Which of the Russian stars adopted children. Russian celebrities who are raising adopted children. Lawyer Mikhail Barshchevsky, daughter Dasha and son Maxim

For some, adoption (adoption) is the last chance to become a mom and dad, for someone - an act of goodwill. Either way, it's good for the child.
Today, all over the world, the adoption of children, for one reason or another, left without parental care, is becoming an increasingly common phenomenon. Well, public people - they are just in plain sight.

Alexey Serebryakov does not like to talk about his personal life, share the details of his good deeds - even more so. The fact that Alexei has adopted children became known thanks to journalists who, without the consent of the actor, published this information in one publication. The case even went to court.
Alexei and his wife, a former choreographer at the Vakhtangov Theater, Maria, first took one boy from the orphanage - Daniil. Then the couple found out that Dani's younger brother Stepan remained in the orphanage. Without hesitation, Alexei and Maria adopted a second boy, despite the cramped life circumstances at that time. Alexey also could not remain indifferent to the rest of the children deprived of parental love: together with Irina Apeksimova and Andrey Smolyakov, he founded the Time to Live Foundation, whose work is focused on helping orphans.
Now Alexey and his family live in Toronto, Canada, but the actor continues to build his career in Russia. Recently, two popular series have been released with his participation - "Fartsa" and "Method". Two more will be released soon - Dr. Richter and Quartet, as well as the film Our Happy Tomorrow.

Plenipotentiary representative of the government of the Russian Federation, a well-known lawyer and an expert on the What? Where? When?" Mikhail Barshchevsky and his wife Olga Barkalova adopted two children, already being mature people and having grandchildren. Mikhail was the first to express the idea of ​​adoption, but Olga did not take it seriously. Two years later, Mikhail, already jokingly, again raised this topic - to his great surprise, his wife agreed, but only for two kids at once.
Olga and I have a biological daughter, at that time there were already two grandchildren who spent a lot of time in our country house. Once the grandchildren did not come, and I said to my wife: let's adopt a child, we are still young! But Olga said: “What are you talking about, we have grandchildren!” Two years have passed. We are driving in a car, the mood is bad - the grandchildren have not come for a long time, they live in Moscow, we are out of town, it’s lonely ... And in order to knock my wife off this topic, I say between times: “Well, let's adopt a child,” just to switch her with excitement and such a mood. But Olga suddenly answered: "Then two at once." I almost ran into a pole. Slowed down. He looked at her and asked: "Are you serious?". And she said, “Yes, I have been thinking about this for a long time. A boy and a girl,” Mikhail is quoted by the portal “Mercy. RU".
Olga and Mikhail visited several orphanages, talked with different children, for them, like many parents who decided to adopt, the first contact was important. And it happened to little Maxim.
Maxim immediately chose Misha. He went up to him, rapped his hand with all his might and laughed. Misha said: "This is mine!" Dasha was more careful. But still she smiled at me and went into her arms, - Olga said.
The Barshchevskys helped the twins Maxim and Daria find loving parents and a home, and they, in turn, gave Mikhail and Olga a second youth.
Olga definitely lost 20 years. For example, she was always athletic, but she never skated. And when the children grew up, they were 6 years old and they wanted to roller-skate, she got on the rollers and went with them. Now the children have gone to school, and I will find out what an interesting science arithmetic turns out to be. Etc. I am now telling my peers - do you want a second youth? Have children, take a child from an orphanage.

The famous TV presenter and journalist Svetlana Sorokina first became a mother at the age of 46, having adopted a three-year-old girl. Svetlana nurtured plans for a child for a long time before she decided to take a responsible step, and at first she wanted a boy. But in the end, things turned out a little differently.
“The last “drop” was my program “Basic Instinct”, in which we made the problem of adopted children the main topic. At the end of this program, I, giving the final speech, told the audience that I also want to take on the upbringing of the child. And, as you can see, she kept her promise. By the way, there were those among my friends and relatives who dissuaded me, saying that in Russia there are many other options. But I dismissed the test tube option right away. There are many abandoned children in Russia who need parents. Frankly, at first I wanted a boy of three or four years old. Searched in Moscow, searched in the provinces. Prepared "parental" documents in advance. And for a long time I did not know that Tonka was waiting for me, just me. Brown-eyed. Smiling. Abandoned, ”said Svetlana in an interview with Pavel Lobkov.
And again, as in most of these stories, everything was decided by a personal meeting with the child. As soon as Svetlana saw 11-month-old Tonya in the crowd of children, she realized who she had been looking for for so long. The girl also instantly responded to her in return.
“I am generally a tough, unsentimental person. But when I saw her in one of the groups, something clicked: my girl. By the way, shortly before that, Tonya rejected several potential parents, she simply did not communicate with them. And she held out her hands to me, went towards me. So it's not clear who chose whom."
By the way, the name Antonina was chosen by Svetlana for a reason. She decided to name her daughter after her grandmother.
“I’ll say it straight: my life began anew, with the letter A - the initial letter of the name Antonin.”


