Love in spite of: the tragic story of the marriage of Tabakov and Zudina. Children of Marina Zudina The beginning of a creative life

When Oleg Tabakov left the family for his student Marina Zudina, who was thirty years younger than him, a whole storm of discussions and rumors arose around this event. His children reacted especially painfully to his father's departure from the family - daughter Alexandra, who was never able to finally establish relations with him, and son Anton, who eventually forgave his father and restored normal communication with him.

Over the seventeen years of Marina Zudina's life together with Oleg Tabakov, passions slowly subsided and the feeling of guilt before Tabakov's first family smoothed out. During this time, already joint children of Marina Zudina and Oleg Pavlovich - son Pavel and daughter Maria.

Marina gave birth to her youngest daughter nine years after the birth of her son - in 2006, when the actress was forty-one years old. Today, the eldest of the children of Marina Zudina, son Pavel, is already nineteen years old, and all the attention of parents is riveted to him, because at this age a person is actively looking for his own path in life. At the age of seventeen, Pavel entered the theater college opened by his father, but this does not mean that he will definitely become an actor - Zudina never wanted her children to follow in the footsteps of their parents in the future, because too much attention was riveted to them.

Since childhood, the actress has been trying to teach her children to a healthy lifestyle, and to teach only by her own example. She rejoices that Pavel is very close to his father - he travels a lot with him, communicates with new people and plays sports.

The actress always wanted to have more than one child, but she had problems with this. If the first of Marina Zudina's children was born without problems, then difficulties arose with the birth of a second child. At a long pregnancy, Marina Vyacheslavovna experienced a miscarriage, and only a few years later her daughter Masha was born.

Zudina did not sit on maternity leave for a long time either with her first or with her second child, because she was afraid of losing her job, so she had to combine raising children with the theater, and Marina Vyacheslavovna managed to become a mother when she was at the peak of popularity.

Now that the children of Marina Zudina have grown up, the actress can devote more time to working in her husband's theater. She has roles in performances such as "Ordinary History", "Sailor's Silence" and many others. In addition, the actress continues to act in films, and she can be seen in some films and TV shows.

Marina Zudina is a Russian theater and film actress, People's Artist of the Russian Federation (2006), widow of Oleg Tabakov, People's Artist of the USSR. The most popular roles of Zudina in the cinema are in the films “Valentin and Valentine”, “After the Rain on Thursday”, “On the Main Street with an Orchestra”, as well as in the TV series “Frozen” and “Deceive if you love”.

Childhood and youth

Marina Vyacheslavovna Zudina was born on September 3, 1965 in Moscow in the family of a journalist and music teacher. Marina spent three years of her childhood with her parents in the city of Inta of the Komi Republic, where her father, a university graduate, was sent after graduation.

Little Marina was not taken to a music school, so her mother studied music with the girl. By the age of 9, Zudina suddenly became interested in opera, and a year later - in ballet. The girl even tried to enter the choreographic department, but did not pass by age.

In the 10th grade, Marina read an interview with Oleg Tabakov in the Soviet Screen magazine and became eager to become his student. To begin with, Zudina directed all her energies to strengthening her voice and began to work with a phoniatrist (a doctor who helps restore her voice - approx. site).

In 1981, 16-year-old Marina, who by that time had not yet managed to pass the final exams at school (later the girl graduated from school with an almost round excellent student), entered GITIS. Zudina was very lucky - she got into an additional set and eventually became a student of the course of Oleg Tabakov and Avangard Leontiev.

Actor career

Marina began acting in films in her 3rd year at GITIS. Her first role became the main one: the actress played the 18-year-old girl Valentina in love in Georgy Natanson's film "Valentin and Valentina", where Tatyana Doronina and Nina Ruslanova also starred.

Then Zudina could be seen in the films of Pyotr Todorovsky "On the main street with an orchestra" (1986) and Mikhail Yuzovsky "After the rain on Thursday" (1985), in which the young actress appeared with her master, Oleg Tabakov. Also in the fairy tale film were involved Semyon Farada, Oleg Anofriev and Valentina Talyzina.

Marina Zudina is one of those students of Oleg Tabakov who were called the “second studio”: thanks to them, the studio continued to work, which in 1980 was not allowed to become a theater. Zudina and her classmates became the "foundation" of the "Snuffbox" troupe, which was given the "green light" for the official opening only in March 1987.

