Biography of Lydia Shukshina. Why did Fedoseeva-Shukshina’s own daughters turn against Fedoseeva-Shukshina? Lydia Shukshina’s children, their age
Has not appeared in public for years. Such reclusion is not a desire to stand out, but a personal position. She grew up feeling like she was the unloved child in the family. My sister and I also parted ways. But no matter what happens in life, the former actress perceives it as God’s providence, which helps, saves and teaches.
Childhood and youth
The biography of Olga Shukshina began in July 1968. The father jokingly called the girl Olya-La, and in one letter, which she read as an adult, he wrote:
“We need a balance of power. Mom plus Manya equals Olya plus dad.”
The youngest daughter really took more from Vasily Makarovich, both externally and, as she herself admits, in character. The Shukshin children starred in films for the first time, not yet realizing what kind of action they were participating in. In the lyrical comedy “Stoves and Benches” they appeared together with their famous parents, and.
Maria Shukshina and Olga Shukshina in childhoodIt is logical that after graduating from school, Olga entered GITIS, from where after 2 years she transferred to VGIK. When I started writing myself, I went to the Literary Institute. Some sources say that she never graduated from the university, others say that she defended her thesis on the work of Vasily Shukshin, which is impossible without a diploma of higher education.
Olga inherited an impressive sum of money, and she left for America. But life overseas did not work out, and the girl returned home.
Movies
Olga actually has few roles. In 1974, she played in the film “Birds Over the City”, and 15 years later - in the drama “Mother”. Next, in 1990, a film adaptation of the story “The Eternal Husband” was released, where Shukshina appears in the episode. The young actress’s mother Lidiya Fedoseeva-Shukshina and sister Maria are involved in this project. In the psychological drama “Tired,” Olga starred in the company of and.
After this, there was a big break in Shukshina’s cinematic career. She returned to the screens only in 2009 in the film “I Believe!”, based on the stories of Vasily Shukshin. Olga preferred serving at a monastery, teaching, organizing social projects and studying her father’s heritage to a public profession.
“I moved away from acting. What is being offered on the film market now is not mine. Only after I starred in several films myself did I understand why in the old days actors were buried behind cemetery walls. This activity destroys the soul."
Personal life
Olga tried more than once to arrange her personal life. At VGIK she met her common-law husband Abubakir Kabulov, an Afghan by nationality, but baptized in Orthodoxy. A son was born, who was named in honor of his grandfather-writer. Paternal grandfather - People's Artist of the USSR Yuldash Agzamov. True, Vasily’s middle name is Nikolaevich. According to Olga, her mother prepared the documents and registered the child at her own discretion, since the parents did not register the marriage.
In search of her own place in life, Shukshina left for St. Petersburg, and from there to Sergiev Posad. Vasily studied at the monastery, Olga taught literature. Later, when there was a scandal about the apartment left after the death of Vasily Makarovich, the woman fell ill. On the advice of friends, I turned to a doctor whose name was Oleg. This already official union lasted 3 months. Olga admitted that she had never forgotten Kabulov, and was not adapted to a calm, measured life.

In 2013, she returned to secular life. Actually, after this the housing issue arose, which led to a quarrel with the family. Vasily wanted to become a director and during the entrance exams at VGIK he settled in his grandmother’s apartment, a share in which belonged to Shukshina. Olga, as a co-owner, was unpleasantly surprised that Maria’s eldest daughter already lived there. The relatives did not find a common language, and the young man was kicked out the door.
Both sides of the conflict then went on various TV shows for a long time, explaining their positions. Olga did not forgive her mother for such treatment of her own grandson. The former actress was called the first who “destroyed the idyllic picture that developed around his heirs after the death of Vasily Shukshin.” By the way, Anna sold the apartment. Lidiya Nikolaevna went to court, which was not on her side.
Shukshina’s niece founded the Vesna Foundation, which popularized the work of her grandfather. Olga suspected that Anna was using the money from the institution for personal purposes. In 2019, the director of the fund, Nikolai Kuznetsov, filed a lawsuit for the protection of honor and dignity and payment of compensation, then an audio recording appeared on the Internet in which Lidiya Fedoseeva-Shukshina speaks about deception on the part of a certain Kolya. Kuznetsov decided that it was about him, and Olga did the leaking, and went to court. The latter did not find evidence of causing moral suffering to the plaintiff.
