film "12 chairs" The film adaptation of the novel by Ilf and Petrov, created by Leonid Gaidai. But regulars of casinos and prestigious clubs have heard about "Golden Ostap" - one of the best places in the capital, which, in addition, is an excellent restaurant: it is the property of Archil Gomiashvili, which was highly appreciated even outside Moscow, at the European level.
Actor and businessman of Georgian origin, Archil Gomiashvili was worthy of his hero: he does not lose self-control and resourcefulness in difficult situations. Everything he created in the nineties had an adventurous basis: once, putting the last hundred marks in a foreign casino, Archil won a fortune! With this began his journey as a businessman and creator, and before that there was a completely different, creative life, and memories of a difficult childhood.
Archil Gomiashvili was born in the Georgian city of Chiatura on March 23, 1926. His father was the main coal miners' union, and in the fateful thirties was repressed, but fortunately survived. The son of the “enemy of the people” received his education at the Tbilisi Art College, then became interested in theater and got into the Moscow Art Art Theater School. Archil knew how to defend his rights with hefty fists, and after one street fight he had to leave Moscow: he almost fell on trial. Gomiashvili spent several years in his native Georgia, where he played in theaters, and in 1957 he made his debut in the film Personally Known. After 14 years, he really became known personally to all viewers of the Soviet Union, becoming Ostap Bender. How was it not to accept such a celebrity in the Moscow Theater named after Lenin Komsomol? From the current Lenkom. Archil moved to the Pushkin Theatre, and then he, like Bender, was carried to West Berlin. Gomiashvili wanted to make his own film based on the autobiographical book of millionaire Michael Field and even met this rich man, but the negotiations did not lead to anything. Here our hero and won in the casino as much as a hundred thousand. The millionaire was also not stingy: to compensate the actor for moral dissatisfaction with the unrealized film project, he gave him ten game halls. Bender never dreamed about it. Archil became more than a wealthy man almost overnight.
The famous actor in 1990, on the verge of the crisis of Russian cinema, became president of the joint-stock company City-Business. The birthday of Zoty Ostap fell at the end of 1992. In 1996 and 1997, the restaurant was recognized as the best in Europe. /
