When this world leaves dear person, his loved ones find themselves in a void, and they need to learn to live with this emptiness.
Marina Zudina, widow Oleg Pavlovich, on March 12, I began a new countdown of life for myself, in which my beloved and loving spouse is no longer nearby. How does the family cope with this difficult task?
Talent and fan
Marina fell in love with the wonderful Master in her youth. Having become a student at GITIS, she decided: now or never! After all, she found herself in the same environment with her idol and, observing his skill up close, she could no longer hide her feelings. And the master could not remain indifferent to the sincere and ardent love of the young artist. The age difference of 30 years did not bother them.
At first, the couple hid their close relationship, meeting in fits and starts. But people see everything and know everything, and after a while the secret ceased to be a secret. However, another 10 years Tabakov I didn’t leave my first family - I didn’t want to leave my children. I decided to take this step only after I realized: the children are already old enough, they can handle it.
Happiness for two
In 1995, Tabakov and Zudina formalized their relationship. And Marina instantly came under a barrage of criticism: she was called a predator and a homewrecker, accused of breaking up her family and having selfish considerations regarding Oleg Pavlovich. For some reason, many did not believe in the sincerity of her love. Meanwhile, the couple were frankly happy.
They lived together for 23 years. Marina and Oleg Pavlovich had a son and daughter - Paul And Maria. And all these years, as Marina admits, she was happy: she felt under the protection of her husband, she felt like the only one and loved.
Bitter farewell
March 15, 2018 on the stage of the Moscow Art Theater. Chekhov said goodbye to the Artist. Relatives and friends came, as well as colleagues, students, and politicians. President of Russia Vladimir Putin personally expressed his condolences to Tabakov’s widow.
Many who came to say goodbye to Oleg Tabakov could not hold back their tears. After everyone else, Marina Zudina approached the coffin. She expressed words of gratitude and love to her husband and said that all the years with him had been joyful and easy for her.
Marina thanked her friends who greatly supported her and the children during these dark days. She repeated that she would always love only Oleg Pavlovich... She promised that now she would check every action “according to Tabakov”: how he would act in this or that case, and she would teach their children the same.
As is customary in the acting community, Oleg Tabakov was held in last path loud applause.

Marina Zudina spent forty days after Tabakov’s death in mourning, not appearing anywhere. However, life goes on. After the traditional deadline, his colleagues and friends gathered in the Tabakerka to once again remember the great artist. The widow thanked me from the bottom of her heart Vladimir Mashkov, who took over the management of the theater. She emphasized that it is “a very masculine act to take on such responsibility.”
Marina also addressed her words of gratitude to Sergei Zhenovach, who became the artistic director of the Moscow Art Theater. Chekhov. The actress emphasized: her sympathy for Zhenovach will not change regardless of how her creative destiny develops in the future.

Life goes on
Of course, it was very difficult for Marina Zudina to get used to life without her Teacher - that’s what she called her husband. And in these days and months, it is primarily her children who provide her with enormous support.
11-year-old Masha, for example, said: “Mom, we are strong, we will cope with everything, we will live, and dad will help us.” This childish wisdom from her daughter allows Zudina to hope that their family will actually cope with the loss over time.
In April, Marina Zudina was already on stage again: she played in the play “The Sun Rises”, dedicated to the anniversary Maxim Gorky. The project, begun by Tabakov, was completed by his colleagues after the Master’s death.
It was hard for Marina... In the morning she visited her husband’s grave to communicate with him without strangers and get ready for the role. Entering the theater building and seeing Tabakov’s portrait in the lobby, Marina burst into tears. However, then she pulled herself together and went on stage. She had a role Olga Knipper-Chekhova. When Marina spoke words about death from the stage Chekhov, her voice trembled and broke, and many in the hall cried...
After the premiere, the entire stage was littered with flowers, and Marina said: she was glad that the performance took place, that the work that Oleg Pavlovich began had been completed.
Who got the inheritance?
According to media materials, Oleg Tabakov bequeathed all his property to his wife Marina Zudina. This decision looks logical and fair: Marina has minor Masha and 22-year-old Pavel in her arms, while Tabakov’s two older children are son Anton and daughter Alexandra– have long been adults and accomplished people who do not need financial support.