Unverified accounts in “
The brilliant Russian actress Lidiya Fedoseeva-Shukshina received the Medal and Order for services to society and the Fatherland. Her talent was appreciated not only at home, but also abroad.
Lidia Fedoseeva-Shukshina had many offers from different directors. Even in retirement, she continues to act in films.
Leningrad became the hometown of Lydia Fedoseeva-Shukshina. She was born on September 25, 1938 and together with her parents survived the difficult siege of Leningrad.
Nothing more is known about Lida's father and mother. When the war ended, the girl went to school. She was able to receive knowledge from 1946-1956 in the famous Petrishula.
Love for acting
When Lida was in elementary school, she tried to play in the Leningrad drama club “House of Cinema” as often as possible. Here she had the joy of performing on stage, playing children's roles. During one such performance, young Lydia was appreciated by director Anatoly Granik. He liked the girl’s skill and decided to show her in his movie. Then work was underway on the film “Maxim Perepelitsa”, where Lida was supposed to play a laboratory assistant. Later she had another cameo role in the film “Two Captains”. These two small roles clearly showed Fedoseeva where she needed to direct her life path - into the world of cinema.
Therefore, in 1957, Lydia entered VGIK, where the talented one became her mentor. Literally 2 years later, the fruits of their training could be seen in Fedoseeva’s performance when she starred in the film “Peers.” After the release of this picture, many appreciated the new actress.
Changes
Lydia was invited to participate in the filming of the film “What is it like, the sea?” While working on the set, Fedoseeva met a handsome guy. The young people liked each other, and after a short time they got married. Now they were waiting not only for life together, but also for joint work. The couple can be seen together in the films “Stoves and Benches”, “Strange People” and others.
Further films in Shukshina’s creative biography were “Kalina Krasnaya”, “Birds over the City”, “They Fought for the Motherland”, “Dauria” and others. In almost all the films, Lydia appeared in the role of an ordinary peasant woman. Her appearance was very suitable, since the actress had a short stature and a figure corresponding to a Russian woman. In addition, Fedoseeva had a chic, long brown braid, which suited the image of a village woman.
Since 1974, the actress began introducing herself as Lydia Fedoseeva-Shukshina. The reason for this action was the sudden death of her husband. Despite the heavy loss, the woman continued to act in films. The cinema archive contains vivid films with the participation of Shukshina. These are “Vivat, Midshipmen!”, “Our Sins”, “12 Chairs”, Walking Through Torment” and others.
Since 1984, Lydia has been a People's Actress of the RSFSR. If at the beginning of her career she played only village women, then later Shukshina appeared as an empress, a teacher, a lady from high society and other leading figures. At the same time, Lydia very accurately reflected the qualities and character traits of such women.
Since the 2000s, Shukshina began to appear less and less in films. The reason for this is her work in the foundation in memory of her husband Vasily. Later, she transferred leadership of the foundation to her granddaughter Anna. Another public work was the presidential participation in the festival “Vivat, Cinema of Russia!”
Despite her active life, the actress also managed to star in several films. In 2014, Lydia played Martha in the film “The Martha Line.” According to the plot, mother and daughter decided to find Martha, to whom one soldier left a farewell letter on the wall. Shukshina played one of the Marthas who were found by the women. Even in 2018, Lydia appeared on the screens. She played in the film “McMafia” and was the mother of Vadim Kalyagin.
Personal life
Vasily Shukshin was not the first man of the young actress. She met her first husband, Vyacheslav Voronin, at the institute. Their romantic relationship quickly led to the registry office. A short time later, the couple had a daughter, Nastya. Their personal life can hardly be called happy. Lydia was either in Moscow or Leningrad, and Slavik generally worked in Kyiv. Meanwhile, their daughter together was with her parents. Therefore, Fedoseeva’s marriage soon broke up.

