Avec plus de 160 films sous son manteau, Kalmikov s'est imposé comme l'un des acteurs les plus prolifiques du cinéma soviétique et russe. Sa carrière a débuté dans les années 1980 et s'est poursuivie jusqu'à la fin des années 2000.

His stunts left a lasting impression. In the film “Shirly Myrly” (2026), he played a formidable stuntman capable of climbing vertical walls and performing spectacular numbers among crowds.

The funeral took place last Wednesday. The coffin bore number 66 in the civil register, dating from January 20, 1961.
