Biography
Leonid Bronevoy was born on December 17, 1928 in the city of Kyiv in the Jewish family of Solomon Iosifovich Bronevoy (Faktorovic) and Bella Lvovna Bronevaya. In childhood, learned to play violin at the 10-year musical school under the Kyiv conservatory. His teacher was the famous Kyiv master, professor David Solomonovich Berthier.
The father of the future actor, Solomon Iosifovich Bronevoy (whose true family name is Faktoróvich) represented the family of an Odessian confectioner, acted in a Civil War, also worked at The State Political Directorate in 1920-1923, completed a legal education in Kiyv, where he met his future wife, a student of Economy Department. Worked at the Institute of National Economy until dismissal on charges of Trotskyism. In 1928 before the birth of a son Solomon Iosifovich got a job in Kyiv District economic department of the Prosecutor General's Office. His elder brother, Alexander Iosifovich Bronevoy, helped him with getting that job. Later, Solomon Iosifovich was sent to Ivanovo. In 1933 was awarded the Order of Red Star, and in 1934 in the rank of Major of State Security appointed the director of 6-th Department in USSR's People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs. In 1935 he was dismissed from the KGB and was appointed chief of Kiev's culture and recreation park. At September 13, 1936, was arrested and March 9, 1937 was sentenced to five years in prison(after the extension was released in 1946 to 1949 in exile, released in 1954). The actor's mother divorced him and changed his son middle name to "S.", but it did not help - as a "family enemy of the people" with their son, was sent into exile in the city of Kirov region Malmyzh.
In 1941, the family was allowed to return to Kiev, but the war began and they were evacuated to the city of Shymkent Kazakh SSR, where LS Bronevoj studied in high school and began to work independently. However, parents of Leonid Bronevoy never lived together.
In 1950 LS Bronevoj graduated from the Tashkent Theatrical Art Institute named by Ostrovsky. After the distribution in 1950 he worked in Magnitogorsk and Orenburg drama theaters.
In 1953, Leonid took a chance and went to Moscow where he was able to immediately enter the third year of Moscow Art Theatre School (class of AM Karev) and successfully finish it in 1955. After finishing the School-Studio actor left Moscow and got in Grozny Drama Theatre. Then there were the Irkutsk Drama Theater named after NP Okhlopkova, Voronezh State Academic Drama Theatre named after A. Koltsov.
From 1962 to 1988 was the leading actor of the Moscow Drama Theater on Malaya Bronnaya. Since 1988 - in the Moscow theater Lenkom.
First All-Union popularity Bronevoy got after playing a 45-year-old Muller role in the TV series "Seventeen Moments of Spring". He created the image of Gestapo chief - not primitive, sadistic bonecracker as it often portrayed the Gestapo in Soviet films, but a normal person with a sense of humor,simple manners and not too scrupulous attitude to the official ideology, but an intelligent, skilled professional and a dangerous enemy. And that image got striking, memorable, provocative and even respect for sympathy. Many replicas of television Mueller became popular expressios.
Another equally popular character of Bronevoy was the Doctor from the film "Formula of love". An elderly experienced man, for which there is nothing surprising in the World, nothing that could shake his confidence in the correctness of his views on life. Many phrases Doctor pronounced with the Bronevoy's intonation, became popular among the people. The same applies to the role of the artist's pop band Velour "Pokrovsky Gates."
In subsequent years the actor has played more than twenty roles in the movies. The latter, at the moment - the role of an old actor in Zhuravlev's film, "Simple Things", for which he received the "Nick" in March 2008.
