Irina Saltykova: “It’s not a woman’s business to think about work. Irina Saltykova told how she defeated cancer
The singer has been giving concerts depending on her mood lately, she hardly goes to social parties, and recently rumors have spread that she is moving to live in Italy...
Irina Saltykova.
press service materials.
“I’m not moving anywhere,” Irina answered. “It’s just that now my daughter and I are relaxing in Forte dei Marmi. Recently, I have made changes in my work schedule: touring from time to time, not thirty concerts a month, as before. Still, you need to be able to rest. And if in Moscow the atmosphere is very tense, then here you get pleasure: both from the food and from the fact that sometimes you simply do nothing.
— Even shopping doesn’t attract you?
— Now I don’t buy as many things as before. But in general, when you put on something new, you feel different, just like when you took a shower - that’s the feeling. I travel often and always bring something back. I have four closets in my house. Summer, winter, for rare items and for the stage.
— What do you plan to do upon returning to the capital?
— In the summer, my plans are mainly related to travel. Now I’m in Forte dei Marmi, but we also want to go to Capri, Sardinia. Perhaps in August we will go on a yacht to Croatia. Then France, Cote d'Azur. In general, we love to take a car and travel around Europe in it.
— Who’s driving, if it’s not a secret?
- Like who? My common-law husband. I rest myself, I don’t drive!
— Is there a chance that your fans will hear new hits from Irina Saltykova?
—Are you talking about creative plans? There is such a singer Natalie, who once sang one song “The wind blew from the sea”, and now she sang “Oh, God, what a man”... Creative plans are when there will be a hit song. But this is unpredictable. You need to write one hit, not a hundred. There's no point in releasing an album now. My daughter has much more creative plans, and I rejoice at her achievements even more than mine. And at my age, issues of personal life are already more important. I think this is also creativity.
— There are rumors that you have almost closed your clothing business too...
— I am a business person. But sometimes business people also get overwhelmed when they put too much pressure on themselves. That's why now I rest more than work. Business, of course, remained, but purely for our own, at least. I give things away for sale, take orders - and that’s it. I worked from morning to night for three years and was very exhausted physically and mentally during this time. I don't even want to think about work. This is not a woman's business. (Laughs.)
— You have always been a very independent person both in your musical career and in business. Now you also don’t need anyone or is your common-law husband still helping?
- Helps a lot. I don't want to live alone, this is wrong. It seems to me that a woman should live with a man, it’s easier physically, morally, and financially. My husband helps me in all aspects, I feel good and easy with him. And it shouldn't be any other way. I remember how my husband left me with a child in his arms - and in my life then there was only work, and nothing else. It shouldn't be this way.
- So you were lucky to meet your person?
“I don’t know, maybe I was lucky, or maybe that’s how it should be.” We come up with what we want. And God gives this to us. It’s important not just to meet and live for a couple of years. It is important to maintain the relationship. Of course, my husband is not perfect and not the best. And even I sometimes not everyone likes me. But if you’ve already fallen in love and started a family, develop it further.
—You deliberately don’t reveal the identity of your man?
— He has nothing to do with music, except that sometimes he sings karaoke. (Laughs.) By the way, there are songs that he does well, for example, by Irina Allegrova. In general, he is a businessman. And I think it’s not very correct and correct to reveal his person: well, he is and is. Everything is like people, in short.
- You have been together for several years. Have you considered the prospect of a wedding with a white dress?
“I ask myself this question all the time and can’t find an answer.” Who is all this for? For friends? Well, maybe - have fun, drink champagne. And if for yourself, then you don’t need a white dress. In general, it is better to just live.
— Due to the fact that you have more free time, you probably have new hobbies?
— I’m only involved in development. I want something new. For a year now I have been going to ballet for physical fitness, and for the soul I often visit theaters.
— I heard that you also impressed your friends with your design talent. After you made repairs in your home, they began to ask you to work for others...
