Oleg Tabakov and Marina Zudina

Gray in the beard, and the devil in the rib

Unequal marriages, about which the people say "gray hair in a beard, a devil in a rib," happened periodically in Soviet cinema. Even if not as often as in the post-Soviet period, it did happen. Moreover, almost every decade had its own "loud" unequal marriage. For example, in the early 60's it was the union of director Ivan Pyriev and actress Lionella Skirda, where the difference between the spouses was 37 years. In the 70s, the marriage of director Vladimir Naumov and actress Natalia Belokhvostikova fell into this category with an age difference between the spouses of 24 years. And in the last decade of the existence of the USSR, the most "blatant" unequal marriage was the acting union in the person of Oleg Tabakov and Marina Zudina, in which "the demon hit the first in the ribs" at the moment when he was 47 years old, and his chosen one was barely over 17. That is, the age difference was 30 years. However, as you know, all ages are submissive to love. It is this particular love that will be discussed in our next chapter. However, not only about her, because before her, Tabakov had many years of love with another woman who gave him two children. However, let's talk about everything in order.

The first serious feeling came to Tabakov in 1955, when he was a 1st year student at the Moscow Art Theater School. His chosen one was fellow student Susanna Serova (1934). But since she was married at that time (her husband was at that time in China - he taught the local residents to play the piano), Tabakov's feelings were purely platonic. He himself recalls:

“During the first years of my studies, I dealt mainly with the problems of love. I was lucky from the very beginning: I ended up in a wonderful intelligent Moscow family of the descendants of the artist Serov - I studied on the course with Susanna Serova. And when I fell seriously ill, they brought me to this very house, where I stayed until the end of my studies, that is, for almost two years. The family treated the sick Saratov boy with sympathy and tenderness. The artist Serov's granddaughter, Olga Aleksandrovna Khortyk, was my moral educator (she was in her early forties at that time). But not annoyingly boring, but a kind of friend. Perhaps Olya didn’t deliberately come up with the idea to defuse the “suicide pistol”, that is, to save her brother’s wife from a young boy in love in such a strange way. But the deed was done, and since then I have lived for several years in a house on Bolshaya Molchanovka, 18. Olga did an amazing amount of work to make me a man. This was expressed in the fact that in one of the rooms there was a painting "The Rape of Europe", and in how we traveled with her to Abramtsevo and Arkhangelskoye, and in how she taught me to go to the conservatory. The first times I fell asleep, and then I stopped. I did not fall asleep on Richter. I could not ... "

The first glory to Tabakov was brought by his roles in the Sovremennik theater, which was born in April 1956 with the play Forever Alive, where he had the role of Misha.

What was he like in the 50s? Here is what his theater colleague I. Kvasha recalls: “Tabakov loved to eat in those years too. Oh, it was not love, but real passion ... He always made supplies. Even when he did not have an apartment and rented a room. And we, always hungry, raided them. It happened like this: we entered his room. 2-3 people were holding him, and someone was looking for supplies under the closet, behind the closet. Found. They got it out. They opened it before his eyes. And all this was being devoured before his eyes. He yelled at us (it's scary when a loved one is taken away). Only after that was he released. He always had delicious compotes and canned food.

And once on tour, Efremov fell ill. They sent him honey with lemon and something else delicious. And since Efremov could not get up, every day Tabakov came to his room, opened the closet and in front of the patient's eyes began to eat this "healing". Oleg shouted: “Go away, leave it, my mother sent it to me,” and Lelik (as we called him), munching and savoring, ate a few spoons and left. Then he came the next day.

I must say that he had terms, the main of which was quality and poor quality food. Sometimes you ask: "Lelik, is there quality food in this restaurant?" There was no doubt about the accuracy of the answer ... ”.

In the late 1950s, Tabakov had an affair that could drastically change his fate: the daughter of ... one of the members of the Politburo fell in love with him. The girl turned out to be an inveterate theater-goer, went to all the performances of the Sovremennik Theater, which was then fashionable, and as a result fell in love with Tabakov, as they say, head over heels. But he was frightened of this connection. And as a result, he exchanged the daughter of a "bump" for a completely ordinary artist Lyudmila Krylova (1938), who soon became his wife.

Krylova then studied at the Shchepkin Theater School and was in love with Tabakov no less than the daughter of a state official. For a long time, the girl slept and saw how to get to know the object of her sighs. The occasion presented itself in 1958, when the second director from Mosfilm, Irina Poplavskaya, called Krylova and ... However, let's listen to the actress herself, who begins her story from afar:

“I had a difficult childhood. Mom died in 1947. I was not nine. I did not understand that my mother was gone forever, she was waiting for her for a long, long time. Then I began to think about what this world is, how to live without loved ones ...

Our family was poor. There are few books in the house, and I went to the reading room every day. I decided to go to the theater after one of the school graduates was able to enter the Schepkinsky school. I thought: what if I try? ..

And - entered the drama club of the Palace of Culture "Pravda" ... Once I saw a poster there - an invitation to a performance of the "Sovremennik" studio. You see, it is as if someone is leading me through life ... And so I go to this performance. And I desperately fall in love with him (Tabakov. - Auth.). The thought that I will definitely get to know this person someday has become my guiding line for several years! I believe that if you want something badly, it will happen. Happened, but not immediately.

First, I graduated from the tenth grade. I entered Shchepkinskoye - the course was recruited by Veniamin Ivanovich Tsygankov, fortunately for me, he staged Gorbatov's play "One Night" at the Maly Theater, and he needed a boy who looked like the main character. I looked like her, and the director literally guided me through the entrance exams ...

This is how my work at the Maly Theater began, my studies. And soon - and filming in the film "Stories of Lenin" (1958), after which the path to the cinema was open to me ... I was wildly tired, but continued to go to the performances of Sovremennik, and the thought of meeting Tabakov did not let go, the love did not pass.

When I was invited to star in the film "Volunteers" and was told that Tabakov would play one of the roles, I rushed to the studio and asked: "Where is Tabakov?" The assistant replies: "Tabakov refused, I didn't like the script." I was upset, but I had to act. Then the director Irina Ivanovna Poplavskaya calls: "Lyusenka, I have such a fastidious actor in the lead role, he cannot find a partner, he doesn't like everyone, maybe I'll show him your photo."

I answer that I can not act - exams and work in the theater. But then she casually said that this actor Tabakov (!). My tongue is stuck to my palate! I got excited, I said: “I have only one photo test for the film“ Stories about Lenin ”, I am wearing a scarf like that on it…” The director soon calls a happy one: “Lyusya, he looked at your photo and said:“ This one will probably do. ”

What happened to me! Everything inside was trembling! I ran from the filming of "Peers" to another pavilion along the stairs, a handsome man blocked the way: "Are you coming to me?" I recognized him as the then star of Kozakov, but tore off his hand: "No, not to you!" - and rushed into the dressing room.

