The actress's departure came as a complete surprise even to those who knew about her illness. “When she went to Germany for the next course of treatment, there were no bad premonitions. She went to see her doctor, with whom she had been treated for a long time. We talked to her on the phone the day before. Everything was fine...” admitted Natalya Ivanova.

In a conversation with a friend the day before her death, Vera Glagoleva discussed work and was going on a business trip to Kazakhstan to finish the film. The suddenness of the actress's departure gave rise to many different rumors. Some even began to accuse German doctors of incompetence, but Natalya Ivanova does not share this point of view. In her opinion, it’s all about the nature of the disease itself.

“In general, oncology is scary because it is completely unpredictable,” she noted. She gave as an example tragic fate Vera Glagoleva's brother Boris, who also died of cancer. “Last January, I came to Moscow to film a program dedicated to Vera’s anniversary. Borya on this program was a thriving, cheerful, completely healthy man. And a year later he was gone,” the producer recalled.

The Trud columnist met with Vera’s producer and friend Natalya Ivanova, with whom Glagoleva made three big films

The bitter date is approaching: 40 days from the date of death wonderful actress, director and beautiful, fragile woman Vera Glagoleva, who so suddenly left us. The Trud columnist met with Vera’s producer and friend Natalya Ivanova, with whom Glagoleva made three big, serious films - “Order”, “One War”, “Two Women”...

- Natalya, let's start from the beginning. Where and when did you meet Vera?

- I’ll remember now. It was 2004. It’s been three years since I founded my own film company, producing documentaries, I didn’t think about feature films. By that time, I had been friends with Vera’s brother Boris for about 20 years. We were familiar with Vera herself, but nothing more. One day Boris told me that Vera has interesting scenario, the TVC channel gives money for it, and Vera is looking for a producer. I met with Glagoleva, she gave me a cassette with her first film “Broken Light”, which I really liked for its special atmosphere, subtlety of emotions, understatement. In the end, I agreed to her proposal. It was Vera who took me by the hand and brought me to the big cinema. This is where our work-friendship began.

— What acting work did you like from her?

— In fact, all her roles are one big role. After all, she practically never starred in costume or historical films, with the exception of the films “Enemies” and “Without the Sun” based on Gorky. There were a few more war films, but mostly she played our contemporaries - fair women, with a strong inner core, who did not seek happiness on the side, and did not fight off other people’s husbands. She deliberately avoided negative heroines. She liked to spread positive, moral, spirituality. There was enough dirt and lies, she thought, all around.

— Did this collective image correspond to her character?

- In many ways, yes. 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. And then, Vera constantly fed herself spiritually. I read classic literature, knew the entire Bolshoi repertoire, was friends with Yuri Bashmet, tried not to miss his concerts. I adored the music of St. Petersburg composer Sergei Banevich, who worked on all our films.

Vera was a conservative throughout her life - in in a good way this word, which helped her maintain moral purity. I recently watched the film “About You”, where she, very young, was dyed blonde and cut into a bob for the role. This is surprising, but she did not change this appearance right up until her departure! Everyone admitted: There was faith stylish woman, she didn’t have flashy, flashy outfits. She was truly a harmonious, whole person. Everything is according to Chekhov: clothes, soul, thoughts...

“Everyone notes Verina’s tenderness and fragility, but I know from my experience of communicating with her that she could also be sharp, prickly...

- How else? She knew how to be a fighter and fighter, defending her rightness to the bitter end. We were never given money for our films the first time, it always dragged on for years. And together with her we knocked on doors, wrote letters, and hung up phones. You know, Vera was not only concerned about film problems, she was, as they say, an active citizen. I was worried about dirty forests near Moscow, for the demolition of historical buildings in her beloved Moscow, went to rallies in defense of the park near the Belorussky railway station...

And how many people she helped! She was friends with Mikhail Gluzsky, Vitaly Vulf, Vladimir Zeldin, and found time to take care of them. And she didn’t forget about the young people. Vera taught for several years acting, and after graduation she did not abandon her students, took care of them in every possible way, and helped with venues for showing performances. She always cast debutants in her films and discovered new names, as was the case in the films “One War” and “Two Women.” Once at Kinotavr she really liked the film of the then young director Nikolai Lebedev “Star”. Ironically, he did not receive any prize from the jury. When Vera found out about this, she bought starfish, went on stage and, without any regulations, presented him with this award. Nikolai Lebedev, now a two-time laureate of the State Prize of Russia, considers this the most valuable prize for himself.

—What was she like on the set?

“Demanding, uncompromising, everyone obeyed her, and sometimes they were afraid of her. Otherwise you can’t make a movie. Vera behaved in a special way only with actors, whom she not only pitied, but protected. I didn’t like screen tests. I assembled the ensemble cast for the future film in my head. I spent a long time sorting through photographs, watching films with the participation of candidates for roles, thinking, living with it. And only when she was almost one hundred percent sure of her choice did she invite actors to audition. And I must say, I was rarely wrong in my choice.

