Notes

An excerpt characterizing Yarmolnik, Oksana Pavlovna

– Where are you? Stop here! - voices whispered to Lazarev, who did not know where to go. Lazarev stopped, glancing fearfully at the colonel, and his face twitched, as happens with soldiers called to the front.
Napoleon slightly turned his head back and pulled back his small plump hand, as if wanting to take something. The faces of his retinue, guessing at the same moment what was the matter, fussed, whispered, passing something to one another, and the page, the same one whom Rostov had seen yesterday at Boris, ran forward and respectfully leaned over the outstretched hand and did not make her wait for a single moment. one second, put an order on a red ribbon into it. Napoleon, without looking, squeezed two fingers. The Order found itself between them. Napoleon approached Lazarev, who, rolling his eyes, stubbornly continued to look only at his sovereign, and looked back at Emperor Alexander, showing by this that what he was doing now, he was doing for his ally. Small white hand with the order touched the button of the soldier Lazarev. It was as if Napoleon knew that in order for this soldier to be happy, rewarded and distinguished from everyone else in the world forever, it was only necessary that Napoleon’s hand deign to touch the soldier’s chest. Napoleon only put the cross on Lazarev's chest and, letting go of his hand, turned to Alexander, as if he knew that the cross should stick to Lazarev's chest. The cross really stuck.
Helpful Russian and French hands, instantly picking up the cross, attached it to the uniform. Lazarev looked gloomily at the little man with white hands, who did something to him, and continuing to hold him motionless on guard, again began to look directly into Alexander's eyes, as if he was asking Alexander whether he was still to stand, or whether they would order him walk now, or maybe do something else? But nothing was ordered to him, and he remained in this motionless state for quite some time.
The sovereigns sat on horseback and left. The Preobrazhenians, upsetting their ranks, mingled with the French guards and sat down at the tables prepared for them.
Lazarev was sitting in a place of honor; he was embraced, congratulated and shook hands by Russian and French officers. Crowds of officers and people came up just to look at Lazarev. The buzz of Russian French and laughter stood in the square around the tables. Two officers with flushed faces, cheerful and happy, walked past Rostov.
- What, brother, treats? Everything is in silver,” said one. Have you seen Lazarev?
- Saw.
- Tomorrow, they say, the Preobrazhensky people will treat them.
- No, Lazarev is so lucky! 10 francs for life pension.
- That's the hat, guys! shouted the Preobrazhensky, putting on a Frenchman's shaggy hat.
- A miracle, how good, lovely!
Did you hear the feedback? said the Guards officer to another. The third day was Napoleon, France, bravoure; [Napoleon, France, courage;] yesterday Alexandre, Russie, grandeur; [Alexander, Russia, greatness;] one day our sovereign gives a review, and the other day Napoleon. Tomorrow the sovereign will send George to the bravest of the French guards. It's impossible! Should answer the same.
Boris and his comrade Zhilinsky also came to see the Preobrazhensky banquet. Returning back, Boris noticed Rostov, who was standing at the corner of the house.
- Rostov! hello; we didn’t see each other,” he told him, and could not help asking him what had happened to him: Rostov’s face was so strangely gloomy and upset.
“Nothing, nothing,” answered Rostov.
– Will you come?
- Yes, I will.
Rostov stood at the corner for a long time, looking at the feasters from afar. A painful work was going on in his mind, which he could not bring to the end. Terrible doubts arose in my heart. Then he remembered Denisov with his changed expression, with his humility, and the whole hospital with those torn off arms and legs, with this dirt and disease. It seemed to him so vividly that he now felt this hospital smell of a dead body that he looked around to understand where this smell could come from. Then he remembered this self-satisfied Bonaparte with his white pen, who was now the emperor, whom the emperor Alexander loves and respects. What are the severed arms, legs, murdered people for? Then he remembered the awarded Lazarev and Denisov, punished and unforgiven. He found himself thinking such strange thoughts that he was afraid of them.
The smell of Preobrazhensky food and hunger brought him out of this state: he had to eat something before leaving. He went to the hotel he had seen in the morning. In the hotel, he found so many people, officers, who, like him, arrived in civilian clothes, that he hardly managed to get dinner. Two officers from the same division as him joined him. The conversation naturally turned to the world. Officers, comrades of Rostov, like most of armies, were dissatisfied with the peace concluded after Friedland. They said that if they could hold on, Napoleon would have disappeared, that he had no crackers or charges in his troops. Nicholas ate in silence and mostly drank. He drank one or two bottles of wine. The inner work that arose in him, not being resolved, still tormented him. He was afraid to indulge in his thoughts and could not get behind them. Suddenly, at the words of one of the officers that it was insulting to look at the French, Rostov began to shout with fervor, which was not justified in any way, and therefore greatly surprised the officers.

