Fedor Bondarchuk. Here and now
Fyodor Bondarchuk: “I hear: he has it all on a plate, it’s easy for him. Why is it easy for me? I have the burden of responsibility - the last name. This is a reinforced concrete slab for life. There are a huge number of children of filmmakers whose destinies are distorted, who have sunk into the abyss precisely from the weight of the responsibility that fell on them. Therefore, based on the result, I can only thank and constantly think about my father. He guides me, he is my guardian angel.”
At the age of 17, Fedor went to enter MGIMO. And I probably would have done so. However, in life, one short “but” often changes everything. The father came straight to the exam, took his son by the hand and headed to VGIK. Ten days later, Fyodor Bondarchuk could no longer imagine his life without cinema. Life turned upside down. Forever. This is happiness - studying and doing what you love - cinema. But! Fedor left the family. From his mother and father, who personally set him on this path.

- At the age of 17, Fedor went to enter MGIMO. And I probably would have, but in life everything often changes with one short “but.” The father came straight to the exam, took his son by the hand and took him to VGIK. Ten days later, Fyodor Bondarchuk could no longer imagine his life without cinema.
Life turned upside down. Forever. This is happiness - studying and doing what you love - cinema. But!.. Fedor left the family. From his mother and father, who personally set him on this path.
Reconciliation will come much later. In an unexpected place and under unexpected circumstances. In the meantime, study and filming. Fedor lived with his fellow student Tigran Keosayan. A lot of people gathered - students, actors, musicians. They planned to shoot music videos there. Nobody knew how to do it, but they did it. In 1993, Fedor was awarded the Ovation Prize. His father suddenly appeared on stage. The creator of the Oscar-winning epic “War and Peace” presented his son with an award. For video clips.
His father’s name is the same reinforced concrete slab that Bondarchuk did not allow himself to be crushed. It will take him a long time to get to his directorial debut. Before the final credits of the film “9th Company” there are two words in the frame: “Dedicated to my father.” After the “9th Company”, the seemingly difficult and overwhelming “Inhabited Island” took place, “Stalingrad” was already in the plans - life picked up speed, but...
Back in 2012, when Fyodor Bondarchuk and I recorded an interview for the anniversary film about his mother, Irina Skobtseva, he simply did not answer the question about his sister Alena, who died in 2009. Silently stood up and left. The interview is over. But today he was able to say. But this does not mean that it has become easier. Fyodor Bondarchuk: “It’s difficult for me to cope, so it’s somehow arranged for me that sometimes this, sometimes these toggle switches don’t work and it becomes very difficult. Because it was like your heart was ripped out of you. We have a difference... 5 years. She left, she was 46 years old. It burned down within a year.”
Bondarchuk is a fighter. Those who work with him, who know him closely, say this about him. Konstantin Kryukov, his nephew, Alena’s son, answering the question of how he is like his uncle, says that this is less important than what you want to be like him in: the ability to take a blow and move forward.
“9th Company”, “Inhabited Island”, “Stalingrad” - he made all these films with the same team, with people whom he trusted unconditionally. But!.. He once said that he would make the new movie “Attraction” not with them, but with a new team that would unite around him and work like clockwork. This is a challenge to yourself. Again. Just like many years ago, when he left his parents’ house to prove that “I am me.” Breaking away from templates, from the beaten path, from other people's opinions and advice, Bondarchuk draws strength from this. And that means happiness. The same thing about which he says: “There is no permanent happiness. It is so short!.. In the morning I ride a bicycle, I feel the time, the city, myself in this world - and this is happiness. It is fleeting, fleeting, but it is mine!..”
We wrote a long interview with Bondarchuk in two parts. He talked about everything - creativity, mistakes, success, losses, family, children, love, and, of course, happiness. But I couldn’t sit still for more than an hour. And he ran away. And there is a lot of work ahead. And they are waiting for him. People are waiting who unite around this person, charging and becoming infected with his energy to be happy here and now.

Fyodor Bondarchuk: I hear: he has it all on a plate, it’s easy for him.
Why is it easy for me? I have a burden of responsibility - my last name.
This is a reinforced concrete slab for life.

Ten days later, Fyodor Bondarchuk could no longer imagine his life without cinema.
Life turned upside down.
Forever.
This is happiness - studying and doing what you love - cinema.
But! Fedor left the family.
From his mother and father, who personally set him on this path.
Reconciliation will come much later.
In an unexpected place and under unexpected circumstances.
In the meantime, study and filming.
Fedor lived with his fellow student Tigran Keosayan.
A lot of people gathered - students, actors, musicians.
They planned to shoot music videos there.

Before the final credits of the film 9th Company, there are two words in the frame: I dedicate it to my Father.
After the 9th company, the seemingly difficult and overwhelming Inhabited Island took place, Stalingrad was already in the plans - life picked up speed, but...
Back in 2012, when Fyodor Bondarchuk and I recorded an interview for the anniversary film about his mother, Irina Skobtseva, he simply did not answer the question about his sister Alena, who died in 2009.

Fyodor Bondarchuk: It’s difficult for me to cope, so it’s somehow arranged for me that sometimes this, sometimes these toggle switches don’t work and it becomes very difficult.
Because it was like your heart was ripped out of you.
We are 5 years apart.
She left.
She was 46 years old.
It was 46 years old.
It burned down within a year.
Bondarchuk is a fighter.

Just like many years ago, when he left his parents' house to prove that I am me.
Breaking away from templates, from the beaten path, from other people's opinions and advice, Bondarchuk draws strength from this.
And that means happiness.
The very thing he talks about: There is no permanent happiness.
It's so short! In the morning I ride a bicycle, I feel the time, the city, myself in this world - and this is happiness.
It is fleeting, fleeting, but it is mine!