More specifically, Oleg Pavlovich’s inheritance includes two Moscow apartments, country house And land plot, two cars with garages, and in addition, according to friends, Tabakov had savings of approximately 100-110 million rubles in various banks (according to other sources - 600 million).
How the eldest children, Anton and Alexandra, are coping with the death of their father
Anton Tabakov answers all questions from journalists about his father’s inheritance: I lost loved one, my dad died, and I miss him, not his money.
Let us remind you that Anton Tabakov is already 57 years old and is considered a very wealthy person. Not long ago he sold a successful restaurant business and moved with his family to Paris.
Viewers remember Tabakov’s eldest daughter Alexandra for her role as a friend main character in the film "Little Vera". Alexandra worked at Tabakerka under the guidance of her father. The divorce of her parents and her father’s departure to Marina Zudina was a huge blow for Alexandra: the 29-year-old young woman perceived this as a betrayal.
If Anton was eventually able to forgive his father and maintained a relationship with him, then Alexandra was never able to forget the insult inflicted on her and her mother.
She defiantly left the theater, and at one time she even thought about leaving this life, the pain was so unbearable. Unfortunately, she never communicated with her father again - she was never able to forgive him.
For Oleg Tabakov, discord with eldest daughter always remained pain point, and he refused to talk about this topic with reporters. Alexandra did not come to her father’s funeral.
Pavel Tabakov in the film “Happiness is”, 2015 The son of Oleg Tabakov and Marina Zudina, Pavel, is 22 years old. He graduated from the Moscow Theater College named after Tabakov and successfully tries himself in various roles in theater and cinema.
Daughter Masha is 12 years old. The girl dreams of becoming an actress, and she really misses her most devoted fan - her dad.
At first he said that this was a routine dental examination. Later it became known that Tabakov was diagnosed with sepsis, an operation was performed, and the doctors assessed the condition of the 82-year-old actor as serious. In December, he was even put into an artificial coma - this was done to relieve the load on his organs, weakened by the fight against the disease; the theater, however, denied this message. Later Tabakov regained consciousness.
Subsequently, news about the artist’s condition was different - but he still remained in the hospital. The channel reported about Tabakov’s death; the same information was confirmed by the theater’s press service.
Viewers always imagine their favorite artists by their most recognizable roles. For Oleg Tabakov there were several such roles. Someone - most often children - know his voice and the image of the artist is mixed with the image of the drawn cat Matroskin from the famous animated series, some adults remember him from the epic “Seventeen Moments of Spring” by Lioznova, in which he played Schellenberg, others imagine Tabakov as a “blue thief” "Alhena from The Twelve Chairs. And for some, he is just a voice that read the fairy tale record “The Little Humpbacked Horse” or the noble Ali Baba from an audio fairy tale recorded with Tatyana’s poems and the joint efforts of the Moscow Art Theater and Taganka artists.
Oleg Tabakov first appeared on stage in his native Saratov, where he played theater club local Palace of Pioneers and Schoolchildren; he came to Moscow after school to enroll in a theater university, managed to pass the entrance exams to two at once - the Moscow Art Theater School and GITIS - and ultimately chose the Moscow Art Theater School.
And already in his third year he was cast in the film “Tight Knot” (1956, released as “Sasha Enters Life”).
“The first film turned out to be very lucky for me,” Tabakov recalled in the book “My real life" — Mikhail Schweitzer, being, in my opinion, one of the most significant directors of Soviet cinema, was a traditionalist in the sense of thoroughness, seriousness and fundamentality of preparation for filming. He managed to go through with me the entire line of Nikolai Rostov in the novel “War and Peace” in order for me to feel the scale of the artistic tasks that stood before me in mastering the role of Sasha Komelev, a boy from a collective farm village.”
Tabakov generally acted a lot and willingly.
Starting straight away with the leading role, he agreed to work in those films where his character only appeared in an episode. “The Motley Case”, “Probationary Period” (film adaptation of Pyotr Nilov’s story about the criminal investigation of the 1920s), “Clear Sky”. But it’s surprising that even Tabakov’s short stay on the screen could be remembered by the audience for a long time.
There were also big projects in his early film biography - like Nikolai Rostov in a large-scale film adaptation of the novel “War and Peace” or a Nazi intelligence officer in “Seventeen Moments...” (for which Andropov reprimanded him after the premiere - “Oleg, it’s immoral to play like that”) . Or the absolutely wonderful King Louis XIII in the film “D'Artagnan and the Three Musketeers”, Alchen in “The Twelve Chairs” by Mark Zakharov. Or Miss Euphemia Andrew in “Mary Poppins, Goodbye!” - one of the few female roles in Soviet cinema performed by a male actor.