As I remember now - an empty dressing room, a woman in a white robe stands with her back, a man sits in an armchair, I see his reflection in the mirror and almost fall! Knees trembled, teeth chattered. The make-up artist says: "Wait, I'll finish with Tabakov, I'll take care of you." And me: "Ho-ho-good!" It's like beating me! I have never experienced such a feeling!

During filming, I got this condition as soon as I met his eyes.

The director says: "Now, Lyusenka, we will shoot your close-up, and you, Oleg, stand under the camera and give your remarks." I almost screeched: “Don't! I can't play anything with him at all! "

The director was surprised. Tabakov was asked to leave ... But our romance began almost on the very first night!

And this despite the fact that I was the most modest on the course! I had a gentleman, we accompanied him arm-in-arm. But it ended on the highest note! That is, no one else existed. And when that young man came to me again, I closed the door in front of him: "Sorry, I got married." I just blurted out that phrase!

Some four days have passed since we met Tabakov! He rented a room in the center (rented for a small fee from Maria Arnoldovna Arnazi, the sister of Tikhon Khrennikov's wife. - F.R.). I stayed with him overnight, that is, there were no longer any obstacles for me. At the institute, of course, everyone found out. My teacher tried to persuade me: "Lyusenka, you will regret it, it's too early, don't need it, my dear ..."

My impulse was so strong that Tabakov, with his apparently already quite rich experience in this regard, could not and probably did not want to resist. Why not? After all, no one suspected that our romance would drag on for so long ...

To the father's question: "Where do you sleep?" - Said: "Dad, I got married."

He wondered: "Why don't we know him ?!" In short, she brought Tabakov. We sat at the table. And I say: "Dad, meet me, this is my husband." Tabakov later said that he almost slipped under the table. He asked: "How could you say that ?!" - "And how could I say otherwise, if you and I live!" - "But we are not scheduled." - "I didn't say that we were scheduled, I said that you are my husband." - "And if we part?" - "So, we will consider that we are divorced." Such naivety lived in me! .. "

Tabakov was in no hurry to sign even when Krylova became pregnant. It happened at the end of 1959. Lyudmila then handed over her graduation performance and, so that the examiners did not see her pregnancy, she covered her stomach with a folder. On July 11, 1960, a boy was born, whom his parents named Anton. Moreover, Lyudmila gave birth to him in her husband's homeland, in Saratov.

L. Krylova recalls: “When it seemed to me that labor had begun, Oleg's mother and I (she worked as a doctor. - F.R.) went on foot to the hospital. They put me down, there was a continuous fight, but I won't be born in any way (Antoshka turned out to be big-headed). Spoons and forks were removed from me, because I was ready to rip myself open - such a pain! And on the third day some trainee came up to me. I told him: “Move away, I'm dying! Yes, yes, the waters have receded! "

And he keeps asking: "Well, how much: a tablespoon, a glass?" I howled: “I measured, or what ?! Well, probably half a glass. "

He made such eyes! I ran somewhere and then pierced the fertile place with forceps ... And rapid labor began ... Then I could not sit for a month and a half - the pelvic bones diverged by one and a half centimeters. Because of these postpartum complications, she could not go to her husband in Moscow. And Oleg could not read my letters, because I wrote and cried, and the ink blurred ...

Oleg bought a stroller for his son in Moscow, but did not know how to send it. Antoshka slept in my suitcase. I woke up at night with fear - I was afraid that the lid would close and he would suffocate. And the communal apartment was full of cockroaches, and I was afraid that the cockroach would crawl into the baby's ear!

Mom Tabakova stoically endured everything: she cooked, and was engaged in diapers ... "

As soon as Krylova and her newborn son returned to Moscow (it was September 1960), Tabakov took Lyudmila to the registry office (it was located next to the Forum cinema).

The young people celebrated the wedding in the WTO restaurant, invited all their friends and colleagues to it (it was another wedding in the newly founded Sovremennik theater, where Yevgeny Evstigneev and Galina Volchek, as well as Oleg Efremov, Igor Kvasha, had already married. By the way, Krylova entered his troupe in the same 60 m). The bride appeared before the eyes of the groom and the guests in a not entirely traditional way: she was carried out in a huge box, like a doll. It was not difficult to do this - Lyudmila was so tiny that she could easily fit in the box. The bride was wearing a white lace dress, which she had made herself, and a veil.

At first, the young lived with Krylova's parents on Pravda Street. The ancestors blocked their room with a wardrobe, and one part of the dwelling went to the newlyweds. Since all the adults in the family worked (Tabakov and Krylova, for example, had 20 performances a month), the newborn was left with a nanny. When Anton was about a year old, the young people moved to another place - to a one-room apartment with a balcony in a house on Nesterov Street.

At that time, the young continued to play together in Sovremennik, and also acted in films. Moreover, the palm in the latter was firmly held by Oleg Tabakov, who in the first half of the 60s starred in eight films, where he had three main roles (Sasha Egorov in "Probationary period", 1961; Oleg Savin in "Noisy Day", 1961; Nikolai Babushkin in Young Green, 1963), while his wife had four films and no leading roles. In two films, the couple starred together: in "Young Green" (in it Krylova played the role of the wife of the main character, whose image was embodied by her husband) and "The Living and the Dead" (1964; Tabakov had the role of senior lieutenant, Krylova - military doctor Tatyana Ovsyannikova).

In the summer of 1965, the entire troupe of "Sovremennik" was filmed in the homeland of Tabakov, in Saratov, in the film "A Bridge Is Being Built" by G. Egiazarov and O. Efremov - about young builders of a bridge across the Volga. Tabakov had the role of a trainee from the construction school Zaitsev, Krylova - the role of the Komsomol organizer of the bridge detachment Nadia Seryogina. Returning from filming, in the same autumn, Krylova became pregnant with her second child from Tabakov. Nine months later - on May 3, 1966 (exactly three weeks before the premiere of the film "The Bridge Is Under Construction") - a charming girl was born, who was named by the male name of Alexander. A month later (!) Lyudmila ventured to take the newborn with her to the dacha (she and Galina Volchek rented a house in Saltykovka in half). There the girl caught a cold, and Lyudmila had to give her injections herself.