When Vysotsky came to his senses after the first clinical death, his first words were: “I love you!” He addressed them not to his wife Marina Vlady, but to a thin, fair-haired girl sitting in the ward - Oksana Afanasyeva, for twenty-two years younger than Vladimir Semenovich.

Eighteen-year-old Oksana Afanasyeva from birth revolved in the circles of Moscow bohemia. She never bought tickets for performances, she always went by invitation, to best places. She often went backstage. So that day, during the intermission, she ran into the Taganka theater administrator to make an urgent phone call.

Vladimir Vysotsky and Oksana Afanasyeva-biography: first acquaintance

The device was busy: a short, stocky man with half-long hair was standing with his back to her and was explaining something to someone, clearly not intending to end the conversation. Frustrated Oksana did not recognize his low voice, with a characteristic hoarseness. She shifted nervously from foot to foot, but in response to her displeased look, the administrator, Uncle Yasha, only shrugged his shoulders.

Excuse me, can I call? - the girl asked very unkindly, tapping her finger on the talker's broad shoulder.

The man turned around sharply, stopped in mid-sentence and silently hung up the phone - for some reason past the device. It was Vladimir Vysotsky himself, the star of the Taganka Theater, the idol of millions of women. Soviet Union. There was a long pause in the air, worthy of a theater stage. Uncle Yasha tried to fill it in:

Ksyushenka, get acquainted, this is our Volodya. Vladimir Vysotsky. Volodya, this is our Ksyusha...

Where are you after the performance? Vysotsky asked sharply.

D-d-home... - Oksana stammered.

Find me, I'll give you a ride! he shouted, hiding behind the door.

Oksana did not remember the second act of the play. She waited impatiently for the curtain to fall. Applause, flowers, encore. The queue to the door of the hall, the queue to the wardrobe, the queue to the exit. She slowly shifted her legs, all the time looking around, as if looking for someone. There were familiar faces in the crowd, but not all of them.

Ksyusha, where are you? I'm waiting for you! Oksana shuddered. From the green Zhiguli, a young Taganka actor waved to her. The girl already wanted to get into the car, but suddenly noticed that the 280th Mercedes parked nearby winked her headlights. This is his car! Everyone knew: in the USSR there were only two such cars - Vysotsky and Brezhnev. Following his companion's gaze, Smekhov understood everything: where would his "Zhiguli" against the "Mercedes"!

Happy, Oksana got into Vysotsky's car. No greasy hints, hands on the knee, invitations to the hotel. The actor drove the girl home and, asking for a phone number, left. Oksana was even a little disappointed. The next day, when Vysotsky called and invited her on a date, she even thought: to go, not to go? Best friend brought her to her senses: “What are you?! All the women of the Soviet Union just dream of being in your place! It sounded convincing.

Vladimir Vysotsky and Oksana Afanasyeva: First night

It was fantastic, the best date of her life. Vysotsky invited her home, treated her to wine, overseas delicacies and his own cooked liver. Oksana, like hundreds of other women, fell under his spell. She melted from his gaze, gentle hands, warm words. The girl herself decided to "continue the banquet."

At nearly nineteen, she was mature beyond her years, independent, and intelligent. I understood that Vysotsky was married, and all this was nothing more than a fleeting romance. I decided for myself: let it last three days, a week, she will still be with this person, because he is not like everyone else.

Fate measured their romance not for a week, but for two whole years. Their feelings turned out to be more than an affair - it seems that it was a huge, mutual, real love- With capital letter. But their feelings were destined for a sad ending. They both soon realized this, but were no longer able to change something ...

