At the end of the 1950s, Schukschin gained fame as an author of Siberian short stories, in which he processed his experiences as a teacher on the kolkhoz farm and in the army. From 1954 to 1960 he studied directing with Michail Romm at the WGIK film school in Moscow . Towards the end of his studies he took on his first roles as a film actor. He made his debut as a director and screenwriter with the internationally award-winning film From One Who Set Out to Find Love (1964). In his film work, Schukschin depicts portraits of simple people in their everyday life. His roles as Chauffeur Stepan in Boris Barnet's Aljonka (1962), as Operations Director Tschenytsch in Sergei Gerasimows Am See (1970) and as Fedja in Gleb Panfilov's I ask for your word (1974) enlivened Russian cinema .

In 1974 the readers of the magazine “Sowetski ekran” voted him the best actor of the year for his role of the former prisoner Yegor Prokudin in the tragedy “ Kalina Krasnaya ”. The following year he received this award again posthumously for his portrayal of the soldier Petr Lopachin in Sergei Bondarchuk's Sholokhov film You Fought for the Homeland .

At the same time he was filming for Lenfilm , directed by Gleb Panfilows, in I ask for the word . Vasily Schukschin died of a heart attack while filming You Fought for the Homeland . Missing scenes from Lopachin were taken over by Yuri Solovyov . His voice was dubbed in the Russian original by Igor Jefimow .

Schukschin's work in film and literature gave the cinema and theater of the Soviet Union new impetus in the 1970s. He wrote the screenplay for Nikolai Gubenko's directorial debut A Soldier Returns from the Front (1972). His novel Lyubawiny was filmed in 1972 by Leonid Golovna under the title The End of the Lyubawins .
