Vasya was a very kind and sympathetic person. I'm sorry he passed away so suddenly.

    The young actor is known to the Tula audience for the sensational film "Bastards", the TV series "Gromovs" and, of course, "Ranetki".

    I am a big fan of the Ranetki series, I don’t miss a single episode, says Natalia Evina from Tula. - I really like the new season of Ranetok, especially the way Vasily Lykshin played his role. I think he was a very talented actor. It's a shame when young people pass away, and even so suddenly. When I watched the series "Gromovs", I was simply in love with Vasily.

    MySLO help:
    Vasily Lykshin was born on January 27, 1987. Vasya was brought up in an orphanage: his mother and father were deprived of parental rights for drunkenness. As a teenager, Lykshin landed in a juvenile colony for theft. At the age of 15, the boy was invited to play one of the main roles in the film "Angel on the Roadside" directed by Svetlana Stasenko. For this role, the young actor received the prestigious American Young Artist Awards. After some time, Svetlana Stasenko adopted Vasily.

    Filmography of the actor:
    2009 - "House on Ozernaya";
    2008 - 2009 - "Ranetki" (schoolboy Alexey);
    2007 - “Gromovs. House of Hope "(the main role of Sasha);
    2006 - "Bastards" (Lavrik);
    2005 - "Gromovs" (Sasha Gromov);
    2004 - "Angel on the Roadside" (Mishka as a child).

    On the night of October 17-18, in the village of Gorki-2 near Moscow, at night, in a dream, one of the most famous young film actors in Russia, Vasily Lykshin, suddenly died. His acting life began in 2002, when he was selected from hundreds of orphans for filming in the film by Svetlana Stasenko under the working title "Bear" (at the box office "Angel on the Roadside"), while he was already sent for education in the Sebezh Special Professional school number 1 of a closed type. At the request of the school and the film group, Lykshin's stay at the special school was terminated ahead of schedule by the decision of the Sebezhsky District Court in December 2002. For his role in "Angel on the Roadside" Vasily Lykshin, the only Russian actor, was awarded the "Oscar" for young people in the USA - "Young Artist Awards".

    It was the harbinger of an outstanding acting career. Then there were the roles of Sasha Gromov in the series "Gromovs" (2004) and later the continuation of "Gromovs. House of Hope "(2007), Lavrik in the tragic and scandalous film "Bastards" (2006), roles in the series "Postman", "House on Ozernaya" and the role of a student of Lekha's music class in the endless series "Ranetki" that made him extremely popular among young audiences ”on the STS channel (2008-2009), which will now be published according to a modified scenario.

    The emblem of the Sebezh Special Vocational School is a swan. The swan that grew out of the ugly duckling in the famous fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen, thanks to which the school is now friendly with the Kingdom of Denmark and enjoys its patronage. Raised wings of a white swan carefully surround a small yellow duck with a key in its beak on the emblem of the school.

    The key of fate is tragically difficult for almost all pupils of the school.

    Vasily Lykshin as Mishka in the film "Angel on the Roadside" (2002)

    Sergei Semyonov, who headed the school in 1995, was awarded the title "Andersen's Envoy in Russia" in Denmark in 2005, in the year of Andersen's 200th birthday, for the system of spiritual education of Russian difficult teenagers. The only winner of this award for many years, he does not belong to the world of art.

    Vasily Lykshin arrived at the Sebezh Special School on March 15, 2002 by order of the Odintsovo City Court of the Moscow Region dated March 4, 2002, the text of the decision of which fit on one page: “On the night of January 3, 2002, Lykshin V.S. committed a socially dangerous act provided for Art. 213 part 1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, but initiation of a criminal case was refused due to the fact that he had not reached the age of criminal responsibility. Previously, Lykshin had repeatedly committed socially dangerous acts. Since December 1999, Lykshin has been registered with the GPPN for committing petty hooliganism;

    Having considered at the court session the submitted materials on the placement of Lykshin in a special educational institution of a closed type, after listening to the minor Lykshin, his legal representative, the representative of the OPPN, the prosecutor and the lawyer, I believe that Lykshin, taking into account the nature of the offenses committed by him, his behavior, living conditions and education, as well as the educational measures taken, needs special conditions for education, training and requires a special pedagogical approach, in connection with which there are grounds for placing Lykshin in a special general education school of a closed type. There are no reasons that prevent Lykshin from being placed in the specified institution. ... Decided: to send the minor Lykshin Vasily Sergeevich to a special general education school of a closed type for a period of 1 year 6 months.

