Artists who died from alcoholism. Russian and Soviet actors are alcoholics

Despite the fact that alcoholism is often found among disadvantaged people, the world knows famous alcoholics. Sometimes even great people (politicians, rulers, actors, writers) could not resist addiction. Many of the greatest people ended their days in poverty, oblivion and disease due to alcohol addiction, but others were able to overcome addiction and become popular and loved again. When you are a rich and famous person, alcoholism becomes a shameful stigma that deprives you of work, friends, and fans. In our article we will look at the fates of the most famous people in our country and around the world who suffered from alcohol addiction.

The most famous male alcoholics

Many people were unable to give up alcoholic beverages. famous people, some great generals, writers, reformers and even modern politicians. So, the greatest drunkards in the world are the following people known to many of us:

7. Bogdan Khmelnitsky did not disdain alcohol. He was convinced that wine should be drunk as a cure for various problems. That is why he became famous in history as a lover of drunken celebrations.

Perhaps great writers, rulers and politicians drink alcohol because they are constantly under stress and their lives are quite busy and complex, and alcohol allows them to relax. As for our time, the following famous people of our time suffered from alcoholism:

• Quite often, Ukrainian politician Yuriy Lutsenko became the hero of jokes, press jokes and humorous shows due to his alcohol addiction. Although today we can say that this man was able to cope with his addiction and take the path of a sober life, which allowed him to continue a successful political career.
• Suffered from alcohol addiction and great actor times Soviet Union Radner Muratov. Many of us remember him for his role in the film “Gentlemen of Fortune.” The life of this famous man ended in loneliness and poverty due to his passion for alcoholic beverages.

Alcohol has ruined many talented writers and poets of our country:

Such famous Russian and Ukrainian writers as Alexander Kuprin, Taras Shevchenko, Alexander Blok also drank a lot. If we talk about famous foreign alcoholics, we can name Stephen King, who claims that he created most of his great horror films precisely in a state of alcoholic delirium.

You can also mention the great artist Vincent Van Gogh, who more than once went to psychiatric clinics for treatment of alcohol addiction. Alcohol was to blame for the death of the famous composer Modest Mussorgsky, which brought the person to a state of delirium tremens. One can only guess how many wonderful, great works these people could have created if they had not been hampered by alcohol addiction, and if alcohol had not taken their lives.

Great Women Alcoholics

We all know that alcoholic celebrities are not only men but also great women who are addicted to alcohol. Among them are many Russian celebrities and world-famous stars:

1. Worldwide famous singer from France Edith Piaf became addicted to alcohol in her youth. She often drank to the point of unconsciousness, which was the cause of her death in her youth.
2. History knows another alcoholic woman - Galina Brezhneva. Due to her passion for alcoholic beverages, she lost her mind, which led to death within the walls of a mental hospital.
3. Famous Russian actress Tatyana Dogileva still drinks. The reason for his addiction to alcohol was deep depression. This subsequently led to alcohol addiction.

Important: everyone knows that female alcoholism develops much faster and is more difficult to treat, however, there are famous women who were able to cope with alcohol addiction and continue successful career and a full life.

The following gave us a wonderful example of successful recovery from addiction: famous women:

• TV presenter and actress Larisa Guzeeva was very fond of holidays and fun parties, where she could not refuse alcohol. She became addicted to alcohol during her marriage to her drug-addicted first husband. However, later she was able to completely overcome her addiction and continue working on television.
• Another TV presenter who was able to cope with her addiction is Lera Kudryavtseva. She became addicted to alcohol after her first divorce, which plunged her into deep depression. But then the girl was able to give up alcohol. Now she does not drink alcohol even on holidays.
• Despite her successful career and fame, Drew Barrymore also became addicted to alcohol. But then the girl was able to control herself and completely gave up drinking alcohol, which allowed her to get rid of alcohol addiction.
• Another famous woman who has successfully recovered from alcohol addiction is Kelly Osbourne. Kelly maybe a clear example how much a person changes when he gives up alcohol and takes the path of a sober life. Before that, she was quite plump and unattractive, but after giving up alcohol she took care of her appearance, lost weight and became a very beautiful and successful girl.
• Everyone knows the singer and actress Britney Spears, who after her divorce found solace in alcohol and drugs. But later she came to her senses, recovered from her addictions and continued her successful career. Her personal life also improved.
• If Kristin Davis had not drunk alcohol, she would have been able to build a career as an actress much earlier. But at the age of 25, she simply couldn’t imagine life without alcohol, and only after getting into the group Alcoholics Anonymous, she was able to completely get rid of addiction and become successful.

