It seems that in the whole world it was impossible to find two so different people. Introverted, closed, sometimes even sullen Semyon Farada and cheerful, talkative and open-minded Marina Poliseymako. They both left the past outside their doorstep to start a new life. Where there was nothing before they met. And now there is only He and She.

Semyon Farada

Perhaps Semyon Ferdman (Farad's pseudonym will appear much later) should not have become an actor. His dad, an artillery officer, died early, and little Semyon and Yevgeny had to be raised by the same mother. Mom was a pharmacist, it was not easy for her with two children in her arms.

Semyon did his best to help, as the eldest child and the only man in the family. He was a lively and active child, played football with pleasure, was enthusiastically engaged in a theatrical circle and at the same time was an excellent student. It seemed that a dear boy who, with an imperturbable look, brings the surrounding to irrepressible laughter only by his appearance on the school stage, will definitely go on studying in this very direction. Only now my mother took the word from Senya that he would get a normal profession.

After graduation, he applied to the Academy of Armored Forces, wanting to continue his father's work. But the Jewish surname was the reason for the refusal. Fate itself pushed him to the theater. However, Semyon Ferdman gave his mother his word. And he gave the documents to the Bauman Institute. And then they did not want to take it. Having admitted to the exams, the examiners themselves added mistakes in the essay in Russian and gave him a two. But you need to understand what a Jewish mother is. She was able to achieve justice, her beloved Sema became a student.

But at the institute there was amateur performance, which young Semyon was very interested in. And as a result, he was expelled in his second year. He immediately left to serve in the navy. But even in the navy, Semyon continued to delight his colleagues and higher ranks with his creativity. As a result, at the end of his service, he received recommendations to Arkady Raikin and Yuri Zavadsky "to pay attention to S. L. Ferdman and to accept him into the troupe."

But on his return from the army, Semyon recovered at the institute, received the profession of an engineer and began to work in Vnukovo as a mechanical engineer. However, in parallel, he began to perform. First, in the studio theater at Moscow State University, then he went on tour from "Mosconcert". He never received theatrical education. True, this did not prevent him from performing in the theater with great success, and then acting in films. But he met his fate in the theater.

Marina Policeimako

Marina was born into the family of a leading actor of the Bolshoi Drama Theater in Leningrad, her mother was a pop actress. Thanks to her father, the girl had two names at once. Officially, the daughter was named Marina, but dad called her Masha or Maka. And so it turned out that she is both Marina and Maria at the same time. From the very birth, Marina was imbued with an atmosphere of creativity, so the problem of choosing a profession was not before her. Immediately after graduating from the Shchukin School, she began working at the Taganka Theater.

A young, energetic, talented girl very harmoniously entered the theater troupe, she soon became a leading character actress.

And then Marina got married, gave birth to a son and, it seemed, nothing else would change in her fate. There will be a favorite work and family. But life disposed of in a completely different way, preparing for her a meeting with an amazing person.

Love behind the scenes

The acquaintance of Semyon Farada and Marina Poliseimako did not foreshadow any unexpected turns in their fates. He and she were not free by this moment. But love does not look at the stamp in the passport. She just comes in and makes two people happy.

Marina from the moment she met was fascinated by this little man with sad eyes. He did not speak beautiful words, he did not arrange enchanting courtship. But he was a real man. It was felt in him at first sight. And his seriousness combined with reliability and inimitable sense of humor could conquer anyone.

Semyon, who had already experienced two unsuccessful civil marriages before meeting Marina, was very afraid to make a mistake again. He was madly drawn to this woman with huge expressive eyes and a kind smile.

For a while, they tried to resist their feelings. But love cannot be defeated. And Semyon finally proposed to Marina. Ultimate. As Marina recalls, she was even offended at first. He told her that he really needed her. Warmly said. So that the heart stopped from tenderness. And then he said that he would marry her if she gave him a son. Much later, Marina realized that he was in a hurry. He was already more than forty, he has no children, and he dreamed so much of a son, an heir, his continuation.

Being a father is a real calling

Marina at the age of 38 gave birth to her beloved Sema, a son, Mikhail. She could not even imagine what kind of father her beloved would be. Gentle, caring, attentive, anxious. He devoted every free minute to his treasure. He ran in between rehearsals in the dairy kitchen, he played with it, carried it in his arms, could not breathe. For three years he “did not take Misha off his lips,” by his own definition.

Marina, looking at this idyll, understood that her father simply could not be better. However, he also turned out to be an exemplary husband. He also treated his wife tenderly and reverently, he was ready to pray for his Madonna, who not only made him happy, but also made his dream of a son come true.

In sorrow and in joy, in wealth and in poverty, in sickness and in health …

In the summer of 2000, trouble struck the family. Semyon Farada, acutely worried about the death of his friend Grigory Gorin, suffered a stroke. After that, the great artist, the sad clown could not get up. For nine years he was bedridden. And next to him was always his beloved. She did exercises with him, made him talk and even sing.

And now the son Misha did not let his dad out of his lips. He worked for three to pay for his dad's treatment so that now he does not need anything. He was eager to live all the time, sincerely believed in what would rise. But on August 20, 2009, Semyon Lvovich died. Marina Vitalievna was with her husband to the end, as she had once promised "in grief and joy."

Semyon Farada and Marina Poliseimako were happy for 35 years. And here Alain Delon and Romy Schneider they did not save their love.
