“I remember what sounded the last,” thought Stirlitz, the hero of the legendary series “Seventeen Moments of Spring”. In this film, Tatiana Lioznova from the People’s Artist of the USSR, Nikolai Olympievich Gritsenko, the role is small, but memorable. At least by the fact that this great actor played, having already almost lost the ability to memorize the text (he was already quite an elderly man). The scene on the train, where Gritsenko appears in the image of a German general, worthy, intelligent, good-natured (were among our enemies and such!), created with considerable courage: Nikolai Olympievich keeps organically and naturally, so that it is even difficult to suspect him that the text of his role he reads from the sheets hung on the walls of the car.
Nikolai Olimpievich Gritsenko was born on July 24, 1912 in the Donbas region (Ukraine). As a native of the working environment, the future actor first received a technical education (graduated in 1931 from the Dnipropetrovsk Transport Polytechnic). The way to the stage lay through the work of a technician, a metallurgist and the theater faculty of the Rabfak, which young Gritsenko entered at the call of his heart.
Nikolai continued his training in acting at the Kyiv Drama Technical School at the Lysenko Musical and Drama Institute. Then there was Moscow: in 1935, Gritsenko entered the school at MHT-II. Being persevering and persistent, Nikolai Olympievich then moved to the theater school at CTCA, and then to the B. V. Shchukin Theater School. The young artist looked at the work of such masters as Buchma, Kachalov, Khmelev, Shchukin ...
In 1940, Gritsenko became an actor of the Vakhtangov Theatre and did not change this scene until the end of his days. He was so versatile, resourceful and powerful in his performances that his colleagues called him “theater in the theater” – at the plays he found new, unexpected moves, and the actors came to see how Nikolai Olympievich works.
In the cinema, Nikolai Gritsenko played his first role in a gentle and soulful melodrama.
"Mashenka" . Later on his account there were dramatic roles - Vadim Roshchin in "Walking through torments", Alexander Karenin in "Anna Karenina", Speransky in "Adjutant of His Excellency".
In 1964 Nikolai Olimpievich Gritsenko became People’s Artist of the Soviet Union. Fifteen years later, on December 8, 1979, he died. /