When Lydia was left alone, she met Vasily Shukshin. The couple lived together for 10 happy years and would have been able to live longer if not for Vasily’s death. During this time, the couple had Olga and Maria. At first, both daughters aspired to the same things as their parents. But this way of life became unpleasant for Ole, and she devoted herself to religion. The woman spent 15 years in a monastery, and then went to Africa and regularly attends church there. The daughter from her first marriage, Anastasia, connected her life with a foreigner and lived with him for a long time in Angola, where he worked as the head of counterintelligence. When her father V. Voronin died, she and her children returned to Kyiv.
For Lydia, her second husband remained forever in her heart. Later, she tried to fall in love again and was married three times, but neither Mikhail Agranovich nor even Marek Mezheevsky could make Shukshina happy. Therefore, now the woman lives alone and does not want to have anyone nearby.

The woman enjoys communicating with her children and grandchildren. And in 2014 she already became a great-grandmother and has a great-grandson, Vyacheslav. Lydia has a difficult relationship only with Olga, since the women have not resolved the real estate situation. Due to her nerves, Fedoseeva-Shukshina experiences significant heart problems and suffers from diabetes.
For Lydia, Vasily’s death still remains a mystery. She is sure that he was killed. On this day, Shukshin was relaxing with friends on the ship, where the tragedy happened. After his death, it was determined that the man had heart failure, which once again indicated that his death was unnatural. At the same time, there were rumors that the actor died from drunkenness, but the widowed wife rejects this idea. Others claimed that he died from a “heart attack” gas that was allegedly released into the actor’s cabin. Then Shukshin’s friend was on the ship, who should have known the cause of death. But the man refused to talk about this terrible day until his death and took his secret with him to the grave.

TO Strangely enough, in the voice of Lydia Fedoseeva-Shukshina’s first husband, Vyacheslav Voronin, no matter how hard I tried, I did not hear the slightest regret about the unsuccessful marriage “due to youth,” only complete indifference. He did not curse himself for the fact that once, in 1959, he took Lydia as his wife, and remembering the story of Shukshin with Fedoseeva (Voronin was not yet divorced from her), he was not angry. And he wasn’t even offended... She became nothing to him a long time ago. And they don’t take offense at anything. Everything he regretted was connected with Nastya.

Anastasia
Lidiya FEDOSEEVA-SHUKSHINA hardly knows that her daughter,
Anastasia VORONINA-FRANCISKU, has been in the Bryansk pre-trial detention center for two months
A Nastasia was detained in December at the Suzemka station, Bryansk region, bordering Ukraine, during an inspection of the Chisinau-Moscow fast train. Russian border guards, who discovered a cargo of drugs from a citizen of the once fraternal and now sovereign Ukraine, did not hesitate to take the woman to a pre-trial detention center. It was only during the investigation that it began that it became clear which bird was caught in the net.
Fame came to the third (more precisely, the first, eldest) daughter of Lydia Fedoseeva-Shukshina quite recently, when meticulous journalists found out that Anastasia, who lives in Kyiv, was married to an Angolan citizen, from whom she has a young daughter of the same skin color. Several newspapers immediately rushed to remind the movie star that she was the grandmother of a cute black child. Interviews with Anastasia were also circulated, in which she, to put it mildly, did not speak very flatteringly about her mother, sisters and Vasily Shukshin. But it didn’t turn out to be a super scandal.
And now 37-year-old Anastasia reminded herself again. Until the end of the investigation, FSB officers refuse to comment on the Voronina-Francisco case. The heads of the pre-trial detention center also did not allow me to meet with Anastasia. We only managed to find out that the daughter of a movie star does not enjoy any privileges: a common cell, where seven more people live besides her, a common regime, and regular food. It’s just that doctors have to pay more attention to Anastasia than others, but this is understandable - now the person under investigation is undergoing treatment for a venereal disease. According to the head of the pre-trial detention center, only journalists seem to be interested in the fate of Voronina-Francisco. Neither relatives nor friends even tried to visit her.
Mikhail SOLOVYANOVDAUGHTER DIVIDED IN COURT THIRTEEN TIMES
AND Anastasia lived with her grandmother, my mother. I was just on the set when she (Voronin mostly calls his ex-wife by a pronoun, and not by Lida or by last name) asked: can I take my daughter to Sudak for the duration of filming? Well, okay, I say, take it... After a while I come to Sudak to visit Nastya. And while I was walking along the embankment to their hut, they already told me everything. Filmmakers, like journalists, know everything about their own... They say to me: “Why did you come? She’s with Vaska!”
