Almost three years ago, the talented actress and director Vera Glagoleva passed away. She lived a colorful life, leaving behind a rich creative legacy in the form of acting in films and several directorial projects.
The actress’s departure was a huge loss for cinema and for all fans of Vera Vitalievna’s original talent. But there are also three daughters of the actress and director who carefully preserve the memory of their mother, trying to be worthy heirs of her talent.
Two marriages - three daughters
Vera Glagoleva.
Vera Glagoleva first saw her first husband Rodion Nakhapetov at a private screening, and after that she was offered to play along with the actor during a screen test for the role of the main character in the film “To the End of the World.” Before this, the girl had not thought about an acting career at all, she was passionate about sports, was keenly interested in art, but never intended to enter a theater institute. At the audition, Vera Glagoleva was so organic and natural in the frame that she was immediately given the role of the heroine.

This accident largely determined her entire future life. The romantic relationship between the young actress and the director led to a wedding, two daughters were born into the family: Anna in 1978, and Maria 4 years later. The actress was happy, but her marriage lasted only 12 years.

Rodion Nakhapetov, who set off to conquer America, met another woman in the USA. When the director’s wife found out about her husband’s relationship with Natalya Shlyapnikoff, she did not stop him, she only tried to smooth out the consequences of the divorce for her daughters, maintaining friendly relations with her ex-husband for their sake.
In 1992, she met businessman Kirill Shubsky, who became her second husband. A year later, the actress’s youngest daughter, Anastasia Shubskaya, was born.

Vera Glagoleva acted a lot, and later began to try herself in directing. She made her first film in the early 1990s, but it was released only many years later. The actress tried not to advertise her personal life and never spoke about her own problems in interviews, preferring to answer questions about creativity.

The fact that Vera Glagoleva was seriously ill became known only after her departure. She passed away at the age of 61, having suffered from stomach cancer. The daughters of Vera Glagoleva say that time has not smoothed out or healed their pain; even today they desperately miss their mother, her tenderness, love and understanding.
Vera Glagoleva: sincere, pure and... unique
Once upon a time, actress Vera Glagoleva
She said to herself: “My whole life is a natural accident.”
Indeed, much in her fate was decided by chance, but everything about her seemed to be predetermined from above. The daughter of teachers and a native Muscovite, Vera never thought about becoming an artist. The girl was a master of sports in archery and performed as part of the Moscow youth team, and after school she entered the Institute of Physical Education. But a chance meeting
with actor and director
Rodion Nakhapetov
changed her life.
It's been three years since the actress has been with us. We invite you to remember the works of Vera Glagoleva and watch the programs of the Rossiya 1
.
Glagoleva acted a lot in films, but she had no acting education
.
In her youth, she often came to Mosfilm, where her friend worked, and one day the filmmakers paid attention to her: the assistant advised the young director Rodion Nakhapetov to try the girl in his film “To the End of the World...”
.
After this film, success came to Glagoleva, and a year later she became Nakhapetov’s wife. The couple lived together for 12 years
- these were happy years, as Vera thought then.
But in 1989, Rodion went to work in the USA, where he found another woman. When Glagoleva once again came to visit him in America, her husband met her at the airport. She remembered for the rest of her life that he stood with a bouquet of flowers, but did not look her in the eyes. And then she realized that everything was over between them...

Anna Nakhapetova
Anna Nakhapetova.
The actress's eldest daughter has always been a creative child. Of all the possible types of creativity, Anna chose ballet. At the same time, she was not afraid of either excessive loads or the strict diet that she had to adhere to. The little girl persistently pursued her dream: first she studied at the ballet studio at the Palace of Pioneers, later she entered the Leningrad Choreographic School, from where she then transferred to the Moscow Choreographic School, where she studied with Sofia Golovkina. After receiving her diploma, Anna Nakhapetova was accepted into the Bolshoi Theater troupe.

Back in 2006, Anna Nakhapetova married actor Yegor Simachev, with whom she gave birth to a daughter, Polina.

She designed books and began painting. Currently working in computer graphics.

After breaking up with him, Maria returned to Russia and married a second time to an entrepreneur. Together with her husband, Maria is raising two sons, Kirill and Miron, born in 2007 and 2012, respectively.
Anastasia Shubskaya
Anastasia Shubskaya.
The girl was born in the actress’s second marriage to businessman Kirill Shubsky. Anastasia grew up beautiful and dreamed of an acting career, but her mother, who knew about all the hardships of this profession, dissuaded her youngest daughter from entering theater school. But she did not interfere with her daughter’s attempts to become a model and approved Anastasia’s decision to enter the production department of VGIK. Anastasia starred in several films, including “The Ferris Wheel,” directed by Vera Glagoleva herself.

In 2020, Anastasia met the famous hockey player Alexander Ovechkin. They got married in 2020, got married a year later, and already in 2020 became parents, their first-born Sergei was born. And at the end of May 2020, their family grew by one more person, Ilya, the second son of Anastasia and Alexander Ovechkin, was born.
Anastasia and Alexander
Young, handsome and rich Alexander Ovechkin was a desired groom for many girls. At one time he dated Maria Kirilenko (a famous tennis player), the couple even announced their engagement, but soon the young people separated. In the spring of 2020, Alexander met Nastya Shubskaya, and in September they announced their engagement. About a year later, namely on August 28, the couple registered their marriage, but their magnificent wedding took place much later, in the summer of 2020. Having dozens of opportunities to organize a celebration in any country in the world, Sasha and Nastya decided that the most important event in their lives should take place in their homeland. A restaurant in Barvikha was chosen as the venue. At her daughter’s wedding, Vera Glagoleva and her husband looked unusually happy. The actress was already seriously ill, but did not betray her condition in any way. She laughed, danced, joked. This was on July 8, and on August 16, the actress died in a hospital in Baden-Baden.
Memory of the Heart
Vera Glagoleva and her daughters.
Twice a year, all three daughters of Vera Glagoleva publish photographs of their mother on their pages on social networks. On the birthday and day of departure of a talented actress and closest person. They admit that even three years later they have not stopped missing their wise, kind, understanding mother. They still miss her.

After all, it was thanks to Vera Glagoleva that their family turned out to be so friendly. They try to meet more often, despite their busy schedules, celebrate important events together, and take their children with them to meetings. It is very important for them that the family remains as united as it was under their mother.
Another betrayal
The daughters of Vera Glagoleva and their husbands always admired the way Kirill treated his wife and tried to follow his example. It seemed to everyone that Vera was serenely happy. But her second marriage was also not without troubles. Her beloved and loving Kirill, while in America, began an affair with a young gymnast Svetlana Khorkina. As a result of their relationship, a boy, Svyatoslav, was born. So Anastasia Shubskaya has a blood brother. True, the Glagolev family does not maintain relations with him. Did Vera know about her husband's betrayal? Of course, she knew, since the media wrote about it. But she again showed wisdom and willpower, saving her family.