After the first fabulous night came a prosaic gray morning. Vysotsky came out of the bathroom, carefully rubbing himself with a towel, and whistled in surprise:

You are the first woman to make her bed!

Oksana sat on the edge of the ottoman and hemmed his signature jeans. In response to a look full of bewilderment, she said:

Well, I'm a student of the Textile Institute!

Vysotsky was obsessed with expensive clothes, which he brought with suitcases from abroad. He often arranged a "day of distribution of banknotes to the population", on which he distributed money and branded items to acquaintances. But jeans, personally hemmed by Oksana, never gave anyone.

Vladimir Vysotsky and Oksana Afanasyeva: High feelings

Oksana learned how gentle, caring and cheerful Vysotsky can be. The day after the date, Afanasyeva broke up with her fiancé, deciding that one day with someone like Volodya was better than all her life with mediocrity. "I fell in love. But I realized that I could not demand anything. My life is my life, my love is my problem,” Oksana will tell her friend. What could she do? Vysotsky had lawful wife.

However, if his wife were a homemade klucker who cooked borscht for him and waited from the performances with a hot dinner, Oksana would not have dared to have an affair with him. But his wife Marina Vladi was domineering, selfish, obsessed with own career a woman who always disappeared on tour for thousands of kilometers. This can compete, it's not a pity.

Thanks to Oksana, for the first time in his life, Vysotsky experienced a real feeling, unlike anything he had experienced before. It wasn't love, it wasn't passion, it wasn't using another person for your own comfort. It was boundless tenderness, a feeling of truly native person near and the desire to take care of him. He immediately took Oksana under his wing, put her above drunken parties, which terribly annoyed his comrades, who literally hated Afanasyev.

Vysotsky delved into all her student problems, got scarce goods for his beloved, whether it was an imported TV or an iron, brought fashionable shoes and haute couture items from abroad. Thanks to him, Oksana quickly became very famous in the bohemian circles of Moscow. She walked around packed in the most expensive clothes, and her friends introduced her to new acquaintances like this: “This is Oksana, she has eighteen pairs of shoes!”

Afanasyeva went everywhere with him: to concerts, to shootings. I literally breathed it and did not see anyone else around. Vysotsky himself was very worried about the future of his beloved. He wanted to divorce Marina Vladi and marry this beautiful, extraordinary, understanding girl. No, not just get married, even more - get married! But, of course, Vladi did not give him a divorce. And then Vysotsky came up with an idea: they would be married without a stamp in their passport. He even bought gold rings. After a long search, Vysotsky nevertheless found a priest who agreed to sin for their sake. great love. But they didn't get married...

Main enemies

In addition to cloudless happiness, there were other days in the life of lovers. Oksana endured Vysotsky's binges, poured hidden bottles of vodka into the toilet, searched for the missing Volodya in the apartments of his friends, dragged the lifeless body on her fragile shoulders. She knew from childhood what alcoholism is, what a destructive force it has on a person, on his family.

Oksana's father Afanasiev-Sevastyanov was a well-known Moscow writer, a representative of the moderately drinking creative intelligentsia, or, more simply, an alcoholic. He brought her mother to the grave, and immediately after graduating from the French special school, Oksana left the family and began to live alone. Now she struggled to pull her loved one out of the abyss of alcoholism. She did not know that alcohol was not her only enemy: Vysotsky had long been addicted to drugs.

Oksana deliberately doomed herself to being only the mistress of the great bard. They never got married

Last New Year in his life, Vysotsky met in the company of friends at a dacha near Moscow. In the early January morning I was going to Moscow - the drugs ran out again. He got behind the wheel of his Mercedes himself and had an accident - at a speed of 200 km / h he flew into a ditch. Two of his fellow travelers were badly injured, and not a scratch on the driver. Fabulous luck!

Then, in January, on his birthday, celebrating his 42nd birthday, Vladimir vowed to Oksana to pull herself together and seriously engage in treatment. But, alas, it's too late! There was no way back.