- It was so. Maybe I’ll make some kind of apartment, but only for my people. In general, I want to take an architecture course.
— What are you proud of in your home?
— We have a huge veranda with a fireplace, a sofa, a large table, and a coal-fired samovar. There is a cauldron, we cook there. In general, I have always loved the comfort of home.
— I would like to talk about your daughter’s career. Many already know that Alisa is making good progress in the music business in Europe...
— Alice’s task is to become a singer famous in the world. And I’m happy for her, because the person is creative, working on a solo career. I can’t tell you what she does specifically, because I don’t really know. She usually answers all my questions: “Mom, you can’t tell ahead of time!” She writes songs with different producers, works in clubs in London, but not much. Sometimes there are tours.
- At this rate, she can also overtake her mother...
“She overtook my mother a long time ago.” Now she must surpass the world's stars!
— How do a mother and an artist help a growing star?
- How can I help you? Only morally. She doesn't even need my advice anymore. And the level of her vocal training is already such that I don’t even know how it’s done! The musical material is completely different. In general, she does everything herself. It’s hard for her, but for herself.
—Does she already earn money herself?
— He earns little for now. (Laughs.)
— You always said that you and your daughter were friends. Do you still have such a relationship?
“We always found a common language, even when I, as a mother, insisted on something, and my daughter wanted something completely different. And now I'm happy with it. She is smart and beautiful. Most importantly, smart. Well-mannered, talented and educated - what I wanted. But it’s too early to talk about achievements in the profession. Let him achieve results by the age of 30.
Irina Ivanovna Saltykova is a Russian singer, actress, businesswoman, whose popularity peaked in the second half of the 90s. Performer of the hits “Gray Eyes”, “Blue Eyes”, winner of the “Golden Gramophone” (1996) and “Ovation” (1998) awards.
Irina Saltykova (before Sapronov’s marriage) was born on May 5, 1966 in the Tula region, in the city of Severo-Zadonsk. The girl grew up in a simple, poor family: her father Ivan Alekseevich Sapronov worked as a machinist, and her mother Valentina Dmitrievna worked in a kindergarten. Irina has an older brother, Vladislav, born in her mother’s first marriage. When the girl turned 11 years old, the family moved to Novomoskovsk, Tula region.
Until the age of 12, Irina was seriously involved in rhythmic gymnastics; the girl even managed to pass the standard for a candidate for master of sports. At competitions, Sapronova repeatedly received prizes. In addition to sports, she was fond of handicrafts and attended sewing and knitting clubs.
After graduating from school, the future singer entered a construction college, where she was a student from 1981 to 1985. After technical school, the girl was supposed to leave for assignment in Tula, but decided to try her luck in the capital. Purposeful Irina continued her studies at the Moscow State University of Economics, Statistics and Informatics, which she graduated in absentia in 1990. Exact sciences were given to Irina with ease, the graduate defended her diploma with “excellent” marks, despite this, fate prepared a different scenario for the girl.
Music
In 1989, Irina Saltykova became the soloist of the then popular group “Mirage”. In the group, where, in addition to Irina, she began performing, the singer stayed for three months, after which she got a job in the Delhi variety show. By that time, the artist was already married and had a daughter.
![](https://i1.wp.com/24smi.org/public/media/resize/800x-/2017/9/5/Irina-Saltykova-molodaya-01.jpg)
In 1993, Irina tried to start a business, for which she purchased trading tents. The business failed, and troubles in family life pushed the girl to a solo singing career. Saltykova had to sell the tents, and the proceeds were spent on the release of the first song.
Saltykova’s full-fledged singing debut took place in 1994 at a concert that took place in the capital on the stage of the Warsaw cinema. Then Irina performed the song “Let Me Go,” which was later included in the first album.
A few months later, the singer recorded her debut composition “Gray Eyes”, composed and written by Oleg Molchanov and Arkady Slavorosov. This hit became Saltykova’s calling card. The singer's inexpressive vocal abilities were more than made up for by her attractive appearance and seductive behavior. For that time, the video for the song “Gray Eyes” turned out to be provocative, filled with erotic meaning.
