VIP Cemetery: War to Cock Board & NBSP. Novodevichi cemetery - peace of the Great (55 photos) where Nikulin is buried

Today, one good case, which I really liked was happening on my tours of the Novodevichy Cemetery.
At the end of the walk, I, as always, showed the group of graves of Primakov and Yeltsin on the central square.
And, right behind Yeltsin, Grigory Petrovich Nikulina, one of the soldiers who have shot the king with his family in Yekaterinburg.
Here it is his tombstone, obscured by trees specially planted behind the grave of Yeltsin so that it could not be seen: 6 plot, 23 row.

As usual, I spoke briefly the story of the shooting of Nicholas II and his family. Nikulin was shot at the royal son, Alexey.
And after my story, one of the sightseeners, an elderly man, a very erudite and courtested in history, asked me about the grave of another participant in the shooting - Medvedev, who shot in the king himself. They say, you read somewhere that Medvedev, too, is buried on Novodevichy, to the left of the entrance.
I read about Medvedev, but I didn't know that he was also on Novodevichy. Therefore, finished the excursion, I rushed to seek the grave. And found immediately for a minute. 6 Plot - the one that is left of the main alley. It is very easy to find: go to the left from the scheme, which is opposite the entrance, there is a traverse to the trail to more. 2 row. At his end - tombstone.
That's the way it looks like:


See? The excursant taught me a new one by opening another burial. Now I will show it. And the history of the execution of the royal family was replenished with an important detail.
Medvedev died on January 13, 1964. In the same year, Grigory Nikulin left his memories, they were recorded on the film in the archive. On time, for he soon died, September 22, 1965.
This is how my excursion is complemented and expanding. Constantly, almost every time I change it, I improve. And my story about the history, revolution and the USSR is becoming more and more slender.
Just in case, in addition, I will give the memories of Nikulina and Medvedev, for which I rely in my stories:

"From the typewritten decryption of the memoirs of the participant of the shooting of Nikulina Grigory Petrovich, set forth in the conversation on May 13, 1964 in the USSR radioomite (RGASPI, Fund 588, inventory 3, case 13, l. 1-71).
Before proceeding directly to the shooting, Mikhail Alexandrovich Medvedev arrived to help us, he also worked in the CC. It seems he was a member of the presidium, I do not remember right now. And this comrade Ermakov, who behaved quite indecently, assigning himself after the dominant role that he did everything, so to speak, alone, without any help. And when he was asked a question: "Well, how did you do?", "Well, simply," says, he took, shot - and that's it.
In fact, we were performers 8 people: Yurovsky, Nikulin, Medvedev Mikhail, Paul Medvedev - Four, Ermakov Peter - five, so I'm not sure that Ivan Kabanov is six. And two more I do not remember the names. When we went down to the basement, we also did not guessed first there even to put chairs to sit down, because this one was. I did not go, you see, Alexey, it was necessary to plant him. Well, it instantly, it means that they brought it. So this is when they descended into the basement, so it was intensely began to overlook each other, they immediately contributed, then chairs, the village, it means Alexander Fodorovna, the heir was planted, and Comrade Yurovsky said such a phrase that: "Your friends are coming to Ekaterinburg And therefore you are sentenced to death. " They did not even come to them, what's the matter, because Nikolai said only immediately: "A!", And at this time, the volley is immediately alone, the second, the third. Well, there is someone else, it means that, so to speak, well, or what was not completely killed. Well, then I had to hold someone else.
- Remember who was not completely dead?
- Well, this is this very. Anastasia and this. Closed, here, the pillow is Demidov. Demidova closed the pillow, the pillow had to moisten and shoot it.
- And boy?
- And the boy was immediately immediately. Well, however, he grumbled for a long time, in any case with him, with a boy was finished. Fast.
- How much does this whole operation continued?
- ... Then, when they descended, everything was completed there for a half hour.
- So, all the inhabitants of this come there? ..
- Absolutely everything, all eleven people, with the exception, means, a little boy Sednev. "

