Where is Evgeny Menshov buried? Angelina Vovk - about the deceased Evgeny Menshov: “Zhenya was never a ladies’ man”

In May 2015, after a long serious illness, the famous presenter of “Song of the Year” Evgeny Menshov died. He was only 67 years old. The TV star could not cope with cancer; he spent almost a year before his death in a Moscow hospice for cancer patients.

Three years later, the daughter of Evgeniy Alexandrovich’s close friend, actress Ekaterina Madalinskaya, spoke about his difficult relationship with his son, about how his second beloved wife Larisa left and how Menshov’s property was divided after his death. It turned out that he The only son Alexander and his third wife Olga Groznaya agreed peacefully. Moreover, Menshov Jr. got a one-room apartment in Moscow, and the artist’s widow got a large country house.

“When Evgeniy Aleksandrovich left, my mother, as a lawyer, wanted to help his son with the division of property. But Sasha said that nothing was needed, he and Olga agreed on it themselves. Like, she left him a one-room apartment in Moscow, and took the house for herself. Sasha immediately decided that he would not sue anyone; he acted very nobly,” said Ekaterina Madalinskaya.

Evgeny Menshov was married three times. He met his first wife Natalya Siliverstova at the Moscow Art Theater School. They lived together for 18 years, but the actor and TV presenter had no children in this marriage. Evgeniy Alexandrovich met his second wife, also an actress Larisa Borushko, in 1988. When he divorced his first, Menshov left everything ex-wife. The second marriage for the TV presenter could be the last. Menshov was truly happy with Borushko; she gave him his only son, Alexander. But his beloved wife was taken away by illness. On May 1, 2006, Larisa Borushko passed away, unable to overcome cancer.

The mother of actress Ekaterina Madalinskaya, Irina was best friend Larisa Borushko, she also became the godmother of her son Alexander. Now a friend of the Menshova family says that young Sasha took the death of his mother hard, and when he learned about his father’s departure, he reacted quite calmly.

“To be honest, after his father’s death he wasn’t very sad - it felt like his emotions were frozen. Or maybe Sasha had some kind of resentment. After all, he lost his mother, he needed the support and love of his father, but alas... Sasha had a very difficult time with her illness and care. But he is quite secretive by nature, just like dad. When Uncle Zhenya was sick, he didn’t talk about it at all. While Larisa was still alive, doctors discovered he had prostate cancer, but then he was able to fight back the disease. However, cancer still overtook him, and he died years later from bone cancer in a hospice,” said Menshov’s friend.

Ekaterina shared her observation of how Evgeniy Alexandrovich took care of his second wife when she was sick. She does not think that the presenter’s third wife, Olga Groznaya, did the right thing by placing her husband in a hospice. “You know, he (Menshov - Ed.)) loved Larisa very much, and when she was diagnosed with a tumor of the female organs, Menshov had no thought of putting his wife in a hospice. He did not leave her side and looked after her at home. True, Larisa’s mother helped, she came from Belarus. And then I ended up in a hospice. I do not undertake to condemn anyone, but still even the most best care living in someone else’s walls will not replace home and the love of loved ones, which sometimes prolongs life,” said the actress.

TV presenter Olga Groznaya became Menshov’s third wife; they lived together for 8 years. And if some of Evgeniy Alexandrovich’s acquaintances sincerely believed that she breathed into him new life, then others, and Ekaterina Madalinskaya is among them, are convinced: Olga alienated not only her friends from Menshov, but also her own son.

Alexander Menshov is a non-public person, and, as his father’s friend says, he rarely communicates even with old friends: “She (Olga the Terrible, - Ed.) loved her husband very much, but she alienated her son and friends from him - it’s true... He ( Alexander, - Ed.) became like a hermit. He had little contact with anyone at all, and kept to himself. As far as I know, he works as a dentist, got married a few years ago and became a father. For some reason, his wife doesn’t really want my mother and I to communicate with their family. They live very privately, so our communication is limited to rare correspondence on the Internet,” sobesednik.ru quotes Ekaterina.

