Opinion of Vysotsky's friends about Oksana Afanasyeva. Life after Vysotsky: what happened to the poet’s beloved women

Vladimir Vysotsky was indeed officially married to Marina Vladi until his death. But it must be said that this was his third marriage, and only the fact of his death prevented the fourth from taking place - with a 20-year-old girl named Oksana Pavlovna Yarmolnik (at that time Afanasyeva).

The reason that very little is known about Vysotsky’s last love is that Yarmolnik’s real wife Oksana remained silent for a long time about her relationship with famous actor-bard. When they met, Ksyusha was only 18. The age difference with Vladimir is 22 years.

But they were not bored together, because Oksana Afanasyeva, the daughter of a Soviet writer who bore the double surname Afanasyev-Sevastyanov, grew up in a creative environment of intellectuals. Among her friends there were many writers, artists, and actors.

In addition, at this time the girl was already living independently, having decided to exchange her parents’ apartment after the death of her mother. Oksana just had to grow up early. She studied at a textile institute and was preparing to become a clothing designer. It is clear that she dressed very stylishly and tastefully.

Perhaps exactly appearance initially attracted Vysotsky when he noticed Oksana at the Taganka Theater near the entrance to the administrator’s office. Many people note that Oksana’s type has some similarities with Marina Vladi. Vladimir was quick to ask for his phone number and make an appointment.

At that time, the girl had a fiancé and was planning a wedding, so she shared with her friend her doubts about whether it was worth going on this date. Initially to Oksana famous person made no impression. However, after the first communication with Vysotsky, she broke ties with her boyfriend.

From the first days of their acquaintance, Vladimir Vysotsky began to zealously take care of Oksana, who, being then a student, naturally needed help and support, both moral and financial. She did not immediately learn about the actor’s addiction to alcohol and drugs. But even imagining the seriousness of the situation, the girl did not break off her connection with him.

Moreover, Oksana Yarmolnik even now perceives information in the press about Vysotsky’s illness with irritation and excitement, when they are trying to portray his personality as a promiscuous drunkard and drug addict. After all, Vladimir was actively filming until the very end, preparing for his first directorial work. And only occasionally this frantic rhythm was disrupted by breakdowns.

Oksana was next to the actor when he experienced clinical death on the set in Bukhara. This moment is depicted in the film "Vysotsky. Thank you for being alive." She was there when a loved one suffered from unbearable withdrawal symptoms.

Although there are those who condemn Oksana for the last moments of his life, believing that her actions only brought the actor’s death closer. Everyone is free to perceive the situation in their own way. Moreover, the characters themselves love triangle, are also free to be frank or silent.

This is what Marina Vladi did when she kept silent in her book about the fact of the existence of Vysotsky’s last lover and that she was going to come to Russia to sort things out with her husband. Vladimir and Oksana were going to get married without dissolving his official marriage to Vladi.

Oksana Yarmolnik was also silent for a long time and did not give any interviews. The biography of Yarmolnik’s wife, journalists believe, would hardly be of interest to anyone today if not for those 2 years spent with the famous actor. When leaving Vladimir Vysotsky’s apartment, Oksana did not take any of the things given to her from there. All that remains is the memory of a loved one.

The bitterness of loss troubled me for more than a year, until a young man appeared on the way, talented actor from the same Taganka - Leonid Yarmolnik. Oksana believes that it was Vladimir who first introduced them, talking about Leonid. About the fact that Volodya handed over some of his theatrical roles to him.

They also watched the film “The Same Munchausen” with Yarmolnik’s participation together. 2 years after Vysotsky’s death, Afanasyeva became Oksana Yarmolnik in connection with her official marriage. Personal life, thanks to this marital union, was a success. And despite Yarmolnik’s numerous previous marriages, he and Oksana have been together for 30 years.

Oksana Pavlovna Yarmolnik is a fairly well-known costume designer in the theater world today. Most often, she had the opportunity to design costumes and sets for the Tabakov theater studio and for Sovremennik. Moreover, she has a private studio for making soft toys.

