She was married five times, had many fans. Her stormy, passionate and amorous nature, as Lyudmila Gurchenko admitted, demanded an exit. And her many men were in some way temporary fireflies that flew towards a bright light to bask in its rays and show themselves. Today it is no longer a secret for anyone that they often very skillfully used the popular fame of Lyudmila Markovna, deriving considerable benefit for a personal person. However, Gurchenko has never been a whipping girl. She possessed a strong and domineering character, at times capricious to the point of indecency. And I must admit that living together with a star was far from sugar.

Vasily Ordynsky

The first lover of eighteen-year-old Lucy was film director Vasily Ordynsky. Gurchenko met him in the second year of VGIK. The romance that began between them lasted no more than a year. For Lyudmila, everything that happened remained, as it were, behind the scenes, just a stroke in the beginning biography of the actress. There is no doubt: there was a certain benefit in these relations. Vasily Ordynsky even invited her to the lead role in one of his films. But the members of the artistic council, observing the honor and conscience of Soviet cinema, gave a complete refusal to the young artist. And yet the status of the "passion" of a fairly well-known director made itself felt. Otherwise, she would not have been invited to the main role in Eldar Ryazanov's film "Carnival Night", which brought Ludmila Gurchenko phenomenal success and national recognition.

Parting with Ordynsky was easy and painless. Soon, Boris Andronikashvili, a student of the screenwriting department of VGIK, a recognized idol of the girls of the course, with an irresistible appearance, met on her life path. Lyudmila, without knowing it, succumbed to the charms of a spectacular young man and married him. Boris became the first official husband of Gurchenko and the father of the only daughter of the actress - Masha. After two years of marriage, they broke up: "ice and fire" in the relationship turned out to be completely incompatible.

Since childhood, I fell in love at all crossroads and in all movie characters, if "he had teeth like chalk, vusy yak at Budenagh." In short, in all the "dark eagles". At the institute, I fell in love on every floor. A handsome man has passed - the heart of the nuts! But she was quickly disappointed. And suddenly she fell in love. Fell head over heels in love, for real

Lyudmila Gurchenko later recalled this marriage in her book "Lucy, stop!"

“With this young man, we approached each other as in a song: 'You and I are two banks at the same river.' It can be seen from the present bell tower, and then ... Despite his exquisite appearance, from which you initially did not expect anything deep, he was a complex person with a set of extraordinary qualities - large and small. All his pockets were filled with rare books, interspersed with newspapers and magazines. I read everything in the world. He had a special sense of humor. He believed that his personal criticism was the most accurate and original. Distinguished by musicality, masculine charm. "

“Everything about him was beyond my reach. And vice versa. He treated my profession with irony. He considered a musical comedy picture a spectacle far from art. Well, the success with the public ... When I got into not “my” sphere (I was interested in his complex screenwriting profession), I was always amazed at how much irony my “jump” from a frivolous, primitive acting life into his mysterious world evoked in him ... then he talentedly knew how to live side by side, being only on his shore. With incredible willpower, I had to learn to live alone alone ... "

It's amazing how long I could not comprehend that, from the head to the tips of my fingers - from here to here - Boris is not my man. Beautiful, but - a stranger. It is very, very difficult to understand myself, and even more difficult to explain to others how a long relationship ends. I longed for happiness, and that was my misfortune ...

Then there was a fleeting connection with the actor of the Sovremennik theater Igor Kvasha. Igor almost publicly beat himself on the chest, swore to Lyudmila Gurchenko in eternal love and firmly promised to marry. However, he did not have the courage to "sail away" forever from the warmed family hearth and destroy his real marriage.

Alexander Fadeev Jr.

And for many, the decision of the star actress to marry the adopted son of the famous Soviet writer Alexander Fadeev Jr. was unexpected.

"There is someone to sleep with, but there is nobody to wake up and drink coffee with in the morning", - Ludmila Markovna noted with sadness in one of her books.

