Personal life of Maria Maksakova: lovers, children, tragedies. Hereditary tragedy of the Maksakovs

"had to use almost stratagem. Through intermediaries in Lithuania, journalists reached intermediaries in Lvov. They agreed in Kyiv with local journalists, far from politics, who were supposed to ask our questions to Maria. Maria Petrovna came for an interview with the guards and personal press secretary, which prompted her with answers, and from the threshold began to find out whose questions she was actually answering. She did not expose the NTV journalists, and no one could imagine that the interview would end in a scandal.

In Moscow, the opera diva Maksakova and her husband Denis Voronenkov had everything: power, money, career and luxurious life. However, the couple fled to Ukraine. In Kyiv, the fugitives will be greeted with open arms, and for this they will stigmatize Russia at all costs. Voronenkov will be assigned to political process to play the role of a witness in the Yanukovych case, to which he had no connection before. For Poroshenko, this project will become even more successful when shots are fired in the center of Kyiv. On March 23, Denis Voronenkov will be shot in the city center, and the film crew of Poroshenko’s TV channel accidentally ends up at the murder scene at the same time as the killer.

So the singer Maksakova from happy wife will turn into an inconsolable widow with a baby in her arms. Then she has a serious fight with her mom famous actress Lyudmila Maksakova, then secretly sign a waiver from her older children Lucy and Ilya in favor of ex-husband Vladimir Tyurin, whom she herself accused of the contract murder of Voronenkov.

Former State Duma deputy Maria Maksakova now even those who are not interested in opera or politics know it by sight.

A young, attractive woman, a mother of three children, celebrating her 40th birthday today, is popular on the Internet in a way that she was not popular during the years of her singing and theater career and during the period of “serving time” in a building on Okhotny Ryad. The reason for this is her flight to Ukraine with her husband Denis Voronenkov, then And as a consequence of all this - a real tragic farce. Literally - dancing on bones.

Masha changes her hairstyle. Sings. Sits on the splits. Wears furs in summer. Taking pictures with Saakashvili. Now any step of Maksakova, captured by the paparazzi, is discussed as greatest event century. The unexpected “resurrection” of the late husband, who was allegedly “seen alive and well in Israel,” added to the noise.

Yes, now Maria Petrovna Jr. needs to somehow survive in a foreign land. You have to be more sophisticated. Even my mother won’t help here - it seems that the prima of the Vakhtangov Theater Lyudmila Maksakova no longer has any relationship with her daughter.

It's amazing that women's destinies All three Maksakovs are not easy. With external well-being, even wealth, family happiness it didn't come easy for them. They suffered and tossed about. They married the “wrong” men. They did stupid things. Not one of them managed to create a cozy nest the first time. So that - once and for all. But, what is even more curious, the fate of each lady included foreign husbands (and associated problems) and second citizenship. They could not do without politics and accusations of betrayal of their homeland, which made their life even more difficult...

“Where is my Carmen?”

Maria Petrovna Sr. Three-time winner of the Stalin Prize, prima of the Bolshoi Theater, performer of Russian romances.

It seems her life was meant to be cup full. And fate began to test the future star in childhood.

The girl was born into a prosperous family. But my father is an employee of the Volga Shipping Company Petr Sidorov- died early, and at the age of eight the eldest Marusya had to go earn money. She was paid a ruble a month for singing in a church choir. At the age of 17, Maria was already enrolled in the troupe of the Astrakhan Opera Theater.

And in the summer of 1919, a native of Austria, a famous baritone and opera entrepreneur, came to the city on tour. Maximilian Maksakov. He became the new manager of the troupe and immediately entrusted Masha Sidorova with several interesting roles. At the same time, he noted that, although she has talent and a voice, the girl cannot sing at all. She asked Maximilian Karlovich to work out with her - he had no time for her. Maria went to the Petrograd Conservatory. However, having learned from Professor Glazunov, who has a lyric soprano, hurried to return to Astrakhan.

Maria Petrovna herself later recalled that upon returning to her homeland, she very soon became not only Maksakov’s student, but also his wife. However early marriage Marusya Sidorova gave rise to many legends that would later accompany her throughout her life. later life. They even said that Maximilian connected his life with a simple poor girl at the request of dying wife. Who knows? Maria was 18 years old at that time, he was 50.