Much help in raising children was provided by Tabakov's neighbor in Saratov, Maria Nikolaevna, whom everyone called Kolavna. O. Tabakov recalls:

“Once Maria Nikolaevna was going to die. She bought a shroud, white slippers and called me. “Here,” she said, “there’s a savings book, here’s the money you’ll bury me with.” I was offended and said that I had money and that I would bury her and so ... And at that time Lucy gave birth to Sasha. The small, helpless creature needed care. Kolavna got up and began to live, having lived another nine years, until Sasha went to second grade. These are the kinds of things. Kolavna was such a cement mortar, or something, of our house. The family began to crumble after her death in the seventy-fifth ... "

In 1965, Tabakov had a heart attack, after which the doctors thought of banning him from acting altogether. However, already two (!) Months after being discharged from the hospital, the actor was already playing Aduev Jr. in IA Goncharov's "Ordinary History", losing one and a half kilograms of weight every evening (the premiere of the performance took place in 1966). In the same performance, Krylova also played - she got the role of Nadya Lyubetskaya.

In November 1967, this very performance of Sovremennik will be awarded the USSR State Prize.

In the same year, Tabakov was awarded the Prize to them. Moscow Komsomol for the gallery of images of young contemporaries and awarded the Order of the Badge of Honor. These were the first official awards in the creative career of our hero.

According to Tabakov himself, in 1967 he could well start a film career on a European scale (in the film of Karel Reisch, he was supposed to play Sergei Yesenin, in the role of Isadora Duncan - Vanessa Redgrave), but this did not happen. Why? That year, Sovremennik tried to close the Bolsheviks play, and he stayed in the Union to fight. The play nevertheless saw the light of day, but the European film career of our hero did not take place at that time. However, Tabakov did not begin to worry about this. I would like to note an interesting detail: in the late 1960s, of all the actors of Sovremennik, only four had their own Volgas. These people were: O. Efremov, O. Tabakov, I. Kvasha and M. Kozakov. The rest of the "contemporaries" drove at best in "Moskvich", at worst - walked.

In 1969, the Tabakovs played together in another play - "The Student" by A. Griboyedov: Tabakov had the main role there - a provincial student Benevolsky, Krylova - a pupil of the Zvezdovs, Varenka.

In the same year, their son Anton made his film debut. In the film almanac "The Four Seasons", in the novel No. 2 "The Fourth Pope", he played the main role - Sasha. According to the plot, the boy grows up without a father, his mother works in a hospital, so Sasha spends most of his time with the housekeeper Fenichka (Galina Yatskina). The boy really wants to have a father - he has already called three unfamiliar men dad. Once Fenichka is visited by the sailor Fedya (Alexander Yanvarev). Sasha does not leave him for a minute, which made Fenichka very angry, because she dreamed of this meeting for so long. Her face became completely different, she even tried to kick the boy out of the room. But the sailor also noticed the outbreak of anger: he quickly said goodbye and promised Sasha that he would definitely come back from sailing.

The film premiered on TV on January 4, 1969. At that time, Anton was 9th year old, he was in the second grade.

And in 1970, with the help of the same television, "An Ordinary Story" was filmed, where Anton played his second film role, albeit an episodic one.

In 1972, a children's adventure film "Property of the Republic" was released on the screens of the country. Oddly enough, but Anton, who was suitable for participation in this film by age, did not find a place there even in the episode, but his parents were "lit up" there: his father played the main role - Chekist Makar Ovchinnikov, and his mother played a small role of Nyura, a teacher in the orphanage.

After Oleg Efremov left Sovremennik for the Moscow Art Theater, Tabakov's official position reached new heights: he became a theater director (five years earlier, our hero had safely joined the ranks of the CPSU). It was not by chance that he was chosen for this position - everyone in the theater knew his adherence to principles and uncompromising attitude. Indeed, the new director punished idlers and hackers mercilessly. When one day Oleg Dal turned up drunk at a performance and could not go on stage, our hero immediately ordered to fire him.

Until the end of the 70s, the Tabakovs starred in two more joint films: TV / f "On the Eve of the Premiere" (1979; both have the main roles: Tabakov - the main director of the Youth Theater Nikolai Platov, Krylova - the actress of the Youth Theater Zinaida Balabanova), TV / f "Ah , vaudeville, vaudeville ... "(1979; both have the main roles: Tabakov is a retired warrant officer Akaki Ushitsa, Krylova is a servant Katenka).

In January 1977, Oleg Tabakov was awarded the title of People's Artist of the RSFSR. And his wife at that time did not have any title at all. Honored Artist of the RSFSR Krylova will become only in December 1982.

Meanwhile, on May 1, 1977 on the Central Television, the premiere of a two-part film directed by A. Blank and S. Linkov from the Odessa film studio "Timur and his team" by A. Gaidar took place, where the main role - Timur - was played by the son of the heroes of our story, Anton Tabakov. The film was released just at the moment when Anton was finishing 10th grade. He recalls his school years as follows:

“I was kept on prolongation until the last, after which I went home to rage in the yard. We lived then at the intersection of Gottwald and 2nd Tverskaya-Yamskaya Streets - exactly opposite the 10th police station, which did not prevent us from creating informal associations. Among us were guys, one of whose appearance terrified adults. I fully admit that one of them could become a famous thief in law. About 20 years ago, a guy of a rather specific appearance approached me on the street and began to hug me like an old acquaintance.

School remained in my memory as the most traumatic period of my life. At that time I gave my parents a lot of trouble, because all the time I was breaking something: legs, arms ... Once, falling off a rope, I broke my spine. In physical education lessons, everything was just fine, but during breaks! .. Endless injuries and even abdominal surgeries - this could shatter any nervous system. Mom was very worried, but father courageously bore the blows of fate.

Denis Yevstigneev and our tricks of stealing cigarettes from parents are also associated with this time. In the scarce 70s, the entire wall in the father's room was filled with a huge number of imported blocks. He himself was rather a dude with a cigarette in his mouth. In several films, including "Seventeen Moments of Spring", he appeared in the frame with "Camel", the blocks of which were stored in a "warehouse". What did we, heavy smokers, do? They took blocks from its "storage", carefully steamed cellophane over a boiling kettle, took out whole bundles, again carefully sealed everything and put it in place. For a long time, the father did not know about the theft; it was opened only when one of the boxes, completely empty, crumpled, and the wall, made up of cigarette blocks, as if made of bricks, collapsed. However, the punishment was not particularly cruel ... "

In addition, Anton Tabakov entered GITIS on the course of A.A. Goncharov.

In the 1980s, only one joint film by Tabakov and Krylova saw the light of day - the television film "Pechniki" (1983), where Tabakov played the role of the military commissar major, and Krylov - the director of the school, Maria Feodorovna. More spouses did not act together. Why? A story happened to Tabakov, about which the people usually say "gray hair in a beard, a devil in a rib." In short, he fell seriously in love at the age of 47.

