Over the past 2 years, the coronavirus has claimed the lives of a huge number of famous people. January 30, 2022 among them was Victor Merezhko. People’s Artist of the Russian Federation managed to achieve considerable success in the creative sphere. He is known as a professional screenwriter, film director, actor, writer and TV presenter. In this article, we want to honor the memory of Viktor Ivanovich and tell you a little more about him.
Victor Merezhko Up to 15 years old Victor Merezhko lived in the Rostov region. And then together with his parents moved to Ukraine. There, the guy learned Ukrainian and graduated from a local school. However, he failed to enter the coveted Kyiv Polytechnic University.
At first Merezhko worked as a woodcutter, and then went to work. But a few years later, Viktor Ivanovich returned to Ukraine, namely to Lviv. There he graduated from the Ivan Fedorov Ukrainian Polygraphic Institute. And then went to his homeland, where he began to work in the publishing house as an engineer-technologist.
But Merezhko’s ambitions did not allow him to stay in one place for a long time. He entered VGIK and as a student shot the first short film “Zarechen grooms” according to his own script. It was thanks to the script work that Viktor Ivanovich managed to loudly declare himself.
According to his scripts, more than 60 films were shot, as well as 12 cartoons. The most famous of them are the film “Homeland” by Nikita Mikhalkov, the film “Flights in Dreams and Reality” by Roman Balayan and “Lonely Woman Wants to Meet” by Vyacheslav Krishtofovich.
The career of Victor Merezhko Merezhko is not just a professional screenwriter. He was a man of subtle mental organization, as manifested in his works. Moral problems of modern society are the main topic that worried Viktor Ivanovich.
In addition, Merezhko’s scripts were loved and appreciated for the deep study of each character. For example, it can be traced in the painting “Trash” by Gregory Chukhray. By the way, Viktor Ivanovich also wrote plays, many of which were very fond of the audience.
The writer made a serious contribution to the development of domestic television. For a long time he hosted the television program “Cinema”. And then he helped create a new TV-6 Moscow channel. There Merezhko began to conduct the program “My Cinema”.
In the 90s, Viktor Ivanovich increasingly appeared on screens as an actor. Best of all, he was given roles in crime series. For example, the audience especially liked his image in the series “Mole”.
Over the years of his career Merezhko starred in 12 films. As a director, he created 11 films. “Directoring is hard work. It's not just working with actors. This is also work with the operator, artist, makeup artist, costumer, administrators. But I tried it and suddenly felt a special magic in it, Viktor Ivanovich said.
Merezhko’s attitude to the profession Merezhko loved to play, but it was difficult for him to combine directing with acting. He had a lot of freedom when writing scripts. It is not surprising that in the old days, directors lined up to get another script by Viktor Ivanovich.
According to Merezhko, representatives of creative professions are kind of defenders of their people and country. Viktor Ivanovich always defended the interests of the state in which he lived. Moreover, he considered cinema as a means by which to reach people.
I believe that cinema should and can educate people at all times. It is impossible to live and work solely for money. It seems to me that love is the main ideology that should be adhered to, creating scripts and shooting new films, Viktor Ivanovich said.
Personal life of Victor Merezhko Merezhko said that respecting a woman, you need to respect her to the end. However, this did not prevent him from occasionally cheating on his wife Tamara Vadimovna. When Viktor Ivanovich began to torment his conscience, he decided to repent, writing the script for the film “Forgive.”
In this film, Merezhko himself and his daughter Maria, who followed in the footsteps of her father, starred. She became an actress and screenwriter. Also, Viktor Ivanovich has a son named Ivan, he works as a decorator.
Victor Merezhko said that he made his films with hearty warmth and a desire to make people feel good, not disgusting. Perhaps that is why his work was so successful and popular. Anyway, the screenwriter left his mark in the history of domestic cinema. His memory is bright!