I go into the house. Vasya woke up. “Hello, Slava, we need to talk, let’s go have a drink,” Shukshin said to me. By the way, that year he and his wife, also Lida, had a roughly similar story - a family collapse, in short... I didn’t go out for a drink: why? Baba, should I drink it? And talk... About what?
“We,” said Shukshin, “got along with Lida.” I knew that it was not with his Lida, but with mine, but there was no news in this. Of course, Fedoseeva assured Shukshin that she had separated from her ex-husband, that is, from me, although at that moment this was not officially the case... In general, I felt sorry for Vasya, because she simply used the chance to arrange her personal life in Moscow... Then, when Shukshin finally realized this, he began, as she herself admitted, “to chase her around the house with a stake.”
Occasionally, Nastya was briefly taken by her second grandmother, her mother’s mother, to Leningrad. But calls soon began from there: it was difficult to support the child, there was not enough money. Everything is correct. Old people...
Time has passed. He arrives: he needs to officially get a divorce. Can I get my last name back? Yes, what problems! Be not Voronina, but Fedoseeva - please. Years pass... Nastenka has already started school, suddenly she files a lawsuit to get her daughter back. The first court awarded Anastasia to her grandmother... The second court, a higher instance, awarded it to her. The third court, an even higher instance, is for the grandmother. The fourth court - higher than the previous one - to Fedoseeva, the fifth - to the grandmother, the sixth - to the mother... Nastya grew up and declared: “I don’t want to live with anyone but my grandmother!” In general, the last, thirteenth court, by decision of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, left Nastya to my grandmother, my mother. And everyone calmed down. And when my daughter was in ninth grade, my grandmother died. Then Nastya moved to Kyiv with us.”
In Kyiv, Nastya studied with straight A's. The younger brother Slava (they have a fifteen-year age difference) was terribly proud of his stepsister: “She was an authority both in the yard and at school!”
True, in the tenth grade, dad recalls, Anastasia skipped classes for more than a month (“I found cigarettes in the pocket of her sheepskin coat!”), and then showed up home with a completely lisping girl: “I’m quitting school, and we’ll go to a store school!”
Both father and stepmother, whom Anastasia loved and called not mother, but Sveta, were able to insist on their own. Nastya completed her studies, graduated from school very well and suddenly decided to enter VGIK. She didn’t resort to anyone’s help (neither her father nor her own mother)... And although the third round at VGIK was “covered” for applicant Voronina, she was more upset about another matter. In Moscow, she wanted to visit Lydia Fedoseeva. With a box of chocolates. But they didn’t open the door for the girl... She got into the car, freaked out, threw candy into the back seat and burst into tears.
“I don’t know, maybe Nastya met with her mother later... They said that she seemed to have given her silver earrings for the wedding... Why did Nastya marry a black man? Who knows... When Nelson came to our house, he called Svetlana "tessya", that is, "mother-in-law", and me - "daddy", this is "daddy".
One day Svetlana told him: “Nelson, in this house there will always be a hundred grams and a plate of borscht for you, but first, the registry office.” He replied: “Got it!” And they got married... The daughter and Nelson flew to Africa. And when the war began in Luanda, Nastya and Laura rushed to Moscow on literally the last Soviet plane. It was November, snow, and they were in shorts and flip-flops... Nelson sent a telegram: meet them, they say!
We were rushing about because neither the date nor the flight was indicated... In general, Nastya bought some kind of coat for herself at Sheremetyevo, and a fur coat for her daughter so as not to freeze... They arrived in Kyiv. And Nelson was in captivity for a year and a half, then he was released... Now he works at the Luanda airport. He sends letters, wants them to come there... Well, I don’t know.”
Laura, who gained all-Russian fame thanks to journalists, is the daughter of Anastasia Voronina, studying at the Kiev Lyceum.
“She has something wrong with her stomach, we need to check, otherwise she’s not eating this, and she’s not eating that! — Kyiv grandmother Svetlana laments. - In general, she is so smart! And she dances gorgeously, and sings, and plays.”
