In the artistic environment, they said about Vsevolod Abdulov that he was the kindest person not only in the theater, but in the whole world. He simply shone with happiness when he could somehow help a person, give him a drop of his attention, warmth, joy. In his life there were many meetings, but many goodbyes. And he could not keep his first feelings. There was only one person in his life to whom he remained faithful from the moment of the first meeting until the last breath.

The path to the dream

He grew up in a creative environment, and therefore his path was predetermined by the very fact of his birth. Osip Naumovich, Vsevolod's father, was a People's Artist of the RSFSR, and his mother, Elizaveta Moiseevna, left her acting career only when she got married.

Osip Naumovich mainly worked on the radio, participated in radio shows, and rehearsals were held directly within the walls of the Abdulovs' house. Faina Ranevskaya and Rostislav Plyatt have been here, as well as many actors and people of creative professions.

It is quite natural that in such an environment young Seva already imagined himself an actor. The theatrical stage beckoned him, and by his youth his dreams took on quite tangible outlines, and Vsevolod, at the age of 17, submitted documents to all the theatrical universities in the capital. And he was even enrolled in a few. Abdulov had the minimum chances of admission when he entered the Moscow Art Theater School. Ironically, it was here that he sought to enter, it was with this school that he pinned his hopes for the future.

It was during the admission to the Moscow Art Theater that the fateful meeting of Vsevolod Abdulov and Vladimir Vysotsky took place. For some reason, the senior student Vysotsky immediately drew attention to this particular applicant, with him he shared the intricacies of the acting profession, he worked with him before the next qualifying round. Thanks to Vysotsky, Vsevolod became a student of the coveted Moscow Art Theater School. And the real male friendship of the two actors lasted a lifetime.

Vsevolod enjoyed success with girls, fell in love with a handsome young man. In his freshman year, he met his first wife, Natasha Grigorieva.

Beginning and the end

Their romance was impetuous, very quickly the young lovers got married, and at the age of 18 they had a daughter, Julia. Natasha and the baby lived outside the city at that time, and Vsevolod turned out to be an extremely responsible and caring father. Despite the enormous workload at the Studio School, every day, despite the fatigue and weather, the young dad went to his wife and daughter, took them food, sat with Yulia.

The actor's daughter proudly says that she had the most beautiful and youngest parents. It seemed that this happiness would never end. But Yulia was only 2 years old when Natalia and Vsevolod broke up. He just came to his wife and said that he fell in love with another.

At the same time, he found such words that he could remain a friend for his first love for life. And to maintain an incredible relationship with his daughter, whom he simply adored. Julia, however, answered him in full reciprocity.

After the divorce, he often took his daughter from the kindergarten, walked with her, and then took her home to her mother. Yulia recalled how, at the age of 5, dad was very disappointed when the teacher's daughter complained about her. Vsevolod then said that he did not understand how to beat a girl. Okay, if it was a boy or even two. The next day, Julia beat two boys, and Vsevolod was summoned to the manager. He did not scold his daughter, because he himself, in fact, allowed her to punish the offenders. Their touching friendship and tender mutual love between father and daughter were preserved even when Julia became an adult. She often and for a long time lived with her father, she was happy to accompany him on the set, but she herself graduated from the Faculty of Foreign Languages, not wanting to become the successor of the Abdulov dynasty of acting.

Vsevolod Osipovich, recalling his first experience of family life, admitted: then he did not have enough maturity, experience, seriousness to appreciate the value of family and family relations. But the passion for life and new impressions was overflowing.

The main person in life

Vsevolod Abdulov often fell in love in general. By his own admission, he was married five or six times, without separating officially registered and civil marriages. And with all his women, he managed to remain on friendly terms.

But there was a man in his life whom he loved more than all his women. Vladimir Vysotsky is Vsevolod Abdulov's best friend and closest person. They were connected by almost kinship feelings for each other. But they remained even more than brothers. Vsevolod Osipovich even said that he would die the very next day after his friend was gone. After the death of Vysotsky, Vsevolod once said to his daughter: "I had nothing to live with …"

He passed away 22 years and 3 days after his friend left. Vsevolod Adbulov was at the Vysotsky Memorial Day on July 25, 2002, and the very next day he was taken by an ambulance, he died on July 27.
