His talent is multifaceted, so he was subject to the most diverse images. For this, he was awarded the title of Honored Artist of Russia, although an inexplicable paradox was observed: the venerable lyceum Sergey Bekhterev did not have his own living space. Of course, such a problem should have been solved by his native church of Melpomene, and he gave the actor the keys to the official apartment, but the actor did not live in it. He lost his own housing, falling for the bait of scammers. He survived this deception hard. What was the creative path of the famous actor? Let's consider this question in more detail.

The burden of raising the boy fell on the shoulders of his grandmother, who surrounded him with care. At the same time, Sergey Bekhterev’s father tried to keep in touch with him, and the boy eventually found a common language with his stepmother.
The actor’s love for great art arose in early childhood. Sergei Bekhterev said that when he was 4 years old, he wanted to try on the images of two bright and charismatic leaders: Lenin and Hitler. Seven years later, he was fortunate enough to act in films: he took part in the film “Amazing Mortgage” directed by Leonid Makarychev.

Abramov “Brothers and Sisters” in 1986 was awarded the USSR State Prize.
He brilliantly reincarnated as the representative of Ganichev. The artist Sergei Bekhterev was able to depict his hero as accurately as possible: a wolf's grin, iron teeth, soreness of consciousness - a kind of combination of executioner and saint. Ganichev takes the latter away from poor families, and his children suffer from night blindness. In general, there was something to play, and the actor brilliantly coped with the task.
As already emphasized, the versatility of the talent of Sergei Stanislavovich was evident. He played both comedic (a young shepherd in the Shakespearean Winter's Tale) and dramatic roles (Gaev in the Chekhov's Cherry Orchard). The images of fairy-tale heroes also succeeded him (the Master in Star Boy by O. Wilde). He even played on the stage of women (a prostitute in Coltes' Roberto Zucco).
