Man and women

75-year-old Mikhail Kozakov was kicked out of his apartment by his sixth wife

Outstanding Russian actor and director Mikhail Kozakov decided to stay in Israel forever. The 75-year-old artist was forced to take such a decisive step by his sixth wife, 30-year-old Nadezhda Sedova, whom Kozakov married in 2006.

For the past few years, the couple have been constantly quarreling. At the beginning of this summer, after another family scandal, Mikhail Mikhailovich was hospitalized in one of the neurological clinics in Moscow. It was from there that Kozakov called his fourth wife, theater producer Anna Yampolskaya, in Israel.

« Mikhail Mikhailovich was very in serious condition , says Anna. - He said that he was guilty, that they don’t beat people who are down, that if I don’t help, he will commit suicide.».

Anna immediately took ex-husband to Tel Aviv, where she rented a one-room apartment for him near the sea. Israeli doctors diagnosed Kozakov with a pre-infarction condition. During the operation, the actor experienced clinical death.

« Mikhail Mikhailovich has already been discharged from the hospital, - Yampolskaya continues, - I visit him every day and bring him lunch. Now his health comes first. We need to restore our health insurance and get serious about treatment. Was it difficult to accept your ex-husband? I didn't think about it. I have our children and my parents in my arms. Misha was just in such a serious condition. His wife... everyone understood that for her it was a marriage of convenience. She came from Nizhny Novgorod and probably thought: “I’ll marry famous person, which means rich, secular.” And I didn’t expect that I would find myself in a completely different world - the world of a person focused only on himself, on his work, who does not recognize any parties. This is where the conflicts began».

« My young wife wants to take my apartment away from me!- Kozakov said on the eve of his departure to Israel. - I am forced to flee to Israel. I hope we get divorced soon. Nadya turned out to be a swindler! She wanted to drive me into a coffin and get an apartment. Yes, I'm a fool for marrying a young girl! Well, who doesn’t make mistakes?! Unfortunately, old people are not protected from this. I'm sure this is my last marriage».

Kozakov’s lawyers have already begun divorce proceedings. According to rumors, Nadezhda was offered 100 thousand dollars as compensation. The girl took the money, but never vacated Mikhail Mikhailovich’s one-room Moscow apartment. " Sedova changed her mind about getting a divorce, - say the actor’s representatives, - s declares that she still loves her husband and wants to live with him. Kozakov found himself in a completely terrible situation. His health is poor, and he has to rent an apartment in Israel and give concerts there, because he has nothing to live on!».

In turn, the culprit of the scandal, Nadezhda Sedova, exclusive interview Russian newspaper“Interlocutor” blamed Yampolskaya for all the troubles.

What they write about me is a vile lie! - Sedova is indignant. - Mikhail Mikhailovich’s depression began last year. The reason was a tiring tour of America, organized by Anna Yampolskaya. 18 concerts in 23 days! Who could stand this? As a result of numerous flights and transfers, Mikhail Mikhailovich’s circadian rhythm was lost. When he returned to Moscow, he could not sleep at all. After these ill-fated tours, he began to decline sharply.

I knew about everything that ever happened to Mikhail Mikhailovich. I also knew about his problems in relationships with ex-wife Anna, about the destructive influence she had on him. He endured everything for the sake of the children! ( Mikhail Kozakov and Anna Yampolskaya have a 21-year-old son, Mikhail, and a 15-year-old daughter, Zoya.- Note ed.). But still he had the strength to break free from her influence and start a new family life. He's not a Don Juan at all. He simply cannot live alone.

- Why do you think that Anna wants to destroy your marriage?

Yampolskaya was always terribly afraid that his last roof over his head - a one-room apartment in Moscow - would go not to her children, but to someone else. Not only is the apartment bequeathed to her daughter Zoya, she wants to get the money as soon as possible. I remember how Mikhail Mikhailovich told me that he was disgusted by Anya’s lies, greed and cunning! I don't want this woman to ruin his life and my life!

Mom Zoya Aleksandrovna Gatskevich worked as an editor at one of the St. Petersburg publishing houses.

Mikhail Kozakov's ancestors were Jews. In an effort to assimilate, they changed their surname to “Kozakova”. But in Mikhail Mikhailovich’s veins flowed not only Jewish, but also Serbian-Greek blood, inherited from his mother. The families of the future artist were touched Stalin's repressions. Mikhail Kozakov’s mother and grandmother (Odessa resident Zoya Paraskeva-Borisova) were arrested twice. The first time before the war, the second after. Fortunately, both survived.