Tatyana Ovsienko's life was divided into before and after in 1999, when, while on tour in Penza, she took part in a charity event at the local Baby House. That evening, among the cheerful and noisy crowd of children, Tatyana noticed a quiet, sad 2.5-year-old boy aside. To the question of the singer "What's wrong with him?" The worker of the orphanage answered that the baby had a severe pathology of the heart. Mom abandoned him at birth, the case is already neglected and complicated, and there is very little time left, a few weeks.
“And I didn’t have peace from that very moment ... Upon returning home, I flew like a bullet to Bakulevka. But even there, no one wanted to take on such a neglected case. And only Professor Mikhail Anatolyevich Zelenikin, our guardian angel with Igor, said the coveted “yes”. 15 days after the operation, I was told that Igor could be taken home. I panicked. Firstly, I thought that after a complex operation, the child should be in the hospital for quite a long time, he needed constant medical supervision. Secondly, where to take? By that time, I had already firmly decided that Igorek would not return to any Penza, but in order to make the main decision like this in two weeks ... ”Tatiana said in an interview with Caravan of History magazine.
Tatyana confronted her husband, producer Vladimir Dubovitsky, with a fact - she simply called from the tour and said, “We have a son.”
“I became the happiest woman in the world, a mother, and I was not going to part with this fantastic joy! In my motherhood, I failed with my head. And there was no greater pleasure than preparing dinners for the baby - all my unspent love splashed out into the children's plates by the sea! And when Igorek called me mom, I flew: “This is the real thing! Finally I live!“
It became more difficult when Igor began a transitional age. Then Tatyana called Vladimir, with whom at that time she had been divorced for a long time and who lived in the USA, and asked for a little help - to send her son to a language camp. Since then, Igor has been living in America, but he tries to regularly visit his mother in Russia. He is 20 years old, he recently married a Brazilian. The couple had a son, Alexander.


By the time famous basketball player Andrey Kirilenko and his wife Maria Lopatova decided to adopt a child from an orphanage, they had two children. The couple wanted to expand the family, but Maria did not manage to get pregnant for a long time. However, Lopatova herself admits that she always wanted to adopt a child, and Andrei supported her.
“We were ready to have a foster child and we wanted a girl. This decision was completely normal for us. It was clear that sooner or later we would come to him."
The preparation of documents took 9 months - exactly as much as is necessary for bearing a child. Initially, Andrei and Maria wanted to adopt two - a brother and sister from two to five years old. Such were found, but unexpectedly the girl ended up in the hospital for a long time. Maria "understood that it was not destiny." But the fateful call happened almost immediately: Maria was invited to see a newborn girl, she agreed and ... realized that she had found her child.
“I took her in my arms and thought:“ How pretty she is! ”And something we cooed with her like that, I forgot about everything in the world and even went with her to the exit, and the head doctor followed me:“ Stop! Where are you going?!". I say: “What should I do, what should I sign so that I can pick her up?” She says: “Wait, you don’t know anything about her, I have to tell you her medical history, you need to think.” As a result, we agreed that I was listening to her now, but right tomorrow I’m coming to pick up my daughter. I say, "I'm only interested in whether she has AIDS or cancer." She says: “No!” I say: “Well, that's it, the issue is resolved.” Difficult childbirth, hypoxia, otitis media of the second degree - all this does not matter, ”said Maria.
The day after the first meeting, Maria took Sasha home. The feeling of awareness of what happened came only at home.
“When I brought her, I put her on a big bed, looked at her and sobbed. I was calm as a boa constrictor when my children were born. There was joy, but some inner, quiet. And then there were such emotions, everything is mixed. I thought: can I love her? Is this not my own child? What to do now in general?
Sasha quickly became a member of the family, the brothers, according to Maria, love her even more than each other. Five years later, in 2014, Andrei and Maria found out that they were expecting another child. In February 2015, their third boy was born.