    “All conversations and discussions at the place of study did not give any result ...”

    Vasily Lykshin's parents Tatyana Vyacheslavovna and Sergey Vladimirovich Lykshin were deprived of parental rights in relation to the children of Anastasia (born in 1984), Pavel (born in 1985) and Vasily (born in 1987) by the decision of the Odintsovo City Court on May 20, 1994 . In August of the same year, local guardianship and guardianship authorities decided to send children from September 1 of the same year to an orphanage "for living and further education."

    This orphanage was the Zaitsevsky orphanage, located in the same Odintsovo district of the Moscow region. The teenager was sent to study at the location of the orphanage in Likinskaya school.

    The orphanage did not have any positive impact on the fate of Vasily. Escapes, thefts (including from the orphanage itself), hooliganism, refusals to initiate criminal proceedings due to not reaching the age of criminal responsibility ...

    The first decision on the need to send Vasily Lykshin to a special school was made by the commission for minors and the protection of their rights in the Odintsovo district on December 19, 2001, after the theft of stationery from the orphanage class in the amount of 255 (two hundred and fifty five) rubles, which happened on November 27, 2001. On February 20, the decision was made a second time.

    After that, there were several more “acts”, including the events mentioned by the court on the night of January 2-3, 2002, when Vasily, in company with a girl who lived next door to his house, entered the change house of a local resident, where they “broke all the windows, broke the furniture , scattered all things, while taking nothing.

    In preparing for the trial of references to Vasily Lykshin, the school and the department for juvenile affairs signed that they were not able to do anything.

    The principal of the school said that during the two and a half years of study, Vasily "showed himself mainly with negative side: a huge number of missed lessons, extreme imbalance and irascibility, smoking, obscene language ... “Chronic” poor progress in the 8th grade ... A large number of reports have accumulated on the teenager about various violations of the school charter and rules of conduct for students: fights, broken glass, toilet bowls, appearance in alcohol intoxication ... The socio-pedagogical neglect of a teenager gave ground for his active protest to society; as he grew older, Vasily asserted himself in illegal activities: in thefts, fights.

    Vasily is overly touchy, stubborn, loves increased attention to himself, is hyperactive, has no fear in risk situations.

    He is easily taken out of balance, he often has a bad mood, but there is an excess of motives that find relaxation in conflict situations.

    The accumulation of negatively colored emotional impressions led to an inadequate reaction to the teaching, made him a difficult student.

    For the first quarter of the 2001-2002 academic year, Vasily Lykshin's record was mostly C, he was not certified in physics and labor, and in the second quarter he was not certified in the Russian language, literature, history, social science, biology and labor.

    An amazing thing: for both quarters in the subject "World Artistic Culture" - the only one in the statement - Vasily has a "good" mark.

    The juvenile affairs inspector of the Yudinsky police department, summarizing the “results of work” with Vasily Lykshin in a special certificate, wrote: “Since 1999, Vasya’s behavior has changed for the worse. Under the influence of his older brother and other adolescents from the orphanage, he began to systematically violate discipline, allow unauthorized departures ... A warning was issued ... A strict reprimand was issued ... He reacts aggressively, hot-tempered to comments ... All conversations and discussions at the place of study did not give any result ... Sent conditionally to a special school ... He arbitrarily left the orphanage ... He hid from the educators who came to pick him up at his mother's place of residence. By the measures taken, the teenager was returned to the orphanage ... It was re-discussed at the visiting meeting of the KDN ... The previous measure of punishment was left: a conditional transfer to a special school ... The ODN raised the question of isolating the teenager, but the head. He was taken on bail by the Department of Education of the Odintsovo district Bott G. A. ... Another fact of theft ... A decision was made: to petition the Odintsovo court to send the minor to a special vocational school ... He again arbitrarily left the orphanage ... Placed in the TsVINP for 30 days ... The material was sent to the Odintsovo court ... In view of the foregoing, the correction and re-education of Lykshin is possible only in a special vocational school.

    Before the court session, a special commission, headed by an inspector of the juvenile affairs department, drew up an "Act of examining the material and living conditions of the family."