• The famous fashion model Lara Stone, due to frequent stress and a busy life, quite often relaxed with the help of alcohol. But after she realized that she had developed an addiction, she turned to specialists and completely got rid of her addiction.

Not many great and famous people have overcome alcoholism. Unfortunately, there are not many examples of celebrities being able to cope with addiction. Many of them do not admit that alcohol has completely taken over their lives and are not going to seek treatment. So, today unbridled drunkenness has captured actress Courtney Love and Lidsay Lohan.

Famous alcoholic actors in Russia and the world

It has been proven that every third celebrity is prone to alcohol abuse. Most likely, this is due to great popularity, awareness of their greatness and substantial fees. Alcoholism is especially widespread among actors:

1. The famous actor, singer and poet was treated many times and still could not cope with his addiction. Due to alcoholism, he had repeated episodes of cardiac arrest. Despite the fact that everyone knew about the addiction, even after his death there are fans of Vysotsky’s work.
2. Such people have been noticed to be addicted to alcohol: famous actors, like Andrey Panin, Yuri Bogatyrev, Vladislav Galkin. The last of them died due to alcoholism in all alone at the age of 39.
3. Numerous life shocks caused actor Georgy Yumatov to become alcoholic in old age.
4. Some talented Russian celebrities still cannot cope with their addiction. These are Alexander Domogarov, Mikhail Efremov, Marat Bashirov, Alexey Nilov.

Alcohol has a significant impact on the image of famous people because they are constantly in the public eye. As a result, such celebrities may lose their health, popularity, and good appearance. Over time, their careers decline due to lack of demand in professionally. Often this contributes to even greater dependence, as the person begins to seek solace in alcohol.

Irina Rodnina became an alcoholic as a child, and the drug clinic is crying for Lolita Milyavskaya

A drunken mother means grief in the family, people say. Female alcoholism is revealed late, when the lady has already reached the end of her rope, and the life of her loved ones has turned into hell. Representatives of the fair half often drink secretly and alone, without admitting their vice for a long time, which aggravates the trouble. And even after undergoing a course of treatment, they often break down.

Alcoholism - chronic illness. Anyone can be at risk, regardless of merits and titles, profession and social status. Many famous women know this firsthand.

Drunken childhood of Irina Rodnina

In 2007, Olympic champion Irina Rodnina raced around Moscow in an Audi. Traffic police officers stopped the car - the ex-skater fell out from behind the wheel. The star reeked of alcohol. Irina Konstantinovna refused to undergo a medical examination. Having sobered up, she rushed to make excuses. In numerous interviews she convinced me that she only drank a couple of glasses of wine. But then she told the whole country about problems with alcohol:
- Two glasses are nothing for me. From the age of eight, my parents poured me red wine at dinner!
The head of the women's drug addiction department of the Yaroslavl Regional Clinical Hospital, Alexey Medvedev, concludes: the parents themselves got Irina drunk.
“The child was in a state of chronic alcoholism,” explains the doctor. - In childhood, the enzymatic system is poorly developed, alcohol leaves the body more slowly. The fact that two glasses of wine is no longer perceived as the dose necessary for intoxication indicates the onset of tolerance. Initially, a person needs a little to feel relaxed and desire to communicate. Then there is a build-up of tolerance, where the body requires an increase in dose in order to experience the same condition. Then there comes a moment when the growth of tolerance stops, and the plateau phase comes - the use of consistently high doses.
Rodnina admitted that she became heavily addicted to alcohol while in immigration. The tears of the Olympic champion on the podium in 1980 are remembered by the whole country. This was the last “gold” of the great athlete and a touching farewell to big sport. Later, Rodnina cried, washing down defeats in her coaching career with cognac and family drama. This was already in the USA, where Irina and her family moved at the invitation of one of the figure skating centers. The great athlete did not speak a word of English, she had no coaching experience, and at first strong athletes did not want to work with her. And at home it was even worse: her husband Alexander Zaitsev, with whom she performed in pairs, left for someone else and threatened to take the children through the court.

