Honored Artist of Poccia (1998).
He was born on June 22, 1955 in Baku. Never, until the very admission to the institute, participated in any amateur artistic activity. The place where he lived was twenty-five kilometers from the city, and there were no circles. And since Victor lived in the air town, almost all his comrades, having grown up, one way or another, connected their lives with aviation.
He studied well, but gravitated to the humanities. To the eighth grade, he made a choice and decided, if he did not enter the theater institute, he would go to the aviation school.
But he was accepted into the institute. The journey of three thousand kilometers from Baku to Leningrad was not in vain. The head of the course was a wonderful actress from the legendary theater under the leadership of G.A. Tovstonogov – Emmilia Anatolyevna Popova. That was 1972.
Four years later, Victor made attempts to appear in Leningrad and some Moscow theaters. They were few and they were all in vain. Fate prepared another, much more interesting gift: in the city of Orel it was decided to create the Theater of the Young Spectator on the basis of the Leningrad Theater Institute. And he, among thirteen classmates, full of creative hopes, went "to raise the virgin land."
A year later, the young artist Viktor Zaporozhye was taken into the army, but he hoped to return to his native theater after a year of service. He returned a year and a half later as an officer in 1979.
By that time, the theater had already earned a high reputation, both among the wide circles of Orlov residents and among the leading Moscow critics. As a special encouragement, the theater was given the opportunity to conduct a month-long tour in Moscow. It was then called the Creative Report.
In 1981, V. Zaporozhye and another actor from the Orel Youth Theatre were invited to the then famous Riga Youth Theatre (this is how it is translated from the Latvian language, and in our, of course, also the Youth Theatre).
The work in this theater was also interesting and rich in various roles. The repertoire was very selective. The material for the performances was, as a rule, unique and had not been used anywhere before. Attention to the theater was constantly focused. And it was well deserved.
At the end of 1984, at the invitation of Andrey Goncharov, Viktor Zaporozhye moved to Moscow, began to serve in the Mayakovsky Academic Theater, in the theater with which his wildest dreams are associated. But he never imagined that they could come true, and even in such a fabulous way.
More than twenty years have passed since then. Behind a large number of roles played in theater and cinema. Two sons became adults. There were many ups, downs, enthusiasms and disappointments, but one thing in his life remained unchanged - his love for the theater.
