Leonid barats about new love after a divorce. The new girl of Leonid Barats. Leonid Barats and his new wife: the life of an actor with his ex-wife

Life is wider than morality, and love does not depend on formal status. Leonid Barats tells for the first time how he survived a divorce and introduces his girlfriend Anna Moiseeva.

Two years ago, he divorced actress Anna Kasatkina, whose marriage lasted 22 years. Today, Leonid, who prefers to be called not as indicated in the documents, but as his parents and friends used to call him - Alexei, is building relationships with another Anna - Moiseeva. Throughout this time, the actor was in no hurry to make statements about changes in his personal life and comment on his status.

When asked what prompted him to give this interview right now, Alexey answers this way:

With the premiere (recently the premiere performance of the Quartet And "... There is something missing in Borenka" in the Zuev Palace of Culture - Ed.) my decision to indicate changes in my personal life is connected very indirectly. Rather, this is due to the fact that Anya will take part in the Mrs. Globe in China and it is important for her that there are some publications. And it seemed to me right to do it now.

I generally try not to talk about my personal life. And what happened is completely impossible to put into words. It's not that there aren't enough words. To understand, it must be experienced. It's best not to worry though. So many defendants have participated in recent events, and everyone has not cooled down yet. I agreed to the interview, among other things, because it will be a big step towards certainty. Certainty is easier to live with, I think.

Alexey, Anya is a psychologist, not an actress, how did you cross paths with her?

She is from Odessa, I am from Odessa, we met in Odessa, in a common company. I would not say that the feelings were mutual right away. There was a long platonic phone romance because we lived in different cities. Then she began to "turn to face me." And then there were so many events, emotions. Real "Russian-Ukrainian slides". There was love and affection. Anya is a woman who gave me such a range of feelings! There were a lot of happy ones, but I would gladly throw away some paints from this palette. From our relationship, I learned that the opposite of love is not hate. And indifference. Hatred - in this case, the same love, only with a minus sign.

You said "Russian-Ukrainian slides". What are these fluctuations?

With circumstances. We met when both she was married and I was married. Anya had an easier situation: she simply considered that everything should be finished there. True, the process of her divorce was very difficult. But the decision to divorce was easier for her: it was overdue. And I have ... My 20 years of life in the family, they were happy. But even before I met Anya, something happened and my ex-wife and I tried to save our relationship, but at some point it became clear to me that this was simply impossible to do. A lot is said about this in the films "What men talk about", "What else men talk about". When writing our stories, we always rely on personal experience. In these pictures there are a lot of events and phrases related to my situation. In general, we have been trying to revive our relationship for a year. All sorts of attempts were made. But it became clear that even children will have a hard time when we are in such a relationship. However, if you've had 20 years of happy life, it's hard not to miss that time. It probably does not fit into moral standards, but these are my feelings. I love my children very much, we are very close. As soon as something began to happen, the first acute reaction was in children. They were scared that I would not be in their lives, and I made a lot of efforts to prove that I would always be there.

Did they make it clear that divorce would not change anything?

Change, can not change. Circumstances change - and, of course, it hurts the children ... I think that until the end of my life, the feeling of guilt for this story, for this turn of their fate will be with me ... I made it clear that divorce will not change my attitude towards them.

Is your eldest daughter, Elizabeth, already quite an adult?

Yes, she is married, studying in London at the acting department. And I miss and hope that after training she will return here. The youngest, Eva, is 13 years old. She is very talented and a good girl. And if you ask me when I feel calm and well, then I will answer that it is good for me when I walk with her in the park.

What brings you and Anya closer is the fact that you are both from Odessa?

Yes, probably, people from Odessa, from the south it is warmer, softer. I found in her these qualities, support.

Understanding?

I would say that the key word here is still "warmth". Because you can live without understanding, but with warmth. You can understand with warmth, or you can not understand, but with warmth. It is important. She is also beautiful and smart.

After the story that happened to you, how do you feel about marriage? Don't you think that in the modern world this is an obsolete form of relationship?

No I do not think so. I would say this: I do not see myself outside the family. Now my happiness formula looks like this: to be needed by those people who need me. This applies to friendship, work, and family, of course.

Doesn't it bother you that you fit into a common pattern: is it accepted in our country that men, having reached the age of 40, change a woman?

Although the mechanisms that led to such a finale were completely different for me, I fit the template. In our country, opinion makers, that is, people who create patterns, are women on the benches. If the couple broke up, it was the man who left the woman, not otherwise. But I know that it is not so. And God bless them, with templates and aunts. Life is still wider than patterns, and even than morality.