    In the line “parents present” in this act, the deputy director of the orphanage for water resources management is indicated, in the column “Family” - Zaitsevsky orphanage, eight children are mentioned as family members, including Vasily and his older brother, “occupied living space” is described as follows: "72 sq. m. in a group consisting of 2 rooms: a playroom and a bedroom, where there are 11 beds and bedside tables, there is a place for classes.

    The act states that for all children, “the parents either died or were deprived of parental rights ... There are 8 people in the group, all practically the same age, they study at the Likinskaya secondary school.” In the column "relationships with roommates" it is indicated that "relationships with classmates are satisfactory, friendly."

    Vasily Lykshin on the set of the series "Ranetki" (2008).

    The conclusion of the act is stated as follows: “Leisure employment is necessary, as well as increased control over their whereabouts in the evening and at night (by the Zaitsevsky orphanage).”

    "Honest, smart, cheerful, cheerful and deeply decent person"

    By this time, an event occurred in the life of Vasily Lykshin that radically changed his fate.

    The Moscow film director, known by that time as a documentary filmmaker, Svetlana Stasenko was looking for an actor to play the role of the boy Misha in a film with the working title "Mishka" (came out as "Angel on the Roadside").

    As Kommersant wrote on April 16, 2004 in the Weekend app, main character film - a sixteen-year-old provincial Mishka, who earns a piece of bread with thieves' songs in a tavern. Mishka's mom and dad are not up to their son, hanging around the doorways and humming Beatles tunes to his only friend, the dog Ringo. But neither the dog nor the familiar angel who met the guy in the wasteland save Mishka from a gloomy future. After the death of a bandit friend who patronized him, having killed his killer with a pistol shot, he ends up in prison, from where he leaves only after seven years. During this time, everything has changed in the country: the political system, fashionable music, the way people dress and talk. But the angel who inspired Mishka to write poetry and songs meets him again. The matured musician gathers his own rock band and goes to conquer Moscow.

    Svetlana Stasenko looked through and set aside the cassettes with samples of about 400 children, until, finally, she came across Vasily Lykshin's recording made in the Zaitsev Orphanage. Later, Svetlana said: “The boy only said that his name was Vasya, that he loves the Russian language and football. When asked how he studies, he answered that he was average. And then he thought (it was evident that he was ashamed) and corrected himself: “No way.” Since then, I have loved him for the rest of my life."

    Turning to the orphanage in search of a future actor, Svetlana found out that Lykshin was no longer there, he was in Sebezh, in a special school.

    And they went to Sebezh, for their Vasily, with a petition handwritten on the letterhead of the Independent Experimental Center for Culture and Information (NETSKI) named after Savva Kulish: “To the Director of Sebezh SPU No. 1 of the closed type, Mr. Semenov S. G. Savva Kulish started shooting the full-length feature film "Bear", screenwriter and director Svetlana Stasenko. The film is about a boy who dreams of becoming a musician and eventually achieves his goal. We ask for your permission to involve Vasily Lykshin, a pupil of your school, born in 87, from 10.07.02 to 30.08.02 for the main role. Shooting is carried out in the city of Moscow and in Noginsk (Moscow region)."

    Sergei Semenov was at first taken aback by the unexpected request, and then agreed to let Vasily Lykshin go on vacation (there is such a form of encouragement at the school) - to shoot in Moscow. Moreover, he gave an escort from the school, a social teacher (all expenses were paid by the film crew).

    Svetlana Stasenko calls Sergei Semenov "an amazing person."

    "Angel on the Roadside" turned the whole life of not only Vasily Lykshin, but also Svetlana Stasenko. She and her husband decided to establish guardianship over Vasily and take him into their home. A wise decision was implemented tactfully: the teenager's mother is alive, after the death of her first husband she remarried, gave birth to her son Valery and tried to start another life. But my stepfather suffered the same trouble - he drank.

    However, from the very beginning of Vasily's stay in Sebezh, the school began to build bridges precisely with former family well knowing, of course, that the mother is deprived of parental rights. Social pedagogue Margarita Ivanova told Vasily's mother Tatyana in October 2002: “Vasya is in Moscow, lives in the family of the film director Svetlana Stasenko and studies at the physics and mathematics school at the institute. Tutors work with him. Vasya is making progress, fours have already appeared. Now the film studio is dubbing the film and there will be winter shooting ... The administration of the special school decided to release Vasily from the school ahead of schedule, to give him the opportunity to study and act in films.

