They were students at Rostov University. Alexander Solzhenitsyn studied at the Physicotechnical Institute, and Natalya Reshetovskaya at the Faculty of Chemistry. She and her friends were standing in the lobby of the university when a tall, large and shaggy Sanya, whom friends called the Walrus, literally rolled down the stairs. This is how they first met. And then there was a party at Natasha's house, where Solzhenitsyn was also invited. After that evening, Alexander wrote an acrostic for his Natalia. It was almost a confession; at first a strong friendship was struck between the young people, and later deeper feelings arose.

When Alexander confessed his love to her, she just cried without answering. And only a few days later, having figured out herself, Natalya wrote to him that she also loved. They signed secretly on April 27, 1940. And went together to Honeymoon to Tarusa. They were happy in their youthful light love. Only the young husband did not want children. He had ambitious plans, children could interfere with their implementation. Natalia didn't mind. It seemed that the whole life was ahead. Happy, endless. And a year later, the war came.

Love and separation

Alexander Solzhenitsyn strove to get to the front from the very beginning of the war. But for health reasons he was refused, sending him to work as a teacher in Morozovsk, Rostov region. From there, he was nevertheless drafted into the army in October 1941. And already in April 1942, Aleksandr Isaevich achieved a referral to an artillery school, after which he finally got into the army and became the commander of a sound reconnaissance battery.

And then he found an opportunity to call Natalia to him. They spent a whole month together, an almost inconceivable luxury in wartime. True, Natalya was somewhat burdened by her uncertain position in the division, therefore, as soon as such an opportunity presented itself, she left for the rear to engage in scientific activities.

In February 1945, letters from him stopped coming. Later, Natalya Reshetovskaya learns: her husband was arrested for imprudent criticism of the policies of Joseph Stalin in correspondence with a friend.
Natalya found out where her husband is, began to help him, to the best of her ability. She regularly sent parcels to him in places of detention, even when it was not easy herself. It was impossible to admit to anyone that the spouse was a political prisoner. Alexander Solzhenitsyn will say later that Natalya saved his life in prison.

Divorce and a clean slate

Alexander Solzhenitsyn and Natalya Reshetovskaya realized that their separation might never end. The conclusion could be indefinite. Therefore, he repeatedly offered Natalia to arrange her life, not to wait for his return.

And Natalia decided on a relationship with her colleague, a widower who had two wonderful sons. By this time, it was already known that due to illness, Natasha would not have her children. And in 1948, she divorced her first husband in absentia.

For five years she lived with another man, but when Alexander Isayevich returned from prison in 1956 and offered to start life anew, she agreed. They remarried on February 2, 1957. Later, both of them admit that they made the mistake of trying to enter the same river a second time.

Natalia devoted herself entirely to her husband. She diligently helped him in everything, fulfilled all his desires. But her Sanya grew more and more distant from her.

Natalia Svetlova


He met Natalia Svetlova in 1968. She assisted him in reprinting the manuscripts. By the time they met, Alexander Solzhenitsyn had become a famous, and soon a disgraced writer.

He worked tirelessly and needed help. Natalya, a 29-year-old graduate student at Moscow State University, was almost perfect for the role of assistant. She was also very able-bodied, energetic, and besides, she shared the views of Alexander Isaevich.

According to the writer, from the moment he put his hands on her shoulders, their lives intertwined and whirled. He called her Alya, it was she who was destined to become his muse and guiding star.

Dramatic divorce

But for two more years he rushed between two women. On the one hand, there was Natasha, whom he once loved very much. On the other - Alya, without whom he could not imagine his future life. The question was resolved when Natalia told him that she was expecting a baby. Only then did he finally talk to his wife about the divorce.

But Natalia did not want to let her husband go. She dragged out the case in every possible way, trying with all her might to keep her husband and not give him a divorce. According to rumors, she even wrote denunciations against him to the KGB.

This painful process lasted for three whole years, completely exhausting all the participants in the love drama. Natalya Reshetovskaya tried to commit suicide, but the doctors managed to save her. By the time she gave her consent to divorce, Solzhenitsyn and Natalia Svetlova had two sons growing up, and they were expecting the birth of their third child.
New family

Solzhenitsyn lived with Natalia Dmitrievna until the end of his days. After being stripped of his Soviet citizenship in February 1974, he was expelled from the country. After six weeks, the wife and children were allowed to join her husband. They lived in exile for 20 long years.