Although the daughter of the President of Azerbaijan, Leyla Aliyeva, cannot be called a Russian celebrity in full, we nevertheless decided to include her in our selection: Leyla was married to the popular singer Emin Agalarov, she is known and loved in Russia.
In her country, Leyla is known for caring: she is vice president of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, often holds charity events, engages in youth programs and contributes to environmental protection. Visiting orphanages and boarding schools is also on the list of her mandatory activities, and one day such a trip became fateful for Leyla herself.
According to the executive director of the Foundation Anar Alekperov, thanks to frequent visits to such institutions and communication, Leyla developed good relations with many children, but she became especially attached to one girl - little Amina - and adopted her in July last year.
Emin Agalarov, to whom Leyla gave birth to two sons, also adopted a girl:
“Not so long ago, another child appeared in my family. I may not have been ready for this, but my life has changed a lot and I am very happy that this happened, ”he wrote.

The ex-soloist of the Mirage group, Margarita Sukhankina, became a mother for the first time, and two children at once, at the age of 48. But this important event was preceded by a difficult personal story. For the first time, Margarita managed to get pregnant many years ago, but then, at the insistence of her husband, she had an abortion at an already impressive time. Repentance and awareness of all the horror of what had happened came immediately, so when Margarita became pregnant again, the question of whether to give birth or not was not in principle. Unfortunately, at the eighth month, the baby died in the womb due to a medical error. In subsequent years, Margarita managed to get pregnant, but not to bear the baby. The miscarriage followed one after another.
“The only thing that was clear was the consequences of that terrible abortion, my endless stupidity. Therefore, now I tell everyone: if you “fly” in your youth and there is no husband, no money, no housing, no profession, give birth anyway. Abortion is the worst thing that can be. And God will help with the child, people will help, ”Margarita shared in an interview.
For the first time, Sukhankina's mother expressed the idea of ​​adoption, but the singer herself believed in her own strength and refused to give up so easily. Seven years have passed, due to health problems, doctors forbade Margarita to even think about the birth of her own children. Then she remembered her mother's words.
Margarita wanted to adopt a girl, but in one of the “So far everyone is at home” programs, she saw 4-year-old Seryozha and 3-year-old Lera and realized that she would take only them. The children lived in another distant city, but this did not stop Margarita - she flew after them, once again made sure that her first impression did not deceive her, and took the children to Moscow. Since then, according to Margarita, she has found the fullness of life and true happiness.

The news that the only son of Sergei Zverev was not his own became a kind of sensation, because the stylist himself always told only one version in an interview. His wife tragically died, and he was left with a small child in his arms. They began to doubt the veracity of these words after Stanislav Sadalsky published a post in his LiveJournal in 2009, where he said that Sergey took a 3-year-old boy from an orphanage in Irkutsk. In the blog, Stanislav cited the words of Sergey himself:
“When I entered the room of children who could not walk at all, I almost died of fear. Wooden cribs were gnawed! I thought: “Rats!” And these are children ... I was shocked! They were hardly fed there. Food was stolen and taken home. I grabbed that boy and ran out!”
Sergei himself either confirmed this information or denied it, so the veracity of Sadalsky's post is not known for certain.


Actress Ekaterina Gradova decided to become a mother for the second time at the age of 47. She got married, was actively involved in charity work and once saw a 2-year-old boy in one of the orphanages. She wanted to get custody, but she did not know how her husband would react to this. Fears were in vain: Igor Timofeev supported the idea of ​​his wife. By the way, Ekaterina and Igor took the boy Alexei from the same orphanage, from which in the early 70s they took children to shoot the series “17 Moments of Spring”.


