“Suffering purifies the soul”: The dramatic fate of Nina Doroshina. Love and repentance of nina doroshina "Love and doves": a success story

Nina was born in the town of Losinoostrovsky near Moscow in the mid-30s, in a working-class family. Her dad was a fur appraiser at one of the factories, and at the beginning of what seemed cloudless 1941, he was sent on a long business trip to Iran. I didn’t have to part with my family for a long time: the plant went forward and provided for the relocation of both my wife and my seven-year-old daughter.

The terrible news of the attack on the USSR was already met by Doroshins, having settled down in the Middle East. It was my father's business trip that saved the family from the horrors of war. They returned home after graduation. In almost six years of living in a distant country, the impressionable girl was truly imbued with Arab culture and learned the Persian language.

Returning to the USSR, her parents sent Nina to a women's school, and already there the girl became addicted to the drama club. She often had to play male roles - after all, there were no boys at school, but the desire to accurately convey an unusual image quickly discovered the acting talent of a growing girl.

In high school, she grew out of school amateur performances and found a real theater studio under the guidance of the actress of the Chamber Theater Maria Lvovskaya. It was the teacher who insisted that Nina, after graduating from school, go to enter the theater.

She went to Pike without difficulty, got on the same course with Alexander Shirvindt and Lev Borisov, and after school she was hired by the Sovremennik troupe. Another lucky ticket: when the young actress just came to the theater, the main character of one of the performances fell ill and the director immediately replaced her with a new one.

Star


A Man Is Born (1956)

Having made a brilliant debut, Nina remained playing in Sovremennik, devoting almost six decades to it. She played a lot of main roles - from village simpletons to queens in costumed historical performances, and always gave her heroines the bright temperament of a femme fatale.

Film directors also noticed a talented actress early - she made her film debut while still a student. The role in the "Son" went unnoticed, but in the "First Echelon" she played brightly.

On the set, love came to the young actress. Then Nina fell in love with the charming Oleg Efremov. He reciprocated. The novel was bright and temperamental, which happens in the acting environment. But the loving chosen one soon turned his attention to a new rising star - Anastasia Vertinskaya ...

Doroshina truly grieved, shed tears and could not forgive her lover, cursed the insidious homeowner and could not find a place for herself. Oleg Dal undertook to console the actress who was experiencing a personal drama.

Their fast-paced romance did not last long. Soon the blue-eyed actor, the dream of all the women of the USSR, got down on one knee in front of the charming actress and proposed to her. Without hesitation, in retaliation to Efremov, Nina agreed.

Dal


They Met on the Road (1957)

Doroshina recalls how young, beautiful and still quite naive Oleg Dal fell in love with the actress of Sovremennik, seven years older than him! He courted very beautifully and knew very well that Nina loved Efremov, but sincerely believed that he could win her love.

But something happened at the wedding that broke the heart of the actor forever. We walked around with all the Sovremennik, Efremov also came. According to one version, he took the bride with him and did not let go for a long time. Dal was looking for his beloved until he realized that one of the guests was also missing. Suspecting Nina of treason, after the wedding he did not come home for two days, and after a couple of weeks he broke up with his beloved, remembering for the rest of his life how insidious women can be.

According to the other version, everything was different. Efremov, in front of the groom, put Doroshina on his knees and said to the whole room: “But you still love me.” Only at that moment did Dahl realize that the opponent was right, he went into a binge for two weeks, after which the couple went straight to the registry office to get divorced.

In any case, Doroshina was able to talk, get through, negotiate with Dahl and maintained friendly relations with him. They played in the same theater for a long time.

Today, the actress repents: she says that she wanted, as in a folk saying, to knock out a wedge with a wedge, but she could not forget Efremov - love for him remained in her heart for life, and Dalia offended.

Doroshina admits that until the end of her days she had guilt before the person who loved her, but you can’t command her heart. In vain she agreed to tie herself up in marriage, acted dishonestly and does not wish such a final relationship to anyone.

20 years


First echelon (1955)

Another passion happened to Nina Mikhailovna with screenwriter Alexander Volodin, and then she got tired of the suffering and vivid emotions that relationships with creative people are always full of.

During her search for Nina, one of the employees of Sovremennik, who worked in the production part of the theater, began to look after Nina. Unknown, but charming and talented in his field, the man won the heart of a bright actress.

They met for a while, and then he proposed to his Ninochka. And she agreed, this time after weighing everything and thinking it over.

Doroshina lived with her second husband for twenty years. However, for the sake of the stage, she refused offspring. Today, the actress says she has no regrets.

Despite the fact that she did not have children, she is surrounded by the care of the younger generation, because back in the 80s, a professional and talented dramatic actress was offered to become a teacher in her native Pike, which she herself graduated from.