On July 25, 1980, Vladimir threw his mother, as if in passing: “Mom, I will die today!” In the evening, Vysotsky's friend and doctor Anatoly Fedotov gave him an injection of sleeping pills and lay down next to him on the couch. While the doctor was dozing, Vladimir Semenovich died of cardiac arrest.

The day when Vysotsky died became the blackest in Oksana's life. The official widow is Marina Vladi, everyone expresses condolences to her. “I think it would be indecent if you go to the funeral,” Volodya's father told her. And she didn't go. Oksana silently and alone experienced her heavy loss. She did not even go to their common apartment - she did not take a single thing presented to them. Just asked to bring wedding rings lying in a nightstand. But for some reason they mysteriously disappeared from there ...

Oksana Afanasyeva left the institute, she wanted to leave the country forever: she did not let the KGB, who from their first night with Vysotsky relentlessly followed her. Many years later, the woman married Leonid Yarmolnik, with whom, ironically, Vladimir Semenovich once introduced her.

Leonid Yarmolnik could not calm down for a long time broken heart. The adventurous nature of the actor was able to take over, and he decided on a rash step: he married Elena Koneva, a friend from a common company. Someone believes that this was done for the sake of a Moscow residence permit, but Yarmolnik himself claims that this act was done in the heat of the moment in order to once and for all forget the once beloved Zoya. Fate laughed at him this time too: literally a month after the wedding, he met his real fate.

Leonid and his Oksana

Oksana Afanasyeva from the age of 18 was passionate about the theater. Not a single premiere took place without her. That is how she met Vladimir Vysotsky. It was in an attempt to get closer to the theater stage that she began working as a costume designer. Unfortunately, already at the age of 20, a young girl sent Vysotsky to last way. They say that it was she who was there during the most difficult period in his life. Oksana and Vladimir were relatively close a short time, but from this sad event she could not recover whole year. The girl met Yarmolnik in a circle of friends, on May holidays. “The very next day after that May Day gathering, I moved in with Ksyusha. I had a chic car - a Zhiguli, I brought it home on it and ... I just stayed there, as they say, settled forever, ”Leonid recalled the “outset” of their relationship.

Two weddings: quiet and noisy

They signed when Oksana was already in her seventh month of pregnancy. The wedding was quiet, in a close family circle. In the early 90s, they had to divorce "on paper" in order to solve the housing problem with the housing of the actor's parents. But when daughter Alexandra turned 15, it was decided to celebrate everything for real: with noisy festivities, dresses, guests and other attributes of a classic holiday.

Little family world

Periodically, the "yellow press" tries to convict Leonid Isaakovich Yarmolnik in a new novel, but all these accusations are not confirmed in real world. The family tries to ignore them. Daughter Alexander is also the owner of a creative streak. She became an artist creating extraordinary stained glass windows. Leonid and Oksana have long been grandfather and grandmother, who doted on their grandson Peter. They are increasingly avoiding high-profile companies. Leonid Yarmolnik is still in demand as an actor and even discovered a producer's vein in himself. It remains only to wish years love and understanding of this wonderful couple!

Leonid and Oksana Yarmolnik.

Leonid Yarmolnik and Oksana Afanasyeva have been together for 35 years. Two characters, two solid personalities, two leaders did not find each other immediately. Meeting with Oksana turned Leonid from a fickle conqueror female hearts into a model family man. She was last love great Vladimir Vysotsky. Yarmolnik became her husband, friend, lover and father of their only daughter.

Oksana Afanasyeva: life before Leonid

Oksana Afanasyeva.

She had a difficult childhood, this strong girl. She was only six years old when her mother died. Oksana remembers very well her childhood and the pain of the loss she experienced. The little girl stayed with her father, a fairly popular writer at that time. Companies often gathered in the house, where alcohol flowed like a river. She studied at the most prestigious French school, and at home she saw her father every day drunk, who, in a state of intoxication, was often aggressive. And he was still trying to find the perfect stepmother for his daughter, not realizing that his early grown-up Oksana did not need any replacements for her beloved mother.

After school, the girl entered the textile institute, choosing for herself the profession of a costume designer. At some point, she made a cardinal decision to exchange the apartment she shared with her father and start her independent adult life.