Your ex-wife continues to work with you, she is still a member of the Quartet I team and is busy with you in a new play. Is the painful period of the relationship already over?

You know, it turned out that when you part with a person with whom you have lived for many years, you don’t even suspect how many threads connect you with him. How many roots have you grown into each other. And how difficult it is to extract these roots. And, probably, they do not need to be cut all. We have remained close friends. My ex-wife is a very decent and bright woman. But it so happened that at some point we came to a point of no return. Our common life has remained in the past, we must recognize this and move on. We are in good business and human relations. In fact, it has been five years since we broke up, but for me this interview is a rather sensitive step. And for her it will be, I think, painful.

Will the development of her personal life be sensitive to you? Or do you really want everything to work out for her?

Of course, I wish with all my might ... But how it will actually be, what I will feel, how I will react - I don’t know.

Work is very dependent on the status in which the person is. Some work better when they are alone and "in pain", others cannot work when their personal life is not going well. How are you now?

It's easier for me when I'm courageous and light. Reflection and gloomy thoughts are always with me, they will not go anywhere, you don’t have to worry, but together with a good mood, this gives the right tone. Therefore, it is easier when there is lightness behind the doors of the office. Although I can work in different states. Slava Khait and Seryozha Petreikov, my co-authors, and I come to the office every day and write. Or we are engaged in some organizational and creative affairs.

As Tchaikovsky said, the muse must be trained. More precisely, "inspiration is a guest who does not like to visit the lazy."

Yes, Tchaikovsky said... And Chekhov believed that one should force oneself to sit down at the table. So we sit down and write. Even when it's really boring. With each of us there were such moments, all the same, the work "pulls out". We have a unique opportunity to sublimate all our experiences, frustrations, "melt" into dialogues of heroes. Everyone is going through a midlife crisis, and we also earn money from it. In this sense, I am an absolutely happy person, because we almost always do what we want.

A scene from the play "... There is something missing in Borenka"

What is your new play "...there is something missing in Borenka" about what?

Our viewers, it seems to me, are divided into two categories: people who want to continue the old one - "Radio Day" or "Men's Talk", and those who say: "Well, that's enough, let's do something new." So for the second, we probably did the right performance. A performance about us today. We wrote the play for four years and it was quite difficult for us to stage. New artists are involved, and the performance is more dramatic than previous ones. We played at the end of October, and now we will give three or four performances every month. Starring Maxim Vitorgan. His hero is trying to change his life, because he does not like everything: what he does, with whom he lives, with whom he is friends. And in the end, he discovers a rather terrible thing for a creative person: he understands that he is ... average. He admits his weakness - and this makes him strong. We usually recognize only those weaknesses that color us - "I'm a workaholic" or "I'm trouble-free." And to admit that you don’t know something, you don’t know how or you can’t, it’s hard. Understanding yourself is the hardest part. But when that happens, certainty sets in. And then life becomes easier.

Yes! In May-June we are going to shoot the third part of the film "What Men Talk About". But unlike the performance, this story will be just light, fun and funny. We invest our money, and the box office is important to us. The theater hall accommodates 500 people, we play eight performances a month. And the film audience is much wider, so here you need to understand that such experiments as, for example, "Faster than rabbits" can be done on the screen only if you have extra money. We cannot afford this, because we do not have this money - neither the uncle nor the state gives us money.

You have been researching the midlife crisis for a long time. Has your audience changed or is it roughly the same audience?

Our audience is our pride. Smart, interesting, he is the best we have. He probably goes through the same stages as us. And about the crisis, I understood a simple thing. Since childhood, each of us has been invested with some principles, moral criteria, understanding of life. And the world looks like this to you. And then he turns out to be different, and this is a painful discovery. To overcome the crisis, you need to fall in love with this new world.

Alexey, how does Anya feel about your work, how passionate is she about what you do, what do you love?

What I do is very important to Anya, she is a good spectator, listener, she laughs in the right places, and what is important, sincerely and quietly. She responds accurately, which is important to me. Do you understand what's the matter? Previously, everyone lived in the same cultural space: we, our parents, grandparents... We watched the same films, read the same books, and then there was a scrapping. And people were divided: there are those who can talk to each other with quotes from films and books, understanding each other perfectly, and there are others who are only ten years younger, but with them a completely different conversation, or rather, no conversation. I'm not saying that everything new is worse, maybe even better. But the new generation has a hard time with old films and old books, or just books, but I find it difficult to give new ones. I get on the plane, turn on the music that my assistant uploaded at my request. And so I make my way through one song, through the second, then turn on Pink Floyd, drink a glass of cognac and finally get pleasure. I am still drawn to the understandable and beloved by a magnet. I can appreciate something new. But it's already hard for me to love this new one.