The only topic they tried to avoid was politics.

After his divorce from Greta Taar, the artist had an unsuccessful marriage with restoration artist Medea Berelashvili.

Famous actor Mikhail Kazakov died at the age of 76 in an Israeli clinic on April 22. Since then, the relatives and wives of Mikhail Mikhailovich cannot calm down because of the inheritance that was left after the actor’s death. Let us remind you that Kozakov died in Israel, where he went to visit his youngest children and fourth wife Anna Yampolskaya about a year ago. Mikhail Mikhailovich was no longer able to return to Russia on his own.

Mikhail Kozakov’s last wife, Nadezhda Sedova, says that she loved her husband very much and did not want a divorce until the very end, writes KP.RU. But Kozakov insisted that he must recent years spend his life with his children, after which he simply left and disappeared - neither his relatives nor his friends could reach him. In winter, Mikhail and Nadezhda were officially divorced, and the lawyer demanded that the woman vacate the actor’s one-room apartment. But Sedova kept hoping that he would come to his senses and return, but Anna Yampolskaya convinced Kozakov to stay in Tel Aviv. But on the eve of the artist’s death, Sedova felt that there was no point in waiting for his return, and called his son Kirill. The next day, the woman learned that her ex-husband had already died.

Nadezhda Sedova also said that Mikhail Kozakov made his will as many as five times. After his divorce from Yampolskaya, the actor bequeathed the apartment and his archives youngest daughter Zoya, who, he believed, was most like his late mother of all the children. After this, the actor made a will for the second time when he fell in love with Victoria Kolesnikova, deciding to leave everything to her. But after the breakup, Kozakov again rewrote everything to Zoya. For the fourth time, he made a new will, having married Sedova, and decided to leave her an apartment. But the last, fifth will says: all of Mikhail Kozakov’s property - diaries, scripts, memoirs, apartment and savings in his bank book - will be inherited by his beloved daughter Zoya. The girl was 15 years old at that time.

No one can say for sure the amount of savings remaining in the bank account; this will become known when the heiress assumes her rights of inheritance. It was important for Mikhail Kozakov’s son Kirill (who, by the way, is very similar to himself) to obtain copyrights to the artist’s creative heritage - he wanted to complete his father’s projects, stage a performance based on his texts, because father and son worked a lot together. But, Sedova suggests, it is unlikely that Kirill will be able to come to an agreement with Yampolskaya - Kozakov’s son is too decent...

Anna Yampolskaya, who had already visited Mikhail Kozakov’s apartment in Moscow, stated that some things were missing from there, hinting that they were taken by Nadezhda Sedova, who lived in the apartment. To this last wife The artist said that she took with her only personal items that were purchased before her wedding with Kozakov or during her marriage with him.

Lawyers regarding Kozakov’s inheritance express their opinion: since the actor left a will, then his relatives should only come to terms with and fulfill the will of the deceased Mikhail Mikhailovich. None of the wives can claim the inheritance, since he divorced all five.

Anna Yampolskaya took the actor to Israel and forced him to file for divorce from current wife Nadezhda Sedova

Turbulent events unfolded in the personal life of 75-year-old Mikhail KOZAKOV. Unexpectedly for everyone famous actor returned to Israel ex-wife— 51-year-old Anna YAMPOLSKAYA, with whom he broke up in 2003. Current wife- He publicly declared 29-year-old Nadezhda SEDOVA a swindler who allegedly wants to drive him into a coffin and take possession of his living space. The artist went to court to divorce her.
Our correspondent found out how Kozakov’s young wife bothered the master so much that he radically changed his life.

Problems in our family began unexpectedly and in a very stupid way,” she sighed sadly. Nadezhda Sedova. — Mikhail Mikhailovich has two beloved children from his penultimate, fourth official marriage: 21-year-old Misha and 15-year-old Zoya. They live in Israel with their mother Anna Yampolskaya. In December 2009 Kozakov went to visit them and, returning, said: “Anya took me to the doctors. I am completely disabled. I can't work anymore. And the children need money for education: Zoya - $25 thousand a year for school and Misha - $40 thousand a year for university. I have to sell the apartment to pay for their education.” Since then, the idea of ​​settling in a nursing home from the Union of Cinematographers stuck in his mind. He calculated that he would sell the apartment for a maximum of $350 thousand, give 270 “pieces” to the children, and the rest would last him for another seven years. Yampolskaya inspired these thoughts in him. Mikhail Mikhailovich adores their common children, and simply idolizes Zoya. He often repeated that he had never loved anyone but her. Yampolskaya took advantage of this and blackmailed: if you don’t give money, you won’t see the children. Kozakov was afraid that the “ex” would tell his beloved Zoya: “Your dad abandoned you. He has new family, and he doesn’t need you.” Therefore, he did everything that Anya told him.