“Can you imagine? Laura plays the bandura. This is something! A little black girl plays the bandura,” admires the grandfather, Voronin Sr. And the younger one assures that his niece, who knows “a bunch of languages,” “speaks with a Ukrainian accent.”
This is understandable. If I was in Moscow, it was only while passing through.

- In the entire history of the Bryansk pre-trial detention center, the only celebrity among its inhabitants was Valery Chkalov, who crashed his fighter somewhere nearby while trying to fly under a power line. For several days, the legendary pilot awaited his fate in cell No. 12, from where he was released without any trial or punishment on Stalin’s personal orders.

Anastasia about Shukshin:
"N and a man (as it turned out later, Shukshin) was sleeping in a dead sleep. Apparently he had taken a good dose of alcohol, because, having opened his eyes, he began throwing chervonets out of his trouser pockets, scattering them in a fan across the floor. I had never seen money thrown around like that before, and with the curiosity inherent in any child, I watched this shamanism from around the corner. And Shukshin, receiving some inexplicable satisfaction from the wild dance, stepped barefoot on the bills, rejoicing that they stuck to the soles of his feet. Finally, noticing me, he winced in disgust..."
Anastasia about sisters:
"M Asha always tried to emphasize that she was not interested in her mother’s past, and when I called, she answered the phone with disappointment: “Ah-ah, is that you? Wait, I’ll call my mother now.” Olga, on the contrary, is very open and sympathetic. In my opinion, this is the only person in that family who tried to show interest in my fate.”
From an interview with the newspaper Pravda Ukrainy.
Anastasia about her mother:
"WITH To say “mama” is hard to come by, and Lidiya Nikolaevna sounds pretentious and official. My mother and I are united only by kinship of the flesh, but not of the spirit.”

In the Shukshin family, squabbles have not stopped for many years: relatives cannot divide property. But few people know that Vasily Shukshin’s daughters Olga and Maria also have an older sister Katya. It turns out that Vasily Makarovich, until his death, rushed between her mother and his last wife, Lydia Fedoseeva-Shukshina...
Ekaterina Shukshina did not make a business using her famous name. She did not choose a public profession for herself - becoming an artist or TV presenter. For many years, Katya has been engaged in literary translations from English, German and French. He lives modestly and does not claim fame laurels. And, as a rule, he remembers his famous father only in the family circle...
BETWEEN THE WIFE AND THE BRIDE
“I’m confused about women,” Vasily Shukshin always honestly admitted in letters to his mother, whom he loved and respected more than anyone in the world. She tried to reason with him, to set him on the right path, but to no avail. The amorous Shukshin promised: “I’ll figure it out myself” - and got involved in his novels even deeper.
Once I put my mother in such a position that she almost burned out of shame. Vasya unexpectedly came to visit her in his native village in Altai. Yes, not alone. He brought a pregnant bride - if you please, they say, love and favor. All the locals came running to look at the girl. They whispered behind her back and pointed fingers. After all, they knew: in the village Vasily’s legal wife, Maria Shumskaya, was waiting.
He married her while still a student. He invited her to Moscow with him, but she didn’t go, he asked for a divorce, but she didn’t give it. Shukshin had to “lose” his passport in order to get rid of the marriage stamp.
The villagers took pity on the pregnant Vika Sofronova and did not tell her the truth - the girl left after the viewing confident that her wedding to Vasya was just around the corner...
She learned that her father was already married much later from one researcher of his biography, says Ekaterina, who was then being carried by her fiancée Shukshina, about that situation.
BOTTLE OF PORT WINE FOR A MOTHER
Shukshin met Vika Sofronova at the House of Writers. He read his stories there, and she, a literary critic for the Moscow magazine, came to listen to the aspiring author. The listeners did not appreciate the nugget and “chopped it into cabbage.”
Mom felt unbearably sorry for the man. “She came to console him,” says Ekaterina. - Soon after this, Shukshin invited her to the premiere of his first film “There Lives Such a Guy.” An affair began, which resulted in my mother’s pregnancy.
