On July 13, he could have turned 90 years old, but he only lived to be seventy-two, there was no money for medicine, and he could barely scrape together food... He also died in July, the 25th of 1997. The next Moscow festival was taking place these days, but no one remembered it there. He was buried by a few friends and neighbors, just as modestly as he lived. In a few years, Komsomolskaya Pravda will write about him and readers will raise money for a monument.
If you haven’t guessed it yet, we’ll be talking about the wonderful theater and film artist, Boris Kuzmich Novikov.
He was born in the Ryazan region, in the small station town of Ryazhsk-1. When the war began, he was 15. Soon the family moved to Moscow, his mother taught Russian at the NKVD school, and Boris, who dreamed of becoming an artist from early childhood, entered the theater school-studio at the Mossovet Theater of Yuri Zavadsky in 1944, and in 48 -th graduated from it and was accepted into the troupe of the theater. Mossovet.
Such actors shone in the theater as Vera Maretskaya, Nikolai Mordvinov, Faina Ranevskaya, Lyubov Orlova, Rostislav Plyatt, so Zavadsky did not particularly favor Novikov with roles. From the mid-50s, he began acting in films, “Behind the Window of a Department Store” - 55, “An Extraordinary Summer” and “First Joys” - 56, “On the Count’s Ruins” - 57. In the same 1957, Gerasimov took him to the role of Mitka Korshunov in Quiet Don.
Then there will be many more films, about a hundred in total. Novikov is rightfully considered the “king of the episode”; he brought something of his own to every small role and this made it immediately memorable forever.
"Probationary period" 1960 Tabakov, Efremov and Novikov.
"Scarlet Sails" 1961
"My friend, Kolka" 1961
This was the case in two television series - “His Excellency’s Adjutant” and “Shadows Disappear at Noon”; it is impossible to forget the jeweler Isaac Liberzon, whose Petliurists killed his son, and the Bolsheviks took everything away. Remember the phrase - " What kind of conversation can a man have with such rations?
And Ilya Yurgin, nicknamed “Buy and Sell” from “Shadows Disappear at Noon”, was the highest class.
In 1961, at the Mossovet Theater, Novikov finally got the main role. This is Vasily Terkin.
At Plyatt's insistence, they glued his nose with potatoes (his own had a slight hump), but that didn't stop him either. Tvardovsky, who was present at the premiere, was delighted - “You played Terkin better than I wrote,” he told Novikov. Tvardovsky was then in favor and Novikov could have received a prize for the role, but Zavadsky objected, saying that Maretskaya and Plyatt did not receive prizes, but here was some Novikov...
Relations with Zavadsky clearly did not work out, and when Novikov, overcoming his innate modesty, asked him why he was not being given roles at all, Zavadsky looked through him and said, “Who are you?”
After this, Novikov immediately left the Mossovet Theater; for a long time he could not find a job anywhere. Tsarev wanted to take him to Maly, but “well-wishers” from the former theater told him such things that Tsarev abandoned this idea. But Valentin Pluchek did not react to the gossip and took Novikov to the Satire Theater, where he worked from 63 to 72, continuing to act in films
"The Don Tale" 1964
"Shot" 1966
Boris Kuzmich's wife was Nadezhda Antonovna Klimovich. They studied together at the studio school, Nadezhda was a beauty and the studio students were surprised why she chose Boris. But Boris managed to fight a little at the front in the cavalry troops, was witty and charming, could talk and talk anyone out. His friend Nikolai Denisov, who worked with Nadezhda at the Youth Theater, recalled: “When they got married. Nadenka, as her husband called her, became like a mother to him, literally taking care of him like a son. Boris Kuzmich did not memorize texts very well, especially poetry, so she sat next to him and taught with him. So Kuzmich learned the role of Terkin - completely poetic. He was freed by Nadenka from all household chores, and was rarely at home, starring in several films a year." After "Terkin" Tvardovsky helped with an apartment in a prestigious high-rise building on Kotelnicheskaya Embankment, where he lived, next door to Faina Ranevskaya , which he usually greeted - “Hello, my great neighbor!" In 1949, Boris and Nadezhda had a son, Sergei. Sergei was often sick as a child, but studied very well and, having graduated from school with a gold medal, entered college. And then there was a complication after a severe flu, a mental disorder. Nadezhda was forced to quit work and look after her son. Boris remained the only breadwinner, at that time he was tormented by diabetes, and he had a heart attack in 1966. But he earned as much as could, acted in films, went on tour all over the country. This continued until the 90s. There was no work here, and my health became completely bad, a miserable life began.