    The director of the film and the main director take a great part in the fate of Vasily, they want to help him get an education and a profession ...

    The administration of the school must apply to the court with a petition. The film studio is ready to support our petition… Tatyana Vyacheslavovna, for a positive resolution of this issue, it is desirable that you apply to the court [with an application] for the restoration of parental rights… Discuss this issue in the family and inform the special school about the decision… You can call Vasya by phone:… The school can be contacted by phone:…”

    The NETSKI studio saw in the fate of Vasily Lykshin the case when any person has the opportunity to fulfill the duty of mercy and participation. An official petition was sent to Sergei Semenov: “The NETSKI Studio supports the request of the film crew of the film “Mishka” and petitions for the early release of Vasily Lykshin, a pupil of the SPU… We are concerned about the fate of such a gifted boy. Already now, after viewing the footage, several film crews became interested in Vasily. We and our partners (Mosfilm Cinema Concern, R. Bykov Center for Children and Youth Cinema, Mirabel Studio) will support V. Lykshin in developing his talent.

    The director of the film "Bear", laureate of international film festivals S. Stasenko, the film crew, the administration of the studio - everyone is ready to make every effort to return the boy to normal life."

    The creative team of the film “The Bear” wrote in their petition and description: “Vasily Sergeevich Lykshin was invited to our creative team as the leading actor. During the work he proved himself with the most better side, turned out to be a very disciplined, responsible and hardworking worker, infecting even adult and experienced actors with his tirelessness ... Large material values ​​\u200b\u200bwere calmly entrusted to him ... Vasily is internally organized, collected, very sociable and charming in communication ... Vasily did not get "star fever", remained the same modest and unpretentious. Vasily is very honest, does not hide his mistakes and mistakes. We all fell in love with Vasily Sergeevich very much - an honest, intelligent, cheerful, cheerful and deeply decent person and are very worried about his future. I would like our Vasily Sergeevich to successfully complete 11 classes, receive higher education and was able to choose a profession that corresponded to his mind, talent and remarkable character ... For our part, we will try to do everything possible so that he does not repeat the stupid childhood “exploits”, and you will never regret your decision to meet our request. We are sure that Vasily, with his great talent and diligence, has a great acting future."

    Under the petition and the characteristic from the creative team were dozens of signatures.

    In the final description of Vasily Lykshin, signed by the head teacher and director of the Sebezh school (in that order) on November 18, 2002 and sent to the court, it was written:

    “Vasily is hardworking, responsible, not afraid of any work, he worked conscientiously in the link, cleaning up the territory, in the educational facility. You can always rely on him, he feels responsible for the honor of the team (when preparing a general school event, on the last day he himself prepared a performance for a sick comrade in addition to his own).

    ... Vasya is a proud boy with a certain amount of stubbornness. He firmly defends his opinion ... He quickly adapted to the team of pupils.

    Vasily is sociable, lively, likes to joke, his laughter is often heard, but he has comments on behavior, because he is unrestrained, not always neat.

    The pupil is characterized by such traits as justice, striving for high performance, high demands on himself and others, perseverance in achieving the goal. Vasily has strong will, it helps him in overcoming difficulties.

    The young man is very warm towards his mother, relatives, who are in the Zaitsevsky orphanage. Corresponds with them, often remembers, talks about his life at home and in the orphanage.

    Vasily, taking part in test shootings before arriving at the school, talked about it, did not boast, did not become conceited.

    It is easy to get in touch with a teenager if you let him feel an interest in him as a person. Build relationships on the basis of respect ... "

    Compare this document with the description from the Likinskaya school of the Yudinsky police department. Two worlds, two childhoods, two people.

    On December 6, 2002, the director of the Sebezh special school, Sergei Semyonov, sent a submission to the Sebezh district court about the early release from Vasily Lykshin of the school, ending with the following argument: “In accordance with paragraph 1 of Art. 3 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child in the interests of the pupil, the administration of the Sebezh Special Vocational School No. 1 of a closed type petitions for the release of Lykshin Vasily from the school.

    The legal representative of Vasily's interests in court was the social pedagogue Margarita Ivanova.

    On December 9, 2002, Lyubov Borisenko, a judge of the Sebezh District Court, granted the petition. The court ruled “to terminate the stay of Lykshin Vasily Sergeevich ... in the Sebezh special. PU No. 1 of a closed type according to the decision of the Odintsovo City Court of the Moscow Region dated March 4, 2002 ahead of schedule by 7 months 7 days.