Happy


For family reasons (1977)

And a little later, her husband passed away, whose death she experienced very hard. Nina Mikhailovna could not fully cope with the loss - some time after the funeral, she ended up in the hospital with a heart attack. That operation affected her health. The heart can still fail.

Today, the actress is called the living legend of Sovremennik, in which she still plays the main roles, but she decided to leave the cinema herself, even in her youth. The exception was the very movie "Love and Doves", which could be the beginning of a triumphant return. But Nina is a convinced theatrical actress who does not want to spend precious time on the stage on the set.

She plays and teaches. She is happy and fully realized.

Amazing actress. She never hid her age, did not do plastic surgery, did not sit on diets and did not starve herself, and, to be completely honest, she was never a beauty even in her youth. But go to Sovremennik on “Hares. love story" and look how Doroshina plays love: young actresses - model beauties - never dreamed of such a thing! She even outplays Gaft, he seems to get tired of competing with her and somehow fades by the end of the performance. But Doroshina doesn’t care, she almost stands on her head, spins like a squirrel, sits down on a twine - as if there weren’t and couldn’t be any 75! She plays not just love - but love that did not take place, which, as it were, touched her shoulder - and passed by. And with it - and the whole life is derailed.

And she was like that in her life. Almost so. The pretty plump woman played one of the first roles in the famous film "The First Trolley Bus", in which many future stars of "Sovremennik" appeared. And Oleg Dal played his first role there. And it was then that he fell in love with Nina. However, Nina did not notice him, she dreamed of the stage, of big roles in the cinema - she had no time for love. And in general - she always had a lot of suitors, because there was some kind of delicacy in her, some kind of mysterious female attractiveness, now they would say - sexuality, although Nina Mikhailovna herself laughed for a long time when they once said this word next to her name .

I really wanted to talk to her about love. But she does not like to give interviews, does not want to talk about herself, while her husband was alive, she did not allow herself to remember other men at all. Her tangled relationship with two Olegs - Dahlem and Efremov- haunted journalists for a long time, overgrown with rumors and ridiculous details. Only once did Nina Mikhailovna open the veil of her personal life ...

Oleg Efremov liked women. He had numerous novels and a lot of fans - this is now no secret to anyone. Nina Doroshina was also the lady of his heart, but unlike the windy Oleg, she fell in love with him seriously and for a long time. They often quarreled, parted and united, Nina cried, swore that she would never look in his direction again ... And then rehearsals began again, Oleg shone on stage and in the director's chair, and vows, of course, were forgotten. Once they had a fierce quarrel on tour somewhere in the Crimea. Nina drank a couple of glasses of wine with her friends and ran to the sea - she decided to swim, they say that the drunken sea is knee-deep. She swam not very far, but it was dark, she got scared, not seeing the shore, screamed, choked on salt water - and even more scared ...

Meanwhile, a company of guys from the same theater was relaxing on the beach. They also drank a little, and hearing the girl's cries, they decided: whoever saves her will marry her. And here's the fate: Nina was saved by none other than Oleg Dal, and he was stunned when he recognized her on the shore. And he was delighted - he always dreamed of marrying her. Dahl walked the exhausted girl to the room, and so he stayed with her. And in the morning, as an honest man, he suggested that she immediately go to the registry office. Nina's soul yearned for revenge, and she agreed.

They got married, and the whole Sovremennik walked at their wedding. Efremov nervously smoked in the kitchen, and, of course, drank too much ... Then he approached the bride and directly asked: “Why did you marry him if you love me?” And with a gesture of the owner, he put the stunned bride on his knees. There was a terrible scandal, Dal threatened to commit suicide, Nina rushed between her two men, but love still won, a divorce followed immediately ...

He and Efremov converged and diverged. Sometimes they lived together, sometimes they didn’t talk for weeks. Efremov got married, started novels, fell seriously in love a couple of times. But in the intervals between all these events, he returned to Doroshina. Until she finally decisively put a stop to it and got married. For a good and reliable person with whom she lived his whole life (her husband was ill for a long time and died a few years ago).

Oleg Nikolaevich was also ill for a long time and was seriously ill. There were no longer any of his beloved women or ex-wives around him. Only daughter Nastya and son Mikhail. Anastasia Olegovna later said: “Father didn’t get up anymore, he spoke very little. Literally before leaving, he took my hand and said: “Call Nina ...” But the Sovremennik Theater was on tour, and Nina Mikhailovna said goodbye to her lover only at the funeral ...

Maybe that's why she still manages to play love, because she herself went through her purgatory ...

Films

The first films with the participation of Nina Doroshina appeared on the screen in 1955, when the aspiring actress was still a student at the university.

