An actor who died in an accident with his wife. Russian artists who died in an accident

They could have delighted audiences with their roles for many years, but their lives were tragically cut short. The actors who died in an accident were still young, and the whole country mourned their passing. Find out about the circumstances surrounding the death of these talented artists so you don't repeat their mistakes.

Suicide overtaking

The wonderful actor Leonid Bykov is familiar to viewers for his roles in such films as “Only Old Men Go to Battle”, “Maxim Perepelitsa”, “Bunny”, “Marina’s Fate”. with kind, radiant eyes and a ringing voice, he knew how to conquer those around him with his responsiveness and hard work. However, in family life everything was very ambiguous: many acquaintances and friends said that his relatives did not like the artist.

In 1976, he had a heart attack - this gave him the idea that death was nearby. He wrote a letter to Emilia Kasnichuk, in which he admitted that he was tired of living and wanted to die. Two years later, this message resurfaces. Then rumors spread that the actor had committed suicide in such a strange way. The newspapers wrote about how Leonid Bykov died, and public opinion was divided into two camps.

Accident

On April 11, 1979, the actor was driving his car along the Minsk-Kyiv highway. He was in no hurry, so it is still unclear why he decided to overtake. A tractor was driving ahead of him, and Leonid, hoping to get around it, jumped into the oncoming lane and crashed into a truck. Death was instant. The only organ that was not damaged was the heart. Here's the irony of fate: he survived two heart attacks and thought that he would die after the third, but it turned out completely differently. The actor was 51 years old.

The Bykov family tried for a long time to prove that it was not tragic accident. The truck driver went through all the circles of hell before he was completely acquitted. The guy lost his job and in the eyes of Soviet citizens was the killer of the legendary actor. The young man was sure that he would be given the death penalty and shot. Fortunately, all the experts agreed that the actor himself was to blame for the collision, and the boy was released.

How Marina Golub died

A charming blonde with a wide smile and an open heart - this is exactly how fans and friends will remember this talented actress. She walked to fame for a very long time and managed to be married three times. All her marriages were exclusively for love, although they lasted a very short period. The fourth husband could have been Mikhail Kravchenko, but the influential businessman was shot dead right at the entrance to his own house. In his first marriage, a daughter, Anastasia, was born. After the divorce from all her husbands, the actress maintained friendly and warm relations.

Car accident

On October 9, 2012, the artist joined the list of actors who died in an accident. On an autumn evening, Marina and her driver were heading towards her house in south-west Moscow. A Cadillac driven by Alexey Rusakov crashed into them at full speed. The driver hastened to flee the scene of the accident, but was later detained and sentenced to 6.5 years. Before that, he managed to be in ten accidents and appeared in more than 50 reports on traffic violations. The driver and Marina Golub died in the collision. The next day there was to be a performance with her participation. The performance was canceled, and the audience saw a notice on the doors of the building about tragic death everyone's favorite actress. She was only 54 years old.

Hit from behind

The favorite of millions of Russians, Yuri Stepanov, played in such famous paintings like “Zhmurki”, “First after God”, “War”. I would especially like to note his fateful role in the film “Walk”, in which he played a participant in the accident. A father of two and a wonderful husband, he was just a few weeks shy of the birth of his third son. His wife named him after his father - Yuri. The actor starred in films and was involved in several performances. His career was in full bloom and offers poured in like from a cornucopia. He died when he was 43 years old.

On a cold March night in 2010, the actor was returning home after a performance. He was a person who was unpretentious in everyday life, and that night he hitched a ride. When the driver stopped at the intersection, a Mazda crashed into him from behind at full speed. The impact pushed the car into the oncoming lane and a VAZ 2112 crashed into it at full speed. The blow fell into the passenger seat, and Yuri Stepanov received many injuries incompatible with life.

Tragic coincidences

Actor Evgeny Dvorzhetsky was one of the most popular artists, he managed to play many roles in cinema and theater. His wife Nina gave him two children - daughter Nina and son Mikhail. Together with her husband, she played in several performances - on the stage of the “School modern play“There was no more beautiful couple. In 1999, he began his career as a TV presenter, and viewers remember him from the program “Seven Troubles - One Answer,” “Understand Me.”

Evgeniy had no less famous brother Vladislav. He was also an actor and acted in many films. His life was cut short at the age of 39. The attack of acute heart failure happened suddenly, and they could no longer bring the artist back to life. The man was incredibly handsome and all the girls were in love with him Soviet Union. At the time of his death, Evgeniy was 18 years old, and he had a hard time with the loss of his brother.

The Irony of Fate

On December 1, 1999, the actor was returning home in his car. He was incredibly happy because the clinic denied his suspicions of asthma. Evgeny was in a hurry to tell his wife this good news and was distracted by dialing the number on mobile phone. The collision with the truck ended tragically: the actor died on the spot. He was 39 years old, like his brother at the time of his death. Among our list of actors killed in road accidents, he was the most prolific in film roles.

Together with three other drivers, he stood on the road and waited for the inspectors to arrive. Their conversation was interrupted by a Honda Accord. The driver did not notice the accident and hit people and then rammed their cars. Egor died on the spot from his injuries. The rest of the drivers were lucky - they were taken to the hospital and provided with the necessary assistance. Kindness and responsiveness played a fatal role in the life of the Fizruk star, Yegor Klinaev. If he had remained indifferent to what was happening and passed by, he could have continued to act in films and live long life. But at 18 he was an open-hearted man kind soul, which did not allow him to close his eyes to the misfortune of another person.

For her contemporaries, the princess was the spiritual leader that humanity always needs.

But the main thing is that she was not an airy image, but a living person with her own mistakes and joys.