The future spouses met at the WTO restaurant - the most fashionable and visited institution by the actors. Alexander was also an actor, but little-known and "not inspiring great abilities." However, he more than paid for it in constant spree, and his real "theater" was the WTO restaurant, where Alexander was the number one client for local waitresses. This could not continue. Moreover, at any opportunity, the husband tried to prick his wife: they say, your popularity is not for long and will end soon. They parted two years later ...

It would be unfair to say that the recognized Soviet diva grieved greatly over this. And it is not always necessary to blindly believe the writers' memoirs of our celebrities: they sometimes contain a lot of personal and hidden things. After the divorce, Lyudmila Gurchenko did not live long with the film actor Anatoly Vedenkin. Then there was a stormy romance with the artist Boris Diodorov: she simply took him out from under the nose of his legal wife. "Stumbled" over the charm of the charming Lyudmila Gurchenko and Vladimir Vysotsky. For this random episode of communication, Marina Vlady hated the star actress forever.

Joseph Kobzon

The third official husband of Lyudmila Gurchenko was Joseph Kobzon. They first saw each other in 1964 in the corridor of the All-Union Theater Society. And soon Joseph called Lyudmila and invited her to dinner. This was the beginning of the love story of two stars - passionate and outstanding natures, which could not but end in legal marriage. Now it is difficult to judge which of them was right or wrong. But the family life of the famous singer and famous actress did not work out. Moreover, she became unbearable. They parted as completely strangers, who, it seems, had nothing to say to each other ...

Fool, it seemed to me that I would "rebuild" it. What naivety. He so needed a director of his appearance and repertoire nearby. Great opportunities will not replace taste, style

In his book "Stop, Lucy!" Gurchenko wrote the following about this marriage:

“It was one of the worst mistakes of my life. You had to run from him like Garun. Faster than a doe. But there was no one to guide me. What's the use that one composer was horrified: "Lucy, what have you done?" And where were you before? "

“Those few days in less than three years brought such a puzzle ... Much, very much can be voiced. But why? It is enough that for three years after that I could not imagine a single person next to me. One, just one. God forbid. Never. Never. No no. I know that then I understood a lot about myself. "

“When we met Kostya, he was Kostya Mikhailov. It turned out that his wife's parents forced him to take her last name. Change your last name? How is it? This is the name of the father! I even choke on the thought of changing my surname under pressure. Here I showed my pressure. And Kostya Mikhailov became Kostya Kuperveis. I was happy ... "- wrote about her fourth husband Lyudmila Gurchenko in the book "Lucy, stop!".

She met the 23-year-old pianist at a difficult time for herself: her father died, whom she literally idolized. And she, like an ordinary woman, wanted to find support for herself in this difficult moment: to be honest, just cry out, speak out and find sympathy. It was such a person that Konstantin Kuperveis seemed to Lyudmila.

For years I have been told that this is for life. How else? Such love! Such that I had to believe. But it turned out that all the words and confessions - just zilch! 18 years of solid zilch, huh ?!

Photo frame from the movie "The recipe for her youth"

After the first acquaintance, she invited him to the press bar of the Moscow Film Festival, where they spent a warm and unforgettable evening. Konstantin, one might say, was the ideal husband for Lyudmila Gurchenko. He fulfilled every whim of his star wife. The producer, personal secretary, financial director and even the nanny of her daughter Masha - do not count the responsibilities that fell on the shoulders of the young spouse. Konstantin did not even notice that, in general, he was once a talented musician and could achieve a successful career. However, everything was "eaten" by the environment in which he communicated and "spun". Of course, in the sea of adoration and love for Lyudmila there was no time to think about myself. And by the eighteenth year of a joint family life, Konstantin Kuperveis suddenly regained his sight: he seemed to wake up from a lethargic sleep. His decision to leave was unexpected for Lyudmila Gurchenko.