From the memories of the participant of the shooting of Medvedev (Kudrin) Mikhail Alexandrovich, written on December 21, 1963. (RGASPI, Foundation 588, Inventory 3, Case 12, l. 44-58): "Looks like: Save the life of only Laong Sednev. Then they began to think who was allocated to the elimination of Romanov from the Ural Regional Emergency Commission. Beloborov asks me:
- Do you want to participate?
- By decree of Nicholas II, I was tried and sat in prison. Certainly, I will accept!
"An representative is still needed from the Red Army," says Philip Goloshchekin. "I suggest Peter Zakharovich Ermakova, the Military Commissioner of the Top Isetsk."
- Accepted. And from you, Yakov, who will participate?
"I and my assistant Grigory Petrovich Nikulin," says Yurovsky. - So, four: Medvedev, Ermakov, Nikulin and me.
They distributed nagans to the Latvians internal security, "we found rational to attract them to surgery, so as not to shoot some members of the Romanov family in front of others. Three Latvians refused to participate in the execution. The head of the security of Pavel Spiridonovich Medvedev returned their nagans to the Commandant room.
In the detachment there are seven people Latvian. Yurovsky invites us to take the remaining five nagans. Peter Yermakov takes two nagans and put them on the belt, Gregory Nikulin and Pavel Medvedev take them to Nagana. I refuse, as I have two pistols: on the belt in Cobur, the American "Colt", and behind the belt Belgian "Browning" (both historical pistols - "Browning" No. 389965 and "Colt" of the caliber 45, government model "C" № 78517 - I retained until today). The remaining revolver takes first Yurovsky (he has a ten-fold "Mauser" in Cobur), but then gives him to Ermakov, and he will hold the third Nagan for his belt. We go to the ladder platform of the second floor.
Yurovsky goes to the royal chambers, then returns - followed by the Guska go: Nicholas II (he carries Alexey's hands, the boy has a bad blood, he hurts somewhere and can not walk for himself), for the king, walks, rustling skirts, tightened to the corset of the queen, followed by four daughters (of which I only know the younger full Anastasia and - older - Tatyana, which, on the kinja Yurovsky, I was instructed to me, until I crashed myself from Yermakova my king), men go for girls: Doctor Botkin, cook, lacquer, carries white pillows High maid queens. Following the process, Pavel Medvedev, Grisha Nikulin, Seven Latvian, follow the stairs (two of them behind the rifles with rifled bayonets), we finish the procession with Yermakov.
When everyone entered the lower room (in the house there is a very strange location of the moves, so we had to first go to the courtyard of the mansion, and then again enter the first floor), it turned out that the room is very small. Yurovsky with Nikulin brought three stools - the last thrones of the sentenced dynasty. For one of them, closer to the right arc, the Tsarina sat down on the pad, three senior daughters became behind it. The youngest, Anastasia for some reason moved to the maid leaning against the jacket of the locked door to the next storeroom room. In the middle of the room, a chair for the heir was put on the heir, rightly sat down at Nicholas II chair, Dr. Botkin got up for Alexei's chair. The chef and the lacquer respected respectfully to the arch of the arches in the left corner of the room and became at the wall. The light bulb is so weak that there are two female figures from the opposite closed door with sometimes silhouettes, and only two large pillows are clearly whiten in the hands of the maid. Romanovs are completely calm - no suspicion. Nicholas II, Queen and Botkin carefully look at me with Ermakov.
- I will ask everyone!
Easy, Nicholas II rose in the military; Evil flashed with her eyes, reluctantly rose from Chair Alexander Fedorovna. The room entered and lined up just against her and daughters of the Latvian detachment: five people in the first row, and two, with rifles, in the second. The queen crossed himself. It became so quiet that from the courtyard via the window hears, how tahachtitis motor truck. Yurovsky on Polaxaga goes forward and appeals to the king:
- Nikolay Alexandrovich! Attempts by your like-minded people save you were not crowned with success!
And so, in the heavy godina for the Soviet Republic. - Yakov Mikhailovich increases the voice and hand rubs the air, -. Thenas mission is entrusted to end with the house of Romanov!
Women's cries: "My God! Oh! Oh!" Nicholas II quickly mumbles:
- Oh my God! Oh my God! What is it?!
- But what is! - Says Yurovsky, taking out the "Mauser" from the holster.
- So you will not be lucky anywhere? - Asks Botkin's deaf voice.
Yurovsky wants to answer him something, but I already descend the trigger of my "Browning" and absorb the first bullet in the king. Simultaneously with my second shot, the first volley of the Latvian and my comrades on the right and left will be distributed. Yurovsky and Ermakov also shoot in Nicholas II breasts. On my fifth shot, Nicholas II rolled with a sheaf on his back. Female screech and moans; I see how Botkin falls, the wall settles the lacquer, and the cook crawls. White pillow moved from the door to the right corner of the room. In the powder smoke from the screaming female group, a female figure was darted to a closed door and immediately falls, the shots of Yermakova, which the palette was already from the second nagan. You can hear how the bullets are clay from stone poles, lime dust flies. There is nothing in the room because of smoke - the shooting is already on barely visible incident silhouettes in the right corner. Digitly screams, but the shots still rumble - Ermakov shoots from the third Nagan. Yurovsky's voice is heard:
- Stop! Stop shooting!
Silence. Rings in the ears. Someone from the Red Army women wounded into his finger and in the neck - or with a ricochet, or in the powder fog of Latvians from the second row of the rifles burned down bullets. Reliens pellery smoke and dust. Jacob Mikhailovich offers me with Ermakov, as representatives of the Red Army, witness the death of each member of the royal family. Suddenly, from the right corner of the room where the pillow began to move, the female joyful cry:
- Thank God! God saved me!
Shatting, risen the surviving maid - she covered the pillows, in the fluff of which bullets were bogged down. Latvians have already shot all the cartridges, then two with rifles are suitable for it through the lying bodies and pins rock the maid. From her suicide scream, he woke up and groaned easily wounded Alexey - he lies on a chair. Yurovsky is suitable for him and produces three last bullets from their "Mauser". The guy fell and slowly slides on the floor to the feet of the father. With Yermakov, we add a pulse from Nikolai - it is all exhaust with bullets, dead. We inspect the rest and hold from the "Colt" and Ermakovsky Nagan's still living Tatiana and Anastasia. Now all lifeless. The George of the Security of Pavel Spiridonovich Medvedev comes to Yurovsky and reports that the shots were heard in the yard of the house. "