Victor Rakov and his wife Lyudmila thought about adoption when their daughter was already an adult. After reviewing several dozen children's profiles, they chose one boy and went to get acquainted. On December 24, 2009, Victor and Lyudmila arrived at that orphanage, and the director, knowing about their plans and sympathies, unexpectedly suggested that they pay attention to 2-year-old Danila. Communication with him caused the spouses just the same feeling that almost everyone who had ever taken a child from an orphanage experienced - they realized that Danya was their son.
“For Lucy, this decision has matured for a long time, but for me ... I voiced the public service announcement “A foster child can become a family”, met women who order such advertising, and they told me a lot of interesting things about adoption. Then we began to say with Lyusya that if we don’t give birth ourselves, then we will adopt. But then I realized that one does not interfere with the other: you can adopt, and, if God wills, give birth to your own. When we found Danya, we realized - we need to adopt, - Victor said in the program “So far, everyone is at home.” - Initially, we went to see another baby, but the director of this orphanage suddenly says: “Pay attention to this boy,” and brings Danila to us. After talking, we got into the car with Lucy, and I told her: “What else are we going to look for? This is the person we need." And Lucy was silent, because she immediately realized: this is her child.
According to Lyudmila, Danya also immediately mistook them for his parents.
“At first he was squeezed, and then, when we arrived for the second time, we brought our clothes, changed him, he immediately took our hands and when we left the orphanage, he never turned around. It felt like he was always with us.”


When a three-year-old boy Seryozha appeared in the family of director Vladimir Naumov and actress Natalya Belokhvostikova, they were 80 and 65 years old, respectively. They did not think about adoption, they did not plan anything of the kind, everything was decided by chance. In 2007, Natalya performed at a creative evening in an orphanage. Many different kids stretched their hands to her, treated themselves to sweets, told her something, but a quiet, modest boy attracted her attention. He approached her and said: “Aunty, everyone has crosses, but I don’t. Give me, please ... "
Natalya told Vladimir about him, and the next time they came together. And they also left together, only not together, but already three.
Kirill used to be reserved and shy. He only talked to us. Now he has grown up and become more sociable. Our daughter Natasha is already an adult, she has been well without us for a long time, and Kirill filled our life with new meaning. He saved Vladimir Naumovich and me from loneliness, - Natalia said in an interview with Sobesednik.
“I would give all the children mom and dad, because I’m sure that the worst thing in life is loneliness. Therefore, if you have the desire and opportunity to adopt a child, do not hesitate - hurry to do good, ”says Natalia.

Everyone comes to the decision to adopt a foster child in their own special way. For one reason or another, someone is desperate to give birth, someone is tired of waiting for the very person from whom they want children, someone just wants to give at least one child a happy childhood, and someone saw a baby in an orphanage and understood that this is his baby! "Letidor" tells about the most caring stars who gave their tenderness and love to those who needed them so much.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt

Despite a mysterious divorce cloaked in "irreconcilable differences," Angelina Jolie, 41, and Brad Pitt, 53, remain the world's most exemplary adopters. Perfect on the screen, they even dragged their children into an unconscious game called perfectionism in everything.

Three relatives - three adopted, three boys - three girls. Angelina adopted her first child - Maddox from Cambodia - back in March 2012, being the wife of "bad Santa" - Billy Bob Thornton. After her divorce from the actor, Jolie received sole custody of her son. Apparently, she likes this format of upbringing, because even after the third divorce (with Brad Pitt), “Mrs. Smith” asked the court to place custody of six children on her fragile shoulders.

It is worth paying tribute to Angelina, she never looked for easy ways. For example, in 2005 she adopted Zakhara, who was in a very serious condition. The child suffered from malnutrition, dehydration and salmonella poisoning, and the actress was engaged in her treatment and rehabilitation for a long time.

Married to Brad, Angie gave birth to three kids: daughter Shiloh in 2006, and two years later, twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline.

Well, since Brad was very sensitive to his wife's "hobby" - adoption, in 2007 the couple "polished" the family idyll with the adopted boy Pax from Vietnam.

By the way, Angelina has a tattoo on her shoulder with the geographical coordinates of the places where each of her 6 children was born. Not to forget, probably.

Margarita Sukhankina

[email protected]

In 2013, the life of the singer Margarita Sukhankina changed beyond recognition - the artist adopted two kids from an orphanage. For the first time, the singer saw Lera and Seryozha in the program "So far, everyone is at home." Then she realized that it was no longer possible to postpone this responsible decision. The ex-soloist of the Mirage group does not make a secret out of adoption and does not put a taboo on talking about her adopted children. Moreover, Margarita Sukhankina constantly maintains her own blog on Letidor, in which she frankly tells readers about everything related to the adoption of children.

