Many people admire Soviet actors. Their talent allowed them to easily cope with even the most difficult roles. They could easily amuse the people or make the hearts of even fundamentally different people beat in unison. However, not everyone knows that they also had to participate in hostilities and defend their homeland. Therefore, we present to your attention the top ten Soviet actors, as well as their brief front-line history.
Alexey Smirnov
One of the most famous Soviet actors, who is widely loved even by representatives of the modern generation. During the Great Patriotic War, he served as a scout and was able not only to kill 17 fascists, but also to personally capture 7 Nazis. However, Smirnov himself did not like to recall the time spent at the front. It is difficult to imagine how painful it was for him to lose his brother and father in this war. In 1944, the future actor was greatly shell-shocked, after which he was hospitalized. After that, Smirnov was commissioned, and he decided to start acting in films that are known to almost every inhabitant of Russia and the countries that were part of the Soviet Union.
Anatoly Papanov
The hero of the Soviet Union, who happened to appear in a huge number of comedies and films of other genres, was called up to the front on the very first day of the war - June 22, 1941. In just one year, he managed to rise to the rank of sergeant and go to the Southwestern Front, where a large-scale offensive of Soviet troops on the invaders was being prepared. At that time, a twenty-year-old boy commanded an anti-aircraft battery, and also played the role of an ordinary soldier who was ready to give his life in order to save his homeland. At the age of 21, he was seriously wounded in the leg and remained disabled for life. After that, Papanov decided to connect his life with the cinema.

Soon after, he began acting in famous films that millions of viewers loved.
Elina Bystritskaya
Few people know that the young actress happened to not only act in films, winning the hearts of millions of men, but also to protect her homeland from the Nazis. During World War II, Elina worked as a nurse in a mobile hospital and managed to save the lives of dozens of soldiers. Many may say that such a contribution to the victory is difficult to compare with that made by men who fought at the front. No matter how! It was the rear workers who provided optimal conditions for warfare. That is why Elina was awarded the Order of the second degree, as well as the medal "For the victory over Germany."

Leonid Gaidai
In 1942, the famous actor and director was called up from Mongolia, where he traveled around horses intended for the front.

The command identified Pugovkin as scouts of the 1147th motorized rifle regiment. Over the years of service, he managed not only to kill an uncountable number of fascists, but also to obtain valuable information that helped the Soviet army cope with the advance of the enemy. At the end of hostilities, he was awarded the Order of the Second Degree, as well as the medal "For Courage" and "For the Victory over Germany."
Evgeny Matveev
At the beginning of World War II, the young soldier only did that he was digging trenches, and erecting various fortifications near the city. However, a few months later he was sent to study at the Tyumen Infantry School, where he took a young fighter course in a short time in order to help the front in a different way. At the end of the war, he worked for some time as a teacher in this school, but nevertheless decided to connect his career with cinema, which gave happiness and smiles to many people.