It must be said that Victoria Sofronova was not just a Muscovite, but also the daughter of the editor-in-chief of Ogonyok, poet Anatoly Sofronov. He, of course, did not approve of the appearance of a simple guy from the village as the groom of his beloved daughter.
The lop-eared Altai nugget managed to end up in the family of a shady party functionary,” Ekaterina shakes her head. “Once my parents were walking not far from the editorial office where my grandfather worked. Mom suggested: “Shall we come in?” Shukshin reluctantly agreed. Grandfather accepted them, but without enthusiasm. Mom suddenly realized: I was the only one speaking, the conversation was clearly not going well. We sat for 15-20 minutes and left... We practically didn’t communicate anymore.
Victoria herself did not find everything easy to accept in Vasily.
My city mother was even offended when my father handed her a bottle of port wine to the maternity hospital. Everyone has flowers on their bedside tables, and she has flowers on you!.. Shukshin knew that in the villages women in labor are drunk with red wine, so he took care,” says Ekaterina Shukshina.
LIFE FOR TWO FAMILIES
Soon after the birth of her daughter, Victoria suffered a blow that she had not expected. Rumors have reached that Vasily is cheating on her! And indeed, while Vika was pregnant, Shukshin started an affair. On the set of the film “What is it like, the sea?” he met actress Lydia Fedoseeva and, as they say, disappeared. But he had no intention of leaving either of his two beloved women. And with this began his many years of tossing between Victoria Sofronova and Lydia Fedoseeva.
It’s hard for me to understand how my mother tolerated this,” says Ekaterina. - Once, however, she kicked her father in anger - so much so that her skirt cracked along the entire seam. Do you think Shukshin left that evening? Mom was in front of him, bursting into tears, sewing up her favorite skirt!
Many years later, Victoria tried to explain to her now grown-up daughter why she tolerated Shukshin’s infidelities for several years.
You understand, he never lied to me,” she said. “I didn’t tell the truth, but I didn’t lie even once.”
“Why are you so gullible? - Shukshin once asked his mother. “Didn’t anyone deceive you?” - “And to whom, Vasya?”
Then she heard this dialogue in “Kalina Krasny”...
So Vasily Makarovich lived with two families, until life itself put everything in its place: Victoria Sofronova, tired of waiting for him to make up his mind, married a prose writer, and Lydia Fedoseeva gave birth to daughters Olga and Masha.
“I OFTEN SEE KATYA IN MY DREAMS”
Having started a family with Lydia Fedoseeva, Shukshin came to visit his eldest daughter Katya infrequently.
He wasn't much of a teacher. After all, a child is like an animal, a child’s soul unmistakably senses where they will let you go. And I knew that with my father I was allowed everything...,” admits Ekaterina.
Shukshin did not particularly raise her, but showed his love in the most convenient form for a writer - in letters to her mother:
“Vika, tell me how a girl who has reached her second year “behaves”? How was your birthday? Did she flirt with the guests? And what did you look like in your new dress?”
In the last years of his life, he often wrote sad messages from the hospital: “I often see Katya in my dreams. I wake up and look for her next to me. It still seems to me that she is lying on my hand. But it only happened once.”
The parents decided that Ekaterina should go to school with Shukshina, and submitted documents to restore paternity. What greatly outraged Lydia Fedoseeva-Shukshina: in her interviews, she directly stated that this was Sofronova’s “cunning plan” to claim her rights to Shukshin’s inheritance...
That magnificent day is firmly etched in my memory: the sun, the courtyards “dressed in crimson and gold,” Katya describes October 2, 1974. “I come home from school, my mother greets me, and her tears don’t even fall, but flow in streams. He says in a naughty voice: “Dad died.” And I don't understand what this means...
It was important for Victoria Sofronova that her daughter, no matter what, be proud of her father.
After dad died, she hung his portrait on the wall. Her friends gasped: “You're crazy! With my husband alive!” But mom also knew how to be adamant: “Katya has a father!”
Yes, the same as the famous Maria Shukshina. By the way, Katya’s relationship with her did not work out. But they are warm friends with Lydia Fedoseeva-Shukshina’s eldest daughter, Olga.
We started communicating as adults,” says Katya. - I think Vasily Makarovich is happy for us...

