Lyubov Orlova, Leonid Utesov, Leonid Kharitonov, Vladimir Vysotsky, Evgeny Leonov, Oleg Dal, Maris Liepa, Natalya Gundareva, Vitaly Solomin. Idols of millions of viewers. The whole country applauded them, they were loved during their lifetime, and they will remain in memory for many years. Dozens of wonderful roles raised them to the pedestal of success. For some, fate measured out a short century, for others - almost a century. Some managed to say little, but brightly and talentedly, and left offensively early, others did a lot over a long life and left behind hundreds of wonderful roles and victories. And it turns out that almost every day of the year is memorable because the country said goodbye to one or another idol. We remember this outstanding man and try to understand how and what he lived.
