People's Artist of Russia Andrei Martynov gained universal fame and recognition at the very beginning of his career, playing the main role in the title film of the Soviet era "The Dawns Here Are Quiet". It was for the character of Fedot Vaskov in this picture that he was awarded the USSR State Prize and the Lenin Komsomol Prize.
The popular Soviet and Russian artist - Andrei Martynov - during his long creative career was able to achieve significant success both on the theater stage and on the wide screen. Since 1972, after leaving the Youth Theater, he became an actor of the Moscow Drama Theater on Malaya Bronnaya. It was the role of Chichikov in the play by Anatoly Efros that became the most noticeable in the theatrical life of the famous actor.
Biography and career of Andrey Martynov
On October 24, 1945, the future popular artist was born in a simple family far from the world of culture and art and living in Ivanovo. The teaching family had two more sons - Yuri and Rudolph. Since Martynov Sr., despite his poor eyesight, was a passionate theater lover, Andrei from childhood was initiated into this world full of artistic inspiration.
Passion for school performances in the drama club and the recognition by all teachers and students of his talent allowed him to ask for the occasion to see the head of the Moscow Art Theater troupe Alexei Gribov. After this meeting, Andrei Martynov no longer thought of himself outside the stage. But the first attempt to enter the capital's theater university after graduating from high school was unsuccessful. And then there was a year at a construction site and active preparation for the next exams, successful admission to GITIS on the course to Pavel Chomsky, three years of military service, graduation and, finally, in 1970, receiving the coveted diploma.
A resounding success after the premiere of The Dawns Here Are Quiet (1972) brought All-Union fame to Andrei Martynov, who made his debut in cinema. Such an unusual formation in the profession, which excluded a long and tedious period of recognition, when directors trust only secondary and episodic roles, distinguishes the creative fate of the now People's Artist of Russia from the traditional thematic framework.
Currently, Andrei Martynov has already stopped acting and participating in new television projects. However, his filmography is filled with a huge number of successful film works, among which the following should be highlighted: “The investigation is being conducted by experts. Accident "(1973)," Eternal Call "(1973)," White Bim Black Ear "(1977)," Burn it Clearly "(1981)," Vasily Buslaev "(1982)," Crazy Day of Engineer Barkasov "(1982)), “Without the right to fail” (1984), “Battle for Moscow” (1985), “Attention!

Continuation of the legend "(2010).
Personal life and family of the actor
Behind the shoulders of the family life of the People's Artist of the Russian Federation was one spouse and only child. The chosen one was a German citizen Franziska Thun, who agreed to live after the wedding with Andrei Martynov in Moscow.
In this happy family union, which lasted several years, a son, Alexander, was born. And the break took place after the family moved to Germany, where the Russian soul of the domestic actor could not get along. It was the desire of Andrei Martynov to return to his homeland from a foreign land that became the reason for the inevitable break.
Currently, the actor is not married and explains his loneliness by the fact that he is afraid of inheritance hunters, of whom there have recently become a lot in Moscow.
