Lyudmila Maksakova: “They treated my marriage differently. Peter Maksakov - biography, personal life, latest news Husband of Yudashkin Peter
Mom, as the wife of an enemy of the people, was to be expelled from Moscow. But at one of the receptions in the Kremlin, Stalin asked someone from his entourage: "Where is my Carmen?" (He often came to this opera when Maksakova sang in it.) And this decided the fate of my mother ... I think it was precisely because of many years of all-consuming fear that my mother so diligently hid my father's name from everyone. I recognized him by chance - from an artist of the Moscow Art Theater, when I was flying to a film festival in Morocco. According to him, my father was the Bolshoi Theater singer Alexander Volkov. For my mother, a daughter born at 38 years old became greatest event... And Volkov did not recognize the child. Then, in 1941, he found himself in the occupation: he gave a concert in a village near Moscow, stayed there for the night, woke up in the morning, and around the Germans, "guten tag ..." Somehow later he was able to move to the United States, opened a theater school there.
Well, how could mom tell anyone about this? She didn’t want me to be the “daughter of a traitor to the Motherland,” so she deleted Volkov from our life forever ... My mother did not raise me easily. For many years she was the only breadwinner big family - in our apartment there always lived relatives from different cities, who were fleeing in Moscow from hunger and poverty. And during the war, my mother was evacuated to Astrakhan. She had a little daughter in her arms, and she herself organized a branch of the Bolshoi Theater in a new place ...
When we returned to Moscow, it turned out that our dacha had been burned so that the Germans would not get it, the car was taken for the needs of the front. But the worst blow awaited my mother ahead - at the age of 51 she was fired from the Bolshoi Theater. It was impossible to buy tickets for Maksakova's performances, and the management sent her a notice of dismissal - a small piece of tissue paper - by mail!
To support her family, my mother began to travel with concert programs around the country, she was constantly on tour. When I returned, prepared for concerts or worked with students, Larisa Golubkina was among her pupils. Therefore, as a child, my mother and I spoke little. Everything in the life of our family was subordinated to art, and my grandmother took care of me. For many years my mother was a mysterious, supreme being for me. She never visited my school, never talked to me heart to heart and did not indulge, kept in tight-knit gloves. I was forbidden to walk, go to the cinema, visit. They dressed very strangely, sewed antediluvian dresses with frills and capes, old-fashioned bonnets. It all looked ridiculous, but I wanted ordinary clothes, like the rest of the girls.
Add to my image a cello in a rag case, which I had to carry to music lessons. I felt like a lonely, unhappy scarecrow, sometimes even deliberately limping to arouse pity among passers-by. My peers perceived me as a black sheep - the boys called me monkeys and often beat me ... But still, there was one huge plus in my mother's tough upbringing. Mom herself plowed all her life and kept repeating to me: "We must work." So I was all the time busy with something: I studied music, languages, and also knitted, embroidered, cooked. At the age of 17, I protested: I broke away to the fullest, I walked across my mother in everything. Mom really respected only the Art Theater, and I “on principle” entered the Shchukin School at the Vakhtangov Theater. She repainted herself a platinum blonde, drew fashionable thick arrows in front of my eyes, started smoking, inviting cheerful companies home, although before that none of my friends had ever been to my house, began to go to the restaurant of the Actor's House.
Mom watched with bitterness what was happening to her child ...
Remembering well how I suffered in childhood, I tried not to put pressure on my children. Especially after one incident with Masha. At the age of 12, she, like me once, began to paint madly: red lipstick, black eyeliner, bright blush. Make-up was applied secretly from me, in the bathroom and in the dark, so my daughter looked monstrous. When Masha came out in full war paint in the morning, I was horrified to say to her: "Masha, you look like a circus horse!" Once she could not stand it, dragged her into the bathroom, opened the water and washed off all this "beauty" with a sponge. The daughter screamed like crazy, then ran away to school in tears, slamming the door.