Oksana Afanasyeva and Vladimir Vysotsky.

She often visited the theater, trying not to miss the premiere. And one day in the administrator's theater on Taganka, fate brought her together with Vladimir Vysotsky. It is her, Oksana Afanasiev, who will be called the last love of the great bard. For his sake, she will leave her fiancé, and live with Vysotsky for two bright years. the last two years of his life. Jn loved her, he idolized her and died when she was around. Then she was only 20 years old. And two years after his death, fate gave her a second chance to love and become loved.

Leonid Yarmolnik: life before Oksana

Leonid Yarmolnik in his youth

Leonid was born in Primorsky Krai into a military family. He did not show much zeal for studies, but he played the accordion virtuoso, graduated from a music school. In high school, he became interested in literature, and then the theater. After school he entered the Shchukin school.

While working at the Taganka Theater, he began acting in films. It was about the movie that the actor dreamed of. But this world did not accept him immediately. In fact, Yarmolnik's debut took place only in 1974, in the film "Your Rights". He was remembered by the audience in the role of Theophilus in the film "The Same Munchausen", and also on numerous humorous television programs. A little later, he will play many bright roles in the cinema that the audience will love.

Leonid Yarmolnik - "The same Munchausen".

In the theater, he had excellent work in a wonderful acting environment. Even during his lifetime, Vladimir Semenovich Vysotsky gave him some of his roles.

Young Yarmolnik could rightly be called a womanizer and heartthrob. The first love happened to him at the age of 15, however, the girl was older than him and was very condescending to the feelings of the young admirer. The actor's romance with Zoya Pylnova lasted for seven years. Then there was the first official marriage with Elena Valk. He actually had a lot of women. He seemed to be looking for his soul mate. And he found her in 1982.

Fateful meeting

Leonid and Oksana.

They met at a party with mutual friends. Oksana was already in the company when Leonid Yarmolnik arrived with Alexander Abdulov. And Leonid almost immediately realized that he was gone. He immediately began to look after a charming girl with a sad look. He joked, he was all courtesy. After the party, he went to see her off. And a day later he lived with Oksana.

Leonid Yarmolnik with his daughter.

Leonid realized that he had finally met his perfect woman. And that he simply has no right to lose her. Many dissuaded him from relations with Oksana. But it was absolutely impossible to convince Yarmolnik. He loved and was loved. He had enough intelligence and tact not to ask Oksana about her past with Vladimir Vysotsky and, moreover, not to be jealous of him. In 1983, Oksana and Leonid had a daughter, Alexander.

Boring marriage

Perfect family.

They both don't like to talk about love. They achieved the main thing in their family - harmony. The once loving Yarmolnik became an exemplary family man. He dearly loves his straightforward Ksenia. He always speaks of her with undisguised tenderness and respect. He also became a very caring father and a completely crazy grandfather for his grandson, little Petya.

Leonid Yarmolnik with his grandson Petya.

Oksana herself admits that only such a person as Leonid Yarmolnik could become her husband. They do not make their lives public, preferring to solve all problems within the family. They had a period of a long showdown, when they were on the verge of a divorce. Oksana even wanted to leave. But looking at the situation from the outside, I realized: she has no right to deprive her daughter of such a wonderful father. He has no right to ruin the happiness of his daughter Alexandra, who loves dad immensely. Leonid also decided to moderate his emotionality in order to save his beloved wife and daughter. They had the strength to start life with clean slate and have never regretted it. Although once Oksana and Leonid nevertheless divorced, but only in order to solve the housing problem. But the second marriage in 1998 was then celebrated very widely.

Leonid and Oksana Yarmolnik.

In the Yarmolnik family driving force and the motor is, of course, Oksana. But she has enough female wisdom to turn everything in such a way that Leonid considers her every idea to be his own. In her own words, the highest female talent is to make a man feel absolutely free.

They have their own recipe for happiness in the family.

Perhaps they are happy because each managed to preserve his own personality in marriage, without dissolving into his beloved. Each of them is busy doing what they love. Leonid says that his wife understands his profession much better than he does in what his wife does. Oksana is a fairly well-known costume designer in the capital, successful designer. She also owns her own studio, where she sews her author's soft toys.