    For his role in "Angel on the Roadside" Vasily Lykshin, the only Russian actor, was awarded the "Oscar for the Young" - "Young Artist Awards" in the USA.

    In the finale, Lykshin's hero dies. In one of the first interviews, the 15-year-old actor said: "Such people leave early, there's nothing to be done about it."

    Life after school was not cloudless for Vasily Lykshin, but it was a movement forward.

    It took courage and patience from Svetlana Stasenko. In an interview, Vasily Lykshin admitted, recalling with gratitude his foster family, in which he lived for several years until adulthood, that Svetlana "spoiled him very much", but old habits made themselves felt from time to time, and "she and her husband endured." However, there was no breakdown.

    A farewell article in the Odintsovo newspaper tells how, having lived for three years in Moscow, in the family of Svetlana Stasenko, Vasily decided to return to his mother, in the village of Gorki-2. His first fee was 12 thousand dollars, and it seemed to him crazy, endless money. He wanted to immediately help his mother, his older sister and brother, and especially his younger one, Valerka, dreamed of making repairs in their three-room apartment in the barracks, and taking his mother abroad. But the money ran out quickly, his relatives did not stop drinking, and did not start working. Meanwhile, he got huge debts for housing - the family did not pay anything for the apartment and services for years.

    When there were no film roles, he worked as a loader, set builder, security guard. He mostly gave money to his relatives.

    But the main personal meeting in his life took place: he managed, he found Lena, who then worked as a journalist and lived in Kaluga. They merried. Daughter Kira was born.

    After the death of his mother, Vasily took custody of his ten-year-old half-brother Valera. When it became known about the death of Vasily Lykshin, immediately after the funeral (!) Local guardianship authorities took Valery directly from school, from lessons, to be registered in an orphanage. Now Valera, as happens with all children who are taken to an orphanage, is in quarantine in the infectious disease department of the hospital. Having become a widow, Lena, not recovering from the death of her husband, hastily draws up documents for guardianship. Hope to be on time.

    What, what can teach human relation to the people of the Russian guardianship and guardianship?

    Svetlana Stasenko told Pskovskaya Gubernia that she and all her relatives were completely shocked by the sudden death of the actor and only a few weeks later they hope to receive a medical report. She recalls how at first she and her husband taught Vasily to “normal food”, how six months after the boy was accepted into the family, he underwent a complete medical examination in Moscow, which found nothing but flat feet, even chronic gastritis and bronchitis for such children were gone. . But on Friday, October 16th, he complained of fatigue and pain in his heart. Severe fatigue? In Gorki-2, the house where everything happened, according to Svetlana, "there is no medical support," the doctors who arrived simply stated death.

    In one of the interviews, Vasily said that as a child, he "broken his nose eight times." Someone wrote on the Web that, looking at the photo of Lykshin, he drew attention to a severely curved nasal septum, which could be the cause of increased intracranial pressure, fraught with a stroke. Svetlana recalls that the operation to straighten the septum was in their plans, but Vasily was afraid of it and did not dare to carry it out.

    Whether it was possible to save a person is still unknown. In any case, this knowledge will not fix anything now.

    Svetlana Stasenko and her friends performed a feat of mercy and accepted someone else's child, a difficult child, as their own, dear. They gave him eight years of a full life - a bright, rare one that a boy from a dysfunctional family could not even count on. And the tragedy that took place, which cut short the life of Vasily Lykshin at its very beginning, now coexists forever with the triumph of philanthropy, which is not interrupted by the death of a young man. Perhaps Vasily's death makes the perfect unfamiliar, strangers to him until a certain moment, people, especially significant.

    Vasily Lykshin became a living symbol of the school for the Sebezh special school - the "ugly duckling" that turned into a swan.

    We are sitting late Sunday evening with Sergei Semyonov in his office. He recalls how Vasily Lykshin came to Sebezh for the 40th anniversary of the school in 2004 and suddenly said that he misses the school very much.

    They closely followed his human and acting fate. Remembering his pupil well, Sergei Semenov is trying to understand what could have happened and recalls that in Ranetki Vasily is not very similar to himself, sunny and cheerful, "as if something is oppressing him."

