Actress Bokashevskaya named the cause of the sudden death of TV presenter Kolesnikov

“Sergei took everything to heart”

On Tuesday in Moscow they will say goodbye to the artist of the Chekhov Moscow Art Theater Sergei Kolesnikov. The actor and TV presenter will be buried at the Troekurovsky cemetery. Sergei will find his last path next to Yuri Shatunov, Yulia Nachalova, Boris Grachevsky and other celebrities.

Star colleagues still cannot come to terms with the sudden death of Kolesnikov. Recall that he died two days ago as a result of a stroke. Actress Galina Bokashevskaya told MK about her friendship with Kolesnikov.

– I know Seryozha from school years, – Galina Anatolyevna recalls. – I was friends with the Plyatskovsky family. They had three sons, one of whom was my friend. The Plyatskovskys lived in a communal apartment on Nevsky Prospekt. And all the friends of these boys came there. Now many of them have already become popular, honored artists. For example, their neighbor on the site was Kolya Fomenko. There, in this communal apartment, I saw Seryozha for the first time. He came with a guitar, always sang. Everyone adored him! Later, having matured, we continued to communicate. Our meetings have always been warm and memorable. We met like good old friends.

– When did you see Sergei for the last time?

– Not so long ago, on the set of a program. Our records were long, ended late. Some artists grumbled, moaned, said: “Yolki, we have a rehearsal tomorrow.” And Serezha is always with a smile. He was generally a wonderful person, with a great sense of humor. Light emanated from him, the light of his soul. For example, it was impossible to quarrel with him. He has a wonderful family: wife, children, grandchildren.

– They say that son Ivan will continue his work!

– I agree. Ivan has amazing charisma. Of course, it will not be easy for him, because he will always be compared with his father. Vanya will have to learn to disengage from this. I think it will come with age, such wisdom.

– What was Sergey like in life?

– Smiling, simple. You see, the more talented a person is, the easier it is. This is my life observation. I remember Pugovkin: I have never met a simpler person in my life. And because he did not have to push anyone away, to prove anything to anyone. And Seryozha was like this: all his life on his own. Even when he began to host Fazenda on Channel One, he did not change at all. Another could, of course, turn up his nose: both the money appeared, and recognition on the street. But not Seryozha.

Why do you think he had a stroke?

He took everything to heart. The easiest way to live is for people who, like ostriches, close their ears and eyes and look only at the plate and at the steering wheel. He came to work, worked – and does not see what is happening in the world, how much pain and suffering is happening. Serezha was not like that. It’s a pity that these people are leaving.
