The popularly beloved Russian actor Yuri Vladimirovich Nikulin for most spectators will always be a good -natured hero from comedy films and a brilliant clown of the Moscow Circus. And few will be able to correlate his “amusing” images in the cinema with a senior sergeant who went through the Great Patriotic War. In one of the episodes of the “Diamond Hand”, the character of Yuri Nikulin Nedotep Gorbunkov mentioned: “He did not hold military weapons from the war.” However, not many will guess that behind this lightweight phrase lies the artist’s difficult military experience. Indeed, behind Yuri Nikulin, almost 8 years of service, and two wars are Finnish and Great Patriotic War.
“Seven long years” are the memories of not a great actor, but an ordinary soldier who survived hunger, pneumonia and war, but who had the strength to laugh even when there was blood and pain around.