Terrible thoughts of Tatyana Vasilyeva

Tatyana Vasilyeva began pawning collars while still in theater school. Over a glass they celebrated creative successes, relieved fatigue, drowned sadness, being left without major roles.
- Alcohol in small doses acts as a sedative. But with regular use in large doses, aggression and irritability appear, states Alexey Medvedev. - Fighting depression in this way is dangerous. The next morning the oppressive feeling gets worse. What do you want in this situation? Drink more and forget. Vicious circle.
Tatyana Grigorievna admits that she did not notice when her first husband, Anatoly Vasilyev, had an affair on the side. Having found out, the actress relieved her melancholy in the usual way. She mixed alcohol with medications.
“There were thoughts of jumping down - we lived high, on the 14th floor,” Vasiliev’s frankness is shocking. - I could drink vodka in the morning. There was such a “disintegration” inside. More and more alcohol was needed. I remember that period with horror.

Strange pirouettes of Tatyana Dogileva

Tatyana Dogileva, they say, still breaks down. Although everything is fine in her profession: she stages plays and produces. In the 90s, when theater and domestic cinema were on their last legs, there were more reasons for despair.
“I couldn’t sleep, the sleeping pills didn’t work,” Dogileva recalled. “My teeth were chattering, my hands were twitching. It even seemed like I was going crazy. She started crying on stage.
“The Green Serpent” became the reason for her divorce from playwright and screenwriter Mikhail Mishin. The actress almost stopped being cast, and rare roles were “silent”, as in the series “Crazy Angel”: they say that Konstantin Ernst doubted that Tanya was able to remember the text.
The local police officers nicknamed the actress “the blonde under the fence.” Dogileva recalls with indignation how she was dragged by her feet in the prefecture, where she came to protest against the construction of Nikita Mikhalkov’s hotel on Maly Kozikhinsky Lane next to her house. The drunken actress lay down on the floor in the corridor. In the clinic for the mentally ill, where Tatyana Anatolyevna was admitted more than once, she was diagnosed with deep depression. The body has stopped producing serotonin - the hormone of joy. There Dogileva learned to fall asleep without alcohol. But she celebrated her birthday and found herself in a hospital bed again.

“I became the main alcoholic in Russia,” the actress admitted.
The last time she appeared drunk on the floor of the Ukrainian version of the TV show “Dancing with the Stars” was in 2011. Strange steps, indistinct pirouettes, hanging on a partner and the final half-split left no doubt: Dogileva was under attack again. The actress demanded that the jury recognize her as a cinema legend, downing two glasses of water from the judge's table in one gulp.
“It is impossible to completely recover from alcoholism, you can only achieve long-term remission,” explains narcologist Alexey Medvedev. - After drug treatment touching alcohol is prohibited. It seems that you are able to control yourself, but this is an illusion.

The main sin of Ekaterina Vasilyeva

Today wonderful actress Ekaterina Vasilyeva is a parishioner of the Moscow Church of Sophia the Wise God. ABOUT stormy youth prefers not to remember, although he does not hide: yes, she drank, yes, she cheated, she had abortions. Once upon a time, her second husband Mikhail Roshchin took her son away from her. Before his death, Mikhail Mikhailovich gave a frank interview.
“I told her: “Katya, the fact that you drink, smoke, have abortions and swear are all ordinary sins. Major sin- dislike of people and great love to yourself".
Roshchin explained the reason for the divorce from Vasilyeva as follows:
- We had to part, sharply and categorically. Katya drank so much that there seemed to be no escape. The poet Vasiliev, Katya's father, was a famous drunkard. It's hereditary. What clinics did she not receive treatment in? But I met the priest Father Vladimir, and he helped. I think she became a sincere believer, otherwise nothing would have happened. A year ago, when we met, she had just sipped champagne. I gave her my son, and she began to drag him to church.
Dmitry Roshchin became a priest in the same church where his mother works as treasurer.
- Conversion to faith often becomes salvation for alcoholics - they replace one addiction with another. In this case, harmless and creative, says the narcologist. - Some people find a new hobby. This is also a way out.

