Kramarov wanted, rather, to simply get rid of the icons than to make money. Over the years, he began to take an interest in his roots: he became interested in Judaism, began visiting a synagogue, and doing yoga. Orthodox icons did not fit into the actor’s new lifestyle, but the desire to “sell” his collection almost cost Kramarov his freedom.

This time the sentence was even more severe. Sergei was sentenced to 4 years in prison. Then 4.5 years for theft and possession of drugs and 1.5 years for disobedience to camp authorities and repeated violation of the regime.

In prison, Sergei Shevkunenko acquired the nicknames “Chief” and “Actor” and considerable authority in criminal circles.

Once upon a time the Satire Theater, where the actor served Vladimir Dolinsky, was preparing to go on tour to Sweden. During the years of Soviet power, it was allowed to exchange no more than 30 US dollars for a trip to a capitalist country. When the trip failed, Dolinsky sold this modest amount with a profit of 200 rubles, which at that time was the monthly salary of a skilled worker...

After this, Vladimir began to engage in currency speculation, and in 1973 he was “caught” by the KGB. He spent a year in the Lefortovo detention center and then received five years in prison. At the request of many famous actors Dolinsky's sentence was reduced to 4 years.

Boris Yurchenko, who played in the film “The Living and the Dead,” was in prison for hooliganism in his youth. Once, after drinking heavily with friends, he beat a man very badly. Witnesses to the crime called the police, and the guy was restrained on the spot.

Actor Igor Petrenko At the age of 15 he was involved in a murder. His friend Sasha, who owed another friend 100,000 rubles, suggested removing the creditor. The victim was shot, and the apartment was vandalized, simulating a robbery.

The next day the criminals were tied up...

Petrenko was given eight years probation, taking into account his age at the time of the crime and the positive reviews about him at the Shchepkinsky Theater School - he had already become a student.

Famous comedian Saveliy Kramarov He made his living by walking with a friend to remote churches in Pskov and Novgorod and luring out icons for next to nothing. Smuggled some things abroad...

The friends were caught and kept in police custody for several days. But then they released me due to influential acquaintances’ efforts. When the artist emigrated to the USA, he was obliged to leave all his antiques in the USSR. Savely had to sell the most valuable things and use the proceeds to purchase unique stamps. He hid them between the sheets family album and brought it to the West.

In the summer of 1997, the actor Victor Kosykh, who as a child played such famous roles as Kostya Inochkin from “Welcome, or No Trespassing”, and Danka from “The Elusive Avengers”, became the unwitting culprit of the tragedy.

Together with his son, he was driving his Zhiguli in the Moscow metro area “Vladykino”. Suddenly pedestrians began to cross his path. Victor was forced to turn sharply towards the summer cafe. As a result, three men sitting at the tables were injured.

Kosykh himself was taken to the trauma department with numerous bruises, his son received a concussion. The court acquitted the actor.

Georgy Yumatov in March 1994, he shot a janitor with a hunting rifle who was helping the actor bury his beloved dog Frosya, who had died the day before.

Yumatov, according to Article 103 of the Criminal Code, faced imprisonment for a term of 3 to 10 years. But the lawyer was able to prove that the janitor was the first to attack the actor with a knife. As a result, two months later Georgy Alexandrovich was released from Matrosskaya Tishina on his own recognizance. Then, as a front-line soldier, he was granted an amnesty on the 50th anniversary of the Victory, and at the end of 1995 the case was closed.

Alexey Katyshev- Ivanushka from the film fairy tales of the legendary Alexander Rowe - recalled with a shudder: “Once I and two friends got very drunk in the company of two girls. One lady left, but the second stayed. Well, my friends even... They regarded this as consent to a closer acquaintance. At that time I was sleeping in the next room. And a couple of days later I was arrested on charges of rape...”

Fortunately, the girl withdrew the statement from the police in exchange for the consent of one of the rapists to marry her. In this way, the actor managed to avoid a criminal record...

Actor Arkady Shalolashvili worked at the Maly Drama Theater in St. Petersburg. He starred in 18 films, the most famous of which are “The Island of Lost Ships”, “A Lost Cause”, “He Came on Memorial Day”, “Three Percent Risk”... Unfortunately, he used his talent not only on stage and on the silver screen, but also for criminal purposes. Part of the criminal group of the Sediuk brothers, better known as Kolya-Karate and McKenna, he used his acting and directing talent to defraud businessmen and did it brilliantly. Members of the gang, which included more than 100 fighters, greatly respected Shalolashvili and called him nothing less than Arkady Palych. When he was arrested, such famous people as Mikhail Boyarsky and Konstantin Raikin interceded on his behalf. Around 1995, Arkady Shalolashvili died of cirrhosis.

December 17, 1973 film director Sergei Parajanov was arrested on charges of homosexuality with the use of violence (Article 122, parts 1, 2 of the Criminal Code of the Ukrainian SSR)…

Parajanov was sentenced to 5 years in prison, but could have served a long term - Sergei Iosifovich was accused of five articles of the Criminal Code of the Ukrainian SSR, which he allegedly violated, in particular, “nationalism”, “speculation in antiques”, “violence against members of the CPSU” ...

At the heart of Parajanov’s case, his friends and biographers say, is a joint action by the cultural department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Ukraine and the republican KGB. It turns out that Parajanov constantly reviled some employee of the Central Committee in the field of culture... The authorities acted very carefully - they imprisoned Parajanov for homosexuality. They say that in the USSR this is punishable by law... and there is no politics...