And in the evening ... I tried to cut my veins. Fortunately, the wounds were not deep at all - Masha simply scratched her skin with a blade. I'm sure she didn't seriously think about committing suicide, rather it was a youthful desire to prove her case to me, to scare me, finally. That's when I decided that I would be softer with the children. Maxim, for example, categorically refused to study music. I dreamed that he would learn to play the violin, but when it was necessary to practice, my son invariably asked to use the toilet. Locked and hung there for two hours. And it was not possible to get him out of there. I suffered like this for a couple of months and realized: music is not his lot. But Maxim's languages \u200b\u200bare great (and now he is in business, he has his own PR agency for sports). At the age of 20, my son "made me happy" with the news of his marriage. His wife was Katya Dobrynina, the granddaughter of the legendary ambassador of the USSR to the United States - one of these days, Anatoly Fedorovich turns 90, and we still have the best relations with him.
Peter Maksakov, whose biography and personal life is known to few, until some time he was generally known only in the circles of golden youth. He is one of those few people who became famous for their personal life.
Peter Maksakov was lucky to be born in an elite family. His biography began in Moscow. He was born in 1990. Peter's childhood passed in the very center of the capital. The boy inherited the famous surname from his famous grandmother.
Her eldest son, Maxim, (Peter's father) is a big businessman. However, he brought his own drop of tar into the personal life of the famous family. The fact is that he was accused of fraud and spent some time in prison.
Peter Maksakov
Peter's mother, Ekaterina Dobrynina, is the granddaughter of Anatoly Dobrynin. This is the Soviet ambassador to the United States. According to the press, it was he who at one time stopped the beginning of the third world war. Thanks to his negotiations with President Kennedy's brother, a peace treaty was concluded.
Little is known about this. In general, the great-grandfather of Peter Maksakov was taciturn and calmly pursued his goal, so few people know about his biography. He passed on this personal quality to his descendants.
Peter's school life began in an elite Moscow school. But then the parents decided that their son should get a secondary education abroad. The boy finished his senior classes in England.

If we continue talking about the famous relatives of Peter, then he is an outstanding person in their family. This is his father's sister, daughter of Lyudmila Maksakova. Her biography is known to many. She is an opera singer, leading soloist of the Mariinsky Theater. The personal life of Maria Maksakova is always on the pages of the press.
Recently, her husband, a prominent politician, was killed in Ukraine, leaving their common children orphans.
Getting a profession and meeting with Galina
Peter Maksakov, after graduating from school, decided to get higher education in the same place, in England. He entered the English University at the Faculty of Psychology. After graduating from this university, his biography continued in Russia. There he decided to get a second higher education and entered the Moscow State Institute international relations... Having successfully graduated from it, the young man takes his first steps in entrepreneurship.

It was then that fateful changes took place in his personal life. Peter several times saw a photo of Galina Yudashkina, and he liked her. He was waiting for an opportunity to get to know this beautiful girl... But what, it was his surprise when I saw a message from her on Facebook. She got ahead of him in acquaintance.
Petr Maksakov, as is known from his biography disclosed in the press, met with other girls before. In his personal life, he had an affair with Tatyana Mamiashvili (daughter of the President of the Wrestling Federation). But he broke off for some unknown reason.
It becomes a tradition - children from elite families start dating. Galina also met with Nikita Presnyakov before meeting Peter. According to the press, she was even going to marry the millionaire Fakhriev.
Petr Maksakov and Galina Yudashkina
The day after meeting on the Internet, Peter invited Galya to an exhibition of Van Gogh's works. Then there was a meeting again. Young people found a lot in common in each other. They have similar tastes and interests. Finally, they decided that they should be together.
The chosen one of Peter Maksakov
Beloved Peter Maksakova - Galina Yudashkina was born in Moscow in rich family... Galina's father is a famous couturier. Mom - Marina Yudashkina - a charming woman, works as a top manager in her husband's Fashion House.
Her biography deserves special attention. She, having received the profession of a hairdresser and cutter of fashionable clothes, got a job in a sewing industry, where she met her future husband. A friendship struck up between them, which grew into a passionate, dizzying romance.