— Vera had neither acting nor directing education. How did she master these two most difficult professions?

“She had a reactive mind, I was always amazed at how quickly she grasped everything.” Personally, I need time to comprehend this or that situation, sometimes I need to write down my thoughts on paper, but at that time she had already decided everything for herself and flew away. Vera was close to people who understood her immediately; slow-witted people made her nervous.

This ability to immediately see the main thing was useful to her throughout life. After all, she starred with the legends of our cinema: Oleg Dahl, Innokenty Smoktunovsky, Alexei Batalov, Nikolai Rybnikov, Alla Demidova, Vera Vasilyeva, Alexander Abdulov. And it was filmed by outstanding directors: Anatoly Efros, Igor Talankin, Semyon Aranovich, Vitaly Melnikov, Alla Surikova. These were her acting and directing universities. And she is a talented student among them.

— How was your relationship with Vera on the set, who was your “main”?

“I never interfered with her work on the set. There is one king and god - the director. But I was always there, and that calmed her down. In the process of working on each of our films, we were in constant contact, discussing together the concept of the film, casting and a bunch of other important things, as it should be.

— How did English actor Ralph Fiennes appear in “Two Women”? This is such an extraordinary creative solution...

— After the emotionally difficult film “One War,” we wanted to touch the classics and make a beautiful, atmospheric movie. We understood that no one would give us a big budget, we needed to look for a chamber story. I suggested making a film based on Turgenev’s play “A Month in the Country.” Vera was surprised: wasn’t there really a big movie about this worldwide famous work? Then she asked: who could play Rakitin? I answered: just dream, while it doesn’t oblige us to anything. Then this name came up: Ralph Fiennes. “Well, you bent it,” I said. But I still wrote down in my notebook: Rakitin - Ralph Fiennes!

Literally a month later I read in the newspaper that world cinema star Ralph Fiennes is coming to the Mirror festival in the city of Ivanovo as the chairman of the jury. Vera and I urgently rushed to Ivanovo. Rafe read the application and really liked the idea of ​​playing Rakitin in an ensemble with Russian actors and under the direction of a Russian director. Later he read the script, watched the film “One War” and gave his consent. I just asked to postpone filming for a year due to my busy schedule. We were ready to wait for him for more than one year. As a result, Fiennes adorned the film with his subtle psychological play.

— Vera, as far as I know, managed to make the film “Clay Pit,” which, as it happens, will become her creative testament...

- Fortunately, I did. This is a socio-psychological drama based on the play by Olga Pogodina-Kuzmina. She talks about family relationships, where adults, in pursuit of personal happiness, forget about their children. Vera has never made this kind of film before; I would even say that it was a challenge for her. Glagoleva managed to film the entire Russian part of the film, now she needs to finish filming the visions and dreams of the main character. This is planned to be done this fall in Kazakhstan.

The film will be completed by the film’s cinematographer Alexander Nosovsky, who already worked with Vera on the film “Order,” and editing director Alexander Amirov. Glagoleva managed to discuss with them in detail all the important points for her. The painting will be finally ready by next summer.

— The plot of the play about a mother and her children involuntarily leads to the question of Vera Glagoleva and her three daughters. What kind of mother was she?

“She was an absolutely amazing, special mom.” To tell the truth, I have never met such mothers. On expeditions, on filming, and on vacation, she never parted with her phone. At first it annoyed me, but then I got used to it. I realized that Vera, as a mother, must know every minute what is happening with her children, where they are, who they are with, what they are doing, what they are eating, what they are thinking about. This constant connection with her children did not weaken even when her daughters became adults, got married, and had children. It's very difficult for her girls right now. Faith was the axis, the center of gravity of their large and friendly family.

— In one of our long-ago interviews with Vera, she called her departure ex-husband Rodion Nakhapetov to America by betrayal. Judging by recent events, they have reconciled...

“Vera found the strength to reconcile.” By the way, she never prevented the children from communicating with their father. For more than twenty years they had nothing to share: he had his own family, she had hers. Rodion Rafailovich often came to Moscow for the birthdays of girls and grandchildren. Children were also welcome guests in America. He flew to the funeral and said goodbye to Vera, it was very important to him.

- And the last thing. We cannot ignore the bitter page in today's conversation - her departure. Did you know she was sick?

- I knew, naturally. Her illness did not appear yesterday and was insidious in that sometimes we forgot that Vera was sick. Agile, light, she worked for two, and she sharply suppressed conversations about her illness, even in the closest circle. It was a taboo topic. I, too, was content with what she would say herself. Since we worked closely, made films, and this is a complex process in which finances and dozens of people are involved, I knew a little more than others, especially when it came to her departures for treatment.

