Because of the director, there were unkind rumors around the celebrity.
Eldar Ryazanov was considered one of the main directors of Soviet cinema. A recognized master, he could ignite a career and glorify the artist throughout the country. But, as it turned out, in some cases he destroyed other people’s destinies.
So, Georgy Burkov first starred with Ryazanov in Zigzag of Fortune. In the film, he played the role of a photographer who suffers from alcohol addiction. And after that, Ryazanov more and more often invited Burkov to such roles. For example, the audience saw him in “Irony of Fate”, “Garage” and other tapes of the director.
As a result, this image was fixed for the artist. The audience and some colleagues of the screen star were sure that he also suffers from a love of alcohol outside the set. And the wife of the artist Tatyana Ukharova even admitted that once they tried to reprimand him for being drunk, but he managed to avoid accusations.
