On November 12, 2017, Lyudmila Gurchenko would have turned 82. The actress's life was suddenly cut short in March 2011. The celebrity felt unwell and fainted. Doctors who arrived at the home of the legendary actress were unable to resuscitate her. Lyudmila Markovna's husband Sergei Senin shared his memories of her on the air of Boris Korchevnikov's program "The Fate of a Man".

Lyudmila Gurchenko had a difficult relationship with her daughter Maria Koroleva. After the death of the actress, Senin also could not find a common language with her heiress. Some time ago, relatives of Lyudmila Markovna shared her apartment in Trekhprudny lane, but in the end Senin and Koroleva still managed to overcome the contradictions that arose between them. The place where the star lived, Senin turned into a museum of her memory.

Boris Korchevnikov asked Lyudmila Gurchenko's husband to comment on information about her feud with the heiress. Sergei Senin denied public speculation. The spouse of the star believes that Lyudmila Markovna could be annoyed by the spiteful critics who deliberately "distorted" her relationship with a loved one.

“This is such a figure of speech - I was in conflict with my daughter. The fact is that Lucy and Masha did not conflict, it cannot be called ... What is a conflict? I see the kitchen and people are standing, furious and excited. Just at one time Masha stopped communicating with her mother. So much has been said about this already. (…) Throughout this story, I had the feeling that she was a guided person. Maybe she was well manipulated by not very well-mannered, subtle and intelligent people. They brought this situation to what happened. There is not Masha, there are other people, ”said Senin.

The man refused to give the specific names of those who quarreled Gurchenko with his daughter. “They don't deserve it,” he said. Senin is now on good terms with the Queen.

“We closed all the questions in the way that I suggested at the very beginning. I came to the conclusion that Masha is a very gentle and kind person, ”said the man.

Recall that the first meeting between Senin and Gurchenko took place in 1990. Lyudmila Markovna played in the film "Sekkazka", which was produced in a company founded by Sergei and his friend. Then the future husband of the star was not free. After the divorce, his ex-wife Galina called Senin and offered to conduct a tour of Gurchenko in Israel. Sergei was delighted, because he had a reason to talk with the artist.

Then the paths of the future spouses went their separate ways. The reason for the resumption of communication was the idea of ​​the film, which came to Senin's mind. He again contacted Lyudmila Markovna. She agreed without much hesitation. After some time, colleagues in the workshop began to live together, and after a few years they registered a relationship.

Sergei Senin on the eve of Lyudmila Markovna's 80th birthday told "Gordon Boulevard" about why he turned an apartment in the center of Moscow into a museum, and he himself decided to wander around the rented. And also - how he blessed Yulia Peresild for the role of Gurchenko in the biopic, how he divided the property with the actress's daughter Masha, about cars, expensive jewelry, Lyudmila Markovna's love for gay men and why Irina Bilyk refused to participate in the anniversary concert.

- Sergei Mikhailovich, in November Lyudmila Markovna would have turned 80 years old. How do you celebrate your own birthday?

I do not know yet. I wouldn't want it to turn into food and drink. There are many options: from very modest to serious and large-scale ... Probably, we will gather our closest friends and sit down. I would like the music to be played this evening, Lyusin's songs. There was a thought and an exhibition in Moscow, but so far it has not been possible. Today everything depends on finances, and these are unrealistic amounts.

I know that a month before your birthday you are arranging a big anniversary concert dedicated to Lyudmila Markovna in the Kremlin Palace in Moscow. In this regard, due to the tense political situation in Kiev, a big scandal has recently erupted related to Iryna Bilyk, who is on your list of invited artists. Will Irina take part in this concert?

Ira and I are very familiar, I really invited her. I really wanted her to perform the romance "The dews fell on the mows" from the film "Roman and Francesca". She liked the idea, but, as I understand it, there were some problems. I really don't know which ones, I only heard rumors that she would not be able to participate. It is a pity that the times have come when politics interferes in everything. I so wanted this concert to have some Ukrainian piece, because Lyudmila Markovna had a lot to do with Ukraine.

- Are you interested in what is happening now?

Well, of course! Some kind of desperate and tragic situation. I myself am an Odessa citizen, but I cannot come to Odessa - not because I am afraid. The mood is gone. I am not looking for the guilty and the right. In such situations, everyone is always to blame. And here it is impossible to say who is more, who is less. We must believe that this will pass and everything will work out. But what is happening is unreal. I remember the first time Lyusya and I went together in 1993 to Kharkov, she burst into tears at the border when she was asked to fill out a customs declaration. How is it - she is going to her homeland, and then something like that ... She had tears in her eyes. I can imagine what would happen to her now if she saw that her two beloved countries are in such a terrible situation ...

