She seemed to be a real darling of fate: a famous husband, a talented son, a wealthy stellar life. But in fact, there were so many losses in the life of Irina Bezrukova that it would have been more than enough for several lives. She was only 11 years old when her mother passed away, later the grandmother raising her and her sister passed away. In 2015, the son of the actress, Andrei Livanov, a talented and very bright person, died. How did the actress endure the loss of the most dear people in her life and how is she living now?

A darkened childhood

Irina Bakhtura (the actress's maiden name) was born and raised in Rostov-on-Don. Her mother was a doctor and her father is a very talented musician. He played the oboe and collaborated with the best orchestras of the Soviet Union. In the family, two daughters, Irina and Olga, were born with a difference of one and a half years. And their parents' marriage lasted only a few years.

The girls' father often drank and was aggressive while intoxicated. As a result, my mother decided to divorce and began to raise her daughters herself. Dad practically did not take part in this, he paid alimony from time to time, but for some time he did not lose hope of returning.

He tried to insist on family reunification, but Irina's mother was already seriously ill at that time and decided not to aggravate her condition with additional stresses. The woman's health condition rapidly deteriorated, and a few years after surgery to remove a brain tumor, a relapse occurred.

Irina was only 11 years old when her mother passed away. At that moment, she childishly tried to hide from the pain. She closed herself in and simply refused to accept the fact that her mother was no longer there.

Another blow

All the worries about the granddaughters were taken over by the grandmother. She moved from the Kharkov region to Rostov-on-Don, got a job as a janitor and raised girls. She simply enveloped them in her love, and they tried to answer her in the same way: even before the lessons began, they cleaned the streets with her.

After leaving school, Irina entered the Rostov School of Arts and from the second year she took part in productions of the Rostov Academic Drama Theater. When a talented student was offered to hold two large city discos with another student of the art school, she enthusiastically began to rehearse.

Immediately after the dress rehearsal, Irina was told that her grandmother had a stroke. Arriving at the hospital, the girl heard a disappointing forecast: the grandmother is unlikely to come to her senses. Before the second disco, the terrible bell rang again: her beloved grandmother was no longer there.

Irina persuaded her partner Vladimir Stukanov not to tell anyone about what happened. Firstly, she could not let people down, and secondly, she really needed the money that the organizers promised to pay. After the end of the disco, the girl entered the dressing room and almost immediately fainted.

First marriage

Acquaintance with Igor Livanov took place in a difficult period for the actor. Then the first wife and their 8-year-old daughter were killed in a train accident. Irina and Igor talked a lot, gradually the young girl managed to breathe a craving for life into her colleague. Young people began to meet, and after Irina received a diploma, they became husband and wife.

Soon Igor Livanov received an offer from his namesake Vasily Livanov to work at the Moscow Experimental Theater "Detective". Irina, as a faithful and devoted wife, went with her husband to Moscow. It was not at all easy for them: at first they lived in the country, heating it all night with wooden debris found in a spontaneous garbage can nearby. The apartment in Rostov-on-Don was changed only for a 16-meter room in a communal apartment, where the couple lived for another 10 years. In 1989, their only son Andryusha was born.

Irina worked for four months in the famous "Snuffbox", but they took her there only for the duration of the illness of the main actress. Later, Irina Livanova worked as a model for the then novice stylist Sergei Zverev. However, her life for the most part was subordinated to the most important person in life, her son.

And later, on the set of the film "Unfamiliar Weapon, or Crusader 2", she met Sergei Bezrukov.

Eternal happiness

When a swift romance began, Irina realized that she would not deceive her husband, just as she would not bury her love. Soon the actress took Andryusha and went to Sergei Bezrukov. She sincerely believed in the infinity of their love. It was with this person that she wanted to meet her maturity.

In 2000, Irina and Sergey officially registered their relationship. Sergei was often absent from home, so he had an even calm relationship with Andrei. The actor did not claim the title of father and was not going to interfere with Andrey's relationship with his own dad.

Andryusha grew up so unlike other children that Irina was sometimes surprised. The son read a lot, in childhood he first appeared in films, and at the age of 12 he became a participant in the famous musical "Nord-Ost". Fortunately, when the terrorist attack took place, Andrei Livanov had already left the list of participants.

15 years of marriage of Irina and Sergei Bezrukov were happy and filled with sincere feelings. The couple parted so often during work that they always tried to spend their free time together. They invariably appeared together on the red carpet and from the outside seemed like the perfect couple. But happiness turned out to be far from eternal.

The bitterness of loss

Irina was on tour when her son stopped communicating. Irina Vladimirovna became worried a few hours after Andrei stopped answering calls. The actress asked her friend to open the door. When Irina's colleagues in the theater, together with the district police officer, were able to get into the apartment, they saw the body of Andrei Livanov on the floor. The young man slipped on a tile, hit his head and died.

When Irina Bezrukova is asked how she managed to survive the loss of her son, she sincerely says that she herself does not understand this. She has repeatedly refused lucrative offers in theater and cinema in order to pay attention to Andrei. He was the dearest and closest person to her. And now she is far from always realizing why she lives while her son has been gone for a long time.

Life goes on

In the same 2015, Sergei Bezrukov filed for divorce. The spouses claim that by the time of the dissolution of the marriage, they had not lived together for a long time. Irina did not restrain her husband, considering it the highest manifestation of love to let a person go to where it would be better for him. Sergei Bezrukov in one of the interviews claimed that the decision to break up was made by Irina. The actress herself sometimes brilliantly avoids answering, leaving the audience the right to think out the ending themselves.

Today Irina Bezrukova continues to play in the theater, acts in films, is actively involved in social activities. She mastered the profession of a tiflo commentator and now she comments on performances for blind people.

Recently, the actress has often appeared in public with her longtime friend, artist Pavel Vahan. Both do not exclude that their long-term friendship has every chance of developing into something more. At least the artist calls Irina Bezrukova his muse, and she does not hide that she is pleased with this title. Once she made a promise to her son to be happy and now, in spite of everything, she is trying to fulfill this promise.

Unfortunately, fame and success are not a defense against loss and tragedy. Celebrities suffer from losses no less than mere mortals, especially if it is associated with the loss of a child. Stars are used to hiding their pain by going out in public again and again with a smile on their face. And only the closest people know how many tears inconsolable parents shed when no one sees them.
