Larisa Guzeeva about the verbal faith. Friends of the verb faith about recent meetings and unspoken words
Last Friday, real legends of Russian cinema - Vera Glagoleva and Alexander Baluev - visited Voronezh. They came to our city with a pre-premiere screening of Glagoleva’s new film “Two Women” - an adaptation of Ivan Turgenev’s play “A Month in the Country”.
Vera Glagoleva, who has long abstracted herself from the acting profession, acted as the screenwriter, director and producer of this film. Vera Vitalievna assembled a truly international team of stars: Rakitin was brilliantly played by the famous British actor Ralph Fiennes, Natalya Petrovna was played by Anna Vartanyan, and Elizaveta Bogdanovna was played by Sylvie Testu. Vera Glagoleva's longtime friend and colleague Alexander Baluev got the role of Islaev.
Let us recall that the events of Turgenev’s drama take place in the middle of the 19th century in central Russia, on the estate of a landowner. Here a dramatic love story unfolds, in which several people are involved: a family friend falls in love with the wife of a rich landowner, and she herself is in love with a young student. In turn, the landowner’s pupil really likes this same student...
Vera Vitalievna did not impose “her” vision of Turgenev’s work, as is fashionable today. Without changing anything, she simply shortened the long dialogues, but the essence remained the same. Voronezh residents were able to watch Glagoleva’s new creation at the Luxor cinema. And shortly before this, journalists managed to communicate with famous actors.
Vera Vitalievna, why did you decide to invite Ralph Fiennes to play the role of Rakitin? Haven't found any good Russian actors?
Fiennes attracted me not only with his creativity, but also with his human qualities and inner aristocracy. When we talked to him for the first time, I immediately realized that it was Rakitin. And, believe me, this is not associated with any additional advertising. Indeed, there is no other like it, it won’t be said in front of Sasha! Alexander Baluev also wanted to play Rakitin, but I said that this role was already taken and offered him Islaev. He was capricious, saying that there was nothing to play there. When I invited Sasha to the office to pick up makeup, he came and said that he would not play. I had to persuade him, because Sasha is my talisman. He stars in all my films. We met a long time ago - we starred together in the film “Heiress”, in the TV series “Maroseyka, 12”... In general, there is something to remember. I know how Sasha feels about his work - he approaches everything very creatively. And I like it.
- Did Fiennes approach his work creatively?
Certainly! This is a man of transcendental skill, he has a different level of consciousness. He did such subtle things on set, got into the role so deeply... We were all mesmerized.
- Vera Vitalievna, did Fiennes somehow promote this film abroad?
I don’t know, it’s better to ask the producers. But the fact that our picture became special for him and occupied a special place in his creative biography is for sure. He flew to Moscow for the pre-premiere screening. For two days he rushed around with us like crazy on all TV channels, doing everything we asked!
The daughter was offended
- Your daughter Anna Nakhapetova played one of the roles in the film. Is it generally difficult to work with relatives?
The work is not difficult, but we have another problem. Unfortunately, Anya's role had to be greatly cut down - there was not enough time for the main characters. Anya already played a small role, but here she also had to sacrifice this. The daughter was offended.
-Have you somehow adapted the play to modern times?
It was a complex process that took almost two years. The play in the theater lasts almost four hours, it is verbose. It is simply impossible to transfer it to the screen. But Turgenev himself said: “Reduce, reduce ungodly!” He allowed this to be done. When Maria Savina was supposed to play a benefit role in St. Petersburg in 1973, he came to the theater to watch it. I was pleased and allowed the role to be reduced. From the moment it was written, this novel was not staged for 20 years - censorship prohibited it for moral and ethical reasons. The censorship advised making Natalya Petrovna a widow, removing Islaev... Of course, it was a pity to remove every phrase, but I understood that the picture needed air. There are also huge monologues from Natalya Petrovna - about her feelings and experiences. But the outline remains, the dialogues are just shortened. While changing, we didn’t add anything. Turgenev's text was preserved.
- How close do you think the film will be to audiences?
The play is known; it is performed in theaters in both Europe and Russia. In Moscow alone it was staged in four theaters!
- How can your movie appeal to young people?
Feelings, probably. The story of Verochka, who suffers, loves, is betrayed... In general, our picture is beautiful, it can entice with its beauty. Beauty will save the world after all.
Informal methods
Vera Vitalievna, they say you are a strict, even despotic director, there are all sorts of stories about you. Even my daughter talks about it...
Which? Anastasia, perhaps? On the set of the film “Ferris Wheel,” they couldn’t make my daughter Anastasia cry sincerely. She was 12 years old at the time and I had to resort to bad words. I bullied the girl so much that she still can’t forget it. But we managed to achieve the goal - there is a wonderful plan in the frame. Whether I am a strict director or not is not for me to judge. I always first try to convey to the actor what I need. If it doesn’t work out at all, you have to resort to informal methods.
