In 1940, in the life of Alexander Vertinsky, a famous by that time artist, singer, composer and emigrant, the most important meeting in his life took place, which abruptly changed his life - he met the love of his life, which gave him two wonderful daughters.
After long post-revolutionary ordeals in the United States and Europe, after two refusals by the Soviet government to return to his homeland, Alexander Nikolayevich ends up in Shanghai. It was there that he met 17-year-old Lydia Tsirgava. He met and passionately fell in love with the girl. But, as Lydia Nikolaevna herself recalled, her parents were categorically against these meetings, because Vertinsky was 34 years older than their daughter, and he wrote her passionate letters.
On May 26, 1942, Lydia Tsirgava became Vertinsky's wife. A year later, they had a daughter, Marianne. Vertinsky gives two concerts a day to support his family, but after the invasion of Japanese troops into China, money is sorely lacking. Alexander Nikolaevich was forced to hand over his concert coat to a pawnshop. Before each performance, he bought the tailcoat, and after the concert he handed it over again.
In 1943, Vertinsky wrote a letter addressed to Molotov with a request to be allowed to return to the USSR. This was the third attempt. And this time, permission was obtained. In the fall, the artist with his wife and 3-month-old daughter came to Moscow. A year later, the second daughter, Anastasia, appears in the family.
Vertinsky adored his girls immensely. Vertinsky dedicated one of his most famous songs of that period to both girls - "Daughters".
It should be noted that happy "unequal" marriageswhen one of the spouses is much older than the other - not so uncommon. After all, love knows no barriers.