In 1995, the first album of the same name was released, which sold out in huge quantities, second only to the collection. The songs “Yes and No” and “Clear Falcon” also become hits. A year later, the artist received the Golden Gramophone award for the musical composition “Gray Eyes.”
The stunning success was cemented by the release of Irina’s next disc, “Blue Eyes” (1996). The video was not inferior to the singer’s previous video in terms of the piquantness of some scenes, so the management of the ORT TV channel did not dare to air it. But in 1997, the ambitious artist held two solo concerts - at the Moscow Rossiya Concert Hall and the St. Petersburg Oktyabrsky Concert Hall, and then went on a tour. Irina, who is short (height 159 cm, weight 51 kg), knew how to excite the audience with her own songs and dances.
A year later, Saltykova was still traveling around the country giving solo concerts. In 1998, the artist’s next album, “Alice,” was released, dedicated to her daughter. Irina shot videos for songs from the disc “By-bye” and “White Scarf”. The musical compositions of the disc turned out to be more soulful and lyrical, for which the album received the national Ovation award. At the turn of the century, the artist starred in a photo shoot for the Russian version of Playboy, which caused a stir among fans of the publication. The magazine's management decided to expand the circulation.
In 2001, Irina Saltykova released another album “Destiny” with the hits “Sunny Friend”, “Ogonki”, “If You Want”, “Strange Love”, “Alone”, video clips for which were created by popular music video directors Igor Korobeinikov and Vladislav Opelyants. Teasers for the fifth album “I am yours” in 2004 were clips for the songs “I miss you”, “I am yours”, “Hello-hello”, “Knock-knock”, released a year earlier.
In total, Irina Saltykova released six albums, the last of which was “Byla was not…” (2008). In 2009, together with Diane Martel, an American video director and choreographer, the artist released the video “Tears of Glamor,” in which she showed fans her impeccable physical shape.
Movies
Having conquered the singing Olympus, Irina Saltykova decided to try herself in cinema. The singer had her first chance to star in a feature film in 2000, when the director invited the singer to the film “Brother-2”. Then Irina got a secondary role, but the artist’s work was positively assessed by viewers and critics.
In 2001, Saltykova again starred as herself, but in Igor Korobeinikov’s film “Wings”. The film combines fiction, reportage and documentary filming. In 2002, the singer appeared in Stanislav Mareev’s action film “Russian Special Forces”. This time the actress got the main role of an FSB agent. The same year, the film “Provincials” was released, in which the star again played herself. Then a break began in Saltykova’s acting biography.

From 2005 to 2011, the singer starred in the series “Kulagin and Partners”, in 2009 she participated in the project “Give Youth!” The main roles in the popular sketch show were played by actors from the STS and TNT TV channels - , . In 2011, with the participation of Saltykova, the series “Pilot of International Airlines” was released.
In 2008, Irina Saltykova released two books - “Encyclopedia of Beauty from Irina Saltykova” and “A Great Gift for Supergirls from Irina Saltykova.”

In the second half of the 2000s, the singer opened her own style salon “Irina Saltykova”, which was located on Savvinskaya embankment. The artist benefited from her concert experience, when she had to sew costumes, do makeup, and choreograph dances herself. In addition to selling branded clothing, the salon employees provided tailoring and repair services for casual and outerwear. At the beginning of 2015, Saltykova closed the company due to unprofitability.
Personal life
Irina met her future husband on vacation in Sochi. At that time (1985) Saltykov was a very popular performer, the lead singer of the Forum group. The whole country knew the band’s songs “Let’s Call,” “Island,” and “White Night.” The meeting happened by chance, like in a fairy tale. Irina and her friend went out for an evening walk along the embankment; young people walked towards them, one of whom presented the girl with several bouquets of flowers. This charming stranger turned out to be Victor.

