Family secrets Lyudmila Maksakova. Family secrets Lyudmila Maksakova beginning of a new life
Olga Sobolevskaya, RIA Novosti Observer
When Andrei Voznesensky wrote a Maksakova poem dedicated to Lyudmila, "the daughter of Pharaoh", the audience established himself in the opinion that her father, whose name was held in the family secretly, - not anyone else like Joseph Stalin. Generalissimus really appreciated the creativity of Mother Lyudmila, Maria Maksakova, the singer of the Bolshoi Theater. However, the kinship of Stalin and the famous "Vakhtangovka" is nothing more than a myth. Father Lyudmila Maksakova, September 26 celebrating the 70th anniversary, - Bariton Alexander Volkov, who emigrated to the United States and therefore was behind the parenthea's brackets.
These works Maxakova, along with the role of 1979 by the film Powder of the "Bat Mouse" of 1979, is perhaps the most famous. She could play a lot of bright roles in the movie. However, having married the German from the former Germany, Physics of Peter Ignarburg, turned out to be "non-rigging" and lost many filmmes. It happened to the absurdity: theater them. Wakhtangov, where Maksakova worked since the end of the theater school. Schukina, drove on tour to Greece ... without her, leading actress! Fortunately, justice was restored to the then Minister of Culture of Demichev: He turned on Maksakov in the tour.
Maxakov can be called an excellent face of the Wahtang theater. It is internally close to the festive grotesque attitude, that theater extravagania and the life-quality improvisational principle, which initially determined the life of the famous troupe. The founder of the theater Evgeny Vakhtangov called the scenic art "Holiday". His followers, Ruben Simonov and his son Eugene, and then Mikhail Ulyanov held the same course. The business card of the team was for a long time "Princess Turandot", which invariably opened every theatrical season. The Vakhtangov himself, delivered in 1922, was reanimated by Ruben Simonov in 1963. As Maksakova, Adelma, as well as Julia Borisova - Turandot, Vasily Lanovova - Prince Kalaf, Mikhail Ulyanov, Yuri Yakovlev and Nikolai Gritsenko (Triumvirate, embodied traditional Commedia del Arte masks), today you can judge by television in 1971. In this ironic, carnival in the spirit of the performance, the main plot accompanied the improvisation of actors, scratching jokes and draws, commented by modernity. In such a living spontaneous frame that resembled a talented cabbage, the classic played especially brightly and fresh.
Lyudmila Maksakova always managed the characteristic roles. Such was the charming-contradiction of Nadezhda Fedorovna in the film on Duel "Chekhov -" bad good man. " This psychological tape is about the confrontation of the fanatical principled background of the King and at first, a unwell laevsky revealed new verge of Talent Vladimir Vysotsky, Oleg Dalya, Anatoly Papanova. In the final of the picture, Nadezhda Fedorovna is no longer idle beauty, but a mature woman with principles. Not only the acting gift, but also deep intelligence allowed Maksakova to make this metamorphosis psychologically convincing.
Meanwhile, at the beginning of Career Lyudmila Maksakova was not confident in his professional sense. Evgeny and Ruben Simonov provided support for novice actress. In 1961, she played Laura in "Little Tragedies" Pushkin. And the next year was the Gypsy Masha in the "live corpse" of Leo Tolstoy. In 1960-1970, Maksakova has already played on the stage Olga Bookper-Chekhov, Nicole ("Tradesman in the nobility" of Moliere), Maria in the "Konarmy" Babel, Mamaev ("On all sages of pretty simplicity" Ostrovsky), Lady Anna in "Richard III "Shakespeare, Georges Sand, Duchess Malboro, Anna Karenina at Roman Viktyuk in 1983.
Her heroines are volitional and changeable, mysterious and solid, proud and loving. With a kindergarten in the view and power charm.
The life of the actor is changeable and unpredictable. This statement was reflected in the creative development of Alexander Volkov.
Childhood and youth
Family of wolves lived in the village of Snegiri near Moscow. Parents were far from creativity, especially since the movie and theater. Gennady Mikhailovich worked as a designer, engaged in the house and children. Three children, two boys and a girl grow up in the family. One of them is the famous actor Alexander Volkov.
Sasha was born twenty-first of September 1975. In the first place for the boy stood not study at school, but physical development. He visited school classes without much enthusiasm, so I dreamed faster to get a certificate and make a favorite thing. Alexander wanted to become a professional boxer. He brought up a severity, he was engaged in kickboxing. Ideal for the young man was Van Damm. But, according to the coach, it is necessary to be more cruel and aggressive for boxing.
School behind. Boxing is closed. Alexander tries himself in different professions: Carpenter, joiner, advertising agent, security guard. Understanding comes quickly enough: you need to receive higher education. So a mediocre student becomes a diligent student.
Student
The choice of son has become a complete surprise for parents. Sasha did not want to associate his life with cinema Sasha. But they respected his independence and provided him to solve such important issues of their fate.
The future actor enters the preparatory courses L. Yu. Cherkova. Her statement about the right of a person to go to the scene was in the soul. Save this right and be able to use it all my life pushed Sasha to continue learning.