When divorcing Yampolskaya in 2005, Mikhail Mikhailovich gave her everything: a 3-room and 1-room apartment on Bolshaya Ordynka, an office of 400 sq. m. m at Krasnye Vorota, a 3-room apartment in Krasnaya Pakhra, a Nissan car and all the money earned over 10 years in the enterprise. Anya sold the property, although she later claimed that the office had been taken away from her. Mutual friends said that she got away with it profitably too. The most interesting thing is that Kozakov bought the three-ruble ruble on Ordynka in his marriage to his third wife, Regina Solomonovna, and it was she who owned a large share. The woman lives in New York. Having learned about the sale of the living space, she asked for part of the money, but in vain. “I was your only wife who not only received nothing in the divorce, but also from whom everything was taken away, including personal belongings, as if I had not stayed to live in America, but had died,” Regina wrote to Kozakova. “Anina’s extreme greed and endless lies do not allow her to be fair to me.”
Since 2004, Yampolskaya has settled in Israel. I bought an apartment in the Jaffa district of Tel Aviv: by analogy with Moscow, this is an area “with a view of the Kremlin.” From time to time, Anya arranged for Mikhail Mikhailovich to tour abroad - bypassing the producers of programs and performances with whom he worked. She took almost all of Kozakov’s earnings for the education of her children. That didn’t stop her from telling everyone that she wasn’t getting a penny from her “ex.”

Controversial apartment

“Mikhail Mikhailovich still has a 1-room apartment on Samotek,” Sedova continued her story. - At Anya’s request, he bequeathed it to Zoya: Yampolskaya was afraid that his children from previous marriages - Ekaterina, Kirill, Manana - would claim the living space. Soon Kozakov had another woman - he couldn’t even pour tea on his own. He was fully serviced by his wives. The same Regina Solomonovna gave up a prestigious job in the Department for Services to the Diplomatic Corps for this reason. In general, he chose a 37-year-old Ukrainian citizen Victoria Kolesnikova. As friends say, she looked into his mouth and did everything to make him feel good. In response to her concern, Mikhail Mikhailovich re-registered the will for the apartment in her name. Anya was alarmed: “Your Frosya is hacking,” “Your Frosya will rob you,” she reproached her ex-wife. On New Year he went to Israel to visit his children. And when he returned, he accused Vika of theft - she was going home to Ukraine and allegedly grabbed four thousand dollars. I don't think she took anything. More likely, Anya said something to her. Plus Yampolskaya intimidated Kozakov that Vika would kill him for the sake of the apartment. He again rewrote the will to Zoya, but still shook for a long time that Kolesnikova, having in his hands old paper, will order it.
Soon Mikhail Mikhailovich once again appeared on my horizon and offered to become his wife. We met in 2000, when I was studying history at the university in Nizhny Novgorod. He repeatedly came to me with statements: “I love you, but I can’t.” He called and invited me to visit. It was impossible not to buy it: he has incredible masculine charisma. But every time it all ended with him, having “loved” me for two weeks, disappearing. I admit that at some point he was infatuated with me. Why I decided to get married, I have no idea. In 2006, we officially got married. Since then I have not worked and have been with him as personal secretary, housekeepers, nurses and mistresses. In August 2007, Mikhail Mikhailovich once again re-registered the will for the apartment in my name. “When I die, you will be a rich widow,” he said.