In general, during his marriage with Krylova, he sometimes had love affairs. Basically, fellow artists acted in the role of his passions. As Tabakov himself notes, he "sinned on professional grounds." But there were also exceptions. So, once an American millionaire fell in love with him. Her grandmother left her a rich inheritance, which the woman decided to dispose of in a very original way: she was going to keep half for herself, and give the other to Tabakov so that he would open his own theater studio in the USA. The offer was very tempting, but our hero did not take advantage of it for a number of reasons.

Most likely, Krylova guessed about her husband's hobbies, but she preferred to close her eyes to this, putting the well-being of her children at the forefront. This went on for almost two decades. Until in 1981, a young entrant Marina Zudina (1965) appeared on the actor's life. She was born in Moscow into a family where dad was a journalist and mom was a music teacher. Marina's desire to become an actress appeared in high school. Moreover, her idol was Oleg Tabakov. She had liked him since childhood: to his voice, when he read Fifteen-Year-Old Captain on the radio, she did her homework. When after school Marina decided to go to acting, her mother told her: “Go to Tabakov! If he doesn’t accept you, don’t go to anyone else - it means that you’re a bad actress ”. The girl did just that. Realizing how difficult it is to get to such a teacher, Marina studied with a phoniator for a whole year before entering, developed a low register, since she had problems with her voice. A little later, the newspaper "Interlocutor" will publish the memoirs of Marina's classmate - a certain Olga Zoldina (surname has been changed), who will tell the following:

“… I found out that Marina got a job at the drama studio of Oleg Tabakov, which later became the famous“ Snuffbox ”. This studio was located in the basement, and classes were held there several times a week. Marina went there primarily because there was a good phonator in the studio, and she needed to put her voice on. This was her weak link, Marina did not know her voice at all and could not even say loudly: "Served to eat!" In general, she went there and came back all the time very late, after three in the morning. And then she confessed to me that she wanted to conquer Tabakov himself. The thought struck me as crazy. But she explained: “You know, he paid such attention to one girl from our group ... But not as an actress, but as a beautiful girl, you know? And then I thought: "How am I worse than her?" I understood how to deal with Oleg Pavlovich. " These are the adult thoughts Marina Zudina had at the age of 16. What kind of classmates are there already with their children's games and dreams of entering at least some institute or, at worst, a vocational school ... "

Zudina achieved her goal - during the exams at GITIS Tabakov drew attention to her (or it happened a little earlier - when she visited his "Snuffbox"). In his own words:

“Some kind of adultery of the previous part of my male life took place rhythmically, with a certain time cycle. But everything changed with the appearance of this chubby, dark-haired girl, who came to the Architect's House on Shchusev Street, where we auditioned for applicants for recruitment. Marina Zudina offered us her repertoire, crowned with a story about the misadventures of Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya. There was something strange about her. Even my bitter knowledge of the real story of Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya, as well as the completely unthinkable fate of her mother, who told about the end of her children Zoya and Shura, did not obliterate what this applicant was doing. Rather, on the contrary, the story about Zoya clearly demonstrated Marina's inner need and readiness to shed tears over fiction. This is the starting point for an actor, and any creator ... Marina was filled, how to put it ... with a hard-pressed desire to act in roles. Marina's indicators were good, although she was somewhat late in her birth. The circle of roles that are beneficial for her is in expensive, costume films ... "

In 1983 Tabakov's daughter Alexandra graduated from school. Like her brother Anton, she followed in the footsteps of her parents - she entered the Moscow Art Theater School (course of V. Bogomolov). Moreover, at school she was strong in mathematics, and everyone was sure of her admission to some technical university. Alexandra herself was guided by this. But at the very last moment she decided to become an actress, although she did not have much talent. As a result, she will not become an actress.

And her dad, in November of the same 1983, had an affair with her daughter's age, who was in her sophomore year at that time. The hardest thing was, of course, for the student. Let's listen to Tabakov:

“In our unkind theatrical world, she got it in full measure. Marina was helped to survive only by our mutual love - without this it would have been impossible to go through what she went through. Sometimes it was simply broken through the knee. The attitude to her was absolutely like a concubine: well, if you serve, so have your own, like any service ...

Of course, anything happened: at the dawn of our novel, Marina more than once wrote me letters summarizing our relationship after I consistently and logically tried to convince her that she needed to build her life without me ... And then it all started again.

I felt guilty before her and was convinced that I could never leave my children born in my first marriage. All this was a kind of legend, invented by me as a teenager, but I tried to follow it until I met Marina ... "

Zudina studied with Tabakov for five years (1981-1986). And during this time she managed to star in seven films, where she played two main roles. And her debut was the tape "Still I Love, Still I Hope" (1985), where she performed a small role of Peter's wife. And a year later she was taken on the main role in the picture "Valentine and Valentine". Moreover, the director of the film was Georgy Natanson, who in 1960 filmed Oleg Tabakov in the film "A Noisy Day". According to Zudina:

“My biggest success was when I played in the movie“ Valentine and Valentine ”. I was inundated with letters, and a sea of ​​letters were from places of imprisonment, prisoners wrote: "I'll come back and find you!" ( He laughs.) I cannot say that I am very pleased with this work of mine. I then had an affair, I understood that I could not be with my beloved, and I cried a lot. Although love is such a great happiness, and not just tears and worries, but I was crying. But all the same, the film turned out to be wonderful ... "

By the way, her teacher Tabakov also starred in two out of seven films with Zudina. These are: "After a Rain on Thursday" (1986; he had the role of Koshchei the Immortal, hers - Milolica) and in "The Journey of Monsieur Perrishon" (1987; there they had the main roles: Tabakov - Monsieur Perrishon, Zudina - Henriette ).

After graduating from GITIS in 1986, Zudina was taken by Tabakov to his studio theater - the so-called "Snuffbox", which was born in 1978 on Chaplygin Street. Naturally, there their romance continued safely. True, it was interrupted several times, but then resumed again.

At the height of these relations - in January 1988 - Oleg Tabakov became People's Artist of the USSR.

Tabakov finally figured out his love triangle only 10 years later - in 1993 he left his former family. It cost him a lot of work. The fact is that his father left him in childhood, so Tabakov knew very well what it was like to survive the divorce of his parents. His wife and children did not forgive him for this act and stopped all communication with him. And they did not comment on this in the press.

But Tabakov himself in April 1994 in an interview said the following: “Despite all my sins, novels, hobbies, I still returned to my stall. As a matter of fact, it can be said that lies never go unnoticed. She poisons life ...

