Alexey Serebryakov told why he moved to Canada, how he now deals with children, what his children have learned while living in Toronto, and when he is going to return to Russia.

Over the past five years, Alexei Serebryakov has starred in more than twenty domestic films: in "Leviathan" by Andrey Zvyagintsev, which won the Cannes Film Festival prize for the best screenplay; series "Method"; Fartsa, Doctor Richter; the film of the young director "How Vitka Garlic Carried Leha Shtyr to the Home for Invalids"; historical fantasy film "The Legend of Kolovrat". Alexey flies to the set from Canada, where he moved with his wife Maria and children much more than six years ago.

Serebryakov spoke about life abroad in an interview with Yuri Dudyu, where he once again, without hesitation in expressions, criticized the Russian mentality. And he received a portion of criticism in response - netizens reacted negatively to the harsh statements of the actor.

Eminent persons also joined the outrage: Karen Shakhnazarov reproached Alexey that it was ugly and dishonorable to scold the country where he earned a lot of money, and Alexander Pankratov-Cherny did not agree with Serebryakov's words about the rudeness and arrogance of Russians.

Serebryakov's idea of ​​moving was aggravated in the summer of 2010, when people in Moscow suffered from heat and smog, - the actor admitted this publicly and a year later brought his plans to life. Reproaches and threats immediately rained down on the artist: "Come back, we will meet you with dignity." But the opinion of those around him did not bother the actor - Alexey decided to emigrate for the sake of his family.

« I made my choice deliberately. First of all, I want my family to live in peace. So that my children know: you don't have to push your elbows to live. I'm pretty tired of rudeness and rudeness. It's okay all over the world to live where you feel better", Says the actor.

Serebryakov did not face the choice of a country; he and his family moved to Canada, since his wife has the citizenship of this country (under this condition, one does not have to pay for medical care for his daughter, sons and wife). For Serebryakov himself, services remain paid. Recently, the actor was admitted to the hospital - he did not voice the reason, limiting himself to the short "I was saved" - and gave $ 9,000 for 5 days of treatment.

In Toronto, the family settled in a townhouse. His own house, far from people who could recognize a popular actor in Serebryakov, gave the introverted man peace of mind - no one approached him for a joint picture or autograph. In the north, where the Russian diaspora lives, Alexei appears rather rarely. " And even when I am, she behaves quite delicately. No one, thank God, pays special attention to me, and no one runs to hug me", - the artist shared.

Alexey's sons, Daniil and Stepan, attend a private school, which costs Serebryakov $ 24,000 a year. Children do not face bullying among classmates, because the chosen educational institution in Toronto is not an ordinary school, "where everyone and everyone goes, and everyone does not study together." Serebryakov also recalled his daughter's former school kindly: Daria's class teacher did not speak Russian, but she communicated with Alexei - she wrote in English and used a computer translator.


According to Serebryakov, his children in Canada have learned to respond with a smile to the smile of passers-by on the street, respect the rights of others, have mastered English and are ready to learn more than one language. The father himself was able to devote more time to his family, which was not enough ahead of time:
« I am engaged in children - this is something that I have not been particularly successful here. Business, problems, jumped up, ran, solve something, meet with someone. There I am deprived of this fuss, I have enough free time, I can finally talk with them, play. How was the day at school, who they are friends with, who they like, who they are in love with - for me it suddenly became very important. Because I realized that otherwise I could lose them».

However, there are problems in the relationship between the sons and the father - the reason for this is the transitional age. Serebryakov may shout at the boys - the last time the conflict happened was because of smoking: Alexei himself suffers from a bad habit, but does not want Styopa and Danya to repeat his mistakes.

Serebryakov always speaks of the heirs as their own children, but the boys are adopted. Two-year-old at that time, Danila Alexey and Maria adopted 13 years ago, three-year-old Stepa - a year later. In a few years, Serebryakov's sons will enter universities in Canada or other countries, then the actor plans to return to Russia.

« This is not immigration, when people left for good 30-35 years ago. It's just an attempt to live in a different territory. I continue to work in Russia. Wherever I live, I remain a citizen of Russia", Says Alexei Serebryakov.