You have to force yourself.

Yes figs you will force. That's love. Love is like laughter. Laughter is the most objective manifestation of emotions. Laughter cannot be faked. Despite the age difference, Anya understands what I'm joking about.

How do you see your future together?

The hackneyed phrase "God disposes" is certainly true. And, as it turned out, nothing is impossible. When you think, "Oh no, this can't happen to me," that's exactly what's happening, right now. So we do not predict the future, but I hope that all the people involved in this story will have a good future, because there is a lot of love in this story. And since absolutely all the participants are good and decent people, I hope that we will move as a united front towards a bright common and private future.

Lesha is smart, erudite, handsome. I am very proud of what he does, and I always read sketches of his future performances with great pleasure. What attracted me to him? Firstly, he was very persistent, and secondly, I have never been so interesting with anyone. We could just sit and talk until the morning, listen to songs, watch movies. It contains all the qualities that I imagined in an ideal man. This is completely "my" person. We often react in the same way. Some gestures, words... He starts a sentence - I finish. I really "grew up" next to him, not only in terms of education, but also morally. Became a different person. I think it's much better.

In December, I will represent Ukraine at the Mrs. Globe in China, on the island of Hainan. I plan to travel alone, the support group will help me via Skype. This is a very rich and interesting program: 12 days, 70 participants. I recently graduated with a degree in psychology, and the main reason why I agreed to participate in the competition is that the event is closely related to the W.I.N. foundation. This fund helps victims not only from physical violence, but also from moral, psychological. And for me, as a novice psychologist, it is very interesting to learn from experience. I feel in myself the potential, the strength to help women who are going through difficult times, deal with social problems. I have something to say. It is difficult to imagine a woman who does not have a negative experience. We are not aware of our femininity and make mistakes that we could have avoided. In my first marriage, I had a very difficult experience, and the consequences of divorce still haunt me. It took me a long time to come to understand how to deal with negative experiences. I want women to understand that they can ask for help. And do not be left alone with difficult problems.

I have not yet decided what my work will look like in the end - will it be a private practice or maybe work in a foundation. I intuitively find my way.

Fedor and Svetlana Bondarchuk

Ekaterina Klimova and Igor Petrenko

Marital experience: 10 years
Children: Matvey and Roots

The fact that this couple broke up, the fans could not believe for a long time, and the spouses themselves tried to restore relations, but nothing came of it. Even common children did not help to hold the family together: in 2014, Klimova and Petrenko each went on an independent voyage. Both pretty quickly arranged a personal life and had children. Igor, like a true gentleman, preferred not to talk about the reasons for the divorce, and Katya, already married to actor Gela Meskhi, broke the silence and said that her husband's betrayal was to blame. “If I hadn’t left then, then there would have been only some kind of continuous tragedy. I could definitely be in trouble! I would get sick. Or maybe she would have died ... ”, - the actress confessed. But even these confessions did not cross out the main thing: Ekaterina and Igor avoided risky steps in every possible way and eventually managed to part, if not friends, then at least not enemies. Although, taught by bitter experience, Klimova now avoids talking about her personal life in the press and sharing her happiness - no matter how they jinx it.

Leonid Barats and Anna Kasatkina

Family experience: 24 years
Children: Elizabeth and Eva

The members of the "I Quartet" should definitely be more careful with what they say from the stage and play in films - much of what has been said comes true. Following his hero, Barats decided to part with his wife. With actress Anna Kasatkina (in the film “What Men Talk About”, she plays a woman who exclaims “Refused? Zhanna Friske?”), At the same time, he maintained an excellent relationship, because the ex-spouses continue to work together. This is probably the merit of Kasatkina herself, who showed female wisdom. “I still have a very warm relationship with my ex-wife, despite the fact that we broke up with her. Anna behaves decently in this situation, for which I am grateful to her, and I hope she can say the same about me, ”Barats admitted in an interview, who, by the way, managed to arrange his personal life. Soon after the divorce, he began an affair with another Anna, Moiseeva, with whom Leonid is happy to this day.

