Maria Mironova-Menaker was a domineering and tough woman. She always knew what she wanted from life, and confidently walked towards her goal. However, she knew just as well what her son Andrei Mironov needed. When he decided to marry Tatyana Egorova, Maria Vladimirovna did not accept the future daughter-in-law, and Andrei Mironov did not dare to go against his mother's will. And two women who loved the actor for many years treated each other with noticeable coolness. But the day came when Maria Mironova and Tatyana Egorova were able to make friends.

Mama

Maria Vladimirovna did not just love her son Andryusha. He was everything to her: the meaning of life, stimulus, hope. She was caring and tender with him, had a tremendous influence on him and was ready for any feats, if only her son was good. But what was good for him, of course, was best known only to herself.

Maria Mironova herself was born in 1911, and soon after her birth, a real tragedy happened in the family: the girl's five-year-old brother died. Doctors could not save Kolya from diphtheria, and the mother, who had lost her child, was afraid of a repetition of what happened all her life. Therefore, she took care of Masha, she was afraid even of a banal cold, and the slightest hint of her daughter's poor health served as a signal for action. Masha was the center of the universe for her parents, and then she became the same center for her husband, Alexander Menaker, and son Andrey.

Her word has always been the most important and most important in the family, and no one could resist the will of this strong and domineering woman in the family. Andrei Mironov once wrote in a letter: "Mommy, I will do my best not to upset you and be a decent, decent person …" He kept his promise and tried never to displease his mother. Even if it seemed to him that she was not quite right.

So it was that time when Andrei Mironov began to meet with Tatyana Egorova. Maria Vladimirovna did not approve of her candidacy, considering the girl too simple and unworthy of her brilliant son. According to Maria Mironova, the young actress, whom Andrei met during the tour of the Theater of Satire in Riga, lacked a noble birth.

So, she was called Tatiana …

Everyone learned the story of this love thanks to the book by Tatiana Egorova "Andrei Mironov and I". This was the man of her dreams, and the girl from the very rehearsal at which they first crossed paths with Andrei Mironov cherished and cherished her feelings. And she was convinced: the actor loved only her all his life, and others just accidentally appeared in his life. However, every girl in love is happy to find confirmation of her thoughts literally in every word or even look of the object of her passion.

But Maria Mironova did not even want to think about her Andryusha marrying Tatyana, which she repeatedly told her son about. When the girl lost her child, Maria Mironova sighed with relief and was able to convince her son to give up this relationship. True, Tatyana claims that their relationship actually lasted all their lives, but the lovers were forced to hide their relationship so as not to upset the actor's mother. Maria Vladimirovna categorically did not perceive Tatyana even at the time when Mironov was married first to Ekaterina Gradova, then to Larisa Golubkina. And then Andrey was gone.

Two loneliness

After the death of Andrei Mironov, they both remained very lonely. And both retained their love for him. This love reconciled the two women. During the life of the actor, they did not communicate with each other, and after his departure they could talk for hours.

Tatyana Egorova became a frequent and welcome guest in the house of Maria Vladimirovna. She quit the theater, where she worked for almost a quarter of a century, and wrote a book about the man she loved, along the way telling many unpleasant details about the actors and the morals of the Satire Theater. She suddenly had many enemies, but the failed mother-in-law was now very supportive of the actress.

Maria Mironova approved of Tatiana's departure from the theater, moreover, she even forbade the actress to go there. She was sure that her son's friend would not dare disobey her. However, Tatyana Nikolaevna did not even try to break the ban. Every year she celebrated November 2 (the day of her dismissal) as a holiday.

Maria Vladimirovna lived after the death of her son for another 10 years. And all these years there was a woman next to her whom she once denied the right to become his wife. Tatyana Egorova began to take care of the mother of her beloved, to protect her from ill-wishers, to save her from loneliness and melancholy. She even lived at Maria Vladimirovna's dacha at her own request.

Subsequently, Tatyana Egorova admitted: she and Maria Vladimirovna have many secrets that no one will ever know about. This woman chose her, and even after her departure, the actress does not intend to reveal any of them. Because she gave the floor to a woman who was the mother of her beloved man. She had a difficult character, but Tatyana Nikolaevna loved her. For strength, sincerity, authority. And for the fact that she was the mother of her Andrey, the main and best man in her life.

For each other, they became like a part of Andrei Mironov. And they were together until the very last day of Maria Vladimirovna.

The famous actor joked: "I am afraid of God, my mother and Olga Alexandrovna Aroseva." Maria Mironova remained for her son the only authority and adviser in love affairs until the end of his days. They called her the "iron lady" and it was no coincidence.