Vera felt worse in February, after the funeral of her brother Boris, who also died of cancer. Over the past six months, her health condition was unstable, but still no one thought about the terrible outcome, we hoped that it would work out. She has up to last day there was a huge thirst for life, a desire to work and create. I know for sure that it was not part of her plans to leave us. I still can’t come to terms with her leaving. And I never can.

Vera Glagoleva, Natalya Ivanova, producer, Order,

Some friends of Vera Glagoleva believe that her serious health problems were provoked by the betrayal of her beloved men.

The news of the actress's death shocked not only her fans, but even people from close circle. As it turned out, Glagoleva had been battling stomach cancer for a long time. Vera Vitalievna flew for a consultation to one of the clinics in Germany, where, by the way, her brother Boris lives, and a few hours after visiting the hospital she passed away.

Upon learning of Glagoleva’s death, her colleague Elena Valyushkina, star of “Formula of Love” and “Bitter!”, wrote on her Instagram page: “ When a woman is betrayed, not once, but twice, by her beloved men, and she gets up and continues to live, create, raise children, not show it, win, delight, make movies. And this vile pain gnaws from the inside, tears me apart, does not allow me to sleep, and does not go away with time. This is how cancer begins. These are my thoughts…»

According to friends, Glagoleva did not like to share her problems with others and tried to hide them even from her family. Only from her first love, which revealed in 16-year-old Vera the opportunity to admire her beloved with all her heart, the actress was left with a feeling of incredible purity, romantic flair and slight naivety .

« My first love is a very talented person, musician, - shared Vera Glagoleva. - I thought then that this was a feeling of something different, a feeling of joy when you walk by the hand».

By that time, before the eyes of Vera and her older brother Boris, the family of their parents had broken up. summer holidays Verochka and Borya went kayaking with their father Vitaly Pavlovich. Dad’s colleague and her child also sailed with them.
Returning to Moscow, the children told their mother that during the trip, dad paid too much attention to someone else’s aunt and constantly fussed with her offspring. A scandal broke out. Vitaly Pavlovich packed his things and left home. Soon he left for the North, where he married again.

Glagoleva met her first husband, Rodion Nakhapetov, when she was 18 years old and he was 30. Together with a friend who worked at Mosfilm, Vera, who was then fond of archery and became a master of sports, came to watch the film. In the buffet, a girl in trendy trousers flared from the hip was noticed by cameraman Vladimir Klimov. It was he who invited her to audition for the film “To the End of the World...”, which Rodion was filming.

« The romance between Nakhapetov and Vera began before my eyes, - said actor Vadim Mikheenko, who played one of the roles in the film, the father of Yegor Beroev. - Rodion insisted that we be attentive to each other, because love and bright emotions had to be played. One day she broke into my hotel room, although I didn’t let her in because I was spending time with a prostitute. Seeing this disgrace, she began to treat Nakhapetov differently - he never allowed such liberties».

According to Mikheenko, it was impossible to take your eyes off Glagoleva at that time.
« Rodion was terribly jealous of her for me, continues Vadim. - One day, an American friend of mine came to Moscow, and in the evening we gathered in a cafe with guys and girls. There was also Vera. But soon Nakhapetov flew in and took his beloved away. I understand him: when you work with a person, you are engaged in creativity, you cannot be distracted by some other things, or cross the line. I took it calmly, but Rodion was trembling. I learned this trepidation from him.».

The couple had two daughters - Anya and Masha. The appearance of children did not in any way hinder the couple’s successful career. Vera both starred with her husband (they have five films together) and accepted invitations from other directors.

In 1987, Nakhapetov finished work on the film “At the End of the Night,” in which, alas, there was no place for his wife. It was this painting, purchased for display in the USA, that destroyed their marriage. Nakhapetov decided that he had a chance to gain a foothold in America, and without thinking twice he flew overseas. Unknown to his family, who was patiently waiting for his return to his homeland, he began an affair with a US citizen, film producer Natalya Shlyapnikoff, who was born into a family of Russian emigrants. After breaking up with Vera, he married Natasha.

« Life is a complicated thing, - Nakhapetov commented on this situation. - I am sure that Vera would have succeeded in life even without me. To some extent, I helped her at the beginning of her career, they paid attention to her, and then her talent and charisma played a role. Then she herself became a director... When our girls were little, they communicated with Glagoleva more often, and then they no longer had general issues, my daughters no longer needed care. Although my relationship with them has never been severed, they often visit my home in America. By the way, I raised my wife Natasha’s daughter from the age of five and also consider her to be my».