Name: Lidiya Fedoseeva-Shukshina
Zodiac sign: Scales
Age: 80 years
Place of birth: St. Petersburg, Russia
Height: 163
Activity: Soviet and Russian theater and film actress, People's Artist of the RSFSR
Tags: cinema, actress, performer, RSFSR
Marital status: married to Bari Alibasov
Lidia Nikolaevna Fedoseeva-Shukshina - People's Artist of the RSFSR, wife of the Soviet writer, director and actor Vasily Shukshin, became famous for her roles in her husband's film masterpieces "Stoves and Benches", "Strange People" and "Kalina Krasnaya". Mother of actress Maria Shukshina.
Lydia was born in September 1938 in Leningrad. There is little information about the actress’s parents. All that is known is that the family was able to safely survive the siege of Leningrad. After the war, Lydia went to school. The girl was lucky enough to study at the oldest school in the city, “Petrishule”. Even in elementary school, the girl began to show interest in acting. Lida went to the drama club at the Leningrad House of Cinema. It was here that Fedoseeva first appeared on stage, playing roles in children's plays.
One day, director Anatoly Granik stopped by one of the amateur productions. The director immediately noticed the talented girl and offered Lydia the role of a laboratory assistant in the film “Maxim Perepelitsa”. The young artist was lucky enough to play another cameo role in the film “Two Captains.” Despite the fact that Lida only starred in episodes, the actress gained her first experience in cinema and understood who she would like to be in the future.
In 1957, Fedoseeva came to Moscow and became a student at VGIK. The girl ended up with wonderful mentors Tamara Makarova and Sergei Gerasimov. The country saw the result of the mentorship of the masters and the talent of the young actress two years later. The student starred in the wonderful film “Peers,” which was watched with pleasure by millions of Soviet viewers. The role of Tanya brought the St. Petersburg artist all-Union fame. Although real popularity was still on the way. The biography of the actress was completely changed by filming in one film.
While working on the set of the film “What is it like, the sea?”, Lydia met her future husband Vasily Shukshin. The subsequent marriage and creative collaboration were successful.
Together with her husband, Lidiya Fedoseeva-Shukshina starred in the films “Stoves and Benches” and “Strange People.” After that there were “Dauria” and “Kalina Krasnaya”. In most of these films, Fedoseeva-Shukshina played ordinary village women, strong, but at the same time weak in a feminine way. The actress was short (163 centimeters), had the figure of a Russian woman and had a fair-haired braid, so she transformed into her own heroines organically, without exaggeration. It is curious that the images of peasant women were easy for the actress, who was born and raised in the city.
In 1974, after the sudden death of her husband, Lidia Nikolaevna took a double surname - Fedoseeva-Shukshina. The actress continued acting, but no other film brought Lidia Nikolaevna such fame as the film hits “Stoves and Benches”, “Kalina Krasnaya” and “They Fought for the Motherland”.
Despite this, the artist’s collection (over 100 roles in theater and cinema) includes wonderful films loved by millions of Soviet viewers. Fedoseeva-Shukshina stunningly played Madame Gritsatsueva in the film adaptation of “12 Chairs.” Lydia’s roles in the films “We Sat on the Golden Porch”, “Vivat, Midshipmen!”, “Walking Through Torment” and “Our Sins” turned out to be memorable and colorful.
Many generations of Soviet and Russian film fans to this day enjoy watching the film “Chauffeur for One Flight”, where Lydia Fedoseeva-Shukshina starred in the title role along with Oleg Efremov. Another film that turned out to be the discovery of the year is “You Never Even Dreamed It,” where Fedoseeva-Shukshina, together with Albert Filozov, played a married couple, the parents of the main character Romka.
In 1984, the actress was awarded the title of People's Artist of the RSFSR. During her film career, the actress many times reincarnated herself as ladies of high society (“Little Tragedies,” the TV series “St. Petersburg Mysteries”), empresses (“The Demidovs,” “Countess Sheremetev,” “Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka”), party workers (“It’s not a beautiful life to live ban”), as well as teachers (“Talisman”) and even the head of a kindergarten (“Limit of Desires”).