However, more often Oksana is positioned simply as the wife of actor and producer Leonid Yarmolnik, nothing more. The spouses already adult daughter- Alexandra. She also chose a creative profession and is a glass artist. But those 2 years with Vladimir Vysotsky left an indelible mark on my soul. And despite all the joint trials, the memories are only warm.

Notes

An excerpt characterizing Yarmolnik, Oksana Pavlovna

-Where are you going? Stop here! - voices whispered to Lazarev, who did not know where to go. Lazarev stopped, looked sideways at the colonel in fear, and his face trembled, as happens with soldiers called to the front.
Napoleon slightly turned his head back and pulled back his small chubby hand, as if wanting to take something. The faces of his retinue, having guessed at that very second what was going on, began to fuss and whisper, passing something on to one another, and the page, the same one whom Rostov saw yesterday at Boris’s, ran forward and respectfully bent over his outstretched hand and did not make her wait either. one second, he put an order on a red ribbon into it. Napoleon, without looking, clenched two fingers. The Order found itself between them. Napoleon approached Lazarev, who, rolling his eyes, stubbornly continued to look only at his sovereign, and looked back at Emperor Alexander, thereby showing that what he was doing now, he was doing for his ally. A small white hand with an order touched the button of soldier Lazarev. It was as if Napoleon knew that in order for this soldier to be happy, rewarded and distinguished from everyone else in the world forever, it was only necessary for him, Napoleon’s hand, to be deigned to touch the soldier’s chest. Napoleon just put the cross to Lazarev's chest and, letting go of his hand, turned to Alexander, as if he knew that the cross should stick to Lazarev's chest. The cross really stuck.
Helpful Russian and French hands instantly picked up the cross and attached it to the uniform. Lazarev looked gloomily at little man, with white hands, who did something above him, and continued to hold motionless on guard, again began to look straight into Alexander’s eyes, as if he was asking Alexander: whether he should still stand, or whether they would order him to walk now, or maybe anything else to do? But he was not ordered to do anything, and he remained in this motionless state for quite a long time.
The sovereigns mounted and rode away. The Preobrazhentsy, breaking up the ranks, mixed with the French guards and sat down at the tables prepared for them.
Lazarev sat in a place of honor; Russians hugged him, congratulated him, and shook hands with him. French officers. Crowds of officers and people came up just to look at Lazarev. The roar of Russian French conversation and laughter stood in the square around the tables. Two officers with flushed faces, cheerful and happy, walked past Rostov.
- What is the treat, brother? “Everything is on silver,” said one. – Have you seen Lazarev?
- Saw.
“Tomorrow, they say, the Preobrazhensky people will treat them.”
- No, Lazarev is so lucky! 10 francs life pension.
- That's the hat, guys! - shouted the Transfiguration man, putting on the shaggy Frenchman’s hat.
- It’s a miracle, how good, lovely!
-Have you heard the review? - the guards officer said to the other. The third day was Napoleon, France, bravoure; [Napoleon, France, courage;] yesterday Alexandre, Russie, grandeur; [Alexander, Russia, greatness;] one day our sovereign gives feedback, and the next day Napoleon. Tomorrow the Emperor will send George to the bravest of the French guards. It's impossible! I must answer in kind.
Boris and his friend Zhilinsky also came to watch the Transfiguration banquet. Returning back, Boris noticed Rostov, who was standing at the corner of the house.
- Rostov! Hello; “We never saw each other,” he told him, and could not resist asking him what had happened to him: Rostov’s face was so strangely gloomy and upset.
“Nothing, nothing,” answered Rostov.
-Will you come in?
- Yes, I’ll come in.
Rostov stood at the corner for a long time, looking at the feasters from afar. A painful work was going on in his mind, which he could not complete. Terrible doubts arose in my soul. Then he remembered Denisov with his changed expression, with his humility, and the whole hospital with these severed arms and legs, with this dirt and disease. It seemed to him so vividly that he could now smell this hospital smell of a dead body that he looked around to understand where this smell could come from. Then he remembered this smug Bonaparte with his white hand, who was now the emperor, whom Emperor Alexander loves and respects. What are the torn off arms, legs, and killed people for? Then he remembered the awarded Lazarev and Denisov, punished and unforgiven. He caught himself having such strange thoughts that he was frightened by them.
The smell of food from the Preobrazhentsev and hunger brought him out of this state: he had to eat something before leaving. He went to the hotel he had seen in the morning. At the hotel he found so many people, officers, just like him, who had arrived in civilian dress, that he had to force himself to have dinner. Two officers from the same division joined him. The conversation naturally turned to peace. The officers and comrades of Rostov, like most of the army, were dissatisfied with the peace concluded after Friedland. They said that if they had held out any longer, Napoleon would have disappeared, that he had no crackers or ammunition in his troops. Nikolai ate in silence and mostly drank. He drank one or two bottles of wine. The internal work that arose in him, not being resolved, still tormented him. He was afraid to indulge in his thoughts and could not leave them. Suddenly, at the words of one of the officers that it was offensive to look at the French, Rostov began to shout with vehemence, which was not justified in any way, and therefore greatly surprised the officers.

