Name: Mikhailov Alexander

Age: 75 years old

Place of Birth: Olovyanninsky district, Trans-Baikal Territory, RSFSR, USSR

Growth: 191 cm

Activity: Soviet and Russian theater and film actor, film director and teacher. People's Artist of the RSFSR, People's Artist of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic

In the biography and personal life of the actor Alexander Mikhailov (see photo below), there was everything - popularity, two families, children from different marriages and an illegitimate child. Several generations of Russian TV viewers and older people who were born in the USSR know this outstanding artist from films:

• "Love and pigeons";
• "Zmeelov";
• "Guys" and many other works.

Stunning external data, an innate sense of tact and a grandiose acting talent made this handsome man a favorite of a female audience of all age categories. And it all started far from being so romantic ...

Childhood

The future performer of the role of a clumsy and ingenuous lover of pigeons was born in 1944, in the Trans-Baikal District. The lack of livelihood made life difficult for the family - the difficult post-war years made themselves felt. The father and mother divorced after numerous quarrels on domestic grounds, so all the worries about the boy fell on the shoulders of the woman. Wanting to feed the growing child, the mother of the future celebrity was forced to change her place of residence several times, and finally, the miniature family settled in Vladivostok.

This explains Alexander Yakovlevich's love for the sea - from the seventh grade, the guy dreamed of working on ships plowing the endless expanses of the oceans. However, the young man growing up without a father could not go to the naval school. Therefore, he entered the craft, the course of a ship repairman.

This gave the boy the opportunity, after graduation, to get a job on a fishing boat and challenge the northern waters - for two years of service, his ship visited the Japanese, Bering, and Okhotsk seas. The actor also recalls his impressions of visiting Alaska and Bristol Bay.

Love for the theater and first family

By chance, a young worker of the fishing flotilla of Vladivostok got to the showing of the graduation performance of the students of the local theater university. And he decided, by all means, to enter the Far Eastern Pedagogical Institute of Arts. This decision not only changed the personal life and biography of the actor Alexander Mikhailov (see photo below), but also gave him a family - a wife and a son.

Vera Musatova

For more than 10 years, a graduate of the theater course worked in provincial theaters. The texture of a tall, stately man turned out to be in demand in classical dramas - the first success came to Mikhailov after the hero of Dostoevsky, brilliantly played by him.

success and divorce

The talented actor quickly gained popularity and soon moved to the capital at the invitation of the Yermolova Theater. The family did not live well, but was famous in the acting environment for its hospitality. Mikhailov's theater colleague Vladimir Vasilyev often came here with his beautiful wife. Therefore, when a family friend died of a stroke, Oksana's frequent visits to Mikhailov's mother did not surprise anyone.

With wife Oksana

It is worth noting that the parent for an adult Alexander Mikhailov has always been an authority - he did not forget how much effort it took for a single mother to put her son on his feet in the cold northern region. Therefore, the actor first confessed to her about his feelings for the young widow - as you know, the woman frankly disliked the wife of her beloved and only son.

The daughter-in-law was very popular in the cinema, she worked a lot, so her mother-in-law considered her an unsuitable match for the actor Alexander Mikhailov. This opinion subsequently played an important role in the personal life and biography of a man who decided overnight to cross out 30 years of marriage and wanted to start a family and children with a new chosen one (see photo below).

The son of the artist from his first marriage could not forgive him for such a betrayal - he still does not communicate with his father and does not want to know anything about his life. The ex-wife, recovering from the shock, plunged headlong into work.

New family

The couple registered their relationship in 2001, while Mikhailov adopted the child of his chosen one from his first marriage - the son of Vlad. And in 2002, the new wife gave the actor a joint child - daughter Akilina. The wife works as a doctor, maybe that's why the family has finally come to the prosperity that the artist's mother dreamed of for so long.

In recent years, the illegitimate daughter of Mikhailov, Anastasia, has also reminded of herself. It turns out that the artist for a long time did not even suspect about its existence. And the girl’s mother did not want to impose herself on her unfaithful lover and spoke about Anastasia’s biological parent, having learned that her daughter was going to study at a theater university. The artist himself did not refuse paternity and even officially gave her his last name.

What is the artist doing now?

Currently, the actor Alexander Mikhailov, whose personal life and biography is full of passions and popularity, continues to be a sought-after performer in theater and cinema. He works hard, is actively involved in social activities, but does not forget about his family and children (photos of the artist’s relatives can be seen below).

The artist is filming social activities

A special place in the work of the famous artist is occupied by Russian folk songs and romances - their mother sang code to their beloved son. The artist did a great job collecting material from his native places, and in 1997 he presented his first solo program. Composer Yevgeny Bednenko helped him prepare the performance.

Since that distant time, Mikhailov has not parted with the guitar, trying to participate not only in private musical performances, but also in numerous television shows.