New “doping” of Natalia Andreichenko

Having met Maximilian Schell on the set of the film “Peter the Great,” the charming “Mary Poppins” actress Natalya Andreichenko left for the USA. But Hollywood didn't accept her. And soon a breakdown appeared in the relationship with her husband. Natalya Eduardovna entertained herself as best she could. People around her said that the actress indulged not only in whiskey, but also in narcotic powders. In this state, she got behind the wheel and breakneck speed crashed into a truck. Andreichenko ended up on the surgical table in a state of clinical death - the doctors literally assembled the body in parts. Natalya Eduardovna was faced with a choice: quit drinking or die. Now she has a different joy - she catches the energy of space. She grows flowers, grows vegetables, and tries to be closer to nature.
“I can hug a tree, and I feel better,” the actress reveals the recipe for the new “doping.”

Nightmare of Larisa Guzeeva

Larisa Guzeeva also does not hide the fact that she was close friends with the bottle. The binge began during the years of creative downtime, at the very peak of youth and beauty - following her first husband, who turned out to be a drug addict, Larisa sank to the bottom. Realizing that she was going downhill, she shut herself down for a year.
- How did this happen to me? There were friends who were always ready to hand over a full glass, and there were those who were glad that I was dying,” the actress shared. - As soon as I had a drink, a different person woke up in me. I wanted to become trash and shout: “Yes, that’s how trash I am!” And it carried me through all the troubles. Either she kicked everyone out of the house, or she went into some strange company. It’s just a nightmare what she did.
Fortunately, fate sent her a second loving husband- Kahu Tolordav, who helped get out of the abyss.

Hard rock by Lolita Milyavskaya

The flamboyant Lolita is persistently trying to convince everyone that she had no problems with alcohol. With prohibited substances - yes, but she always controls the dose of alcohol. However, those who see the singer behind the scenes have a different opinion. However, it’s really not easy to distinguish a crazy sober Lolita from a crazy drunk one.
Dancing on the table, passionately kissing transvestites is already a legend. In Odessa, at the celebration of City Day, Milyavskaya appeared on stage in nightgown and, lifting her legs, performed a rock composition. In ecstasy, the singer straddled the tripod.
“Alcohol removes psychological barriers,” explains our expert. - At the first stage, there is a loss of situational control when a person allows himself to get drunk at important events. If you give up on the problem, the second stage begins: physical dependence, when alcohol molecules are integrated into metabolic processes. They go on drinking bouts with a severe hangover. Anxiety, trembling in the body, a feeling of lack of air, a feeling of fear are its symptoms. Next - irreversible processes and personality degradation. God forbid you bring yourself to such a state.

You can't cure it by force
If one of your loved ones has become close friends with a glass, perceive him as sick. There is no need to feel sorry or scold - both are destructive. Do not force help - forced treatment is ineffective, but gently push the alcoholic to the idea that he has a problem with alcohol: he must want to get rid of it himself. Make it clear that you are willing to provide support if asked.

Underline if so:
1. You drink two or more glasses of wine every day.
2. You feel that intoxication is coming later and later, and increase the dose.
3. You are familiar with the condition of a severe hangover.
4. Among close relatives there are people who drink heavily.
5. You have problems with metabolism and blood vessels.

If you have noted more than two signs, be careful: you are at risk!

Why do people who have money and fame start drinking, is that really all they lack in life?

Alcohol seriously affects the image of famous people, especially those who are forced to go out. They lose their popularity, health and good appearance, so they become unclaimed in their profession, and this leads to even greater psychological dependence drinking alcohol in large quantities. The paparazzi do not leave such stars alone, because they expect a new sensation from them in the form of a drunken prank.

To regain their image, financial status, fans and respect from loved ones and colleagues, celebrities will need a huge amount of time.

Artists and public people, those who died from alcoholism make it clear that this disease does not depend on social status, financial situation or success.

IN general view All people are divided into 3 types: those who do not drink alcohol at all, those who drink occasionally (on holidays) and those who no longer imagine themselves and their lives. The last group suffers from alcoholism.

Alcohol has already ruined many lives. He also managed to put an end to the careers and lives of many famous people. After all, creative people, due to their vulnerable nature, are more susceptible to this craving than anyone else. In their photos you can see the imprint of excessive drinking.