Today it is no longer a secret for anyone that they often very skillfully used the popular fame of Lyudmila Markovna, deriving considerable benefit for a personal person. However, Gurchenko has never been a whipping girl. She possessed a strong and domineering character, at times capricious to the point of indecency. And I must admit that living together with a star was far from sugar.

Unexpected Lucy: rare photos of Lyudmila Gurchenko

On November 12, the beloved actress would have turned 80 years old.

Her husband Sergei Senin shared rare archival footage with Antenna and Woman's Day.

1993, still from the film "I Love".

- This is our second joint work with Lyusya, - says Sergei Senin. - The musical picture was her long-standing idea, and I found an opportunity to implement it. Filmed the movie Fedor Sergeevich Bondarchuk. Lucy always addressed Fedor by name and patronymic. Boris Krasnov and Valentin Yudashkin became the artists. Operator - Mikhail Mukasey. The television premiere took place on New Year's Eve. This is a picture - a benefit performance: songs and monologues.

Lyudmila Markovna dreamed of being a musical film actress. Her greatest pain and longing for the profession was that, unfortunately, in our country, Lyusin's musical talent was not in demand. She was calm about her even the best dramatic roles, believing that they could be played by any other good actresses. And here's the musical! It was a dream ...

Around 1939-1940.

- Lucy is in kindergarten in Kharkov. “My first fiancé Semochka,” she smiled, looking at the photo. Here he sleds her.

Around 1936. With dad Mark Gavrilovich.

- Her father was the most dear person to her. This photo in his book "Lucy, stop!" she signed this way: "From an early age, I listened attentively to my father's instructions."

1953 year. High school graduation.

- Kharkov women's school number 6. There is now a class dedicated to Lyudmila Markovna. In 2013, a memorial plaque was opened at the school (now gymnasium). In front of Lucy (she is on the far right) sits Mila Gitstein, her closest friend. They were born on the same day and in the same year.

Late 1950s. With my friend Mila.

- These are houses in Kharkov. Photo taken by Lucy's dad. Now Mila lives in Chicago, but they walked through life side by side, always kept in touch.

"Komsomolskaya Pravda" met with the last spouse of Lyudmila Markovna Sergei Senin to talk about what this inimitable woman was like in everyday life.

“I was taken aback. Numb. Gave flowers "

I could not even imagine that we would be together, - admits Sergei Senin. - 1990 ... "I lived then in dusty Odessa" ... (Senin - Odessa. - Ed.), Dropped out of graduate school at the Civil Engineering Institute and plunged into the cinema. We opened a film company with a friend. And away we go! Experience - zero. Ambition is darkness! The first works with the legendary Ephraim Sevela and Juliusz Machulski. That's really really dashing 90s! Director from Moscow Elena Nikolaeva invites us to produce a film based on Nabokov's story "Fairy Tale", where she invites Lyusya to one of the main roles. Oh! Immediately flashes through my head - 1980, the magazine "Our Contemporary". Circular Hall of the Construction Institute. I don’t listen to the lecture - I read “My Adult Childhood”. I do not read - I swallow. The author is Lyudmila Gurchenko. Blimey! I took a magazine issued for one day - the queue is waiting! - with a great air of a skeptic, and having closed the last page, I discovered that I was sitting alone in a huge audience. No, not alone. With her. With the one that I first see with my own eyes 10 years later in Vilnius, in the pavilion of the Lithuanian film studio. There we shoot "Fairy Tale". Scene of Lucy and Sergei Zhigunov. I saw a woman of fantastic beauty. I was taken aback. Numb. Gave flowers. After filming, I went to the hotel.

"Natural Romance"

- Then you were still married?

My wife emigrated with our daughter to Israel a year and a half earlier. For me, the question of emigration was not - impossible. I am one of those who love their homeland.