Maksakova’s granddaughter, her full namesake, would later say: her grandmother wanted to become a singer so much that only Maximilian could help her. He will take her to Moscow, they will live for 16 years. And until the end of her days, Maria Petrovna will call him best husband and human.

She will devote almost 30 years to the Bolshoi Theater and become the voice of this stage. And at the same time for many years will live in fear and not sleep at night. Shudder at every rustle outside the window. Wait for the “black funnel” to come for her sooner or later.

The singer’s daughter Lyudmila Maksakova recalled: Maria Petrovna and Maximilian Karlovich were building a cooperative in Bryusov Lane, and one day the singer needed her husband’s passport. Having opened his document for the first time, she almost fainted: it turns out that her beloved is a citizen of Austria, and his last name is not Maksakov at all (it was just a pseudonym), but Schwartz. 1930s. There are enemies of the people and spies all around. Arrests, denunciations. She immediately closed the curtains and burned her passport in a frying pan. From then on, fear settled in her heart. And in 1936, my husband died.

After enduring a year of mourning, Maria Maksakova decided on a new relationship. While on tour in Warsaw, she met the USSR Ambassador to Poland and the founder of foreign intelligence Yakov Davtyan. But this relationship was not destined to be either long or happy. They lived only six months. Davtyan was shot, and she, as the wife of an enemy of the people, faced deportation. If not Stalin. It is known that he was a big theater lover, often went to the opera, and knew Maksakova. “Where is my Carmen?” the leader suddenly asked. And the singer was immediately taken to the Kremlin.

Is it any wonder that when 38-year-old Maria Maksakova gave birth to her long-awaited daughter in 1940, rumors immediately spread throughout Moscow that the girl’s father was “the father of all times and peoples.” No one knew how it really happened. Later Lyudmila Vasilyevna will tell you that her mother gave birth to Bolshoi Theater soloist Alexander Volkov. But he did not want to recognize his daughter and during World War II he fled to the USA, automatically becoming an enemy of the people.

So, if Maria Petrovna had not erased Volkov from her life, Lyudmila would have faced the fate of the daughter of a traitor to her homeland. Maksakova Sr. could not allow this. And she wrote down her daughter as “Lyudmila Vasilievna.” The future prima of the Vakhtangov Theater received her middle name from a family friend Vasily Novikova- employee of the State Security Service. They say that it was he who helped Maria Petrovna and little Lyusya evacuate to Astrakhan during the war.

Then the singer had to work and raise a child. Just live peacefully. There was no great personal happiness, however. And three Stalin Prizes of the first degree could hardly help in its possession. And in 1953 she was overtaken terrible blow and in your career. A youthful, still in good shape singer Bolshoi Theater unexpectedly sent me into retirement.

Maksakova was 51 years old. But even at this young age she was able to start new life. What it cost her is a separate topic. She came to the folk orchestra named after. Osipova, began to perform Russian songs and romances. And the country applauded her again. But in order to feed herself and her daughter, Maria Petrovna was forced to earn extra money by teaching students. Her daughter hardly saw her. Mother kept Lucy under a tight rein and never had a heart-to-heart talk with her. But main lesson which Lyudmila Vasilievna received from Maria Petrovna: we must work. And I tried to follow him.

“Knocked a man down and ran away?”

Strictness in education and restrictions in entertainment led to the opposite result in the life of young Lyudmila Maksakova. Having entered drama school, contrary to her mother’s advice, to become a translator and graduate from a foreign language, the aspiring actress began experimenting with her appearance. She dyed her hair and was fond of bright makeup. The taste of freedom was sweet. Lyudmila had little interest in studying. Student parties were much more attractive. It’s no wonder that the beauty quickly got married. For her sake artist Zbarsky He even left his fashion model wife.

Lev and Lyudmila were young, loved each other and their friends. There were always guests in the house. The actress went grocery shopping, cooked, and washed dishes. At the same time, the artist demanded that she take care of herself, and he himself was jealous and often started scandals. None of them wanted to register officially.

As Lyudmila Vasilievna later said, the talented artist never had 15 rubles for a stamp in his passport. And she always had a lot of work.

