It is believed that children are abandoned by those parents who are unable to support them or who lead an immoral lifestyle. But it turns out that even among the celebrities who have fame and wealth, there are those who did not want to raise their own sons and daughters. This also applies to the stars of Soviet cinema, for the sake of a career, they abandoned loved ones. We will not condemn or justify anyone, just tell the stories of actresses who preferred work to their children.

Lyubov Polishchuk

The first marriage of the actress can hardly be called happy. Lyubov Polishchuk and Valery Makarov played in the same troupe of the Omsk theater. Everything suited the man: in his city he was considered a real star. It is not surprising that frequent holidays and feasts led to the fact that he became addicted to alcohol. Love was not satisfied only with provincial fame, she had plans on a much larger scale: to conquer the capital. Therefore, she soon filed for divorce and, taking with her son Alexei, moved to Moscow. However, no one was waiting for her there and, trying to find a place in the sun, the actress worked a lot and moved with the child from one rented apartment to another. In the end, Polishchuk had no choice but to send Alexei to a boarding school, where he studied until the sixth grade. Later, the now famous actor admitted that in childhood he believed that all normal schools are like that: you study and live there. Soon Lyubov got married a second time: the artist Sergei Tsigal became her chosen one. The boy finally found a home, but he hardly imagined that family life would be like this. Alexey literally became a nanny for Masha's younger sister. But this is not the worst thing. The relationship with his stepfather did not work out, and Sergei could hit the child for any, even the smallest offense. Makarov, not wanting to upset his mother, was silent about the beatings. It is not known whether Alexei could forgive a loved one, but when the actress was dying of cancer, it was he who was with her all the time.

Lyudmila Gurchenko

The famous actress and singer never hid that career and fame were always in the first place for her. The father of Gurchenko's only daughter Masha was screenwriter Boris Andronikashvili. However, Lyudmila, wanting to quickly go to work, already at the age of four months sent the child to be raised by her parents in Kharkov. The artist's marriage lasted only two years, but she took the girl to her only when she was three years old. However, Gurchenko did not have time for upbringing, and soon Maria went to her grandparents again. Perhaps that is why in the future the relationship between mother and daughter did not work out at all. Growing up, Maria began to do everything to annoy her parent: she refused to enter the theater, having submitted documents to the medical one, deliberately dressed badly and, at every opportunity, told that she could not forgive the insult. Finally, relations between family members soured after Maria's son died of a drug overdose at the age of 16. Gurchenko considered that it was the mother who did not look after the child. However, Lyudmila Markovna herself did not seek to improve relations at least with her granddaughter Elena and even never met her great-granddaughter Taisia. It is worth noting that the actress even sued her own daughter: the star claimed that she once bought her mother an apartment, but her grandmother decided to leave the house. inherited by Mary. They say that before her death, Gurchenko was still able to make peace with the child. But Masha survived her by only 6 years.

Elena Proklova

The TV presenter and actress married for the first time at the age of 18 to documentary filmmaker Vitaly Melik-Karamov. Soon the young couple had a daughter, Arina. However, Proklova, dreaming of the stage, did not have time to deal with the child. Therefore, she decided to send the girl to her parents. Elena soon divorced her first husband, but after that she remarried. However, this marriage did not last long: immediately after birth, the twin children died, and the spouses decided to leave. Proklova again plunged headlong into work, and again there was no time for her daughter. And only with her third husband, the actress was able to find happiness: she gave birth to another daughter from Andrei Trishin. And the relationship with the older one also managed to improve over time.

Natalia Fateeva

The Soviet actress has three children, but none of her heirs wants to communicate with the star mother. But most of all, the eldest daughter was unlucky. The first husband of the actress was Leonid Tarabarinov. Then young Fateeva was still studying at the theatrical institute in Kharkov, but dreamed of all-Union glory. Therefore, the girl who was soon born became only a hindrance. Then Natalya simply left the baby to her father and grandmother and left to conquer Moscow. For all the years, the actress remembered about her daughter only once: Fateeva was in the process of divorcing her third husband Boris Egorov and was afraid that the man would want to sue her apartment. Then Natalya called her daughter from Kharkov and registered her at her place, but she told everyone that this was her housekeeper. When it turned out that the ex-husband did not apply for housing, the star sent the heiress back, although the actress herself claims that she does not have an older daughter. But, by the way, her son Vladimir and daughter Natalya, "recognized" by her, also do not want to have anything to do with the famous parent. They claim that they spent all their childhood with their grandparents, practically without seeing their mother. The relationship between them finally came to naught when the youngest daughter became pregnant at the age of 16. Fateeva persuaded to give the child to the baby's home. However, the parents of the failed son-in-law, having learned about this, took the baby to them. Vladimir, however, completely took the side of his sister and stopped all communication with his mother.

Lydia Fedoseeva-Shukshina

The actress in many interviews claims that the biggest tragedy for her was the separation from her eldest daughter. But the facts suggest otherwise: Anastasia was born in Lydia's marriage to actor Vyacheslav Voronin. The couple lived in Kiev until the artist met me with Vasily Shukshin. The well-known ladies' man invited the girl he liked to go with him to Moscow - and she agreed.

The daughter of Fedoseyev-Shukshina was first sent to Leningrad to her parents. But after they started complaining about the lack of time and money, she decided that the child would be better with his father and grandmother in Kiev. After graduation, Anastasia also decided to follow in the footsteps of her parents, but failed the exams at VGIK. Before returning home, she decided to stop by to visit her mother. But no one opened the door to the girl. Although, as she claimed, they still looked through the peephole, after recognizing her, they preferred to pretend that no one was at home. Nastya married a resident of Angola, gave birth to a daughter, but soon went to jail for drug trafficking. When she was released, she again came to her mother to introduce her to her granddaughter. But Anastasia made it clear that no one is happy with them.

Evgeniya Khanaeva

The actress, whom many remember from the films "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears" and "Take Care of Men", has always dreamed of fame. But her son Vladimir, who was born in a marriage with the economist Anatoly Uspensky, became a hindrance to her. Tired of diapers and endless washings, Evgenia did not find anything better than to leave, leaving her child and husband. Vladimir could not forgive such betrayal and, even as an adult, did not want to communicate with his mother. True, when Khanaeva's health deteriorated, it was her son who first came to her aid. Alas, the actress soon passed away, but her relatives, albeit late, managed to make up.

Larisa Luzhina

The muse of Vladimir Vysotsky also devoted all her time to work. Therefore, the son Pavel, whom the actress gave birth to from cameraman Valery Shuvalov, practically did not see his mother. And when the shooting began to take all the time, Luzhina decided to send the child to a boarding school.

But Larisa nevertheless came to her senses in time and realized that the child and family are more important to her. Therefore, she took the child and tried to give him everything in her power.