The active public position of Alexander Mikhailov deserves special attention. He is an ardent supporter of Russian nationalism and actively supports the policies of V.V. Putin. For this reason, the artist performed a lot in the Crimea after the reunification of the peninsula with mainland Russia. The actor is a frequent guest in the self-proclaimed Ukrainian republics of the LPR and DPR, supporting the desire of the inhabitants of Donbass for independence.

Exactly 30 years ago, the film "Men! .." was released, which became the hallmark of the popular actor

Handsome and stately Alexander Mikhailov is a hero for all time. He created images of real men on the screen - charming, strong and reliable, always finding the right way out of any delicate situation, causing awe and admiration among the fair sex. Remember his roles in the films "Men! ..", "Love and Pigeons", "Snakes", "Lonely are provided with a hostel." But in life, as it turned out, coping with problems is much more difficult than in the movies. The actor was convinced of this when, after 30 years of family life with the daughter of Admiral of the Fleet Vera Musatova, whom he met at the institute, fell in love with another. Mikhailov's chosen one was the economist Oksana, 23 years younger than him. They met in a common company of actors of the Yermolova Theater. When a young woman was widowed, Mikhailov was one of the first to call and support her. Then Alexander needed Oksana's help. Mikhailov was leaving on tour, and at that time it was necessary to take care of his mother, since the parent did not communicate with her daughter-in-law. Their relationship lasted six years, until Mikhailov decided to leave the family. Most of all, he was worried about how the son from his first marriage would perceive the divorce, so Alexander and Oksana officially registered the relationship only before the birth of a common child, the daughter of Akulina. The last time Alexander Yakovlevich became a father was at the age of 58, and at his current 66 he is still full of strength and energy.

“I SET A GOAL TO LIVE TO 85 WITHOUT MASSMA”

- Alexander Yakovlevich, you look good for your age ...

The strong genes of my ancestors, the Old Believers, are showing. I am not particularly involved in health, and I had serious problems. I was dying, lying in a coma, but the Lord brought me back from there. I will not go into details - I promised not to talk about it. He returned and said to himself: I set a goal to live up to 85 years without insanity, and then as God wills. Recruited students. Now I have 30 children and a grandson. 26 students and four of their children. I am a rich man!

Tell me about yours...

There is an eldest son Kostya from his first marriage, an illegitimate daughter Nastya. She is a second-year student at VGIK, she is 18 years old, a tall beauty. Dries on the stage, wants to be an artist. The youngest Akulina is nine years old. Plus, the stepson Vladislav is the child of Oksana's second wife from her first marriage. He calls me dad, I call him son. Vlad lost his own father at the age of three.

- His father is your friend actor Vladimir Vasiliev?

We worked in the same theater. And then, when he died after a stroke, Oksana became my second wife.

- I read that the first wife cannot forgive you for leaving the family after 30 years of marriage ...

Nonsense, nonsense! This is not true. We're fine. Yesterday we called her. I don't lose touch with my first wife. And I support her financially, and communicate with her and with her son Kostya. They did not part as enemies. Of course, she cannot forgive me for some things, but everything is fine.

Your eldest son Konstantin, now a well-known radio host, once studied at the acting department, daughter Nastya is studying to be an actress. Did you support the children in their desire to continue the acting dynasty?

Tried to dissuade. I do not wish them such a fate, but they did not listen.

Here is the youngest - ready artist. Plastic, but how she sings! Declares: "I will be an actress and a singer!". To which I told her: “I will flog!”. If her desire passes - well, if it doesn’t pass - well, what can you do ...

I dissuade everyone from the acting profession. It doesn't come down to applause, flowers and walking down the red carpet at festivals. This is a huge, monstrous work! And a lot of stress. Out of thousands, dozens, maybe hundreds, become famous through films and successful theatrical works.

About 200 people graduate from acting universities every year. God forbid, 15-25 people are arranged according to their specialty. The rest remain unemployed. A huge role is played by His Majesty the case - a meeting with the director, with a venerable actor who will help. If there is God's gift, fire, self-giving, well, the actor should not be with a "cold nose". This is a person who forgets about many things and devotes himself to work with all his heart. But there are not many people like, for example, Vasily Shukshin or your Ivan Gavrilyuk.

“AFTER THE FILM “GUYS!..” WAS POSSIBLE TO SLEEP”

Alexander Yakovlevich, you are one of the most filmed artists of Soviet cinema, you rarely appear on screens lately ...

Yes, for many years I generally refused roles, because they offered scenarios where this one had to be killed, that one should be shot. Shoot for what? If I see that according to the scenario there is a conflict between cops and bandits, mountains of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, I am not interested. When killing a person is like blowing your nose, how can I agree to this?

To date, I have 70 films and 61 works in the theater behind me - they give me the right to defend my position.

But you have to live on something...

