Vyacheslav Tikhonov (1963 postcard photo) Famous Soviet and Russian actor Vyacheslav Tikhonov died on Friday at the age of 81. Born in 1928, he made his film debut in 1948. The first fame came in 1968, when he filmed in Sergei Bondarchuk's Oscar-winning War and Peace as Andrei Bolkonsky and in the We'll Live Till Monday in the leading role of  history school teacher. He is best known for his role of the Soviet spy Standartenführer Stirlitz in the famous 1973 television series Seventeen Moments of Spring, Soviet classics about World War II. The Deputy Prime Minister of  Russian Cabinet Sergei Ivanov  and the former head of  Foreign Intelligence Service told about him that "this role personified an ideal Soviet spy — smart, refined, intelligent". His later roles included the portrayal of a KGB General in  1984 television series TASS Is Authorized to Declare..., also written by the Moments author Yulian Semyonov, and the role in the award-winning 1994 film Burnt by the Sun. Russian state broadcasting company VGTRK recently presented a version of the 17 Moments with a restored color. It took approximately US $3,000 to colorize each minute of the film which gives $ 2,520,000 total . Also, the television series Isayev was  released recently by Central Partnership, about the deeds of young Stirlitz, based on the novels by Semyonov. Isayev was played by Daniil Strahov. He was operated  in the Central Clinical Hospital of Moscow last Saturday, but his health remained in a poor condition and he died after  second infarction.