Alcoholism: causes and stages

The disease resulting from excessive drinking is called “alcoholism.” In addition to the fact that it is characterized by a significant deterioration in human health, alcoholism is addictive, which is practically impossible for a person to overcome on his own.

There is still debate among doctors about recognizing alcoholism as a disease, but the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism decided on this issue long ago and consider drunkenness a serious disease that needs to be treated.

After all, it never ends with just addiction. Added to this are cancer, liver diseases, stomach ulcers, nervous and mental disorders, high blood pressure and heart pathology, a high probability of stroke, which, one way or another, will lead the patient to premature death.

Reasons leading healthy person to alcohol abuse are:

• Dissatisfaction with one's own life;
• Feeling of loneliness, lack of understanding from society;
• Low quality of life;
• Lack of cultural and spiritual development.

Analyzing the above reasons, we can say that it is the absence of loving and understanding people nearby that pushes one to drink. Unfortunately, in modern world a person can very often feel lonely. After all, everyone is running somewhere, in a hurry, no one cares about other people’s problems. And when drinking, a person finds himself in a completely different world - an internal one, where he can have a heart-to-heart talk with several of his “I”s, where he will always be listened to, understood and not reproached for anything.

After leaving this state, realities outside world Once again they “beat” a person, and he has no choice but to return again and again to an ideal environment.

Experts who agree with the point of view that alcoholism is a disease divide it into 4 stages, arguing that, having reached the third stage, there is no turning back:

1. Unconscious weak dependence. If a person has free time and opportunity - he will definitely fill the void with alcohol; When attention is distracted, the addiction quickly disappears.
2. Conscious tolerant dependence. Constant obsessive thoughts about drinking, even when there is no time or place for this; the amount that causes vomiting as a natural reaction of the body to poison is constantly increasing.
3. Physical pathological dependence. When giving up drinking, the patient experiences “withdrawal”, similar to drug addiction; healthy liver cells begin to turn into connective tissue, which indicates the onset of cirrhosis.
4. Pathological uncontrollable addiction. The only thing an alcoholic worries about at this stage is the next dose of alcohol, and it doesn’t matter if it’s vodka, cologne or glass cleaner. Forced cessation of alcohol can lead to cardiac arrest; only 5% of patients survive this stage, but even they will never get a full, long and happy life.

The main sign by which an alcoholic is distinguished from a healthy person who drinks periodically is the presence of addiction. You can also name such manifestations as prolonged drinking bouts, an increase in the amount of alcohol at which a person experiences a gag reflex, the presence of hangover symptoms; external signals that can be seen even in photographs.

Many famous people also suffer from the problem of alcoholism and struggle with the diseases that it provokes. After all, they are the ones who most often feel lonely and unwanted. Fame, recognition and love from the audience are combined with long drinking bouts, which subsequently ends in death at a young age, when many roles and images have not yet been played.

Perhaps the most famous person who was ruined by alcohol is Vladimir Vysotsky. He is an outstanding poet and musician, talented actor. There is probably not a person in Russia who would not recognize him from his photo. He died at the age of 42 due to excessive drinking and drug use.

Honored Artist of Russia Vladislav Galkin died at the age of 38 from acute heart failure. He was in a state of long-term depression due to problems with women. Shortly before his death, Vladislav was diagnosed with pancreatitis, after which he sat down on strict diet and gave up alcohol. The actor’s father suspects that his son did not die on his own, and even presented to the investigation Required documents and a photo, but the matter never progressed.

The genius of Russian cinema Oleg Dal also suffered from this disease. According to his friends, the reason for this was constant failures in his personal life, in addition, he was too demanding and picky about people. This led the artist to solace by drinking. Oleg died due to cardiac arrest at the age of 39.

Victor Kosykh (hero " Elusive Avengers") died at the age of 61 due to an alcohol overdose. A lethal dose of alcohol led to a cerebral hemorrhage. Experts say that a dose on average equal to 1.5 liters of vodka is considered lethal. However, this indicator depends on individual characteristics body.

More long life was a success for Oleg Efremov, an outstanding director and actor. Throughout his life he struggled with alcoholism, his life was cut short at the age of 72 due to blockage of blood vessels.

Also, Andrei Krasko, Nikolai Eremenko, Georgy Yumatov, Georgy Burkov and many other domestic stars faced a similar fate.