The creative things that I have planned to carry out, distract me from sad thoughts. We have been doing this concert for six months now, and I feel Lucy's presence: her songs, her voice ... In fact, she is the director and author of this evening

I would like to ask you more about the upcoming concert. What is being prepared in general? It is not easy to financially pull such a large project without sponsors ...

All these creative things, which I have now decided to carry out, distract me from sad thoughts. We have been doing this concert for six months now, and I feel Lucy's presence: her songs, her voice ... In fact, she is the director and author of this evening. I didn't invent anything - I just sat down, thought, remembered how it was with her ... I knew her concerts well, she didn't have random songs, everything was built from the first word to the final note. I was guided by this principle even now, realizing that she would have done this number like this. Perhaps somewhere I am mistaken, but on the whole I am sure that I was exactly following her prompts.

Nobody helped us financially, there is a partner who supported and proposed the idea of ​​this project. These are our common friends and comrades-in-arms with Lyusya. I wrote the script, invited a good director and choreographer. The main thing that guided me was that I wanted to sing songs that Lyudmila Markovna herself composed, and those that are associated with her, but she is not their author, such as "Carnival Night".

The overwhelming majority of the artists I invited worked with her on stage, in the cinema. These are those to whom she treated with great respect and warmth, or, like Zemfira, with undisguised delight. But the evening will not turn into "Song of the Year" when the artists took the stage, sang and fled. There is a dramatic basis. Despite the fact that this is a concert in memory of Luce, she will be present on stage and in the hall. The host will be Maxim Averin, and Lucy will become his co-host. Everything is built in such a way that they will complement each other. A very good actress (until I open all the cards), she will not be made up like Lucy, but will play her in those places that seemed very important to us, where we did not find the necessary material and through this actress restored how it could be, be here herself Lucy. In general, it should turn out interesting, if only there is enough time to implement everything the way we want.

Lyudmila Markovna charged everyone with her irrepressible energy.


- Was the choice of songs by the artists unexpected for you?

Yes, it was not easy. When inviting artists, I understood that many of them would agree to perform, but it was important for me to offer them the number that would be combined, in my opinion, with them, but, unfortunately, this was not always the case. As a result, we faced such a problem: Lucy had a large repertoire built for her, a huge acting component, and where it seemed to us that this song would be performed by this or that performer, it suddenly turned out that the artists themselves said that they could not to do ... But we discussed everything in a friendly way, came up with it. These will be new interpretations with new arrangements. Before that, no one had sung Lyusina's songs like that. For example, Zemfira will not re-sing anything - she will sing her hit "Do you want?" it happened by itself.

Was it such that one of the artists asked for a fee for participation? As they say, friendship is friendship, but you always want to eat ...

No, otherwise this concert would not have been possible at all. Everyone was very respectful, with understanding, no talk about fees even came close.

The things that we have in our house have been studied by specialists from the Stroganov Academy. This involved about forty people. A collective doctoral or candidate's dissertation has already been written there. I think Lucy would have been amazed to learn about this

They say that you want to open a memorial museum in the apartment where you lived with Lyudmila Markovna for many years. How do you imagine this idea in reality?

I don’t want to call it a museum, a museum is something frozen. It will be a workshop museum. The whole apartment is allocated for this, because of this I was forced to rent a house for myself, because if you do this, it is unrealistic to live there. So now I live outside the city - there is fresh air, and the dogs are happy.

This case is interesting to me, otherwise everything would lie like a dead weight and be quietly eaten by moths. Lucy left a colossal man-made legacy: costumes, accessories, jewelry, handbags, belts. There are more than 800 costumes alone. Moscow has already hosted exhibitions that lasted for about a year, in the Sheremetev Palace in St. Petersburg, recently an exhibition was held in Rostov. This happens all the time, and not because I am trying to organize it: the museums themselves turn to me.

So many things - and how to store it? Restoring is a whole business. Therefore, such an idea was born - to open a museum. Five years have passed since Lucy died, but still we find some incredible things that even I could not notice, and now people who understand this are discovering some deep meaning of these things. Therefore, I and my new friends, and among them - scientists, professors, academicians, felt that there is an interest in this. If these things die, it will be a pity. Today, nobody makes such dresses that Lucy herself made and invented.