At the age of 29, Lyudmila became pregnant. It was hard to carry Maxim. And when he was born, Leo had to adopt him. He gave the boy his middle name and last name. However, the relationship with Lyudmila very soon faded away. She returned to her mother, Lev decided to emigrate to America.

My mother's mistakes taught me nothing. Fate wanted Lyudmila to learn from her own experience. And the life of the son of an emigrant in the Soviet Union would hardly have been happy. Most likely, he would not have been accepted into a decent institute, would not have been accepted for good job. Abroad would certainly be closed to him. This is how Lyudmila Maksakova reasoned before going to the registry office and... submitting documents for the de-adoption of Maxim Zbarsky. She rewrote her son's name. Lev left safely and did not have to pay alimony for 15 years in advance before leaving, as required by Soviet law. He simply didn't have that kind of money. Lev Zbarsky never even called his son. Not long ago the artist passed away.

With a small child in her arms, Lyudmila continued her search for personal happiness. But the second bright novel was also overshadowed by tragedy.

WITH Mikael Tariverdiev Lyudmila Maksakova met at the Akter sanatorium. Handsome, impressive, dressed to the nines, the owner of water skis and a Volga with a deer on the hood, the composer immediately made an impression on the actress. Both were free and ready for new romantic relationships. They only lasted three years. A beautiful fairy tale has ended car accident, in which a young stranger was injured. The young man ran across Leningradsky Prospekt near the Sovetskaya Hotel - a girl was waiting for him on the other side - and found himself under the wheels of Tariverdiev’s car.

The story that happened to the composer and actress became the basis for the film script Eldara Ryazanova"Station for two." They talked a lot about her in those years. But how it really happened, Lyudmila Maksakova and the widow Mikaela Tariverdieva tell differently.

The widow says that Lyudmila was driving, and Mikael, like a decent noble man, took the blame upon himself. The actress assures that there were a lot of witnesses - Tariverdiev himself drove the car. As Lyudmila Vasilievna said, the most terrible one at night it was that Mikael did not stop, but even increased speed. Apparently there was a shock. And only when some military man caught up with them and shouted: “What, you bastard, knocked down a man and ran away?!”, Tariverdiev turned around and drove to the crime scene. The composer had a famous lawyer, and he was given a suspended sentence. However, that story ruined Tariverdiev’s life. Having suffered several heart attacks, he died quite early.

German citizen, Latvian Peter Paul Andreas Igenbergs whose ancestors once left Tsarist Russia, became the first and only legal husband of Lyudmila Maksakova. A physicist and businessman, Peter worked in Moscow. According to one version, they met by chance, at the entrance. And there the man proposed to the actress. According to another version, they finally met in the apartment - at a party on the occasion of Maksakova’s conferment of the title of “honored”. However, this just doesn’t matter.

For a year and a half, Peter and Lyudmila looked closely at each other. Although, maybe she was looking closely. And he was so persistent from the very beginning that he was ready to run to the registry office almost the next day. As a result, he “starved out.” And when they submitted an application to Griboedovsky, they began to get on their nerves and demand the most incredible certificates about relatives up to the seventh generation.

Finally, Peter and Lyudmila signed. Although in 1974, marriage with a foreigner was considered almost a betrayal of the homeland. And her colleagues reacted differently to her marriage. Only a few found the strength to sincerely rejoice. Mostly, they were jealous. And many simply stopped communicating with her. For the upcoming tour to Greece, her name was not on the list. She became restricted from traveling abroad. They stopped inviting her to filming and photo tests. My husband had problems getting in and out. Once, when Maria Petrovna Maksakova was dying, they did not want to let him into the Union, and Lyudmila Vasilievna called Gromyko’s assistant. If my husband is not given a visa, I will throw myself out of the window,” she shouted into the phone. And Peter managed to say goodbye to his mother-in-law.

Only in this marriage, Lyudmila Maksakova later admits, did she feel truly happy. Only with Peter did I understand what it means to be “like behind a stone wall.” He raised Maxim as his own son, although " good people“Of course, they told the truth. And on July 24, 1977, in Munich, the couple had a daughter, who was named in honor of Maria Petrovna.

“During the day I love United Russia, at night I love the communist!”