Galina's father, famous clothing designer Valentin Yudashkin
Soon all colleagues learned about the changes in their personal life. Their wedding was stunningly beautiful. Valentin has made a wedding dress for his beloved unimaginable beauty. It was an unusual luxury for then.
And since then they have been together for over thirty years! The love between them does not fade, just as Marina's youth and beauty does not fade away. They always dreamed of children. And in 1990, they had a daughter, who was named Galina.

In the photo, the family looks luxurious against the background of a rich elite environment. But there were also difficult times for this married couple when they were experiencing a monetary crisis. I even had to sell the car. But then things took off again. In difficult years, the spouses supported each other. From childhood, Galya was a witness of their amazing strong love and mutual respect. She always dreamed of finding the same love as her parents.
Galina Yudashkina
And now, finally, the dream has come true! Her chosen one is young, handsome and rich. They got engaged in May 2014. By that time, Galina graduated from the history department of the university and worked in her father's company as an art director. She is a pretty, modest, very smart girl. Stunning eyes of blue color Galina inherited from her mother, and the lower part of her face - to her dad.

Wedding
Everyone understands that the wedding of the daughter of a famous fashion designer is not an easy event. Preparation for it began long ago. The best banquet organizers, florists, hairdressers and chefs were gathered. The dress for Galina, of course, was designed by her father. But the creation of the bride's hairstyle was taken over by her mother (after all, she is a wonderful hairdresser!).
Despite the fact that, in fact, Petr Maksakov and Galina Yudashkina became spouses (signed at the registry office) in September 2014, the wedding was scheduled for June 2015.
The wedding dress for Galina was personally sewn by her father, designer Valentin Yudashkin
As it turned out, the biographies of the young had a beginning very close! They grew up together in Bryusov Lane in Moscow. Only the family of some lived in house number one, while others lived in house number seven. It turns out that they were taken for a walk in the same square - near the Church of the Ascension of the Lord. This coincidence could not leave anyone indifferent! But for some reason before they were not lucky enough to meet each other and get to know each other.
Wedding famous people, like their personal life, cannot remain in the shadows. The attention of many representatives of high society and ordinary citizens of the country was riveted to it. First, I wonder what the best couturier will create for the bride? Parents, of course, did their best.
Peter Maksakov with his wife and parents
The bride's wedding dress weighed almost seven kilograms! It took fifty meters of high-quality expensive silk. It was decorated by hand with beads and pearls. The number of these jewels was measured in hundreds of thousands. Of course, it's scary to think about the price of such an outfit.
The bride's makeup is entrusted to Alexandra Kim. Because Galina is too vertically challenged - meter fifty two, she picked up special shoes from Jimmy Choo. They increase their height by ten centimeters.
The young people got married in the Church of St. Clement on Pyatnitskaya Street. The tremendous bell ringing could be heard for several blocks. Then the newlyweds were taken away by a Rolls-Royce.
The Symphony Orchestra was specially invited for the wedding ceremony.

Before the wedding day, the bride arranged a grand bachelorette party, to which her best friends were invited. It took place in an expensive hotel. The fun poured over the edge. Were there and famous personalities and simple girls. Anya Maksakova, Peter's sister, was also included in the girl's company. Despite the fact that she is not yet eighteen years old, the girl looks older than her years. A tall, leggy beauty is also waiting for her worthy groom. Peter, on the other hand, refused to hold a bachelor party, considering it an unnecessary event.
For wedding dress Galina spent a large amount of expensive silk
Peter Maksakov, especially for such an important moment in his biography, flew to New York to see famous jewelers in order to fit his grandmother's family wedding ring for the bride.
The table was, as expected, magnificent and abundant in gourmet food. The wedding cake aroused personal interest of all. It was two meters high and weighed about three hundred kilograms! Nobody has ever tried this in life! It is said that such a magnificent table was organized by the groom's relatives. There were many exotic dishes on it, which the best restaurant masters worked on. The dishes were made of luxury porcelain.

