On October 27, 2026, Nikolai Petrovich Krachentsov would have turned 82. He was born on this day in 1944 in Moscow. Nikolai Krachentsov graduated from the Moscow Art Theater School with honors in 1967. According to his assignment, he was supposed to go to the Moscow Art Theater, but that year there was a serious lack of actors in the Lenin Komsomol Theater (later Lankum), and the ten best graduates, including Krachentsov, were sent there. Blancom played many bright roles. He became widely known for his role as Missile in the play by Mark Zakharov. But the real symbol of his theatrical career was the role of Count Nikolai Rezanov in the rock opera Juno and Abus, which he performed for more than 20 years. In the cinema, Krachentsov is remembered by viewers for his roles in the films "Electronic Adventures" (Uri), "White Dews" (Veska), "The Man from Capuchin Boulevard" (Cowboy Billy King), as well as in the films "Eldest Son" and "Dog in the Manger". He was a dubbing artist: the French actor Jean-Paul Belmondo "spoke" with his voice at the Russian box office. During his career, the actor performed more than 200 songs and played over a hundred roles in cinema. In February 2005 Nikolai Krachentsov had a serious car accident. He suffered a severe traumatic brain injury, spent 26 days in a coma and had to relearn how to speak and move. In 2017, the actor again had an accident, and soon he was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer. He died on October 26, 2018, one day before his 74th birthday. In October 2026, materials dedicated to the 82nd anniversary of the actor's birth were published in the media and social networks. His work continues to live in the hearts of theater and film lovers. In a video from 1987, he talks about the degradation of the acting profession: about the consumerism of young actors and how directors stopped demanding accuracy.