When we were filming the final scene in the film “One War,” I needed the person to completely change before our eyes. The major who counted the women who gave birth to Germans should have realized that these were not enemies of the people. And in a second decide to let them go. For which, of course, he faces the death penalty, and he knows it. This look, when you need to decide - either you arrest people or let them go - we just couldn’t do it. And the light was leaving. We started preparing at 3-4 am, and at 5 there was a stunningly beautiful sunrise. A completely lilac sky - this doesn’t happen! But the poor girl, thanks to whom the major must make a fateful decision, did not succeed. She was tired, we woke her up early... In general, we had to shout at her very rudely. And at that moment, Misha Khmurov just had the necessary confusion in his eyes. It was brilliant!
- They say that you have made yourself an enemy in the person of Larisa Guzeeva...
Yes, this is another story that supports the legend of my severity. Larisa Guzeeva will also make it public everywhere, so I won’t reveal anyone’s secret. In 2005, we filmed the film “Order” with Natasha Vdovina and Alexander Baluev in the leading roles. Larisa played the main character's girlfriend, who gets married and goes to live in Europe forever. She cheers up, says that a new life will begin for her... And - emptiness! Empty, unnecessary frame. I say: “Larissa, this is empty! I don’t just need words that you’re leaving, just tears. I need these emotions to be inside you!” It didn’t work... Then I had to shout at her very rudely. Not obscenely, of course, but quite harshly. I screamed: “How can you work like this? You are untalented! I really offended her then. But after that she just played brilliantly! I remember how Lariska stood and could barely restrain herself not to cry... Then, of course, I asked her for forgiveness in front of the whole group.
- Why aren’t you filming yourself now?
I'm not interested. Maybe there will be a director who will offer such amazing work that I won’t be able to refuse. I recently read a script designed for two women over the age of 50. The heroines’ adult sons die, and there is some kind of confrontation going on... The script is brilliant - the roles are so wonderfully written. But this is the only good script for actresses my age that I have read over the past 5-10 years. Usually the main roles go to young people, and we are invited to play secondary ones - mothers, grandmothers... This does not bother me.
- After reading the wonderful script, did you agree to filming?
I read this script in the Expert Council, where I am a member - it was intended to support Goskino. I didn’t tell anyone that I would play one of the roles. This is the level of good Hollywood films. I’m not talking about “popcorn” cinema now, but about quality cinema. Like, for example, “August” with Meryl Streep - a grandiose film, grandiose roles. If I were offered a script of this level, I would gladly agree.

Today the public was shocked by the news - the famous actress and director Vera Glagoleva passed away. She died in a German clinic. Now the relatives are taking care of bringing the body home.
The guests in the studio did not deny that Vera Glagoleva was struggling with cancer. According to a colleague, cancer began to develop after a heavy blow of fate. She believed that the actress was having a hard time with her divorce from her first husband Rodion Nakhapetov. However, she raised her two daughters, Anna and Maria, to respect their father. Larisa Guzeeva got in touch. She was amazed at the speculation about the causes of the disease. The presenter of Channel One believes that there is nothing wrong with breakups - after all, after a while, Glagoleva met a wonderful man, Kirill Shubsky, who loved her and supported her in everything.
“I don’t even know what can be said now and what is needed. She was absolutely happy; she married off her daughter. Now everything is attributed to stress - we all converged and diverged. She was loved and loving, and Kirill helped her in everything. And Vera shot magnificent pictures, but she was not fragile, like her screen image. She was strong, powerful, kind, open, curious (..) Of course, her loved ones knew about the disease. Vera did not want to torment anyone, there was never any talk that she was sick. Everyone thought that everything would pass, everything passed, you know?” - Guzeeva said through tears.
Larisa Guzeeva believes that the actress did not want to bother her family, and therefore did not talk about the illness.
Also, the host of the program, Dmitry Borisov, decided to show an excerpt from an old recording of the program, where Vera Glagoleva talks about her favorite places in Moscow. She recalled feeding pigeons with her brother.
Vyacheslav Manucharov from Barcelona came into direct contact with the Let Them Talk studio. It was he who was the host at the wedding of his youngest daughter Nastasya Shubskaya and Alexander Ovechkin. He admitted that no one could have imagined the actress’s illness.
“It’s like a bolt from the blue. Nobody could have thought. At Nastya's wedding they danced until five in the morning. No illness, no bad condition. I have known Vera, Kirill and the whole family for many years. This long-awaited wedding lasted two days. At the first and second there were tears of joy for my daughter. I talk about this, I can’t help but smile, it’s a piece of light and energy,” said Manucharov.
The actors with whom Glagoleva worked could not believe it when they learned six months ago that she had been diagnosed with cancer.
“One friend said she had cancer. I receive a message from Aiturgan, with whom we played together in Snipers. She wrote that Vera was very bad. It was May 21st. I couldn't believe it, she was going to paint a new painting. Vera was in excellent condition and mood,” said Glagoleva’s colleague.