Clinical death

— Having traveled to Israel in December 2009, Kozakov decided to sell the apartment. So that I would not be offended, he gave me 60 thousand euros, but demanded a written commitment to get a divorce and leave the living space. I signed the paper and on December 30, 2009, submitted an application for divorce to the Meshchansky registry office. On February 2, 2010, a meeting was supposed to take place, but the husband suddenly changed his mind about getting a divorce. All this time I lived with him in the same apartment. Believe me, if he needed it, he would kick me to the registry office. But he reasoned like this: “Why rush? Maybe the apartment won't sell for a long time. And someone has to look after me.” And until May 2010 we continued to live together. I even accompanied him on tours: in winter - to Kyiv and Sevastopol, and in March - to St. Petersburg. In May, Kozakov went on a tour to America organized by Yampolskaya. Two weeks earlier, he suffered clinical death during an operation at the Helmholtz Moscow Institute of Eye Diseases. The doctors did not allow him to go, I also dissuaded him. But Anya screamed that she needed money for the children and the tour could not be cancelled. As participants in Kozakov’s performances say, for six performances he did not receive a penny. Allegedly, Anya spent money on organizing the trip and did not return the money invested. Although it was sold out, and, according to American entrepreneurs, she received about $300 thousand. From America, Mikhail Mikhailovich, together with Yampolskaya, went to Israel to visit the children and receive treatment. He didn't plan to stay there. He took one sports bag with him, even his Russian passport remained here. “Nadya, if I do, God forbid! “I’ll die there, bury me next to dad at the Vvedensky cemetery,” he told me before leaving. “You know where the grave certificate is.”
He did not return to Russia. It turned out that Anya had excluded him from the Israeli family health insurance. It cost $8 thousand to restore it, which Kozakov borrowed from Yampolskaya. He did not have his own funds: before leaving for America, he gave everything he had to Zoya’s studies. When the insurance was paid for, it turned out that Mikhail Mikhailovich would lose it if he left Israel within a year. Under this pretext, Anya persuaded him to stay. But he didn’t live with her: she rented him a separate apartment, naturally, also on credit.

Kozakov lives on debt

— Kozakov called me from Israel, said hello and immediately handed the phone to Anya. She began to press me to urgently vacate the apartment. Later, a letter came from her email on behalf of Mikhail Mikhailovich demanding not only to be discharged within a week, but also to file a divorce. I'm sure my husband didn't write anything: he doesn't know how to use by email. Most likely, Anya is behind this, who didn’t even ask herself the question: how can I divorce a person who is in another country? Soon realtors with buyers appeared and began to rush me to leave. I started packing my things, but I couldn’t check out quickly - I had to register somewhere! My mother and sister live in a 2-room apartment in a Khrushchev building. But it was during that period that my sister got married, changed her documents, and went to doctors because she was pregnant. The process took a long time, and without her participation it was impossible to register me.
On September 10, I received a subpoena and a copy statement of claim about the divorce, in which Mikhail Mikhailovich complained about what a bad wife I was. I was blamed for the fact that in 2009 he was hospitalized with nervous exhaustion, and at that time I was having fun at a resort in Spain. In fact, it was Yampolskaya who brought him to the hospital, who in May 2009 took the 74-year-old actor with a solo program across America and Canada. In 23 days he performed in 18 cities. Upon his return, his circadian rhythm was disrupted: he could not sleep at all. Within a month I reached a state of asthenia and was forced to go to the Neurosis Clinic on Rublyovka. And we planned to go to Spain with my husband and his girlfriend Lyudmila Khmelnitskaya. We even bought non-refundable tickets and paid for a timeshare. Lyudmila Matveevna did not want to go alone, and Mikhail Mikhailovich asked me not to cancel the trip, but to accompany her.
I came to court without a lawyer, with a friend. To my surprise, it turned out that Kozakov’s interests are represented by himself Genrikh Pavlovich Padva. He tried long and hard to convey to the court that wives who go to a resort in Spain cannot be trusted. I attracted a bunch of witnesses who denigrated me in every possible way. For example, the owner of an enterprise “on blue eye“She told me that I didn’t feed Mikhail Mikhailovich and on tour he immediately demanded food.
Despite all Padva’s efforts, the court acted according to the law and gave us a month for reconciliation. I would like to go to Israel now to personally meet my husband and try to explain the absurdity of the current situation. After all, during all this time he never really spoke to me. How do I know if this is his will? I can’t call him myself: he doesn’t have mobile phone. And Yampolskaya does not allow anyone to communicate with him. True, after the trial, Mikhail Mikhailovich suddenly called me in the middle of the night. It was felt that he was in panic. “Nadya, I need money,” he said. - I live on credit. You need to pay for a lawyer." Then he accused me of not paying rent and public utilities, and if I pay, it’s at the expense of his pension. That I'm going to use the script Mark Rozovsky And Galina Polidi“The Murder of Mikhoels,” which he was going to film. “I don’t have access to your pension,” I tried to explain. “And I can’t use the script, since it was purchased by the AMEDIA company.” But Kozakov did not listen. It looks like Anya thoroughly screwed him over. Personally, I feel very sorry for him. I think he needs to run away from Yampolskaya before it’s too late. She will squeeze him dry and throw him away. But he will no longer have an apartment, and there will be nowhere to return.