For a long time it seemed to me that my wife and I would live for a long time and die in one day. I think I remember all the good things that we had. My wife did her best to get me on my feet when I had a heart attack (this happened in early 1965. - F.R.), and much more ... But ten years ago, our relationship soured. In our conflicts, which often reach the limit, she herself often said: "We need to disperse." Probably, it should have been done ten years ago. This is my fault in front of her.

The fact is that at some point it seemed to me that my loved ones did not respect what I was doing. Do not respect. They are familiar. I took my hard-living nephew to America to live there for a month, and from an introvert, perhaps, he would become a different person. I did it because I thought it necessary to do it. And my relatives were sure that it was window dressing. I help my cousin. They again say - "window dressing". It seems to my loved ones that there are only lackeys and sycophants around me. And only they, that is, close ones, are carriers of the truth about me, a truthful and sober look. But the only thing that I do not forgive people is rudeness towards my studies ...

I have always raised children by example. The way I lived. What was the main thing for me. But I was once told: “You will die alone. And in general, the apartment ... ”I am not saying whether this is good or bad. Perhaps this is the answer to the question of what place I occupied in the life of my loved ones ... "

And here is another excerpt from a March 1995 interview: “After I paid 120 thousand dollars in compensation to my ex-wife and bought a two-room apartment for my daughter, Alexandra Olegovna Tabakova, both are still registered in my house. This is not a very original story - purely soviet. There would be a marriage contract - and everything would immediately fall into place, and since there is no marriage contract, inadequate claims are born ...

Two months ago, we made up with our son and came to an agreement. Today we have normal relations. I am glad that he began to realize himself. In his first profession, acting, he did not fully realize himself.

Finding myself in his Pilot disco at the birthday party of my good friend Garik Sukachev, I discovered that my son brings joy to a huge number of people. They have fun there ... "

From an interview with M. Zudina: “I didn't think that we would be together. But it turned out that way, that is how the stars were laid. Even an astrologer told me that the fact that we met was fate. Once Oleg simply told me that he was divorcing his wife, and we did not comment on this. I don’t know how long my patience would last, I don’t think for twenty years, but ten was a natural term. An awful lot, though. Someone has been waiting for a year or two, but Oleg Pavlovich found such a fool who had been waiting for ten whole years ...

The only person to whom I confessed my love is Tabakov. I have no idea that I will ever be able to love so desperately. I can say with complete confidence that I have never loved anyone so much and no one will love me as much as my husband loves me ... "

In the summer of 1995, a boy was born to Tabakov and Zudina, who was named Pavel. At the time of the birth of his son, the father was next to his wife and held her hand all the time. He later explained his feelings from this action as follows: “A feeling of complete despair and inability to help a loved one. I will not wish this on the enemy. "

And further: “Today the sweetest thing for my soul is how my son Anton and I sat together and drank after the birth of Paul. Although Anton is 36, and this one is 10 days old. I was proud, I don't know how! As General Serpilin or as Captain Tushin, when he defended the battery. Children, grandchildren ... I have dreams about them. This means that I am returning ... "

Meanwhile, after the birth of the child, relations in the "star" family became more tense. This is how M. Zudina recalls this:

“I had a difficult period when I gave birth to a child, because my energy and emotional reserve was always enough for two, and after birth and strength it became less, and I suddenly realized that all the energy had passed to the child. On this basis, I was depressed for a whole year. I was so absorbed in the child that my husband moved away to unknown plan ... "

But the marriage of Tabakov and Zudina passed this test. Marina herself admits:

“I can firmly say:“ I love Oleg Tabakov ”. And if I felt like only an attachment to him, I would be notorious, I would withdraw into myself. But I know about the sincere feelings of my beloved and husband for me. And it calms me down, gives me a feeling of stability ...

Meanwhile, it is impossible to command Oleg Pavlovich. He will just be quietly silent and worried. According to the horoscope, he is a Leo, he does not tolerate explicit diktat and, as a rule, decides everything himself. Of course, I have my own voice, he listens to him, for him my opinion is not indifferent. But in something categorical, the last word belongs to him. Here we must take into account that I was largely formed by Oleg Pavlovich and I look at many things through his eyes. Therefore, we are on an equal footing in life, and no one commands us. We appreciate each other ...

By nature, Oleg Pavlovich is a cheerful and kind person. Especially in the morning, when the phone calls have not yet ruined his mood. From eight to ten, they usually call him, and conversations sometimes bring him to a boil. There is no time for fun. He tells me: "I must go through this now, do not touch me ..."

Sometimes I am offended that Oleg Pavlovich is not jealous of me. Or he is jealous, but does not show his weakness. True, then it can remind you of something in a joking manner. Apparently, he has such a character. I am more jealous, and this is inherent in me from birth. When we weren't married yet and just met, it was sometimes difficult for me to find out what was happening to him and what he thought about me, about my actions, about my behavior. And then my wisdom seemed to recede into the background, and emotions, coming to the fore, demonstrated jealousy, a sense of ownership ... "

Oleg Tabakov's son Anton in personal terms "surpassed" his father: he was married several times. He first married at the age of 19 a girl named Eugene. Their wedding was noisy, cheerful, but one of the guests, Nikita Mikhalkov, joked unsuccessfully, saying: "The first marriage is a training one, so let's go straight to the second." And the young soon really got divorced. Moreover, Evgenia herself and her mother were categorically against this, but Anton did it his own way.

Then Anton got married a second time. The girl's name was Asya, he had known her for a long time. But this marriage was short-lived. Evil tongues will later claim that Anton's childhood friend Mikhail Efremov played the role of the "tempter snake" - they say that he seduced Asya, who became pregnant from him. But the truth is that this happened after Asya and Anton fled. Although it was after this that the friendship of former friends came to naught.

A little later, a 17-year-old student of the Moscow Art Theater School Katya Semenova appeared on the horizon of the "star" offspring. But Anton did not sign with her - he preferred to live in a civil marriage. Katya finally gave birth to an heir to Anton - a son, Nikita. However, soon after the birth of the child, this couple also broke up.

In 1993, another girl appeared in Anton's life, the youngest of all the previous ones - 16-year-old Nastya Chukhrai (daughter and granddaughter of directors Pavel and Georgy Chukhrai). When the parents found out who was getting into their daughter's suitors, they categorically forbade Nastya to meet with Tabakov Jr. By that time, in the bohemian environment about Anton Tabakov, the bad reputation of a "womanizer-terrorist" had long been circulating. However, Nastya showed enviable perseverance, and in the end, the consent of her parents to marry her beloved was obtained. Soon the young had a daughter.

At the end of October 2003, the ex-wife of Tabakov, Lyudmila Krylova, broke her long silence. She gave a long interview to the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper, in which she said the following:

“I don't like betrayal. Betrayal is a very capacious word. It doesn't even mean treason, no. Betrayal is much deeper. I part with the traitors right away, whether they are friends, husbands or someone else ... But something happened to me that should have happened. Nobody is safe from divorce.

