Exactly 66 years ago the well-known Ukrainian actor Oleksandr Bondarenko was born. In 2013 the artist, who appeared in the series "Svaty," fell ill right during a performance and died. "Telegraf" tells what is known about the life and death of the star.
Bondarenko was born on 11 September 1960 in Kyiv. He finished school there, and then the I. K. Karpenko-Kary Kyiv State Institute of Theatrical Arts. From 1984 he was an actor at the Lesya Ukrainka Kyiv National Theatre of Russian Drama.
Oleksandr debuted in film as early as 1974, starring in the movie "I Go My Own Course." Over the years his filmography exceeded 40 works. Viewers also remember him for the series "Svaty," where in the sixth season he played a taxi driver. Other well-known projects with his participation include "The Two Rabbits" (market director), "Forward, for the Hetman's Treasures!", "Moskal-the-Wizard", "The Princess on the Pea", "Gypsy Aza", "Black Council."
For his significant contribution to the arts, in 1998 Bondarenko was awarded the Dovzhenko State Prize of Ukraine, and in 2010 he received the title "People's Artist of Ukraine."
He was married to actress Nadiya Kondratovska. The couple have a son, Nazar, who is now 30 years old; he works in IT.
Sudden death on stage
The Ukrainian actor passed away on 29 January 2013 — the tragedy occurred right on the stage of a Kyiv theater during the performance "1001 Passion, or The Trifles of Life." At that moment he was delivering a long monologue when he suddenly became ill: he dropped a prop and lost consciousness. Colleagues immediately rushed to help and attempted cardiopulmonary resuscitation, but Bondarenko died before the ambulance arrived.
The actor was buried in Kyiv, at Berkovetske Cemetery, next to his father. A monument of dark stone with a semi-circular top decorated with his portrait was erected at the grave.
Recall that recently it was the anniversary of the death of Leonid Zhabotynsky. The Ukrainian was the "strongest man on the planet."
