Bearded means special. The main bearded men of Russian cinema
Let's take a look at the "Lambersexual" portraits of the 19th century together with Sofia Bagdasarova.
Lambersexual (from the English lumberjack - "lumberjack") - a brutal man with a beard. Nowadays, a beard is a symbol of masculinity, a way to emphasize one's own individuality, to stand out from the crowd. In the middle and in the second half of the 19th century in Russia, a beard was also worn in order to show the difference between its owner and those around him..
At that time, only completely “free” people could afford not to shave - those who were not in the service of the state. (Yes, even representatives of simple classes - the clergy, merchants, peasants and Old Believers.)
For others, there were special laws and rescripts. Under Nicholas I, only officers could wear mustaches, and officials were required to shave their entire faces smoothly. Only by going on promotion, they could afford short sideburns - and then only if the authorities were supportive.
“At the same time, His Majesty deigned to command: not to allow any oddities in both mustaches and sideburns, observing that the former were not lower than the mouth, and the latter, if not reduced to the mustache, then also not lower than the mouth, shaving them on the cheeks against it."

The vegetation on the face of a metropolitan resident was considered a sign of freethinking and was not approved by the authorities. By the second half of the 19th century, intellectuals, representatives of the liberal public, began to intensively grow beards. As the famous memoirist Elizaveta Nikolaevna Vodovozova writes, “they didn’t want to look like, as they put it then, like “chinovals” or “chinodrals”, they didn’t want to wear an official stamp”. Growing a beard was a clear challenge to total state control.
After retiring, clean-shaven artillery lieutenant Leo Tolstoy grows a beard - one of the most recognizable in Russian art. Petrashevets Aleksey Pleshcheev, exiled as a simple soldier to the Orenburg battalion, upon returning from exile, soon starts magnificent vegetation on his face. A graduate of the Naval Cadet Corps, Vasily Vereshchagin, having gone into civilian life and completely surrendering to painting, happily joins the ranks of the bearded men. There are countless examples. A beard meant belonging to a "free" profession - a writer, journalist, artist, architect; "barefoot" face - the presence of a demanding boss with stupid rules.

In the same era, Slavophilism spread: among thinking people, this meant in fashion a return to the "old Russian traditions." They recalled that before the law of Peter the Great of 1705 “On shaving beards and mustaches of all ranks to people, except for priests and deacons, on taking a fee from those who do not want to fulfill it, and on issuing signs to those who paid the fee” a beard was an indispensable sign of a real Russian person.
This was in line with a common European fashion trend: mustaches, sideburns and beards became a popular accessory for the Victorian man in the 1850s. It is believed that the long residence of the British among the mustachioed Indians, as well as the Crimean War and the mass return of overgrown veterans, contributed to this. Prior to this, in Europe, facial hair was also considered a symbol of the revolutionary spirit and political provocation.

The position of the state regarding beards softened in

In the 21st century, bearded men are back in trend.
The relationship of domestic actors with facial hair develops in different ways. For some, this is a production necessity, for others it is part of the image and a tribute to fashion. We remembered which of the Russian actors recently appeared in the frame with a beard and where they got it from.
Konstantin Khabensky in "Method": let go of his beard especially for the role
On October 18, Channel One premiered the series " Method", which is by no means a remake of the American " Dexter". The main character of Rodion Meglin, a mysterious and secretive lone investigator with incredible disclosure of cases of various maniacs, was played by Konstantin Khabensky. According to director Yuri Bykov, the actor created an image on the screen that was completely uncharacteristic of him: there was no such thing in his filmography. To create a severe ascetic appearance, the director insisted that Khabensky grow a beard. A raincoat and a cap were added to the image by Alexander Tsekalo.