Yes, I'm not rich. I have no savings, no dacha. 12 acres of land, a garage and a bathhouse built - that's all. But I do not complex because of this. The Lord did not give the devil two things: a sense of proportion and a sense of shame. It is on shamelessness and immensity that we all burn. The more you have, the more you want. Quickly “hap-hap!”, and he is already walking over corpses, ready to swallow alive, drink blood. This is where it all ends. After all, a person is born once. In terms of galactic time, we live only two and a half minutes. During these two and a half minutes, you need to try not to humiliate anyone, not offend anyone, to do something warm and good - this is my life principle.

I refuse, although the last time they gave 50 thousand dollars for 15 minutes of work. 15 minutes!!!

- What a tempting offer!

Well, yes! With that kind of money, you can live in perfect order for two years. Buy a car right now. But I know what advertising is. My friend agreed - I won't give his last name - to star in the video. I feel bad for him. Maybe I'm an idiot, the last of the Mohicans, but I absolutely do not understand why washing powder should be advertised to a great actress!

I know that I will appear in a commercial, and some aunt Nyura in my village will say: “But I believe Alexander Yakovlevich, he starred in moral films.” By this I will betray myself, and then her. It's easier for me to take my seven-string guitar, stand in the passage and earn a living in such an honest way.

- Who discovered you as a film actor?

There were no openings. There was the first film, the second, the third - boring work. Then the director Valera Lonskoy invited me to the film “Arriving”, and from that moment a new stage in my film career began, they began to offer me more serious roles, and not young, naive and sugary ones ... And it started to spin. I don’t want to cry into my vest: they say, I didn’t reach the heights, something really passed by - I didn’t star in Andrei Tarkovsky, Sergei Bondarchuk, or Vasily Shukshin. There were meetings with these truly unique directors, but somehow they didn’t get in.

Shukshin even wanted to shoot me in Stenka Razin, but he didn’t have time, he left for another world.

It seems to me that it’s a sin for you to complain about acting fate, you are very popular. By the way, hasn't popularity gone to your head?

I remember very well the phrase of Edita Piekha: "Throw off the crown more often." I didn’t have such a feeling: I woke up famous, I felt like a star, I walk like a king. No, I didn't grow wings.

At first it was pleasant: “Oh, they will recognize you!”. Then it turns into a disaster. Let's say, after the film "Men! .." in any public catering, a battery of bottles of champagne and vodka was put in front of me. If he refused to drink, it came to a fight: “You don’t respect us, you’re not a man.” Wherever you go, immediately: "Let's drink!". It was possible to simply sleep, which happened to many of my friends.

“I HIT ONE DIVER ON THE SUIT, THE OTHER KICKS IN THE GENERAL organ AND UNDERSTAND THAT I WON’T SWIMMING OUT”

- What helped to resist the temptations of life, to throw off the crown from your head in time?

Upbringing. My grandfather was from the White Guard. When he was dying, I was six years old, he said: “Shurka, remember. Love the Motherland Russia more than anything in your life. If necessary, give your life for her. Give your heart to people, give your soul to the Lord God, save honor for yourself. Repeat". I repeated. I will not give honor to anyone, not for any pennies. It's the most expensive thing. I'm not ashamed to look people in the eye. Life is given to a person once, and it must be lived with dignity.

I also have a good maritime school. I was 17 and a half years old when after the flight we returned to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. I was the youngest of the team and my friend had a birthday. Everyone was invited to a restaurant. I drank very well. Two sailor friends dragged me by the arms into the cabin. Soon the boatswain entered. I remember it vaguely. He lifted me by the scruff of the neck and kissed me well with his fist.

Two days later he comes to me again: “Well, have you recovered?”. And I’m so offended: “Why are you me? Well, I drank... Everyone goes through it.” - “Sanya, you are the youngest on the ship. A lot of these guys have passed through my hands. Remember three things: know with whom to drink, when and how much. If you don't remember, you'll get drunk and die." Years have passed, but I still remember.

- Alexander Yakovlevich, for a long time you refused to act in the film "Men! ..". Why?

Yes, they offered three times, and I refused three times. Then I met the hero from whom the script was written, and I realized: I need to play. He is a good man, clean, decent, bright, real. The movie turned out, although no one expected such a success. Because there is a story about the beauty of the human soul. A friend asks my hero: “Why do you need this? He took care of three children. Two strangers." And he answered: “You think small. I need it more than they do. I need to give my warmth. They will grow up as normal decent people.”

After the release of "Men! .." I received a huge number of letters from children. I remember the scribbles of one girl: “Uncle Pasha (after the name of the hero), thank you for the film“ Men! .. ”. My dad saw the picture yesterday and bought me a chocolate bar. Hooray!". I mentally imagined this dad, sometimes drinking ...

The second landmark film in your acting biography is Love and Doves. When you hear the name of this picture, what are the most vivid associations?