Director, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Culture Vladimir Bortko would not invite Alexei Serebryakov, who starred in his TV series "Gangster Petersburg", to cooperate. He believes that now the actor will no longer be offered roles in Russian cinema at all. Bortko called Serebryakov's statements "evidence of stupidity and meanness," REN TV reports.

ON THIS TOPIC

The head of "Mosfilm" Karen Shakhnazarov adheres to the same point of view. In addition, he believes that Serebryakov is earning advantages in his new homeland by making rude statements about Russia. Six years ago, the artist left for Canada, but did not renounce Russian citizenship.

Recall that Alexei Serebryakov said in an interview with journalist Yuri Dudyu that the national idea of ​​Russia is strength, arrogance and rudeness. After that, famous people and ordinary users of social networks criticized him. Nevertheless, the actor did not refuse his words.

The artist's words are only one of a million opinions, said director Andrei Konchalovsky. "To be honest, I have nothing but sympathy for Alyosha. I hope that he will continue to act in Russia to live, because hardly anyone needs him there," said the director. Earlier, Serebryakov admitted that no one needs him as an actor in his new homeland, so he will continue to work in Russian projects.

I strongly disagree with my colleague Alexander Pankratov-Cherny. The actor is sure: intelligence and good manners are inherent in all strata of Russian society, but much depends on upbringing. In turn, Mikhail Porechenkov recalled that Russians have never been rude. According to the artist, he often travels around our country and meets only wonderful people.

Visiting Dudya Serebryakov said that he did not consider himself a Russophobe. And he emphasized that he does not pay attention to the opinion of the public - the only thing that matters to the actor is what his spouse thinks of him. Serebryakov stressed that the dashing 90s did not remain in the past - one can be convinced of this by driving 30 kilometers away from Moscow. According to him, the national idea of ​​the country is in strength, impudence and rudeness.

The reaction of Internet users was unanimous - rudeness is inherent in Serebryakov himself, who, after moving to Canada, forgot where he was born and who gave him an education. The Russian science fiction writer Sergei Lukyanenko agrees with them: the artist perfectly illustrated two of the listed qualities by his example - arrogance and rudeness.

Lukyanenko described the situation as a sad situation when a "generally good actor" earns money in a country that he despises and hates. However, according to the writer, it is even more unpleasant to watch Serebryakov get invited to act in films and get paid for it.

Alexey Serebryakov is a popular Russian actor. He has been playing in films since childhood and was especially popular in the 90s. Later he starred in bright, but not always successful films of various genres. The second wave of worldwide popularity came to Alexei after the release of the sensational film "Leviathan", which became largely scandalous in Russia and was warmly received abroad.

Childhood and youth

The future actor was born in the summer of 1964 in the capital of the USSR. Alexei's father was an engineer, and his mother held the position of a full-time doctor in Gorky's studio. Alexey was an excellent student and, in addition to general education, attended a music school, which played a huge role in the fate of Serebryakov.

The future actor first entered the world of cinema thanks to the directors of "Mosfilm", being a 13-year-old boy. A photo of Serebryakov, in which he played the button accordion, fell into the hands of the assistants. This incident predetermined the biography of Alexei. During the filming of the film "Father and Son" they were looking for an actor for the role of the son of the main character.

Also, the young artist got a similar role in the serial film "". He became his film father, whom Alexei turned out to be like. The television movie received all-Union fame, and many members of the film crew became laureates of the USSR State Prize.


By the end of school, Alexei Serebryakov had six main roles behind him. The desire to enter a theater university was not crowned with success: the entrance exams were failed. The steadfast guy tried to continue his studies at the Moscow Power Engineering Institute, but the matter did not move beyond admission.

The talented Serebryakov did not dare to spend years at the radio and television faculty when he received an offer to work at the Syzran theater. As a result, Alexei began to cooperate with the drama theater, although the young man at that time was only 17 years old.


The actor later recalled this act as an adventure. It was not even the salary of a professional actor or the recognition of the public that attracted him; he went to the provinces to "sow the rational, the good, the eternal" with youthful fervor. But Alexey worked in the theater for only one season and returned to Moscow, where he decided to continue his education.

In 1982, already a member of the artist decided to tempt fate and pass the entrance exams at the capital school. M.S.Schepkina. After 2 years, Alexey Serebryakov moved to GITIS. After another 2 years, he graduated from his studies and replenished the composition of the corpses of the studio under the command. In 1991, Serebryakov left the studio and began a new stage in his life. Subsequent performances with his participation took place on the stage of Taganka.

