  Stirlitz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Born in Russian heartland (a town of Gorokhovets mistakenly placed "at the Volga river" in the feature), he was a renaissance man who knew how to complete missions but was also familiar with high culture.
The construction of the monument to Stirlitz, in the form of Tikhonov's look-alike, is currently under an active consideration in his "native town" of Gorokhovets, located at Klyazma river.
Before Tikhonov, the role was offered to Georgiy Zhzhonov, because (as the director put it) Stirlitz's face should have been handsome and repulsive at the same time.