At the closed premiere of "Method" Konstantin Khabensky appeared already without excess facial hair. The actor admitted to the correspondent of Vokrug TV that he didn’t really like the beard that he let go specifically for the role. “The beard in Method was made specifically for this project. The director and I were looking for an image. And in terms of comfort, I can say this: a beard is a beard. But I don't follow fashion. Image and fashion are two different things. It is the image that sets the fashion, and not vice versa, ”Konstantin Khabensky explained in an interview with Vokrug TV.
By the way, the beard specially “grown” for filming in “Method” came in handy for the actor to work on another project. We all remember that in Yolki 1914, Khabensky finally comes out of the shadows. If in the previous parts of the franchise he only read voice-over text, then he was given a small but important role. The actor played an officer of the tsarist army, who helped one of the main characters. And to the delight of the make-up artists, Khabensky did not have to glue the beard - the main sign of that time: he came to the shooting of "Yolok 1914" with his own.

So he thought so, so he is in no hurry to part with excess facial hair and wears a beard in real life. There is no such thing as too much brutality!

Fyodor Bondarchuk in "Warrior": let go of his beard especially for the role
An elegant beard has long been an attribute of Fyodor Bondarchuk's style and the main vegetation on his head. We no longer remember when the actor and director was different. Ivan Urgant reminded us of this on the air of the Evening Urgant show, showing photos of Fyodor Bondarchuk with luxurious hair on his head.

Now all that remains of her are memories and compensation in the form of a small beard. But for the sake of the role in the film "Warrior" Fyodor Bondarchuk had to let go of a real beard.

Vladimir Mashkov in the series "Grigory R.": the beard was false
In general, the actor let go of his beard specifically for the role. He did this for the sake of filming in the Ashes series directed by Vadim Perelman. Vladimir Mashkov does not act simultaneously in several projects, therefore, in principle, he can afford such a luxury - to grow a beard.
True, in another project of Channel One - the series "Grigory R." - the actor's beard in the frame is a consignment note. Perhaps simply because at different periods of the hero's life, the vegetation on his face is of different lengths. Meanwhile, Mashkov's false beard in Grigory R. - a special pride of the make-up artists of the project. She looked naturalistic and did not peel off, no matter what happened to the actor during the day. Mashkov could easily act in fight scenes and even wash his face with her. It's all about a special technology: a special glue was applied to the actor's cheeks, and a beard was literally put on by a hair. The only downside was that it took two hours each day to put on the make-up, and it took a little less time to take it off. By the way, the actor grew his semi-long hair for the role of Grigory Rasputin himself - this is not a wig.

Danila Kozlovsky in the sequel to the film "The Spiritless ": grew a beard specifically for the role
For several months, the actor grew a beard for the sake of a month of filming in Bali. According to the plot, his hero leaves for the island at the end of the first part. But circumstances force him to return to Moscow. In one of the scenes, the hero himself shaves off his beard. The episode was filmed on a grand scale. For everything about everything, only one take! If something went wrong, then you would have to put on an artificial beard and shave it already - the effect would not be the same. Moreover, the actor specifically released facial hair for the sake of the role. But in the end, the scene was filmed in one take. In general, it was possible to observe one hundred percent accuracy, and in the frame the audience naturally saw how Danila Kozlovsky shaves off his real beard.

Grigory Dobrygin in "Territory": let go of his beard especially for the role
Not for the first time the young actor Grigory Dobrygin grows a beard. He already released her for filming in the film Anton Corbijn"The most dangerous man", where Dobrygin got the role of a Muslim from Chechnya, embroiled in spy games. To work in " Territory" the actor was again forced to acquire facial hair. But it seems that the beard is not at all burdensome for him. On Grigory Dobrygin's Instagram, try to find his pictures without a beard!