- And how quickly did you decide to go through all her things?

In the first months after she left, I was in a state of complete dullness. And suddenly I got a call from a Moscow gallery and museum, and this is how it all began. The head of the wardrobe department came to my house and dry-cleaned every thing, each now has its own wardrobe trunk, everything is numbered, hanging on hangers. Everything in the house has been photographed and studied. Specialists from the Stroganov Academy worked from different areas: some were engaged in finishing suits, others - attributes and accessories, and still others - Gzhel and ceramics. This involved about forty people. A collective doctoral or candidate's dissertation has already been written there. I think Lucy would have been amazed to learn about this.

I myself began to figure it out. And so you look - the chanterelle and the chanterelle are hanging, but it turns out that there is no price for it - not in the sense that it costs a lot of money: there is already a historical value there. History - it also goes away. We also want to make an exhibition of black and white photographs, there are hundreds of thousands of them. For twenty years I could not go over and now I continue, but not alone, thank God.

- Does this mean that your living space will become a museum on a permanent basis?

No, the museum in the apartment is still out of necessity, because renting a room is fabulous money, but I am a stubborn and stubborn person, so my friends and I are promoting this, but for now everything will be in the apartment. Why a workshop museum? Professionals and non-professionals will come here, people who want to learn something. For example, good masters will show some kind of accessory that Lyudmila Markovna had and tell you how to make with your own hands what is of value today. And then life will show whether it will take place or not. But I really hope that everything will work out. Over time, perhaps, the city authorities will show an interest in creating a room where a full-fledged gallery could be made.

The entrance will be free, because it is designed primarily for those who are really interested. There are already those who are ready to help, everything needs to be maintained and restored. We can say that these will be donations "from their own".

From October 1 to October 15, an exhibition of dolls and angels, which Lyudmila Markovna has collected all her life, will be held in Moscow.

More than twenty production centers approached me to make a film about Luce. I saw serials about Tolkunova, Pugacheva, I generally keep quiet about Zykina. And I understood that if I behave categorically, it will end the same. So I met everyone

- Your whole life still revolves around Lyudmila Markovna. What are you doing for a living now?

I gave three years to the theater of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan, now I work as an assistant to the artistic director of the theater. E. Vakhtangov Rimas Tuminas. This work is different, but it is also very difficult and takes a lot of time. Rimas is an old friend of mine with whom we have gone through a lot in work and in life. And I'm happy to be working with him. This theater is number one today. There are many interesting things. True, this work is tearing me to pieces in connection with the upcoming concert and exhibition, but all people are sympathetic to my position, so I think everything will be all right.

Lately, many biopics have been filmed about our contemporaries. I know that director Sergei Aldonin recently started shooting the 16-episode film "Lyusya Gurchenko". Have you asked permission?

A year and a half or two ago, I received an endless stream of calls from various film companies and production centers that wanted to make a film about Lyusya. More than twenty have applied in total. I understood that this is a very delicate topic and that one cannot simply say no over the phone. We are witnesses of how unscrupulous people act: they take history, change one letter in their last name, two in their first name and do whatever they want. I saw this in the TV series about Valya Tolkunova, about Pugacheva, about Zykina, I generally keep quiet. And I understood that if I behave categorically, it will end the same. Therefore, I chose a different tactic: I decided that I needed to know everything from the inside, so I met with everyone and asked two questions: who plays Lyudmila Markovna and who plays her father. Because without Lyusya's pope Mark Gavrilovich it is impossible to create any story about Luce. There was an incredible connection between them, and without him her whole life would be incomprehensible. In the end, what I heard from the directors who came, terrified me, but I did not show the view. Sometimes I managed to disappear, someone still had to abruptly refuse, some even began to scare me, they said, if you refuse, we will do like everyone else: change the surnames - and the story about Luce will turn out, but you legally cannot show us no claims.

Seryozha Aldonin (Lucy knew him; a good theater director, by the way) came to the meeting with a young producer. Both their eyes are burning, and I realized that they want to do a big, important thing. They named good artists: Lyudmila Markovna will be played by Yulia Peresild, whom I like as an actress, Nikolai Dobrynin as a father, the type is well chosen, and Nadya Mikhalkova as Lucy's mother in her youth. Decent company.

But I had a condition that the basis of the film should be the book "My Adult Childhood". This is war, Kharkov, the corpses that Lucy saw. It was at that time that such a phenomenon as Lyudmila Markovna Gurchenko was born.