“It so happened that in my life there were a number of tragic circumstances, because of which I had to forget about childbearing. The idea to take a child who needs help and support matured gradually. There was no such thing that I woke up early in the morning and realized: that's it - I want it! This early morning came after a certain amount of time, when I weighed all the pros and cons, consulted with my parents, because their help and support in raising children is incredible, without which I would not have done. If they had said no, then nothing would have happened, ”the artist says on her blog on Letidor.

Now the singer's children - 8-year-old Seryozha and 7-year-old Lera - go to school, play music. They are loved, they are taken care of. And Margarita herself is beaming with happiness.

“I don’t know who is more fortunate - me with children or children with me. There was an incredible incentive to do something, to live, to create, because there is someone for it. In general, this is an incredible event, there should be children in the family!”

52-year-old Sukhankina is sure.

Sharon Stone

Today's birthday girl Sharon Stone is a truly unique woman. She coped with a difficult task: she combined frantic sexuality and the highest intellect. Sharon is officially one of the smartest actresses in Hollywood: her IQ is nothing less than 154 points! However, despite all the titles and statuses, the star of "Basic Instinct" did not feel harmony, rushed from one man to another and felt lonely. Woe from the mind? Or from an unfulfilled desire to become a mother? Rather, the second.

After three miscarriages, the actress was on the verge of despair. But still, it’s not in vain that she is considered the smartest - the solution was found quickly. With her husband, vice president and editor of the San Francisco Chronicle newspaper Phil Bronshein, in 2000 they adopted a newborn boy, Roen. However, after 4 years the couple divorced.

By the way, Bronshein has repeatedly admitted that Sharon is not the most ideal and understanding wife in the world. In addition, the ex-husband called the actress a big fan of intellectual disputes (of course) with very developed leadership qualities. In intellectual disputes, Phil may have lost, but in a more important case - a court case for the guardianship of his son - he won.

Sharon experienced this incident hard, but not for long. Quickly orienting herself, she adopted two more boys - Laird (turns 12 in May) and Quinn (turns 11 in June). Now Sharon is absolutely happy! She often sees her eldest son and spends a lot of time with Laird and Quinn. “Children fill life with deep meaning and give such a feeling of closeness and understanding of life, it’s even strange for me now to communicate with people who do not have children,” the actress admitted in an interview with Closer Weekly magazine.

Charlize Theron

Maybe adopting black children is the new Hollywood trend? If so, then 41-year-old Charlize Theron is one of the most fashionable dream factory moms. The actress has two dark-skinned children: in 2012, the Oscar-winning actress adopted a boy from South Africa, and 3 years later, a girl from the United States.

As a teenager, at school, I was given the task of writing a letter about the future. I wrote: "I would like to go to the orphanage and take the child." I always knew that I would adopt someone.

In general, Charlize had a good prospect of creating a complete international family with Sean Penn himself at the head. Alas, in 2015, the couple broke off the engagement, and Charlize joined the tacit society of star single mothers. But she has neither the time nor the desire to worry about this.

The actress spends a lot of time with 5-year-old Jackson and 3-year-old August, and, moreover, adheres to very liberal methods of education. That alone is worth Jackson's outfit for children's Halloween in 2016 ... The guy was in a bright sequined tutu, pink t-shirt and floral print leggings.

Sharon, wake up, you have a son! But, apparently, the freedom of children's self-expression is another trend of Hollywood mothers. And vivid proof of this is the sons of Adele, Gwen Stefani, Will Smith and Megan Fox. Their sons can be found walking around in dresses and skirts. A very strange and ambiguous turn in children's Hollywood fashion, but the stars have their own quirks!

MIA "Russia Today"

A favorite of arthouse directors, 52-year-old Alexei Serebryakov is known mainly for his roles as hooligans and alcoholics. However, in real life, he has long had one (main) role - an ideal father and a decent family man.

Alexei has been married to his wife Maria for more than 17 years, and all this time the couple did not waste time in vain - they grew and grew stronger. Alexei immediately adopted Maria's daughter from his first marriage and, deciding not to stop there, adopted two brothers from the orphanage, Danila and Stepan, into the family.

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman

Adoption of children around the world is becoming more popular every day. Russian celebrities also take kids to raise. Among them are Alexei Serebryakov, Svetlana Sorokina, Tatyana Ovsienko, Sergei Zverev, Ekaterina Gradova... On the eve of Children's Day, we talked with those who decided on such an unpopular, alas, act.