Films

Alexey's film career was also replenished with new roles. In 1989, he played a karate player in the film Fan, which brought him success and popularity. In 1991, Serebryakov played another combat role, practically the Russian analogue of Rambo, in the film Afghan Breakdown. The success of this picture was deafening. The main guarantee of her popularity was the performer of the main role - an Italian who was loved and known in Russia. For Alexei, the picture brought its share of popularity and love of fans.


The fame of the young talented personality grew rapidly. Numerous invitations to shoot films brought the artist another success and new experience. Films with Alexei Serebryakov were of a military-criminal nature, and also replenished the genre of action movies. The painting "Capital Measure" received a response from a wide audience. In 1998, there was another leap in his career - Serebryakov received the title of Honored Artist. But by the end of the millennium, the actor began to appear less and less and not in such box-office and rating projects. In the 2000s, the actor began to appear in TV series.

In 2000 he starred in the crime serial film "". His character became a member of the main love triangle of the series season. Alexey wanted to give up the role, but the director called the actor personally. The decisive factor for Serebryakov was that his old friends were supposed to become filming partners: and. Alexey agreed to play the role of a lawyer and made the right decision - the series became a cult show.


In 2003, Serebryakov played a selflessly devoted patriot in the film adaptation of Bayazet. The series narrated about an episode of the distant Russian-Turkish war, about the painful defense of the Bayazet fortress, but touched upon the themes of heroism and love for the motherland. Later, the actor took part in the filming of other famous films, including the films "", "Children of Vanyukhin", "Once upon a time there was a woman" and others. Later, the artist's repertoire was replenished with works in the drama "", the comedy "Gloss", the drama "Vise".

In 2009, the actor was invited to play a role in a film of a rare genre for Russia at that time - in the fantastic action movie Inhabited Island. Although the film did not pay off, it was a box office and had many positive reviews. The actor admitted that working on complex action scenes was an interesting experience. The film crew applied in practice techniques that were already used in the West, but were not yet present in Russian cinema.


At the same time, Aleksey was dissatisfied with the semantic component of the film. Despite the declared dystopian motives, the picture did not reveal its idea and vision of society, from the point of view of Serebryakov. The actor himself, even before filming, wrote 40 pages of edits and questions to the script, which could close logical inconsistencies and create a more believable world in terms of the desires and motivations of the characters. Only a small part of the edits was accepted, many inconsistencies were left for the sake of beautiful moments.

Serebryakova is upset with this approach. He believes that fiction can expose acute problems without risking backlash and accusations of insult, but modern film distributors do not like such films, they need entertainment and technological innovations.


After a series of successful projects ("Code of the Apocalypse", "", ""), there was another increase. Alexey Serebryakov was awarded the title of People's Artist of Russia, which contributed to further growth in his career.

In 2012, Alexey and his family left for Canada. This turned out to be not a temporary solution, and the actor still lives in this country. The act was not shocking or a sign of immature maximalism; the actor made the decision consciously and at a serious age. He was not stopped by any legal delays, nor the need to answer not only for himself, but also for his family, nor surprise and even condemnation from the audience and the press. At the same time, some of the fans reacted positively to the choice of the idol.


Over time, the actor's fan page appeared on Instagram, where photos of Serebryakov were posted along with quotes from his interview. At the same time, the actor continues to appear in Russian cinema. The fact that the actor lives in Canada does not prevent him from participating in various filming.

In 2012, Alexei Serebryakov starred in the fantasy family film “Fairy Tale. There is". In continuation of the male theme, the films "Agent" and "Ladoga" followed, which were widely recognized by the male audience. Serebryakov starred in the crime film "PiraMMMida", the melodrama "Terrorist Ivanova", the adaptation of "The White Guard", the popular TV series "Fartsa".


In 2014, Serebryakov played the main role in the social drama Leviathan, for both Western and Russian audiences. The actor became the representative of Russia in Cannes, which he is undoubtedly proud of. Leviathan was nominated for the Cannes Film Festival and won an award. Alexey Serebryakov was nominated for the European Film Academy Award for the main role in this film. He considers Leviathan to be his main painting.