The wedding of Irina and Victor took place in 1987, the girl took her husband’s surname. That same year, the couple had a daughter, Alice. The couple's marriage lasted 8 years. The crisis in the relationship of the spouses coincided with the creative crisis of Viktor Saltykov. The singer's popularity turned out to be fleeting. This pushed the artist to go to great lengths. Irina had to endure her husband’s drunken brawls and even assault. However, the singer learned a lot from her relationship with Saltykov. Marriage gave her a daughter and life experience. The artist took up music despite her husband.
Later in her personal life, Irina Saltykova did not experience a lack of attention from men, but none of the romances ended in marriage. In the late 90s, the girl was credited with a relationship with a representative of the criminal world. In 2000, the singer was spotted several times in the company of a Russian hockey player. The artist’s last chosen one was an entrepreneur named Igor, whose relationship Irina stopped hiding in 2013.

In 2016, Saltykova posted on her own account in “ Instagram"joint photos with the actor, after which Irina’s fans suggested the existence of a close relationship between the artists. What added piquancy to the situation was the fact that Alexander is married and has no intention of getting a divorce.
Irina Saltykova now
In 2016, Irina Saltykova returned to show business. The artist released the album “Previously Unreleased”, as well as the single “Follow Me” by video director Alisher. At the anniversary concert organized in honor of the cult film “Brother 2,” Irina Saltykova acted as co-host of showman Oleg Garkusha. The program of the gala event included songs for the film - “Colonel” (“Bi-2”), “Earth” (“Masha and the Bears”), “Secret” (“Agatha Christie”), “TuLuLa” (), “Life Line "("Spleen") and others.
In the same year, with the participation of the artist, and also on Channel One, the premiere of the show “Without Insurance” took place. Irina easily coped with rhythmic gymnastics exercises, the artist performed on a balance beam and did a routine with clubs. Master of Sports in sports acrobatics Nikita Onishchenko regularly appeared in a duet with the singer.

At the end of the summer of 2017, the singer presented a new song “The Word “But””, and also gave an interview for the newspaper “Source of News”, where she said that she would only marry a real colonel. The artist began a creative collaboration with her daughter Alisa, who is now creating musical material for her mother’s solo project. Alisa lives in two countries - Russia and England, and writes music for the English-speaking public, but for the sake of her mother she made an exception. The girl called one of the songs “Girl - B.”

Calling him a “ram” and a “goat” in the studio. The singer cannot forgive her ex-wife for his wild lifestyle and neglect of their daughter Alice, which, according to her, became the reason for their divorce. Viktor Saltykov voiced a different opinion in the studio. According to him, Irina is a bitch, and even excellent external data does not compensate for her bad character, which she is not going to change.
The other day, the Rossiya 1 TV channel showed a new program by Boris Korchevnikov called “The Fate of a Man,” in which Irina became the heroine. The singer again touched upon the topic of her relationship with Victor, once again recalling his first letter to her, in which young Victor wrote: “My insignificance idolizes you.” “As I prophesied!” - she laughed in the studio.
Saltykova said that she and Victor got married a year and a half after they met. She admits: their romance developed rapidly, and everything led to a pregnancy that she did not want. True, she found out that the singer was expecting a child quite late, at 12 weeks. At this time, it was only possible to have an “underground” abortion, and Saltykova had already decided to do it, but Victor stopped her. The young singer proposed to his beloved and reassured her that everything would be fine. Although Irina says that even his bandmates were against him getting married. At that time, this was practically prohibited for soloists of popular youth groups.

By the way, Irina emphasizes: she is categorically against abortion. She always tells her 28-year-old daughter Alice not to do this under any circumstances:
listal.comAs I say to Alice now: “Under no circumstances, never from anyone. You made a mistake, something happened to anyone... Just give birth. 500 are all ours.” These are the two main and most serious things in life, everything else is nonsense.

