The life of a Soviet actress Zoya Fedorova, who played in such famous films as "Frontline Friends", "Wedding in Malinovka", "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears" and many others, has developed like a real thriller. She had a lot of experiences: unhappy love, accusations of espionage, recognition as a daughter of an enemy of the people, imprisonment … Her earthly path was cut short when a fatal shot sounded in the back of the head. What was the motive for the murder, the investigation has not established.
As often happens, Zoya Fedorova paved the way to the theater and cinema with blood and sweat. Her parents were ordinary workers, and therefore did not at all agree with her daughter's desire to comprehend such an unusual, in their opinion, profession. In order for her daughter to settle down and get rid of nonsense from her head, her father insisted that she go to work as an accountant at Gosstrakh. True, she did not work here for long, and yet she was able to persuade her parents to give her a chance and allow her to enter the drama school.
Fedorova's acting career began with a cameo role in the film "Counter". Despite the fact that the episode was cut out during the editing, the shooting played a fatal role in her fate. Zoya met the cameraman Vladimir Rappoport, their romance did not last long, but during this time the master of cinema paved the way for the aspiring actress to Olympus.
The affair with Rappoport ended simultaneously with the tragic events that took place in the Fedorov family. Zoe's father was declared an enemy of the people, so the girl had no choice but to gather all her will into a fist and go to a personal reception with Beria to ask for pardon.
How the relationship between Zoya Fedorova and Lavrenty Pavlovich actually developed is not known for certain. However, after a while, the father was still able to be rescued, although he did not live long after imprisonment. Political accusations pursued Zoya all her life: in her youth, her lover, officer Kirill Prove, was accused of espionage, and later she herself went to prison on a similar charge. The reason for the arrest of Zoe herself was her relationship with the American military Jackson Tate. Their relationship began during the war years, and after its end they began to be considered by the government as criminal, because the United States ceased to be an ally of the Land of the Soviets.
Tate, who at that time lived in the USSR, was expelled, and Fedorova was sentenced to 25 years of correctional labor in the camps. The woman tried to commit suicide, but she was rescued and thrown behind bars. She spent eight years in prison before the case was reviewed and the actress was released.
It is interesting that the second life came to Zoya Fedorova after all the tests. If in the front-line films shot during the war years ("Girlfriends", "Musical History", "Wedding") her heroines were young and beautiful, life itself pulsed in them, then in the "post-prison" period she got only age roles. During these years, Fedorova was recognized as a People's Artist, she appears in many iconic tapes. "Wedding in Malinovka", "Operation" Y "and other adventures of Shurik", "Shadows disappear at noon", "Moscow does not believe in tears" - all these pictures are still loved by the audience.
The end of the life of the charming actress was tragic. It seemed that she could still find happiness, she managed to find her beloved Tate, she was finally reunited with her daughter, from whom she had been separated for many years. I even wanted to move to live in America, but suddenly that fatal shot sounded, the reason for which was never established. The investigation did not establish who was the killer of Zoya Fedorova. It is only known that the woman herself opened the door of her apartment to the criminal, so there is every reason to believe that this was a person she knew well.
Another actress who truly revealed her talent only after crossing the 40-year mark is Tatiana Peltzer. She is rightfully called beloved "grandmother" of Soviet cinema.
