"That's how it happened." What happens to the star of "Inhabited Island" Vasily Stepanov

April 10 movie star "Inhabited Island" 31 year old Vasily Stepanov fell from the window of his apartment located on the third floor. Earlier, the media reported that the actor jumped from the fifth floor, but that information turned out to be erroneous. After hospitalization, Vasily was put in a plaster cast and sent home. However, a few days later he was taken to a psychiatric hospital. Now his relatives are not allowed to see the artist. And some media outlets disseminated information that Stepanov was diagnosed with schizophrenia.

The mother of the injured actor, Lyudmila, who came to the studio of the show “Let them talk” with Andrei Malakhov, decided to dot the “i's”. The woman said that her heir was forcibly kept in the clinic. “Contrary to press reports, Vasya did not fall from the fifth floor, he fell from the third, breaking only an arm and a leg. He went to get the cat. An ambulance arrived on call, we were sent to the Botkin hospital, where a plaster cast was applied. A few days later they let us go home, ”said Lyudmila.

However, many of the guests present at the show did not believe in the story of the actor's mother - after all, the media repeatedly reported on the depression and depression of Stepanov. Nevertheless, Lyudmila noted that her son is healthy and does not need such help. “He is a very sociable, adequate guy, not sick. We turned to Fedor Sergeevich Bondarchuk to help rescue my son from the clinic. I don’t want to get back the “vegetable”, he still has everything ahead of him, ”the artist's mother emotionally assured the audience.

Eight years ago, the screen version of the novel by the Strugatsky brothers, directed by Fyodor Bondarchuk, was released. They started talking about the leading actor Vasily Stepanov as a new sex symbol of our cinema. But the actor's career ended as abruptly as it began. And the impression is that in all subsequent years he only does what he pays for a bright takeoff ...

After "Inhabited Island" Vasily disappeared: he did not act in films, did not appear in the light, did not communicate with journalists. The reason for this is the depression that began in him. A couple of years ago, he broke his silence and gave an interview in which he said that he had been sitting without work for four years, because he was not invited to good projects, royalties were spent, he broke up with a girl, actress Daria Yegorova, and moved to his parents.

But last fall, photos from the cinema appeared on Vasily's Instagram. As it turned out, he starred in the film by Alexei Pimanov "Tankers" about the Great Patriotic War.

“I play a Soviet officer, the role is episodic, nothing hard, no action,” Stepanov shared then with Woman`s Day. - They began to invite to auditions after my parents and I appeared on television. Now I periodically go to auditions. Of course, I'm looking forward to new roles, but I'm not very eager to act in large projects. Now you need to get used to the profession. But I see myself only as an actor, I graduated from drama school, I have a diploma. There are no other changes yet, I haven’t had time to create a family, I live with my parents ”.

And here's a new misfortune: Vasily fell and received a fracture of the hip bone and two vertebrae, and now he will have to learn to walk again.

“The misfortune happened in mid-December,” the actor's friend Vladislav told the StarHit edition. - Vasya and his friends were returning home from the hypermarket, they bought gifts for the New Year. It was very cold outside then, and all the slush was frozen over. Near the entrance Vasya slipped, fell on his back right on the steps and could no longer get up! The doctors arrived in 10 minutes. Well, in the hospital, after examination and X-ray, they made a diagnosis. "

The media immediately recorded the actor as disabled. However, Woman’s Day’s journalists managed to get through to Stepanov’s relatives.

“What kind of disability are we talking about? - Vasily's brother Maxim Stepanov was surprised by the question. - I can't say for sure, I'm not a doctor, but the doctor himself doesn't say much. But not everything is so serious. Yes, there is a damaged spine, two vertebrae, but they do not affect its functional activity. And the pelvis. At this stage, they are going to put on a corset. Yesterday we talked about the operation, but it seems that it is no longer needed. On Tuesday, the operation was supposed to be and the attending physician told us about it. But everything turned out to be possible without surgery. We'll know for sure only tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. "

Maxim also noted that Vasily has been lying for more than 33 days. All this time, the family tried to keep the incident a secret.