However, the relationship quickly faded away and, despite the fact that the couple lived 8 years of marriage, love passed away already in the third year of their life together. The husband, according to Saltykova, drank a lot, raised his hand to her and took less and less part in their family life. And at the end of the relationship, he had another Irina - a woman who later became his second wife. Saltykova could not forgive the betrayal, and they divorced.

Irina says that the divorce happened a month after her dad died. This time was incredibly difficult for her. She lost a lot of weight and literally began to waste away before our eyes. While in America, I decided to go to the gynecologist and get tested. He asked her when was the last time she did this. The singer replied that she did not remember. The doctor laughed and asked why she even decided to do this.

When Irina, 30 at the time, had already returned to Russia, she suddenly received a call from an American clinic and was stunned by the news about a malignant tumor. Saltykova did not specify what type of oncology it was, but she told the studio how difficult it was to pull herself together and not lose heart.
I blamed myself for everything. I exhausted myself. Honestly, I didn’t even think: “If I’m gone, that’s it, it’s over.” I wasn’t worried about this at all, I was worried about my parents, about Alice, that, God forbid, she would be left without me. And then I had confidence that I would be cured.
However, after her divorce from Saltykov, Irina did not change her last name. Her first studio album was released in 1995. In 1996, she won the Golden Gramophone award for the song “Gray Eyes”; in the same year she released her second album.
Despite the fact that after the release of the “Secret for a Million” program, most commentators on the Internet condemned Saltykova’s cheeky manner of communicating with her ex-husband and called her a “habalka,” the singer also did not remain silent on “The Fate of a Man.” This time she talked about Victor’s current wife, Irina, to whom the singer left her.
Russia 1We broke up with him then, I had a boyfriend, and Saltykov somehow felt it. And then one day he calls me at night and says that the apartment where he lived was robbed. He asked me to come. My boyfriend asks me: “Are you going to go? Why do you need that?" I say I'll go. He: “Well, everything is clear.” Well, in general, Saltykov and I made peace then. But I was harmful, I know. He already had this young lady, Ira. I made him call her and tell her that all this time he was with her for fun, and that he only really cared about me. And he called! So he loved it. Then he was coded, and for a year we lived luxuriously. And then he started drinking again, and the same thing started happening. I kicked him out again and finally said: “Call your Irka.” He called her on his birthday, November 22. And in early December she was already pregnant. And before that, she met with Nazarov, the director of the Forum group, an old, married man. And she was 18 or 17 years old. I call this "easy behavior." But Saltykov has a different version. But the time has come to shut him up, as long as you can listen to this nonsense.
The only marriage of the famous singer Irina Saltykova with the singer Viktor Saltykov became fatal in her fate. On the one hand, she owes her husband the surname under which she became famous, on the other, Irina says that Saltykov betrayed her twice. The first time was when he cheated, the second time was when he refused to take care of their common daughter Alice. Irina almost never talked about it, but after a difficult separation from her husband, she had to fight for her life, and then for her happiness. Irina Saltykova spoke about her fate in broadcast by Boris Korchevnikov .
“My insignificance idolizes you,” the future husband wrote to her after a few days of dating. They met in Sochi: Irina was vacationing there with a friend and bought tickets to a concert of a group unknown to her, Forum. She had one, but very provocative dress - with a deep neckline and bare back, red, and red shoes - it so happened - of different sizes. They were sitting in the gallery, but the musicians noticed them. Alexander Nazarov invited the girls to a restaurant where the group was performing in the evening, and said a prophetic phrase about Irina: “Vit, she fell in love with you.” Victor immediately made an appointment for the next day. Ira thought he was modest and well-mannered: “He bought me because he was very frank; you won’t talk to everyone about your mother or your childhood.” When leaving, I asked to be in touch and called immediately. And Ira realized that she was not just “another fan”...