    Here, in the school, the fate of these "wounded animals" is known by heart. Hundreds, thousands of destinies. A lot of tragedy. A family destroyed in childhood, shaken, often undermined life roots. It is very difficult to get back on your feet, to return to a stable, fulfilling life. Few succeed in this. But everyone is trying to "put on the wing" here.

    On the memorial line at the school, Sergei Semyonov spoke with difficulty, barely holding back tears.

    When, after the funeral (and the first reports of the death of Vasily Lykshin on the Web are dated October 20), the sad news reached the school in Sebezh, mourning was declared.

    On Friday, October 23, all pupils and staff, led by Sergei Semenov, went to summer camp, located on the shores of Lake Bolshoye Olbito, 30 km from Sebezh, where they installed a large cross on a natural hill. In a neighboring quarry, each of the pupils chose a stone - a symbol of their life problems. Pupil Artyom Razumov, whom Sergei Semenov calls "God's man", was instructed to find a stone for Vasily Lykshin. He searched for a long time and finally chose a large, heavy black pebble stone. The stones were carried up to the hill in their hands and there they laid them at the foot of the cross.

    Where did this black stone fall from, where did this black stone return to the life of Vasily Lykshin?

    What did the dark news about the death of a young man bring to the young minds of the pupils of the Sebezh Special School? What did she say, what did she explain, what did she make me think?

    In the dormitory building of the school in the foyer of the first floor there is a large bright poster of the film "Angel on the Roadside" with the young Vasily Lykshin. No mourning tape. He applauds. So the actors leave - to applause. Sometimes - as it happens with people - very early, suddenly and inexplicably.

    Looking at this photo, I thought that Vasily was applauding those who, despite everything, were able to see him as a person and give him another bright life, impossible by any rational logic.

    This life was terribly, unfairly short.

    But she didn't pass by.

    Sebezh - Pskov

    1 See: M. Kuzmina. Pushkin met Andersen // "PG", No. 43 (412) of October 29 - November 4, 2008

    2 Commission on juvenile affairs.

    3 Convention on the Rights of the Child, adopted by the UN on November 20, 1989, paragraph 1 of Art. 3: “In all actions concerning children, whether undertaken by public or private welfare agencies, courts, administrative or legislative bodies, the best interests of the child shall be a primary consideration.”

    He managed to star in only a few films. But in what! The young actor from the “youngster zone” was predicted a great future. And she remained in her present.

    Vasily Lykshin was serving a sentence in a juvenile colony. And, like most of his "colleagues in misfortune", his criminal future was destined for him in bright ink.

    But the visiting director liked this boy, who was not easy in character, he was taken to audition for a movie, and after a short time he woke up as a star. "Angel on the Roadside", "Gromovs", "Bastards", "Ranetki" - these are all very big films, and Lykshin was not the last figure there.

    It was rumored that a talented boy would stay in Russia for a short time - it was just right for him to go to conquer Hollywood. And he took it, came home, went to bed and ... did not wake up. About what caused the unexpected and very strange death of a twenty-two-year-old full of strength man, in society are still arguing.

    Difficult child from a dysfunctional family

    Vasya Lykshin was born in the freezing winter of 1987. He was born into a family in which he initially had no prospects ... to survive. The father and mother were hopeless alcoholics who had long ago given up on themselves and their children.

    In such situations, disaster is not far off and, in the end, the welfare authorities, tired of instructing would-be parents on the right path, simply sent Vasya and his brother and sister to an orphanage.

    Much later, Lykshin learns that his father is no longer alive, and his mother remarried and gave birth to another unfortunate child. When the woman took her orphanage “cuckoos” home, the children, of course, were in seventh heaven with happiness.

    True, the children's joy was short-lived. new husband Mom turned out to be her next drinking buddy, the woman herself still drank soundly, it was a rolling ball in the house, but booze and scandals rolled up every day.

    Vasily went along the same path. As a teenager, he already smoked with might and main, drank, hooligans so that at school and on the street everyone hated him fiercely - both teachers and children and their parents.

    Then the hooligan life ended in a criminal case. Vasily and his friends robbed someone else's dacha, taking all the food they could find from there. There was simply nothing to eat at home, and the stomach was cramping from hunger all the time.

    Here to feel sorry for the boys. Scold, intimidate and let go. Why cripple fate with prison? Only now the dacha, as it turned out, belonged to a rather big rank. So, it was not possible to put the brakes on the matter.