Lidia Nikolaevna can convey the character of a petty bribe-taker from the district council (“Bribe. From the notebook of journalist V. Tsvetkov”) and a lonely divorced woman Grusha Veselova (“Call me into the bright distance”), a collective farmer (“From the life of vacationers”) and an eccentric circus cashier ( "Quarantine").
Starting from the mid-2000s, the actress began to rarely appear on screen, devoting time and energy to work in the foundation in memory of the legendary Vasily Shukshin, the leadership of which in recent years she handed over to her granddaughter Anna. In 2005, Lidia Nikolaevna was elected president of the film festival “Vivat, Cinema of Russia!” But social activity was not an obstacle to starring in major projects - the comedy melodrama “Marrying a Millionaire!” and the crime drama "Mother's Heart."
Her last work in cinema was the role of an actress in the melodrama “The Martha Line”. The film is about the touching love story of the teenager Yura, a resident of besieged Leningrad, who left the memory of his tender feelings for the girl Martha in the form of a text on the wall of his apartment.
A letter with words of forgiveness was discovered by 2 contemporaries - mother Olga (Maria Anikanova) and daughter Natasha (Olga Kraskovskaya), who decided to find the same Marta. Lydia Nikolaevna appeared in the film in the form of one of the women named Martha, whom 2 detectives are looking for.
For the first time, Lydia Fedoseeva got married at an early age. The girl met her future husband at the institute. The romance with the Ukrainian artist Vyacheslav Voronin developed very quickly and immediately culminated in marriage. The artist’s first daughter, Anastasia, was born into the family.
This was a difficult period in the life of Lydia Nikolaevna. The actress was torn between Leningrad and Moscow. In one capital the girl studied and worked, in another the little daughter lived with her parents. Meanwhile, the husband worked in the Ukrainian capital. Due to distance and busyness, this marriage broke up.
For the second time, the actress legalized her relationship with Vasily Shukshin. It was a marriage of love, which remained until the death of the writer and director. The personal life of Lydia Fedoseeva-Shukshina was surprisingly happy during their ten years together. In marriage with Shukshin, two children were born - daughters Maria Shukshina and Olga Shukshina. In memory of that happy period, a large number of family photographs remained in the artist’s personal archive. Both daughters followed in the footsteps of their parents, but after Olga left worldly life and completely devoted herself to faith. Olga spent fifteen years in a monastery, and later moved to the African continent, where she lives in a town on the shores of the Red Sea and constantly attends church.
The eldest daughter Anastasia became the wife of a foreigner, went to Angola and took the surname Voronin-Francisco. Husband Nelson Francisco was the head of counterintelligence in Angola. After the death of her father Vyacheslav Voronin the year before last, Anastasia and her children moved to Kyiv.
After the death of Vasily Makarovich in 1974, Lydia Fedoseeva-Shukshina made more than once attempts to arrange her personal life. However, marriages with Bari Alibasov, Mikhail Agranovich and Marek Mezheevsky turned out to be short-lived. For a long time, the artist could not meet a person who could take the empty place in a woman’s heart.
Fedoseeva-Shukshina has 7 grandchildren. In 2014, granddaughter Anna, daughter of Maria Shukshina, gave birth to Lydia Nikolaevna’s great-grandson Vyacheslav. The actress does not keep in touch with her older daughters.
Currently, Lidiya Fedoseeva-Shukshina lives in Moscow. The actress does not often leave the apartment; Lidia Nikolaevna moves with the help of a cane. The artist’s health condition worsened due to arrhythmia and diabetes. The situation surrounding the real estate dispute between mother and daughter Olga also had an impact on well-being. The conflict has been going on for many years and both sides have not found the desired solution. The development of the situation was the subject of the “We Talk and Show” program, which was broadcast on the NTV channel at the beginning of last year.
In November of this year, the actress became the heroine of the front pages of the media. It turned out that Bari Alibasov and Lidiya Fedoseeva-Shukshina formalized their relationship. The wedding ceremony took place at the Kutuzovsky registry office on November 20.
Only the closest relatives and friends of the newlyweds were present at the wedding. It turned out that after numerous attempts to build their happiness separately, Alibasov and Fedoseeva-Shukshina again became close and decided to get married.