“It's hard for him to stay in the hospital for so long. There is no particular attitude. We do our best to make him have more fun. It seems positive. But he has a supine state, the doctors do not allow him to walk, - the man notes. - Don't worry, he has a good doctor, a candidate of medical sciences. Many people call us, offer help, thank them very much! But for now we are coping on our own. Filming has been postponed and it cannot be predicted when it will start working again. We regularly come and visit. The bride is next to him, of course! He found a job, despite all these difficult periods ... And then something like that ... "

The main role in the film "Inhabited Island" by Fyodor Bondarchuk, based on the book of the Strugatsky brothers, lifted the young actor Vasily Stepanov to the top of the cinema olympus. Additional popularity to the artist was brought by his bright appearance - the girls were just crazy about Vasily. It would seem that Stepanov was threatened with a dizzying career in which one starring role would be replaced by another.

ON THIS TOPIC

But it didn't work out. After filming with Bondarchuk, Stepanov never appeared in the cinema, although he participated in various television projects and even visited the presenter. Despite the fact that his name was on everyone's lips, Vasily could not pull out a new lucky ticket. He went to auditions for a long time, but he heard refusals all the time. “I was on a bunch of castings, but they don’t take me anywhere. I negotiated with the producers, but in the end everything calmed down. I was offered to star in a video in Germany, but, unfortunately, I didn’t have a passport for it’s three days to get it, I don’t have it, ”Vasily told reporters.

Stepanov admitted that he was ready to take on any job. Allegedly, he worked as a loader, a night bus washer, tried to get a job in the police, put together a career as a model. All to no avail. Soon Stepanov suffered a new misfortune: his bride Daria Egorova left him. By the way, in a conversation with reporters, she claimed that the doctors diagnosed the unlucky actor with "manic depression."

Egorova claimed that Stepanov, contrary to the official version, received many proposals for filming, but he himself refused. “He just doesn't want to act anymore. He just got disillusioned with the cinema. This is a very difficult question, you know, when a person has a psychological shift, his behavior is very difficult to explain. His reality is confused with the past, with the future, with the events that he experienced. He himself does not know what he wants, "- said Yegorova. Daria bluntly said that she broke up with him because he "has no will," and "it would be very difficult for me to carry everything on myself, building family relations with him."

In August 2015, Vasily Stepanov was urgently hospitalized. The artist had a blood clot in his left leg. In the intensive care unit, doctors "caught" a blood clot: it had to be done as quickly as possible so that it would not go to the heart. If the actor had not been taken to the hospital on time, a vascular problem could have been fatal. Fortunately, Vasily was saved.

This event returned the attention of the press to the actor. The journalists even paid a visit to Stepanov's home, and besides, there was a reason - his birthday. However, what they saw was simply discouraged. When the doorbell rang at the door of the actor's apartment, Vasily's father indignantly shouted at him: "Open it yourself, ****!" And when the door opened and the birthday man appeared on the threshold, it was obvious that there was no question of any holiday. Stepanov celebrated the round date in a dirty T-shirt. As the journalists suggested, neither the parents nor his younger brother Maxim found an opportunity to arrange a holiday for the hero of the day, which makes us draw conclusions about what kind of relationship reigned in the family.

By the end of 2016, in Stepanov's film career, covered in darkness and dust, a gap had dawned. On his page on the social network Instagram, the artist published photos from the shooting of the historical film. Numerous fans immediately showered congratulations on Vasily. And the journalists concluded that the actor finally came out of oblivion. Stepanov even changed his image by visiting the salon of the famous stylist Alexander Todchuk.

But it was not there. In January, the media reported that Vasily Stepanov broke his spine, slipping on the ice. Doctors did not even give any predictions about whether the actor would be able to walk. For a whole month Stepanov was confined to a hospital bed. Nevertheless, Vasily was able to get back on his feet and even was discharged from the hospital.

And here again the misfortune. The other day Vasily Stepanov fell out of the window. The actor again ended up in the clinic, where he was diagnosed with multiple fractures, including a fracture of the pelvis, right shoulder, both calcaneus and multiple bruises. Eyewitnesses said that the actor fell out of the window of an apartment located on the fifth floor. Also, witnesses assured that no one pushed Stepanov, he fell himself.