The atmosphere was very good on set, a bit hooligan. All this was done with love, easy, fun. There was no such thing as: “Play only this way, and not otherwise!”. In this sense, Volodya Menshov is a great artist. He could say: "Let's do things differently, on the contrary." And he started filming.

There are a lot of oddities in the picture, which at first surprise, and then you treat it normally. For example, why do flowers suddenly bloom on trees? Or does the artist enter the house with a whole orchestra? These are the images that carry meaning.

- Is it true that shooting in this picture almost cost you your life?

Yes, it was in Batumi. We were filming a scene when my hero after the words: “Well, happily stay” falls with a suitcase in his hands into the open sea. We did six or seven takes. I had six spare dry sets of shirts and suits. But the tie - only one! Under water, two divers helped me undress, they literally tore off my clothes - there was not enough time! - and I surfaced already in family shorts.

We filmed in November - the temperature is +14, but the wind, dankness. Lyusya Gurchenko kept shouting: “Let this long Mikhailov jump faster, otherwise I’m already numb!” I jump, and Menchov gave the task to the divers: they say, fumble for a long time, you need to be five times faster! The guys, of course, had no experience of undressing under water.

After the first take, the tie was damp, it was not dried enough, and the costume designer also tightened it well for me. I again fall into the water, the divers took everything off me, grabbed my tie, and it was overwhelmed by a sea knot and did not go further than my chin. I saw the fear in the eyes of these men and I got scared myself. I try to help them but nothing works. He was already in shorts and a tie. They pull, and the knot only tightens tighter!

And I already began to choke, kicking - I hit one on the spacesuit, the other kicked with all my might in the reproductive organ. I tried to rise to the surface to breathe air, but one of the divers pulled me back by the legs and grabbed my tie again. They seemed to be mad and wanted to complete the task - to strip the actor to his underpants - at any cost. I realized that I would not swim again: a comedy could turn into a tragedy. And then he accidentally saw a knife on his side - he began to clap on it. Not immediately, but the diver still understood - he cut off the tie with a knife. This is what saved me. Then there was an ambulance, pumping out ... Long story.

With his second wife Oksana

And the third take was included in the film. The dresser has already just put on the cut tie, and the first thing the divers plucked underwater was the tie. And in one move.

What role was the hardest for you?

I was completely squeezed out by The Enchanted Wanderer based on the novel by Nikolai Leskov. Very heavy material. Heavy in every sense: emotionally, physically. But this is my favorite movie ever.

There was also the painting “Survive Until Dawn” by Vasily Bykov, after which I fell into the hospital for a year and a half. There was a difficult story. All winter filmed naked, wet, with a bloody chest. The result was bilateral pneumonia.

When was the last time you were on set?

About two years ago, in the film "Degraded" played a major role. See if there is such an opportunity. I'm not ashamed of this movie. Very interesting story.

Of the latter, there is also “Chinese Grandmother”, where I starred with Ira Muravyova and Nina Ruslanova. True, I have not yet seen the full picture, so I can not give an assessment. But for the "degraded" calm. True, it is not known whether it will hit the rental or not. Alas, today everything depends on finances, on those idiots who decide on an incomprehensible principle: good cinema is spread rot, and mediocre, which is now very much, is raised.

“MOM SAID: “OR THE SEA, OR ME!”

- Alexander Yakovlevich, you did not immediately come into acting?

I was born in the Zabaikalsky village of the Chita region. This is Eastern Siberia. Snow, cold, three-meter snowdrifts, a blizzard. I was 11 years old when I saw Aivazovsky's painting "The Ninth Wave" and was dumbfounded by this power and beauty. Since then I have been sick with the sea. I signed up with the Nakhimov School in Leningrad, ran away from home twice, and both times my mother caught me, put me in a corner on peas, and I got wet with a towel.

After graduating from seven classes, I nevertheless persuaded my mother, and we moved to Vladivostok. But a year was not enough for me to enter a sailor, so I had to go to a vocational school to study as a locksmith. Why did I choose this particular school? There, instead of a T-shirt and simple underwear, they gave a vest.

After a year of training, I ran away to the fishermen. I came on a huge ship, where there were 70 crew members, and said to the captain: "I want to be a sailor." He, already a gray-haired man, a real sea wolf, looked at me carefully: “If you want, come on. Let's go to the sea!" I was taken as an apprentice mechanic. For two years he plied the Sea of ​​Japan, the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, the Bering Sea, the Pacific Ocean, and the Bay of Bristol. Changed two ships. And then he was forced to write off ashore because of the tragedy that broke out in the Sea of ​​​​Japan.

Our four medium-sized fishing seiners got into icing - this is when one wave covers another and the deck is instantly covered with a crust of ice. Then again a wave - and the ice crust becomes thicker. Then again and again... The ropes are also covered with ice. The whole team with axes and crowbars goes to the skolka, only the captain gets to the helm and one minder works in the engine room. But human strength is not unlimited, the weight of ice is constantly increasing and, in the end, the vessel turns upside down with a keel.