We met with Lyusya a year after the premiere of "Fairy Tale", in 1992. I called - friends asked about her tour in Israel with a concert and our film. At the end of the conversation, he got sulky: "Let's do something else together." And I heard a laconic and simple answer in response: “Come and talk”. We met. We discussed the program, which later aired on television under the name "I Love". A good name - Lucy suggested it. I love. I love everything - dad, people, viewers-readers, life, dogs, profession, what was, what will be ... But ... I rang the doorbell - she opened it - always beautiful looking, luxurious, it took my breath away ... And it seemed to me that there, behind the open door, there would be a thousand nannies, assistants, girlfriends and friends. Close people, in the end ... No. I met a strong, powerful, not devastated, as Lucy came up with in the "Station for Two" - wonderful! - but a very lonely person.

“How did it all happen? What evenings? For three years I dreamed about you ... ". We walked with the dachshund Tuzik, talked, laughed, were sad, remembered (Lucy is always a dad), had a delicious dinner in the restaurant of the House of Cinema. We supported each other. They were very fond of traveling around Moscow at night in Lyusina's "Lada" - "nine". I went to Odessa for five days on business. It seemed like an eternity had passed. Came back ... I think it happened then. Lucy starred in one of her best, in my and not only my opinion, pictures - "Listen, Fellini." Mosfilm. I know she's in some dressing room. Found. He opened the doors. For this, her embrace when we meet ... She clung to me like a child. Like a woman. Trusting ... I fell in love.

"Gymnastics is horror for her"

- You have a big age difference - 25 years ...

We talked about it. Sometimes. But only with humor. I've always felt older.

- How was your life built?

Everyday life ... Well, where to get away from him ... The principle was determined by Lyusya: the one on whom the well-being of the family (primarily financial) depends today is outside of everyday life ... When work brought dividends from my entrepreneurial business, Lyusya was a real mistress , wife and, as it is called there, - the keeper of the family hearth. In the culinary arts, she had a small assortment. But what she cooked was always exquisite. In oatmeal - a piece of dark chocolate, plum, banana, kiwi. The main thing is proportions. It turned out very tasty! Her signature salad is grated apple, carrot, raisins, banana, dried apricots, walnuts, sour cream. She loved to fry potatoes. I loved eclairs. I was always amazed: I just look at the bun and already feel that I am recovering, but she could eat a dozen cakes - and nothing. This is from God, her dad was all his life in the same weight, and so was Lucy. No training. Gymnastics or exercise is a horror for her! Favorite mise-en-scene is lying down. So she composed, fantasized. Role, music, movement, text. First in my head, then I took up the handle.

Survived the death of her grandson

- Were you with your wife when her grandson passed away? (The son of Maria Borisovna Mark Korolev died on December 18, 1998 from a drug overdose. - Ed.)

Lucy was in the hospital after a serious operation. Sinusitis is a consequence of the profession. In general, fractures, sinusitis are the professional diseases of the actors ... It was December, I dropped by home. I heard a message on the answering machine: a young voice said that a misfortune had happened, Marik had died. Despite the protests of the doctors, Lyusya went with me to the Vagankovskoye cemetery, where Mark was buried. He often came to us. She loved him very much.

- Many argue: Lyudmila Gurchenko and Alla Pugacheva were friends or competed?

She had an excellent relationship with Alla, there were simply no close points of intersection. Only some individual work. The clip "Prima Donna", in which Lucy starred, for example. Lucy and Alla are two cosmic values that each lived on their own territory: Alla on the stage, Lucy in the cinema. Another question is that Lucy felt free on the stage, this was her second vocation. But they were not friends, because it implies a closer relationship.

- Did you have a premonition on the last day of Lyudmila Markovna's life?

The day started off beautifully. In a dream, Lucy saw that she was going - she had a broken leg. I woke up, got up and took a few steps ...

Lucy was for me ... When I leave, I will know that I have not lived my life meaninglessly, because she was next to me.

BY THE WAY

Left over 200 outfits

At the time of Lyudmila Gurchenko, there was no expression "style icon" yet. But it was she who was for the audience in the Soviet years.