In favor of the fact that a real drama was played out in the life of the actor, recent events testify. The night before, on April 12, an ambulance was called to Stepanov, who complained of chest pains. The arriving doctors noted the strange behavior of the artist. Then a special brigade was called. As a result, the star of the film "Inhabited Island" was hospitalized in the Alekseev psychiatric hospital. In the clinic, the artist was diagnosed with schizophrenia.

Later it turned out that Vasily had already made attempts to commit suicide in the summer of 2016. Then the family managed to save the actor. In addition, it turned out that shortly after filming the first part of "Inhabited Island" Stepanov was treated in a neurosis clinic.

And according to the latest media reports, it turned out that Vasily broke his spine in winter for a reason. Allegedly, he did not slip, but fell out of the window of the fourth floor of his house and landed on the visor. However, the relatives preferred to hide this fact.

The star of "Inhabited Island" Vasily Stepanov (the guy just stopped developing at one time) faced a new misfortune. As soon as he started to get out of severe depression, the actor fell and broke his spine. At the same time, his co-star in the film, Pyotr Fedorov, has long been a superstar and acts in five films a year and even in the West.

Relatives of Stepanov have long suspected that Vasily was jinxed or cursed. Painfully a lot of tests fell on the lot of the 31-year-old guy. A prolonged depression covered Stepanov after the success of the film "Inhabited Island", where he played the main role, and did not allow him to develop further. He said in an interview that roles are not offered, and he himself does not want anything. The actor was abandoned by his beloved due to lack of money. He vegetated in poverty, lived with his parents and complained about the lack of demand in the profession.

As soon as the light dawned at the end of the tunnel and Vasily began to act again (albeit not in the main roles), a new disaster struck him. Stepanov injured his spine, falling into the ice. Doctors find it difficult to say when he will now be able to walk and whether he will be able at all (!) The artist has been confined to a hospital bed for a month now.

“The misfortune happened in mid-December, - said a friend of the actor. - Vasya and his friends were returning home from the hypermarket, they were buying gifts for the New Year. It was very cold outside then, and all the slush froze over. Near the entrance, Vasya slipped and fell on his back. I couldn't get up the stairs! "

Friends immediately called an ambulance and covered the victim with jackets so that he would not freeze. Vasily, while he was lying, was not touched, as they understood that his musculoskeletal system could be damaged. “The doctors arrived in 10 minutes. Well, in the hospital, after examination and X-ray, they made a diagnosis,” said Stepanov's friend.

According to the doctors' conclusion, the actor has a fracture of the hip bone and two vertebrae. Now the star of Inhabited Island will have to learn to walk again.

Relatives visit Stepanov every day. "Vasya is not at all discouraged," a friend assured the reporters. "Plus, the hospital feeds well. The doctors do not yet predict when he will start walking again. But the rehabilitation course has already been approved - they have asked to buy a corset and crutches. Despite the pain, Vasya jokes:" But there is time to read the scripts! "

It seems to me that Vasily Stepanov should realize that he is not an actor at all and finally do something more worthy. The endless expectation in this dependent profession of such a weak person as Stepanov (and I read his interview and wondered - what is he waiting for?) Will simply kill.

MOSCOW, April 13 - RIA Novosti. Actor Vasily Stepanov, who played the main role in the film "Inhabited Island", fell out of the window of a residential building in Moscow. Now the artist is at home.

What's happened

A source familiar with the situation told RIA Novosti that the incident happened on Monday. According to him, the actor fell from a small height - from about the third floor.

"After the fall, he remained alive, refused hospitalization," the agency's interlocutor said.

As the source noted, Stepanov himself jumped down, but the motive for this act is not yet known.

The fact that happened in the house on Davydkovskaya Street was confirmed by the press service of the Moscow Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. There, however, they refused to name the victim.

About the state of the actor

The film is an adaptation of the fantastic story of Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. According to the plot, Maxim Kammerer is a pilot of the Free Search Group, whose starship made an emergency landing on the planet Saraksh.

Both parts were the leaders of the Russian box office and were among the highest-grossing films in Europe at the end of 2009. At the same time, given the large budget (more than $ 35 million), the film never paid off.

"Inhabited Island" received the Golden Eagle awards for the best camera work (Maxim Osadchiy), the best music (Yuri Poteenko) and the best editing (Igor Litoninsky).