He himself used to always lend money when he was asked, not particularly worried if the debt was not repaid, but he himself could not ask. In the winter of 1997, on the way to the store, he fell and broke his hip. I could no longer recover. Nadezhda Antonovna outlived him by 11 years, and in 2008, just like him, she broke her femur on the way to the store and died that same year. A year before their death they were taken into care the rector of the Church of St. Nicholas in Kotelniki, Father Alexey Yushchenko, and the head of the church, Alexander Brodsky. They turned out to be connected with black realtors and in 2009 Sergei disappeared. Only with the help of journalists was it possible to find him half-dead in an abandoned remote village a hundred miles from Moscow. With the help of the staff of the program "Man and the Law", Sergei managed to return the apartment...

The heir of the famous actor was seduced by an insidious doctor.
We were the first to write about a mysterious story connected with the son of the famous actor Boris NOVIKOV. After the death of his parents, the mentally ill Sergei became the only heir to the “kopeck piece” in the legendary house on Kotelnicheskaya Embankment. People who identified themselves as Novikov Jr.’s guardians took over his elite apartment. The man himself, who was registered in a wrecked house in the Tver region without his knowledge, is now in a mental hospital named after. Alekseeva (Kashchenko). Family friends are desperately trying to return him to his home. 
(Boris Novikov)
Let us remind you that Sergei Novikov disappeared from his apartment in a high-rise on Kotelnicheskaya Embankment in mid-April. For a month and a half, neighbors and friends could not find him. Finally, the hungry and helpless man was found in the village of Cherkizovo near Moscow. And Novikov Jr.’s living space, which is estimated by realtors at $500 thousand, has already, as it turned out, been taken over by crooks.
Sergei was shaved bald in the hospital
New owner 
(Adezhda BONDARENKO took possession of the NOVIKOVS’ apartment)
Alexander Tvardovsky got Novikov an apartment in a Stalinist high-rise building. The poet was shocked by how soulfully Boris Kuzmich played at the Theater. Mossovet role of Vasily Terkin. Films with the actor’s participation - “Shadows Disappear at Noon”, “Quiet Don”, “Seven Old Men and One Girl” - are loved by viewers to this day. The postman Pechkin speaks in his voice. Despite this, the actor died in poverty and almost forgotten by everyone.
Novikov’s elderly wife, former Youth Theater actress Nadezhda Klimovich, understood that sooner or later their mentally ill son Seryozha would be left alone, and began to look for guardians. After her death, the ministers of the Church of St. Nicholas in Kotelniki - priest Alexy Yushchenko and elder Alexander Brodsky - took care of Sergei. They hired a nurse and brought food. But when Novikov Jr. became the full owner of the apartment, he suddenly disappeared. After an intensive search, it turned out that Brodsky took the unfortunate man to Cherkizovo near Moscow. And he settled in a shack belonging to a certain Nadezhda Bondarenko, who became the owner of the Novikovs’ prestigious apartment.
Investigators from the Tagansky district police department began an investigation, but formally everything was according to the law. According to the documents, it turned out that Bondarenko bought living space for $180 thousand from an unknown citizen Sergunov, who had previously allegedly purchased a two-room apartment from Sergei Novikov. 
Boris Kuzmich always worried about his only son Seryozha
The actor’s son, alas, was never officially declared incompetent. And, of course, he never saw any money.
Mysterious death
Having snatched Novikov Jr. from Bondarenko’s hands, his friends placed him in a psychiatric hospital named after Alekseev.