In general, the guys took it seriously and after a while they sent the script. I did not like him. We met again, discussed everything, and they took a time-out for six months. Aldonin rewrote the script himself. The second version was already good, serious work. In any case, I hope that the film will not be based on the yellow press. Moreover, we agreed that the period they will talk about will begin with her birth and end in 1983 - 1985. Then perestroika began. This time is closer to us - why shoot it when everything is on the Internet, chronicles and gossip.

As for the rest, I am glad that the film fell into the hands of decent comrades, and I believe that it will be a clean job, and how talented it will be, no one can say, we'll see. I was on the set only once.

- By the way, is it true that in Kharkiv the street will be named after Lyudmila Markovna?

I think that would be correct. Kharkov should be proud that Lucy was born there. But there are laws according to which a street can be named only after ten years. In any case, no one contacted me. I remember the story of the monument that they wanted to erect to Lyusa in Kharkov, but then they never did. This situation exhausted her greatly. She did not know anything about it, but at that time some quarrels began, everything fell on her poor head, and she never dreamed of knowing what monument and what.

Lucy never had an abundance of jewelry, everything was modest. I gave her old rings with precious stones, she was always fond of very expensive jewelry, but these are not simple trinkets. It happens that good jewelry is more expensive than jewelry.

- Not so long ago lawyer Yulia Kaygorodova, who helped you resolve conflicts over the division of property with Gurchenko's daughter Masha, admitted that Lyudmila Markovna had almost no expensive jewelry - everything she wore was mostly good jewelry. How could this be?

Lucy never had an abundance of jewelry, everything was very modest. She loved antique jewelry. I gave her earrings and rings with precious and semi-precious stones. Dima Gordon once presented very beautiful earrings with emeralds ...

Lucy was also fond of very expensive jewelry, but these are not simple trinkets. It happens that good jewelry is more expensive than jewelry. There was such jewelry, which you will not find in the daytime with fire. But she also added a lot to it herself, then it was generally an unreal, fantastic thing, but for those who understand, the rest do not care.

And with Masha we decided all the cases, there were no courts. Through no fault of mine, we solved them five years later, and decided as I suggested at the very beginning. Quiet, calm, everyone is happy. Masha will be at the anniversary concert. We were with her last year in St. Petersburg at the birthday party of Lyudmila Markovna, so everything is fine. We did not even have any struggle for an apartment. Masha has a dacha, I have an apartment. I paid her a decent amount as compensation for the fact that I had Lucy's things left to go to the museum. Because if we started to share the things that were left, we would go crazy. Our grandchildren would still finish these cases. Masha understands that I am doing this on purpose. In addition, she has her own problems, children, grandchildren. But the fact that I am alive is a guarantee that these things will persist for at least some coming decades, and then I don’t know how it will be. I don't think about any story in the future - I just would be insanely sorry if it all disappeared. I know that the Hermitage is also showing interest in Lucy's handmade costumes, there are also extraordinary things there!

Lucy always enjoyed performing in gay clubs, and she had many friends from this circle. We had normal relations with everyone. She considered these people the most grateful audience.

I still remember one of the last unofficial visits of Lyudmila Markovna to Kiev: she came to the opening of a gay club on Khreshchatyk. A small basement room, there were so many people that she could hardly make her way to the stage, there was not enough air. And then I thought that such stress at her age could really be decided only for the sake of money. Has she needed them in recent years?

Lucy always performed with pleasure in such institutions, and she had many friends from this circle. We had normal relations with everyone. She considered these people the most grateful audience. Starting from "Motley Twilight" she had some premonition of something ... A man lived his best years with downtime at work, but here it seemed like he wanted to make up for everything. I tried to stop this process, to streamline it, but I realized that it was pointless.

The last two years - 2010 and 2011 - have been a real madness for her. But such is the acting life. If our actors of the Soviet cinema received according to their talent and contribution, then one "Carnival Night" in America would cost her what! Take pictures - and live happily ever after. And we didn't have that, so when it became possible to earn money, the strength was not the same and the demand was not the same, but she always had to overcome something in order to be at the top.

- Could you put some money aside, or did everyone immediately live and invest in their needs?

I can't say that we made crazy money - rather, they were normal. This allowed us not to deny ourselves anything, but also not to live in luxury. There was no waste because there was nothing to waste. We lived modestly, without frills, but we could safely go abroad, change cars of good brands every two years. The apartment was in the center of Moscow, in the best area, but more than modest - 120 meters. And also a very modest dacha. All this was enough for a happy life and work.