Guests of the capital are often referring to Muscovites with a request to tell, where Nikulin is buried. They use free hours to visit the grave of the popularly beloved artist, farewell to which is comparable only with the wires of Brezhnev and Stalin. We will try to satisfy their curiosity.

Tragic news

On August 21, 1997, a unique thing happened for the country: B. Yeltsin, the first Russian president, turned from the screen to the citizens of his country with the news about the death of Yu. Nikulina. He began his speech according to: "We have a big grief with you." Before that, not a single artist honored such honor.

On the eve, the best doctors of the capital of 16 days unsuccessfully fought for the return to the life of the beloved clown, the TV host "White Parrot" and one of the talented movie actors. On August 5, he was operated on coronary angioplasty, during which the heart stop occurred.

30 minutes 75-year-old actor was in a state of clinical death. Although during this time all vital bodies were injured, doctors until the last moment did not lose hope for a positive outcome. Their optimism was supported by the Patient's Personality: who did not have enviable health, he never complained to the last one of the most fun gears on television.

When did the artist's wires and where did Nikulina buried?

A few words about the career

From the famous Gaidaev Troika Y. Nikulin, who played the Balbes, made the most successful professional career. The participant of the Great Patriotic and Commander of the Circus Studio, he began to be filmed back in the late 50s, gradually moving from the roles of comedy to such serious, as glazies from "to me, Mukhtar", Lopatin from "Twenty days without war", N. N. Insulse from "stuffed".

In the 60-year-old, Nikulan left the arena, having ceased to mix the audience in the image of a clown. However, he remained at the steering wheel of the Moscow circus on color boulevard, becoming in 1984 his leader. With it, he became truly blooming, for power did not regret financial investments.

So much laughter and joy crushed the artist that he was considered to be friends with him for honor and colleagues, and government officials, and businessmen. In the clinic for Yuri Vladimirovich, Y. Luzhkov and V. Chernomyrdin went to the Yuri Vladimirovich, and congratulate with the 75th anniversary in December 1997, A. Chubais personally arrived.

That is why the answer to the question of where Nikulin was buried, on which cemetery will be unequivocal: "On the most prestigious."

About Novodevichy Necropolis

Such is Novodevichi Cemetery, founded in the XIX century at the walls of the monastery of the monastery. Today it is known by the burials of the largest politicians, well-known scientists, creative intelligentsia. Necropolis occupies an area of \u200b\u200bmore than 7.5 hectares, where more than 26 thousand people are now resting.

The cemetery is in Khamovniki (CAO), the metro station "Sportivnaya". You can reach buses 415m, 132, 64 and 5.

