Алексей Баталов: Я просто Баталов

V poslednie gody vokrug imeni Aleksei͡a Vladimirovicha Batalova ne umolkali skandaly, i ėto osobenno gorʹko, poskolʹku sam on ikh vsi͡acheski izbegal: ne snimalsi͡a v tok-shou, reklame, nizkoprobnykh filʹmakh, ne priblizhalsi͡a k politike... Bolʹshe vsego on t͡senil v li͡udi͡akh dobrotu i intelligentnostʹ, odnako s ego ukhodom obnaruzhilsi͡a ostryĭ defit͡sit ėtikh kachestv, otkrovenno proi͡avivshiĭsi͡a v obsuzhdenii samogo artista i ego semʹi. V knige Eleny Semënovoĭ net mesta ni zharenym faktam, ni lzhivym sensat͡sii͡am, ni ne zasluzhivai͡ushchim upominanii͡a imenam. V neĭ idët rechʹ o zamechatelʹnom cheloveke, mnogogrannom aktëre, talantlivom rezhissëre, literatore, khudozhnike, pedagoge, blagotvoritele, o ego samobytnom puti v iskusstve, o dostoĭno prozhitoĭ zhizni, nerazryvno svi͡azannoĭ s sudʹbami strany i eë luchshikh predstaviteleĭ. Bolʹshinstvo chitateleĭ, pomni͡ashchikh artista po filʹmam, teleperedacham, zhurnalʹnym statʹi͡am, nesomnenno, otkroi͡ut dli͡a sebi͡a istinnogo Batalova.

In recent years, scandals have been raging around the name of Alexei Vladimirovich Batalov, and this is especially bitter, since he himself avoided them in every possible way: he did not appear in talk shows, commercials, low-grade films, and did not approach politics... Most of all, he appreciated kindness and intelligence in people, but with his departure, there was an acute shortage of these qualities, which was openly manifested in the discussion of the artist and his family. There is no place for fried facts, false sensations, or names that do not deserve to be mentioned in Elena Semenova's book. It is about a wonderful man, a multifaceted actor, a talented director, a writer, an artist, a teacher, a philanthropist, about his distinctive path in art, about a well-lived life inextricably linked with the destinies of the country and its best representatives. Most readers who remember the actor from films, TV shows, and magazine articles will undoubtedly discover the true Batalov.
