He often had to be embarrassed.

The productivity of Viktor Ilyichev amazed many of his colleagues, since every year the actor starred in 5 or 6 films. Therefore, the audience often watched the artist play on large screens. And one of his most striking works was the role of Fedka Byk in the drama “Green Van”.

However, in the extensive filmography of the maestro there were many other interesting projects. And even with the beginning of the dashing 90s, fans hoped that their idol would remain in demand in the film industry. But the miracle did not happen, and proposals were received extremely rarely. Then the actor gathered his strength and emigrated to the United States. A little earlier, his wife also moved there, who was offered the job of a choreographer.

The life of a married couple in a country alien to them might not be called a fairy tale. Ilyichev struggled to get a new, worthy profession. But the former Soviet movie star was offered to mop floors and pack goods in the store. And when Russian buyers recognized the artist, he tried to laugh it off faster so as not to feel embarrassed and embarrassed. Fate threw the actor another terrible test, and in 2008 he died of cancer.