Singer Katya Lel attended the wedding of Shubskaya and Ovechkin. She said that Glagoleva’s eldest daughter Anna cried a lot at the celebration. Now it seems to her that she knew about her mother’s illness, and therefore, perhaps, had a presentiment of the tragedy.
“Let Them Talk” showed an excerpt from Andrei Malakhov’s “Tonight” program. There, Vera Glagoleva recalled how she met her first husband, Rodion Nakhapetov. The director drew attention to the girl who came to the shooting. The man asked her to read the text in front of the camera. After that, he told everyone that he had found the main character.
Rodion admitted that he felt responsible for Vera Glagoleva’s career, since in order to film the first film “To the End of the World” she had to give up archery competitions.
At the end of the program, Dmitry Borisov invited the entire studio to honor the memory of Vera Glagoleva.
“We will remember her as she was at the wedding of her daughter Nastasya and Alexander - beautiful, cheerful and happy,” the TV presenter concluded.
Vera said the following: “I met Vera Glagoleva at the end of July at one of the parties at the Moscow Film Festival. Vera smiled and was in a good mood. She said she felt great. When a person is very sick, when he feels bad, he does not go to parties, does not wear a white dress.
And she was all so bright and looked absolutely healthy. What could have happened in this Baden-Baden clinic? Was it a doctor’s mistake or the medicine didn’t work?”
The actress also notes the fact that Vera Glagoleva arrived at the clinic in a great mood with her husband and daughter. She entered there with a smile on her face, and a few hours later the news of her sudden death arrived. Nothing, according to the actress, foreshadowed trouble; what could have happened behind the walls of this institution?
Larisa Guzeeva, who was her close friend, shared her memories of Vera Glagoleva. “Vera was a little girl, she could say how much she loved pancakes, eat half a pancake in the evening and say: oh, how I ate! I was jealous of her figure,” she admitted.
Pavel Koposov, an oncologist at the Central Clinical Hospital of the Russian Academy of Sciences, admits that the cause of the actress’s unexpected death was not cancer. He notes that people don’t die from cancer so quickly - the director came to the clinic in Baden on her own two feet, but he’s not inclined to blame his German colleagues either.
In his opinion, Glagoleva’s death was most likely the result of hard work and associated nervous exhaustion. Against the background of cancer, she developed concomitant “sores”, and her weakened body could no longer cope with them, it simply did not have enough strength, he told Moskovsky Komsomolets.
It is impossible to believe that the happy woman dancing fervently at the wedding of her daughter Anastasia Shubskaya and hockey player Alexander Ovechkin is terminally ill... but even here, Vera Glagoleva’s friends remembered some details. As the publication Dni.ru writes, back in July Vera danced at the wedding of her daughter Nastasya Shubskaya.
It is noteworthy that, according to family friends, at the celebration the actress’s eldest daughter, ballerina Anna Nakhapetova, looked very sad. Moreover, at some point Anna burst into tears. However, then everyone decided that it was from an excess of feelings.
Suppressing all kinds of rumors and speculation about the reasons for the death of his beloved wife, Kirill Shubsky said that they should be determined exclusively by medical workers.
People's Artist of Russia Vera Glagoleva died at the age of 62, the artist's friend, actress Larisa Guzeeva, told RIA Novosti.
“Yes, she died,” Guzeeva said. The agency does not yet have information about the cause of the actress’s death.
Glagoleva was born in 1956 in Moscow, and made her first film appearance after graduating from school in the film “To the End of the World” by director Rodion Nakhapetov. The film received a prize at the Ljubljana Film Festival.
Soon Glagoleva married Nakhapetov and starred in several more of her husband’s films: “Enemies”, “Don’t Shoot White Swans”, “About You”, “Coming Next”, “Umbrella for the Bridal”.

The actress also starred with other directors. For the main role in the film “Marry the Captain” (1985), Vitaly Melnikova Glagoleva received the title of “Best Actress of 1986” according to the results of a survey by the magazine “Soviet Screen”.
Glagoleva continued to actively act in the future and was involved in theatrical projects.
In 1990, Glagoleva made her directorial debut with the film “Broken Light,” where she played the main role. Then she shot the films “Order” and “Ferris Wheel”. Glagoleva’s fourth directorial work, the drama “One War,” won more than a dozen film awards even before its release.
Glagoleva’s last film was the film “Two Women” based on the play by Ivan Turgenev, filmed in 2014.
In 2011, Glagoleva was awarded the title of People's Artist of Russia.
Vera Glagoleva's first husband Rodion Nakhapetov told how he lives in America now
In the Channel One documentary “Russian in the City of Angels,” the 75-year-old actor and director revealed unknown facts from his life.
Channel: First channel.
Director: Roman Maslov.
Starring in the film: Rodion Nakhapetov, Anna Nakhapetova, Maria Nakhapetova, Katya Gray, Natalya Shlyapnikoff, Polina Nakhapetova, Kirill Nakhapetov, Nikita Mikhalkov, Elyor Ishmukhamedov, Andrey Smolyakov, Gary Busey, Eric Roberts, Odelsha Agishev, Vera Glagoleva.
