igor starygin was approved for this role.ceful gestures and the sly look of a heartthrob, were the most suitable for the image of aramis. veniamin smekhov later recalled that at first glance, starygin seemed a fragile intellectual. this impression of fragility turned out to be deceptive. aramis, along with everyone else, fenced, rode a horse and exchanged barbs with his friends musketeers. for which on the set he was even called a viper. but what is a knight without love, but in order to shoot the role of athos, veniamin, smekhov, the actor of the scandalous taganka theater, i had to resort to some tricks; i had to curry favor with the officials in order to be approved for the role of athos. well, that means you wrote with your friends, skit, i spoke between slichenka and mironov sher there in the house, but now i’m reading something of my own in the hall, all my people are sitting vysotsky is a fan of the musketeers because this is his friend khilkevich and volodya speaks in everything. they will approve. vysotsky was right.