    And then there's the director of the school where Lykshin studied, wrote such a description of him that his hair stood on end. Missing lessons, rudeness to teachers, rudeness, fights, theft, broken windows, etc., etc.

    The principal of the school was probably not an evil person. It’s just that Vasily, as they said, at school “really got everyone.” The characterization became the last “nail” in Lykshin’s fate. Not finding a single mitigating circumstance, the judge easily sent the boy to the colony. Vasily had to spend the next few years on the "youngster".

    Pass to another life

    When director Svetlana Stasenko decided to shoot her "Angel on the Roadside", she did not think that it would be so difficult to find an actor for the role of the young street singer Mishka.

    Dozens of unsuccessful auditions and actors reviewed forced the director to expand the search for candidates. Now they were looking not only among professional artists. But everything was decided by His Majesty Chance.

    Once Svetlana Stasenko was watching a video filmed in one of the orphanages. And here the experienced eye of the director, among dozens of other boys and girls, pulled out Vasya Lykshin. And Svetlana realized - that's who exactly will play Mishka.

    How surprised Stasenko was when she found out that the former orphanage resident was already serving his sentence in a children's colony. Everything seemed to be a bummer. But the director did not give up, went to the zone, reached the boss himself and with great, great difficulty, but begged him to let the juvenile delinquent go to the shooting.

    Stasenko assumed that Lykshin would have to tinker with film set. However, Vasily played surprisingly easily and beautifully. Perhaps because he actually played himself.

    The protagonist of the film, Mishka, made a living by singing thieves on the street and in taverns. His family, like Lykshin's, was dysfunctional. Due to circumstances, Mishka ends up in prison, and after his release, he does not follow a crooked path, but goes to conquer Moscow with his talent.

    The film "Angel on the Roadside", as they say, "shot". And yesterday's young "convict" Vasily Lykshin woke up as a star. And not just a star, but also with a chance to start a new life.

    Nadezhda Stasenko did everything to prevent the guy from going back to the colony. At first, she made sure that Lykshin was given to her on bail. And then she adopted him altogether.

    In Vasily, in fact, everything went differently. A few years ago, he robbed other people's dachas so as not to die of hunger, and now he received serious fees, he was recognized on the street, and the future played with bright rainbow colors.

    In 2008, Vasya fell in love with a girl Lena and, without thinking twice, invited her to become his wife. He was not even stopped by the fact that the girl already had a six-year-old son from a previous marriage. A year later, the couple had a daughter. We lived well, and it seemed that it would always be so ...

    Bad luck or malice?

    Lykshin's career ran by leaps and bounds. The series "Ranetki" has just been released, after which the artist's star shone even brighter.

    Trouble did not portend absolutely nothing. It was October 16, 2009. Vasily, at the request of the director, drove to the film studio to reshoot a couple of small scenes of the film in which he was filming. And the next evening he returned home and, feeling tired, immediately went to bed. And he didn't wake up again.

    The death in a dream of a man who is only twenty-two caused a real shock to everyone who knew him. And, of course, in society they began to discuss one version of his death after another, each of which was worse than the previous one.

    Nobody wanted to believe in a stroke, as in the official version. Although the experts literally spoke on the fingers about the causes of the tragedy. Allegedly, as a result of several old fractures (hello, crazy youth), Vasily had a severely deviated nasal septum. And at some point he had a sharp jump in intracranial pressure.

    If he was during the day, on his feet and surrounded by people, there could be chances to save him. But Lykshin was sleeping and, not feeling anything, lost consciousness right in his sleep. And then…he died. In less than twenty-three years. Just started to really live...

    By the way, supporters of the "radical" versions of the artist's death, who expressed distrust of the official diagnosis, were Lykshin's widow. Elena that night was visiting her mother with the children. And it was she who, having returned home in the morning, could not wake Vasily.

    The girl publicly stated that her husband was killed. According to her, money and some valuables were missing from the apartment. But if this is so, how could unknown criminals send an actor to the other world in such a cunning way? This is just one of many questions left unanswered after that sudden tragedy.

    The stroke remained on the death certificate, however, many moviegoers are sure that no one simply wanted to deal with this matter. This means that the secret of the death of the talented actor Vasily Lykshin still remains ... a secret.

    Vasily Lykshin - young Russian actor, which, according to movie experts, expected incredible success in Hollywood. He was one of those nuggets who, as they say, "got a lucky lottery ticket." But, apparently, fate decreed differently, and in 2009 the guy died. This event shocked millions of people, since no one even suspected that this could happen.