In the early years of the theater, Marina received small minor roles. The turning point in the career of the actress was the participation in the productions of "An Ordinary Story" based on the novel by I. Goncharov, "Mechanical Piano" and "The Last".

Over the years of work at Tabakerka, Marina received several public awards, in particular, two theater awards from the Moskovsky Komsomolets publication, two Oleg Tabakov personal awards and the Oleg Yankovsky Creative Discovery award.

In the cinema in the early 90s, Marina Zudina often played provincial women who came to conquer the capital, despite the fact that the actress herself is a native Muscovite. Such roles went to her in Alexei Rudakov's film "Life on the Limit", Andrei Razumovsky's film "Muzzle" and the film "Confession of a Kept Woman" by Boris Grigoriev. Some films were criticized, for example, "Muzzle" was scolded for pettiness and taste "assumptions", but Marina's work, on the contrary, was appreciated - for her it was a very characteristic role.

Zudina was also lucky enough to star in the Soviet-Japanese adventure film Under the Northern Lights (1990) and the British film director Anthony Waller's Silent Witness, which was filmed in Moscow. In 1995, Marina was recognized as an Honored Artist of Russia.

Marina Zudina in the program "Main Role"

In 2001, the actress made her debut on the stage of the Moscow Art Theater. A.P. Chekhov, playing the main role in Temur Chkheidze's production of Antigone. To date, Marina has appeared in 11 performances of the theater, six of which are still going on today. In 2006, Zudina was awarded the title of People's Artist of Russia.

In 2005, Zudina appeared in a small role in the 84-episode historical saga "Adjutants of Love", and also played Zinaida Reich, the first wife of the poet Sergei Yesenin, in the TV serial "Yesenin" with Sergei Bezrukov in the title role. Both series were presented on Channel One.

2008-2010 became very fruitful for Marina's film career. The actress appeared in the lead roles in four film projects at once - the series "Inheritance", "Tango with an Angel", "Frozen" and the melodrama "I Love March 9!".

Personal life: an affair with Oleg Tabakov

In the senior years of the institute, a stormy romance began between student Zudina and teacher Oleg Tabakov, who was 30 years older than the girl.

Already at that time, the newly-minted couple could have had a child, however, according to the actress, she "was still immature and could not take on such a responsibility." In addition, at that time Tabakov was married to actress Lyudmila Krylova, and he had a 25-year-old son, Anton, and a 19-year-old daughter, Alexandra.

Later, on the air of the program "The Fate of a Man" with Boris Korchevnikov, Zudina said that she did not consider herself guilty of Tabakov's departure from his first wife: "When a man is doing well, he will not leave his family."

The secret romance of a student and teacher lasted about 10 years, until in 1994 Oleg Pavlovich and his first wife finally divorced. On March 17, 1995, the happy lovers got married. Already on August 1, their son Pavel was born in their family, and in the spring of 2006, their daughter Maria.

In March 2018, Oleg Pavlovich died as a result of a heart attack after a long illness.

“I know that you loved me all my life. I was a happy woman, ”Marina said without holding back her tears at her husband’s funeral.

Marina Zudina now

In addition, during this period, Zudina starred in the drama series The Good Wife, which brought together such serious actors as

I never characterize anyone. Especially relatives. Mom, even more so. Who is my mother? The ideal of motherhood. I'm sure I'm not alone, every mother is an ideal for her son. Therefore, we, men, subconsciously choose a loved one in the image of a mother. I can not say exactly what is its ideal. I just love her.

In the same way, for me there is not a single criterion of “beauty” for my mother. She is simply beautiful.

We call back at least once a day. Between us there is no such thing that someone should call. The person who picks up the phone first calls first. By the way, mom is recorded in the mobile as "My Mother".

On the one hand, I don't like to share any personal memories related to my family. It's only mine. On the other hand, my mother and I have friendly relations, there are almost no secrets. And I understand that the conversation can be really confidential.

Pavel Tabakov: So, with my dad, I already went through questions and answers when I did an interview with him for GQ. Shall we try to talk to you?

Marina Zudina: Let's.

Do you remember the first time I said the word "mom"?

By the way, that was almost the first word you uttered.

Logically. All children say "mom".