In total, Oleg Tabakov’s filmography includes more than one and a half hundred played and voiced roles in films, television and cartoons.
Soviet animation, in principle, tried to take real images of voice actors - and it’s not just that Winnie the Pooh looks like, Piglet looks like, and Carlson, who lives on the roof, looks like. For Tabakov, this cartoon alter ego was Matroskin the Cat from the series about the inhabitants of the village of Prostokvashino. Well, what was said in a suggestive voice, “You’re wrong, Uncle Fyodor, you’re eating a sandwich...” has long and firmly gone down among the people, like other phrases - like “Whiskers, paws and tail - these are my documents!”
But cinema still remained for Tabakov no more than a hobby. He truly found himself in the theater - to work in which he studied at the Studio School.
He turned out to be an outstanding theater builder, and from a young age: in 1957 he became the youngest of the six founders of the Sovremennik Theater, where he came from the Studio of Young Actors, created by Oleg Efremov at the Moscow Art Theater School. The very appearance of this theater was a serious challenge in the then cultural and political environment. On its stage, Tabakov made his debut as a theater actor - in the role of student Misha in the famous play “Forever Alive” based on the play. In 1970, he left to head the Moscow Art Theater - and Tabakov was not afraid to become the director of Sovremennik, supporting him as artistic director. Veterans of the theater remember his tenure in this post only kindly - however, thirteen years later he still left Sovremennik and moved to the Moscow Art Theater troupe as an artist.
In 1987, during the division of the Moscow Art Theater, Tabakov again supported Efremov, from whom he took over the leadership of the main theater in 2000. dramatic scene countries.
But before that there was also “Tabakerka” - a studio theater, which over the years of its life has become an indispensable and necessary element of Moscow theatrical life. Having left his directorial post at Sovremennik, in 1977 Tabakov took over a former coal warehouse on Chaplygina Street. Together with the Gitis acting course, of which he was a master, he cleaned and renovated the abandoned premises. The first premiere was the play “In the spring I will return to you” based on the play by a representative of the “young and angry” generation. The site was not given official status for a long time, but graduates of Tabakov’s course continued to gather in the “Tabakerka” at night; in fact, the site operated for a long time as an amateur studio in which real professionals played.
“Tabakerka” received official status in 1986 - it announced creation of three Moscow theater studios, one of which was the Oleg Tabakov Theater.
However, the last - and most significant - construction site for Tabakov was the Moscow Art Theater. The mere fact that having headed the theater in 2000, he returned it to its former name - given under Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko - speaks volumes. Oleg Tabakov, in a matter of years, rebuilt the work of the decaying theatrical giant to a completely new way. In fact, Tabakov turned the Efremov Moscow Art Theater into a kind of theatrical supermarket. On the same evening one could watch here, for example, the hit comedy “Number 13” by Ray Cooney, “Playing the Victim” by the Presnyakov brothers, or experimental productions based on the plays of yesterday’s winners of the Lyubimovka competition.
He was in constant search...
came to see new artists at the small independent theater venues emerging in Moscow, and then lured them into the Moscow Art Theater troupe. I read new drama voraciously. He was openly interested in young directors - in the 2000s, he actually gave carte blanche to Kirill Serebrennikov to work. In the 2010s - Konstantin Bogolomov. Already aware of the master’s illness, Bogomolov staged the offering play “The Jeweler’s Anniversary” last season.
Actor and director, People's Artist of the USSR Oleg Pavlovich Tabakov died today. He was 82 years old. Tabakov spent the last few months - from November 27, 2017 - in the First City Hospital. And today, according to the telegram channel Mash, the artist suffered a heart attack.
There were different versions in the media about why Oleg Tabakov ended up in the hospital.
It is located in First Gradskaya. Indeed, after examination he was diagnosed with pneumonia, - spoke son of actor Anton.
In November, the media voiced another version: it was all due to sepsis (blood poisoning), the cause of which was not established at that time.
In December appeared clarification: sepsis was caused by dental implants, which the actor was installed in an elite private clinic. At the same time, those doctors did not pay due attention to the complications that arose.
