They were one of the most beautiful couples in the Soviet Union and completely different people: Nikolai Rybnikov was reserved, sometimes even unsociable, and Alla Larionova was open and sociable. But this did not prevent them from living together for 33 years.

Unhappy happy love

Nikolai Rybnikov has long been in love with the beautiful Alla Larionova. He courted her, showed signs of attention, and even somehow confessed his love to her by sending a telegram. But she always preferred others. Desperate, he even tried to commit suicide, but he was stopped by a friend, Sergei Gerasimov. He told him that it was stupid to hang yourself because of a woman, you need to win her.

The heart of the actress has long belonged to the actor Ivan Pereverzev, she was expecting a child from him. However, during the filming, it turned out that the object of her passion had married another, hiding this fact from Alla. On the evening of the day when the truth was revealed, a friend of the actress called Rybnikov with a message about the break between Larionova and Pereverzev.

He rushed to the actress and from the doorway offered her his hand and heart and just flew with happiness when he heard her consent. And then he applied all the charm of which he could only get them painted, despite the day off. On January 1, 1957, Nikolai Rybnikov became the husband of Alla Larionova.

He immediately said that other women would never appear in his life, there was only one woman. Together they made the decision never to think about Alla's romance.

Happiness for two

Alenka was born in February 1957. The couple were happy watching their baby grow up. And to all questions Rybnikov answered shortly: "My daughter!" Arisha will be born to them in four years. But Nikolai will never distinguish between daughters.

Sometimes it seemed that Alenka was even closer to her father than her own daughter. However, both girls did not feel left out, parental love and attention were given to them equally.

On the screen, he was always the ringleader, the soul of the company, but in life he did not like increased attention to himself, he was rather silent, even withdrawn. But Allochka, capricious, selfish and eccentric in her roles, in reality was open, sociable, very friendly.

She easily made new acquaintances and received a clear pleasure from attention to herself. It seemed that it was impossible for them to get along in the same apartment, but they could not even quarrel seriously. Minor disagreements were resolved fairly quickly.

Unlike the calmly restrained and wise Alla Dmitrievna, Nikolai Nikolaevich was emotional, he loved to surprise. He could leave in the morning without saying a word to anyone, and in the evening appear with a brand new color TV.

However, he has always been a breadwinner. If there were always good products in the house, even at a time of widespread scarcity, then this is exclusively the merit of the actor. At the same time, he completely did not pay attention to minor everyday problems. If it was necessary to change the switches, hammer in a nail or repair the stool, this was usually done by Alla Dmitrievna. She felt much more confident behind the wheel than her husband. But the husband masterly coped with the laundry.

The actress had an excellent sense of taste. It manifested itself not only in her appearance, which Alla Dmitrievna considered an integral part of the profession, but also in everyday life. It was she who was engaged in the design of the apartment, being able to create unique things out of nothing that adorned their house.

He cooked together, but each his own specialties. Alla Dmitrievna - borsch and cutlets, and Nikolai Nikolaevich - delicious pickles. He liked to run early to the market, while everyone was still asleep, and then wake up the family with the clatter of dishes in the kitchen. If the family members were indignant at such a peculiar alarm clock, he suggested that they be patient for the sake of a delicious breakfast. Sometimes he simply stated that he would not cook today, the whole family went to dinner at a restaurant.

The guests were often summoned to the signature dumplings. A huge bowl of minced meat was being prepared, the same amount of dough. Friends put on chintz aprons, sewn specially for this purpose by the hostess, and together they all participated in modeling and cooking.

Despite his isolation and dislike for noisy companies, Nikolai Rybnikov was a real romantic. Wherever he was, on February 19, his wife's birthday, he always hurried home. Alla Larionova was always waiting for him that day, even if her husband's shooting was very far away. And he appeared in the evening, with a bunch of gifts and a bouquet of flowers for his beloved. He called her "lapusik", loved her without any conditions and was ready to endure everything for the happiness of being with her.

Sudden separation

It seemed that their happiness would be endless. In August 1990, Nikolai Nikolaevich salted his signature tomatoes in order to treat them to guests on his anniversary. He did not live to see him only two months, died of a stroke in his sleep.

Alla Dmitrievna often said later that she had lived her whole life next to her beloved, and did not have time to be alone with him. She found the strength to live on, completely immersed in work. And she even began to appear on the theatrical stage, although this was new to her. She lived for another 10 years and died, like her husband, in a dream, with a smile on her face.

There were difficulties in their family when Nikolai Rybnikov stopped acting in films. But the difficulties only strengthened their feelings.