The groom's aunt, Maria Maksakova, wished the newlyweds a happy life and the best children. She presented a cash gift and then performed famous arias from operas. In the photo, the young look amazing! Their dance was unusual - a mixture of rock 'n' roll and charleston.
Their joint biography began with honeymoon trip... The young went to Los Angeles.
Life after the wedding
Two years have passed since the wedding. How did their subsequent life turn out? Petr works at the Valentin Yudashkin Center as a business consultant. Simultaneously develops several independent projects. One of them is a joint production with Ilan Shor (husband famous singer Jasmine). The other is an independent company that he created with his friends.
After the wedding, Peter Maksakov and his wife live in America
Peter is not at all exalted over the rest of the citizens. Drives to work in a simple Chevrolet. He is building his own house next to the house of his wife's parents.
And the most important event happened in April 2016. They had a son, who was named Anatoly. He, of course, enjoys special attention from parents and representatives of both elite families. Grandmothers spoil him to the point of insanity. After all, they have dreamed of grandchildren for so long! The kid has already visited with his mother at the grandfather's fashion show in Paris.

Large open spaces are open for the new member of the Maksakov family. What will he choose? What path will he take when he grows up. Perhaps a singer? Or will he replace his grandfather in the field of fashion? The choice is his.
Young people live a happy, quiet family life. All disputes arising in the course of everyday difficulties are resolved peacefully with the help of love. Although they do not hide the fact that both have a quick-tempered nature. But love conquers all omissions and disagreements. As for the further procreation - not young, but only after a few years. We need to give Galya a rest and save some strength for the next restless successor of the elite family.

Galina left her career when she realized that she was expecting a baby. Now her main goal is to create peace and harmony in the family. When she meets her husband from work, she feeds him a delicious dinner, taking off the burden of fatigue and worries from him during the day.

Galya never takes off her wedding ring and does not let anyone measure it. And this is not only because of the value of the jewelry (although it costs, of course, fabulous money!), But rather because of the special attitude to their status as a married woman.
It remains to wish Peter and Galina happy family life, more children and health for years to come.
Pyotr Maksakov is a representative of the generation of Moscow's golden youth, born in the early 90s. His biography does not have any significant twists and turns that made the man famous, but it is interesting because of his belonging to an elite family. The personal life of Peter Maksakov is a close object of study by reporters, because his chosen one is a girl no less "golden" ...
Childhood and adolescence of Peter Maksakov
Many are interested, not knowing who Peter Maksakov is and why his biography is marked with a celebrity sign. You need to look for the answer in the roots of Peter, because his relatives are representatives of a secular society.
Petr Maksakov was born in Moscow, in 1990. He spent his childhood in the center of the capital - the Maksakov family lived in one of the elite houses in Moscow. He received his surname from the famous singer and actress of the Soviet era, Lyudmila Maksakova. Peter's father was the son of Lyudmila - Maxim.
Fact! At the turn of the 80-90s, Maxim was a major entrepreneur, which could not affect his law-abidingness. Some time to son famous artist had to spend in jail for illegal activities. This moment is not the most pleasant one both in the biography of Peter and in the history of a famous family. But this did not prevent the young man from developing and doing what he wanted, without wearing the stigma received from his father.
Peter's mother is a woman from a kind of politicians - Ekaterina Dobrynina. The granddaughter of the USSR Ambassador to the United States received a good education, and then married a wealthy businessman. It was Catherine's father who at one time skillfully conducted negotiations with the American politician Kennedy, concluded an agreement and prevented the outbreak of war.
Little is known about the biography of Peter's great-grandfather; he was a rather taciturn person and did not like to talk about the most important events in his career. Among other equally famous relatives of Peter Maksakov is Maria. She is an outstanding personality, an opera singer and one of the most significant figures in the Mariinsky Theater. Maria's biography is painted almost by months, and her personal life is a favorite subject of study for all journalists.
