(From the biography)

Speak, you in 13 years have decided to become the actor. Who has affected a trade choice?

(Smiling) to the Girl. It has gone to a theatrical circle, and I have registered behind it. But it is quickly cunning, and I – see, how was late.

The successful actor, the director, script writer – the person versatile. And films on a genre different, and characters of heroes too. What of genres to you is closer?

The interesting. That excites me. I read product, it starts me to excite – beauty of feelings, beauty of thoughts of heroes, or on the contrary – meanness, insidiousness, cunning...

Imagine Russian fairy tale. Кощей Immortal is very good role. It is not obligatory to play Ivan Tsarevicha who releases Vasilisu Fine.

Means, you negative roles have more to liking?

I so have not told. I so see, let us assume, Alla Ilinichna Surikova more. She suggests me to play bribe takers, counterfeiters … My hero is already condemned, he already is imprisoned, but … semi-lux sits in the chamber (about a film �I Want in prison!�). It is a free economic zone in prison. The prison receives money because it there contains as it would be desirable for it.

And what roles are pleasant to you more?

I like good dramatic art. In good dramatic art always there are interesting roles - roles which overcome something, something is created. I very much like a role which I played a film "Riches" (under the novel of Pikulja). 12 series. A leading role. My hero practically alone battles to all corruption of that Kamchatka which was hundred years ago. But I am not assured that it was released from corruption and to this day.

What role was gave most difficultly?

More often I was able to agree with directors. We found common language. For me the question was not simply dealt with at shootings of a film "Red Square". It was very much for a long time. I played the sailor-anarchist. It had so original speech that I long thought, how it to appropriate how to make speech by the thinking. Because speech is a thinking of heroes.

And how there passed work on a film "Classic"?

This film is connected with billiards. In billiards I decently play, though my colleagues on a film do not take a great interest in this game … And so quickly in it too you will not learn to play. Experience, correctly is there and then necessary?

Who was your teacher? When you took for the first time кий?

Teachers were not. At film actor theatre where I have been distributed after cinematography Institute in 1954, there was a billiard room. In it also played. There there was a marker, time costed any small money. Here so began!

Say that known Russian billiard-player George Mitasov was a prototype of your hero in "Classic", and also that you are connected by long acquaintance.

Yes, we are familiar with it, but I did not ask George Stepanovicha, there was it a prototype or not.

Anyway, on its expression, �Nikonenko slightly can strike on a sphere� unlike featured actor Alexey Guskova �. The master, of course, severely approaches to everything, as to billiards …

If he trains a Russian national team, you understand, what there level? I realise that I am an average fan. There are fans who play much better me. I yet the sportsman.

Митасов acted in a role of the adviser for billiards in a film "Classic"?

When it was found out that Lesha Guskov never played billiards, and it should prove to be the super-player, the first to whom I have carried it, there was Mitasov. I have personally carried it to Mitasovu, have acquainted. And the trainer told to it "Az-beeches-conduct-speak-goods". Anybody yet did not speak about "ZHI-SHI-WRITE-S-I", about grammar when there still it is necessary to learn letters. And Lesha did not know even how to approach to a table.

Further this cooperation has proceeded?

Unfortunately, time did not suffice (sighs), as it usually at cinema happens. Replaced Leshu with doublers.

And you had doublers?

No. I all.

Whether "Classic" has affected your mutual relations with Mitasovym?

We are familiar with Mitasovym, probably, years 30. We as were on friendly terms … And if to imagine, what the picture acted in film about 5 years ago … That can affect 25-year-old friendship? I remember, how he played in Park of culture Bitter in the prime of life. Now it already the trainer, also I think, he any more does not play, as THAT Mitasov.

Whether in "Classic" except Mitasova there were still any advisers for billiards?

Yes, we had a master of sports Oleg … And also there was the adviser a high-class fan – Nikolay Kolchitsky. He plays much. And if it on sports level to translate, could and to play under 2 category.

With what you connect such popularity of billiards?

First, it is unusually democratic game: in it play both men, and women. Besides, it is gambling. This huge pleasure – in Russian billiards into such narrow billiard pockets to get, hammer in a sphere. And then is the game which does not have age.

And you are hazardous?

Yes, I am hazardous enough. Especially was earlier. Now I am able to operate, at least, the passion. And earlier – yes. Especially in cards played. Though in billiards it is possible to play too on a great sum (in any casino).

How often you spend time behind a billiard table?

Seldom. With the son I play, with friends. Though – yesterday gathered. Billiards is both the occasion to meet, and the occasion to talk, and the occasion to meet, and to play, take pleasure. More shortly to exchange news and to play.

Game unites people. There are many games. Very few people knows such game as "Alagyor". In it play 20 persons and even (grins) on the big money. Everyone puts 10 roubles, as a result someone wins one 200. Game on a start. People play one after another. It is possible to agree about two crosses or to three crosses. 20 persons are declined round a table and all are ill – for themselves both against each other. And simultaneously for all! It very much rallies, there is a history occasion to tell, jokes. This good carrying out of leisure.

What of kinds of billiards to you is closer?

Russian. Russian table. In it it is a lot of games. It is possible to play counters when counters in the middle so are put that between them can pass a sphere. Game consists in that, how many to bring down these counters. Game goes, in my opinion, to 61st.

Still I like "Sibirka". More precisely, in Moscow it is called as "Sibirka", and in all territory of its Russia name "Moskovkoj". As in America attractions name �Russian hills�, and at us them name "American".

And on tours it is possible to play billiards?

If there is a table, I in any way will not pass by not to strike.

You show what requirements to billiard tables?

Appearance should be in harmony. It is not obligatory, that it has been made of a light tree or тонирован under the red. The main thing that has been done with loving care. The most important – a plate which should be ideally equal.

What you does not suffice for happiness?

Sin of God гневит. Think that to other people is worse, than you, and thank the Lord.

You are the believing person?

On a way to belief.

What would you wish magazine, its edition and readers?

I would like to wish, that the magazine told about stories of this surprising game, what historical people played this game as it has been brought to Russia, whence occurs. More shortly that was both informative, and interesting. I always for formation, for that there were cheerful stories that the person understood, absorbed. That it would be desirable to transfer this magazine to the friend who does not play billiards that he has read and began to play.