The young man becomes a student of VGIK named the courses turned out to be the best option. 2001 - the year of obtaining a diploma actor and the start of professional activity. Parallel wolves study another profession - Cascadera. Physical training, boxing classes only helped learn the performance of complex tricks.
Theatrical career
Work cascade was great. But the acting activity gave more space for the development of talent. Immediately after completing the study, the actor enters the body of the N. V. Gogol theater troupe in Moscow. Here he worked for five years. The most bright performances of the steel "king amusing" and "the last lover is always better." Alexander plays in many performances, honing skill.
In 2006, the new turn in his life makes Volkov Alexander Gennadevich. The actor goes to the aerpartise theater "World of Art". Here he plays in the plays "Pomegranate bracelet" (yolks) and "Maternal heart" (Vitka).
Participation in the production of the project "Peter Peng. Online version "Gave the opportunity to play the role of captain hook. At the end of 2012, the actor begins to serve in a small theater. His debut in the role of Francis I in the possession of the play "Secrets of the Madrid Yard" revealed the new verge of his artistism. There was a new cool career fracture ahead.
Beginning of a new life
Started into wolves began with small roles. The first appearance on the screen happened in the bodyguard in 2002 (the film "The Secret Sign"). Serious work in the cinema began with the role of the paratrooper Dmitry Sokolov in 2005 ("Rope from Sand"). For the fate of the main character, not only the numerous audience of the series, but even dad and mother actor followed. Parents were convinced of the correctness of choosing the profession with their son.
But only the next role of noble Prince Repin considers Alexander Gennadyevich by his luck. The actor suffered a lot of difficulties to play the role of the aristocrat. Posture, gestures, growing and aging, together with their hero, were not easy, but it was worth it. According to the artist himself, there is nothing aristocrat in his appearance. Even natural stiffness was against him. But the role was introduced perfectly.
Popularity
This triumph was shooting in the film "Return of Mukhtar". The main character of Maxim Zharov was not like that, on the representation of Volkov, should be a hero. Too perfect. But it was precisely to bring to this image that the audience brought to this image. Playing the frame with a dog for the actor was a new test. He never had dogs. So that shepherd has listened and performed the master team, it was necessary to live with her, care for and caress her. Alexander and Mukhtar (real Dog Name Warks von Wecesrodland Kirchenthal) began friends. The actor refused to further shoot without his unchanging partner.
But the actor Alexander Volkov remained without work. Biography as it would compensate for his impossible dream: to engage in boxing. Popularity is gaining pace. There are films "Lights of the Big City", "Pechorin. Hero of our time". And the sensational series "Wedding Ring" has transferred an actor to a new step of popularity. In the role of Igor Gritsenko, the actor has the opportunity to create an image itself. Real Alexander - the full opposite of his kinherman. But there are general features, the main of which is both of the villages from the village.
Films are known from the last works "Up Tormashkami", "Believe me", "Moscow - Lopushki", "Dog Redhead".
Personal life
Creative path thorny. Very good, when there is a deep and reliable rear - the wife of Alexander Volkova. This girl attracted the actor in his youth. The Taii family in the village of Snegiri was a cottage. Family of the future wife would like a young man for higher education. Mom did not want to give her daughter to marry a person without a diploma. Understanding and support for the wife helped to complete the courses of cascade. Only there you can feel your male entity, the actor believes.
Alexander and Taisiya were married in student years. With such a wonderful wife, the actor Alexander Volkov has developed quite safely. Soon after the wedding, they had daughter Alexander Alexandrovna. Now the family will grow up two heirs - Nikolai and Georgy.
In the native village of the family of a wolves a huge house. His spacious embrace meets all numerous friends. Each is a place, warmth and love. Here you welcome guests. Here I found my refuge of Fins Roy, the son of the famous parent, who once played with the master of the Mukhtara, together with the owner.
Though free time is not so much, but I tried every minute Alexander Volkov with his family. Actor and his wife are fond of landscape design. Alpine slides, a pond with fish create a paradise corner on their native land in the Moscow region.
Loves Alexander sit with fishing rod. Philosophical refers to humanity: on earth all people can be divided into two categories - good and bad. Everything else (age, nationality, inventory) does not matter.
Chapter 2. Rosa Kaganovich.
After the death of Hope, Sergeyevna had conversations about the future wife of Stalin. Naturally, assumptions were born, rumors crawled around Moscow. In the understanding of the people, the leader could not live without a wife, his companion should have necessarily, and everyone was confident that in a year the candidacy of the bride would be announced. Versions were many, one more beautiful, but the most real challenger, among the Moscow elite and emigrants abroad was considered Rosa Kaganovich.