The plot of the tape is based on the spirituality of the biblical character, but interpreted in a modern way. The material is presented in an accessible popular format. The controversy surrounding the plot of the picture and its disapproval did not prevent the film from being awarded worthy awards at foreign film festivals; Leviathan was nominated for an Oscar.


In 2014, Alexei Serebryakov decided to take Canadian citizenship, but he did not give up his Russian passport. He comes to Russia for filming at the invitation of directors, so the problem with the visa regime is not difficult for him.

The actor continues to act, as before leaving, mainly in dark social and dramatic projects. 2015 brought him roles in the Belarusian-American project "The Cain Code", which reinterprets the biblical story in a modern way, in the surreal drama "Clinch" and in the rating detective series "".


The latter is considered by critics a breakthrough for Russian cinema. Method became the first Russian TV series to reach first places in world ratings. Serebryakov played a maniac in one of the episodes.

In 2016, Alexei Serebryakov was offered a job in the TV series "", in which he played the role of a Russian. Also starred in the film, Polina Chernysheva,. The series was released in 2017.

Personal life

The artist's love has passed through the years. In 1980, having met a girl named Maria at a party, Serebryakov was not captivated by love, and Masha herself got married in Canada. In the early 90s, the girl came to Moscow to visit her parents and accidentally met Alexei.


A romance broke out between the young people. The future wife of Serebryakova dissolved her first marriage and began to live with a new chosen one. Maria Serebryakova is a professional dancer, at one time she worked in the folk dance ensemble named after, later was a choreographer at the theater. ...

Until 2012, Serebryakov lived with his wife and children in the Moscow region. The family has three children: the wife's daughter from her first marriage, Dasha, and the adopted brothers Stepan and Danila were taken from the orphanage.


In addition, the family also has four-legged companions. The actor has 5 dogs. Alexey and his pets constantly attract the attention of journalists as an example of friendship with animals - the actor picked up all four-legged animals on the street or took them in a shelter, without looking at the price and without chasing pedigree.

One of the dogs, Pushha, is disabled. Previous owners of the animal tied the dog to a tree so that it did not run after the people who had thrown it, that the crushed paw had to be amputated. Nevertheless, now Pusha lives a happy and satisfying life and even appears in social advertising.


In addition to helping homeless animals, the actor participates in the activities of the "Time to Live" charity foundation, which is also organized by and.

The entire family of the artist lives in Canada. Alexey voiced his position in a detailed one, which he gave at the beginning of 2018. Judging by the statements of Serebryakov, he is not satisfied with the lack of goodwill and tolerance between people at home.

Alexey Serebryakov about Vladimir Putin in an interview with Dudyu

The actor wants children to be brought up in an atmosphere of mutual respect, the value of knowledge and hard work, which they cannot find in Russia. Answering the blogger's question about, Alexei Serebryakov noted that he was not satisfied with the "two" Bs "- theft and lies" that reign around him in domestic politics.

Alexey Serebryakov now

Now the actor has mastered the profession of an editor, is practicing in the analysis of film scripts and is seriously preparing for his directorial debut. But while this is only a dream, Serebryakov is critical of himself and his own work, his first directorial job he wants to do something worthwhile and meaningful.


The actor continues to act, although he is picky about the roles, but does not pursue high-grossing films and agrees to appear even in student projects that are of interest. Serebryakov admits that he also does this in order to attract a youth audience.

Together with a young actor, Alexey tried himself in the road movie genre, starring in the debut project of VGIK graduate Alexander Hunt "How Vitka Garlic took Lech Shtyr to a disabled home." Growing up in an orphanage, Vitka once meets his own father, whose past is burdened with a prison term, and the present is burdened with a serious illness. The young man decides to get the rights to the parent's apartment by sending the old man to an invalid home.


In 2018, the premiere of the drama "Van Gogh", also dedicated to the problem of fathers and children, took place. Only this time Alexei Serebryakov himself appeared in the role of the son. He played the role of an artist who returned to his father - the famous conductor Viktor Samuilovich (Daniel Olbrykhsky).

Among the works of Alexei Serebryakov in 2018 is the main role in the British-American project - the thriller "McMafia", in which he played with. The main character of the story is a wealthy native of Russia who immigrated to Great Britain. Circumstances are such that he is forced to return to a life of crime, which he tried to forget in the realities of Western society.