There were many love twists and turns in the life of Evgeny Menshov. “With the actress Larisa Borushko, the second wife and mother of my only son, during 18 years of marriage we experienced a lot of adversity. I left my first wife Natalya Seliverstova, my classmate at the Moscow Art Theater School, for her. The student marriage lasted for the same 18 years, and only in 1988 did she appear in my life new love– Lara, with whom I played at the Gogol Theater. When I left Natasha, I left everything, and Larisa and I huddled in a tiny room in a communal apartment with no furniture. That's why slept on newspapers, spread on the creaking parquet floor. Moreover, at that time the whole country already knew me! Only then did our friends make us a separate apartment,” Evgeniy Menshov confided in journalists several years ago.

According to the artist, at some point his wife’s career took off. On the one hand, she was glad that she began to act in films often, and on the other hand, started the disease, which just a couple of years later became the cause of her death.

“It seemed to Larisa that when there is a lot of work, there is no need to be distracted by doctors. She was a very convincing, talented, organic actress with thoroughbred beauty. And suddenly a terrible diagnosis - “cervical cancer”. The doctors threw up their hands. This is the first stage of such an illness cured almost 100%, but everything was much worse for her. But we fought to the last. I sent tests to Israel, but from there they answered: “We would treat her the same way as in Russia.” But I hoped until the last miracle. Even when Larisa could no longer cope without drugs. Her wife, who died a week after her 43rd birthday, constantly prayed and asked: “Why me? After all, I’m still so young, I haven’t done anything bad to anyone.”. But she reassured herself that God takes the best. I remember that shortly before her death she went to the dacha. I come next and see my dear one with a stony face and pale, distant eyes. She was holding a cigarette in her hands, and when I asked how she was doing, she quietly whispered: “Zhenya, that’s it.” She passed away on May 1st. Since then, this day has ceased to be a holiday for me,” Express Newspaper quoted Evgenia Menshov as saying.

After the death of his beloved wife their son Alexander literally stopped talking. “Sasha was then graduating from school, passing exams. He entered Moscow State University. As I later found out, some teachers behaved tactlessly. Hearing that Sasha stuttered a little (after a clown scared him at the age of four by unexpectedly piercing a balloon), they mockingly asked: “How did you even get here?!" Everything fell on him... The guy closed himself off, quite by accident I discovered that he did not go to classes for months. Then, fortunately, everything turned out well. He studied at the Medical and Dental University. I bought him an apartment, where my son moved in with his girlfriend,” the actor said.

A year and a half after the death of his wife Larisa, Evgeny Menshov married for the third time - to Olga Grozny. It was she who breathed life into him: after an almost 30-year break, he returned to cinema - shone in the popular series by Alexey Pimanov "Alexandrovsky Garden". Moreover, he actively starred in all three seasons. However, few people knew that even then Menshov felt bad. The popular artist was struck down by cancer.

"Zhenya already had a dull look. Illness broke him. Current spouse Olga isolated all her friends from him from past life. In 2008, they didn’t invite me to their wedding, probably because I was friends with my previous wife Larisa. Zhenya was diagnosed when she was still alive,” said the actor’s permanent co-host Angelina Vovk.

Evgeny Menshov died after a long illness in a Moscow hospital on May 19. The theater and film actor was 68 years old. Together with Angelina Vovk, from 1988 to 2005, he hosted the “Song of the Year” program on television and starred in 24 films. Last years he was the head of the film company Isarius Film. In 2005, Menshov received the title of People's Artist of Russia and had the Order of Honor.

By birth, Evgeny Menshov is a native Nizhny Novgorod resident of the post-war generation. He was born on February 19, 1947, and spent most of his childhood in the village where his grandmother lived. From an early age, the boy took part in agricultural work, and proudly received payment in the form of bags of cereal. At the same time, Zhenya loved sports very much and outdoor games, was seriously involved in football and was even the goalkeeper of the Volga children's team. The reason for his betrayal of sports was his visit to a performance at the city Youth Theater, after which the boy became seriously interested in theater and even organized a school puppet theater. Right after High school prom Evgeniy took the documents to the Gorky Theater School. Having received his diploma, the young man decided to try his luck in getting an acting education in the capital, and successfully passed the entrance exams to the Moscow Art Theater School. His classmate was senior student Nikolai Karachentsov, with whom Evgeniy Menshov retained his friendship for the rest of his life. In 1971, after graduating from the Studio School, on the recommendation of the famous actor Stanitsyn, Menshov was accepted into the troupe of the capital's theater. Gogol. The young actor took part in the most famous theater productions and appeared on stage with such luminaries as Boris Chirkov. However, the actor’s salary was more than modest, and Evgeniy was intensively looking for ways to improve his financial situation.