The only thing I wanted was for my divorce to be more human, because ... You see, it’s one thing if I were alone and divorced him alone, but I had to think about children who, perhaps, are even harder ...

But everything passes, and resentments pass. Forgive? Everything has long been forgiven. But not forgotten ... For ten years I have been living without a husband ... I have no regrets. I do not suffer from loneliness. Nothing has changed for me. Friends stayed with me. I have wonderful children, grandchildren! In the summer I leave for the village. I love the forest, mushrooms, nature ... I am happy that fate gave me such a life! "

By the way, Tabakov's daughter, Alexandra, still cannot forgive her father and does not communicate with him at all. True, her daughter Polina regularly comes to his theater, consults on various issues.

In February 2004, Oleg Tabakov gave an extensive interview to the Sobesednik weekly. I will cite from it only a few excerpts concerning his personal life:

“Am I greedy? Before life, yes. I call it the fullness of being. I have no material self-interest. I shoot for eight days with Istvan Szabo in Hollywood and receive a fee that is enough to replenish the family budget for a year and a half, or even two. Even my teaching in America is incomparable in terms of money with filming for Western directors ...

My physical condition is enough for work, for my wife, and for my youngest son. In the mornings I still wake up early, to recuperate I need five and a half hours of rest, no more. True, on the day of a difficult performance, one must sleep for an hour and a half after lunch. When there is nothing urgent and extraordinary, I fall on my side. Right in the office, next to the outhouse. Olga Semyonovna, my assistant, strictly protects my peace and sleep. If you manage to relax, it visibly affects the quality of the acting work ...

Previously, my amorous interests were renewed regularly and quite intensively. And then it cut off. Of course, you can make a certain trim for your advanced years: they say, there was a horse, but it went away; but this is all not true. Twenty years ago, when I met Marina, I was forty-eight years old, and this is not age for a real man. And today I am not ready to explain the change in the cyclical nature of the emergence of new female images on my horizon only by age restrictions. This is not the point. Apparently, after a long search, I still managed to find a person with whom it is good, warm, comfortable. Why, one wonders, in this case, look further? And emotionally, I feel great. This is largely facilitated by Pavlik, my youngest ...

We try to spend at least half an hour together in the morning. Before he left for school. But the problem of time, of course, exists ... The first child whom I, as they say, felt to the fullest, was Polina - a granddaughter, daughter of a daughter. In relation to her, I experienced, perhaps, the whole gamut of parental feelings, including those that I did not know with Anton and Alexandra ...

As for Pavlik ... I understand that it is not eternal, but I try not to dwell on such thoughts. Too painful topic. Although, on the other hand, how not to think about it? I constantly remember that I am 68 years old, and my son is eight and a half. I will help him as much as I can. But how much ... I seem to have good genetics, but here it is stupid and pointless to think. Life cannot be begged; in my opinion, until the very last breath, it should be like a prize, like a reward.

I'd like to teach Pavlik to be responsible for himself. I take my son seriously, I judge him, perhaps, even too harshly. Already now I recognize some of my features. We both get up in the morning in a good mood. Is always! Regardless of how the evening ended the night before, whether the sun is shining outside the window or it is raining ...

Despite my severity, Pavlik is not deprived of affection and warmth. I try to spend as much time with him as possible, that's why I always take with me on trips and on tours ... "

In April 2006, Tabakov and Zudina had a second child - daughter Masha (named after Tabakov's mother). Five months later, she was baptized in the same church that Pasha Tabakov had ten years ago - Fyodor Stratilat. Close friends of the family - Sergei Glinka and Larisa Novikova (she baptized Pasha at one time) became the godparents of the girls.

In 2012, the son of Tabakov and Zudina Pavel graduated from school. And, of course, he continued his studies with his father - he entered the Moscow theater school of Oleg Tabakov. By the way, on the professional stage, Pavel made his debut at the age of 15 in the play "Lunar Monster" at the Moscow Art Theater. AP Chekhov, who is led by ... again, his parent. Everything is as in that old joke. The son asks his military father: "Dad, will I be the captain?" “You will, son,” the father replies. "And the major?" - "You will." - "And the colonel?" - "You will." "Well, and what about the general?" - "But this, son, no - the generals have their own children."

On March 12, 2018, at the age of 83, Oleg Tabakov died. The actor's wife, 52-year-old Marina Zudina, was with him for more than 30 years and until his last breath.

People's Artist of the USSR Oleg Tabakov will forever remain in our memory and in the hearts of millions of fans, but it’s hardly harder for someone today than for his wife and children. Oleg Pavlovich did not like to share the details of his personal life. He did not flaunt his relationship with his wife Marina Zudina, whose age difference was more than 30 years. Several years ago, Marina herself in an interview with "Komsomolskaya Pravda" talked about what a difficult path their love went through.

Zudina admitted that in her youth she dreamed of studying with Tabakov, he was her idol. On the eve of exams at GITIS in his workshop, she read a prayer and asked God to help. Everything worked out, Marina Zudina became a student of Oleg Tabakov.

The affair with Oleg Pavlovich, according to Marina, she had a premonition long before it began. It was like an inspiration, it just occurred to her that she and Tabakov would one day be sure to be together. Marina recalls how she once said to her husband: “It’s interesting: I first fell in love with you, and then I had some kind of desire. And you, probably, first had wishes addressed to me! "

Zudina and Tabakov began dating when the actor was still married. Marina did not want to destroy the family, loved unselfishly, did not demand anything and did not play on the feelings of a man.

“Maybe for my patience, for living the way my feelings suggested, God is merciful to me. The Lord God is a great director, and he puts everything in its place, ”shared Marina Zudina.

The actors' secret romance lasted 10 years. All this time Marina was there and supported Oleg Pavlovich. As the artist admits, she did not even hope that Tabakov would leave his family. She waited for a person to appear who could "interrupt" her feelings. But just at the very moment when she decided to break off this relationship, Tabakov divorced his first wife. Zudina believes that this is fate. Perhaps Oleg Pavlovich realized that the woman he loved could leave, which is why he decided on radical changes, or maybe he was just tired of living in two houses.

Zudina recalls what she said then to Tabakov: “You got divorced not because of me! On the other hand, if it weren't for me, you probably wouldn't have gotten divorced! "

The actress said that Oleg Pavlovich was not emotional, he was in no hurry to talk about feelings, he believed that everything was clear: “He did not even confess his love to me for the first time. It turned out like this: we were sitting in the car, and I said something to him, and he told me: ‘What are you saying, I love you!’ ‘That is, there was not even a confession, but a response to my emotional speech. He thinks it goes without saying that he loves me. " Marina Zudina was so shy in front of the actor that for the first few years she did not call him by name.

