Igor Maslennikov

Igor Fyodorovich Maslennikov ( _ru. Игорь Фёдорович Масленников) (b. 26 October 1931) is a Russian film director.

He was born in Gorky. In 1954 Maslennikov completed his education in the department of journalism of the Leningrad University and worked as editor and writer on Leningrad television. In 1965 he entered the highest producer courses of Lenfilm (Grigori Kozintsev's workshop), at end of which he became the director of this motion picture studio.

In the cinema, Maslennikov made his debut at the end of the 1960s with a film about a senior pupil: the "Personal Life of Kuzyaev Valentin". He staged films for children ("Tomorrow" and "3rd April"), movies about sports ("Racers"), historical costume-dramas ("Yaroslavna, the Queen of France"). He worked on the joint Soviet-Norwegian picture "Under the Rock Sky", which narrates the sad events which occurred in one of the Norwegian towns during the Nazi occupation. He filmed Vera Panova's autobiographical "Sentimental novel".

Enormous success came to Maslennikov when he directed the cycle of films about Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson. The successful selection of the actors, among whom there were Vasily Livanov, Vitaly Solomin, Borislav Brondukov, Rina Zelyonaya, Nikita Mikhalkov and the outstanding talent of the director ensured a film audiences love.

In 1985 Maslennikov presented a melodrama "Winter cherries". The movie became one of the greatest blockbusters of the decade and gained Elena Safonova a wide reputation. The special feature of this everyday melodrama was that for the first time the spectator saw on the screen a strong but misunderstood woman played by Safonova. The popularity of this film inspired Maslennikov to create sequels in 1997.

In 1989 Maslennikov filmed the television adventure picture "Philipp Traum", based on the unfinished Mark Twain novel "The Mysterious Stranger". The cinema version was named "Chronicle of Satan Jr.". He made a co-production with French partners, filming the story of Leonid Andreyev ("The Dark"), where the main roles were played by Oleg Yankovsky and Ksenia Kachalina.

Malennikov became People's Artist of the RSFSR in 1988. In 2001 he received the State Prize of Russia.