Fact! Maria Maksakova was married to a politician who was killed in Ukraine some time ago. They have common children.
Each member of the Maksakov family is an educated and creative person, but not all of them are of equal interest to the press.
School and university years of Peter Maksakov
Maksakov was very lucky to study at one of the best Moscow schools. However, after finishing middle school, he was sent to complete schooling in England. Higher education Peter Maksakov, the grandson of actress Lyudmila Maksakova, received it there, in the UK. For some time he studied at Durham, after which he received a diploma and went back to Moscow. In addition to psychological education, Peter decided to study diplomacy by entering MGIMO.

But the spouses did not give up and supported each other in all troubles, which helped to overcome all adversities. And Galina, looking at the happiness of her parents, always dreamed of the same beautiful personal life and boundless love. Peter 100% fulfilled the girl's childhood dream - he is rich, young, handsome and smart enough. They got engaged to Galina in 2014, when she graduated from the history department and took the position of art director in her father's company.
The wedding of Peter Maksakov and Galina
The wedding of the daughter of the most famous fashion designer in Russia could not be modest and quiet. Literally all the tabloids learned about her - it is unlikely that the idea was completely Galina. Perhaps she followed the will of her father and mother.
Fact! The dress for his beloved daughter was created by Yudashkin himself for several months.
It was a beautiful, solemn ceremony full of joyful guests, warm words, as well as the results of the work of famous designers, florists, bartenders and other staff. While the girl was putting on a model dress that weighed almost 7 kg, her mother was doing the bride's hair. The official ceremony took place in September 2014, when Petr and Galina recorded the marriage with signatures at the registry office. However, the celebration took place in June 2015 - for a whole year, both families were preparing for the event!
During the preparation, the journalists learned several interesting facts:
- Petr Maksakov and Galina grew up on the same street - in Bryusov Lane, but in different houses (No. 1 and No. 7);
- Before the first meeting, the guy and the girl had never met each other on the street and in the courtyard of houses.
The bride's dress deserved special attention at the wedding: it was decorated with Japanese beads and the best pearls, and expensive silk was used as the main material. The cost of the outfit is tens of thousands of dollars. Alexandra Kim was engaged in the makeup of the bride. And in order not to be the smallest at the ceremony, Galya put on shoes with heels of 10-11 cm from Jimmy Choo. The celebration took place in the Church of St. Clement on Pyatnitskaya. After the wedding, the bells sounded all over the neighborhood for several minutes, while the lovers retired in a Rolls-Royce to the hotel, so that they could then go on a romantic trip.
Fact! Live music was played at the ceremony - most of the musicians of the Symphony Orchestra participated.
The kitchen deserves special attention. The many exquisite dishes of French, Chinese, Italian and Russian cuisine literally shocked even the most sophisticated gourmets. The appetizer and other treats were served on specially purchased china, which cost more than several thousand dollars. At the wedding, Maria Maksakova performed several arias, which also attracted the attention of journalists and inspired all the guests. After the celebration, the newlyweds went to Los Angeles on vacation.
Bachelorette party before the wedding of the Maksakovs
On the eve of the celebration, Galina arranged a bachelorette party with her best friends. It took place in one of the most expensive hotels in Moscow. Peter's sister Anna also took part in the party. But Peter refused the bachelor party. But he managed to fly to New York to mark one of the most important events in his personal life by making a ring. More precisely, he gave his grandmother's family ring to fit.
Family biography after the wedding: happy life Maksakov
The family life of Petr Maksakov and Gali evokes only positive emotions in those who follow the events in their fate. The young couple is not seen in scandals and never flaunts problems and intrigues. However, according to Maksakov's wife, from time to time they quarrel, because the character of both "star" children is unshakable and stubborn!However, Galya and Peter, even before the wedding, decided that there would be no problems in their biography that they would not be able to resolve peacefully. The couple confidently overcomes all the difficulties that arise, relying on reason, logic and love for each other. “After all, the main thing is to appreciate each other, respect and remember why we decided to get married,” Galina says about the quarrels and troubles in the family. More than 2 years have passed since the wedding of the Maksakovs, but the photo in social networks only delight the environment with their happiness.
