Vladimir Zuev, teacher of actor Nikita Kologrivoy, a teacher at the Novosibirsk Theater Institute, in a conversation with socialbites.ca, described the star of the series “The Boy’s Promise” as a big boy who once did what he was forbidden to do. This is how he interpreted the news about the arrest of Kologrivy after a drunken brawl in Novosibirsk – he offended a waiter and started a fight.
“We haven’t seen Nikita for several years. So somehow I can’t answer for him and tell him how he’s doing right now. I can only say about Nikita, whom I knew as my student. If he did something, someone probably provoked him to do it. I love and respect him very much. I was the only teacher at the Novosibirsk Theater Institute who brought him to GITIS, after which he started acting in TV series. Because all of his educational demonstrations were rejected by the teachers of his course. He was forced out and came to me. At that moment I was like a father to him, but that didn’t last long. If he really hurt someone, anything can happen. If being taken to the police is a fair punishment, I agree. But in principle, Nikita is a big boy. He does what he wants. “He has reached the point where he can do what he was once forbidden to do,” Zuev said.
On March 20, it became known that actor Nikita Kologrivy arrived at the police department in Novosibirsk for questioning. According to the publication “Paragraph”, employees of a local establishment filed a complaint against the star of the TV series “The Boy’s Word” that the artist “became very hooligan” on the night of March 19, got drunk, attacked restaurant employees. He disturbed the female employees.
“Kologrivy approached the stewardess and lay on her lap. When asked why he did this, Kologrivy grabbed her by the neck and began to forcefully persuade her to kiss him, after which she was rejected and met with resistance. In response, Kologrivy bit the stewardess’s leg (the bite left a large hematoma),” the statement said.
It is also clear from the document that the actor approached the manager of the business and began threatening to “take care” of the entire staff. The statement is within the scope of the hooliganism article.
Before that, Paragraph published a video in which Kologrivy tried to fight with restaurant employees in Novosibirsk.
Formerly a member of parliament from Novosibirsk offered Kologrivoy “shares the fate of the soldiers.”