We can say that the beard and mustache are the main accessory of people with non-standard thinking, real personalities who have always stood out from the crowd. The mustache and beard of Nicholas 2, Lenin and other famous personalities will forever remain in history.
The beard has long been considered a symbol of courage and male power. Perhaps that is why almost every great personality, prominent politicians, revolutionaries had beards or mustaches. Let's take a closer look at which famous bearded men left a serious mark on world history (in our opinion).
Albert Einstein
The great scientist, the founder of modern theoretical physics, no doubt a well-read and intelligent man, also preferred a mustache to a smooth-shaven face. It’s probably hard to imagine now what Einstein would have looked like without his mustache, which complemented his lush gray hair.
Freddie Mercury
Without a doubt, the great singer, who left behind many hits, had remarkable charisma. Fire was felt in every song, and his manner of performance brings goosebumps even today. A thick black mustache flaunted over Mercury's upper lip when he was already mega popular and became his signature feature.
Clark Gable
This great actor, the sex symbol of the cinema of the 30s and 40s, is rarely remembered by moviegoers. But his spectacular pencil mustache and slight squinting of his eyes are impossible to forget. The ideal style of the “King of Hollywood”, a real womanizer man, was assigned to the name of Clark Gable for a long time. A narrow thin strip of hair above the upper lip was always neatly cut and complemented the image of a real "macho" conqueror of women's hearts.
Joseph Stalin
The great dictator, who was feared by everyone during his reign, left a bloody trail in the history of mankind. Thousands of dead, millions of people exiled to camps and "enemies of the people", constant repressions and high-profile reprisals. This great ruler became famous for such feats. One thing can be said that his oriental blood and magnificent mustache dreamed in terrible dreams for many people.
Salvador Dali
Historians claimed that this man was strange and not far from insanity, so his mustache was also far from standard. With such a long protruding mustache, it was hardly possible to get a job as a teacher or a financier in a decent cantor. Such non-standard vegetation on the face of the great artist simply obliged him to paint surrealistic paintings that were on the verge of human understanding.
Nikita Mikhalkov
For reference! Great Soviet and Russian actor, director and producer. He starred in cult films, and his mustache conquered many women's hearts.
And today in Russia, it is Mikhalkov who is considered a role model among actors who listen to his opinion and consider him a wise and important person in cinema. His images have always been courageous and strong, and the mustache was an integral part of them.
Che Guevara
It was this noble revolutionary and underground worker who also had a stern appearance and a bearded face. Naturally, under the conditions of the revolution, he had no time to turn around in front of a mirror and shave his cheeks smoothly every day. Only severity, only revolution!
Vasily Chapaev
Today, any fashionista would envy the full magnificent mustache of the head of the division Chapaev. Not every man, leading a healthy lifestyle and properly caring for facial hair, can boast the same results. Chapaev's mustache is a trend! Naturally, genes play a big role, and Chapaev apparently couldn’t take away testosterone!
Semyon Budyonny
This great military leader left a big mark on Soviet military history. He showed himself as a fearless, brave and intelligent warrior. At the same time, he loved to wear a magnificent mustache. His appearance cannot be confused with anyone, and Budyonny's mustache is his calling card. Perhaps such lush facial hair added to the military courage and desire for victory.
Nicholas II
Important! Russian Emperor Nicholas II was smart and calm, he became the first global peacemaker. He adored port wine and dreamed of moving the capital to Yalta.
These historical facts are not known to everyone; they did not write about this in history books. The sovereign's thick, full beard looked royal. Although in youthful photos Nikolai is depicted with a thin small mustache. There are many facts about the strength, courage of this ruler and his great mind. He did a lot for Russia and this cannot be denied.
Lenin
The great revolutionary did not wear a beard or mustache until 1917. Lenin's beard appeared closer to the time of the mass uprisings, at which time the leader looked like he is depicted in all the portraits. The great historical figure was able to lead the people to a revolution and a coup, which is not so easy, therefore it is impossible to deny his strength and influence on people. There are many opinions, but there is no need to argue about fortitude, intelligence and a beautiful beard.
All these great people with a beard or mustache left an important mark on the history of revolutions, culture, cinema, music. All of them possessed charisma, masculinity and fortitude. Sometimes it’s even hard to imagine how much they carried on their shoulders and how they coped with everything on their own. Perhaps the beard and mustache did not play a big role in history, but they definitely influenced the character of men!