Like Lyudmila Vasilievna once upon a time, as a teenager Maria also began to wear makeup madly, rebelled, and was offended by her mother. Once she even tried to open her veins. Lyudmila Maksakova herself spoke about this in frank interview. But she seemed to be “justifying herself”: most likely, it was only a desire to prove that she was right, to scare her mother.

“My husband Vladimir Anatolyevich is a respectable businessman with experience family life, 19 years older than me,” Maria Maksakova, who, like her grandmother, became an opera singer, said in an interview with a glossy magazine.

Having seen her on TV, Tyurin immediately fell in love and began to wait for Maria in the Hermitage garden. And he was probably as assertive as he once was future father Maria - in relation to her mother.

Unfortunately, there are no other similarities. “His life was ready for my appearance in it: the finished frame was waiting for its gem,” Maria Maksakova expressed herself floridly in the same interview. “He offered me literally everything at once: his feelings, his home, having children... Very soon I also fell in love with him...”

Apparently he offered everything but the truth. On the Internet you can find information about Vladimir Anatolyevich Tyurin, born in 1958. Graduated music school named after the Gnessins... Has several criminal records and the nickname “Tyurik”.

The Main Directorate for Combating Organized Crime of the Ministry of Internal Affairs several years ago gave an operational report: “Tyurin is a thief in law and the leader of the Bratskaya organized crime group.”

A few years ago in some media Tyurin was mentioned as common law husband Maria Maksakova. They wrote that he was the father of the singer’s two children: Ilya and Lyudmila. But in 2011, Maria became a State Duma deputy from United Russia, and a denial appeared on the party’s website that she “has never been married and is not married now.” Despite the fact that already in 2012 Maria admitted that she was in a relationship with the son of a Baku musician - a jeweler Jamil Aliyev. It can be assumed that both unions were not officially registered. However, later Maria decided to completely disown acquaintance with Vladimir Tyurin, leaving her fans in the dark about who really is the father of her children.

On March 26, 2015, State Duma deputy from United Russia Maria Maksakova and parliamentarian from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Denis Voronenkov officially registered their relationship.

The singer admitted that having lived to the age of 37, she no longer hoped to ever meet a man with whom she would like to spend her whole life. “He’s probably the best thing that happened to me,” Maksakova said. “For the first time I feel like a fragile woman, I’m happy.”

They bought groceries in the same stores and stayed in the same hotels. And they even took fish from one merchant at the Dorogomilovsky market. But fate wanted to throw them into politics. And mix it there, in a large building on Okhotny Ryad. So that very soon they would part so tragically.

The trials began even before the wedding. In December 2014, the Moscow Department of the RF IC sent materials to the State Duma about depriving Voronenkov of parliamentary immunity. A criminal case was initiated against him for raider takeover buildings in the center of Moscow. In April 2015, a month after the wedding, Maria had nervous soil there was a miscarriage - she lost twins. But a year later the couple had a son Ivan.

That day, an announcement appeared in the State Duma: on the occasion of the birth of the first inter-factional child, the buffet was open for free. Who composed the ditty remains a mystery:

My lips are the color of apricot, and I sing purely.
By day I love United Russia, by night I love communists!

They remembered her to Maria Maksakova for a long time. Then it seemed to the lovers that everything would be fine. He called her “my star”, she called him “Denechka”. They believed in themselves. And in the Lord. They even got married in Jerusalem in November 2016. But this did not save them either.

Maria Maksakova and Denis Voronenkov were deprived of their deputy mandates. They fled to Ukraine. He received citizenship of this country (later Maria will say that her husband is “half Ukrainian”). And on March 23, 2017, less than two years after the wedding, the disgraced

Politics, emigration and an “unreliable” husband played a cruel joke on the third representative of the Maksakov family. For pop-up dual citizenship(Germany and Russia) Maria was expelled from the party. Gnesinka and Mariinsky Theater hastened to fire her.

“Well, thank you, Lord!” Lyudmila Maksakova told reporters about the death of her son-in-law.

An emotional outburst, of course. But you won’t envy her now. Whatever Mary is, whatever she does, she is her daughter.

“Let her publicly retract her words if she wants me to talk to her,” Maria answered. And then she stated that the journalists had quarreled with her mother.

“There is such a place in the Bible: the living will envy the dead...” she cried in an interview and assured that she stayed alive only to raise Vanya.