Rodion Nakhapetov is the idol of millions of Soviet viewers. The female half of the country was crazy about him. But the famous artist suddenly disappeared from Russian screens for many years. And so, after a long pause, in the fall of 2015, he unexpectedly appeared in the Channel One series “Spider” in the role of a merciless killer. Nakhapetov created this absolutely atypical image brilliantly. On the occasion of the actor’s 75th birthday, Channel One made a documentary about him “ Russian in the city of angels", where Rodion Rafailovich himself told why in the late 80s he so unexpectedly left his job in his homeland, his wife, the famous actress Vera Glagoleva, and two daughters. In addition, the artist admitted what tragic events of his life he hid for many years even from his friends, how he lives in America today and what connects him with Russia.
Rodion Nakhapetov
At the end of the 80s, a film jointly produced by the USSR and the GDR was released on USSR screens - “ At the end of the night" A military drama about the fate of a Soviet sailor and his lover, a German countess, during the Second World War. The director of the film was Rodion Nakhapetov. The film's cast was truly stellar: Innokenty Smoktunovsky, Donatas Banionis, Nina Ruslanova, Alexey Zharkov... But film critics immediately reacted with hostility to the film. However, Nakhapetov was upset not so much by the reaction of critics as by the indifference of the audience.
Unexpectedly, the rights to his film, which was called a “failure” in his homeland, are bought by the Hollywood giant, the film company 20th Century Fox. Nakhapetov immediately went to the United States at the invitation of film business magnates. A year later, it became clear that the artist would stay in America for a long time. There was talk in society about how he was able to leave his beloved wife Vera Glagoleva, who played in almost all of her husband’s films, and his adored daughters - Anya And I wave. But neither Rodion nor Vera ever told what really destroyed their family life. In the Channel One film, Nakhapetov explained for the first time why he decided to change his destiny so dramatically.

Rodion also spoke about little-known episodes of his personal and creative life: how he almost died on the set of the film “ Lovers", which brought him all-Union fame, and why he changed his profession as an actor to a director. In addition, Nakhapetov recalled the incredible story of his birth.
His mother is a 22-year-old liaison officer for a partisan detachment. Galina Prokopenko, was captured by the Nazis during a combat mission. She survived the concentration camp, escaped from there and took refuge in the ruins of a house at Pyatikhatka station. In this shelter, on January 21, 1944, under a terrible German bombing, she gave birth to a son, the child of a wartime romance - there were many of them then. In the partisan forests of the Dnieper region, love briefly broke out between Ukrainian Galya Prokopenko and an Armenian Rafail Nakhapetov. Mom told Rodion that his father died in battle. And only when her son turned 10 did she tell the truth: after the victory, Rafail Nakhapetov returned to Armenia, where he already had a family.
Rodion Nakhapetov
Nakhapetov’s friends and colleagues are sure: this taciturn, stubborn guy from a young age achieved everything on his own. In the 60-70s, Nakhapetov was considered one of the most sought-after artists in the country. His popularity in the Soviet Union was incredible: after the release of each film starring the charming handsome man, kilometer-long queues lined up outside the cinemas. Rodion starred in two or three films annually, and in the early 70s Nakhapetov decided to make films himself. His first films won prizes at all-Union and international film festivals. And one picture became a turning point in his personal destiny.
In 1974, school graduate Vera Glagoleva came to Mosfilm at the invitation of a friend who worked there. On this day, a private screening of a foreign film was held at the film studio. Before the session, the girls looked into the buffet, where the future actress was noticed by Rodion. He immediately offered Vera the main role in his new film “To the End of the World.” She refused for a long time, but Rodion finally persuaded her. Very soon Glagoleva married Nakhapetov, and the creative union also became a family one.
Vera Glagoleva and Rodion Nakhapetov
The relationship in their family seemed ideal. When Nakhapetov went to America in the late 80s to negotiate with an American film studio, he said that it would not be for long. It turned out - forever. Vera Glagoleva was left alone with two daughters. In Los Angeles, Nakhapetov began a different life and a different love. He met an American woman of Russian origin, a film producer Natalia Shlyapnikova. In the Channel One film, the actor told how difficult his relationship with his daughters was. And Maria and Anna Nakhapetov, for their part, explained why they nevertheless accepted their father’s new family, and now consider Natalya and sister Katya relatives.
Rodion Nakhapetov is convinced that for Russian viewers he is still a favorite actor and director. The artist increasingly comes to Russia to work and meets with his daughters and grandchildren. But in the summer of 2017, Nakhapetov flew to Moscow with a heavy heart. Then Vera Glagoleva passed away. Nakhapetov did not say whether he asked for forgiveness from his first wife, what he was thinking about and what feelings he was experiencing at this tragic moment. The artist is always true to himself and never did anything for show. Life had long ago taught him to endure the most difficult losses, not to complain about fate, and to always move forward.