Why? Someone says that they say "dad" or something else. I can't remember exactly when. But you didn't start talking very early. No such exceptional abilities were found.

Late, yes, I started?

And it doesn't seem to be too late. On time. I had already experienced so much by the time of the “first word”. Of course I remember when you were born. How do we sleep together in a room. Periodically, I took you to my bed because you slept restlessly. You and Masha both slept soundly with me. Here. I remember the first time I took you in my arms. A new physical intimacy for me. Such absolute dissolution. But the words or when he went - well, yes, he went, well, yes, he spoke ... In general, there was always more joy. I remember, perhaps, the only moment of despair. You are a couple of months old, I am walking with a stroller along Chistoprudny Boulevard. And in my head one thought: "Probably, it is easier to give birth again than not to sleep." This slow torture of sleepless nights with all my love for you has become a terrible nightmare for me.

I don't understand this. At least for now... That's what you think, who influenced my development more - you or dad? I formulated for myself that both of you.

I guess I'm also leaning towards the "both" option. Firstly, it seems to me that a lot is transmitted at the gene level. And in this sense, you took a lot from your father. And then, in my opinion, the child is influenced by how the family lives, father, mother. Men think more globally. Women are focused on specific things. Therefore, with regard to the fundamental attitudes of life, even if Oleg Pavlovich did not say these things, he “lived and lives like that”, and this is from your father in you. And the topics that need to be explained: for example, that in addition to “I want” to eat “I need”, that it is necessary to think about parents, friends and warn, if you do not come on time, do not worry dad, - it was on me. It's important to speak up. Even if you don't succeed, something will be delayed. True, there are things when even with your head against the wall - nothing helps. I remember I couldn't get you to wear slippers.

I still don't wear it.

Yes, sometimes things are difficult to overcome. Or maybe it was time for you to learn how to tie your shoelaces, the right kind of skill. I patiently explained, but I felt that it was easier to buy Velcro sneakers. Which is what my dad and I ended up doing.

Was stubborn, right?

No, I just didn't want to put effort into everything. But at the same time, it is so important that mom does not become a family dictator. Boys should not be suppressed, they should grow up self-confident.

So you said what the key role of mother and father is. The fact that a mother is an attitude, and a father is an example in a global sense.

Yes, and this is especially important for men. After all, boys look up to their father.

What do you think was the most difficult thing in my upbringing, for example, in adolescence? I wasn't perfect.

You have this property: you love to agree. But not the fact that you will do or fix something. So, on the one hand, I was happy. On the other hand, she realized that she did not know much. In addition, when you were 11 years old, I gave birth to Masha and turned my attention to her.

Difficulties? Yes they were. But 100% manageable. I don't think boys should grow up perfect. We must learn from our own experience. And I'm not against some cunning and the ability to get out of situations without involving parents. Well, once you got to the police at the age of 13 due to a misunderstanding. I remember how I was worried about my dad and from that moment became even more circumspect. I also remember such a case: a teacher from the school called and said that “your Pavlik” used a mobile phone in class, that she took the phone away. I replied: “Yes, you have the right to take away the phone. But you have no right to read your son's correspondence in front of the whole class. Here I will never support you. And you will return the phone yourself. In our family, no one allowed himself to read someone else's correspondence.

But what do you think of me as a son, a man and a person?

I, like you, do not like to give definitions to close people. If we love, then we love. Definition is like a diagnosis. You know, you can actually heal. I think you can be a good friend. And for me you are a friend. You are the person I can talk to. Not always lovers are able to hear each other. A friend is always.

I can’t say that I shared a lot with my parents. She was a closed child with a bunch of complexes. And I am proud that I have a trusting relationship with you and with Maria. When I feel bad, I can complain to you, when it’s good, I always share. However, I do not believe that we can or should talk about everything in the world. No, this is not necessary. I don't talk to myself either.

Then more about me...

By the way, I like that you have the initiative. It's also in you from your father. Believe me, at your age I mostly thought about myself, about my personal life, everything else did not matter.

On the other hand, you had to achieve a lot by yourself.

Yes, I understood that there was no one to rely on, no acquaintances. Moreover, everything was given to me by perseverance. I danced badly, but I learned. She sang badly - she achieved that her hearing developed. When they told me that the voice was high, I started working on the bottoms, developed a low timbre. God knows where I went to the teacher twice a week. My mother gave me money for this. Yes, much is easier for you because of the way you live. It's stupid to deny. I had one circumstance, you have another. By the way, hearing, vocals you should work out. And you don't put in the effort.