The myth of the third wife Stalin arose in 1932. Allegedly wanting Stalin to distract from experiences, members of the Politburo decided to acquaint him closer with Rosa Kaganovich. "She was very beautiful, and Lazar hardened that the presence of an interesting woman near the leader would remove the attacks of the persecution, which, like Ivan Grozny, began immediately after the death of his wife," Kremlin's Kremlin Student Remarks " Then they said that he marries rose. About the same episode D. Volkogonov wrote: "People from his surroundings soon (after the death of N.S. Alliluyeva.) Attempted to arrange another marriage of Stalin - with one of the relatives close to the leader of a person. It seemed that everything was decided. But, for reasons, only a widow, marriage did not take place. "
Alexander Barmin, the Soviet diplomat, who asked political asylum in France in 1937, was the first of Rose Kaganovich, who asked for political asylum in France, where in the late 1930s and after the war he wrote several books about the Soviet Union. He said that "Soon after death, we learned that Stalin married Kaganovich's sister. Until now, however, there was no word in the Soviet press about this. " Among other things, he noted that after the death of Alilleva, everyone said that Stalin was carried away by Rose in the life of hope, and that, not moved by the grace of the spouse, committed itself, and that Sister Lazar Kaganovich, a certain Rosa Kaganovich, was that a culprit.
Rosa Kaganovich became interested in Gestapo. When Yakov Zhugashvili got in captivity during the war, the Germans at interrogations persistently tried to withdraw everything about the third wife of Stalin. Yakov denied the presence of any third wife, but the Germans insisted on its existence and called her Kaganovich. "Gestapo and counterintelligence wanted people in the occupied territories. German lists have been preserved with the names of people, for the arrest of which the remuneration was made on the territory of Eastern Europe. There were biographical data, and was called a department that is interested in this person. And among them there are "Kaganovich-Stalin Roisa (Roisa), the wife of Stalin, Moscow, the Kremlin." According to the memoirs of the front-line, in the first half of 1941, the German authorities spread the leaflets, in which it was written that the Soviet Supreme Commander is an agent of international Zionism, and that not only Lazar Kaganovich affects Stalin, but also Rosa Kaganovich. The command offered for remuneration to catch a rose and deliver it to the Gestapo.
After the war, all the authors who wrote about Rose Kaganovich, refer to the book of Nikolai Bahesis "Stalin", published in 1952 the author was an economist and a journalist born in Moscow and received German citizenship, constantly lived in Moscow, rotated in circles close to Kremlin. It was he who wrote about hearing, according to which the Politburo chose a wife to Stalin at the secret meeting. The authors referred to him were not talking about hearing, but about the fact, and that as if Bahesis was personally familiar with Rosa. "In the first references on rose, it is said as a beautiful Jewish woman who is much older than Stalin. In later works, the rose is becoming younger and younger. And already in one of the late mentions turns into a schoolgirl for 16 years. "
On Rose Kaganovich wrote the book "Kremlin Wolves", published in the USA 1990, S. Kagan. This episode he highlighted, as the writer is bright, brightly, do not regret the paints: "After voluntary caring from the life of the beloved and the only wife of Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin of the Hope Sergeyevna Allerieva, the CEO of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the CPS (b) appeared a civilian wife Rosa Moiseevna Kaganovich, his native sister of Lazar Moiseevich. With huge black eyes, resten, with purple sampling hair and beautiful nose, this woman was exceptional attractiveness. Medium height, with strong legs, wide hips and a thin waist, she confessed the life principle "everything is fine, which is good for the Jews." She was 37 years old, and they met with Brother Lazarem in the house number 2 on the area of \u200b\u200bDzerzhinsky, where the brother worked at the time.
The conversation began Lazarus:
- He is now needed by such a person as you ... Need a doctor to whom he could trust. He knows you, because it will believe and believe your treatment.
Second: He needs a more stable family life. His daughters Svetlana is six years old. We must, we must arrange a family to him.
Finally, you should become a kind of anchor, a woman who will not interfere with him, will not argue with him, the woman he, in the end, will start calling and he will go to her, as in a quiet harbor ...
Rosa words brother did not listen to the heart and unconditionally perceived them to action. Entering Stalin's family, first of all, redesigned the Stalin Cottage. The lack of laundry wallpaper pasted, brought new furniture and began to organize entertainment twice a week, made techniques, inviting her friends to them, and, above all, a close girlfriend, a doctor hope Bulganin ...
The son of Lavrentia Beria, Sergo, in his book of memories about the father "My father of Lawrence Beria" wrote: "Sister or niece Kaganovich Rose ... was not the wife of Joseph Vissarionovich, but she had a child from Stalin. She herself was a very beautiful and very smart woman and, as far as I know, I liked Stalin. Their proximity and has become the immediate cause of suicide of the hope of Allyluve, Iosif Vissarionovich's wife. The child grew up in the family of Kaganovich, I knew well. Called the boy Yura. The boy really looked at the Georgian. His mother left somewhere, and he stayed in the family of Kaganovich "
L. Vasilyeva in the book "The Kremlin Wives" argued that Yuri died in 1951, and S. Krasikov assured that I saw Yuri on March 9, 1953 on the day of Stalin's funeral day. About the son of the leader, Yuri, mentioned the writer V.A. Solobukhin.
