The fate of the general's daughter Valentina Malyavina should have developed quite differently. She starred with the best directors of her time, Alexander Zbruev, Andrei Tarkovsky, Alexander Kaidanovsky and thousands of spectators were in love with her. But for her popularity, success and happiness she had to pay too high a price: Malyavina had a chance to survive the death of a newborn child, alcohol addiction and even four years in prison …
They say about such people: "I was born with a golden spoon in my mouth." Valentina Malyavina grew up in the family of a general and from childhood did not know the need for anything. Even in her school years, she was fond of theater and dreamed of becoming an actress. And she had all the prerequisites for this - both acting skills and a bright, memorable appearance. At the age of 16, she met her first love - Alexander Zbrueva. In the senior class, a scandal erupted: Valya became pregnant. He and Zbruev immediately went to the registry office, but their parents did not approve of their union. The mothers of the young people conspired and took Valya to the gynecologist, who, without her knowledge and consent, performed an artificial birth in the 7th month of pregnancy. Zbruev did not believe that his wife got rid of the child against her will, and could not forgive her. After that, their marriage did not last long.
After school, Valentina Malyavina entered the Theater School. Shchukin. Already in the first year she made her film debut, and soon the young director Andrei Tarkovsky, who was then looking for an actress for the main role in his film Ivan's Childhood, drew attention to her. On the set, feelings flared up between them. Years later, Malyavina admitted: "".
On the set of the film "Youth", the actress again had an affair with the director, Pavel Arsenov, and this time it ended with a wedding. Valentina Malyavina did not lose hope of becoming a mother, but their child died a few days after birth. At this time, she developed an addiction to drown her problems in alcohol. At the same time, the first manifestations of her unbalanced character made themselves felt: one night, in a state of alcoholic intoxication, she took the icon and went on foot to the Zagorsk monastery. And then Malyavina began a new romance - with actor Alexander Kaidanovsky, and passions boiled so violently that both arranged public scenes of jealousy for each other, cut their veins in a drunken stupor in order to leave life together, and did not hide the truth from their other halves. It all ended in a break with Kaidanovsky and a divorce from Arsenov.
The next chosen one of the actress was the novice actor Stas Zhdanko, who was 12 years younger than her. He admitted that he had long been in love in absentia with a famous actress, and began to look after her beautifully. This romance was even more passionate and turbulent than the previous ones. Malyavina was less and less invited to the cinema, and the young ambitious actor Zhdanko could not at all achieve success in the profession. Both found solace in alcohol.
On April 12, 1978, a tragedy struck that cost Zhdanko's life and Malyavina's freedom. The actress told about what happened like this: "".
At first, the incident was regarded as a suicide, but after 4 years Zhdanko's relatives achieved a reconsideration of the case, the actress was convicted under the article "Intentional Murder" and sentenced to 9 years in prison. She spent the next 4, 5 years in prison, and in 1987 was released under an amnesty. Her cellmate claims that Valentina nevertheless admitted her guilt.
After her release, she tried to return to cinema and starred in several films, but alcohol completely destroyed her life. Her apartment has become a place of constant drinking and a refuge for local homeless people. One day she hit her head on the doorframe and lost her sight. Friends of the actress took her to a closed boarding house, where the actress underwent a course of treatment and stayed to live. Visitors are rarely allowed to see her, as this has a detrimental effect on her mental state.
Alcohol has ruined more than one talented actress: unused chances of the star of "Pokrovsky Gate" Elizaveta Nikishchina.