Our ship was large in size, had a solid crew, we somehow got out of this storm, but then a lot of people died. When we arrived at the port, my mother met me at the pier and said: “Either the sea, or me!”. If it wasn't for that, I might have been promoted to captain. At sea, my soul sings.

What attracted you to acting?

Once I accidentally got to the graduation performance of graduates of the Far Eastern Institute of Arts, staged "Ivanov" by Chekhov. There I saw a talented artist Valera Priemykhov (he is known to the audience from the film "The Boys", "The Cold Summer of 1953"), and this decided my fate. I was so shocked by the performance that after it I came to say goodbye to the Pacific Ocean. I said to myself: “I will be an artist, I will do everything possible and impossible for this.”

I really stepped over many difficulties, because I was already a strong sea dog and the first two years of training did not understand much about acting. In my second year at the institute, I was almost kicked out for incompetence, but I survived everything.

- How did your mother take your decision to become an artist?

Not very good. She is a simple woman, from the Old Believers. Although talented, artistic - she sings, plays the balalaika - but she has only two classes of the parochial school. Therefore, she did not go into explanations. Just on an intuitive level, I thought that it was none of my business: they say, you have to be a man, and acting is a female profession.

What do you dislike the most about your profession?

I am burdened by the dependence on these bastard directors, of whom there are a lot of divorced nowadays. It doesn’t give me pleasure to work now, to act in film - well, it doesn’t pull! Whether I'm tired - I don't know why. There is no interesting material, so it's boring. Today I am more interested in the North Pole, where I have visited twice. When I see bearded polar explorers running across the ice floe towards me, this is an incomparable feeling. This is my element. And all sorts of "underwater" theatrical intrigues, gossip, who is with whom, who is who - not for me, I'm leaving this ...

“I HAVE BEEN SO SATATED WITH THE MITTLE DIRECTING IN THE THEATER THAT I DO NOT WANT TO GO TO THIS cesspool again”

- Was it hard to leave the repertory theater, where you worked for many years?

No. I swear! I'm so fed up with dwarf directing...

- What do you have in mind?

The current directors, figuratively speaking, are all of short stature, and the lower such a man is, the more strongly he has developed jumping ability. These dwarfs are jumping up and down, trying to flick you on the nose all the time. Because the more mediocre a person is, the more he asserts himself.

Now I play in two entreprises. With Inna Churikova and Zinaida Sharko in the play "Old Maidens" and with Nina Usatova in "Love is not a potato, you won't throw it out the window." We travel all over Russia...

- Artists admit that you get used to the stage, you can’t live without the smell of backstage ...

Someone like. At first, yes, you can’t, and then troubles and gossip begin. I left painlessly. I was called to four theaters, but I don’t want to go back to this sewer again. I do not want!

I am such a lone wolf in fact: I like to communicate with nature, the sea one on one. I can sit for hours on the shore or walk in the taiga. I feel good and interesting on the ice. There is a limited number of quiet men. I like to sit and listen when they sing beautifully or speak well, think deeply. You sit and think: “Oh, Lord, what a beauty! This is how she saves the world. Beauty and shame.

You appear to be a believer...

I am an Orthodox person. But in what way was Russia dubbed? What was before Baptism? There was a Vedic, unique Russia, with a rich history. Our ancestors, six thousand years before the birth of Christ, already smelted iron and steel, owned iron.

And then Russia was baptized, and the anointed of God Ivan the Terrible for 39 years of his reign destroyed three and a half thousand people. Another - Peter I put 250 thousand souls only on the construction of one St. Petersburg. He bled the whole North! He cut off his beards and put lousy wigs on them. When he died, all of Russia rejoiced. And now everything has turned upside down: Peter is called a reformer who opened a window to Europe. Thieves climb through the window, but it was necessary to cut through the door!

Recently, more and more often famous husbands, having achieved high statuses and big money, leave their wives, with whom they went through all the hardships of their ascent to the star Olympus. Actors Sergei Selin, Alexander Mikhailov, Nikolai Fomenko and the late politician Anatoly Sobchak could not resist the temptation to marry younger ones and left the former keepers of the hearth ...

Mikhailov could not cope with passion

The daughter of Admiral of the Fleet Konstantin Musatov, Vera, was shocked to learn that her husband, with whom she had lived for 30 years, was leaving her. Vera Musatova and Alexander Mikhailov met at the institute. He saw Vera and fell in love at first sight. In 1969, the couple had their first child, who was named Konstantin in honor of his grandfather. The family did not live well, but very happily. For more than ten years, the actor served in provincial theaters. The actor was glad to be invited to serve at the Yermolova Theater. The family moved to Moscow. The Mikhailovs' house was very hospitable, but most often a theater colleague Vladimir Vasiliev and his wife Oksana visited it. It turned out that Oksana and Mikhailov have birthdays on the same day, but with a difference of 23 years. They usually celebrated either at the Vasilyevs' or at the Mikhailovs'. In 1993, Vasiliev had a stroke, which he could not survive. The young widow quickly found something to do: she began to go to the mother of Alexander Mikhailov. Say, Mikhailov is constantly on tour, and his wife and mother-in-law did not have a relationship. Soon, Mikhailov's mother asked her son when he would marry Oksana. The son took it and got married. True, no one cared about the feelings of Vera Musatova.