Fedor and Svetlana Bondarchuk

Marital experience: 25 years
Children: Sergey and Barbara
Grandchildren: Margarita and Vera

This union seemed to everyone, without exception, ideal: the famous director and the slender beauty, along with early youth and ... forever? No one could have imagined that, having become grandparents twice, Fedor and Svetlana would plan to put one more stamp in their passports. This couple has gone through a lot: the dashing 90s, finding yourself in a profession, periods of success and lack of money, difficulties with children. Together they raised their son Sergei, together they fought for the health of their daughter Varvara, who was born prematurely and has developmental features. Bondarchuks were a real symbol of a strong marriage, and it seemed that after the silver one they would certainly celebrate the golden wedding. But - it didn't happen. The couple prefers not to talk about the reasons for the divorce, but the optimistic tone of the joint statement commands respect. “With love and gratitude to each other for the years we have lived together, still remaining close people, maintaining mutual respect and love for our relatives, we, Fedor and Svetlana Bondarchuk, announce: we have decided to divorce. The time we spent together was wonderful, but today our paths have diverged - there are no conflicts, resentments or contradictions behind this fact. We are no longer a couple, but we remain friends,” the couple say. And in this sense, they have a lot to learn. Now the ex-lovers are happy in a new relationship - the actress and director Paulina Andreeva became Fedor's chosen one, and Svetlana stopped hiding the affair with the director of the design agency Sergey Kharchenko last fall.

Alena Khmelnitskaya and Tigran Keosayan

Family experience: 21 years
Children: Alexandra and Ksenia

The news that the union of the beautiful actress and the talented director broke up sounded like a bolt from the blue, despite the fact that both sides tried not to advertise this information as much as possible. Only secular gossips talked about the reasons for the separation of Alena and Tigran, the former spouses themselves remained silent, not allowing themselves to attack each other. This is understandable: the couple, in addition to being one of the most beautiful in Russian cinema, was also distinguished by intelligence that is rare for our time. Keosayan, already happy in other respects and having become a father twice, did not allow himself a single attack on Khmelnitskaya, but she, although she gave interviews, was as restrained as possible in her judgments. After the divorce, Alena decided to devote her life to her daughters - the eldest Alexandra, however, almost does not need her mother's care, but the younger Ksyusha, who at the time of the divorce was only three years old, is still very dependent on her mother. Now Keosayan is in a relationship with journalist Margarita Simonyan, with whom he had two children (the couple is preparing for the birth of their third common child), and his ex-wife found love in the person of businessman Alexander Sinyushin.

Yana Churikova and Denis Lazarev

Family experience: 8 years
Children: Taisiya

The married life of a popular TV presenter could be considered exemplary: Churikova lived with businessman Denis Lazarev for eight years, the couple raised their common daughter Taisia ​​and son Lazarev from their first marriage together. Yana talked about the fact that she is happy in marriage in numerous interviews, not forgetting, however, to add that work is also important for her. Having headed the MTV channel, Churikova plunged headlong into her career, and, by her own admission, sometimes forgot to leave an authoritative tone in the office, using it with her family. Probably, this is what caused the discord. However, now the ex-husband of Yana Churikova nobly spares the reputation of the mother of her child and refuses to be frank about the break. “Yana and I broke up a long time ago, everything is quiet, peaceful. Now everyone lives their own life. I don’t see the point in sharing details from the series, how, what and why happened, because this is our own business, ”said Denis Lazarev in an interview.

Sergey and Irina Bezrukov

Family experience: 15 years
Children: no

The union of Sergei and Irina Bezrukov was one of the most closed in Russian show business. In a few interviews, the couple preferred to talk about art and not touch the personal. Nevertheless, it was noticeable that Irina literally took care of her husband: she accompanied him on trips, helped in his work, and when Sergei headed the Provincial Theater, she specially mastered the rare profession of an audio commentary. Irina stoically ignored rumors around the person of her beloved, and even when another scandal arose in the press, she supported Bezrukov in courts for the protection of honor and dignity, which, by the way, he invariably won. In 2013, it became known that there was (and more than one) reason for the rumors - the journalists managed to find out that Bezrukov had two illegitimate children from the St. Petersburg actress Kristina Smirnova (the actor himself officially confirmed this information only in 2016). The news of the separation of Sergei and Irina sounded shortly after the tragic death of Bezrukova's son from a previous marriage. But even at such a difficult moment, the actress did not allow herself to criticize her ex-husband, remaining extremely correct. “I try to think positively, give myself the right attitudes. I strive to bring more harmony, joy and love to every day, just like my son Andrey wanted,” Irina comments on changes in life. Irina has not yet said a word about the new marriage of the ex-wife with director Anna Matinson.

Elena Proklova and Andrey Trishin

Family experience: 30 years
Children: Polina

With a statement that she intends to file for divorce, actress and TV presenter Elena Proklova shocked not only fans, but also her own husband. In a frank interview, the star admitted that the relationship has become obsolete, she and Andrei have had different interests for a long time, they eat separately, live separately from each other in a large country house and generally exist as neighbors rather than as spouses. The last straw, according to Proklova, was that Trishin did not approve of her passion for applied arts - Elena paints bottles at her leisure. In her assessments, Proklova was harsh and did not restrain herself. “I understand that I’m probably an idiot, since I’m breaking up with a man after 30 years. We have everything in common - a daughter, a house, a life. But on the other hand ... Between us for a long time there is no most important thing: having met, we do not run towards each other, but disperse into rooms. We are not spouses, we are neighbors…”. True, the divorce was never formally formalized, but the relationship, alas, was not restored.

