And in the life of ordinary people, and in art, all processes taking place in society are invariably reflected. For example, the Soviet actor Andris Yurovich Lielais previously acted in Soviet cinema, studied at a Moscow university, and now he is an ideological opponent of the USSR.
On the one hand, it's good that the actors are also not indifferent to politics. On the other hand, it is also wrong to see only the bad in the relations that existed between the Soviet republics. So implicitly, however, society and art are closely intertwined.
Biography
The future actor and public figure Andris Yurovich Lielais was born in Riga in 1957. His family lived right next to the Daugava River, and children from the surrounding houses swam in this river and played on the bank. Andris's childhood was interesting, joyful. And when he became a teenager, an event occurred in his life that determined his entire future destiny: he starred in the film Republic of Crow Street (1960). The plot of the film tells about the revolution of 1905 and the struggle of revolutionaries with power. Andris played the role of Lurikh - a boy who is completely on the side of the revolutionaries. Teenagers have their own struggles, and they have created two opposing groups: one supports the fighters for justice, the other - the rich. The guys from Voronya Street are shown as brave and resourceful assistants to their older comrades, and Lurikh is the most courageous and resourceful of them. Lielais was good at this role, and he decided that his calling was to become an actor.
Therefore, after receiving secondary education, Andris went to Moscow - to enter the VGIK, and passed the first time.

The young actors managed to show well the discrepancy between the expectation of seed life and its realities, which was very useful for those who were about to get married.
Lielais began his film career shortly before perestroika, which radically changed the life of Soviet people.