Then there will be other confessions. That Denis was the best husband in the world. That she thanked him for every day she lived. Appreciated every moment. And then, in March, she was in very, very pain. Although someone tried to see “not enough mourning” in her appearance.

At 39 years old, Maria Maksakova was left a widow with three children. What conclusions will she draw from this story? Will she be able to be happy again?

Meeting the love of your life is probably your greatest luck. And all lovers dream of living together hand in hand, helping each other and overcoming all obstacles together. This is what Maria Maksakova thought, who in 2015 tied the knot with Denis Voronenkov.

On March 27, they would have celebrated a paper wedding, but fate decreed otherwise - on March 23, former State Duma deputy Denis Voronenkov was shot dead in the center of Kyiv. In an instant, the life of opera singer Maria Maksakova turned upside down - she was left alone with her little son in her arms.

Fate brought the future spouses together State Duma Russian Federation. Maria Maksakova was a deputy from political party "United Russia", and Denis Voronenkov represented the "Communist Party of the Russian Federation." Despite the fact that they met at meetings, the future spouses looked at each other for a long time only as colleagues. A little later, Maksakova admitted that friends more than once hinted to the man that she and Maria could become a wonderful couple.

Passion between an opera singer and politician flared up during a trip to Japan. Denis later recalled that it was love at first sight. The couple was very comfortable together. Soon the lovers realized that they were made for each other.

“We were supposed to meet, probably 20 years ago. And indeed, we were always close. We worked in the State Duma and met in Japan, but I think it was love at first sight for us,” Denis said in an interview with the TV channel. TV Center".

The lovers had to sacrifice a lot in order to be together. The fact is that the man was married at that time. But love for Maksakova turned out to be stronger than family ties - in spite of everything, the man divorced in order to be close to the opera singer.

Maria admitted that she did not strive for marriage. She felt quite comfortable without the support of a man’s shoulder - she herself raised two children, Ilya and Lyudmila, whom she gave birth to in civil marriage. However, the meeting with Voronenkov completely changed her views on marriage.

The opera singer appreciated the bold step of the chosen one, who risked changing his life because of his love for her. Maria admitted that after his divorce she considered herself obligated to make him happy. Voronenkov was not embarrassed that he would have to participate in raising his beloved’s children.

Gorgeous wedding the couple played on March 27, 2015. The wedding was attended by numerous celebrities, colleagues and friends of the couple. According to Denis, it was Maksakova who insisted on the magnificent celebration. For her it was special holiday- She believed that she was getting married only once, and therefore wanted everything to go perfectly.

“He’s probably the best thing that ever happened to me. It’s very important to feel behind my husband, safe, protected... For the first time I feel like a fragile woman, I’m happy...” Maria shared her emotions.

After the wedding, Maksakova and Voronenkov seriously thought about children. Maria was 37 years old at that time, but she passionately dreamed of giving birth to a child for her adored husband. At the end of April 2015, the singer admitted that she would soon become a mother. She was expecting twins. However, fate decreed otherwise. Due to the criminal prosecution and accusations of fraud against her husband, the opera diva was very worried. This could not but affect the artist’s health - she suffered a miscarriage.

Nevertheless, Maria and Denis did not give in to despair. A year later, fate gave Maksakova another chance - and in April 2016 she became the mother of a charming baby. The couple were overjoyed and could not be happier with their son. Immediately after birth opera singer decided on a name. The boy was named Vanya.

“I am grateful to God that he gave me the opportunity to become a mother again, and I don’t need anything more,” Maria admitted in an interview.

After the birth of the child, Denis and Maria became even more united. There was real harmony in their relationship. The couple did not hide the fact that they value each other very much and are grateful for the opportunity to meet. Voronenkov admired his wife and more than once told reporters how much he appreciated Maksakova.

“What captivated me about Masha at the beginning of the relationship is that she is a subtle, kind, not vindictive, sincere person. She is the best wife in the world. You constantly feel that a person loves you. She is my internal motivator and an atomic battery,” Denis said in an interview journalists.

Maria, in turn, experienced similar feelings. She was glad that she had met her soul mate - a man who understood and appreciated her perfectly. Next to him she felt absolutely happy. Maria only regretted that she had not met Denis earlier. After a while, Maksakova realized that throughout her life she had been looking for the same qualities in men that she found in Voronenkov.