The 13th Fashion Week ended in Moscow at Gostiny Dvor, where 43 leading domestic and foreign couturiers presented their models.

Compared to last year, our fashion has moved further along the path of commercialization. Most of the collections are made in the spirit of Western design (Nina Donis, Alena Akhmadullina, Victoria Andrianova), and only Slava Zaitsev and Oksana Yarmolnik showed romantic collections that can be assessed as collections for the soul.

Zaitsev looked back at the Soviet 40s - 60s, when after the war women suddenly began to look for ways to please. Oksana Yarmolnik showed the “Sensations” collection, made from linen in the spirit of minimalism. These are clothes for women whose pronounced sexuality does not repel men.

Theater artist

It was no coincidence that a powerful support group came to her shows in the person of Oleg Yankovsky and his wife, Leonid Yarmolnik, Igor Vernik: after all, Oksana is a theater artist. She has been working at the theater since 1984. She has performed more than 80 performances at Tabakerka, at the Moscow Art Theater, at Sovremennik, at the Theater on Malaya Bronnaya. Each item is made by hand and exists in one copy.

“I have two collections,” says Oksana, “one in the showroom is for children, the other is shown on the catwalk - this is a collection women's clothing"Spring - Summer 2005". She has no commercial prospects, but I’m actually not very interested in working in the fashion industry, although I graduated from a textile institute. I realize myself in something else - as a theatrical costume designer. I'm finally working on interiors. (Oksana created fashionable forged screens, three-leaf, with rust effects).

- Did you work in the cinema?

I tried to work in cinema and I don’t do it anymore. The costume designer is interested in art cinema, where the costume is an integral part work of art. But simply dressing someone is boring and uninteresting. The theater completely satisfies all my creative ambitions.

The artistic director of the Theater on Malaya Bronnaya, Lev Durov, said that you are a very strict artist, extremely demanding, and he is even afraid of you.

I am pleased to work with him, he does not interfere with my creativity, and this results in co-authorship.

- Do you have any favorite actors?

I love working with Marina Zudina because she has a great feel for the image. For her, a stage costume is, first of all, a costume for a character.

Femme fatale

Oksana Yarmolnik became a femme fatale for Vladimir Vysotsky. Vysotsky met her two years before his death.

Oksana and Vysotsky, as has been described more than once, collided with the administrator of the Taganka Theater. “Listen,” she told her friend, “I don’t want to meet him.” And she: “What are you?! Yes, all women Soviet Union they just dream of being in your place!” She mentally imagined countless numbers of these women - and went on a date.

They met like two family members: “I think he also had something to discuss with me. Nowadays young people are not interested in anything except money. But our generation was completely different, we knew a lot, although there were no computers, we read a lot, including and banned books, went to underground performances and concerts, no one thought about money. It was a time of romance, which, alas, was gradually disappearing from our lives.