There is a legend about the relationship of Stalin and Shamil Basayeva: "The son of the leader Yuri was expelled from the house of Lazar Moiseevich in the early 1950s for theft of rabbits from the cottage in Silver Bor. Already then, Yuri began to spawn and dragged everything from home that he fell at hand. He was recruited on Golden Pecomers in Yakutia. Then in the 1960s moved to Chechnya. There came up with Chechen, educator of a kindergarten, from which they had a child. Yuri Kaganovich himself died in 1976, but his son (Stalin's grandson) became later prominent Chechen separatist. "
All these versions wandered and were heard when there were no Internet, and in order to receive a certificate of the family of Kaganovich, it was necessary to go to Lenin's library and look for. Not everyone had enough patience and time, so they believed and were confident that the third wife, Rosa Kaganovich, was. Now everything is simple, dial in the search engine - Rosa Kaganovich - and get the answer. "In the family of Kaganovich, there were four brothers and one sister. Kaganovich's sister was called Rachel, and she was 17 years old. Rachel married early, gave birth to six children and died in 1926 in Chernigov. As far as is known, she never came to Moscow. " In addition, "Kaganovich had a niece, which Rachel was also called (she was a daughter Julia Moiseevich Kaganovich, brother Lazari). The Kaganovich's niece was born in 1918, she lived in Nizhny Novgorod, married and changed the surname to Karpov, and died in 1994. "
When the sister of Lazarus Moiseevich Kaganovich died, Rachel (1926), he just started ascent to power. Hope died in 1932. Therefore, the third wife of Stalin Rachel could not. Rachel Yulievn's niece in 1932 was only 14 years old, and her, hardly, could recommend the Politburo to the wife of the leader. And even more so the leader could not be close connections with a 13-year-old rose to death of hope. The name of the Rose has become popular thanks to Rosa Luxembourg and is one of the transformations of the Jewish name Rachel, as Mikhail from Mouse, Boris from Boruha. Another popular transformation named after Rakhil - Raisa.
After the war, another version appeared, as if Stalin was married to the daughter of Kaganovich, on Maya Lazarev, (1923 g birth) and that in 1953 she walked behind his coffin, holding a girl's hand, so similar to the dictator. Maya answered this fairy tale: "First, I did not go beyond his coffin, and secondly, look at my julie - she looks like Stalin? And thirdly, this is such a nonsense! When this rumor went, I was a pioneer. We were afraid in the family, so that it did not reach Stalin. "
Chapter 3. Suite of the Bolshoi Theater.
After 1932, Widovets Stalin was not in a hurry to acquire his wife, there was no woman next to him, he lived Bobil. But the people could not imagine themselves that their almighty leader lived without women. According to the ideas of the population brought up in fairy tales, he must have a harem like any Eastern Lord. And Solva gave rise to the legend that the concubitations were the actors of the Bolshoi Theater, where he often came to performances. And oddly enough, this version did not cause any doubts even among the intelligent public, moreover she covered with spicy details. What is this version based on?
1. The leader could not live without a woman.
2. He, as the Lord, could have their countless. It was worth him only to put out his finger.
3. He was Opera and Ballet Meloman, often in the Bolshoi Theater
4. He invited artists to the Kremlin or to the cottage.
Taking foreign delegations in the Kremlin or at the cottage, Stalin loved to complete the business negotiations with the concert. According to memories of the head of the security of Vlasik: "In October 1943, Stalin took the English and American delegation. At about an hour of the morning, at the direction of Joseph Vissarionovich, he brought artists. Many raised from bed. These were Davydov, Spieller, Lemeshev, Barsova, Zlatogorova, Raykin, etc. After leaving, Stalin approached the artists and strictly said: "Comrade Davydov, you called with the aliens with your trendy clothes (it was some kind of belt with a bouquet below navel). The spiker is also an interesting woman, but she is dressed as it is supposed to be a Soviet woman. ""
Among the ballerinas, to which Stalin was not indifferent and whose showed the awards, the audience highlighted Marina Semenov and Olga Lepheshinskaya, from the singers talked about Valeria Barsoy, Natalia Spieller. Maria Maksakova. But first of all, Solva tied him with faith of Davydova. She had a nickname "Tsar Baba" for her amazing voice of mezzo-soprano and for rare beauty.
The version of the secret link of Stalin with the faith of Davydova LiteCly treated Leonard Genndlin. His book "Confession of Stalin's mistress" was first published in London in 1983. In Russian, she appeared in 1994 in St. Petersburg called "Over the Kremlin Wall". And then, under the name "Confession of Stalin's mistress" was published in 1996 in Minsk and reissued in Moscow in 1997. The book was written as if from the face of the singer of Faith Davydova, which, as written in annotations to the book, in the 1930s - 1940- x year "was in intimate intimacy with the Great Chief."
The singer shares with the reader intimate, secret, with his experiences and fears, tells about his love romance, adventures and the hopeless positions in which she fell, being between the communist leaders' going for her body. In the preface to the book, the author on behalf of Davydova writes: "I am an actress! And, perhaps, in all over white light, an incredulous Stalin believed to the end ... For many years I led a double life, which I had to share between theater - rehearsals, performances, concerts - and his passionate, sometimes hysteriously stormy caresses. I'm talking about it, because I want to find out the other Stalin - nude after my death.