“This is my first love. Conscious and unconditional, in which I don’t want to change anything,” said Maria.

The opera diva was ready to make any sacrifice for the sake of her beloved husband. Not long ago, a man decided to move to Kyiv. Maksakova unconditionally followed Voronenkov to support her husband. She left two children in Russia, and took little Vanya with her to Ukraine. After this, the couple was hit with a barrage of criticism from the public.

“I left because I have a child who is eleven months old and who really needs me. When I left, I didn’t know what would await me upon arrival... Unfortunately, now I can’t come to Moscow and I can’t see my mother , dad and two beloved children... Leaving was initially Denis’s choice, because he is half Ukrainian. When a husband and wife become, as ordered, one flesh, we should not think about other people and their actions. For our part, we must. behave in a way that pleases the Lord God. This is marriage...” – the artist explained the situation in the “Live Broadcast” program.

“A person is free to choose where to live,” Voronenkov explained. “I left because I simply don’t want to live in lies and hypocrisy anymore. Sometimes you have to make a decision: do you want to change something or are you ready to live quietly as an opportunist?”

In mid-February, it became known that Voronenkov was put on the wanted list on charges of raider takeover.

At the beginning of spring of this year, rumors appeared that the opera singer was pregnant. In her close circle, the performers told reporters: “Maria is very worried about the upcoming birth. She has no plans to contact Russian doctors, although the investigation has no complaints against her. Most likely, she will not give birth in Kyiv, where she is now, but in Germany - after all, she also has German citizenship."

A murder investigation is currently underway, and different versions reasons for the brutal massacre in the center of Kyiv.

A year ago, ex-deputy Denis Voronenkov was shot dead in the center of Kyiv. The scandalous emigration of the Voronenkov family and Maria Maksakova created a real sensation. In Moscow, influential politicians and ordinary citizens were outraged by the unprincipled betrayal, and in Kyiv the couple was in great demand until the shocking murder. For a month and a half, Maria Maksakova mourned her murdered husband, and then began to look for a place in the sun and even acquired influential patrons. What's going on in her life now? And is it true that she has a new lover?

Maria Maksakova got in touch with the “Live Broadcast” program. She said that she was pleased with the progress of the investigation into her husband's murder. Maria is sure that her previous husband, Vladimir Tyurin, is involved in this case. “The fact that he was involved has obviously been proven by the investigation. The arguments are very convincing. Of course, the death of Denis is the most monstrous thing that ever happened. But the fact that the father of my first children had a hand in this, a man who owes me his freedom, - I didn’t expect such a stab in the back. For me personally, this version is the most tragic, the hardest, the most bitter,” admitted Maksakova. She added that Tyurin could soon be on the international wanted list.

Yanina Sokolovskaya, a journalist from Ukraine, came to the program studio. This is how the woman commented on Maksakova’s life after the death of her husband: “In this situation, Ukraine managed to prove that it was not a foreign land to Mary. Because after her tragedy, the most people began to sympathize with her.” tall people Ukraine, including the president’s family and his wife. As a result, Mrs. Maksakova got from us what she probably couldn’t get in Russia. For example, in Russia she could not become an assistant professor at Gnesinka. With us, she immediately became a government official, a teacher at the National Academy of Singing, an associate professor, and now she will be given professorships. She was allowed to perform the main oratorio at a concert in honor of Ukraine's Independence Day. She lives at public expense because she is a refugee from your regime."

Maksakova herself responded to this that she is not personally acquainted with the family of President Poroshenko, but she is glad for such sympathy on their part. The state provided her with protection, but she earns her own money and pays taxes.

Regarding rumors about the singer’s new lover, Yanina Sokolovskaya said that in Ukraine they believe that Maksakova is very sympathetic to Armen Kaloyan, the main director opera house. Maria herself noticed that she considered him talented person, but did not notice any interest on his part in her as a woman, except perhaps as a singer or artist.

What is the main evidence of the investigation in the Voronenkov murder case? What is the relationship between Maria Maksakova and her mother, with Ekaterina, the daughter of her murdered husband, and with Mikheil Saakashvili? Does the singer plan to return to Russia? Answers are in the program
