Irina Ponarovskaya was one of the most popular singers on the Soviet stage. Refined, beautiful and incredibly talented, she was a model of style for many women in the USSR. But there was a story, the memories of which still hurt her today. "Miss Chanel of the Soviet Union" tries not to talk about the girl who temporarily became her daughter. How does Anastasia Kormysheva live today, adopted into the family, and then rejected by the daughter of Irina Ponarovskaya?

Baby for 50 rubles

In 1983, Irina Ponarovskaya gave a concert in the city of Zlatoust, Chelyabinsk region. After performing in the singer's dressing room, a young girl appeared with a one-year-old child in her arms. And she offered the performer to buy a baby from her. The girl was dark-skinned and very pretty, although it was evident that the baby was not quite healthy.

Doctors have long been telling Irina Ponarovskaya that she cannot have children, but the singer desperately wanted to become a mother. At that time, she was married to a dark-skinned jazz singer Weiland Rodd and, as it seemed to her, little Anastasia (that was the name of the girl) could become their daughter.

Nastya's own mother took the money, handed Irina her daughter and just left. No one issued any documents, that is, officially Nastya had nothing to do with Irina Ponarovskaya. However, the singer truly fell in love with Betty, who actually turned out to be not entirely healthy. But Ponarovskaya spared no effort, time and money for the treatment of her adopted daughter. Weiland Rodd was completely unhappy with the appearance of a foster child in their house.

Many years later, Anastasia Kormysheva will talk about how cruel he was not only towards her, but also towards his wife. Even the news of Irina's pregnancy did not soften him, he only began to persistently persuade his wife to abandon his adopted daughter. The singer herself could not even imagine how she would be able to "return" the baby who had already firmly taken a place in her heart.

The couple had a son, Anthony, Irina Ponarovskaya worked a lot, often did not have time to do something around the house, and Weiland Rodd could not give up the desire to get rid of the unwanted, and even someone else's, child in the house. Taking advantage of the next departure of Ponarovskaya on tour, he simply took Betty to the police, saying that this girl had been planted for them. When the singer returned, he simply said: his own mother came for Betty and took her away.

Reunion attempt

Then Irina Ponarovskaya resigned herself, but thoughts about the girl did not leave her. Only 12 years later, she admitted in an interview that she would like to find Betty. Journalists tracked down the girl in an orphanage in Chelyabinsk, and during a meeting between Irina Ponarovskaya and Anastasia Kormysheva, the performer said: she will try to correct her mistakes of youth. By that time, the marriage of Ponarovskaya and Rodda had long since disintegrated, the performer was raising a 13-year-old son whom she loved very much.

She hoped to love her little girl again and did not refuse her anything. Irina listened with tears to Betty's stories about the years after parting with the singer's family, about the horrors that Nastya experienced when she lived in an orphanage in Chebarkul, and how the girl kept a postcard with a photo of Ira's mother under her pillow.

"Miss Chanel of the Soviet Union" sincerely believed: now everything will be different. But the reality turned out to be much more brutal than she could have imagined. Anastasia turned out to be far from an angel. Despite the fact that she did not know anything about the refusal, the girl began to take Irina's things without asking, she was repeatedly accused of lying, then money began to disappear from the house. Irina's cup of patience overflowed when the singer's expensive jewelry was found in her adopted daughter's purse, and she herself witnessed how Anastasia was trying to seduce Anthony, the son of Ponarovskaya.

Anastasia tried to make excuses, proved her case, said that the rings accidentally ended up in her purse. But Ponarovskaya made a tough, but as it seemed to her, the only right decision: to send the girl back to Chelyabinsk and never remember her again.

Ghosts of the past

Anastasia was discouraged, but her life went on. For many years, she maintained a relationship with the director of the Chelyabinsk orphanage, who took care of her, and after the death of the woman she was left alone. Nastya claims that Anthony called her and demanded not to try to renew relations with her mother.

Betty tried to cope with her own problems, but they grew like a snowball. She worked as a stripper in a nightclub, dated a young man. But he disappeared the moment he found out about the pregnancy of his beloved. Anastasia gave birth to a son, Fedor, and subsequently mastered the profession of a massage therapist.

A few more years later, Anastasia Kormysheva tried to find out why she was thrown out of the family as a boring puppy. She appeared in various shows, gave interviews. She talked everywhere that she did not hold a grudge against the actress, but all her interviews as a result seemed to be one continuous accusation against Irina Ponarovskaya.

As a result, the director of the singer Lera Tuvina put an end to these ugly proceedings. She talked about how Anastasia behaved in the singer's house, and about the vain attempts of Irina Ponarovskaya to somehow influence the girl.

Today Anastasia Karmysheva is already 37 years old, she is still raising her 11-year-old son and works as a masseuse.

Irina Ponarovskaya still reacts painfully to conversations about Betty, but admits: perhaps she was not quite right. But she had too developed a self-preservation instinct and too strong maternal feelings. For the sake of her son, she is ready for anything today, and at that time she really tried to protect him.

The only thing that the famous performer asks for is not to make her remember that story. At least out of pity for her.

In the 1980s-1990s. she was one of the most popular pop performers and a real style icon, and at the beginning of the XXI century. disappeared from the stage and from the screens, which gave rise to a lot of rumors. Recently, Ponarovskaya gave several candid interviews in which she debunked some myths about herself. What is the singer really doing these days, and why did she not make herself felt for so long?