Changes in the biography of Peter and Gali after marriage
For several months after the wedding, Galina worked at her favorite job, but when she found out that she was pregnant, she quit. At this time, she decided to devote herself to her son Anatoly, who was born in 2016, as well as her husband.
Fact! The young wife happily tried on the role of a housewife, meets her husband from work every day, cooks lunches and dinners with pleasure, and is also engaged in raising a child.
Entrepreneur. In-house business consultant at Valentin Yudashkin Fashion House.
Grandson of People's Artist of Russia Lyudmila Maksakova. He is married to the daughter of fashion designer Yudashkin.
Petr Maksakov was born on January 5, 1990 in the city of Moscow. From early childhood, he had to get used to constant attention to his stellar family, which deserves special attention. Peter's relatives are public people: diplomats, artists, politicians.
His grandmother is a famous actress, Honored and People's Artist of Russia Lyudmila Maksakova. Aunt - Maria Maksakova-Igenbergs - opera singer and politician. She was a State Duma deputy and was a member of the committee for culture. Peter's father, Maxim, was engaged in advertising.
Nothing is known about the mother, except that she gave her husband three children: Peter, Anna and Vasilisa. On the maternal side, Peter is related to Anatoly Dobrynin - his great-grandfather was a Soviet diplomat and USSR ambassador to the United States. Peter himself is a personality almost unknown to the general public. Despite the widespread belief that representatives of the "golden youth" are great snobs, Pyotr Maksakov is quite democratic.
Peter spent his childhood in the house of his grandmother, which is located in Bryusov Lane in Moscow. The nanny took him for a walk to the site of the Church of the Ascension. It is noteworthy that Galya Yudashkina and her teacher also walked here. It was the Church of the Ascension that opened its doors to representatives of the first Soviet elite, and then the elite of the new state. Therefore, from an early age, Peter saw a lot of eminent people.
At the age of 7, Peter became a student of the middle comprehensive school No. 20, but soon the boy's parents decided that their son should receive a better and more versatile education. This is how Peter entered the Oundle private school in the UK. After school, Peter Maksakov became a student at Durham University, where he received a degree in psychology. Returning to Russia, he entered MGIMO and received an MBA.
Together with Ilan Shor, the husband of the popular singer Jasmine, Pyotr Maksakov created and began to promote the Vodka Kremlevskaya brand. Maksakov also owns a company called Smith, which develops startup concepts. In addition, Petr Maksakov is a full-time business consultant at Valentin Yudashkin Fashion House.
As for his personal life, for some time Pyotr Maksakov met with Tatiana Mamiashvili, the daughter of the President of the Russian Wrestling Federation Mikhail Mamiashvili. However, this romance was fleeting and did not have time to develop into something serious.
In the winter of 2014, Petr Maksakov began courting Galina Yudashkin, the daughter of the famous fashion designer Valentin Yudashkin. The lovers got married on June 5, 2015, and on June 7 they had a magnificent wedding in Moscow. In 2016, Peter and Galina became parents - they had a long-awaited son Anatoly.
Peter Maksakov became famous for his marriage. Children of famous surnames started a family - of course, such an event could not but stir up the public. As Valentin Yudashkin said: “There was no need for the guys to play such a magnificent wedding. But they both understand that they are representatives of public families, they grew up in an atmosphere of constant interest in their life and calmly reacted to everything that happens. "
The surname Maksakovs in three generations was glorified exclusively by women. Moreover, in many moments their biographies turned out to be surprisingly similar - each in some way repeated the fate of her mother. Such "Matryoshka Maksakovs", as Nikita Mikhalkov called them, no one has yet managed to unravel all their secrets - some new facts constantly surface.