I remember when tough times came, in 1998, we did the first original musical "The Bureau of Happiness", the cast - more than a hundred people ... Suddenly a default broke out. I had to get my hard-earned money and invest in this business, otherwise it would not have worked. With “Motley Twilight” in 2008, the situation was the same. We start filming, the state allocates 1 million rubles for a picture, and this is, at best, a fourth part for a modest film. A crisis comes, the ruble falls - and we again sell something of our own, take it out of our bosom and invest in the project.

There is a duty every weekend at Lucy's grave. I am calm, because I myself have begun to visit less often, there is not enough time due to such busyness as now, but I know that there are reliable and loyal people. Many people call them fans - this is probably so, because they have been on watch for five years.

When Lyudmila Markovna passed away, a Russian tabloid published a photograph of her in a coffin. What was your reaction?

I've seen this magazine! Someone slipped it under the door of my apartment. Everything went cold for me, but not because this photo was published. It’s just that I once again saw the lifeless Lucy. And so - I do not care about them. Journalists have brought so many troubles to us in life, I despise so many of them, they are just nonhumans! How much mud was poured on Lyusya even after death! But I myself do not read anything on purpose, except that it catches my eye without my desire. Many books have been written about her, most of them are mediocre. The best was written by journalist Valery Kichin, the book is simply amazing!

There are guys from Lyusa's VKontakte group who help me look after her grave and the grave of her parents buried at the Vagankovskoye cemetery, her grandson Mark is also there, and they look after his grave. And on Novodevichy every weekend there is a watch. I am calm, because I myself have begun to visit less often, there is not enough time due to such busyness as now, but I know that there are reliable and loyal people. Many people call them fans, and in a sense they are really fans, because for the past five years they have been keeping a kind of watch, cleaning, wiping the monument, throwing away withered flowers. They could go about their business, but they come there, it is important for them. I thought - well, probably some time will pass, as usually happens: at first everything is close by, and at the end there are two people left. But no, they still come every weekend and bring their children, I scold them for this, but I can’t do anything, thanks for being there anyway, without them it would be completely sad.

- Do you dream about Lyudmila Markovna, do you feel her presence?

Yes, I see her very often. The last time I dreamed yesterday, but this is connected with the concert, when the balls are already dropping into the rollers. I check everything through Lyusya all the time, consult with her. For the first six months it was not at all that I had not seen dreams with her - I could not recall her face in my memory. Such a strange bump in my head happened. And then I dreamed, but I did not see her in my dream, I only knew that it was Lucy standing on the bridge, and there was no one there. Some kind of dream.

- How do you consult with her?

I sit down and imagine how she would say in this situation. Lucy has always made wise decisions. Sometimes I categorically disagreed, and then after a while I realized how insightful, fair and wise she was, how she accurately assessed people, actions, actions. Some kind of wisdom was embedded in her. And it helps today. It happens that I cannot find an answer, a desperate situation, then again I consult with her.

They say that people who are married will be together in the next world. You were officially married, but you weren't married. Do you regret it now?

These are such difficult things ... I was tormented recently that I erected a monument on the grave, and there is no cross there.

In general, of course, I regret a lot ... I behaved incorrectly, made me nervous, suffered, was rude. When you live and work together, you don't notice many things. If I returned that time, I would be more attentive, I would forbid her to do any work in order to save strength and health, but this is all in the past.

Do you wear a wedding ring? In general, are there things presented by Lyudmila Markovna that you do not part with?

I took off mine, now two of our rings are at home together. And I wear a white gold ring with a sapphire. It is always with me. Lucy gave it to me in 1995, when we were in New York. It's not expensive, bought from a very good store on Fifth Avenue. And a pectoral cross of the 19th century, which she bought me at the Izmailovsky opening day in Moscow in 1993.

If I am alone, then I will be alone, not alone, so not alone. All the same, my attitude, memory and twenty years that we lived with Lucy will not disappear from this. This is definitely forever!

- But you admit that sooner or later you will arrange your life again?

Why make a guess? Probably ... I can't say no, that's it, never. Life goes on so that you make plans, and then bam - and everything turned upside down. As it will be, so it will be. If I am alone, then I will be alone, not alone, so not alone. I think that's okay. All the same, my attitude, memory and twenty years that we lived with Lucy will not disappear from this. This is definitely forever! And everything else is life that requires something. It is very difficult for one to do, for example, everyday life, housekeeping and solve some primitive issues. Although I have a housekeeper who worked with us under Luce. Now she began to come less, because there is less work outside the city. But she is with me, helps, cleans up. And my friends don't leave me either.