    Childhood

    Vasily Lykshin, whose biography is filled with both positive and negative events, was born in 1987 on January 27. The boy's family was, to put it mildly, dysfunctional. Vasya's parents were deprived in 1997 parental rights due to constant drunkenness, and the boy was sent to the orphanage where he lived and studied. Together with him, his brother and sister were left without parental care; in the orphanage, the children learned that their mother had given birth to another child.

    A year later, Lykshin's dad passed away, and my mother decided to start a new life, got married and took her children. The life of the family has not changed much, except that the stepfather did not drink so often.

    Wrong turn

    Vasily Lykshin, whose photo you see in this article, fully corresponded to the image of a child from Already at the age of 7, the guy smoked and drank, broke the law more than once, but because of his small age he was always released. At school, the guy studied very poorly, while he was constantly rude to teachers and did not find common language with peers. One fine day of such a slovenly life, the boy ended up in prison.

    Together with their friends, they decided to sneak into the dacha of a certain general. Their goal was not the desire to steal something, the guys just really wanted to eat. Vasily and his friends could not even imagine that numerous cameras were located on the territory. The police took the guys right from the crime scene. The verdict was not in favor of Vasya, and he ended up in

    Chance given by fate

    The famous director Svetlana Stasenko held another casting for her film "Angel on the Roadside", but not one child did not meet her requirements. Quite by chance, she had a film in her hands, which she once shot in an orphanage, and suddenly Vasily Lykshin appeared on the screen ... Svetlana was sure that this particular guy should play the main role in her film.

    The director's assistants found the boy in the colony, and they managed to persuade the head of the institution to let the guy go for the duration of the filming. Vasya set his conditions to the director that he would act in the film only if this time is counted in his term.

    The role was given to the guy very easily, since, in fact, he played himself - a boy from a dysfunctional family who ended up in prison. Lykshin behaved very responsibly, like a true professional, and soon the entire film crew fell in love with the boy. The film was appreciated not only by ordinary viewers, but also by specialists. Young Vasily Lykshin received the Young Artist Awards, which is given exclusively to

    New family

    Filming is over, awards have been handed out, and there is only one question left: “What to do with the little prisoner?” Svetlana could not refuse such a talented and sincere boy and return him to prison again, the director decided to adopt Vasya. This is how the boy's life has changed dramatically, now he is popular and lives in a good family. A year later, Vasily Lykshin, an actor who achieved everything only with his work and talent, took part in the filming of the sensational film "Bastards" and in the TV series "Gromovs".

    According to the guy, it was difficult for him to get used to new family and its rules, since for a long time he lived according to the laws of the colony and the orphanage. In one of his interviews, Vasya told how he drank a lot, skipped his fees, even brought the girls home. For such behavior, he is very ashamed in front of Sveta and her children, but he had such a period. As soon as Lykshin turned 18, he thanked his foster mother and decided to return to his family. Acting positively influenced the guy and dramatically changed his character. He became more responsible, responsive and stopped going downhill. In 2008, Vasya married a girl, Lena, who at that time already had a son, Nikita, 6 years old. She worked as a journalist, and fate brought them together with Vasya. The following year, the couple had a common daughter, who was named Kira.

    An unexpected tragedy

    Vasily never suffered and he accepted each new role with gratitude. Then the guy received an excellent offer - to take part in the filming of the popular series "Ranetki". This series was his last. Vasily Lykshin, whose cause of death was a shock to many, arrived at the site on October 16, 2009 to film in several scenes. The group claims that everything was as always, the guy felt fine. On the 17th, Vasya returned home and went to bed, at night his heart stopped beating. The reason for what happened is completely incomprehensible, since the young man felt good and did not complain about anything.

    Vasya had a severely deviated nasal septum, as his nose was broken about 8 times. It was this that could provoke a sharp increase in intracranial pressure, which caused a stroke. This is one version of what happened. The widow of the guy does not believe in chance and says that her husband was killed.

    Unfulfilled dreams

    Vasily Lykshin dreamed of playing many more roles, especially he wanted to try to bring to life the image of a negative hero. In addition, he had a goal to buy himself a small but cozy house on the seashore, where he would live with his family. Fate decided differently, and the guy left, leaving loving wife and a little daughter, who on the day of his death said the word "dad" for the first time.