A year without Vera Glagoleva. Andrey Malakhov. Live broadcast. Broadcast 08/20/18
A year ago, actress Vera Glagoleva spoke warm words at the wedding of her daughter Anastasia Shubskaya and hockey player Alexander Ovechkin. We have been living without Faith for a year. A year later, she could rejoice at the news that she had become a grandmother and Nastya gave birth. Today on “Live” her family will gather to remember the talented and beloved actress.
She was joyful and smiling: Vera Glagoleva came to Rodion Nakhapetov in a dream
A year has passed since the actress beloved by millions, the sunny and touching Vera Glagoleva, passed away. Only those closest to her knew how the actress struggled with a serious illness. She always smiled in public - and everyone remembered her that way.
Vera Glagoleva's film partners and, of course, her friends and family came to the Live Broadcast studio.
Sergei Filin, with whom the actress was friends, also contacted the studio remotely. He said that when a few years ago a misfortune happened to him - he was doused with acid, it was Vera Glagoleva who was the first to arrive at the hospital.
Filin admits that for him she was an example of a woman in front of whom you want to feel like a man, and with her he simply had no chance to “step back.”
Andrei Malakhov included in the program fragments of an interview with Glagoleva, in which she discusses, in particular, the relationship between a man and a woman and the main thing in them - the desire to be together.
“If a person does not appreciate every minute with his loved one, then this is already a crack in love. You’re already doubting whether you need to drag this out,” the actress and director said shortly before leaving.
It was impossible not to remember in this program the wedding of one of Vera Glagoleva’s daughters, Anastasia Shubskaya, with hockey player Alexander Ovechkin. In those shots, the mother of the bride gives parting words to the young family, everyone is happy, and no one yet thinks that Vera Glagoleva will soon pass away.
Another daughter of the actress, Anna Nakhapetova, who came to the studio, says that there were no premonitions then, and no one thought about such an outcome.
However, she admits that these shots from the wedding look different now, and since the death of her mother, Anna has not even looked at them.
Vera Glagoleva’s ex-husband, the famous actor and director Rodion Nakhapetov, also came to the studio. This couple seemed ideal to many, but fate separated them.
In the studio of the program, Nakhapetov admits: despite this, he never forgot about Vera. “Her departure is the hardest loss of love for me,” admits Rodion Nakhapetov.
When asked what day in their life together Nakhapetov would like to return to, he recalled how Vera once gave him a brown scarf knitted with her own hands, and he cherishes this touching memory in his soul.
When asked by Andrei Malakhov if he was dreaming about Vera, he admitted that he saw her about a month ago. Nakhapetov said that in that dream Vera was joyful and smiling, she radiated positivity and the feeling that “everything was fine” with her.
Memories of the actress from people who knew her closely, and confessions of how they lived this year without Vera Glagoleva, in the program “Andrei Malakhov. Live" on the TV channel "Russia 1".

Fyodor Bondarchuk and Alexander Rodnyansky took the stage to present the award.
The prize is called “To the actress and director who taught us to strive for a dream.” Vera was a proud and beautiful person. Vera always dreamed of making “A Month in the Country,” and as a result, she made it come true. This award is not a memorial or ritual award; unfortunately, we did not have time to do this during Vera’s lifetime
Alexander Rodnyansky, producer.
The award was received by Vera Glagoleva’s eldest daughter, ballerina and actress Anna Nakhapetova. She thanked the guests of the film festival for their “incredible love for my mother.”
Let us remind you that Vera Glagoleva died on August 16 last year after a long illness. The actress performed roles in almost 50 film and television films. Vera Glagoleva's directorial debut was the psychological melodrama Broken Light.
Details of Vera Glagoleva’s fatal illness have been revealed
Journalists talked to Vera Glagoleva's friend, producer Natalya Ivanova, with whom she was not only friends, but also collaborated. The woman revealed the details of the artist’s terminal illness.
Vera Glagoleva met Natalya Ivanova in 2004. Thanks to their collaboration, three films “Order”, “One War”, “Two Women” were released. “She was an honest and pure person. Of course, everyone in life has to drink their own bitter cup, but she has not lost some inner tuning fork, has not bent under the burden of life’s difficulties. Her inner light was not broken. Vera was a conservative throughout her life - in the good sense of the word, which helped her maintain moral purity. She was truly a harmonious, whole person. Everything is according to Chekhov: clothes, soul, thoughts…” said Ivanova.
Meanwhile, Alexander Buinov believes that Glagoleva herself did not want to spread information about the disease and forbade others to do so.
The sudden death of Russian actress Vera Glagoleva from cancer turned out to be an “absolute shock” both for fans of the celebrity’s work and for her colleagues and friends. As it turned out, Vera’s family hid her fatal diagnosis from everyone.
Thus, Marina Yakovleva said that when she learned about Glagoleva’s illness, she immediately contacted her family. However, according to her, the TV personality’s daughter said that everything was fine with them. Then, at the wedding of Glagoleva’s daughter, Yakovleva saw Vera dancing, so she calmed down.