I emerge at the expense of other qualities. But I heard the advice. And how did you decide when to give me the first freedom? Well, locally. And what freedom did you give me?

You know, after all, everyone sets boundaries for himself. If I understood that you know no boundaries, then, probably, frames would appear. This applies to school, relationships with relatives, non-relatives. Intuitively, perhaps, you understood where there is freedom, and where there is a violation of the freedom of other people. What did it look like from your point of view?

I didn't feel any particular artificial boundaries. And I think that it is good for a person to know that they will say “Stop” to him at the moment when he crosses the line. I didn't have that, thank God.

Agree.

But when you are not given a rigid framework, you yourself begin to realize what is possible and what is not.

It's more difficult, by the way. Sometimes I want to become a little girl, for whom they would decide, but I just lived. Do you understand me? When a person is given freedom, he must lead his own life, be responsible for himself.

I have always consulted with you children. And I appreciate that we are united in feelings. Peace, people. The concepts of "love", "friendship", "responsibility" converge with us.

Tell me, do you forgive easily?

I easily apologize. This is a little different.

I think men forgive, women ask for forgiveness.

This is a masculine approach. I apologize when I realize that I was wrong. For example, I remember many years ago we rehearsed one performance. Sasha Borovsky made the scenery. I entered them and did not understand anything at all. Everything was uncomfortable for me. And he was sitting in the hall. And I began to express that everything is uncomfortable for me. I didn’t say that the artist came up with everything somehow wrong. Just freaked out. Then, of course, she called and apologized.

I don't like to live in conflict... And forgiveness in a global sense... In general, women, of course, are more inclined to accept, but, probably, not everything can be forgiven.

Why wouldn't you forgive?

Conscious betrayal. When a person sets you up for rational reasons. It's not like I'm kicking anyone out. I continue to communicate, but people leave the inner circle.

Move over a certain wall?

Yes. But you decipher your first message, about who asks and who forgives.

Men, it seems to me, are less likely to ask for forgiveness. It is difficult for them, they have more pride.

It is easier for them to pretend that nothing happened.

And we cannot even say to ourselves that, for example, we were wrong in choosing something. This is our choice. Let doubts overtake us in the process. I judge for myself. I did so, I will try to bring my choice to mind. Even though I know in advance that it won't work.

I think women are naturally more flexible. But also more resilient. That is why they have children. No man would bear a child. Everything would go wrong. And a woman tends not only to forgive - to take into account more, to overcome conflicts more. I noticed from my own experience that often a man offers: let's close the issue, pretend that everything is OK, we will not return. And women tend to accept this game. And me too. If it's not a matter of principle. I give in to the little things. The main thing is to win big.

Who do you have more friends - men or women?

There are fewer women. I have a close friend and godmother. Perhaps these are the women with whom I can talk about a lot. As for work, I communicate more with men - simply because I work with men. You also make friends mostly with women. You are just friends.

I have more in half.

I remembered! There is another woman who is close to me in spirit. The rest of the environment is men. Yes, I have a very masculine personality.

Strong-willed.

I am a problem solver. And I don't talk. I know how to be silent. As I get older, I notice that men sometimes talk even more.

Yes-ah-ah-ah!

I swear I always thought men could keep quiet. No. And I thought it was a male trait. I can. For the first eight years, only my close friend knew about the relationship with Oleg Pavlovich. And all these years we have never discussed anything. She just knew. Even when I was incredibly sick.

And what, besides the ability to remain silent, are the main qualities for a man?

Sense of responsibility.

For loved ones?

If we talk about relationships, of course, stability, reliability. Because all these ups and downs are not for life. Of the masculine qualities, there is, of course, self-development. It's also important to have a sense of humor. If there is no sense of humor, then life is a disaster. Can you laugh together - this is a major test.

What is the highest point of love for a woman for a man? I know that you and dad got married not by chance, consciously.

I think that when a man wants to have a child from this woman.

You can say something, but...

No, don't say. This is an inner conviction, you want a child from this man. Or this woman. How did you word it? Supreme expression, right?

Such a high point. When you can't jump above that.