“In the Moscow region, Seryozha was kept in terrible conditions,” says family friend, actor Nikolai Denisov. - Therefore, the doctors had to work hard to bring him at least a little back to normal. Sergei now feels better, but he has nowhere to go from the hospital. In order to return the apartment, the purchase and sale agreement must be canceled through the court; this is currently being done by a lawyer from the Screen Actors Guild. Bondarenko does not appear in court... The worst thing is that the Tagansky District Department of Internal Affairs told me that they would not open a criminal case for fraud. They are not embarrassed that Novikov was discharged from Moscow without his knowledge and on the same day he was registered in a shack in the Tver region, where several alcoholics are still registered. By the way, the first buyer of Serezha’s apartment, Sergunov, essentially a front man, recently died under mysterious circumstances. I was told that he had a criminal record and had problems with drugs. Maybe his death has something to do with our case? We managed to find out that Nadezhda Bondarenko also has a dark past.
NOVIKOV gained national fame for his entire role in the film “Shadows Disappear at Noon”
In her homeland, in the Novonikolaevsky district of the Volgograd region, several people are drinking themselves to death in ruined village houses, where she resettled them from Moscow and the Moscow region.
Didn't recognize my son
Friends of the Novikov family handed over Serezha’s mother’s diary to Express Gazeta. Shortly before her death, Nadezhda Antonovna revealed the secret of why her son became handicapped. It turns out that in childhood Sergei was a healthy boy with a creative streak. Mental illness was discovered after graduating from school.
“In 1975, my son was diagnosed with cerebral vasospasm,” explains Nadezhda Antonovna. “On simple sedatives, he felt great for a month and a half. And one day he deceived me, saying that he needed to go to see his doctor. From there he called home and said that he still needed to undergo treatment. It turns out that he fell in love with a doctor who was 11 years older than him. 
(mother of Sergei Novikov)
Nadezhda Antonovna could not leave her son in good hands
So, the guy had an affair with the attending physician. What happened next is difficult to understand. Either the doctor sincerely wanted to improve the health of her young lover and began to stuff him with strong psychotropic drugs, or in such a barbaric way she decided to get rid of her annoying admirer. In any case, the result was terrible.
“Literally a week later I didn’t recognize him,” Novikova recalls. - Increased salivation, lethargy appeared, my legs could barely move... When I met with the doctor and asked what happened, she said that “the process went so quickly.” When I was sending him home, I asked that my son be given a disability status, to which the doctor replied that this was impossible...
So Sergei Novikov is still considered an absolutely healthy person. To the delight of the swindlers who shamelessly robbed a helpless person.
Nadezhda BONDARENKO took possession of the NOVIKOVS' apartment
Valeria GUSCHINA, director of the Film Actors Guild:
- In recent years, several tragic cases have occurred when swindlers preyed on the living space of famous people. For example, Marianna Strizhenova, who lived in the Arbat area, unexpectedly sold her prestigious apartment for... $4,200. And literally a day after that she died of a heart attack. Actress Svetlana Chachava was found dead at home. Her body lay in an unnatural position: as if in the last moments of her life she was crawling towards the phone. And the cord was torn out from it. It soon became clear that Svetlana’s apartment at the time of her death was officially sold to strangers. Dark stories are also connected with the square meters of ballerina Olga Lepeshinskaya and actress Tamara Nosova.

Then he began to constantly act in films, releasing several films a year. In his youth, Novikov most often played the roles of negative characters - drunkards, punks, bandits, foreign spies. He successfully played in the films “On the Count's Ruins”, “Blue Arrow”, “Girl with a Guitar”, “Probationary Period”, “My Friend, Kolka”. At the same time, even his negative heroes invariably possessed a certain charm, winning the love of the audience, incl. and due to the humor that often accompanied his roles.
A small episode in the television series “His Excellency’s Adjutant” - the jeweler Liberzon - became a small masterpiece of a great artist. With the absurd appearance and characteristic reprimand of an old Jew, to whom the security officers come for advice, Novikov emphasized the hopeless drama of this man - who lost his son at the hands of the Petliurists.

