Marriages of convenience are often the subject of scrutiny and gossip. Pragmatic couples, starting a family, hope not only for the fervor of feelings, but also for their own benefit. After all, the calculation is not always based on money, and the goals can be quite high. It is worth remembering that the leader of the world proletariat also married Nadezhda Krupskaya at one time, first of all appreciating her intelligence and ability to become a faithful companion.
Vladimir Ulyanov and Nadezhda Krupskaya
It is known that in 1894, when Vladimir Ulyanov and Nadezhda Krupskaya met, he was in love not with her, but with Apollinaria Yakubova. Young Nadezhda clearly sympathized with the future leader of the proletariat, but she clearly understood that it was simply pointless to compete with the spectacular Apollinaria. Nadezhda Krupskaya became a faithful companion of the lovers. When their relationship ended, Vladimir Ulyanov drew attention to the devoted Nadenka.
And soon he already made her an offer, which the girl accepted without hesitation. Ulyanov's calculation turned out to be extremely accurate. Nadezhda Konstantinovna was endlessly devoted to him, she was ready to endure any hardships of their life together. She was able to forgive the betrayal and even partly come to terms with it, she was always ready to help and even sacrifice herself if needed.
Over the years, their relationship became warmer and more trusting, and at the end of the leader's life, no one could doubt that they have real feelings for each other.

Semyon Budyonny and Olga Mikhailova
After the death of his first wife, the famous Soviet military leader very quickly married again. An affair with Olga Mikhailova, an opera singer, began long before the accident with Nadezhda Budyonna. The singer, who was 20 years younger than Budyonny, agreed to get married in the expectation of access to privileges and excesses available only to the highest party officials.
She received a longed-for beautiful life, but promiscuous contacts and visits to foreign embassies attracted the attention of the NKVD and in 1937 Olga Mikhailovna was arrested. Only after Stalin's death was the marshal able to get his wife, who had long become a former, out of prison.
Semyon and Maria Budyonny
Budyonny never lived alone and simply did not know how to deal with everyday life. And one day Maria suddenly appeared in his apartment, accompanied by her former mother-in-law. Masha, Olga Mikhailova's cousin, began to clean the house, to look after the marshal's costumes. And soon I heard an offer from him. Semyon Mikhailovich counted on help with the housework, and Masha, being almost 40 years younger than the famous military leader, hoped for a comfortable life in normal conditions.
The expectations of both were justified, Maria became not only a wonderful wife, but also a caring mother of three children. Semyon Mikhailovich tenderly took care of his wife, invariably took care of her and pampered her as much as he could. And love, undoubtedly, was present in this marriage, only it appeared not before, but after the marriage.
Mikhail Kozakov and Nadezhda Sedova
The news that the famous actor is marrying a girl who is almost half a century younger invariably raises suspicions of the young bride's commercialism. Unfortunately, in the marriage of Mikhail Kozakov and Nadezhda Sedykh, the conjectures were confirmed. While the famous actor was struggling with cancer, his young wife had a great time using his money. After four years of marriage, the actor called Nadezhda a swindler, claiming his Moscow apartment. And divorced her through the court.
Nikolay and Lydia Kryuchkov
When Nikolai Kryuchkov married for the third time a young modest girl - an assistant director, everyone around was gossiping about her far-reaching plans. They whispered about her in all the actors' smoking rooms, they envied her and shook their heads condemningly after her. Acquaintances began to visit the actor's house often, clearly wanting to find confirmation of their guesses.
However, they saw a completely happy, neat Nikolai Afanasyevich and Lydia, glowing with joy next to him. She endlessly grated vegetables for him, cooked diet food and was ready to do anything to save him from suffering. He just had an ulcer and the doctors' predictions were the most sad. For 32 years she was his muse and constant assistant. When the actor was awarded, he always publicly said that half of this award belongs to his Lydia.
Vera Vasilieva and Vladimir Ushakov
The actress never hid that she was getting married in the hope of getting rid of the painful relationship with Boris Ravensky. Vera Vasilyeva, after marriage, never regretted her decision. Caring, attentive and loving Vladimir Ushakov managed to surround his wife with warmth and tenderness. She herself did not notice how sincerely she fell in love with her husband. They have been happy together for over half a century.

Tatiana and Vladimir Ustinov
They met while studying at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, but there was no question of any ardent feelings at all. Tatiana was born and raised in the village of Kratovo, Moscow region, she was from a quite decent family, Vladimir arrived in the capital from Kaliningrad.
He dreamed of graduate school, but he could only count on it if he did not apply for a place in the hostel. Tatyana Ustinova had her own interest: she wanted to get married in order to forget about all the suffering that unhappy love brought her. As a result, each of them got what they wanted: he - a Moscow residence permit, she - a family with all her worries and concerns. Almost 30 years have passed since then, and today both spouses are sure: their union was doomed to success precisely because of the correct calculation.
In Soviet times, the institution of the family was given special attention, and it was considered shameful not to formalize their relationship officially. Couples who lived together without a stamp in their passports faced, in addition to conviction, numerous inconveniences: they were refused to be accommodated in hotels in the same room, they did not have any mutual rights and obligations. But even public people often did not rush to the registry office. The fate of some marriages turned out to be rather sad.