“I'm sorry, dear,” Mikhailov said in parting to her, “I can't stop my passion.

The new darling of Mikhailov gave birth to his daughter Akilina, and the eldest son of the actor did not talk to his father for more than ten years. The boy felt sorry for his mother. She went to work. At the Kinoshock festival, where Vera Konstantinovna heads the press service, she is an indispensable person.

Narusov's friend-razluchnitsa

The first marriage of the first mayor of St. Petersburg was also destroyed by a friend. Anatoly Sobchak got married while still in his fourth year at the university. His chosen one was a smart and intelligent girl, a graduate of the Herzen Institute Nonna Gandzyuk. First, the family settled in the Krasnodar Territory, where Anatoly was sent to work, and then moved to Leningrad. Here I had to live in a communal apartment, sharing an already tiny living space with rats. Only a year after the birth of their daughter Masha, the couple managed to purchase a cooperative apartment. This was in 1966. Eleven years in the family was a complete calm. In the late seventies, Nonna had a girlfriend, Lyuda Narusova. She worked in the university library where Sobchak taught. Nonna's husband drew attention to her divorced girlfriend, who was twenty years younger than his wife. Soon Nonna realized that she was losing her husband, but she was unable to resist his departure. At that moment, Nonna Stepanovna could not even speak loudly, let alone sort things out. The woman was diagnosed with oncology, which she nevertheless overcame. In the meantime, she was struggling with a serious illness, Lyudmila did not waste time in vain. According to Alexander Sobchak, the brother of the late politician, Anatoly very often remembered Nonna, especially in recent years, he was tempted to go to her and ask for forgiveness. But the status did not allow to change anything in life. Nonna Sobchak never got married again. Now she lives a quiet, modest life in one of the sleeping areas of St. Petersburg. The ex-wife of the politician spends the summer at the dacha in Vaskelovo in her small house. But most importantly, she has a daughter, Maria, and a grandson, Gleb. Maria Anatolyevna followed in her father's footsteps. She is a well-known lawyer in the Northern capital.

Fomenko started an affair in the army

Nikolai Fomenko first married a boy. He was only 18 years old. The future showman will start running after classmate Lena Lebedeva. Kolya liked to come to Lena's hospitable house, where an au pair bustled around the guests. But rumors spread at the theater institute that Kolya married Rem, and not Removna. Elena's father Rem Lebedev was popular in Leningrad. He was appreciated by venerable directors and city authorities. Lebedev tried to have his son-in-law and daughter serve in the same theater as he did - in Alexandrinsky. Kolya from his youth adored cars. Father-in-law bought him a car. It was the first car of the future racer. Soon Nikolai had a new hobby - music.

- Foma tortured everyone around him with his guitar playing, strummed at each of our parties. At Lebedeva's house, except for the guitar and Kolya, no one else was heard, - shared a former institute friend of the musician Oleg. - That's when Lyudmila Ivanovna, Lena's mother, who at that time taught at the Rimsky-Korsakov School, asked her student, who had the ability of a producer, to help her beloved son-in-law. This is how the beat quartet "Secret" appeared, and with it the legend of how Fomenko and Leonidov met at the institute and how poor students went out of their way to make their musical group become famous. Unfortunately, by the time Kolya became famous, he and his wife broke up ...

Colin's parting was preceded by a campaign in the army. The son-in-law of the eminent artist was “accidentally” lucky to serve in the Leningrad Military District. In the ensemble where the artist served, there were not only boys, but also girls, and Fomenko spent his army time very well. Here he met the dancer Lyudmila Goncharuk ... She will become his second wife, but not the last.

The father-in-law was furious when he learned about the betrayal of his son-in-law. Being an intelligent person, he did not shout at Fomenko, but he suffered to the point of pain in his heart.

“Ram could not even imagine that his beloved Nikolasha would turn away from Lena in the most difficult times for her,” says Elena's friend. The old man died and, fortunately, did not see how his daughter in the early 90s was forced to sell vegetables in a stall in order to feed her daughter, and Kolya, popular at that time, bypassed her tenth road. We must pay tribute to the playboy mom, who helped her daughter-in-law raise a child. Galina Nikolaevna devoted a lot of time to her granddaughter Katerina, who would later graduate from MGIMO and become a journalist. Her son will please her with her grandchildren more than once, and there will be more than enough daughters-in-law.

