This meeting was predicted by a fortune teller to the legendary coach when she was 31 years old. The prophecy came true on the same day, followed by 33 years of strong family happiness. In their life there were many partings, hungry times, ups and downs. Only their feelings remained unchanged, which made it possible to save the family, no matter what.

Mysticism and reality

Until the moment she met her future husband, Tatyana Tarasova had already managed to be married twice. The first marriage with actor Alexei Samoilov lasted only two years. The second husband of Tatyana Tarasova, Vasily Khomenkov, whom she loved very much, took his own life.

Two years after the death of Vasily, Tatyana with two friends - Marina Neyelova and Elena Matveyeva went to her grandmother Praskovya, who was guessing by the morning dew. At first, Tatyana did not even want to listen to her, because the old woman recalled the tragedy with her second husband. But Praskovya detained Tarasova, informing her about the imminent marriage. She advised not to pay attention to the small growth of the future husband, for he will be talented and famous, and Tatiana will be happy with him.

In the evening, friends in the same composition stopped by at the house of Mark Fradkin, with whose daughter Tarasova was friends. Vladimir Krainev was already there. They had heard about each other before, since Tatiana and Volodya were both friends with the Fradkin family. However, they never matched during visits to friends.

This time, seeing a young man at the table in the kitchen, Tanya laughed, exclaiming that it was her happiness. The young man looked very much like the future husband described by the fortuneteller. He volunteered to take the girl to work, and when crossing the Stone Bridge behind them, right above the Kremlin, a double rainbow rose, full and bright. She had never seen one like this in her life. And he suddenly said that it was to great happiness.

They met on October 19, 1978, the next day Tanya flew to Riga. Vladimir was not going to wait for her to return. He got the whole Riga Philharmonic to its feet, and colleagues helped him find out in which room his new acquaintance lives.

He began to call her every day. It already looked like the beginning of a novel. She returned from Riga, and he flew to Gorky. Immediately after returning on November 5, 1978, he packed his things and moved to his beloved, because he simply could no longer live without her. Between these two events, they managed to apply to the registry office. On the ninth day after meeting.

The Wedding Planner

However, they did not manage to get married as quickly as they would like. In one house, two stars converged, with mismatched competition and tour schedules. The honored trainer and famous pianist several times postponed the date of the official painting, until Vladimir Krainev simply went for a trick.

On tour in Poland, he slightly injured his finger and made a whole tragedy out of it. With only one goal: to fly to Moscow and, finally, become the husband of her beloved Tanya. On March 2, 1979, they registered their marriage. Moreover, the ceremony was conducted not by an ordinary registrar, but by the director of the registry office herself.

He gave me wings …

Despite the frequent separation, they were incredibly happy. Tatyana Anatolyevna says: “I flew with him. He gave me wings!"

Their house was always open and crowded. Tatyana's mother hoped that after marriage, her daughter would stop taking all her students to the house, and would begin to look after the interests of her husband, a musician, creating conditions for him to be creative. But in fact, friends and students of Krainev were added to the friends and students of Tarasova.

The dinner was prepared on an industrial scale, for both the household and the numerous guests had to be well-fed. Tatyana managed to do absolutely everything at home between competitions and training. While at home, she constantly cooked, cleaned, washed. When she went on business trips, Tarasova's mother and sister looked after the apartment.

Their union was both family and creative. He helped her select music for the performances of her students, for Bestemyanova and Bukin he recorded a four-minute composition "Rhapsodies on a Theme of Paganini". She gladly attended his concerts, and after that they could talk for hours.

When Vladimir was diagnosed with an ulcer, Tatyana went on tour with him to provide her husband with a normal diet and compliance with the regime.

The idea of creating an ice theater "All Stars" was submitted to his wife by Vladimir. He also helped her with musical scores, with recordings, and with performances too.

Strength of mind

When it was especially difficult in Russia in the 90s, Vladimir moved to Hanover and opened his own music school there. In their German house, the doors were never closed either. Tatyana Anatolyevna coached athletes in America, only there she was provided with ice.

She brought up the champions of the Olympics, and he - the laureates of international competitions. He was her support, support and love. He, already ill, supported her in those difficult times when Tarasova's elder sister Galina died, and after her mother, Nina Grigorievna. He passed away at the end of April 2011. He died of a pulmonary aneurysm a few hours after a telephone conversation with his wife.

Tatyana Tarasova gathered all her will into a fist. She continues to live and work. And only occasionally she allows herself to remember that her heart is not at all icy.