Vladimir and Lyudmila Putin

Family experience: 30 years
Children: Maria and Katerina

The divorce of the president and the first lady can be called a reference, and the spouses themselves in a joint interview called it civilized, and these words were repeatedly quoted by the media around the world. In the words of Vladimir Vladimirovich, his wife honestly "defended the watch", and the separation is due to the fact that Lyudmila Alexandrovna does not like publicity and no longer wants to fulfill the duties of the wife of the head of state. Indeed, after the divorce, Putin appeared in front of journalists only once at one of the cultural events and now avoids the press. According to some reports, she married businessman Artur Ocheretny and is happy, while Vladimir Vladimirovich continues to be married to his work and he simply does not have time to arrange his personal life. The relationship of the ex-wife was very touching: the president repeatedly stated that he was in close contact with his daughters and ex-wife, and even expressed concern about her loneliness, complaining that he would be able to breathe calmly only when Lyudmila Aleksandrovna entered into a new marriage.

Vladimir and Natalia Potanin

Family experience: 30 years
Children: Anastasia, Ivan, Vasily

The divorce of the oligarch Vladimir Potanin was a complete surprise not only for a large country, but also for his wife Natalia. According to the woman, nothing foreshadowed such an ending, and she could not suspect her husband of intentions to break off relations. The news of this took Natalya by surprise, and what happened next was like a bad dream. Numerous courts did not allow the wife of the oligarch to obtain worthy alimony for the youngest son Vasily (the older children grew up and provide for themselves), the issue of dividing property was also resolved long and painfully. Natalya was finally finished off by the news that Vladimir Potanin had married and was raising a daughter in a new marriage. So it became obvious that the reason for the collapse of the once strong and exemplary family was the appearance of a young and more successful rival. It was not possible to keep a good face with a bad game: defending her rights, Natalya Potanina gave a series of interviews in which she frankly spoke about the tricks of her ex-husband. The businessman, however, kept the Olympic calm.

Leonid Barats is a bright and talented actor, whose fate is inextricably linked with the fate of the popular theater project "Quartet I". Together with other actors of this humorous theater, our today's hero played many bright and memorable roles, thereby earning the love and recognition of the audience.

Currently, Leonid's creative career is on the rise. He acts in films and often appears on the theater stage. Probably everyone knows about it. But what else do we know about the life and work of this extraordinary actor? We decided to collect some interesting facts from his biography today.

Early years, childhood and the family of Leonid Barats

Our today's hero was born in one of the largest cities in Ukraine - Odessa. He was born and raised in a Jewish family. His father, Grigory Isaakovich, worked as a journalist. And my mother - Zoya Izrailevna - was an ordinary methodologist in kindergarten.

Oddly enough, since childhood, Leonid Barats' parents wanted him to choose a creative specialty for himself. Among the main "favorites" were the professions of an actor and a journalist. And our today's hero did not object to such a development of events.

From an early age, he often visited his father to work, studying the world of Soviet journalism from the inside, and at the same time attended amateur acting classes at his native school. Both of these activities - journalism and acting - really liked the young Odessa citizen, and therefore for a long time the painful choice of a profession was the main difficulty in his life.

In the end, Leonid's friendship with another Odessa schoolboy, Rostislav Khait, became the decisive factor. They had known each other since first grade. They attended acting classes together, and later began to communicate closely outside the school walls. Some time later, young actors began to make plans to conquer the Moscow theater scene. Having waited for the end of school, two friends gathered simple belongings and went to enter GITIS. Surprisingly, the entrance exams turned out to be successful for both of them.

Leonid Barats about the first of April

While studying at a theater university, Rostislav introduced Leonid to two other young actors - Kamil Larin and Alexander Demidov, who already had good experience in theater and cinema by that time. Friends began to spend a lot of time together, and subsequently decided to continue their cooperation in the future. Thus, at some point, the idea of ​​​​creating a comedy theater - "Quartet I" appeared.

Within the framework of this project, each of the participants acted not only as an actor, but also as a screenwriter and producer. All performances were created by joint efforts, and this approach very soon began to bear fruit. The first performance of the young team was directed and staged on the training stage of GITIS. However, later the "Quartet I" began to perform frequently outside the institute's walls.