Later, the media combined these versions: at first there were problems with the tooth - the implant did not take root, sepsis began. During treatment, when Oleg Tabakov took tests and underwent examinations, doctors discovered pneumonia. She was asymptomatic: that is, without fever and without cough. This happens when immunity is at zero. Due to immunity problems caused by age and overwork (Oleg Tabakov played 6-7 performances a month, directed two theaters), it was difficult to treat.
At the hospital, doctors had to put Oleg Tabakov into an artificial coma to relieve the stress on him. internal organs. It was also reported that the artist had a tracheostomy installed - this is an opening in the throat where a special breathing tube is located. This method is used in intensive care to provide the patient with respiratory function.
In December, the actor began to recover.
I can say that today Oleg Pavlovich’s condition is stable, - spoke in December, Moscow Deputy Mayor Leonid Pechatnikov. - All indicators, including blood indicators, are improving. He had an appetite. He gradually began to get up.
Oleg Pavlovich Tabakov was born in Saratov into a family of doctors. First years of life future actor spent in communal apartment. Oleg Tabakov's childhood memories are very bright. He was surrounded by many loving people: mother, father, two grandmothers, uncle and aunt, half-brother and sister.
However, this happy, serene life ended in June 1941. In the first days of the war, my father volunteered for the front. At the end of 1942, Oleg Tabakov’s mother fell ill with typhoid fever and even after recovery she could not get back on her feet for a long time.
In the spring of 1943, Maria Andreevna, taking her children with her, went to the town of Elton, located in the north of the Caspian Sea. Here, having joined the active army, she worked in the hospital as a general practitioner for two years. In Elton, Oleg went to school. But then the family returned to Saratov, where Tabakov continued his studies in men's high school.
As an eighth-grader, Oleg Tabakov ended up in the famous children's theater "Young Guard" throughout Saratov under the direction of Natalya Iosifovna Sukhostav, whom he calls his godmother in acting profession. Classes in children's theater played decisive role in choosing a future profession.
Enroll in theater institute Oleg Tabakov decided to go to the capital. He submitted applications to the Moscow Art Theater School. Nemirovich-Danchenko and GITIS. He was accepted into both institutes at once, but Tabakov gave preference to the Moscow Art Theater, which he considered “the pinnacle of theater pedagogy.”
The head of the course in which Oleg Tabakov studied was one of the largest theater teachers of his time, People's Artist of the USSR, head of the department acting skills School-studio Vasily Toporkov. At the same time as Tabakov, future stage masters and others studied at the Moscow Art Theater School.
Theater
After the Studio School, the young actor was assigned to the Moscow drama theater named after Stanislavsky. But fate brought Tabakov to a new theater that was created, which later received the name “Sovremennik”.
After Efremov left for the Moscow Art Theater, Sovremennik was headed by Oleg Tabakov for almost seven years. In December 1986, an order was issued to create in Moscow three new theaters Among them was the Studio Theater under the direction of Oleg Tabakov. So it came true cherished dream about his own theater, which was soon dubbed “Tabakerka”.
The legendary "Snuffbox" The beginning of the journey of “Tabakerka” was not cloudless. Some critics did not take the emergence of a new studio seriously. But in auditorium The theater on Chaplygina Street was always sold out. The first work of the Studio Theater under the direction of Oleg Tabakov was the play “The Armchair”, staged by Tabakov based on the story by Yuri Polyakov on March 1, 1987.
During the reign of the Tabakov Theater, a radical renewal of the repertoire and cast took place here. Accepted into the troupe a whole series young and talented actors:, and others. The repertoire has also been updated. Oleg Tabakov attracted people to the theater for new works famous directors and writers who brought fresh ideas and new impetus to creative development.
The theatrical biography of Oleg Tabakov is very rich and varied. Tabakov worked a lot abroad as a teacher and stage director. The Russian master staged more than four dozen performances of Soviet, Russian and foreign classics in theaters in the Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Denmark, USA and Austria. And on the basis of Harvard University, the actor opened Summer school name, which he himself headed. From 1986 to 2000, he was the rector of the Moscow Art Theater School and director of the joint graduate program of the Studio School and Carnegie Mellon University (USA).
Since 2000, Oleg Tabakov has been the head of the Moscow Art Theater named after Chekhov.
