At one time, the marriage of Zinaida Kirienko and Valery Tarasevsky caused a lot of conversations in the creative environment. She was 27 years old, and he was only 17. He always supported his famous wife in everything, proving every day that she married not a boy, but a Man.

An unexpected fan

In Grozny, Vasily Pronin's film "Cossacks" was filmed, where Zinaida Kiriyenko was involved in the title role. At the same time, Arkady Raikin was on tour in Grozny, whose performance was simply impossible to miss. In the evening Zinaida went to a meeting with the beautiful, not yet knowing that she would meet the most important person in her life on the way.

Valery Tarasevsky was also involved in the filming of the film in the crowd, which recruited young sports boys. They met on the way to Raikin's concert, exchanged a few phrases, and after the performance, each quietly dispersed in his own direction.

The young man was handsome and serious, but Zinaida soon forgot to think about him. But he could no longer forget about her. He just began to appear in her field of vision. Either she will drop into the hotel to have a few words, then appear on the banks of the Terek, where she rests between filming, then she will give a twig, which everyone forgot about during the preparation. And the actress got used to being around all the time. They began to walk together in the evenings, talking about everything in the world.

Zinaida had no idea that her new acquaintance was only 17 years old, he was so serious and wise in his reasoning about life and the future.

Two weddings

The longer the actress talked with Valery, the more she was attracted to this young man. His touching caring attitude, his restraint in the expression of feelings. She was only embarrassed by the big age difference. But then her mother came to her aid. When her daughter told her about her doubts, the wise mother only asked if she loved him. Mom, who did not know a special joy in love, sincerely wished her daughter a simple female happiness.

Ida, as the actress was called at home, made a fateful decision for herself: to be happy, not paying attention to the opinions of others. And she never regretted her choice.

During the filming, the actress left for Moscow for several days, and upon her return she was accommodated in another room in the hotel. Old, uncomfortable, no renovation. Valery, seeing in what squalor his beloved was forced to live, resolutely took her out of the hotel and brought her to his aunt. The young man's relatives treated her very cordially.

The first wedding was played in the house of Valery's grandmother. A year later, when Valery turns 18, they will celebrate another, already official wedding. Soon, their first son, Timur, will be born, and the young husband will go to the army, give the Motherland a military duty.

Woman's happiness

Zinaida was happy. Despite the fact that she had to work hard, taking on all the responsibilities of financially supporting the family, she never complained. After hard filming at home, a loving husband was waiting for her, tenderly caring for his wife. After the army, he finished his studies at the Faculty of Economics and constantly fiddled with his son while his star wife was busy with work.

Of course, there were some complications. Many people liked the beauty Zinaida. However, she considered it unacceptable for herself, being married, to respond to the courtship of fans. Another refusal of the actress to pay attention to a respectable official, who liked her, led to the fact that she was included in the black list of actresses. She was no longer offered leading roles, she was not invited to serious projects.

But no one ever heard her complaints. She did what she thought was the only possible: she protected herself and her feelings from vulgarity and filth. Zinaida Kirienko loved and respected her husband, not considering it possible even in her thoughts to deceive his trust and stain her feelings with betrayal. Nor did she ever give the name of the person who tried to ruin her career. She believed that only God could judge him.

Quiet house

Interrupting with secondary roles, Zinaida Kirienko earned concerts. No bureaucratic instructions could take away the people's love from her, and she invariably gathered full houses wherever she performed.

And at home the same quiet happiness awaited her. In 1968, the couple had a second son, Maxim. Valery Tarasevsky turned out to be a wonderful father. He worked with children tirelessly, healed all their childhood illnesses, cooked porridge for them, taught them to be men.

Perhaps the husband of Zinaida Kirienko did not reach particular heights. But he managed to make his beloved woman happy, built a house, raised wonderful sons. Colleagues and friends of Zinaida Kirienko treated him with great respect. And Rimma Markova, who lived next door, even jokingly chided him that she could not wait for him to go to her, Rimma. Zinaida only smiled, listening to her friend's complaints. She knew for sure: Valera was destined for her by fate, and you cannot escape fate.

Loneliness

It was always good for them to be together, in their quiet, cozy home. An amazing harmony reigned in their relationship. There was no need to argue, prove, convince, because they understood each other perfectly. All the more acutely Zinaida Kiriyenko feels the aching loneliness after the death of her husband. Children have grown up, they have their own families, not only grandchildren are growing up, but also great-grandchildren.

But still, she desperately lacks the support, love and care of her husband, whose heart stopped beating too early. She sought solace in her work, but when she went on stage to read poetry, the actress could hardly hold back her tears. Her wound has not healed until now. Probably because it was true love, without which it is almost impossible to live.

Zinaida Kirienko is a strong woman, she was able to come to terms with her pain and continue to live. For the sake of children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren. But she will never be able to forget her only love, her happiness - Valery Tarasevsky.

Zinaida Kirienko, in spite of everything, was able to realize herself both as a woman and as an actress. But by whose fault did she disappear from the screens for a long time?