Lyusya added something of herself to all the dresses she bought, and she got shine, - recalls Sergei Senin. - I could embroider with beads, decorate with feathers, insert lace. More than 200 handmade Lucy stage costumes, accessories, items exist now. All this will be on Trekhprudny - the world of Lyusin is preserved there, you will feel it.

The further away from us the great historical cataclysms, about which there are always many mysteries, the more clearly the reasons that gave rise to them are manifested. The First World War, as is commonly believed, began with the assassination of the Astrian heir to the throne Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sofia by the 19-year-old Serbian nationalist Gavrila Princip. Ron shots were fired in Sarajevo in June 1914, and a month later the great powers met on the fronts of the First World War. Throughout July 14, the diplomats of the countries concerned tried to keep the governments from starting a world slaughter, but, as is known, they failed to do this. The modern researcher B. Grigoriev, who had access to the closed archives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, found that the last straw in unleashing the war was the unexpected death of the Russian envoy Nikolai Genrikhovich Hartwig, who died in the "camp of enemies" under very mysterious circumstances.

On the eve of the next song holiday, we decided to acquaint our readers with those of them who, in our opinion, can best convey the unforgettable "Grushin" atmosphere of the past.

The camp economy is sometimes called the “backbone” of Stalin's industrialization. What do the documents of those years testify about this?

The guest of the new release of Boris Korchevnikov's program is producer Sergei Senin, the sixth and last husband of the famous actress Lyudmila Gurchenko. Sergei spent 18 years of his life with her. She was dying in his arms. Since then, he spoke very little about their relationship, gave almost no interviews and never told what it was like to live in the shadow of a great actress.

Sergei Senin recalled that their first meeting took place in 1990. Then he, together with his friend, opened an independent film company, and director Elena Nikolaeva invited him to make a film based on Nabokov. The main role was taken by Lyudmila Gurchenko. The result of their work was the painting "Sex Tale". Gurchenko and Senin often met on the set, but at that time there was no question of any relationship - the actress was married, and he was married.

But fate brought them together again and again. Later, Sergei divorced his first wife Galina, and she and her daughter moved to Israel. Once she called him and offered to conduct a tour of "Sekkazki" there, so that Lyudmila Gurchenko performed. "I was delighted, because there was an excuse to dial Lucy's phone number," Senin recalls. The actress was given a small fee, so Sergei was sure that she would refuse. But, to his surprise, Gurchenko agreed - at that time she was going through a difficult divorce from her husband, so she went to work ...

As a result, it turned out that Sergei's first wife pushed him to get closer to Lyudmila. Although Senin himself is sure that everything began much earlier, because it was thanks to Galina that he left to work in cinema at all: "If I had not married Gala, maybe today I would have taught some kind of hydromechanics or something like that."

After the tour to Israel, the paths of Sergei and Lyudmila diverged for a while, but then somehow a telephone conversation happened between them and Gurchenko shared with him that she had an idea for one musical picture. The actress invited Senin to meet if he was interested in taking part in this. Sergei recalled that at that moment he thought: "I will do everything. I will sell everything in the world to do it."

Later, when they already began to live together, what they wrote about Sergei Senin - they called him a gigolo, a swindler. After all, he is younger than the actress by a quarter of a century. He himself comments on the difference in age in the following way: "Trust me, I did not feel her at all. Gurchenko was out of age, out of time, an absolutely modern person. It's very easy with her. I was the eldest in our family."

Problems with Gurchenko's daughter, Maria, also became a difficult page in their relationship. She refused to communicate with her mother, and after her death she began to share the inheritance with Senin. But, as Sergey said, now they communicate well, and the situation has settled down. It's just that Maria is a very gullible person, and next to her were not very smart and well-mannered people (whose names Senin did not name), who brought everything to a disagreement. "What a blessing that Lucy did not see all this. This is madness!" - commented Sergey.