The location in the center of the capital makes it prestigious for Muscovites, but the burial is currently possible only in family or related graves. For celebrities with merits in front of the country, exceptions are made.

Novodevichie - the cemetery, where Yuri Nikulin is buried, as well as such outstanding personality, like V. Mayakovsky, M. Bulgakov, N. Gogol (writers); I. Dunaevsky, D. Shostakovich, A. Scriabin (composers); L. Orlova, L. Gurchenko, A. Rikin (actors); N. Khrushchev, V. Molotov, A. Mikoyan (political figures) and others.

Funeral Y. Nikulina

Nationally love for artist was so great that all church canons had to break. Nikulina betrayed the Earth not on the third, but on the fifth day - August 26. Farewell lasted as many as three days, and wishing to visit the circus building, where the mourning event passed, did not reduce.

The coffin of the artist was put up in the arena, and every evening the body was taken to the morgue to deliver the next morning again. A rim from thousands of people occupied the entire color boulevard and wrapped on the garden ring. Despite this, there were many fans who did not have time to spend on the last path of the famous artist. It was important for them to know where Nikulin was buried to go to the grave.

How to find burial

For an outstanding artist, the best place was allocated, so it is not difficult to find celebrity grave. You must log in to the cemetery through the main entrance and go through the central alley. The landmark will serve as an area where mourning events and rallies are held. Here must be collapsed.

The grave where Nikulin was buried, you can immediately learn on the monument. It is a figure of a sitting artist, made of bronze and installed on a low pedestal. The latter is made in the form of a granite border. Such can be seen in the park or on the waterfront. Yuri Vladimirovich sits not on him, but on a carelessly abandoned raincoat. In front of him the bronze figure of the underlying dog.

The composition touches everyone who came to the place where Nikulin was buried. It has something piercing and tight heart. Perhaps this is simplicity of sculpture. The artist seemed to smoke, he looks pretty tired and a bit detached. In his pose and clothing there is no strife and high polhood, we have an ordinary person in front of us, how the audience loved him.

Simple mortals at the Novodevichy cemetery do not bury. Almost immediately after the revolution, it began to be buried exclusively "persons with the public situation", and not residents of Khamovnikov as before. Now, after the appearance, the graves of Yeltsin became immediately clear that the cemetery became a state necropole No. 1 instead of Red Square.

To begin with, I want to show the graves of the 1990-2000, in which the Soviet and Russian cultural figures rest. When I looked at these burials, clearly understood one thing. People lying in these graves - the last generation of our compatriots who are definitely and descoles are a cultural avant-garde and the elite of Russia. Tikhonov, Yankovsky, Nikulin, SENKEVICH - these are nationwide favorite characters whose talents are indisputable. Sooner or later, artists and thinkers of the following generations will begin to appear here, among which the people uniting the people will be found impossible. Now the difference in the views of the inhabitants of our country is now about what is a real culture. And who is her true carriers, and who is just boors and a hypocrite.

The number of fresh graves in the very new part of the cemetery, which appeared in the 1980s, suggests serious thoughts.

In 2007, the US President's managing agents Vladimir Skin after the funeral of Mstislav Rostropovich said: "Mstislava Rostropovich's grave at the Novodevichy cemetery probably the last. More there is no place there. " But what we saw was evidenced by the fact that the skin was wrong.

Oleg Ivanovich Yankovsky (February 23, 1944 - May 20, 2009). He rests here not only as an undoubtedly a great actor. In recent years of life, he dwells here nearby. On the Komsomolsky Prospect.

A rather strong impression on me was made by the tombstone of Yuri Vladimirovich Nikulina (December 18, 1921 - 21, 1997). Smoking pensive man in a hat. Immediately I remember that this man played not only the Balbes at Gaidai. He has roles in the "Andrei Rublev" and "Chuckers". Nikulinu has a rizenshnauzer - his first dog, which artist brought from abroad.

The author of sculptural sculpture - A.I. Handshes. He created and others are very decent in my opinion of the sculpture. For example, a monument to Alexander II at the Chistus of Christ the Savior or the Fagoto and Kotu Hippo on the new Arbat. In addition, he is the author of the monument to Nikulin on the Color Boulevard and the tombstone of Vysotsky on the Vagankovsky cemetery.