Celine kicked his wife out of the apartment

The first wife of actor Sergei Selin, Larisa Saltykova, won her husband over with her culinary skills. Once, while walking around St. Petersburg, the lovers came to visit Larisa. The girl's parents were on vacation. There was nothing in the house except for a few potatoes, a bunch of parsley, half a loaf of bread and a piece of cheese. But the young mistress managed to cook

gourmet sandwiches. After eating, Celine decided not to part with her. By that time, he was graduating from the Leningrad Theater Institute, and Larisa was studying to be a dentist. After the wedding, the girl registered her beloved in her apartment. Sergei's career was not set for a long time. It was difficult to live on the salary that was paid in the 90s at the St. Petersburg Youth Theater, where Sergei served. He was working. Larisa was engaged in the house and education of the baby Prokhor. Suddenly, fortune smiled at Sergei. He was invited to play in the series "Streets of Broken Lights". Soon the whole country recognized Selin as Dukalis' cop. To celebrate, "Dukalis" began drinking and drinking. The wife and then became a support for him: she denied all his adultery in the press, covering her husband, and called binges a cold. Once Larisa could not stand it and forced her husband to be treated for alcoholism. She also took up herself: she started dancing, lost weight, had plastic surgery and got pretty younger. Once Sergey brought 25 luxurious red roses to the house. The wife was delighted. The explosive Sergey could not resist and blurted out that the flowers were intended for his 23-year-old mistress Anna.

- Anechka didn’t receive me today, - Sergey threw in Larisa’s face, - so I brought this broom to you. And you, the fool, are glad.” Selin slammed the door and said that he had gone to file for divorce.

A few days later, Sergei insisted that Larisa get out of the two-level apartment. It's good that she had a small kopeck piece. She prudently managed to transfer part of the family real estate business to her name. Selina was engaged in this business while her husband was drunk or disappeared on the set. This discord was given to Larisa not without worries. But relatives of the former star wife noticed that she had freshened up and prettier. Need to think! She no longer has to run from the first to the second floor with steam cutlets, to take out basins with the results of yesterday's drinking bouts of her husband. About seven years ago, in an interview, Sergei said that he would never leave his family.

“Some easily break up with their ex-wives,” Selin reasoned. - Such men, in order to justify themselves, say that they are romantics. The new is easy to build, but it is much more difficult to maintain and not destroy the old.

Now Celine is absorbed in raising his daughter Masha, whom his young wife gave birth to.

Marina FROLOV

Alexander Mikhailov, whose biography is filled with career successes, life difficulties and personal ups and downs, is known to viewers from the legendary film Love and Doves. Undoubtedly, there were other bright roles in the actor's filmography, but the charming Vasily Kuzyakin is the most recognizable character. How old was Alexander Mikhailov in 2014? And what achievements in his life can he be proud of?

Childhood and youth

Mikhailov Alexander Yakovlevich is far from a minion of fate. He was born in the Trans-Baikal Territory during the war years (1944) - during the period of famine and devastation. The actor's parents divorced, and all the worries about the boy fell on the shoulders of his mother. They moved several times: first to the village of Tsugolsky Datsan in the Buryat Autonomous Okrug, then to the Steppe station, and a little later they left for Vladivostok.

Mother instilled in little Sasha a love for groovy Russian ditties and folk songs. But the future actor, like a real romantic, dreamed of sea voyages and was preparing to enter the sailor. He was not accepted into the school and had to get the specialty of a locksmith.

But Alexander was not going to give up his dream, so after the craft, he nevertheless got a job on a fishing boat. For two years of naval service, Mikhailov plied the Bering, the Sea of ​​Japan, and the Sea of ​​Okhotsk. And even visited the coast of Alaska, as well as in the Bristol Bay.

But one day the guy watched one of the productions of Chekhov's play in the theater, and he had a new dream - to perform on stage.

Theatrical career

1969 is the year when Alexander Mikhailov graduated from the theater department of the Far Eastern Pedagogical Institute of Arts. The biography of the young man began to develop in a completely different direction - he found his calling.

The first place of service of the actor was the Primorsky Regional Drama Theatre. By the way, he immediately began to play the main roles there - Raskolnikov in Crime and Punishment, Prince Myshkin in The Idiot. Then Alexander went to serve in the Saratov Drama Theater, where he worked for 10 years. In 1980, he finally decides to leave for Moscow. Mikhailov at that time was already 36 years old.

But the risk was justified, and the actor was admitted to the Moscow Drama Theater. M. N. Ermolova. And in 1985 he moved to the Maly Theater, where he worked until 2004.

Filming in cinema

It so happened that in the cinema, Alexander Mikhailov, whose biography is filled with interesting events, played more roles than on the theater stage. He began filming back in 1973: his first role was Alexey Uglov, the foreman of the welding team, who turned out to be a member of the classic love triangle (the social drama “It's stronger than me”).