But, oddly enough, after this success, the actress appears only once on the set of the tragicomedy “Do you not like our government ?!” and returns to the theatre. In Sovremennik they joked that the actress was even able to play a phone book, and Doroshina's performance on stage looked very convincing. Partners of Nina Mikhailovna have repeatedly said in an interview that they frankly do not understand - either she really feels bad on stage and needs to call an ambulance, or is she herself suffering so realistically from her role. Such feedback from colleagues in the theater workshop is a confirmation of the professionalism of Nina Doroshina.

Personal life

The first husband of Nina Doroshina was an actor whom the woman met on the set of the melodrama The First Trolleybus. The man was 7 years younger than Nina, but this did not interfere with future relationships.

On April 21, 2018, People's Artist Nina Doroshina died. She played a large number of roles in the theater and only a few roles in the cinema, and her most famous work was the role of Nadyukha in the film Love and Doves. She had thousands of fans, she won the hearts of Oleg Efremov and Oleg Dal, but in her declining years she remained alone. Despite the trials that she had to endure, Doroshina never complained about her fate, because she believed that suffering purifies the soul.





She so convincingly played a village resident that many did not believe that in fact Nina Doroshina was a "metropolitan thing." She was born in 1934 in the suburbs of Moscow, graduated from the Theater School. Schukina and worked all her life at the Sovremennik Theater. And her childhood passed ... in Iran! Her father was sent there on a long-term business trip at the beginning of 1941, and until the end of the war he and his family remained there.





Back in her school years, Nina began attending a theater group, where teachers drew attention to her acting abilities and advised her to continue her education in this area. Her film debut took place while still studying at the Shchukin School - then she played in Mikhail Kalatozov's melodrama The First Echelon. A year later, she got into the studio theater at Mosfilm and starred in several more films: Crazy Day, A Man Is Born, Unique Spring and People on the Bridge.





In 1959, the actress came to the Sovremennik Theater to Oleg Efremov and since then has appeared on this stage all her life. She was connected with Efremov not only by working relations - everyone knew about their stormy romance. Doroshina confessed: “ He had a strong influence on me as a person. He was also a great stage partner. It has a lot in it...". Efremov left her, carried away by another actress, and Doroshina, to spite him, married Oleg Dal, who was in love with her. They say that Efremov came to their wedding and, in front of everyone, put the bride on his knees with the words: “ But you still love me!". Dahl then drank for two weeks, and then filed for divorce. And with Efremov, the actress managed to maintain good relations for many years.





In the mid 1980s. Nina Doroshina finally made her choice between theater and cinema, practically ceasing to act in films. But once in the play "Love and Doves" film director Vladimir Menshov saw her, and the actress impressed him so much that he decided to create a film version of the play. So, thanks to Nina Doroshina, the famous masterpiece was born.





Today this film is called a classic of Soviet cinema, and in those days the criticism was merciless: Menshov was accused of untrue portrayal of peasant life. The press wrote: The picture produces a feeling of some kind of uncleanliness of rural life and leaves a feeling of overkill and bad taste. Here Menshov was changed by a sense of simple taste. Debauchery at the moment is a disaster for the people, and not at all funny behavior. Gurchenko is the most unlikely in this picture. What she says about psychics is incomprehensible to the viewer and does not fit into the picture.».





After the release of the film "Love and Doves" Nina Doroshina became a real star. Everyone expected that after such a resounding success, she would continue her film career, but the actress returned to the theater again and did not go to the set again. What she was offered seemed primitive and superficial. Doroshina explains her decision as follows: “ They offer a lot, but so far nothing has touched my soul. I will only accept a really interesting job, because I believe that I already have the right to choose».



And in adulthood, Nina Doroshina went on stage and taught acting classes at the Shchukin School. Today she is called a living legend of Sovremennik. The last years have become very difficult for her: in 2004, her second husband died, with whom she lived for 20 years, the actress herself was hospitalized with a heart attack, after which she underwent a major operation.



In her declining years, Nina Doroshina was left completely alone - she had no children, fans began to forget about her. But she never complained about her fate: No wonder they say that suffering cleanses the soul. While I was in intensive care for a month, I reviewed my whole life ... There, in the hospital, I still realized that a person is not abandoned in grief, but vice versa. All the patients and nurses tried to bring me something tasty, supported me, spoke encouraging words. After the hospital, my main motto is to enjoy life and bring joy to loved ones.».

Recently, Nina Doroshina complained about her heart. A month ago, she went to the doctors complaining of pain in the chest area. The day before, she again had to call an ambulance, but the actress refused hospitalization. On April 21, the actress died.



Oleg Efremov became for the actress one of the closest and dearest people for life, although everyone unanimously spoke about his difficult character:.