But Mikhail Alexandrovich Ulyanovna (November 20, 1927 - March 26, 2007) got a rather official tag. It is rather reminiscent of the graves of a nearby number of politicians and party functionaries than brothers in the acting workshop. In my opinion, the back of the monument, which should symbolize the curtain of the Wahtanov theater more like a red Soviet Kumach.

Clara Stepanovna is Greko (July 1, 1925 - March 26, 2005). The actress received the Stalinist award for the role in the "Kuban Cossacks", and then an apartment in the best 1950-X-high-speed house on the Kotelnichesky embankment. Now she rests on the main cemetery of Moscow.

Rolan Antonovich Bulls (November 12, 1929 - October 6, 1998). On the modest tombstone of the artist, the ruble "Trinity" is depicted. It seems that this is a reminder of the role in the "Andrei Rublev" Tarkovsky. The actor rests at all near his partner on "served two comrants" Yankovsky.

And under the end of this selection, two great journalists. Which were more than just representatives of this profession ... to the professional consistency of these Dudes, in my opinion, there are no complaints from anyone.

Yuri Aleksandrovich SENKEVICH (March 4, 1937 - September 25, 2003). It is not very clearly seen in the photo that in the tombstience there is an element - the boat "RA". That on whom he traveled with a tour Heyerdal. After the news of the Norwegian death, Yuri Senkevich had a heart attack, from which he could not recover. It feels that these people have shown heroic supranational friendship on their example. This happens rarely.

Sculptor - Yuri Chernov, Architect - V. Bukhaev. Yuri Chernov is directly specializing in travelers. He made the sculptural portraits of Vitus Bering, Furside Nansen in Armenia (1989), Tour Heyerdal, Yuri Senkevich and Fyodor Konyukhova.

Artyom Henrikhovich Borovik (September 13, 1960 - March 9, 2000). Pretty strange, for my taste, design with incomprehensible symbolism. The monument is simply a giant even against the background of a rather big tombstones of this elite necropolis.

Yuri Nikulin was born on December 18, 1921 in the city of Smolensk. After graduating from school in 1939, by the decree of the Universal Military duty, went to serve in the army. Participated in the Finnish War, passed the whole of the Great Patriotic War , defended Leningrad, dismissed the Baltic States, was contused in 1943.

After discharge in August 1943, Nikulin was sent to the 72nd separate anti-aircraft division under Kolpino. Was demobilized in May 1946 in the rank of senior sergeant; During the war, the medals were awarded For courage"(Originally was presented to the Order of Glory III degree)," For the defense of Leningrad"And" For the victory over Germany».

In 1956, he became a diploma of the All-Union Competition of Circus Artists in the Clowning genre. Since 1958 starring in the cinema. Among the few dozen films, in which Yuri Nikulin was shot as " Barbos dog and unusual cross", "Operation "s" and other adventures of Shurik", "Caucasian captive, or new adventures of Shurik", "Seven old men and one girl", "The Diamond Arm", "They fought for their homeland", "Twenty days without war", "Andrei Rublev"...

(Yuri Nikulin, George Burkov and Vasily Shukshin in the film "They fought for their homeland")

Nikulin stopped acting when he was 60 years old, in 1981, and moved to the position of chief director of the circus on color boulevard. Since 1982 Nikulin - Director of the Circus.
In 1997, Yuri Vladimirovich created a charitable foundation " Circus and mercy»To help veterans and young circus artists.

Yuri Vladimirovich Nikulin died on August 21, 1997 after the operation on the heart , buried at the Novodevichy Cemetery (plot number 5).

I could not find any data on whether Yuri Nikulin hired holy baptism. Most probably not. At least there is no cross on his grave, but only a monument ... and on the grave of his parents at the Don Cemetery too:

(Parents of the People's Artist of the USSR Yuri Nikulina (1921-1997). Urns with ashes are buried in the Sarcophage Columbaria 2a of the Don Cemetery.)

By this, leaving everything to God's court, let's hope that a person who fought for our homeland is not only in a wonderful film, but also on the most terrible war of recent times and fought courageously, the Lord will have a special mercy.

And we will be happy to remember this kind person - the sad comedian comedian .

Biography

Yury Nikulin is one of the favorite actors of the country, the director of the circus, honored clown with an impeccable sense of humor and an open-hearted heart. Nikulina's biography is a human life history, sincerely loving his family, his work and his fans.