On the first visit of Davydova to Stalin, the author spoke with details, which no woman would mention even in confession from the priest. In accordance with the narration of Faith Alexandrovna, after the play in his pocket, a note in his pocket: "A car will be expected about the playman. The chauffeur will deliver you to the place. Save a note. " The singer proceeded to the appointed place, realizing what would happen. She was married, her husband loved, but was forced to obey the instructions. She was taken to the country of Stalin. "After a strong hot coffee, the delicious hell has become quite good. Fear and confusion disappeared. I went for him. It turned out that I.V. Rising below me. We entered the room where there was a big low couch. Stalin asked permission to remove Frenc. On the shoulders, he threw the eastern robe, sat down near, asked: "Can I put out the light? In the dark it is easier to talk. " Without waiting for an answer, he redeemed the light. I.V. I hugged me, skillfully unbuttoned a blouse. My heart fluttered. "Comrade Stalin! Joseph Vissarionovich, relatively, I don't need, I'm afraid! Let me go home! .. "He did not pay any attention to my pathetic, only in the dark, the bright flames began his animal eyes. I once again tried to break out, but everything was in vain. " Stalin was then 54, Davydova - 28. Their connection lasted 19 years. Three-bedroom apartment, titles and rewards were awarded as a magic wand. Yes, because the wand is really a magical. "
"Confession" instantly became a world bestseller. The book is represented by the author as an artistic novel, the accuracy of the outlined events in which is not required. Heroes of the book can wear the names of historical personalities, but their actions in the novel do not have to correspond to reality. It is artistic fiction, and historians cannot submit any claims to the author.
Lina Tarkhova in the book "The Kremlin hostage" led the opinion of the grandson of Stalin, Alexander Bourdonovsky, about the "confession": "I can't say anything about this. I saw Davydov in a documentary television film. She has that type, I know it from Allyluve, who Stalin liked: a strict smooth hairstyle, black skirts, bright blouses. " G. Krasnaya in the collection "Secrets of the Kremlin Women" The book "Confession" perceived as a fantasy: "I think so everything is from the sphere of assumptions and fantasies,"
The writer and lawyer A. Vaxberg noticed: "Stalin himself, as is known, was not ascetic, but never posted it and was distinguished by a certain moderation that gave him moral right to demand the same from others." According to Larisa Vasilyeva, Vera Davydov never was the mistress of Stalin. The leader really did her offer, but she refused, referring to his marriage with Medlidze.
Vera Davydov itself categorically denied her proximity to the leader. Yes, and about the very existence of the book, she found out by chance. This episode described in detail her granddaughter Olga: "When the grandmother learned the content in detail, she became bad. It turned out that the composition of the genondinn, which he issued for the allegedly dashed memories of Davydova, in the 70s it turned out in Europe, almost instantly became a bestseller throughout the world, and was translated into several languages. Moreover, in Hollywood, on this book was about to shoot the film. First of all, the grandmother demanded to translate a book for her into Russian. First, the text was read and decided not to show my grandmother. But she was not the same man to not achieve her. As a result, the attack happened to her. And I think her departure from life was the consequence of this book. She did not hurt anything. "
The granddaughter of Faith Davydova clarified: "Grandmother herself said that she had more than once with Stalin. But every time it happened during government receptions, to which she was invited as a leading soloist of the Bolshoi Theater. The grandmother was already married to Melidze, and therefore he knew Georgian and could answer Stalin in his native language, which, of course, really liked. Stalin often came to her performances in a large theater. But, as far as I know, the personal meeting of the grandmother and the leader took place only once. Davydov was taken to the near Dacha Stalin right after the performance. At home, we, of course, no one slept on this night. Waiting for what will come back - and whether grandmother will return home. She arrived in the morning and told the following. She was brought to the cottage and immediately spent in Stalin's office. He stood, turning face to the window. Without a nipper, just in a shirt. When the grandmother crossed the threshold, Stalin turned to her with words: "I have already been a lot of years. And you are the only person with whom I would like to spend my last years. Are you not against? " What grandmother replied that she was married and for the sake of Stalin ready for everything, even rush under the tank, but not for what he asks her about. After that, Stalin asked how Davydova could help. And she replied that he asked to assign the title of folk artist her teacher. Stalin went to the table, recorded a grandmother in the calendar. And gave an order to take her home. On this, according to her, everything ended. " In the people, the conversations about the mistresses of Stalin did not cease, even some stubbornly assured that the son of Vera Davydova, Ramaz, - Son Stalin.