Lyudmila Gurchenko - biography

This actress has always caused conflicting feelings. Someone deified her talent. She annoyed someone. But, undoubtedly, the life of Lyudmila Gurchenko became an integral part of the era. The biography of this personality is the fate of a woman who sacrificed her life and personal happiness to the profession.

Lyudmila Gurchenko - Childhood

Lyudmila Markovna Gurchenko was born in Kharkov. Her father was a button accordion player who held matinees in schools and festive evenings in factories and plants. The attitude of this man to his daughter predetermined her fate. Mark Gavrilovich from early childhood convinced his wife, acquaintances and neighbors that Lucy would become a real artist.

The daughter believed in her singularity and talent thanks to the boundless love of her father. This confidence gave her strength even when, many years later in Moscow, she realized that being different from everything is difficult and, at times, unbearable. And the love and affection that the actress felt for Mark Gavrilovich may have deprived her of personal happiness. She always dreamed of meeting a man like her father.


The future actress and singer spent the first years of her life behind the scenes. Parents often took their little daughter to their performances. She learned to sing before she spoke. According to the memoirs of Lyudmila Gurchenko, her life before the war was music, during the war - the expectation of her beloved father.

Mark Gavrilovich reached Berlin and returned home in 1945 unharmed. His daughter has always distinguished herself favorably from her peers. She was dressed differently, confident in herself and already in adolescence became popular in some areas of her hometown thanks to numerous performances.

Lyudmila Gurchenko in Moscow

Relatives and acquaintances saw young Lyudmila as a future pop star. But she unexpectedly chose for herself a slightly different path to fame. After leaving school, Gurchenko went to the capital, to enter the Institute of Cinematography. In VGIK she was accepted from the first call. The teachers of the future movie and stage stars were the famous teachers Gerasimov and Makarova.

The course brought together the most gifted young people from those who dreamed of acting glory. But even against this background, a miniature girl with a mild Kharkov accent stood out. She had the thinnest waist, boundless charm and unique energy. And most importantly, Gurchenko was extremely self-confident. It is these people who, as a rule, achieve their goal.

The Ukrainian accent was not easy to get rid of. But the future actress understood that with this flaw, all roads to the cinema are closed. And therefore, she made a lot of efforts, and in her third year her speech became almost perfect.

Lyudmila Gurchenko - Star Trek in the cinema

Lyudmila Gurchenko began acting in films immediately after graduating from VGIK. The biography of this personality includes periods when she was not at all in demand as an actress. She made a living on voice acting, performed at all kinds of concerts, took on almost any job. But that was later. The path of the young graduate of VGIK began brightly and promisingly. She played two minor film roles in films, the titles of which will tell nothing to the modern viewer. But then, fate brought her together with the young director Eldar Ryazanov.

The main female role in the film "Carnival Night" made her a screen star in a matter of days. And this film has firmly entered the history of Soviet cinema.


Only a few years have passed since the release of the famous film, when the public suddenly turned away from Gurchenko. The reason was the outbreak of a scandal around the actors who allegedly earned their living by dishonest means. "The Capitalist Approach to Art" -
the accusation brought against the artist by the Soviet press.

The best roles of Lyudmila Gurchenko

In the life of Lyudmila Gurchenko, difficult times came. After a bright and rapid take-off, they suddenly forgot about the young aspiring actress. Gurchenko's biography is a life story that cannot be described, perhaps, even in a full-fledged book. Nevertheless, ill-wishers have repeatedly stated that during her long life this actress has played negligible real and interesting roles.

Perhaps there is truth in these words.

Lyudmila Markovna Gurchenko. Born on November 12, 1935 in Kharkov - died on March 30, 2011 in Moscow. Soviet and Russian theater and film actress, pop singer. Laureate of the State Prize of the RSFSR them. brothers Vasiliev (1976). Laureate of the State Prize of the Russian Federation (1994). People's Artist of the USSR (1983).

Lyudmila Gurchenko was born in Kharkov.

Father - Mark Gavrilovich Gurchenko (1898-1973), a native of farm laborers.

Mother - Elena Aleksandrovna Simonova-Gurchenko (1917-1999), from a family of repressed nobles.

