Mikhail Ivanovich Kononov (Russian: Михаи́л Ива́нович Ко́нонов) (25 April 1940, Moscow – 16 July 2007, Moscow) was a well-known Soviet actor.
The typical image of his hero, a simple-hearted, kind and unaffected fellow, started taking its shape in his debut film Nash obshii drug (Our Common Friend) (1961) and further on in the revolutionary tragic comedy Nachalnik Chukotki (Chief of Chukotka) (1966), the war drama V ogne broda net (No Crossing Under Fire) (1967), the heroic comedy Na voyne, kak na voyne (At War as at War) (1968), and others.
As the actor stated himself, his best role was that of Foma in Andrei Tarkovsky’s well-known historic drama Andrei Rublev. One of the most popular films starring Mikhail Kononov was the series Bolshaya Peremena (The Long Recess) (1972), where he played the young teacher Nestor Petrovich. He was also popular for his roles in children’s films. Lots of Russian viewers remember Kononov as the sly and crafty space pirate Krys in the legendary children’s sci-fi movie Gostya iz budushchego (Guest from the Future) (1985).
In the last years of his life Mikhail Kononov rarely appeared in films and on public: he had to reject the roles he was offered as being off-grade.
Mikhail Kononov died after a painful and long illness on 16 July 2007 in Moscow.

The differences in the heroes’ characters and professions, the plight that Platon found himself in (he is to be arrested and undergo trial) trigger a host of both amusing and sad situations which serve as a backdrop for their unfolding love. Platon is innocent of the crime he is accused of. He simply took the blame for his wife’s driving over a pedestrian. But this is known only to Platon’s wife and Vera in whom he confided. However, after the verdict has been passed, Platon’s life is of no interest to his wife, although Vera is ready to wait for his release.