All the titles and rewards of Vera Davydova achieved his extraordinary voice, his musical abilities and daily, many hours of labor
In 1920, during the Japanese occupation of the Far East, the entire Davydov family had to flee to Blagoveshchensk. Faith here continued learning, she already sang well, played on the piano and was familiar with the theory of music. The singer of Akhmatov arrived in Blagoveshchensk, who organized an amateur team, where the Faith first began to sing Opera Parties. It was noticed by professional opera singers who were advised on tour, which recommended her to continue learning singing. In 1924, she entered the Leningrad Conservatory. At the reception exams, Professor A.K. Glazunov was struck by the beauty and power of the voice of the applicant and approvingly responded to its execution. From the first year of the Conservatory, Vera Alexandrovna was immediately transferred to the third and began to participate in the operation of the opera studio at the conservatory. Here she met a talented student, bass from Georgia, Dmitry Semenovich Mchidlidze, for whom married. Together they finished the conservatory, after execution in 1929, the party of Carmen in the studio, she was invited to the Mariinsky Theater. The debut of faith was the party of the group of Urban in the opera "Huguenotes", and soon after that she was performed by the Amneris Party in Aida and Martha in Hovhanchin. Three years of work in the Mariinsky Theater were marked by many creative successes of the singer. About her spoke as a new young talent. In 1932, V. A. Davydova was invited to a large theater, she made his debut in the Opera "Aida". Her husband was invited to a large theater in 1933. Over the years of work in the Bolshoi Theater, Vera Alexandrovna sang more than twenty parties. Her voice was called Divine, velvet, unique. His owner for many years decorated the scene of the Bolshoi Theater, and her name stood on the billowieli margins of the names, Titans of the Russian Vocal School: Sobinov and Nezhdanova, Derzhovskaya and Obukhovaya, Lemeshesev and Kozlovsky, Khanaev and Ozersov, Barsoy and Stepanova, Raisen and Mikhailov, brothers Pirogov and spiker. She has repeatedly played with great success abroad: in Finland (1937), in Norway, Denmark and Sweden (1946), in Hungary (1948), in Iran. Everywhere faith Alexandrovna Davydov took enthusiasm. During performances in Norway in 1946, composer Klaus Egge wrote: "Singing Davydova is a magnificent musical evening. Form, sound, outline and interpretation - all this singer connected in such a perfect unity, that every song received her finish. In everything you feel a big culture and style. "
Her colleagues on stage, who were also enrolled in Stalin's mistress, became folk artists of the USSR, but Davydov did not receive this top title, she was awarded the title of People's Artist of the RSFSR. Perhaps, for refusing to become a companion Stalin Davydov, they were drawn out of the lists on the title of folk artists of the USSR. So shouted her offended leader of peoples.
With her husband, Dmitry Mchidlidze, she lived a long and happy life, 54 years old. Relatives, familiar always admired this loving, helping each other couple. In 1952, Dmitry was invited to the Georgian Opera and Ballet Theater, in which he became the director, and a soloist, and director. Vera Alexandrovna went after him, and performed with her husband on the stage of the Georgian theater. Dmitry Mchidlidze died in 1983, Vera Davydov survived her husband for ten years.
In the "harem" of Stalin, according to Molle, except Davydova, folk artists of the USSR were: singers V.V. Barsova, Maria Maksakova, N.D. Spieller, ballerina O.V. Lepeshinskaya. And the daughter of Maria Maksakova, Lyudmila, was called the daughter of Stalin.
Maria Maksakova at the age of 17 was enrolled in the troupe of the Astrakhan Opera Theater. In 1920, the famous baritone, entrepreneur, Austrian Maximilian Karlovich Schwartz, who took his pseudonym Maksakov, arrived there. Mary was 18, and he was 50 years old when they got married. After 3 years, Maria Maksakova made his debut on the stage of the Bolshoi Theater in Opera "Aida". Success was grand. S. Lemeshev, who heard the debutant, recalled that he was amazed by the purity of her voice, which flew freely and easily. The next 14 years she was the lead voice of this scene. In 1936, her husband died. While touring in Warsaw, Maria Petrovna met with the Soviet Ambassador Yakov Zavtyan (Davydov). But their joint life was short. Six months later, he was shot. The daughter of the singer, Lyudmila, subsequently told: "My mother's husband (he was an ambassador in Poland) took the night and took away. She never saw him anymore. And so it was for many. After they planted and shot her husband, she lived under a lamoclovy sword, because it was the Court Theater Stalin. How could a singer with such a biography? Her and ballerina Marina Semenov wanted to send a link. But here the war began, Mom went to Astrakhan, and it was as if forgotten. " In 1940, Lyudmila was born. She was the Bariton of the Bolshoi Theater Alexander Volkov, after two years I emigrated to America. Taking care of the future life of the daughter, she entered her middle name - Vasilyevna in her metric. When the Second World War began, Maksakov went to Astrakhan, and then moved to Kuibyshev, where the actors of the theater were evacuated. In 1953, Maria Petrovna Theater sent a retirement. "Mom all life worked as insane. At first in the theater, later engaged in active concert activities. She traveled with speeches all of Russia, "Lyudmila recalled. When Vera Davydova tried to defend his name and prove that she was not associated with Stalin, Maria Maksakova was trying to help her, in this her.