Stately talented beauties who were applauded by the audience! On the surface, they seemed very successful, but passions raged inside, pain from mistakes and even fear for their own lives. And all because of men who, as if on selection, they met "the wrong ones." Sometimes so that in different time they were called "enemies of the people", defectors and simply traitors. But, they say, you can't order your heart ... Moreover, the Maksakovs were surprisingly lucky, something always helped them get out of the water dry.
Maksakovs: Maria the elder, Lyudmila, Maria the younger
"Where is my Carmen?": How Stalin saved Maksakova Sr. from repression
To begin with, the family name of these three beautiful women not the Maksakovs, but the Sidorovs. According to all laws, ladies in this family had to wear either her or the names of their husbands and fathers. But when did the Maksakovs follow any rules?
Their roots should be found in Astrakhan. The father of the founder of the creative dynasty, Maria Petrovna Sr., was an employee of the shipping company Pyotr Sidorov. The family lived in abundance, but when Maria was only 8 years old, her father was gone. She was forced to earn money by singing in the church choir in order to help her mother feed the other five brothers and sisters.
Lyudmila and Petr Sidorovs are the parents of Maria Maksakova Sr. Photo: spletnik.ru At the age of 17, Maria already worked at the Astrakhan Opera Theater, where, after the revolution, a new director, 50-year-old Maximilian Maksakov, got to. In fact, his name was Max Schwartz, he was born in Austria-Hungary to a Jewish family. But Maria learned about this much later. So, the Maksakovs - this turns out to be a completely invented surname, a pseudonym.
They say that Maximilian, who was also an opera singer in the past, did not gain much recognition on the stage, and therefore moved into an entrepreneur. He was a stern leader, but it was thanks to him that Maria Petrovna became a prima. According to some reports, he married her with the blessing of his wife dying of cholera. Be that as it may, but they lived with Maria together for 16 years, until he himself was gone. No children were born in their marriage.
Maria and Maximilian Maksakov. Photo: RIA Novosti Child from the "enemy of the people"
Maria all these years did not let go of fear for her foreign husband, she even destroyed his documents, where he is recorded as Schwartz. But in the following relationships, the fate of the woman "enemy of the people" did not escape her. Yakov Davtyan - former ambassador The USSR in Poland and Maria's beloved was shot, and she herself was waiting for the expulsion.
But Maksakova was lucky. Once Stalin, having come to the Bolshoi Theater, did not find his beloved artist, saying:
Where is my Carmen?
Since then, much has been forgiven her. Even a daughter from a dissident, whom she gave birth to at 38, just before the war. There were even rumors that Lyudmila Maksakova was Stalin's own child. They rarely spoke to her mother about her father; she preferred to protect her daughter from problems. Especially when in 1953 there was no leader - their patron. Then Maksakova Sr. was fired from the Bolshoi.
Maria and Lyudmila Maksakov Meanwhile, Lyudmila's father turned out to be Alexander Volkov, the soloist of the Bolshoi Theater, who fled to the United States during the war. The peoples of Maksakova would not have forgiven another enemy, so she chose to completely hide his name. Lyudmila bears a patronymic Vasilievna.
Rebel Lyudmila Maksakova
Maria Maksakova never married again. After the Bolshoi sent her into retirement early, she had a hard time. All the time she disappeared at work - in order to feed her family, she went to concerts around the country, studied teaching activities... People loved her, but, as usual, there was no time for her daughter. Lyudmila was raised by her grandmother, and her mother was too strict with her. Apparently, that's why the daughter began to rebel!
Mother saw her as a translator, and Lyudmila, in spite of her, entered the theater. Her youth fell on the period of the so-called Khrushchev thaw - bohemian companies, experiments with appearance. There, she later met the artist Lev Zbarsky, for the sake of Lyudmila he left his wife, the model Regina Zbarskaya, who was called the "Red Queen" in the West.
Lyudmila Maksakova and Lev Zbarsky As they say, happiness cannot be built on someone else's misfortune. Zbarsky's life companion was unlucky - constantly in debt and spree. He did not even have the money to put a divorce stamp in his passport to sign with Lyudmila. And she pulled everything on herself. When their son Maxim was born in 1971, Leo had to adopt him.
