Sometimes it's not difficult to keep a marriage for some higher purpose, but keeping love for life is a real talent. Andrei Myagkov and Anastasia Voznesenskaya did not just live together for more than half a century. Through all these long years they have carried tenderness and trepidation of feelings. Their love was able to overcome all adversity.

Student love

He entered the Moscow Art Theater School after graduating from the Institute of Chemical Technology, and she - right after school. Andrei Myagkov was the oldest on the course, Nastya Voznesenskaya was the youngest. And, by the way, the most beautiful.

He immediately realized that this was his girlfriend. There was simply no question of friendship. Nastenka, thin, fragile, wondered if she could always be with this person. She had a sea of admirers, but Andrei sang so beautifully that she first fell in love with his voice, then with her gait, and realized, in the end, that she simply could not breathe normally without him. They began to appear everywhere together: in the classroom, in the student canteen, during recess. Andrey and Nastya always held hands. And there was something unusually touching and tender in this.

He did not throw the whole world at her feet, he simply became the most necessary person for her, the most reliable protection from all adversity and problems. In the second year, they became husband and wife, promising each other to be together in sorrow and joy, in wealth and in poverty, in glory and oblivion.

Test of Glory

Immediately after receiving a diploma from the Moscow Art Theater School, the promising graduate Anastasia Voznesenskaya was invited to work at Sovremennik by Oleg Efremov himself. Nastya, without thinking twice, said that she would accept the offer only if her husband was taken into the troupe with her. So they became stage colleagues.

The star of Anastasia Voznesenskaya shone rapidly and brightly. A year later, she became famous for her role as a radio operator in the film "Major Whirlwind". Andrei remained a modest theater artist, starred in extras. His first big role in "The Adventures of a Dentist" went unnoticed, because the film was not admitted to the wide distribution. Surprisingly, Myagkov did not envy his wife. He just helped her in everything. He was not jealous of her fame, did not frown when they spoke of him as the husband of Voznesenskaya.

Role reversal

And ten years later he became a celebrity of the first magnitude. After the release of "The Irony of Fate" in 1976, they started talking about Myagkov. His hero Zhenya Lukashin turned out to be close and understandable to everyone in the country. In an awkward and charmingly in love man, everyone could find a part of himself. And a year later, Anatoly Efremovich Novoseltsev continued the actor's triumphal march. He was recognized on the streets, besieged with letters.

By this time, the fame of Nastya Voznesenskaya was on the decline, and already Andrei, when he was invited to the shooting, always asked that Nastya be filmed with him. Even if he risked losing his job at the same time, as happened with the movie "Big Change". People's rumor attributed him to romances with all his film partners, and he continued to love one and only one with anxiety.

Invisible connection

Andrei Myagkov, playing awkward, rustic, everyone understandable characters in the cinema, in life was their complete opposite. He could masterfully get out of a difficult situation and solve any problem. In the family, he was always the main one, Anastasia did not even think about what could be different. After all, he is older, more experienced, wiser. Next to him, she forever remained a young fragile student in need of his care and protection.

She prepared delicious meals for him and made sure that he ate on time. When Andrei injured his hand on the set, Nastya immediately called him with questions about why he had blood on his hand. He still cannot understand how she could find out, because no one called her and told her about the misfortune.

New realities

Andrey Myagkov and Anastasia Voznesenskaya touchingly hold each other's hands even today. They could not adapt to the requirements of modern cinema, but they were able to maintain a deep inner decency and their youthful passionate love.

When an unpleasant illness struck Nastenka, Andrei did everything to return his beloved to a normal life. At the moment when Andryusha's heart surgery was required, Anastasia raised acquaintances and strangers to her feet to help him.

They both do not like to be interviewed and categorically refuse to talk about their personal lives. They just don't let anyone in. Many journalists write that they do not invite anyone to their home, embarrassed by a rather modest environment. Perhaps the reason is not at all in the modesty of their life, but in the fact that the house is really their fortress. There must be too much personal in their house to let strangers in. They do not need anyone in the world that they have created for themselves and their all-consuming love.

Andrei and Anastasia are simply not tired of each other's company. As in their youth, love continues to accompany them in everything. Due to the fact that Nastenka always supports her husband in everything, he began to paint, starting with a portrait of his beloved. When they got carried away with reading detective stories together, Andrei Myagkov began to write them himself. He does everything in the name of love and for love.

They celebrated their golden wedding anniversary long ago, but they still look at each other with incredible tenderness. And the secret of this endless tenderness is simple and unpretentious: you just need to love. Always, under any conditions, under any circumstances.

Andrey Myagkov and Anastasia Voznesenskaya have loved each other for more than half a century. An example of the same longevity in love is demonstrated Oleg Basilashvili and Galina Mshanskaya.
