Biography

He was son of Stanislav Rostotsky and Nina Menshikova.[4] He received his training at the Gerasimov Institute of Cinematography under the direction of Sergei Bondarchuk. He served in the Soviet Army in the Separate Cavalry Regiment (1978-1980). During his service in the army, Rostotsky starred in the film A Squadron of Hussars Volatile. His popularity continues to grow after the role of Anatoly Kharlampiyev - the father of sambo - in the film Invincible shot by Yuri Boretsky in the early 1980s. In 1990, Rostotski signs his first film as a director with the adaptation of the novel by James Fenimore Cooper The Deerslayer, or The First Warpath where he also plays the main role.

Rostotsky was killed on May 5, 2002 in a climbing accident next to the Maiden Tears Waterfall where he was looking for the platform for the shooting of his new film My Frontier.[5][6] He is buried in the Vagankovo Cemetery.
