Talented and bright personalities leave a deep mark in the history of their country. These people include Mikhail Evdokimov, who is known to his compatriots as an artist of the spoken genre.
Starting conditions
Siberian expanses and harsh climatic conditions make strict demands on people. It is difficult for the weak and indecisive to survive. Mikhail Evdokimov was born on December 6, 1957. Parents at that time lived in Kuzbass. My father worked at one of the metallurgical plants. Mother worked in the mine, gave out lamps to the miners when descending into the face. Misha turned out to be the middle child in the family. In addition to him, three brothers and three sisters grew up in the house. A year later, the family moved to the village of Verkhne-Obskiy in Altai.
It was this place that Evdokimov always called his homeland. From here, after school, he went to enter the Barnaul cultural school. After completing his studies, he was immediately drafted into the army. Returning home, Mikhail worked for almost a year as artistic director of a local house of culture in his native village. Then he entered the Novosibirsk Trade Institute. Within the walls of this educational institution, the boy realized that his vocation was not a trading floor, but a stage. Evdokimov was the leader of the KVN student team for several years. After graduating from his studies, Mikhail went to Moscow and got a job at a competition in the city philharmonic society. He was accepted as an artist of the spoken genre.
In the cinema and on the stage
The first appearance on television took place in the spring of 1984. Evdokimov was invited to the Ogonyok program, where he read his first monologue. After a short period of time, they began to invite him to the Around Laughter program and other specialized programs. Mikhail brilliantly performed humorous and satirical stories. The colorful and witty actor began to be invited to shoot a movie. For several years, he managed to star in a dozen films. The most popular were the films I don’t want to marry, and About the businessman Foma. At the same time, Mikhail was recording his songs. Solo discs entitled "We must live", "Countrymen" were sold in large editions.
Throughout his adult life, Mikhail Evdokimov showed interest in political activity. Back in the 90s, he tried to become a State Duma deputy from the capital of Altai. But the attempt was unsuccessful. But in 2005, the artist won the elections for the head of the Altai Territory. Evdokimov became governor, positioning himself as "a man from the people." However, this was not enough for a political career. Mikhail Sergeevich worked for a little over a year as governor. During this time, scandals regularly flared up in the local elite. It got to the point that in May 2005 the Regional Council passed a vote of no confidence in the governor. But the President of the Russian Federation did not intervene in this conflict. The tragedy happened already in August - Mikhail Evdokimov died in a car accident.
Personal life
According to reliable sources, Evdokimov was married only once. In his youth, he married a girl named Galina. The husband and wife raised and raised their daughter. As it turned out, the actor and the politician were left with two illegitimate children: a son and a daughter.