“I called Vera’s daughter, she said that everything was fine with them. And suddenly Nastenka’s wedding. We were just filming with Slava Manucharov, he told me that he was the host at the wedding and Vera danced beautifully there. Well, that’s it, I finally calmed down and was happy for her family! And then there’s such a shock!” - said Yakovleva.
Theater and film actress Inna Churikova also admitted ignorance of Glagoleva’s health condition.
“My husband loved her very much and was with her all these painful years for her! And we didn’t suspect anything! Her death is like an explosion! Absolute shock! - says the actress.
In turn, singer Alexander Buinov believes that Glagoleva herself did not want to spread information about the disease and forbade others to do so.
“She never burdened us with her ailments, she always smiled,” says the artist. - Constantly participated in acting games and practical jokes. In my memory she will remain very cheerful and easy-going.”
Previously, TopNews wrote that actress Vera Glagoleva died on August 16. She struggled with cancer for several years.
Vera Glagoleva was buried at Troekurovskoye Cemetery
People's Artist of the Russian Federation Vera Glagoleva was buried on Saturday at the Troekurovskoye cemetery. By the will of the family, only the closest ones took part in the last funeral ceremony.
The farewell ceremony for the actress and director, who died at the age of 62, was held at the Moscow House of Cinema.
Thank you, my dear Vera: colleagues say goodbye to actress Glagoleva
“I cherish in my heart the memories of our work together. Thank you, my dear Vera, for the inspiration and joy you gave me,” wrote Ralph Fiennes.
A farewell ceremony is being held at the Moscow House of Cinema for actress Vera Glagoleva, who died at the age of 62 after a long illness. Her family, friends and colleagues came to say goodbye to the artist.
The famous Russian director Alexei Uchitel at the farewell ceremony for Vera Glagoleva said that he had never met a more amazing person who combined external and internal beauty.
“I don’t know about you, but I haven’t seen a more amazing combination of a person, beautiful externally and internally, for a long time. And I can imagine how hard it is for family and friends now,” said Uchitel.
Actor Valery Garkalin noted that Glagoleva had real knowledge of the acting profession and human life.
“I would like to say that Verina’s creative biography, in my opinion, is an example of the most serious understanding of our profession... Vera is an asterisk, a star, now unquenchable, for all time,” he added.
British actor and director Ralph Fiennes, who starred with Glagoleva in the film “Two Women,” was unable to come to her funeral, but sent a letter read at the ceremony. Fiennes admitted that he could not believe the death of Vera Glagoleva.
“I cherish in my heart the memories of our work together. Thank you, my dear Vera, for the inspiration and joy that you gave me,” he wrote.
Russian actor Alexander Baluev, during his farewell to the actress, said that Glagoleva called him her talisman.
“I was offended by this word, but now I’m proud that I had the good fortune to work with her, argue, and find common solutions. Just recently we discussed plans, we wanted to go with the film “Two Women” to a festival in Spain,” he emphasized.
The cause of death of the Honored Artist of Russia could be stomach cancer
The exact cause of death of the public's favorite actress and director Vera Glagoleva is unknown; only the celebrity's husband, businessman Kirill Shubsky, lifted the veil of secrecy - the artist died after a long battle with cancer. On Friday, the actress’s body was supposed to be flown to Moscow on a private plane.
“MK” became aware of some details: Vera Vitalievna visited one of the clinics in Baden-Baden, and a few hours later she suddenly died.
There are practically no clinics for oncology patients in the Baden-Baden district, and the nearest centers are in Freiburg and Munich. However, in a forested area in the suburbs of Baden-Baden, the Schwarzwald-Baar Clinic is located, operating at the University of Freiburg. The institution specializes in the treatment of internal organs; cancers in the abdominal cavity are also their specialization. It is possible that it was in this clinic that Glagoleva began treatment. Russian companies acting as intermediaries in arranging treatment told an MK correspondent that the average cost of diagnosis and primary treatment at the Schwarzwald-Baar clinic varies from 6 thousand to 50 thousand euros, depending on the stage of the disease.
The artist’s relatives are currently in Germany and are preparing all the necessary documents for transporting the body to Russia. According to Kirill Shubsky, his wife’s body will be transported on Thursday or Friday. The issue of logistics always turns out to be the most difficult and time-consuming, and especially if the person died abroad. “MK” talked to the staff of funeral agencies to find out what difficulties the actress’s relatives will have to face.
“Even to transport a body from Russia, you need to have a large number of documents on hand before sending the body across the border. In a bureaucratic country like Germany, even more so,” says an employee of one of the Moscow funeral homes. “First of all, it will be necessary to conduct an autopsy so that doctors can confirm death due to the disease. This document will have to be signed by law enforcement agencies, stating that they have no questions about the death of a citizen, even from another country.”