Natalia Reshetovskaya wrote six books of memoirs about her ex-husband... Many things described in her memoirs deeply offended the writer. Even after his return to his homeland, Solzhenitsyn refused to meet with his first wife, but until the end of his days he helped her financially through Natalia Dmitrievna.

On May 28, Natalya Reshetovskaya, the first wife of Alexander Solzhenitsyn, a Russian dissident writer who received for his chronicles of Soviet repression, died in Moscow at the age of 84. Nobel Prize in the field of literature. No cause of death has been reported.

Reshetovskaya was a chemist, a good pianist and memoirist, but her relationship with Solzhenitsyn largely determined her life.

They met in 1938, when they were students at Rostov University, and got married two years later. In the decades that followed, they divorced, remarried, and divorced again. Their relationship was marked by bitterness, recrimination, infidelity, but also forgiveness, reconciliation and love. They reflected the time in which they lived.

Reshetovskaya was born into a Cossack family in the southern city of Novocherkassk. Her father was a participant in the First World War, and in civil war fought against the communists. In 1919 he fled the country. The daughter was raised by her mother and three aunts in Rostov-on-Don.

They met Solzhenitsyn at the height of the bloody Stalinist purges. A year after their marriage, they were separated by the Second World War during which he was captain of the artillery. In 1945 he was arrested and sentenced to 8 years in prison for speaking disrespectfully about Stalin in a letter to a friend.

At first he was in the infamous Lubyanka prison. Reshetovskaya every day went to the Neskuchny Garden in the hope of catching a glimpse of him. Later, when he was in prison and then in exile in Central Asia, she was allowed to write to him once a month, but she could receive letters from him only twice a year.

In the early 50s, Reshetovskaya got a job at an agricultural research institute in Ryazan. She had uterine cancer but survived. With the consent of Solzhenitsyn, she received a divorce and was going to marry Vsevolod Somov.

But in 1956, almost on the eve of her wedding, Solzhenitsyn, like a character in one of his novels, returned from exile. He presented her with several of his poems, one of which said:

"At night, hiding his lips in a glass,

I whisper inaudibly to others

My love, we have wasted so much time! "

In her memoirs, Reshetovskaya writes that she replied: "I was created to love only you, but fate decreed otherwise."

She and Somov got married, but soon she left him and remarried to Solzhenitsyn. They lived together peacefully for several years.

In 1962, everything changed. Solzhenitsyn burst into literature by publishing in Moscow a story about prison life, One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich.

At first, Nikita Khrushchev patronized him. But losing the illusion about Soviet system Solzhenitsyn became an increasingly fearless and harsh critic of her. His works were published in the West, being banned in the Soviet Union. He entered into a confrontation with the authorities.

At the same time, his personal life was extremely confused. He had many love stories. When Reshetovskaya reproached him, he replied:

"Please understand me. In the novel I have to describe many women. You don't expect me to find all my heroines at the dinner table, do you?"

Earlier, for a similar reason, he insisted that they should not have children; they would prevent him from writing.

In 1970 (this year he received the Nobel Prize) Solzhenitsyn learned that Natalya Svetlova, one of his free typists, was expecting a child from him. He told Reshetovskaya about this. They say she wanted to commit suicide, like Anna Karenina - by throwing herself under the train. She and Solzhenitsyn divorced a second time.

In 1973, Solzhenitsyn married Svetlova. And in 1974, after he published The Gulag Archipelago in the West, the Soviet authorities forced Solzhenitsyn to leave the country.

According to some reports, the KGB recruited Reshetovskaya and gave her the task of convincing Solzhenitsyn that he should not authorize the publication of the book. She later published several volumes of memoirs in which she speaks very critically about her ex-husband. In her book Sanya, my husband Alexander Solzhenitsyn, she goes so far as to deny the existence of the system described by the GULAG.

She claimed that she had never betrayed him.

In 1994, after the collapse of the USSR, Solzhenitsyn returned to Russia.

He helped Reshetovskaya financially, but they did not maintain personal relationships. Solzhenitsyn gave money to organize her funeral.

Until her death, Reshetovskaya lived alone in a small Moscow apartment, surrounded by photographs and things that reminded of the great love in her life.

In the summer of 1947 he was transferred to the Marfinskaya "Sharashka", where he would later describe his life in the novel "The First Circle".