Irina found out about her pregnancy at a late stage: in the USSR “there was no sex”; no one prepared young girls for adult life. Irina didn’t tell anyone, not even Victor, only one friend, who advised her to have a doctor to perform an “artificial birth” at her home. When in the morning on the appointed day Irina was already getting ready to leave, Saltykov guessed everything and did not let her go anywhere. “I’m not married,” Irina retorted. “Then we’ll get married,” said Victor.
The wedding took place a year and a half after they met. The celebration was fully paid for by the bride’s parents: “Saltykov only had a tape recorder.” They lived normally for a year. Alice was 9 months old when they had their first fight. Irina raised her daughter without nannies, without diapers, and without ready-made baby food - it took a lot of time to prepare it. And she also prepared breakfast, lunch and dinner for her husband. I was very tired. “And he came one day and said that he was tired of pasta as a side dish for cutlets. I burst into tears and threw the pasta on the floor. And he danced on it and went around the apartment to deliberately stir up dirt. That was our first scandal.”
They separated for the first time after five years. Irina herself asked her husband to leave - he had already started drinking a lot and even raised his hand to her. She called the police five times. Victor was taken away, then released, he was angry with his wife. On tour, he cheated on her, but she didn’t know about it then. One day Saltykov, as usual, showed up drunk in the morning, demanded that his wife talk to him, she refused, and he began to fight. Irina’s semi-paralyzed father (one of his arms and legs had failed), who was in the house, stood up and almost strangled his son-in-law. After this, Victor got scared and behaved decently for a while.
That time they spent three months apart. Victor called drunk and cried. Sober - no. Irina has a man. Victor felt this and began to ask to return. And then the apartment where he lived was robbed - all the equipment was taken away, including all three televisions, which he took with him from the family nest when leaving (“Aliska had to watch cartoons at the neighbors’ place”). He called at midnight and asked Irina to come. And she, to the surprise of her new friend, went. They made peace, although the singer knew that at that time Victor also had a “young lady” - he still lives with her. And then Irina forced her husband to call that friend in front of her and say that she was there to “pass time,” and that his wife was dear to him: “I’m so harmful.”
The condition for returning to the family was sobriety: “Viktor was coded, and for a year we lived luxuriously.” Then it all started all over again and lasted two years. “I invited him to return to Ira. He called her on November 22, and on December 2 she was already pregnant. The girl was a fan of the Forum group - before that, at the age of 17 or 18, she dated Nazarov, an old married man,” says Saltykova.
While the Saltykovs were together, Victor loved Alice very much. After the divorce, he could not come to terms with Irina’s popularity and her wealth (“This always worried him most”) and, unable to hurt her directly, did it through Alice. He came only for his daughter’s 20th birthday, and not alone, but with his new wife and their children. Irina herself suggested this - she wanted to improve their relationship with Alisa, but it didn’t work out.
Irina had a hard time with the divorce: she was raised in such a way that family comes first, a woman must endure, a child must have a father. Now she no longer thinks so, but then she exhausted herself - to the point of serious illness. At 28 she and Victor separated, and at 30 she was given a terrible diagnosis. The artist doesn’t like to talk about her oncology: “I wasn’t happy in my life after I was 19, when I left my parents, so I had no regrets. I was only worried about my parents and daughter. But I also hoped that they would be cured.” The daughter became the incentive to overcome the disease. “Alice is generally ‘to blame’ for all my successes,” Saltykova laughs.
On October 15, 1994, Irina kicked Victor out of the house, and on January 31, 1995, she recorded her deafening hit “Gray Eyes.” After the divorce, Irina did not have a serious relationship for six years - she found herself married to work. 20 thousand dollars for that video were given to her - as a loan - by a man who was “just a friend” at that time. Then they had a short affair, and then he demanded to repay the debt - ahead of schedule. Irina’s new friend helped “deal” with the old one - “in terms of concepts”. The first serious relationship - six years of civil marriage - was with a businessman, about whom the artist speaks only in superlatives. One “but” - he was married, his wife lived abroad. Out of respect for both, Irina still does not mention his name: “But now I know that good men exist, and we can hope.”