In addition to cinema and theater work, Oleg Tabakov also appeared on television. It was Tabakov who became one of the first actors to participate in television performances that were broadcast in live. He has two solo performances to his credit - “The Little Humpbacked Horse” and “Vasily Terkin”.
The most famous television productions with Tabakov’s participation were “Aesop”, “ Shagreen leather", "Stovemakers". The actor and director also had a hand in creating a television version of the play “Contemporary” called “Twelfth Night.”
Movies
Already in my third year at the Moscow Art Theater theatrical biography Oleg Tabakov begins to intertwine with cinema. His debut was the role of Sasha Komelev in the film “Sasha Enters Life” by Mikhail Schweitzer. She helped the actor get acquainted with the “cuisine” of cinema.
Tabakov’s first heroes were called “Rozov’s boys.” A schoolboy named Oleg Savin, played by Tabakov in the film “Noisy Day” based on the play “In Search of Joy” by Viktor Rozov, is the embodiment of best features in the people of Khrushchev's time. Directness of judgment, purity of thoughts, the ability to defend one’s position - all this applies to Oleg Savin, and to Viktor Bulygin from the film “People on the Bridge”, and to Sasha Egorov from “ Probation period”, and to Seryozha from “Clear Sky”. This also includes Nikolai Rostov from War and Peace, and Kolya Babushkin from the film Young and Green. These paintings are definitely best roles actor at the beginning of his film career.
Oleg Tabakov's screen roles began to appear during a period when society was undergoing a reassessment of its value system. In their youth, Tabakov’s heroes were united by civic pathos and straightforwardness of judgment. This can be seen, for example, in “Noisy Day” or “Probationary Period”.
Tabakov has participated in more than 120 films. He didn't play in all of them main role, but all his roles are noticeable and charismatic. On the set, fate brought Tabakov together with a large number of recognized and even great actors. Leonid Bronevoy also starred in the legendary series about Stirlitz “Seventeen Moments of Spring” with Tabakov. In “12 Chairs” the partners of the “blue thief” Tabakov became.

Oleg Tabakov as Miss Andrew With his participation it was released large number children's films and fairy tales. In “Mary Poppins, Goodbye” (1983) Tabakov played Miss Andrew; in the film “After the Rain on Thursday” the actor played himself. After the voice acting in the cartoon “Prostokvashino”, which had already become a cult favorite for many generations, Tabakov simply could not help but voice the Hollywood one in the cartoon of the same name.
Personal life
In the early 1990s, Oleg Tabakov’s personal life became a top tabloid topic for a long time. After 35 years living together with his first wife, actress Lyudmila Krylova, Tabakov left the family for the actress. The age difference between Tabakov and Zudina, who was old enough for the actor to be his daughter, is 30 years. Tabakov’s children, Anton and Alexandra, supported their mother and even left the profession as a sign of protest. Over time, only his relationship with his father improved.
Oleg Tabakov with his first wife Lyudmila Krylova Oleg Tabakov and Marina Zudina got married in 1995 after a 10-year romance. Tabakov comments on his departure from the family: “no matter how banal it may sound, Lyuboff has come.” Tabakov described all the facts from his personal life and career and, of course, his love story in his autobiographical book “My Real Life.”
The affair with Marina Zudina was not the first time in the actor’s life when he became interested in the young actress. There is talk of a passionate romance between the then 34-year-old Tabakov and the 16-year-old, which began on the set of the film “Shine, Shine, My Star.” Proklova does not hide the fact that Tabakov was her first true love, and various gossip around their relationship and the actress’s minority only hindered them further relations.
Oleg Tabakov with children and grandchildren In 1995, the young wife gave Oleg Pavlovich a son, Pavel, and in 2006, a daughter, Maria.
I managed to grow up and continue my dad’s work. He graduated from Oleg Tabakov's studio school (they say he entered there without any patronage) and plays in the performances of the Moscow Art Theater. Chekhov. He has participated in such famous paintings, like “Star”, “Duelist”, “Orleans”.
The actor has three grandchildren: Nikita, Anya and Polina.
Recent years
In the fall of 2016, a long-awaited event occurred. The opening of a new stage of the Oleg Tabakov Theater took place on Sukharevskaya Square. The Tabakerka housewarming party was attended by the mayor of the capital. In particular, he told how meticulous and meticulous the artistic director of the theater was, who did not allow the project to be simplified.