His maternal grandfather, Alexander Prokofievich Simonov, was from an ancient Russian family, from which came the Monks Cyril, Stephen, Theodore and the patron saint of student youth, Sergius of Radonezh. Continuing the family tradition, he was the director of a gymnasium in Moscow. However, after 1917 he did not cooperate with the new regime, he left for his family estate Borodulino in the Smolensk region. On November 11, 1928, he was arrested by the Smolensk OGPU and sentenced to a special meeting at the OGPU Collegium on February 1, 1929 under paragraph 10 of Art. 58 to 3 years of expulsion. Rehabilitated July 21, 1989

Lyudmila Markovna's grandmother was also a columnar noblewoman. Oona was a mother of eight children, a housewife and managed an estate in the Smolensk province that had been taken away after the revolution and her own house in Moscow. After she learned that her grandfather, who had been exiled to Siberia by the Soviet regime, had cheated on her, she refused to forgive him and left for Kharkov. There her daughter met Mark Gavrilovich, a hereditary Russian peasant from the Smolensk region, all of whose ancestors had lived for centuries in the same village.

A cousin - Anatoly Yegorovich Gurchenkov (b. 1941), lives in the village of Dunaevshchina, Shumyachsky district, Smolensk region.

My cousin, Valentina, lives in Estonia.

From her birthday until the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, Lyusya Gurchenko lived with her parents in Kharkov in a one-room semi-basement apartment in Mordvinovsky Lane.

Before the start of the war, Lyudmila Gurchenko's parents worked at the Kharkov Philharmonic. His father was a professional musician: he played the button accordion and sang at matinees, holidays, and his mother helped him. Despite his disability and non-conscription age, his father went to war.

Lyudmila ended up in Kharkov, occupied by the Germans, with her mother. Already at that age, according to her, she sang and danced in front of the Germans in order to get at least some food. The repertoire of young Gurchenko was mainly from German operettas. Mainly, before the Germans during the first occupation of Kharkov, the girl Lyusya Gurchenko performed the repertoire of Marika Rökk. After that, I contacted the punks in the market in Kharkov, occupied by the Germans for the second time. It was only by a miracle that she did not die as a result of the raids, when, in response to the actions of the Red Army and partisans, the Nazis killed random people in gas chambers - usually girls and women caught in the Kharkov market.

After the final liberation of Kharkov on August 23, 1943, on September 1, she went to the Ukrainian school (currently gymnasium) No. 6, which was located in the courtyard of the house where she then lived. At school, she fell in love with the Ukrainian language, similar to the language of the Smolensk region. In the fall of 1944 she entered the Beethoven School of Music.

In 1953, after completing a ten-year period, she went to Moscow and entered VGIK, in the workshop of Sergei Gerasimov and Tamara Makarova. In her graduation course she played the role of Keto in the operetta “Keto and Kote” and the role of Imogen in the stage composition “Trap” by Theodore Dreiser, in which she sang, danced and played the piano. She graduated from VGIK in 1958.

She made her film debut in Jan Frida's The Road to Truth (1956). “I didn’t come here to keep silent!” - this was the first phrase of Lyudmila Gurchenko in the cinema. “This is exactly what I wanted - to come to the cinema, so as not to be silent, not to go with the flow, but to create a wave myself,” the artist later said in one of her interviews.

In the same year, the New Year comedy of a young director was released on the screens of Soviet cinemas "Carnival Night", in which Gurchenko played the main role.

The film was a huge success and fell in love with the audience for many years, and thanks to the role of Lenochka Krylova, Gurchenko became the all-Union favorite and idol of the generation. Carnival Night broke all box office records, selling 48.64 million tickets. In the USSR, the song "Five Minutes" became a kind of New Year's anthem. Few people know that Lyudmila Gurchenko could not have played in this film, since the actress failed her screen test.

Later, Gurchenko recalled: “I walked with a bouncing gait along the corridor of the Mosfilm studio. Ivan Alexandrovich Pyriev walked towards him. I twisted even more, lifted my chin even higher. Pyryev raised his head, saw me, winced, and then his face pulled up with interest. He told me to follow him. He took me to the third pavilion, where the shooting took place, went up to the chief operator, and said that here's an actress, just shoot her better - and there will be a man. That's how I accidentally got into the picture. "

After Gurchenko's great success in "Carnival Night", a film script was specially written for her "Girl with a Guitar" counting on her popularity, however, "The Girl with the Guitar" did not have such a success, after which the "stamp" of the actress of the light, dance genre was fixed for Gurchenko.