Original taken from evgen_isch c Actor Alexei Serebryakov renounced Russian citizenship

For some, this is no longer news. But I was very surprised. "As the artist said earlier in an interview with the media: “It is often said in Russia that smiles in Western countries are artificial. But for me it’s better fake smiles than genuine malice ." Why?

Poor and unhappy man Alexei Serebryakov. Right now I am sitting at a large festive table with my family and friends. I asked - how is it with them " sincere anger around"Yes, such that it is necessary to abandon Russia. Mine laughed and took pity on poor Serebryakov. I suppose the reasons for the environment are similar in the person himself.

Serebryakov ("His Children", "Military Hospital", "Zhmurki", "Gangster Petersburg", "Caravan Hunters") had been trying to change his citizenship for more than a year, and finally got his way.

Now Alexey Serebryakov has officially become a citizen of Canada, where he has been living recently (since 2012). The artist comes to Russia exclusively for shooting, now on a work visa.

Serebryakov does not like Russia, believes a country with an "absolutely slave mentality", for which democracy is unattainable, since true democracy is possible only when you can not only choose between something, but also clearly understand that you choose and bear responsibility for it.

As the actor sums up: “Unfortunately, here, no matter how I isolate my children from rudeness and aggression, you cannot protect them. It's in the air. Ham won".

I really like the images that this actor created earlier. They are real, human, deep. He was a symbol for many. A role model.

This news is an ordinary betrayal - to harmoniously integrate into the semantic matrix of Russian humanity, to lock on many and many, and then do the exact opposite, murderous for the country, which is now very difficult. Kill the meanings.

This is how the country of the USSR was betrayed and killed. The elite trampled on the meanings, craving for sausage and the personal potential life of the bourgeois.

Gastrobayer Alexei can only wish a fat life and a strong hangover after, as befits a slave spirit that sold meanings.

This news merged into the topic

In response to message No. 125 from Tatiana: I did not want to offend, but told the truth, why he wants to renounce Russian citizenship. Surely he expressed his point of view more than once, repeatedly and in different circles. Somewhere they assented to him, nodded their heads, pompously arguing about lofty matters and endless "beginning with oneself", not trying to change anything, just spanking a mouth covered with butter and jam. Somewhere declared a traitor, period. Somewhere, smiling in the face, they were quiet in the ears of the authorities, what a scoundrel and shameless man Serebryakov is, he needs everything more than anyone else, he is still not happy with something, a scoundrel in one word, he should have been restrained.
Decisions of this magnitude of renunciation of their past life are not made spontaneously, off the hook. They come to them gradually, quite consciously, a kind of mental suicide, hopelessness, an understanding of the impossibility of changing the world in which he was born, brought up, lived, experienced, matured (ellipsis), The world in which you surround him, undoubted cattle, in a tornado of patriotism "calling for retribution, the judgment of the truth! Having hung up to your full, showing your loyalty to the shameless government, you will also shamelessly rise in the morning at the call of the alarm clock, brush your teeth and all that, go to rob your country, rob those who, for various reasons, are not able to resist your greedy impudence. Calmly, it will be good if, without contempt, you will look at the poverty of pensioners, disabled people, homeless, street children. You will not demand from the authorities to fight crime, corruption, lawlessness in everything. And you will walk around the neighbors and demand money from them to install an iron door with an intercom at the entrance, and to them a little man looking after the door. You voluntarily cover your windows with iron bars, you will escort your children everywhere. You will fence off the adjacent territory and playgrounds with fences from non-local residents of the neighboring house. For all that, praising power and calling everything described as freedom. Well, who are you after that, if not cattle? And you are ready to gnaw anyone who tries to resist you: "Guys, are you out of your mind?" Reasonable, thinking people are appointed by you as, then: idiots, senile, traitors further down your list, you know better than me. :)
And how you love to be offended by the truth that exposes you, all your modestly veiled shamelessness, shameful places, your essence, where does the essence come from ?! Funny and sad at the same time. And it doesn't matter who would be in the place of Serebryakov, Man and just Man. You will bark at someone who is allowed and nothing else, because you are a trash. Applies to all barkers. :))))