Sergei Zverev got into debt?

Among the first adopted son took stylist Sergei Zverev. Serezha will turn 21 this summer. We became aware of rumors that Zverev's son began to be friends with the green snake, quit his job and became overgrown with debts. Not so long ago, the son of the king of glamor was seen in one of the capital's banks, where he took out a loan. We made a call to the star.

“Nothing like that,” Sergey answered us. - Serezha does not let me down. I will not hide, we had problems with him. And who didn't have them when they were young? But I will say this, I am a strict dad and put everything in its place. The son is working. At least it doesn't sit on my neck. I believe that children should be brought up in severity, - says Zverev, - but be sure to help when they really need it. Otherwise, who will help our children, if not us? I don’t get into the affairs of my son’s heart until he asks me about it. But when it will be necessary, I will give any advice with pleasure.

Recall that Sergei Zverev took the child from the Irkutsk orphanage in the early 90s, then the situation in orphanages was catastrophic. The children did not have enough food, not to mention medicines. So Sergei saw a child who was very ill. He felt sorry for the baby.

According to Sergei Anatolyevich, at the sight of sick children, his heart bleeds. Zverev's mother was against her son taking the child to be raised, despite the fact that she herself was an orphanage. Sergey was able to convince his mother, and the boy began to live with them. As a result, Valentina Timofeevna succumbed to the persuasion of her son. She helped raise Seryozha Jr.

Natalya Belokhvostikova brought her son a cross

In 2007, actress Natalya Belokhvostikova, speaking at a creative evening in an orphanage, met a baby whom she could not forget. Having left home, Natalya Nikolaevna recalled the little boy Kirill, who asked her to bring him a cross. All the children ate sweets, which the actors brought a whole trunk, and Cyril stood sadly on the sidelines and asked for a pectoral cross. Without thinking twice, Natalya, together with her husband Vladimir Naumov, again visited the baby. They couldn't go home without him. Kirill clung to them as if they were family. It seemed that they had known this little man all their lives.

- Kiryusha, - says Natalya Nikolaevna, - used to be closed and shy. He only talked to us. Now he has grown up and become more sociable. Our daughter Natasha is already an adult, she has been well without us for a long time, and Kirill filled our life with new meaning. He saved Vladimir Naumovich and me from loneliness.

Svetlana Sorokina adopted Tonya

TV presenter Svetlana Sorokina had everything: a great career, a luxurious mansion with servants, a luxurious limousine. But the TV personality did not leave the feeling of emptiness. Resigned that she was not destined to give birth, Svetlana began to look for a child in orphanages. Arriving at another shelter, she went into the room where the younger kids were playing. 11-month-old Tonechka went towards her, moving funny with the help of a walker. Today Tonechka is 11 years old. Antonina turned out to be a talented girl. She brilliantly studies at the music school at the Gnesinsky College. Mom and daughter often travel together. So far, 57-year-old Svetlana Innokentievna is raising her daughter alone. There were rumors that the TV presenter had remarried, but we found out from her that this was just idle talk. With her husband, cameraman Vladimir Grechishkin, Sorokin broke up at the peak of her career. Svetlana and Vladimir were a beautiful couple. Together they dreamed of adopting a child, but their love could not stand the test of distance. Svetlana's husband did not want to move with her from St. Petersburg to Moscow, where the broadcast star was offered a job. Svetlana's colleagues tried to dissuade her from adoption, but after a while they told her how good she was. Svetlana still manages to do everything and, according to her inner circle, she became younger after Tosha appeared in her life.

Singer Tatyana Ovsienko dreamed of children for many years. But when she heard from the doctors that she would never have them, she decided to take the child to be brought up.

While on tour in Penza, the singer visited several orphanages for the purpose of charity. This was way back in 1998. In one of the shelters, she was told that there is a 3-year-old boy suffering from a heart defect. The baby urgently needed an expensive operation. He could die, the clock counted. Tatyana did everything to instantly send the child to Moscow. When the boy was on the mend, Ovsienko adopted him. At that time, she was in a de facto marriage with actor Valery Nikolaev. Together they decided that it would be better for Igor to study in America. Now the guy is already 19 years old.

“My son,” Ovsienko told us, “has grown into a bright man. We had everything like everyone else. We abandoned our studies and quarreled. But everything turned over. Igor is an attentive and kind person. I think his wife will be very lucky with him.