Wherever he appeared: in the company of friends or in a huge hall at a concert, he easily subdued everyone with his charm.

Marina Vladi was far away, Oksana perceived her as his relative, her existence did not affect their relationship in any way.

The most important words in her life Oksana heard only a year after she met Vysotsky. This happened in Bukhara. They lived in a hotel. Vysotsky suddenly experienced clinical death. He was miraculously saved. A local doctor helped. He gave injections into the subclavian artery. When Vysotsky regained consciousness, the first thing he said was: “I love you.” Vysotsky never used such words.

Oksana was with him on that fateful night when Vladimir Semenovich died. This was in 1980. The company has gathered. Photographer V. Nisanov recalled: “...They drank until 2 am. Then Ksyusha (Oksana Yarmolnik), doctor Tolya Fedotov and Seva Abdulov went to his apartment. Ksyusha remained in the apartment with Vysotsky. At 4.30 in the morning it became known that Volodya had died. .. When the doctor approached Vysotsky, he was cold.”

She left his apartment immediately after the funeral. Not to mention some personal things - she didn’t even take documents. “We were naive and believed that since the church was separated from the Soviet state, we could easily be married without stamps in our passports... Volodya found one priest who fell under his charm and agreed to marry us. But it didn’t work out...”

He lived life to the fullest. “One role of Hamlet is already a small death”...

Another life

Two years after Vysotsky’s death, she married Leonid Yarmolnik and gave birth to a daughter, Sasha.

- With Yarmolnik you began a completely different life...

Yes. We also met Lenya at the Taganka Theater. Then we met by chance at a party...

Yarmolnik worked at the Taganka Theater for 7 years. He didn’t have star roles, but he had urgent appointments instead of Vysotsky. In 1983 he left the theater.

Your husband played in V. Todorovsky’s film “My stepbrother Frankenstein", which premiered with great success. How would you rate his work?

It's a difficult question. Now everyone is interested in commercial cinema, and Lenya became the producer of this film. This work will never have mass audience success like "Night Watch". This picture is very deep. Those who have seen it remain in a state of some kind of depression after watching it. What seems to us to be happening somewhere on the side can suddenly affect you too...

On Yarmolnik’s 50th birthday, Oksana gave her husband a surprise. Leonid opened the garage, and instead of his Mercedes there is a Pobeda made in 1954 - the year in which Lenya was born.

But it turned out that moving Oksana Yarmolnik was not at all easy. I decided that one day with a person like Volodya was better than a whole life with that friend of mine” (this rule, apparently, did not apply to Yarmolnik). He actually introduced Yarmolnik to his future wife. Here’s what Oksana herself said about it: “I remember when the film “That Same Munchausen” came out, Volodya and I watched it together.

I had eighteen pairs of boots, my friends introduced me like this: “Meet Oksana, she has eighteen pairs of boots.” Thank you, Oksana, for your support in the last years of my life, to this big, lonely and very unhappy man! The benefit of the article for me personally: Take the example of Yarmolnik as a balanced and balanced person.

Oksana made it clear to ME with this article that she has not and is not basking in the glory of Vladimir. Yarmolnik, an exemplary family man, loving husband And caring father, was not previously known for his constancy in romantic relationships. Judging by the number of marriages and divorces that happened in Yarmolnik’s early youth, his intentions were serious, but not stable.

A significant age difference, Vysotsky’s legal wife, his bad habits- all this might frighten someone, but not Oksana. Vysotsky, who was suffering from withdrawal symptoms, died next to Oksana when, exhausted, she went to sleep in another room for a couple of hours. It turned out that after Vysotsky left, it was Yarmolnik who got some of his roles in the theater; during his lifetime, Vladimir Semenovich himself gave some of the roles to his young colleague.

Vladimir Vysotsky called her his last love. And then you met Vysotsky. Vladimir Semenovich was absolutely, completely, one hundred percent a genius man. This is absolute nonsense. For those two last year that we knew each other, Volodya starred in the film “The Meeting Place Cannot Be Changed” and in “Little Tragedies.” And so they got into the Mercedes, and after a couple of minutes they realized that, in fact, Vysotsky was driving them. And imagine me in all these Diors and Yves Saint Laurents at a time of terrible shortages, when a pair of decent shoes was a problem.

