The Polish TV series became a real hit in the USSR, and the actors who played the main roles immediately became popular people. Among them was Peter Vysotsky, who played Lieutenant Kozuba. Although he did not get into the famous crew of the Red tank, participation in the project that won the hearts of viewers was a clear milestone in the actor’s career.
Another unforgettable appearance of Vysocký on the movie screen is the charismatic role of Prince Jan Gintult in the historical film by the main Polish director Andrzej Wajda, dedicated to the participation of Poles in the Napoleonic wars of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The actor’s partners on the set were the stars of Polish cinema: Daniel Olbrychsky and Beata Tyszkiewicz.
The film is based on the story of the same name by Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev, which relates to the late period of his work. The story takes place in the middle of the 16th century in Ferrara. The picture was shot by Andrzej Zulawski, who, by the way, started as Andrzej Wajda’s assistant, and then “grew up” to make films with Romy Schneider and Klaus Kinski and Isabelle Adjani.
One of the main roles here was played by Pyotr Vysockij – Muzia, and his partner was once again Beata Tyszkiewicz.
Petr Vysockij was born on April 13, 1936 in Toruń. In 1964, he graduated from the Kraków Theater Academy, after which he began acting in films and theater. Until 2001, he was a member of the ensemble of the Osterwy Theater in Lublin. The actor has a son.