Rodion Nakhapetov with his wife Natasha, daughters Anna and Maria and Nastya Shubskaya

In 1991, 35-year-old Glagoleva met 27-year-old businessman Kirill Shubsky. This happened in Odessa during the Golden Duke festival. Charmed by the gallantry of the young millionaire, Vera, without thinking twice, invited him to invest in domestic cinema. Kirill refused, but did not stop caring for the actress, and they later got married. The family had a daughter, Nastya, who recently married hockey player Alexander Ovechkin.

« When our father Rodion Nakhapetov left our mother, it was incredibly difficult for her, because she loved him very much, - recalled eldest daughter actress Anna. - Then I was very happy that my mother had new man. Kirill treated my sister Masha and me like his own daughters. When they had Nastya, he didn’t make any distinction between us; many men don’t treat their own children the way he treats us. She and her mother got married in church, and Masha and I carried the crowns, which they then put on their heads. Everything was beautiful».

Ironically, both of Vera's husbands were born on the same day - January 21. But Rodion Nakhapetov is old enough to be Kirill Shubsky’s father. The actress's first husband is exactly 20 years older than her second. Alas, just like in her alliance with Nakhapetov, during her marriage with Shubsky, Vera Glagoleva had to endure the vile betrayal of her beloved.

When his and Glagoleva’s daughter was not even four years old, Kirill, as part of the delegation of the National Olympic Committee, of which he was a member, went on a business trip to Lausanne. In Switzerland, TV presenter Yulia Bordovskikh introduced the millionaire to her friend, gymnast Svetlana Khorkina.

« Kirill turned out to be not only a pleasant companion, but also a gallant gentleman: as soon as we were at the lake, he threw his light cashmere coat over my chilled shoulders.”, - Khorkina described this moment in her memoirs.

According to the gymnast, her new acquaintance immediately decided to give her mobile phone. To hear her voice at the first desire. " Crazy gift for those times!- the gymnast clarified. - We often called each other; whenever possible, he flew to Moscow to support me at Russian championships and Cups, and was in the support group at the European Championships in St. Petersburg and Moscow, and then in Sydney. He was always there, both in the most difficult and happiest moments of my sports life.».

A few years later, Khorkina realized that she was pregnant by her married boyfriend. True, Shubsky was not at all happy about this news. At his insistence, the athlete gave birth in Los Angeles under someone else's name.

« The man with whom I was expecting a child hid me from everyone. He didn’t want to advertise our relationship, so he tried not to show me to any of his compatriots,- Khorkina recalled. And she clarified that after the birth of their son Svyatoslav in July 2005, their relationship came to an end.

The millionaire officially recognized the child only a few years later, when peace and harmony returned to his marriage with Glagoleva, who managed to forgive her husband for a long trip to the side.

« Wisdom in relationships comes only with age, - Vera Vitalievna sighed. - I was able to leave behind everything bad that happened between us».

IN last years Glagoleva was raising her grandchildren and threw herself into her work.
« I just don’t believe in Verochka’s death, - actor Valery Garkalin barely holds back tears. - So smart, gentle, talented. I didn't even know about her terrible disease... When my beloved wife Katya was alive, we were family friends - she and Kirill and I and Ekaterina. And then my wife died and I had two heart attacks. I stopped communicating with many, but I constantly kept in touch with Verochka, at least by phone. I was happy for her that she became a director, making real psychological films, each of which became a discovery for me. Her life was in full swing…»

« Verochka is a real filmmaker, our comrade in arms,- operator Alexander Nosovsky, who worked for her, confirms Garkalin’s words last movie"Clay pit" - She was a maximalist both in details and in general. I didn’t even know that Veruni had such a serious illness, now I’m just in shock. She called me four days before her death. We discussed what remained to be completed in our film. We planned to work at the end of September in Kazakhstan. I don’t know what will happen to the painting now. Vera was really looking forward to these views. She wanted the ribbon to be visually beautiful. She herself remained a beauty until the very end and looked good. I don't believe she doesn't exist. I do not believe…»

Producer Natalya Ivanova, who worked with Vera Vitalievna on a number of films, told reporters that the condition of her colleague and friend worsened after the loss loved one. Glagoleva’s circle believed until the very end that she would be able to overcome serious illness. The woman never complained and was full of strength.

“Vera became worse in February, after the funeral of her brother Boris, who also died of cancer. Over the past six months, her health condition was unstable, but still no one thought about the terrible outcome, we hoped that it would work out. Until her last day, she had a great thirst for life, a desire to work and create. I know for sure that this was not part of her plans,” Ivanova shared.

A friend of Vera Glagoleva noted that sometimes loved ones forgot about the actress’s illness. “Agile, light, she worked for two,” recalls the producer. The woman always suppressed any conversations on this topic, which was taboo in her circle.

“I, too, was content with what she would say herself. Since we worked closely, made films, and this is a complex process in which finances and dozens of people are involved, I knew a little more than others, especially when it came to her departures for treatment,” says a friend of the star.