Thanks to Oksana for last minutes Vysotsky's life she was next to him. Still, dying is scary. I join Palych. That is, in order to consider information of this level, you need to rise to these heights with your Spirit. Vysotsky lived on the highest note and spent incredibly.

Biography of Yarmolnik (Afanasyeva) Oksana Pavlovna

Vysotsky was so fascinated by the beautiful blonde that he made every effort to continue this acquaintance. In 1983, the couple had a daughter, Alexandra, in whom Yarmolnik literally dotes. To this day, he talks about his only daughter with great warmth, tenderness and paternal pride. This profession still brings her great pleasure; Oksana devotes a considerable part of her time to working with the best Moscow theaters.

Author's dolls and toys by Oksana Yarmolnik

Vysotsky is like a minefield now. Everyone who is not too lazy writes memories about him, and then other not lazy people refute these memories. Is it possible to come up with something new about an affair between a 19-year-old girl and a 40-year-old? famous artist? I always decided everything myself: where to study, who to be friends with, who to love. I was an avid theatergoer. I don't even remember what we were looked - all I was debating whether to go to the performance or not. And so I crumple the program in my hands, turn it over... “Listen,” I tell my friend, “I don’t want to meet him.”

Yarmolnik and Kostolevsky brought their wives into the world

At the same time, yes, he drank and was on the needle. But this was interspersed with exhausting work, racing against illness. Were you not sobered up when you learned about all his vices? I was madly in love. Absolutely everyone drank then, and creative people even more so.

I would give anything in the world to cure him. We were all afraid that they would find out about it: it was easier to go to prison for drugs than to the hospital. And it was enough for me that we were together.

Volodya was worried about my unsettled fate, because he couldn’t give me more. He had hundreds of friends in America, France, and Germany. The people who loved Volodya, were close to him, are not exactly sacred to me, but beyond criticism.

And yet, Volodya found one priest who fell under his charm and agreed to marry us. From the first minute of conversation, each of us had the feeling that we had met dear person. Sometimes it seemed that we knew each other before, then we separated for a while and then we met again.

Popular news about stars

This was well-deserved fame, because no one was specifically promoting it, as they do now. Actually, it’s not easy, I know from my own experience. There are two specialized fabric stores throughout Paris. I went to college with all this, to a class called “embodiment in the material.”

“I like it,” he said, “when you wear something new every day.” Or: “But this is my special luck.” But how much? The entire room was filled with lilies of the valley. In general, this is it fairy tale life, where everything was mixed: both his breakdowns and his tenderness. It really was some kind of unlikely love.

It's like a theater play: the more serious the conflict, the more interesting it is to watch. Two years passed, I met Lenya - and a completely different story began. At one time I openly ran after Vladi, afraid of missing out, and then the distant “Marinka” and a double life. In general, I was not inspired as a person. May she be happy. Well, I really, really, really don’t like critics of other people’s lives! At least have time to figure it out before the final!

Therefore, people have the RIGHT to express their opinions. And if it is even NEGATIVE, then from my point of view this is not criticism, but OPINION. Just an opinion and nothing more. These people are completely indifferent to me in order to criticize them, with the exception of their creativity or other things on which you can make money, get relaxation or useful information. And thirdly, I really, really, really don’t like people who like to shut other people’s mouths! At least have time to shut yours up completely!

She mourned the death of Vladimir Semenovich for a year, but fate gave Afanasyeva another chance, giving her a meeting with Leonid Yarmolnik. Oksana’s article is public, and Vysotsky wanted to be so and enjoyed it.

Those who know Leonid Yarmolnik personally say that in his heart he is no more than 25 years old. He is still active and loves big companies and joke. Yarmolnik’s wife Oksana and daughter Alexandra, whom he dotes on, help preserve his youthful spirit.