The film with his participation, “Shadows Disappear at Noon,” enjoyed great success. He played Taras “Buy and Sell” (aka Ilya Yurgin). His hero’s saying “let’s thunder to the fanfare” went down among the people. The actor completely invented his character himself. Novikov brought to the set not only completed lines, but sometimes also the director’s decision for the scene. He himself later regretted that he did not take up directing.
Boris Novikov in the film "Shadows Disappear at Noon"
During his creative life he played in 150 films; among his heroes are truants, artists, foremen, motorcade leaders, military men, supply managers, young men and teenagers. He was especially successful in episodic roles, thanks to which he even received the nickname “Episode King.”
The actor played one of his last film roles in the film “Return of the Battleship” in 1997, shortly before his death.
Boris Kuzmich also participated in dubbing cartoons. His most famous character is the postman Pechkin from the cartoon series “Three from Prostokvashino”.
“Boris Kuzmich was a man who was very sensitive to falsehood, hypocrisy and lies. It was difficult to deceive him. He was an incredibly talented actor with a very complex character. Geniuses are not simple,” the actress said about him.
Boris Novikov died of diabetes at the age of 72 on July 25, 1997, forgotten by everyone and in almost complete poverty.
He was buried at the Danilovskoye Cemetery in Moscow (site No. 2). The actor’s death was not reported in the press (the International Film Festival was taking place in Moscow and his death was not noticed). Only three elderly relatives came to the funeral, and when the coffin had to be taken out of the car, there was no fourth person to support it. Then the wife Nadezhda Antonovna herself decided to lend her shoulder to her beloved husband for the last time - fortunately, the driver came to the rescue.
Later, one of the newspapers wrote about this, and readers raised money for a monument to the actor.
Boris Novikov. Episode Kings
Personal life of Boris Novikov:
Wife - Nadezhda Antonovna Klimovich, was an actress at the Moscow Youth Theater, died in 2008.
In 1949, the couple had a son, Sergei, who had been disabled since childhood. The couple looked after and cared for their sick son all his life. The family lived in the famous high-rise building on Kotelnicheskaya Embankment.
At first, Sergei was completely normal mentally, graduated from school, and studied at the institute. However, at the age of 20 he developed a mental disorder. He lived in his parents' house on Kotelnicheskaya Embankment, but without Sergei's knowledge, he was registered in an old house in the Tver region, and the apartment in Moscow changed hands.
Sergey Novikov - son of Boris Novikov
In September 2008, his mother Nadezhda Antonovna passed away - and in April 2009, Sergei disappeared. Friends of the Novikov family raised the alarm, and thanks to publicity in the media, it became clear that Novikov’s son had become a victim of “black” realtors. The characters in this story turned out to be the rector of the Church of St. Nicholas in Kotelniki, Father Alexei Yushchenko, and the head of the church, Alexander Brodsky. They looked after the Novikovs in the last months of Nadezhda Antonovna’s life. They also found a guardian for Sergei Novikov. This guardian turned out to be an unreliable person and soon admitted that he agreed to sign the relevant documents for a fee.
Journalists helped find Sergei. When a story about him was broadcast in the program “Man and the Law,” Nadezhda Bondarenko came to the investigator of the Tagansk prosecutor’s office involved in the search. She began to claim that she was a friend of the Novikov family and after the death of her parents she took care of their mentally retarded son. And then I bought an apartment from him for 180 thousand dollars. Bondarenko said that Sergei was doing well, he was alive and settled in the Moscow region, in an old house on the outskirts of the village of Cherkizovo. There the man was found - exhausted and barely alive. Scared to death, he said that Alexander Brodsky brought him here, assuring him that he would take him to church. The found Sergei Novikov was taken to a psychiatric hospital named after. Kashchenko. He had been in terrible conditions for too long and with almost no food. The prosecutor's office opened a criminal case for fraud.
Currently, Sergei’s rights to an apartment in a house on Kotelnicheskaya Embankment have been restored, where he lives under the supervision of a nurse.
The situation with Sergei Novikov’s apartment was the subject of the “Let Them Talk” program, which explored how it happened that the son of Boris Novikov, registered in an elite apartment in the center of Moscow, ended up in a wreck 100 km from the capital.