In 1972, Menshov first appeared on screen in the cameo role of a tourist in famous movie“And the dawns here are quiet.” This was followed by a number of supporting characters in films such as “Clouds” (1973), “Everyday Business” (1976), “While the Mountains Stand” (1976), “Chief Designer” (1980) and others. A significant place in the filmography young actor They also played roles in television plays, in particular, in the television version of the popular youth play “Guys from Our Yard” (1973, Alexey) and Ioseliani’s famous play “Until the Cart Overturned” (1980, Bukhuti). Real audience recognition came to Evgeny Menshov after he performed leading role in the film "Melody for Two Voices" (1980), in which he played the role of Kirill Vorobyov. A touching story The relationship between a charming young mechanic and an intelligent student did not leave the hearts of the spectators indifferent, and Evgeniy Menshov began to receive numerous letters from fans. Perhaps it was the fame that came to the actor at this time that became the reason sudden change his creative destiny. Evgeny Menshov was invited to the program “Cinema Actors Sing,” and his discreet, intelligent appearance was remembered by television directors. Just at this time, a rotation of presenters was planned in the program “Song of the Year”. The undoubted contender was television prima Angelina Vovk. A modest dramatic actor was selected to pair with her, whose appearance would set off the brilliant Lina, and Evgeny Menshov was considered the most suitable candidate. However, the actor was in no hurry to agree - he was in demand in the theater. His cinematic career was also quite successful - Menshov annually starred in several films and television plays, including the highly rated series “State Border”.

Nevertheless, overcoming professional difficulties and the not always friendly attitude of his colleagues, Evgeny Menshov for eighteen years presented the audience with the brightest and most spectacular program of Soviet television, the rating of which was not much lower than the must-see news program “Time”. The format of this show was unusual: its participants and the songs they performed were selected in accordance with letters from viewers, then shown on monthly television episodes, and again the finalists were determined in accordance with incoming responses. The final program, which was a bright and unusual performance, was released on the first day of the New Year, thus becoming a traditional holiday attribute in many families. The performers went on triumphant concert tours, which were sold out not only in the cities of the USSR, but also in Germany, Israel, and in the best concert halls in New York and Los Angeles. “Song of the Year” was a stepping stone to fame for many iconic performers and composers, including Igor Talkov, Alexander Serov, and Igor Krutoy. The latter, to a certain extent, can be called the evil genius of the legendary show.

In 2004, after Krutoy left Channel One, the monthly releases of “Song of the Year” were discontinued, and the final concert was first performed on the Muz-TV channel. In fact, the program ceased to exist in the format of a national music festival and turned into another New Year's concert. The presenters were ordered to change their communication style, and improvisation was prohibited. In the end, in 2006 they were ordered to announce the next number without appearing on stage, after which Evgeny Menshov announced his retirement right during the shooting. A talented actor and popular TV presenter, National artist The Russian Federation did not remain unclaimed. He was the artistic director of the film company "Isarius", continued to act in television series, in particular, he earned favorable reviews for his performance as Kazarin in "Alexandrovsky Garden" (2005-2008), and the master of ceremonies in "The Sovereign's Servant" (2007). Few people knew that Evgeniy Alexandrovich was suffering from severe cancer. For ten years he fought a terrible disease. In 2006, his wife Larisa Borushko, who was only forty-three years old, died, and his only son Alexander lost the ability to speak from the shock he suffered. For the last eight years of his life, TV presenter Olga Groznaya was Evgeniy Menshov’s wife and supporter. Famous actor and TV presenter died on May 19, 2015 and is buried at Troekurovskoye Cemetery capital Cities.