Always in love

Leonid s early childhood He was active and restless. He easily met people and made friends. He was also very amorous. He first fell in love while studying at the Shchukin School. His first love was Galina.

The girl was older than Leonid and treated his feelings very condescendingly. But even this circumstance did not prevent the guy from experiencing all the delights of falling in love. Later Galina moved to South Sakhalin, but this did not stop the actor from supporting friendly relations with her.

Yarmolnik became an actor in the Taganka Theater and met his first serious love there. It's about about the actress of the same theater Zoya Pylnova. The chosen one was also older than Leonid, but the couple did not feel the age difference. Soon after the meeting they began to live together.

The relationship between Leonid Yarmolnik and Zoya Pylnova was destroyed by tragedy. Zoya was pregnant, but due to health problems she was unable to give birth to a child. She had a miscarriage in the seventh month. The couple took this tragedy seriously and began to move away from their husband and withdraw into themselves. Soon she left Yarmolnik and returned to her ex-husband.

Leonid Yarmolnik's first wife is Elena Koneva. They got married, but their marriage soon broke up. It only lasted a year. What caused the separation is still unknown.

True love

Yarmolnik met his true love Oksana Afanasyeva already in mature age. The couple met thanks to Vladimir Vysotsky. It was he who introduced the young people. Oksana worked in the same Taganka theater as Vysotsky and Yarmolnik. There she created theatrical costumes.

Since childhood, Oksana was surrounded by film and pop artists, because her father was a famous Soviet writer. Since childhood, the girl has been accustomed to receiving only the best. She got good education in a special school with a French bias. After school, I easily entered college and after graduation became a fashion designer.

Oksana met Vladimir Vysotsky at the age of 18. At that time, the actor was not interesting to her as a man.

She was in love with his work and with him as a person. But it was with Oksana that the actor and singer was destined to live the last two years of his life.

They loved each other, although many considered the relationship between Oksana and Vladimir to be nothing more than a hobby.

But for the girl this relationship was the first true love. They were connected by more than just a bed.

And for Vladimir Vysotsky, the girl became a sip fresh air. He was even planning to divorce legal wife Marina Vladi. But Oksana refused such an offer.

For her, the stamp in the passport was not important. What was important was the relationship and trust that existed between them. She was ready to endure everything, even Vysotsky’s betrayal. The couple was even planning to get married.

Although this required officially registering the relationship, Vladimir found a priest who agreed to do this without stamps in the passports. But this was not destined to happen. Vysotsky died right in Oksana’s arms, having managed to say that he loved her.

Happy acquaintance

The girl liked Yarmolnik in absentia. She didn't know him personally, but noted him great game in the film "That Munchausen". The girl went to the premiere of this film with Vysotsky.

Later she found out that Leonid and Vladimir were working together in the theater. It was Vysotsky who introduced Oksana to Yarmolnik.

At that time, Oksana did not give acquaintance special attention. The reacquaintance occurred two years after Vysotsky’s death. Yarmolnik inherited almost all the roles that Vladimir Semenovich played in the theater. And Oksana at that time worked at the Taganka Theater as a costume designer.

Interesting notes:

Meeting Leonid was quite banal. She asked him to light a cigarette. Then a conversation ensued. Even then, the girl felt that the actor had powerful charisma and she was drawn to him. Yarmolnik reminded her of her first love.

Strong family

The couple married in 1982. A year later their daughter Alexandra was born. Oksana and Leonid were simply happy and enjoying family life. Her husband supported Oksana’s idea of not staying on maternity leave for long, and when her daughter was one year old, she went to work. The girl began working in the theater and creating costumes for actors.

The spouses admit that they family life can't be called boring. Leonid has an explosive character: he can cause scandals several times a day. Yarmolnik’s wife takes this calmly, because she knows very well that her husband loves her and him Bad mood, this is temporary.

Today Oksana and Leonid are happy together. They do what they love and their lives are inextricably linked with the theater. There is always a piece of their soul in it, because it was thanks to the theater that they found their happiness.