I have experienced this twice in my life. One of those moments is when you were born. I gave birth painfully for so long. Many, many hours. I wanted to scream: "Cut me up, do something already, let this end." And when you were born, I was overcome by the feeling that the pain suddenly stopped - insane, chronic, many hours. There is a loved one nearby. Nearby lies a child. Instant. I have one thought: so in paradise, probably.

Is there anything you regret?

Of course, my father and I regret that we did not give birth to children earlier. Because we are good at it. (Laughs.) Yes, I could give more to children and parents. But, on the other hand, if I only dealt with you, Pavel, I'm not sure that you would become so independent. What do you think?

I myself, of course, owe you and your father more, immeasurably more.

I have enough. Truth. I probably love you so much that it’s important for me to just know that my son is happy.

The main thing is to have a desire to do something. Sometimes a person has a desire, but he cannot for some reason.

Yes, we feel it. And I don't think there are any complaints.

Tell me, is there anything I don't know about you or haven't tried to find out about you? Well, for this 21 years, while I exist.

Of course, I think people don't know everything about each other at all. Some qualities show up over the years.

Well, I don't know... Maybe you like daisies, but I came again with roses.

You think I love roses, right?

I know that you love roses. What am I doing wrong?

If you don’t know something, it’s very unprincipled things. For the life that we went through together, you learned everything about significant things. For example, Oleg Pavlovich experiences a lot of things that he never voiced to me. And I'm just as much. Especially before, when I had professional doubts.

As for roses... It seems to me that I love all flowers. I love peonies because they are very fragrant. Crimean roses. And I am grateful even if they give me one flower.

Tell me, what inspires you besides us and work? Well, we are families.

When I see something talented. But, again, this is about creativity. And so for me it is work, my personal life. I don't need a hobby, a hobby.

Returning to gender roles, why is it harder for women to succeed?

Because they send part of the energy to the family. And men are mostly for self-realization. The victories of women - they seem to be there, but they are in the shadows.

The most beautiful example is what Matilda did with Sergei Shnurov. When a person quit drinking, when he comes out at concerts, charged with energy. Looked like a street style icon. Well, it's not because he woke up one fine morning and decided that now it will be like this.

There is an anecdote. I may be misrepresenting it, but it accurately expresses the essence. The President and his wife drive up to the gas station...

BUT! I know, I know.

The husband recognized the tanker and said to his wife: “But you were in love with him once. And you could be a gas station driver's wife." She replies, "No, honey, it's just that he would be president if I was with him." That's the whole point. It is very important which woman is nearby.

Marina Zudina was 13 years younger than her husband Oleg Tabakov

Even at a young age, 16-year-old Marina Zudina fell in love with an accomplished actor, the idol of millions, Oleg Tabakov, who had many roles in theater and cinema. At that time, Oleg Pavlovich did not even suspect the existence of Marina Zudina, 2 children were growing up in the Tabakov family: son Anton and daughter Sasha.

In one of her interviews, the artist's wife said that she did not want to take Oleg Pavlovich away from the family. But the stormy romance that happened between them grew into a more serious feeling. For the sake of her lover, the young actress Marina Zudina was ready to give up her career and roles.

Oleg Tabakov divorced his wife Lyudmila Krylova, who could not come to terms with her husband's betrayal. And Marina Zudina herself was worried about the age difference and consulted with her mother, who wisely said that "she is also quite a few years old." The parents of the actress accepted her daughter's husband and always treated him with respect.

The eldest children of the artist Anton and Alexander did not talk to their father for a long time, holding a grudge against him because he abandoned them. Only after some time, the son of Oleg Tabakov was able to forgive his father and improve relations with him.

As reported, the actor did not hide his feelings and was worried about how long he would be able to stay with his children. Marina Zudina gave birth to her husband's son Pavel, he is 22 years old. After 12 years, the second child appeared in the family - daughter Maria, she was 10 years old.

Oleg Tabakov passed away at the age of 82 after a long illness. The actor ended up in the hospital back in November 2017 with pneumonia. Oleg Pavlovich was connected to a ventilator, he could not breathe on his own. Next to the artist all the time was his wife Marina Zudina, who hoped that he would be able to overcome the disease. Doctors put the actor in a medically induced coma due to the fact that his body was very depleted. The doctors did everything possible to stabilize the artist's condition, but they failed to save Tabakov's life.