About the novel by the Secretary General with the opera queen Valery Vladimirovna Barsoy (Vladimirova) there is no data. But still it is also classified as a host of "concubines". The rationale is elementary, - in 1947 she went to Sochi, where on the Black Sea shore began to build a cottage, which was called "Valery". Naturally, according to "knowledgeable" people, such a cottage could be built only by order and support of the Supreme Commander. 40 years after the death of the singer, it was discovered that she had a lot of jewels. So, in one of the commissions of Sochi, it was offered her ring with sapphire in the framing of diamonds. And again, such expensive gifts could only give comrade Stalin. Not dense, but the Great Singer, the People's Artist of the SSSR, "who had a light moving beautiful voice - soprano, filigree vocal technique, dirty dirty. At the stage of the Bolshoi Theater, she spoke until 1948, and from 1952 he became a professor at the Moscow Conservatory.
It got from evil languages \u200b\u200band ballerina Olga Lepеshinskaya. She was also included in the harem, and she, according to their stories, delayed the leader not only with his dances in his Boudaore, but also in bed. Judging by her success on stage, these great pinkertons concluded that Stalin was crazy about her. But all those who have come so "brilliant" ideas would be quite good at least read her biography. And even these compressed data would make them doubt the role of Geisha.
Olga was so unusual and expressive in dancing that she was taken to the Bolshoy Theater immediately after graduation in 1933 at 17 years. Three years later, she at the premiere of a new production of the "Sleeping Beauty" danced Princess Auror. Her speech was encountered by ovation. It was triumph. Lepeshinskaya became the Bolshoi Theater Prima Ballerina. She married. Her first husband was a film director and Writer "Lenfilm" Ilya Zakharovich Trauberg. She divorced him in 1941, shortly before the start of the war. With sparkling technique, the filigree accuracy of movements, living temperament, she successfully danced Kitrie's party in Don Kiheote, Aurora in Sleeping Beauty, Odeta and Odilah in the Swan Lake. Lapereshkaya received his first order at 21 years. Together with Galina Ulanova, she became the first ballerina awarded the high title of folk artist of the USSR.
In October 1941, the Bolshoi Theater ballet troupe was evacuated in Kuibyshev. A front-line concert brigade was drawn up, as part of which Olga Vasilyevna was actively involved. The brigade spoke with concerts in hospitals, on the front, in liberated, destroyed cities. On December 5, 1943, the premiere of the ballet "Scarlet Sails" was held in Kuibyshev, according to Alexander Green. The batch of Assol Virtuoso performed Lepeshinskaya.
Olga Lepeshinskaya four times was the laureate of Stalinist awards, among her awards - the Order of Lenin, the October Revolution, the Labor Red Banner, "For merits to the Fatherland" of the III degree.
Replying to the questions of the Estonian publication Postimees, why the ballet was so popular in the country, and the troupe of the Bolshoi Theater reached such heights and world glory, Lpereshinsky straightly stated: "Because Stalin came to the big theater. When he had free time, he always came, sat down in his lie, and we knew that Stalin in the theater. Many young, well-dressed men appeared behind the scenes. Stalin loved the ballet "Flame of Paris" very much, which was holy for us. He often came only on one act, in which Tuileries took place. Stalin did a lot for the Bolshoi Theater, with it the theater turned into a single whole. First-class musicians appeared, and the orchestra itself became the same workshop as ballet and opera. "
In the 1930s, her aunt and two nieces were arrested. In the early 1950s, her second husband was arrested - Lieutenant General MGB L.F. Reikhmana, and her himself caused Beria on Lubyanka. She was excluded from the party and all public organizations. Reichman after liberation to his wife did not return. With the third husband - the General of the Army A.I. Antonov she met in 1956, and in the same year they signed. Antonov died in 1962. They lived together six happy years. The death of her husband, Alexey Antonova, was for her such a strong shock that she lost sight. In 1963, the government sent Olga Vasilyevna for treatment in Italy. She was restored to her, but for a long time she needed a constant observation of doctors.
In these short biographies of our great actresses are not located for the leader. In addition to the awards, visits to the theater, gifts should have remained some traces of joint leisure. If the leader was waiting, then the one for which the choice fell, became the queen. And it would be known about this - any of the protection or from close comrades could be accidentally changed. It is difficult to imagine that the leader could see only women on call, for one night. Why force these great deaths under the fear of death to go to bed when there were millions of people who wanted girls, women who dreamed of at least touching him, to the Great? Many, many would consider for great happiness to stay alone with him. Some young Donuan could teach his vanity and bring great actipers into the list of beauties conquered by him, but it was not worth the lord for the Lord. They did not do it happy, and he.
It should be understood that the opera singing and ballet is a hard work. It is daily, many hours of exercises, rehearsals, performances, concerts, tour. Life on wheels. Due to the lack of free time, these artists have not seen family life, collapsed. And if he really became interested in one of them, would he not free her from these classes and would not make him constantly be near him? Does the lord of the Lord agreed to divide the bed with her beloved with someone else, even with her husband? Did Georgians, would not be jealous of her to thousands of fans who were standing at the door and showered with her flowers and expensive gifts? And those spent nights on tour, conducted unknown where and with whom, did not cause a storm of emotions from Georgian? The proposal that he made faith Davydova was not only a change in the status and moving to the Kremlin, but also the cessation of all scenic activities, reducing the circle of relatives to a minimum and the recovery under the constant undesirable approach of security. She understood it very well, and refused. She was, firstly, the singer, secondly, his wife's beloved husband, and to be a canary in a golden cage and to settle the owner, did not want.