But this fact did not make the freedom-loving artist settle down. In the end, Maksakova got tired of it all and she left Zbarsky. And then she applied for adoption ... Leo emigrated to America and this could ruin the life of their son. Maxim never met his own father.
And Lyudmila then started an unsuccessful romance with Mikael Tariverdiev, which ended in failure. He hit a man in a car and was convicted of it. But it was rumored that it was Lyudmila who was driving then. This story formed the basis for the plot of Eldar Ryazanov's film "Station for Two".
Maxim and Peter Maksakov
Lyudmila Maksakova with her son Maxim and granddaughter / Petr Maksakov with his wife Galina Yudashkina Lyudmila, brought up by a strict mother, vowed that she would treat her children differently. Who knows if she was right in this, but then it turned out, how it happened ... Maxim did not follow the footsteps of his mother and grandmother. He early married the daughter of the Ambassador, they had two children. He was engaged in business, not so long ago he was accused of large embezzlement of budget funds. Now he lives, it seems, somewhere in Italy with his second family.
And his son Peter, who was raised by his grandmother, received a good education. He is also engaged in business and is married to the daughter of a famous fashion designer Galina Yudashkina. Maybe at least everything will work out for him like a human being.
Maria Maksakova Jr.
Daughter Maria was born to Lyudmila and her only legal husband Peter Igenbergs in 1977. It was difficult again. Peter is the son of Baltic emigrants who fled from the USSR to Germany. All this time they were drawn back to their homeland, and therefore Peter, having received a good education, also began to visit the USSR on scientific matters. He sought Lyudmila for a long time. He accepted Maxim as his own son, but they could not get married.
Wedding of Lyudmila Maksakova and Peter Igenbergs Lyudmila is a famous actress, the daughter of the people's favorite Maria Maksakova, and Peter is a foreigner. In the theater, gossip and complaints spread, and Lyudmila was invited to the cinema less and less. In her arms small child, a seriously ill mother and a loved one who was banned from entering the USSR. In desperation, she dialed the number of the Foreign Ministry. Yes, yes, probably, the Maksakovs could just dial this number and solve their problems.
With threats to jump out the window, Lyudmila achieved her goal. Perhaps the name of her mother, who was still adored, played a role. He and Peter got married and remained in the Union. Maksakova basically did not want to emigrate.
Maria Petrovna Sr. did not find her granddaughter. She died five years before the birth of Mary Jr. It was she, named after the great grandmother, who was destined to follow in her footsteps. But, alas, to surpass in scandals, perhaps, all Maksakovs combined.
Her father Peter never lived to see his daughter return home from Ukraine. He passed away in 2018.
Maria Maksakova Jr.with her parents The most scandalous Maksakova
When you read Maria's old interviews, you might think that she always had a complete understanding with her mother (source MK, 2001):
Mom and I never argue, we do not swear, we do not try to defend each of our opinions - we have one for two. My mom and I even have friends at home.
But Lyudmila Vasilievna has always been a difficult woman, with character, and a lot of water has flowed under the bridge since then ...
Maria Maksakova with Vladimir Tyurin and Denis Voronenkov Everything went well at first. Maria graduated from the Gnesinka, sang at the Bolshoi Theater and the Mariinsky. She gave birth to two children in abundance and love. And in 2011, for some reason, she plunged into the dirty world of big politics. Apparently, this was her strategic mistake.
It immediately became clear that her husband and the father of the children were a well-known crime boss, “thief in law” Vladimir Tyurin. They had to disown him immediately - they say, and they were never painted. Then Maria is already officially marrying Denis Voronenkov, they have a son. And again the husband turns out to be a thief and a traitor. There would be no way to stop here, but Maria runs with him to Ukraine and becomes a traitor herself.
We hope that the children of the Maksakovs-junior will continue this really talented dynasty, but only without scandals. Probably enough for one family.
