Who directed the Oscar-winning epic "War and Peace" for Best Foreign Language Film? Which director played the cameo role of a floor polisher in "Walking the Streets of Moscow"? Who composed the ditties and choreographed the dance for the role of the buffoon in Tarkovsky's "Andrei Rublev," refusing a choreographer?
Vladimir Sterzhakov, it turns out, dreamed of being a forester and a diver since childhood. It was his friends from his neighborhood who decided he should become an actor and brought him to drama school in Tallinn. After school, he enrolled at the Moscow Art Theatre School and hasn't regretted it for a second. In this edition of "World Mind Games," he competes against the erudite Yuri Khashimov in the "Soviet Cinema" section of his competition.