In 1974, the film “You Can Still Have Time” was released, in which Mikhailov again plays one of the main roles - the builder Vlasov. Then Alexander Yakovlevich embodied on the screen the image of Igor Ivanovsky in the film "To Live Until Dawn", and in 1975 he received the role of engineer Boris Rudaev in the production drama "You will find in battle."

The main roles fell on Mikhailov - one after another. He was equally good in melodramas, and in dramas, and in comedy films. The reason for this is a diverse life experience that helped in working on diverse projects.

The film "Men"

The film "Men", released in 1982, directed by Iskra Babich. This touching picture tells how the miner Pavel Zubov decides to adopt not only his own daughter, about whom he did not know anything for a long time, but also her two brothers, who were born absolutely from an outsider. Alexander Mikhailov, or rather his game - became the decoration of the film. It is still unknown whether the picture would have received such recognition in the 80s, if not for the participation of Mikhailov in it.

Meanwhile, Alexander did not immediately agree to shoot. After reading the script written by Valentin Dyachenko, the actor thought that the story looked implausible. But Dyachenko personally met with Mikhailov and told him that the plot is based on a situation that he had to go through personally.

In 1982, the picture took second place among the leaders of the Soviet box office. Leonid Brezhnev himself got acquainted with the film and personally gave the order to pay the award to Alexander Mikhailov in the amount of 5,000 rubles.

The legendary painting "Love and doves"

“Love and Doves” is the twenty-sixth picture in which Alexander Mikhailov starred. Again, the plot is based on a real story that happened in the city of Cheremkhovo, Irkutsk region.

The role of Vasya Kuzyakin in the film could be played by Yuri Kuznetsov (TV series "Streets of Broken Lights"), who successfully did this on the stage of the Omsk Theater. But the actor was busy, and the director of the picture, Vladimir Menshov, apart from Alexander Mikhailov, did not want to see anyone else in the image of the comical Kuzyakin.

Alexander Mikhailov, whose biography and career were rapidly developing at that time, was very busy, but he agreed to shoot. His partner in the film - Nina Doroshina - played the role of Nadia Kuzyakina in the Sovremennik Theater, so she started filming already well prepared. And so a wonderful on-screen duet was born, which provided the picture with a stunning success.

And although the film did not earn any special awards and prizes, it firmly entered the hearts of viewers and took pride of place in the list of classics of Soviet cinema.

Drama "Snakes"

In 1985, Alexander Mikhailov again appears on the screens already in the crime drama Zmeelov.

The hero of Mikhailov is Pavel Shorokhov, a man who decided to join the fight against shadow trade. After serving his sentence in the colony, Pavel returns to Moscow and immediately finds himself in the midst of criminal events and showdowns. He begins to conduct his own investigations and, to the best of his ability, fight economic criminals. As a result, Shorokhov, who crossed the road of the "trading" mafia, is killed in one of the street skirmishes.

Together with Mikhailov, such stars of Soviet cinema as Natalya Belokhvostikova, Leonid Markov, Svetlana Kryuchkova, Lyubov Polishchuk and others played in this film. The film received mixed reviews from critics. No one doubted the acting, but the script and director's work were criticized.

Nevertheless, the film is still of interest to the audience and is often broadcast on TV channels.

Melodrama "Bless the Woman"

"Bless the Woman" is a melodrama filmed by Stanislav Govorukhin in 2003. Actor Alexander Mikhailov played the role of sailor Yurlov in this film.

The character of Mikhailov appears in the life of the forty-year-old main character after many years of ordeals and misfortunes. Yurlov is a middle-aged positive character who is ready to give the exhausted woman everything that she was deprived of: a strong family, protection and support.

"Bless the Woman" is Mikhailov's fifty-first film work. He was almost 59 when he was in this film.

The painting by Stanislav Govorukhin won several prizes at various festivals. Alexander Mikhailov for the role of Yurlov received the Audience Award at the Vladivostok Film Festival "Pacific Meridian".

Actor Alexander Mikhailov, despite his age, actively continues to act in films. A year, several films with his participation are released on the screens. Mikhailov's last work is a role in the biographical drama "Poddubny", filmed by Gleb Orlov.

In this film, the actor plays Maxim Ivanovich - the principled, even slightly cruel father of the protagonist - wrestler Ivan Poddubny. The family lives in the Poltava province at the end of the 19th century. Maxim Ivanovich brings up his son in severity. It is the character of Mikhailov who teaches Ivan never to run away from a fight, not to complain and solve his problems on his own.

Of course, he does not support his son's decision to start a circus career. Because of this, the hero of Mikhailov cut off any contacts with Ivan Poddubny for many years. As a stubborn and principled person, he hides his love for the offspring deep, deep inside. However, he secretly rejoices at the success of his son and collects all the photos and newspaper articles dedicated to him.