And a very important moment, which misses these lovers of waxing cranberries - Stalin's health. Following the legend of concubines in the plural, Stalin was a sex giant. In fact, it should be remembered that after the death of hope he turned 54 years old, and he could not boast of health, he often sick. But the most important thing he was manicly suspicious. Academician, Professor, Doctor of Historical Sciences Kumanev G.A. In his book "Next to Stalin: Frank testimonies" led the statement of Mikoyan: "Remember," Anastas Ivanovich said during one conversation, "Stalin at the end of the 30s - this is a completely changed person: to the limit suspicious, ruthless and terribly self-confident. He often spoke about himself in the third person. In my opinion, then he just slept. However, such Stalin again appeared before us and in the last three or four years before his death. " His fears applied not only for medicines, doctors, cooks, their enemies and loved ones. A woman who came on the orders should have caused him a lot of phobias, since the possibility to infect sexual disease, to be strangled to fear, while remaining alone with her.
He was a physically undeveloped man. Since childhood, he was painful. He was about two years old when he was seriously ill and was in death. His mother, Kek, with difficulty and prayers he went out, two of his older brother in infancy died. At the age of five, Joseph suffered an OSPU. A year later, he fell under Faeton, it was very hard, he was again at death, survived, only the muscles of the left hand began to atrophy, the hand began to slowly dying and moved barely. Since then, he became the leader, he did not do physical work, his muscles on his left hand were slowly silent, and she, remaining slightly in a bent position, looked like a whip. He understood that the stars caused by the Bolshoi Theater, they would not voluntarily go to him, unlike those who trade in the body for money, and therefore their hatred can achieve such a heat that she will be able to kill him in the rustling of resistance. But God forbid, if the enemies learn him, that such that happens in his Kremlin, they will be able to make her terrorist act. In the presence of such a huge number of phobias for any contacts with unknown, untested women, even if they are supervisant, he would never have decided. He was merciless to everyone and seemed to be almighty, and in fact after the fifty physically he was a sick and sick man.
He needed his woman to be always near, under the supervision of the guard, so that she met His tired, and the patient laid into bed to be caring, like a mother, gentle and loving in bed, like a wife, and attending from pain better than any doctor So that she was to him predicted and loyalty to him kept his own days. And the beauties do not have to force him to dance in Boudoire, they will better perform on stage along with the troupe and the orchestra, and they will not even need to force them, they will rehearse and train daily by their goodwill. And from this, their speeches will be given to him greater pleasure, and he will thank them, present gifts, and they will try even more.
Family - like a tree. The deeper the roots, the stronger they keep, it is almost impossible to snatch such a tree. Every time it becomes interesting to each normal person, who were his ancestors, because the roots of the family are a pedigree.
From the older generation in the family, unfortunately, no one left, but it was preserved a rather large archive. To deal with the documents and start searching Ludmila Vasilyevna helped the continuer of the opera dynasty Maria Maksakova - the daughter of the actress, who inherited from his grandmother not only the name, but also a wonderful voice.
Search for its roots Lyudmila Vasilyevna began with the maternal line. Most of the family archive are photos of Maria Petrovna, the gallery of its stage images. The People's Artist of the USSR possessed a great dramatic talent and bright temperament, her velvet voice loved to listen to the "leader of the people" Joseph Stalin and called her "My Carmen".
Grandma with grandfather lived in Astrakhan and wore Sidorovy's surname. Maksakov - the scenic pseudonym of the opera singer Maximilian Schwartz, Mom's first husband, Lyudmila, whom the actress never saw, because he was born after his death.
Before going to Astrakhan, Mom's hometown, Lyudmila appealed to the specialists of the Genealogy Center and submitted a request to the archive of the Astrakhan region. Once in the city itself, the actress finds out that her grandfather is from Saratov. Most likely, it was on merchant affairs that he was in Astrakhan, where he met his future spouse. Employees of the archive managed to find a unique document - the Passport of the great-grandfather Lyudmila Maksakova.
As for the main issue, which the actress was asked, starting drawing up their pedigree, then according to the main version, which she adhered to and earlier, her father was Alexander Volkov, a wonderful singer. According to eyewitnesses, some relations between Alexander and Maria existed, but did not advertise properly, so I did not receive an unambiguous answer. The actress decided to go to the Museum of the Bolshoi Theater, so that at least a little one to open the mysterious curtain of the history of his family. The museum survived stage costumes and some personal things Mary Petrovna, among whom was the portrait of Maximilian Schwartz, but it was not possible to find out the details that indicate an acquaintance with Alexander Volkov.
Is it possible to ride through the century on the "Time Machine" - our famous singer thought about it:
- Family rarities Andrei Makarevich ..