Star Trek by Leonid Barats, films and theater

In the Quartet I, our today's hero began performing in 1993. During this period, Leonid Barats was able for the first time to feel like a popular theater actor. The audience always came with pleasure to all the performances of the group. Well-known critics also favored him.

Thus, in just a few years, the comedy project "Quartet I" has become very popular in Moscow and beyond. In the mid-nineties, the actors began to go on tour for the first time in the cities of Russia. Some time later, tours around the cities of the CIS were also added to this.

As for the creative work of Leonid Barats, in this context it is worth noting that it was he who made the most tangible contribution to the success of the team. Having written the script for the play "Radio Day", he proved himself to be a talented playwright, thereby predetermining the overall success of "Quartet I".

Quartet I - Leonid Barats about Prokhorov and elections

The named production for many years became the main hit in the repertoire of the comedy theater. Actually, it was from her that the triumphant ascent of the young team to the heights of the theater stage began. The performance “Election Day”, which became a logical continuation of the first part, also strengthened the glory of the Quartet I. Leonid Barats again became the author of the script for the new project. Other actors took part only in some adjustments to the original text.

In 2008 and 2009, a cinematic adaptation of both performances was also released. The films "Radio Day" and "Election Day" were a great success at the box office, and soon the fame of the "I Quartet" became even more global. Such Russian stars as Sergey Shnurov, Leva and Shura Bi-2, Andrey Makarevich and others took part in the films.

Subsequently, Leonid Barats starred in two more films based on the previous performances of the Quartet - What Men Talk About and What Other Men Talk About. In addition, in the 2000s, our today's hero appeared on the screen in several music videos (for songs by Svetlana Roerich, Agatha Christie, Bravo with Valery Syutkin and Combination).

Another "optional" job for a talented native of Ukraine was also the work on dubbing various American cartoons. So, in particular, Rino from the cartoon “Volt” and Darwin from the animated film “Pirates. Gang of Losers. Concluding the topic of "cartoon" creativity, we note that Leonid Barats is also the author of the script for the cartoon "Ivan Tsarevich and the Gray Wolf".

Personal life of Leonid Barats

For many years now (since 1991), our today's hero has been married to actress Anna Kasatkina, with whom he once studied at GITIS. In particular, it can be seen in three films of the Quartet I at once - in the films Radio Day, What Men Talk About and What Other Men Talk About. The happy spouses have two children - Elizabeth (born 1994) and Eva (born 2003).

In everyday life, Leonid Barats likes to play music (the actor plays the piano well), and also play football. It is also well known about his political views. In particular, our today's hero has repeatedly taken part in protests against the Putin government, and also openly criticized some bills.

Actresses who survived a divorce shared with Antenna how to remain friends with ex-husbands and whether this should be done.

Ekaterina Kuznetsova: ex-husband taught me to love

Photo personal archive of Ekaterina Kuznetsova

“My life has changed dramatically recently. We broke up with Zhenya (Evgeny Pronin, actor. - Approx. "Antennas") after eight years of relationship. Now the divorce proceedings are underway, we have not had any property issues. I let him go and wish you only the best. I know that if, God forbid, something happens to this person, I will be the first to come to the rescue. And it doesn't matter who is right in this situation, who is wrong. I don’t understand how you can delete from the life of someone with whom you lived for eight years, no matter how good or bad he did ...

Basically, I can't hold a grudge. I remember when we were married and disputes arose, she always insisted: “It’s better to say it now!” Zhenya waved it off: “Let's go to bed, the morning is wiser than the evening.” I could not go to bed with a sense of resentment and dissatisfaction. It got to the point of comedy. When I woke up in the morning and started talking, I realized that I no longer remember the essence, I was lost in the facts.

Marriage with Zhenya gave me a lot: he was both mom and dad, and brother, and matchmaker, as they say. Together we visited different countries, he showed many interesting places. He made me understand what love is, for which I am extremely grateful. Because before meeting him, she was already afraid that she was not able to love, she quickly lost interest. Relations considered secondary, more important work, institute. And Zhenya was able to break me, to prove that love exists. I revealed myself as a woman in many everyday issues, I learned to give in, to compromise. Eight years is a third of my life. And all I can say to my ex-husband: thank you for what it was.

Comfortable in a state of loneliness

“Do I regret what happened? Of course not. Probably, I am a strange person, but I simply accept any circumstances of my life. I do not ask the question: why? Apparently, this is what makes me strong. When they ask: “How did you survive it?”, I answer: “I just survived and that’s it.” She did not share or consult with anyone. A friend came to me and said: “Let's roar,” but I did not roar, because there was no need for this. There were other worries - to collect and transport things, for example.

