Probably for anybody not a secret that Vladimir Vysotsky was indifferent to alcohol.

However, there were in the life of Vladimir Vysotsky periods when he did not take in his mouth intoxicating beverages.

“hussars cold”

Addicted to alcohol Vladimir Vysotsky was different long before it became famous throughout the Soviet Union. As you know, the School-Studio of MKHAT Vysotsky ended in the summer of 1960. One of the first films newly minted graduate was the film Grigory Nikulin “713-th requested landing”. The film was shot in Leningrad, so Wysocki, who was born and lived in Moscow and had to settle for a hotel comfort. Wife, Isolde Zhukova, was not there, therefore the atmosphere was favorable to a plentiful libations and other activities. But after a few days all of a sudden Vladimir Semenovich, who was then still young and healthy, became a teetotaler.

Alcohol during treatment is of the disease doctors use is not recommended. That is why Vysotsky and refused from alcohol. However, the adventure went very good. Before his theatrical triumph, he had starred in several films. Besides, it was during the filming of the Leningrad Vysotsky met his second wife, Lyudmila Abramova.

Despite the fact that an alcoholic bard himself did not recognize, he agreed to go to the hospital. Doctor is still young and not too well-known actor was the psychiatrist Mikhail Buyanov. To avoid breakdowns brawlers personally drove Vysotsky rehearsing.

One day, as he recalled the brawlers, whose words are quoted in the book of Fedor Razzakov “Vladimir Vysotsky: I will certainly be back…”, Vysotsky still managed to get drunk, so the doctor turned to a different method. A psychiatrist using hypnosis was developed from a patient reflex, thanks to which in the presence Buyanova Vysotsky is not pulled to the drink. Even after the patient’s discharge from the hospital, Michael Buyanova were invited to various events where Vysotsky needed sober.
