twenty-one-year-old vladimir konkin was filming then in the drama, how the steel was tempered.over of the soviet movie screen, where i was in budenovka, a magazine was published for the november holidays of the seventy-second year. the cover of this magazine replaced konchalovsky's photo tests for the main role. here he is, one hundred percent soviet romeo. konchulovsky decided not only to film konkin, but to persuade him to give up the role of korchagin. in the film how the steel was tempered, but konkin did not take this adventure, konchalovsky’s proposal seemed secondary to the young actor, he now has an epoch-making role, but what is this? i read script, the next day we saw each other, and i found 20 repetitions there, as i remember now, with korchagin, but i didn’t want to repeat myself, of course, they are very conventional, but then it seemed to me, so i’m saying, no, this is cranberry some kind of volodya, this is being filmed by mikhalkov konchilovsky, volodya, this is a different one for you, this is a different stage of creativity, and i haven’t gone through this yet

but konkin did not take this adventure.or himself, he supposedly had an ulcer, so that the picture could be made, it was necessary to hold out this story until spring, but when spring came, vladimir konkin already knew that he would not be able to act in film, he was exhausted, and i didn’t know how to tell him that i couldn’t act, and i still said it, i said, forgive me, please, i can’t do it with you, i don’t have the strength. what does it mean to be left without the actor on whom you placed your main bet? it’s difficult to survive this, and he turned away from me, which means he was looking at the window, he was looking at something there , there was his back, there was such a pause when moklov’s sword was hanging on this thread, so he said, oh well, that is, he lost in vain time, i say: well, little brother. you will do, i say, the younger one, yes, because the volume is small, andrei konchalovsky could be offended, angry, say goodbye forever to the person who let him down like that, but life is life, anything happens,