Everything in life is for something, and only you make the choice. Either you fall into depression, which is the simplest thing, or a breath of air - and forward. In order not to mope, you need to constantly do something. I have many plans: to study French, to do ballet if possible. I dream of going to my second homeland - to England, where I spent seven years of my childhood when my father played football there (Oleg Kuznetsov, player of the USSR / CIS and Ukraine national teams, played for the Scottish Rangers team. - Approx. "Antennas"). This is my most vivid memory.

In a state of loneliness is still comfortable. There is more time for myself, to be with friends, to read, to watch movies. Found harmony. It helped a lot that almost immediately after our parting, a new job appeared, I went to Odessa to shoot the film “Anka from Moldavanka” and spent there from May to August. The best summer of my life and an amazing project! She combined business with pleasure - the sea, crustaceans, seals, atmosphere, parents came. Now I live with these memories and feelings.

I am also inspired by the new apartment that I rent in the Mosfilm area. I don't fall in love! I always dreamed that the house had a huge round window and I would put a table and chairs to it. Friends are surprised: “Why do you buy so many things? The apartment is rented. And I can't do it any other way; even if I live in it for a year or two, I should like everything that is around. It's such a thrill when you wake up in the morning, go to have breakfast at a table covered with an unusual tablecloth, drink coffee, and the sun shines in your eyes. Happiness! And also happiness when guests come, girlfriends stay with an overnight stay ...

In my heart I am open to new relationships. I can’t say that something serious is already happening, as long as it’s just acquaintances, at the level of friendship. And what happens, we'll see. I think when chemistry occurs and it is mutual, there is no point in sitting and waiting. I am for the fact that a woman sometimes takes her first steps, so that she also surprises her man. And then they developed a stereotype “You have to conquer me! We don't go anywhere." Why can't you buy tickets to the theater yourself and invite your husband? After all, all life is built on actions, and it is important for me when a man is not afraid to do them. I love such people - with a core, daring, adventurous.

I want to meet a soul mate

“On October 22, the comedy “War of the Sexes” is released, which shows the stage of survival in the eternal conflict of men and women. My heroine is an architect, and these are solid, purposeful people. Persistent, tough in certain matters, but, like all of us, she has a turning point in her life when she falls in love and suddenly becomes tender, feminine. The heroine is close to me, because sometimes I am also sharp, impudent due to my profession and life circumstances. Now I am returning to my homeland, to Kyiv, and my parents say that I have become cynical in some way. At first I was upset, but then I realized that this is inevitable, in our profession it is impossible to be white and fluffy, the way your parents want to see you. You need to fight for your place in the sun, earn a reputation on the set, so as not to sit on your head. But at home I try to turn off such emotions. The "ball" is blown away, I turn into a soft and homely girl.

My ideal idea of ​​happiness is a husband, children, parents and friends nearby. To have their own family traditions, Sunday dinners. I want to meet a like-minded man who would understand and support, somewhere, perhaps, would extinguish my temperament and emotionality. I know this is bound to happen.

People building a family should be allies so that when passion passes, there is something left to talk and argue with a person. My parents have been together for over 30 years, and I think that the secret of their harmonious relationship is in a good sense of humor. He saves when nerves fail. If the atmosphere heats up, dad starts joking, mom looks at him and cannot help smiling: “Kuzya, I hate you! ..” Sometimes, when I visit my parents, I even feel superfluous, they feel so good and harmonious together.

Mom talks a lot about family relationships, that you need to give in, not respond with aggression, never offend with a word. And I think that the kindness and diplomacy in our separation from my husband largely happened thanks to my mother. Because she correctly explained to me that it makes no sense to keep evil in yourself, you just need to let the person go, but continue to provide him with help and support. And this is my motto for the future. Although many girlfriends do not share my views, because they think: in this way, I may give unjustified hope.

“We broke up with Lesha (Aleksey Goman. - Approx.“ Antennas ”) about two years ago. Why? Now, with the experience of family life behind me, I understand that I don’t understand anything. Thin matter. But she made one conclusion. Few can love. I'm talking about love, not love. Not about fanaticism, not about devotion in the name of family, children. Love is that feeling that goes against the ego. Of course, it needs to be fed. And it must certainly come from two people. It doesn't work otherwise. We didn't succeed. Here are my parents - an example of a relationship. Together 33 years. And they love each other, strive to be together, and not run to different rooms. They have a marriage devoid of falsehood. Therefore, they reacted to our parting with great regret, but at the same time with understanding. For which many thanks.