The financial situation of the young actress was difficult, so she had to earn money by giving concerts in factories, in mines, on trips around the country, accepted offers to participate in creative meetings with the audience, the so-called acting "hacks". This served as a formal pretext for the persecution, and a "revelatory article" "Tap dance to the left" appeared in the Soviet press. In 1957, during the filming of the film "Girl with a Guitar" Gurchenko was summoned by the Minister of Culture of the USSR Nikolai Mikhailov and offered to cooperate with the KGB during the VI International Festival of Youth and Students. It was the rejection of this offer that became the real reason for the persecution of Lyudmila Gurchenko.

According to Gurchenko, this period of oblivion lasted 10 years, but she still had roles at that time, since there are no breaks in Gurchenko's filmography for more than one year: out of 54 years of her film career, there were only twelve years (in the second half of the 90s and in the 2000s) when she was not filming.

In the period from 1958 to 1973, Gurchenko starred in the main roles in 9 films: "Roman and Francesca", "Walking", "Bicycle Tamer", "Workers' Village", "No and Yes", "White Explosion", "My Good Dad "," Summer Dreams "," Tobacco Captain ". These films were not very successful.

Lyudmila Gurchenko herself spoke about this period of her life: “I have experienced many cruelties. There is cruelty in the fact that in my best period, when a man, a woman flourishes, when there is health, and ... ten years not to act! Can anything be worse after that? Nothing!".

During this period of her life, Lyudmila Gurchenko tried to act in a new dramatic role for her: "Baltic Sky" (1961) - the film was even presented at the Venice International Film Festival, "Workers' Village" (1966), but the roles in these films were rather as an exception , there were mainly episodes (bright, memorable, but episodes): "The Marriage of Balzaminov" (1964), "The Road to Rubezal" (1970) and "The Crown of the Russian Empire, or Elusive Again" (1971).

In the 1960s and early 1970s, Gurchenko was barely visible, even continuing to appear regularly. This continued until the film was released in 1974. "Old Walls", in which the actress played the main role - the director of a weaving factory.

Lyudmila Gurchenko gradually became one of the leading actresses of Soviet cinema. But she continued to be invited to appear mainly in musical comedies and operetta films. Musical films with Gurchenko's participation were released one after another. Lyudmila Markovna successfully played and sang in "Tobacco Captain" (1972), "Straw Hat" (1974), "Heavenly Swallows" (1976) and "Mama" (1976).

It so happened that, having agreed to star in the musical film "Mom", Gurchenko received an offer to play the role of the general in the film "Unfinished Piece for a Mechanical Piano", and she had to refuse Nikita Mikhalkov. Filming "Mama" brought her not only creative success, but also new challenges.

On June 14, 1976, while filming on ice, the clown Oleg Popov fell and broke the actress's right leg. A closed fracture with displacement threatened disability - the leg was collected in pieces from 19 fragments. Immediately after the most difficult operation, Gurchenko continued to act. But the actress was able to dance and walk on high heels again only after many years of training and special physical exercises.

In addition to comedies, her television benefits and special music programs were regularly released.

Lyudmila Gurchenko tried to break out of the role imposed on her, she wanted to play dramatic roles. And in the end she got her way.

In 1976 she was invited to the main role in the film "Twenty days without war", in which Gurchenko played one of her best dramatic roles. The contrast of her two characters in the films, filmed one year apart, seems all the brighter: the costume designer Nina from “Twenty Days Without War”, who lives in evacuation during the war, and the frivolous hat-maker Klara from “Straw Hat”. The actress's partner in the film was, who by that time had also established himself primarily as a comedian. In one of her interviews, Gurchenko recalled with gratitude how Nikulin helped her on the set of this film: “If it were not for him, I don’t know how I would have withstood this difficult picture, which had been filmed for almost two years”.

The next outstanding work of Gurchenko was the film "Sibiriada" director. In 1979, the film won the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival.

In 1979 the picture was released "Five evenings"... In the role of Tamara Vasilievna - a lonely woman who suddenly met a loved one, with whom she was separated by the war - performed by Gurchenko is dramatic, almost tragic. Nikita Mikhalkov rented all five evenings of his melodrama in three apartments and on stairwells.

One of the best works of the actress was the film "Station for two", in which she played the role of the station waitress Vera Nefyodova. For this film, she was recognized as the best actress in 1984 by a poll of the magazine "Soviet Screen".