After this procedure, the main question is resolved: how to transport? In the case of Germany, there are two options - an airplane or a car. The funeral agency noted that in 90 percent of cases, relatives choose the second option. This is primarily due to the serious difference in price. On average in Moscow, they charge from 2.5 to 4 thousand euros for just one transportation from Germany. Transporting a body by plane is much more expensive - from 6 thousand euros. In addition, to this we must add the employee’s services, as well as his travel allowances and flight tickets. Another difference between the two methods is time. By car, transporting the body will take about three days, and by air no more than three hours, but there is practically no significant difference in the transportation itself.
Several burial places have been prepared at the Troekurovskoye cemetery.
“In both cases, the body of the deceased is placed in a special zinc container called a Euromodule. For additional safety of the body, it is not only treated with formaldehyde, but also covered on all sides with special formaldehyde pads. Such security measures guarantee the safety of the body for several days,” said the interlocutor at the funeral home.
Farewell to the actress will take place on August 19 in the Great Hall of the House of Cinema. Vera Glagoleva will be buried in Moscow at the Troekurovskoye cemetery.
Yesterday we visited the actors' alley, where several burial places have already been prepared. There are indeed many celebrities buried here, and not just stage stars. The grave of cosmonaut Georgy Grechko is buried in flowers. But around the graves of Vyacheslav the Innocent and Vitaly Wulf, weeds are breaking out of the ground. “In fact, we don’t have any abandoned graves. They visit everyone - relatives, friends, and admirers,” explained an employee of the churchyard.
“Peacemaker” mocked the death of Vera Glagoleva
Representatives of the notorious Ukrainian website “Peacemaker” commented in a mocking manner on the death of Russian actress Vera Glagoleva.
“You still don’t believe that supporting Russian aggression and ending up in Purgatory is the first step towards a difficult and painful death? Don't you have enough examples? Ask Zadornov and Kobzon,” they wrote on Facebook.
According to Ukrainian nationalists, the serious illness of the Russian artist is due to the fact that she supported “Russian aggression against Ukraine” and “violated” the state border, RIA Novosti reports.
The Myrotvorets website is known for publishing personal data of those who are supposedly “enemies of Ukraine.” Vera Glagoleva was added to his database in 2016 after participating in the Crimean festival “Bosporan Agony”.
The date and place of Vera Glagoleva’s funeral have become known

From the category of people who have no enemies,” Ivanova admitted to Komsomolskaya Pravda.

And we are already planning the next project, the script for which we have almost written - a film about the love of Turgenev and Pauline Viardot. Absolutely a work environment,” said the producer.

“I know that a few days ago Vera and her family went to Germany for a consultation. She had consulted at various clinics there before. But she didn’t like to talk about her illnesses. She was not sick at all. And suddenly this happened,” she added.

The publication’s interlocutor clarified that “in a bureaucratic country like Germany” it is necessary to collect a lot of documents to transport a body across the border.

How Vera Glagoleva hid a terrible illness
The death of Vera Glagoleva was a merciless blow not only for the family and friends of the actress, but also for fans. The Russian cinema star hid her cancer for a long time.
In the early spring of 2017, the media sounded the alarm: Vera Glagoleva was terminally ill. They wrote about emergency hospitalization, intensive care, and regular blood transfusions, but the star remained silent, and her relatives categorically denied the presence of health problems.
Dni.Ru also tried to achieve the truth, but Glagoleva just waved it off: “I don’t know anything about this at all. Luckily, I feel great."
In one of the interviews, the actress spoke very harshly about the fact that these rumors are based on the media’s desire to increase ratings. “For some reason, until today, no one cared that I was making films. Just grab some fictitious sensation! Disgusting! – Glagoleva was indignant.
Vera Vitalievna did not deny that she went to the clinic, but only in order to gain strength after filming, which sometimes lasted 14 hours: “I was filming in the city of Aleksin, Tula region, and on my day off I came to Moscow for one day to get IVs to regain strength. We were making a movie, a feature film. It was supposed to be completed in two weeks. The main thing is that they report: “She was in intensive care, and the doctors sent her home.” I immediately went to filming, on the 4th I was already on set, where I worked for 1.5 weeks! Well, what is this? – the Komsomolskaya Pravda website quotes the artist.

Zodiac sign: Aquarius
Eastern horoscope: Monkey
Occupation: actress
Vera Vitalievna Glagoleva is a Soviet and Russian actress, remembered by millions of viewers for the films “Don’t Shoot the White Swans”, “Torpedo Bombers”, “Marry the Captain”, “Sincerely Yours”, “Waiting Room”, “Maroseyka, 12” and many others to others.
Childhood
Vera was born on January 31, 1956 in a family of Moscow teachers. Father, Vitaly Glagolev, taught physics and biology at school, mother, Galina Glagoleva, was a teacher in the lower grades. The family's son Boris was already growing up. The family lived in the Patriarch's Ponds area, on Alexei Tolstoy Street. When the girl turned 6, the Glagolevs received a new apartment in Izmailovo. For the next 4 years, Vera lived and studied in the GDR, then returned to Moscow.
