On August 22, 1999, the Soviet and Russian film and theater actor, dubbing master Alexander Demyanenko died. Parents introduced him to the theater from an early age: they took the boy to the performances of his father - an artist of the Opera House in Sverdlovsk. In the mid-1950s, Demyanenko Jr. went to storm GITIS - and succeeded. He got to the cinema while still a student. The actor’s track record has more than a hundred paintings, but he was remembered by the audience thanks to the image of the energetic Shurik from Leonid Gaidai’s comedies “Operation Ы” and other Shurik’s adventures, Кавказ Caucasian captive, or Shurik’s new adventures ’and Вас Ivan Vasilyevich is changing his profession’. Demyanenko worked a lot in dubbing: his voice is spoken by the heroes of Omar Sharif, Donatas Banionis, Andrei Mironov and Jean-Paul Belmondo, as well as characters from the cartoon films Hercules and Mulan of Disney Studios.
