War never goes away forever from the heart and soul of a person who has experienced all its horrors. Those who saw the death of relatives and friends, who did not hide behind the backs of their comrades, and who survived, are special people. After the shocks they have experienced, they draw handfuls of life with unthinkable greed. For myself and my fallen comrades. This article is dedicated to one of these people.

Origins

The family and biography of Pavel Vinnik originates in the city of Vinnitsa, where his father, Boris Vinnik, once arrived after he was expelled for freethinking from the third year of the Imperial Moscow Technical School, where he studied at the Faculty of Mechanics, even before the revolution.

Nevertheless, in Vinnitsa, Boris became a reputable and successful bridge engineer. Here he married and soon, on September 22, 1925, a son, Pavel, was born to happy parents.

In 1932, his father was transferred to work in the city of Odessa, where he moved withwith his family. In Odessa, Boris Vinnik worked as an engineer at one of the light industry enterprises, and then became a mathematics teacher.

All other relatives of Pavel Vinnik were associated with the famous Odessa Opera and Ballet Theatre, which at that time was considered the best in the world.

True, they were by no means actors - his mother worked in it as a dressmaker, her sister was a watchman, and their father, Pavel's grandfather, served as a watchman in this theater. However, Pavel, who from an early age played in a prop shop, while his mother sewed theatrical costumes, since then, as a child, dreamed of becoming an actor himself, so that his mother would sew a stage wardrobe not for anyone, but only for him.

At the same time, with age, Pavel did not lose interest in the stage and creativity, and at the age of twelve he played his first role as a grandfather in "The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish."

And then everything changed - sirens howled, shells roared and peacetime ended.

War

Father was one of the first to go to the front as a volunteer. By that time, he was far from young and in poor he alth, but he was well versed in sapper business and therefore they took him. He had only a few months to live - already on September 13, 1941, his family received a funeral.

Odessa was encircled by the German and Romanian armies, and all its inhabitants came out to defend it. Together with the rest of the teenagers, Pavel Vinnik covered the "lighter" bombs with sand, and then joined the Odessa fighter battalion, consisting of volunteers - workers, students and civilians, with the taskwhich was the fight against enemy paratroopers and saboteurs.

Thus passed the first three years of the war of the Komsomol member Pavel, during which he served the retreating Motherland, hiding in the underground of the Odessa catacombs, and waging a partisan struggle against the Nazis and the Romanian policemen who flooded his hometown.

April 10, 1944 the army of General R. Ya. Malinovsky liberated Odessa from Nazi invaders, and the future actor ended up in the infantry rifle regiment of the 5th shock army.

Soldier Pavel Vinnik

The shock army, justifying its name, took part in the battles in the most difficult directions. Therefore, junior sergeant Pavel, together with his rifle regiment, had a chance to force the Dnieper and Oder, liberate Chisinau and Warsaw, and also take part in the storming of Berlin.

For saving the banner of the regiment, he received his first award - the Order of the Red Star. In February 1944, during the attack on Warsaw, he received a very severe shell shock. While crossing the Oder, his first hand-to-hand combat took place. And the second one was already in Berlin.

According to Pavel Borisovich Vinnik himself, he survived only due to real paternal care towards him, a young nineteen-year-old guy, and other soldiers of his regiment.

Never in my life did I say that I survived because of my courage, because it's not true. I didn’t give a damn about fear, it’s true, but I survived only thanks to the older generation, because they protected us boys. used tothe telephone cable is broken and it's my turn to go "knit" the wire, and he is on a mine. And they simply didn’t let me in, someone older walked and, it happened, didn’t come back. To them alone I owe my life…

Theatre

Demobilized in 1945, Pavel returned to Odessa, and fulfilled his short childhood dream of an acting future, enrolling in the Theater and Art School plundered by Romanian marauders, and after graduating from it - in the country's oldest theatrical educational institution, the Higher Theater School named after M. S. Shchepkin at the State Academic Maly Theater, followed by training at the Russian Institute of Theater Arts.

In 1958, the principled Pavel, who had started acting in films since 1950 and did not find a common language with the management of the theater, had to leave it for the State Film Actor Theater, which he subsequently served for about thirty years. Then he left him, too, because of the same principles. After that, he worked for a little over a year at the State Academic Maly Theater of Russia, playing in such performances as"The Silver Prince" and "The Little Humpbacked Horse". Ultimately, after meeting with the artistic director of the Moscow Art Academic Theater named after M. Gorky Tatiana Doronina, Pavel Vinnik became an actor of the Moscow Art Theater.