Lesha and I have been together for 10 years. On several occasions, they faced sharp disagreements. But they managed to survive and agree. Because there was love. But the last time it didn't work. They didn’t torment each other, they let go, despite the fact that a few months before parting, our daughter was born. It is a mistake to believe that a child can save a marriage. Absurd! On the contrary, the appearance of a baby is often a test for a couple. The daughter did not cause discord, but she did not unite us either. Although she is the biggest miracle. Yes, pregnancy, childbirth, caring for a small child is a huge job. I remember well the feeling that my whole life was passing me by. But I did. And I will continue to do everything for my daughter.

When we broke up with Alexei, Sandra was not even a year old. She'll be three in December, and of course I haven't explained anything yet. She knows she has a loving dad. He, as befits a real man, did not share anything and gave his share in his daughter's jointly acquired apartment. Moreover, the separation in our case did not harm the creative union. Lesha is a talented composer and lyricist, we cooperate. When I participated in the "Voice", Lesha supported me. So they parted more than peacefully. It is important not to bring the relationship to a boiling point. Yes, it's hard to let go. But life does not end with divorce. She continues. And for some, it's just the beginning.

In summary, I will say this: allow yourself the luxury of thinking about yourself. Think about it. What exactly do you want? Not parents. Not the environment. Not the public. Go to your dream. Don't be discouraged. Be in harmony!

Agniya Ditkovskite: “The example of my mother helped”

Agnia and Alexei Chadov met in 2006 on the set of the film "Heat", where they played lovers. The on-screen relationship quickly transferred to reality, Alexei and Agnia began to live in a civil marriage. This went on for three years, after which the couple broke up. As the actress said in an interview, the reason was a different attitude towards the family: the girl was already ready for marriage, while Alexei was more interested in social life.

The divorce of the Quartet I star Leonid Barats and his wife Anna Kasatkina came as a real surprise to the artist's fans. The couple lived together for more than 20 years, but still decided to leave. Meanwhile, Leonid Barats did not remain lonely for long. Less than a year after the dissolution of the marriage, the actor was able to find a new love.

Leonid Barats and his new wife: the life of an actor with his ex-wife

Barats received the name Leonid in honor of his great-grandfather, but initially his parents wanted to call him Alexei. And he still can't come to terms with his real name. While still studying at GITIS, Alexei met his future wife, the then-novice actress Anna Kasatkina (later she starred in three of her husband's films). In 1991, Alexei and Anna registered their relationship. Together they lived for more than 20 years, but in 2015 it became known that their family had broken up.

However, the former spouses were able to maintain friendly relations, because they are connected not only by years of marriage, but also by children: 21-year-old Elizabeth and 12-year-old Eva. Girls, like their parents, are passionate about the acting profession. But what will come of it, Alexey does not undertake to judge yet.

The eldest daughter Lisa studied for 2 years at GITIS. And now she entered the acting department in London (in England, Elizabeth lives with her husband Ben). She is a beautiful, charming girl, and in the sense of acting, it’s hard to say whether she will be able to do it. And if we talk about the youngest, then she is only 12 years old. Eva is good. She sings beautifully and plays the piano. Like any girl who grew up in an acting family, she has very little chance of going any other way. After a divorce from Anna, many of Alexei's fans perked up - an enviable bachelor. But in vain the actor's heart is already taken.

Leonid Barats and his new wife: meeting Anna

Actor, member of the "Quartet I" Leonid Barats meets with Anna Moiseeva from Odessa. The couple tried not to advertise their relationship for a long time, so the journalists wondered if the actor had found a new soul mate after a divorce from his wife Anna Kasatkina a year ago.

Anna was born and raised in Odessa. Behind Anna is also a failed marriage with an Odessa businessman. By education - a psychologist. The girl is raising her son Oleg.

According to Barats, he has been maintaining relations with Moiseeva for more than two years.

“Anna and I met a very long time ago, in a common company, it seems about ten years ago. Later, they just started talking, often talking on the phone. So gradually began a platonic telephone romance. Anna is very good, smart, beautiful, feminine. We maintain relations in two cities, I am in Moscow, she is in Odessa. But it’s even easier, because at a distance we miss each other with pleasure, ”said the actor.

“I did not immediately pay attention to Leonid,” Anna shared. - And later I discovered how smart, interesting, sincere he really is. He spoke so directly and honestly about himself that at first I did not understand - was he joking or was it all true? It didn't take long for me to realize that he was looking after me. True, it took me a while to realize all my emotions. And I am grateful to Leonid for his patience, wisdom and decency.” According to Anna, it is these features that lead them and Leonid through life. “Well, my long legs, of course. Although he claims that I still have many good qualities, ”Anna jokes.

At the moment, Leonid and Anna have not yet got married.