The actress calls the greatest happiness the moment when their son Pavel was born. A newborn baby was brought to her, and Tabakov stood at the window and looked at them. It was an absolute union of loving people. Then Tabakov and Zudina got married. Marina recalls that during the celebration, a double rainbow appeared in the sky. A little later, the couple had a daughter, Maria.

Of course, the life of the spouses did not go as smoothly as we would like. Experiences due to the age difference, public condemnation - all this left its mark. However, love won, and Marina Zudina remained with her husband until his very last breath.

The 53-year-old actress looks 30!

In Moscow, prominent figures of the theater gathered for the ceremony of presenting the International STANISLAVSKY Prize. This year it was timed to coincide with the 155th anniversary of the founder of the world's most famous theater school, whose favorite phrase was: “I don’t believe!”

The prize in the category "Property of the Russian Theater" was presented for the first time this year. The artistic director of Lenkom became its laureate Mark Zakharov... As you know, the 85-year-old director has been struggling with a serious illness for several years now and, although it is difficult for him to walk without assistance, he found the strength to go on stage:

I'm a longtime filmmaker, and a longtime filmmaker needs to know what he did and what gave him a chance. I have 50 to 50, - Mark Anatolyevich remarked sadly, receiving the prize.

One more laureate - Alexandra Filippenko- accompanied by his wife Marina:

She negotiates both about the filming and about my fees. I do not interfere with household details, I just need to know which car they will take me to the shooting and which one they will bring back. Everything else is handled by Marisha, - said Filippenko.

Received an award and Alla Demidova.

In the house where we are now, after the war, the military lived with their families - it was a large communal apartment, - Alla Sergeevna started to remember. - As a child, my children and I often played here in front of the entrance. I had the itch of primacy, and the children quickly got tired of it. Once they took me by the arms and legs and tried to throw me over the parapet of the Moscow River. But, thank God, they didn’t quit. Since then, I began to fear the collective. This is how I lived my life on the sidelines.

So at the awards, the 82-year-old actress kept herself apart, and right after the ceremony she hurried home, not even staying for the traditional banquet.


Good wife

53-year-old widow Oleg Tabakova Marina Zudina on the contrary, she talked sweetly and in a good mood with colleagues, who literally bombarded her with compliments. Like, she got younger and blossomed. And this is only eight months after the bereavement - the loss of her beloved husband.

It turned out that Zudin's work saved her. Offers are now pouring in on her one after another. She starred in the TV series The Good Wife, an adaptation of the American project Good Wife. Moreover, the role of co-owner of a law firm was her first film work in the past five years. And now Marina Vyacheslavovna starts filming in a new series Konstantin Bogomolov.

The son of Zudina and Tabakov Pavel last week appeared in a film in memory of Oleg Pavlovich, which was shot by a popular blogger Yuri Dud... He dwelled on the topic of the death of Tabakov Sr., who, as you know, died of prostate cancer.

The young artist admitted that his father had learned about the serious illness a long time ago and, despite the complexity of the situation, continued to work actively and enjoy life. To his sons Pavel and Anton (from marriage with Lyudmila Krylova) Oleg Pavlovich spoke about the fatal diagnosis even before Zudina found out about it.

How long has Oleg Tabakov lived with cancer? - Dud asked.


Denied Malakhov

The 77-year-old prima of the Russian Army Theater became a notable figure at the Stanislavsky Prize ceremony. Lyudmila Chursina... On the sidelines, she proudly told her colleagues that she had just flatly refused to participate in TV shooting at Andrey Malakhov... And she was loudly surprised:

I don’t understand why my colleagues are participating in these programs. Maybe they are paid money there ?!

When she opened her eyes that many people come to "Live", "Let them talk" and other similar shows are not free, but for a substantial fee, Lyudmila Alekseevna sadly shook her head:

Well then, it is clear. But as she said Ranevskaya, money is a doorway, but shame will remain. If I had been invited to a serious program, a political one, I might have gone. And I don’t want to take part in kitchen showdowns!

She herself spent the whole evening in easy communication with a new companion much younger than herself. The author of these lines was already glad for her beloved actress that she, who at one time was married three times, including the son of the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU Yuri Andropov, regained personal happiness. But when I called Lyudmila Alekseevna the next day to clarify the name of her mysterious gentleman, she thought for a long time, and then exhaled into the receiver:

Unfortunately, I can’t help you and I don’t remember his name. Someone is always hovering around me!

It all started with the fact that 16-year-old Marina was simply in love with Tabakov in absentia and dreamed of going to GITIS in his workshop. The girl did just that. Although at that time Tabakov was already married and had two children, this did not stop Marina. We would like to remind you that the couple had a 30-year difference in years.
Marina was very happy that Oleg left his first wife for her. Soon the couple had a son, Paul, in whom the parents doted. Later, Marina gave birth to Tabakova and a daughter.

Zudina's strong influence on her husband

It's no secret that Marina worked with her husband, but not everyone knows what kind of person she was. And after the death of her husband, her whole life in the theater began to be disclosed by the actors. The woman had a huge influence on her husband, almost all the appointments for the roles passed through her. If Zudina didn’t like the actor, they didn’t take him. If the production did not include her name, the performance was not staged. In the theater, the actress had her own informers. She encouraged flatterers and sycophants.

Disease and death of Oleg Tabakov


In November, the famous actor and director goes to the hospital. Without delay, he is taken to the intensive care unit of the first city, with suspected pneumonia. Under the long supervision of doctors, he is diagnosed with pneumonia, eyewitnesses claim that he will soon be discharged.


After that, another shocking news: he is connected to an artificial respiration apparatus. He is unable to communicate, but has retained a sense of direction. After the holidays, it becomes known that the actor is in a coma. His body was extremely weak and could not cope with even minor loads. But this was the official version of the disease. After her death, the woman decided to tell the whole truth about the death of her husband. In fact, for several years the actor has been struggling with a serious cancer. And in this regard, the body simply could not stand it, and the actor died.

Not a bad inheritance from her husband


After the death of the genius of Russian theater and cinema, rumors slowly began to spread about the actor's legacy. Indeed, Oleg Pavlovich had a lot of property and good fortune behind him. As it became known, his rather big property was completely inherited by Marina. He decided not to leave anything to his first wife, and journalists called the children from his first marriage independent. Maybe that's why the actor did not leave them anything. In fact, no one fully knows the amount of the inheritance. The figures differ according to various sources, someone says, this is about 250 million rubles. And some believe it is in the billions. But it is known for sure that he received about two million rubles a month, which allowed him to live comfortably and accumulate capital.