Leonid Yarmolnik and Oksana Afanasyeva: a boring marriage that turned a womanizer into an exemplary family man.

They never tried to prove who was the boss in the family. They just go together hand in hand. When Oksana fell ill, her husband admitted that he would have endured his own pain more easily. This seems to be true love.

What is more important for Oksana Yarmolnik - to be an artist or to be a wife?

Everything is important, - says the heroine of the program. - Because if I were one wife, I would not have lived for 32 years with Lenya. When a woman sits at home - of course, not only a woman, any person, then he turns a little into a vegetable. He is degrading. Although all men dream - how wonderful it would be if the wife would sit at home, fulfill any desire of her husband ...

Oksana has always been independent. At the age of 18, she exchanged an apartment with her father, deciding to live alone. Why was her father in constant search of the ideal stepmother for his daughter (Oksana lost her mother at the age of six)? What relationship does Oksana have with last wife father? And how does she generally choose people to communicate with?

I immediately understand the person, and I don’t communicate with a large number of people, - admitted the guest to Kira Proshutinskaya. - My incredible privilege is that no one has ever chosen me for communication, I have been choosing all my life ...

It should be noted that Oksana Pavlovna on the set of the program proved to be a very self-critical person, talking about her complex character and admitting to "absolute bitchiness". Not every woman is capable of such recognition!

We also talked about what is the talent of a woman.

The talent of a woman lies in the fact that a man thinks that he is free as the wind, says Oksana Yarmolnik. - In fact, he is a real "slave of the lamp." To inspire, deceive him or create conditions under which he thinks so - this, probably, is the talent to be a woman ...

And, of course (and you're already waiting, right?) There was a talk about the love of Oksana and Vladimir Vysotsky. But Kira Proshutinskaya led him so delicately, and Yarmolnik answered so worthily ... Bravo to the interlocutors!

I never hid it, - after thinking for a few seconds, Oksana says, - but I never carried it ahead of me. It was and it was. That is how my destiny was. I am incredibly happy that Volodya was in my life. it incredible miracle. Of course, this connection made me who I am. And if there were no Volodya in my life, then there would be no Lyonya. This is such a chain of some patterns and accidents that were not accidental ...

How did Leonid Yarmolnik appear in Oksana's life? And with what "dowry" did the future husband move to her?

He moved to me with an alarm clock, with a dog, - the heroine of the program recalls. - I ask him: "And why the dog?". "I love dogs," he says. Me: "Okay, but the dog will have to be given away." They gave away the dog. Brought an alarm clock. I say "Is that all?" - "Yes all". Well, we live together. Nobody asked any questions. We did not analyze anything, life itself put everything in its place ...

Doesn't friendship diminish love? Why is Oksana fighting with her husband? Why do they still have violent showdowns, and at the same time Oksana believes that their family is very good? How once Oksana almost left Leonid, and what kept her?

Lenya and I had a period in our lives when we almost got divorced. I was leaving. And, of course, only Sasha, my daughter, kept me from this idiotic, insane act. I thought that I have no right to decide her fate for Sasha, I have no right to deprive her of the best father in the world, whom she adores. I cannot deprive my daughter Lenya, who adores Sasha. I have no right to destroy their life because of my whims, because of my mood, some feminine things that are internal, because of whims ...

Does Leonid like the fact that his wife - strong man? Can a woman make a man the way she wants to see him? What does money mean for Oksana? Why does she believe that man is not the crown of creation, but a mistake of creation? What is more important - to choose the right profession or to choose the right husband? These are the difficult questions discussed by two independent, smart, beautiful, successful women- Kira Proshutinskaya and Oksana Yarmolnik - on the set of the program "Wife. Love Story".

And at the end of the recording, the presenter asked the guest what Yarmolnik was like during the illness of his wife - the one who had to postpone the filming of the program?

Lyonya told me this thing: "When you are sick, I am sick more than you." And so did I... And if, God forbid, something happens to Lenya...

At the same time, Oksana was able to hold back her tears. But is it necessary to say something else about love after that?
