He was born into a military family at 126 First Meshchanskii Street (Prospekt Mir- the house was not preserved, in its place is an apartment building). He resided here from 1938-1941, 1943-1946 and for the last time from 1955-1962. From 1946 Vysotsky lived with his father's new family, including from 1947-49 in the town of Ebersvald, Germany. Returning to Moscow, the family moved to 15 Bol'shoi Karetny Lane (memorial plaque). Thus the question -- his favorite place in his favorite city? Vysotsky answered: Samoteka, Moscow (the place his poem Bolshoi Karetny is dedicated to). On Bolshoi Karetny Lane was school No. 186, which Vysotsky finished in 1955; in his apartment on Bolshoi Karetny he met I. V. Kochanovsky, V. M. Shukshin, A. A> Tarkovsky, O. A. Stizhenov and others. In 1955-6 he studied in the Moscow Engineering-Construction Institute B.B. Kuibyshev, in 1960nhe finished the studio school MKhAT Nemirovich-Danchenko (on Kamergersky Lane, 3A), and he worked in the Moscow drama theater A. S. Pushkin (23 Tverskaia Blvd.) and the Taganka Theater from 1964. The most significant roles he played in the theater were: Galileo (Galileo B. Brecht, 1966), Khlopusha (Pugachev by S. A Esenin, 1967), Hamlet (Hamlet, W. SHakespeare), and Lopakhin (The Cherry Orchard, A. P. Chekhov). His first big film role was the radio operator in the film "Vertikal'" (1967) where Vysotsky performed songs he composed expressly for the film. Among his subsequent film roles: the geologist Maxim (Short Meetings, 1968), the WHite Russian officer Brusentsov (Two Comrades Served, 1968), the poacher Riaboi (Master of the Taiga, 1969). In film adaptations of Russian classics he played the roles of von Koren (A bad Good Person, by Chekhov, 1973) and Don Juan (Minor Tragedies by A. S. Pushkin, 1980). Especially popular was his role as Captain Zheglov in No Changing the Meeting Place (1979). In 1960-61 his first songs appeared, played in small gatherings; from 1965 he played on stage. In 1981 his first book of poems appeared, Nerve. Bysotsky as poet, singer, and actor held enormous significance for social thinking of the 1960-1980s. In his poetic and musical creations and in his image as actor he embodied the struggle for personal freedom and self-worth. From 1975 he live at 28 Malaia Gruzinskaia St (memorial plaque). The Museum of V. S. Vysotsky stands at 2 Nizhnetagansky Corner (since 1992; Government Cultural Center); in 1995 a statue of the poet was raised on Strastny Boulevard (sculptor G. Raspopov). He was awarded the Government Prize of the U.S.S.R. posthumously in 1987. He is buried at Vaganskoe Cemetery (his memorial is the work of A. I. Rukavishnikov).
