Timeline
Yevgeny Ivanovich Tashkov (Евгений Иванович Ташков; 18 December 1926 — 15 February 2012) was a Soviet and Russian film director, screenwriter and actor known for his spy movies as well as a comedy Come Tomorrow, Please... that made a name for his wife Ekaterina Savinova.
Tashkov was born on 18 December 1926 in the Bykovo village (modern-day Bykovo, Volgograd Oblast of Russia), although his birthdate was written down as 1 January 1927.
As a result, he was not drafted into the Red Army during the Great Patriotic War.
His father was arrested as an enemy of the people, he and his sister Maria were raised by their mother.
As a teen he visited drama courses organized in his village by a visiting actress from the Alexandrinsky Theatre.
He successfully entered VGIK.
There was no free room at the dormitory, so he had to spend a night at a girls' room.
As he was going to sleep, he heard the voice of Ekaterina Savinova (1926—1970) — a fellow student also from a peasant family from a far-away Siberian village — and fell in love with her.
He studied acting under Boris Bibikov (who later starred in a number of Tashkov's movies) and Olga Pyzhova, graduating in 1950.
He then worked at the National Film Actors' Theatre and various film studios as an actor, second unit director and assistant director.
They got married in 1951.
His directorial debut happened in 1957 with Past Days Pages, a revolutionary drama shot at the Odessa Film Studio.
The score was written by Andrei Eshpai who turned into Tashkov's close friend and wrote music to the majority of his movies.
After her role in Cossacks of the Kuban Savinova felt out of favour and stopped receiving big roles despite her outstanding talent both as an actress and a singer.
According to Tashkov, this happened after she refused to become a lover of Ivan Pyryev and slapped him in the face.
Yevgeny Tashkov and Ekaterina Savinova had a son Andrey Tashkov (born 1957), a prominent actor who played the major part in his father's The Raw Youth based on Feodor Dostoevsky's novel of the same name.
In 1962 Tashkov decided to give her the major role in his own comedy movie Come Tomorrow, Please... which he co-wrote with Savinova.
A part-autobiographical film, it featured many episodes from her life.
It was well-received and turned into cult classic.
Tashkov himself voiced the main male part (one of Anatoly Papanov's first leading roles).
After the movie came out, they toured with concerts around the country.
During that time Tashkov noticed that his wife became seriously ill.
She was diagnosed with brucellosis which influenced her brain and nervous system and led to sluggish schizophrenia.
In 1967 he joined Mosfilm.
He directed two popular spy mini-series: Major Whirlwind (1967) based on the novel by Yulian Semyonov and The Adjutant of His Excellency (1969) written by Georgy Seversky and Igor Bolgarin, although Tashkov claimed that the script was so poor that he had to rewrite it from scratch, but was left uncredited.
She spent nine years lying in clinics, took a lot of medicine, and in 1970 she committed suicide by throwing herself under a train.
Tashkov received permission to conduct a memorial service.
After Savinova's tragic death in 1970 Yevgeny lived in a civil union with an actress Valentina Sharykina, and in 1979 he married another actress Tatiana Vasilieva (born 1956) who played the main part in his movie French Lessons (1978) based on the story by Valentin Rasputin.
The latter movie was awarded the Vasilyev Brothers State Prize of the RSFSR in 1971.
It was also one of the first attempts to show both Red and White Army in neutral light.
As Tashkov described it, "Two revolutions and the civil war — the greatest tragedy of Russian people. Both "Reds" and "Whites" were Russian people, which means it was a tragedy for all of them. I wanted to show it in my film".
As a result, it was banned for four months until Tashkov invited 12 KGB generals who watched and approved it.
He was named Meritorious Artist of RSFSR in 1980 and People's Artist of Russia in 1995.
She gave birth to Alexei Tashkov in 1983 who also became a TV and movie director and co-directed Tashkov's last film.
In 1987 he was fired from Mosfilm.
After that he and his wife had to seek various opportunities to survive.
Only in 2011, after 20 years of failed attempts to find sponsors, he finally got in touch with Nikita Mikhalkov who produced his last biopic The Three Women of Dostoevsky about Feodor Dostoevsky.
It was released on TV 40 days after his death.
Yevgeny Tashkov died from a stroke aged 85.
He was buried at the Troyekurovskoye Cemetery in Moscow.