“We started a romance with Pashka. We were similar, we had fun together,” says Irina about her relationship with the hockey player Pavel Bure. “But the romance was short-lived: he lived in America, visited on visits.” Then a gigolo appeared in her life, to whom she gave six years. She lived for today and believes that she was to blame for everything. He turned out to be a drug addict, and she didn’t even know about this. Irina calls this “businessman” her biggest mistake.
Why doesn't Victor want to communicate with his eldest daughter? How does Alice feel about her father's absence in her life? Did Saltykov try to return to Irina? What does it say about the Saltykovs’ marriage? Alexey Glyzin? Why didn’t Irina’s romance with Pavel Bure work out? And how she kissed Bodrov Jr. V "Brother-2"? Answers to these and other questions are in the program "The Fate of Man".
During a conversation with TV presenter Lera Kudryavtseva, Viktor Saltykov had to talk about his relationship with his ex-wife Irina Saltykova. He remembered that they met on tour in Sochi.
Victor Saltykov: “I saw it and realized: “Wow, wow.” The certain effect it produced put me into a bit of a stupor.”
He proposed to his first wife, Irina Saltykova, when she was already pregnant. The artist openly said that she was going to have an abortion, but Victor dissuaded her from this decision.
Victor Saltykov: “After that we went and signed.”
They spent eight years together. But, according to him, only in the first year everything was fine. Saltykov believes that he simply was not ready for family life, like Irina.
Soon Irina Saltykova herself appeared in the studio. The meeting of the former spouses started coldly. The artist waved away her ex-husband, who was trying to hug her, with the words “Fuck you!” And then she began to accuse her ex-husband of constantly lying.
But the artist was able to forget about all the grievances for a short time. She spoke with warmth in her voice about meeting Victor. Then the conversation turned to the topic of their life together, and a skirmish immediately broke out between the former spouses. Irina herself claims that she was an ideal housewife, but her ex-husband did not agree with her. Discussing a financial issue in their family, they again did not agree. According to the artist, when they got married, Victor had nothing, and they celebrated the celebration itself at the expense of her parents. He began to earn decent money, as Ira said, only two years later.
Irina Saltykova: “He managed the money himself, he hid it and didn’t remember. But when my mother started cleaning, she found money behind the closet and under the carpet.”
As a result, Ira announced that “he was greedy for the family.” According to her, she did not receive expensive gifts. Despite all the complaints, the artist admitted that Victor supported her in difficult situations. As she admitted, at the beginning of their relationship there was indeed true love, but everything soon fell apart.
Irina Saltykova: “He is, of course, a weak person, he falls under the influence, he drank.”
Then Saltykova said that she kicked him out for the first time, demanding that he be coded for alcoholism, because Victor drank “from morning to evening.” They reconciled after Victor was robbed, and Irina came to him to support him. After that they spent another three years together. But problems began again due to Victor’s drunkenness, who more than once raised his hand to Irina. According to her, this was the main reason for the divorce.
In addition, Irina said that her husband cheated on her during her marriage. Saltykov himself honestly admitted that he was not faithful to her, but emphasized that he always tried to improve relations with his wife through conversations. Irina also admitted to cheating, but, according to her, she was driven by the desire to take revenge on her husband.
As a result, Victor and Irina attacked each other with accusations. The artist called his ex-wife a bitch, and she responded by recalling that he did not pay her alimony after the breakup.
Irina Saltykova: “You are a stupid idiot. You are either a goat or a ram. You’re talking rubbish.”
After this, the conversation turned to their daughter Alice. And the couple continued to argue.
Irina Saltykova:“You are not a man, you are worse. You’re not even a woman, although it looks very much like that.”
At the end, the main question worth a million awaited Viktor Saltykov. Did the artist decide to reveal his most terrible secret shared with Irina? The answer is in the release of the program "".