Yuri Vladimirovich Nikulin was born in the city of Demidov, in the family of theater actors. Nikulina's birthday - December 18, 1921. He also moved to Moscow to Moscow, where he was playing in a school drama, which he led his father. After school, Yuri was called up to the army and, did not have time to demobilize, in 1941 he went to the front. Collectants always praised Nikulina's comic talent, which was convinced of his thoughts - it is necessary to enter theatrical. But in Vgika, the future People's Artist of the USSR refused sharp shape - "In you, of course, something is, but for the movie you are not coming." They did not take it into a number of other institutions, schools and studios, until finally, he did not enter the studio at the Noginsky Theater, where, however, he stayed for a long time, running into the clown studio at the Moscow State Circuit. Already two years later, Nikulin performed on the Maneza of the circus, after becoming an assistant of his beloved himself - at that time - the clown of the country, a pencil. It was there, in the circus, he met his future wife, Tatiana, who came to look at the troupe rehearsal, and became a witness of an accident - the horse attacked Nikulina and the artist had to be taken to the hospital, where the girl became visiting. After recovering Nikulina, young people got married and lived in marriage for almost 50 years.

It was Tatyana who pushed Nikulina doubters to his first role in the cinema - "Just play yourself!". The image of a simple guy in the episodic role of Nikulina in a "girl with a guitar" immediately loved by the Soviet spectators, and the role was followed by one for one - "Moonshoes", "Operation" S "and other adventures of Shurik", "Caucasian captive". The scenario of the immortal "diamond hand" was already specifically written under Nikulin. At the same time, the artist was not limited to comedy roles - one of his best works was the game in the dramatic picture "When the trees were big." In early 70s, the actor received a nationwide love, which, however, did not affect his character - he remained the same simple and responsive man who was to popularity, never refuse to help friends and colleagues.

Yuri Nikulina's biography is closely connected with the Moscow State Circus, whose director it has become in 1982. It was under Yuri Nikulin "Circus received his second life, surviving the global reconstruction. Now the circus is headed by the son Nikulina, Maxim. But with all his characteristic Nikulin, he never considered himself a great clown nor a great artist. Quote Nikulina in one of his last interviews: "I'm already lying about me, they write:" Great Clown ". It's about me. But what's the "great" when the clowns were better than me. " A few months after the interview, in August, the actor suffered an operation on the heart, during which his stop was happening, which caused the defeat of the organs. For Nikulina experienced the whole country. The operation was simple and planned. Nikulin was confident that he would quickly go to the amendment, but at the very last moment the vessel closed and the heart stopped. The resuscitation immediately began, but during the time Nikulin was in a state of clinical death, all organs were injured - the kidneys, the brain, the liver. Doctors fought for the life of the actor for 16 days, not leaving him, but, alas, and could not save him.

The death of Nikulina came on August 21 at 10 hours 16 minutes. August 26, Yuri Nikulina funeral. Nikulina's grave is located on the Novodevichy Cemetery.

Episodes of life

In the circus, Yuri Nikulina led his father, in childhood. Then the little Jura and decided to become a clown. Somehow, in the children's mascara, he decided to portray clown and, when his speech began, immediately fell on the floor, remembering that the clowns do. Nobody laughed. Nikulin repeated the trick several times, but he failed to cheer the public.

Mom Yuri Nikulina, with which he always had warm relations, initially objected to the decision of the Son to become a clown. But the father supported the actor, saying: "Let Jura risk. You can experiment in the circus. Work is a bad edge. If he finds himself - promotes. And in the theater? There is too much tradition, everything is known, complete dependence on the director. In the circus, the artist itself determines a lot. " In the first speech, Nikulina as a clown of Mom was very shot and even burst out.

When the commercial director of the circus on Color Boulevard, Mikhail Sedoy, was killed in 1992, Yuri Nikulin handed his son, Maxim. Somehow Eldar Ryazanov asked Nikulina: "Yura, and after the murder of a colleague was not scary to put on this place of her son?", To which he, without thinking, replied: "And why should I apply someone else's son?" .

Tatiana Pokrovskaya all his life was a close friend of Nikulina, working including his assistant in the circus. Nikulin said: "Tatiana, my wife. I always listen to her advice. Tanya is my only wife. I always nervous when Tanya is sick. I always enjoy when Tanya has a good mood. How are you, girl? I say this phrase all my life, addressing Tanya. "
