As a child, Vladislav spent the day and slept in the drama club, preparing for his future profession.
After leaving school, he was accepted into the studio of the Bolshoi Drama Theater, and a little later he was already in the troupe of this theater. However, two years later, the Great Patriotic War began, and the future artist fought in the infantry unit, and also participated in concerts with concert brigades.
After the war, Vladislav returned to his native theater, and served there all his life. He became a very popular actor: the audience said that they were going to the theater "on Strzhelchik".

Film career
Best of all, the famous actor succeeded in the roles of nobles, generals, princes and kings: his magnificent posture, ability to wear uniforms and lordly appearance were inimitable. Most often, Vladislav Ignatievich played Nicholas I ("The Third Youth", "Green Carriage", "Dream"). And he also succeeded in the image of Napoleon and Russian princes.
All-Union fame Strzhelchik brought the painting "Adjutant of His Excellency" - here he embodied the image of General Kovalevsky.

Personal life
The wife of Vladislav Ignatievich is Shuvalova Lyudmila Pavlovna, also an actress and director of the BDT. About her meeting with her future husband, she says that their lives "collapsed the moment we met."
Moreover, their acquaintance was accidental - they met in Sochi, and it was a resort romance. No one expected anything from this, but soon Vladislav and Lyudmila realized how they really relate to each other.
Lyudmila threw everything that she had in Moscow and moved to Vladislav in Leningrad, she was hired at the BDT. At first it was hard - the life of the artists is difficult and poor, but the young family lived amicably, intellectually and creatively, as befits young artists. We read a lot, discussed, talked with friends. They toured a lot in Russia, made new friends.
Once Vladislav Ignatievich told his wife that he loved her very much, but still the main thing for him was the theater. And until the last days, as long as he could, he was on stage.
