According to TASS, on January 28, local time, Russian national treasure actor Vasily Lannovoy died of infection with the new crown virus at the age of 87.
During his lifetime, Vasily Rannovoy was awarded the honors of "People's Actor of the USSR", "Hero of Labor of the Russian Federation", "Lenin Medal" and other honors, and was the chairman of the Committee of the Supervision Committee of the Activities of the "Immortal Legion" of Russia. He has starred in "Seventeen Moments of Spring", "War and Peace", "Paul Kochakin", "Anna Karenina", "Lucky Tiger" and other popular films.
Vasily Rannovoy was born in Moscow and has lived through years of war and hardship. Despite having a severe stutter and a Ukrainian accent, he became a good actor with persistent practice. He studied acting at the Vakhtangov Theater, starred in many classic films, and won honors such as the People's Artist of the USSR and the Lenin Medal.
Vasily Rannovoy played Paul Kochakin in Paul Kochakin, a role that not only influenced countless Soviet people, but also the spiritual role model for many young Chinese. With his outstanding acting skills, Vasily perfectly interprets how an ignorant teenager can grow into a revolutionary fighter with a strong will like steel.
In 1967, Vasily starred as officer Vronsky in Anna Karenina, about the love-hate entanglement of a Russian couple, which was nominated for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. It is worth mentioning that the actress who co-starred in this film with Vasily is his real wife, but the two later divorced due to emotional discord.
In War and Peace, Vasily Ranoveri starred as Anatoll, the second son of Duke Kulakin, and SS commander-in-chief Carl Wolff in 17 Moments of Spring. Both works were introduced by CCTV that year, which caused a great sensation in the mainland and were loved by many viewers.