One unfurnished mansion on the Istra River was estimated by experts at 400 million rubles. This is without taking into account the exclusive furniture made to order from high quality materials. But not all of the actor's savings have survived. Some of the banks where he kept the money went bankrupt, and the actor lost everything that he had kept there for many years.

How Zudina lives and what does after the death of her husband: the latest news


After his death, the actress quickly came to her senses, and pulled herself together tightly. She took up her new project on the NTV channel in the new series "The Good Wife". Over the past five years, this was her first, but not the only job. In order not to interrupt the achieved result, she began filming the series by Konstantin Bogomolov. Not so long ago, she starred in a new project based on Pelevin's novel, and for the first time in her life found herself on the same set with her son, Pavel Tabakov.


Recently, she began to spend more time with children. Her son lives separately, but very often stays with his mother. Daughter Masha is already 12 years old, she entered the seventh grade. On questions about her future profession, she is still silent. Masha is a versatile child, loves creativity and does not want to talk about her future profession yet. The girl still refuses to study and live abroad. The woman is sure: it is not necessary to study abroad for a better education, the most important thing is a person's soul.

On the eve of her birthday, the widow of Oleg Pavlovich Tabakov again found herself in the spotlight of the press: this time in connection with the issue of inheritance.

Marina Zudina turns 53 on September 3. For the first time in more than 20 years, the actress will celebrate her birthday without her husband. Oleg Tabakov left on March 12, 2018, six months before his 83rd birthday. How his closest people live now and how rumors about Tabakov's older children "deprived" of inheritance appeared - in the material.

Before the "silver" wedding was not enough two years

Marina Zudina met Oleg Tabakov very young: in 1981, right after school, she entered GITIS for his course, after graduation she was accepted into the troupe of Tabakov's studio theater. The romance between the young actress and the master, rumors about which very quickly spread in the cinema and theater crowd, was not prevented by either the 30-year age difference or the fact that Oleg Tabakov was married.

He was married to actress Lyudmila Krylova for almost 35 years, they divorced in 1994 - and a year later Tabakov married Zudina. As he himself once emphasized, this marriage "was preceded by 12 years of serious relationship." They said that the actor did not leave the family because of the children: he was waiting for them to grow up. He perfectly remembered how painful it was for him, 12-year-old, when his father, upon his return from the war, brought a new family.

In August 1995, Oleg Tabakov and Marina Zudina had a son, Pavel, the couple really wanted more children, but for a long time this was impossible due to health problems that appeared in Marina. Only in 2006, 71-year-old Oleg Pavlovich became a father for the fourth time: on April 7, his daughter Masha was born.

As the actor's widow later said, all these 20 plus years she felt under his protection, she was the only and beloved. For the sake of her love, the actress even resigned herself to the fact that, no matter what success she achieved in the profession, many would still talk about her only as “Tabakov’s wife”. Oleg Pavlovich, according to colleagues, also incredibly loved his second wife.

In 2004, the press tried to "dissolve" Tabakov and Zudina; many thought it strange that the master rehearsed too much time with his student Anastasia Skorik. Tabakov denied these rumors, said that all this is fiction, he did not leave his wife.

Dad will help us ...

Marina Zudina, after the death of Oleg Tabakov, promised that she would continue to live, always thinking about how her husband would act in her place. For forty days she kept mourning, did not appear at events. And even after their expiration, she continued to appear in public in black outfits.

In April, the actress appeared on the Snuffbox stage as Olga Knipper-Chekhova, the wife of the writer Anton Chekhov, in the play The Sun Rises, which Tabakov began to work on, but never finished. The audience applauded and cried.

When in August Zudina appeared at parting with Dmitry Brusnikin, many noted that after the death of her husband, the actress had lost a lot of weight. Zudina admitted that she was very grateful to Vladimir Mashkov, who took over the leadership of the theater. The actor, who was one of the most beloved and loyal students of Oleg Pavlovich, also very much supported his widow in the most difficult days.

Children give the artist great support, as Marina said, the most correct words after the death of Tabakov were found by their 12-year-old daughter. "We are strong. We will cope, we will live on, and dad will help us, ”the girl assured her mother.

During his lifetime, Oleg Pavlovich said that he felt a greater responsibility towards younger children than towards older children: he perfectly understood that he might not have time to see them become adults, start their own families.

The son of Oleg Tabakov and Marina Zudina continued the dynasty, 23-year-old Pavel Tabakov graduated from the Moscow Theater College, which bears the name of his father, now the young man plays in the theater, tries himself in cinema, one of his most notable works was the film "The Duelist", released in 2016 year. Soon two new projects with the participation of Oleg Tabakov's son are to be released - a drama about the life of modern youth "How I Became ..." and a historical adventure series "Tobol".

Outwardly, the young man becomes more and more like his famous father every year. 12-year-old Masha is still in school, she also once said that she wants to become an actress.

How Tabakov's children live from their first marriage

The eldest son of Oleg Pavlovich Anton turned 58 in July, he preferred the restaurant business to the acting profession, in which he was very successful. Not so long ago, he sold his business and moved with his family to Paris.

The eldest daughter Alexandra is 52 years old, she was married to a German citizen Jan Lifers, after a divorce from him she returned to Moscow, their daughter Polina, like her mother, graduated from the Moscow Art Theater School, although Tabakov's granddaughter chose the profession not of an actress, but of a theater artist.

If Anton Tabakov is considered a very wealthy person, then, according to rumors, the financial situation of Alexandra, to whom, as the press wrote, her ex-husband paid not only substantial alimony, but also maintenance, is not so enviable. She acted a little in films, at one time she worked on the radio.

Neither Oleg Pavlovich's first wife nor his daughter Alexandra ever appeared at the funeral ceremony. If the eldest son Anton Tabakov, who himself went through a divorce, eventually forgave his father, then his sister could not do this. They said that it was because of Zudina that Alexandra Tabakova defiantly left "Tabakerka" at one time.

After the death of Oleg Tabakov, the public wondered for a long time how the inheritance of the famous artist would be distributed. According to some data, it is about 220 million, according to others - at least 600 million. This is at least two Moscow apartments, a country house, several cars, bank accounts.

At the end of the summer, information appeared that the actor's will was finally announced. Allegedly, he left everything to Marina Zudina and the younger children, bypassing the older ones. The widow of Tabakov did not comment on these rumors in any way, as she did not comment on issues related to inheritance before.

Anton Tabakov, however, said that he was "very surprised" to learn from the media that he had allegedly visited a notary the other day. According to the restaurateur, everything related to the inheritance and will of Tabakov is a private matter of the family and should not concern outsiders.