As a child, Glagoleva was seriously involved in archery; subsequently received the title of master of sports and joined the Moscow junior team. She never thought about an acting career; her film debut took place completely by accident.
First roles
In 1974, having barely graduated from school, she and her friend came to the Mosfilm studio, where she, a girl with huge eyes and delicate features, was noticed in the buffet by the assistant director of the film “To the End of the World.” The director of the film was Rodin Nakhapetov, Vera’s future husband. She was offered to try to play a scene with the leading actor Vadim Mikheenko. Having no acting education behind her or even classes in a school drama club, she played as organically as possible young Sima, traveling along the railroad tracks with her distant relative Volodya.
The secret of the young actress, who charmed the audience at first sight, was simple - she had not just an amazingly cinematic appearance, but also a unique acting type: a fragile girl who has hidden strength and integrity, brittle plasticity, and the accuracy of a “psychological gesture.”
The next success is the teacher Nonna Yuryevna in the drama “Don’t Shoot White Swans”, Zhenka from “Starfall”, the singing girl from “About You”, Shura from “Torpedo Bombers”. All her heroines had one thing in common - they were, as they say, out of this world, mysterious and poetic.

Career blossoming
Glagoleva’s popularity came in 1983, after filming Vitaly Melnikov’s melodrama “Marry the Captain,” where she played the emancipated and feminine journalist Lena.
The most interesting thing is that this role went to Vera Glagoleva completely by accident. At first, the film was shot by one director, and they shot a completely different story - about a border guard officer who is looking for a wife, choosing from a teacher, a milkmaid and a photojournalist. However, filming was stopped. After Melnikov and screenwriter Valery Chernykh rewrote the script, only one woman remained - Lena. According to a survey by the magazine "Soviet Screen", Vera Glagoleva was recognized as the best actress of 1986 for her role in the film "Marry the Captain".
Since the late 90s, Vera Glagoleva has starred mainly in the TV series: “Waiting Room”, “Maroseyka, 12”, “Heiress”, “Island Without Love”, “Wedding Ring”, “A Woman Wants to Know...”. In 1997, she played the mother of the main character in the drama “Poor Sasha” and, in 2000, the main role in the film “It is not recommended to offend women.”
In 1996, Glagoleva received the title of Honored Artist, and in 2011 she was recognized as a People's Artist of the Russian Federation.
Director's experience
In 1990, Vera Glagoleva decided to try herself as a director. Her debut was the psychological melodrama “Broken Light,” which told viewers about the dramatic fates of unemployed actors at the turn of a new era. Glagoleva herself also starred in this film in the central role of Olga. Due to the fault of the producers, this professional film did not get a wide release, and it was presented to viewers only 11 years later.
In 2005, Vera Glagoleva returned to the director’s chair, presenting to the public the drama “Order” with Alexander Baluev. In 2007, Glagoleva filmed the melodrama “Ferris Wheel,” in which Alena Babenko was invited to play the main role. In 2010, Glagoleva’s new film “One War” about the fate of women during the Great Patriotic War was released. Glagoleva called this film her most serious directorial work.
Personal life of Vera Glagoleva
Glagoleva met director Rodion Nakhapetov, who is 12 years older than her, on the set of her first film “To the End of the World” in 1974. She had already seen him in the films “Lovers” and “Tenderness”, and was a little in love with him. A year later, Vera Glagoleva married Nakhapetov. He began filming her in all his films: “Enemies”, “Don’t Shoot White Swans”, “About You” and others. In her marriage to Nakhapetov, Vera gave birth to two daughters - Anna and Maria.
By the beginning of the 80s, Vera Glagoleva was already the mother of two children. In order to continue acting, she had to leave the girls to her mother. And sometimes Glagoleva had to take her mother and two daughters to filming. The eldest daughter Anna is now a ballerina of the Bolshoi Theater. As a child, she starred with Glagoleva in the film “Sunday Dad.” She also starred in the films “Upside Down,” “Russians in the City of Angels,” and “The Secret of Swan Lake.” In 2006, Anna married Yegor Simachev, the son of Bolshoi Theater ballet soloists Nikolai Simachev and Tatyana Krasina. In December 2006, Anna gave birth to a daughter and Vera Glagoleva became a grandmother. The youngest daughter of Glagoleva and Nakhapetov, Maria, married a businessman and went to live in America. There she graduated from school with a degree in computer graphics. In 2007 she gave birth to a son.
In 1987, Nakhapetov filmed the film “At the End of the Night,” but he did not cast his wife in the main role, but actress Nele Klimene. This picture broke their marriage. In 1989, their marriage broke up after 14 years of marriage. Rodion left for America, Vera and the children remained in Russia.
Mini interview
In the early 90s, Vera Glagoleva again married shipbuilder businessman Kirill Shubsky. They met in 1991 at the Golden Duke film festival. Two years later, Vera gave birth to Kirill’s daughter Nastya. Glagoleva gave birth to a girl in Switzerland, in Geneva, where the family lived for a whole year.
