Alexei Sergeyevich Kudinovich, People's Artist of Russia. After graduating from the M.S. Shchepkin Higher Theatre School in 1973 (V.I. Tsygankov course), Kudinovich was invited to the troupe of the State Academic Maly Theatre. Alexey Kudinovich is an artist endowed with huge creative opportunities, bright individuality, outstanding talent and impeccable taste. From the very first days of work in the theater, he is actively included in the performances of the current repertoire. The breadth of the range of dramatic talent, the richness of the inner world, excellent acting technique allowed Kudinovich to organically exist in the most diverse images. Among the first notable roles of Alexei Kudinovich in the Maly Theatre was the tragicomic decrepit elder Bogdan Kuryukov, literally crumbled in front of the audience, but steadfastly defended his ideals ("Tsar Fedor Ioannovich"). This colorful character, whom Kudinovich played for 25 years, appeared on stage only once, but was one of the most memorable in this remarkable performance. For more than thirty years of service to the Maly Theatre, Alexei Kudinovich performed more than sixty roles of different scale and genre. Among them are the heroes of the domestic classics (Bogdan Kuryukov, Krasilnikov, Dove-Father and Khvorostinin in Tsar Fyodor Ioannovich" A.K. Tolstoy, Vorobyov-Solovyov and Balalaikin in "From the Memories of the Idealist" by A.P. Chekhov and Korotkov in "Living Corpse" by L.N. Tolstoy, Ukhovortov from "The Inspector" N.V. Gogol, Gavrilovilov in "B.Korgiyuyu" by Mikhailov, "B.Korgiuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyuyu" by K.Kornikov in "A.Kornikova" by K.Kornikov" by K.K.Kornikov" by K.K.Kornikov and "Kornikov" by K.Kornikova.K. A bright sense of humor and brilliant artistry distinguished the works of Alexei Kudinovich in children's plays - he played the Tsar in "The Humpbacked Horse" by P.P. Ershov and Crow in "The Snow Queen" by E. Schwartz by G.H. Andersen. Alexei Kudinovich is one of those who in the old days were called lyceums. Creating another image, he is able to achieve almost complete reincarnation. Brilliant organics, subtle psychology and attention to the smallest details, magnificent plasticity, unrestrained imagination and an excellent sense of humor - these qualities allow Kudinovich to achieve amazing authenticity of both external and internal drawing of the role. In his performance, even a passing, seemingly, character becomes significant, acquires depth and volume. So, almost all the theatrical critics who wrote about the play "Three Sisters", noted Alexei Kudinovich as the watchman of the Zemstvo council of Ferapont, and ranked the artist among the masters of the older generation! Today Alexey Kudinovich is one of the leading actors of the Maly Theatre. In his repertoire, in addition to the above-mentioned Ferapont, such characters as the coachman Vralman pretending to be a teacher ("Nedorosl" by D.I. Fonvizin), the bullying soap manufacturer Merlyush ("Mysterious Box" by P. Karatygina), the crooked merchant Vosmibratov ("Forest" by A.N. Ostrovsky), the self-satised suffocrat Epaminond Aplombov ("Wedding, wedding!"), Boris Tshogov (" A.Tstogod"). The last premiere with the participation of Kudinovich - "Death of Tarelkin" by A. V. Sukhovo-Kobylin, where Alexei Sergeyevich got the role of the antagonist of the main character, Maxim Kuzmich Varravin. Here is what the famous critic Natalia Staroselskaya writes in the upcoming volume III of the "History of the Maly Theater": "The only interesting and accurate work in the play was General Varravin A. Kudinovich. Fragile, graceful, able to deftly wear his richly embroidered uniform, Maxim Varravin appears as the only intelligent man in this vulgar and stupid world. The stopped gaze of his icy, some dead eyes, is directed for the most part to himself - only in his own soul, sophisticated in meanness and baseness, draws Varravin-Kudinovich his evil inspiration, and his final monologue, taken by the director from the play "The Case", enlarges the personality, bringing it to the foreground - that, indeed, whose time has not yet passed!
