Alexander Berezin describes the last conversation he had with his father, Arthur Berezin, a recognized actor and stuntman. The moment is recalled for a line his father reportedly spoke, Arguments and facts, a phrase that lingered in his memory after the exchange.
Friends reached Alexander on social media after the tragedy involving his father, a figure some in Russia have described as an extremist and who was banned in the country. The news circulated through networks and conversations among acquaintances who remembered the controversy surrounding the family name as well as the man’s career in the entertainment world.
The son and father were not close, and their final messages occurred through social networks in 2022. The distance between them was evident in the gaps that separate a long-vanished daily life from a living memory, yet the memory of the last contact remained vivid for Alexander.
He recalled that the father told him he had finally received his pension. They did not speak again after that. Some people tried to locate him, and Alexander provided a Moscow contact number, but those who tried to reach him later said he was unavailable, leaving unanswered inquiries about his whereabouts and wellbeing.
Alexander added that the 68-year-old never complained about his health and, as he stated, did not have any bad habits. The portrait of a man who faced the world with resilience and a steady routine emerges from those comments, even as the circumstances around him remained unclear to many who followed the stories closely.
Arthur Berezin died in a hospital in Cape Town on 29 October after a long illness. The news marked the end of a career that spanned decades in front of and behind the camera, leaving behind memories of his dedication and craft in a broad range of productions.
The artist and stuntman left a mark on the screen with appearances in films such as Do not be afraid, I am with you, Courier to the East, and other titles. He also contributed as a stuntman in the TV series Anna Karenina, a testament to his versatility and commitment to bringing action and realism to on-screen storytelling.
In related notes, singer Vladimir Levkin, who has previously battled cancer, spoke about undergoing an operation. The intertwining threads of art, health, and personal history continue to be written by those who knew him and by the audiences who remember his work for its energy and impact. The stories around his life reflect how the film and music communities carry forward the memories of performers who shaped moments on screen and in the lives of those who followed their careers.
