A novel by Proklova and Yanovsky. Elena Proklova: I had affairs with Mironov, Yankovsky and Tabakov, but my husband is better! “I was in Oleg’s heart until his last days”

“I regret money on clothes, not on healthy food!”

“When you go on stage, you always feel healthy,” shares 64-year-old Proklova. - All diseases disappear immediately! And this despite the fact that the play in which I am currently playing is very difficult. Today we rehearsed for a long time. Consider that we worked for two performances.

– You are in great shape! How do you support yourself?

– It is important to drink good water from sources, preferably holy ones. At least two liters per day. I do exercises and try to always be in a good mood, no matter what happens! Proper nutrition is one of the most serious topics in my life. I spare money on clothes, but I will never skimp on healthy food. I prefer decent plant-based food, preferably grown in my own garden.

– Do you have your own garden?

– I am an avid gardener, gardener and florist. I love the earth. The philosopher Cicero once said that the person who has a library and a garden is a priori happy. And I have both.

-What kind of housewife are you?

– My zodiac sign is Virgo, that’s why the housewife is very boring, punctual, everything has to be in its place. Maybe my loved ones grumble a little because of this, but I get such a thrill when everything is well-groomed. I treat things the same way as living beings, respecting the amount of time spent by many people on their production. Therefore, I try to use every thing until it becomes old and useless, after which I try to make something new out of it, and give it to someone.

The death of three children and affairs with married colleagues in the life of Elena Proklova

On September 2, Elena Proklova turns 67, but this age is just a number in the passport for the youthful and slender actress. Elena Igorevna goes in for sports, monitors her diet and does not neglect cosmetic procedures and plastic surgery in order to remain attractive.

The artist’s magnetism is legendary: in her youth she could conquer any man, regardless of status and age. The list of famous fans of Proklova includes Oleg Tabakov, Mihai Volontir and Oleg Yankovsky. True, the question of which of these novels existed in reality and which were just a myth remains open.

The public has repeatedly condemned the star for his turbulent past, in particular for his affairs with married colleagues. But Elena Igorevna never became the reason for her lovers’ divorces, subtly feeling the moment when it was time to put an end to the forbidden relationship. In addition, fate prepared a severe test for the actress for her sins... What did the famous artist have to endure?

STAR ROLES

Since childhood, Elena was surrounded by people from the world of science and art: her mother worked as a teacher, her father taught at the military-political academy, and his parents served as actors in the theater. However, her relatives did not imagine that the girl would choose a career as an artist: from the age of four she was engaged in gymnastics, and by the age of 11 she became a master of sports.

It was then that an event occurred that changed Proklova’s life forever. Her grandfather was the second director of Alexander Mitta’s film “They’re calling, open the door” and was responsible for casting the actors. A family friend assured Viktor Proklov to show his granddaughter Mitte, but he was adamant: they say that the girl is far from cinema and is busy with studies and sports. Then the friend himself brought Elena to Alexander Naumovich, and as a result she received the role of Tanya Nechaeva.

The profession captured Proklova, she had to quit sports and finish school as an external student, because offers for filming came one after another. Could a 12-year-old girl refuse the role of Gerda in The Snow Queen? It was as if she had been transported into a fairy tale: a carriage, ancient outfits, magical characters. On the other hand, Elena felt incredibly lonely.

“The filming took place in Leningrad and Uzhgorod, in a year I only saw my parents twice. Of course, my lovely great-grandmother Victoria Frantsevna was with me, but I wanted to go to my dad and mom,” the actress said about the difficulties.

After another successful film, “Adolescent Age,” the girl was invited to the film “Shine, Shine, My Star.” Oleg Tabakov turned out to be a filming partner, and the young artist fell seriously in love for the first time. “He was unhappy in love with me. From the inability to realize these feelings. I seriously fell in love with a 15-year-old girl, and he is over 30, and two children, a dead end,” the star admitted years later.

Proklova did not destroy the family, realizing that the relationship with Tabakov was doomed to failure. To drown out her feelings for the master, the actress married documentarian Vitaly Melik-Karamov. The decision was hasty, and in the end, even the birth of Arina’s daughter did not save the family from divorce.

The artist had no time to be sad about her broken marriage: after maternity leave, entrusting the care of the child to her parents, she continued to act in films. “Sentimental Romance”, “Mimino”, “Dog in the Manger”, “The Captain’s Daughter” - many colleagues envied the star’s repertoire. Plus, after graduating from university, she became an actress at the Moscow Art Theater.

“Be my husband”, “Remember me like this”, “The Perfect Crime” - until the end of the 80s, Proklova shone on the screen in popular films. The next decade was marked by a period of downtime for her, but in the 2000s the star returned to work in films and appeared on television. So, in 2002 and 2020, she participated in the “The Last Hero” project, for four years she was a co-host of the “Malakhov+” program, and in 2010 - “Housing and Communal Services” of Channel One.

Now the actress is selective about roles and rarely acts, paying more attention to the theater. Spectators are happy to come to the performances of the famous artist, noting that she has retained not only her talent, but also her youthful appearance. Proklova considers a healthy lifestyle to be the main secrets of beauty, however, she could not do without surgical intervention, which significantly changed her facial features. Experts noted that most likely the star had blepharoplasty, correcting her eyebrow line and lips.

“I had a facelift when I was 47 years old,” commented Elena Igorevna. - And nothing more! It’s probably time: we should remove the “nasolabials” and correct the oval a little... But I can’t find a gap in the work.”

REVELATIONS ABOUT PERSONAL LIFE

Of course, Oleg Tabakov was far from the only master who fell under Proklova’s spell. But how far did the actress go in affairs with married men? Several years ago, she openly spoke about relationships with several Russian film stars in the “Live Broadcast” program. As part of the program, the artist wanted to ask for forgiveness from the widows of her former lovers, which not all viewers and colleagues considered appropriate.

According to Elena, despite her marital status, Andrei Mironov and Mihai Volontir looked after her. The latter’s wife did not believe Proklova’s stories: having lived with her husband for half a century, she did not doubt his love and infallibility.

“My husband was handsome, women liked him, but family was the main thing for him. Proklova is proud of her turbulent personal life, and this does not make her look good. After the death of my husband, she decided to talk about the affair, to denigrate him. Why was she silent when he was alive? Mihai would not have allowed her to spread dirty gossip,” Efrosinya Dobynde-Volontir was indignant.

Perhaps the most scandalous story connected the artist with Oleg Yankovsky, the relationship with whom began after the filming of “A Sentimental Affair” and lasted about four years. The actress at that time had already divorced her first husband, but Yankovsky was married to Lyudmila Zorina. Proklova was friends with Zorina, knew her son, so she could not continue her affair with Yankovsky for long. The situation was aggravated by Elena's pregnancy from her lover. In order not to break someone else's family, she had an abortion.

“It was an incredibly interesting, beautiful, kind relationship, but I still perceived Yankovsky as a stranger. I had a long period when I lived freely and for myself, but I did not destroy my family,” Proklova emphasized in the “Fate of a Man” program.

Even then, Elena formed a clear principle: to give birth only to legitimate husbands. She met her second husband at the clinic - doctor Alexander Deryabin cured the actress’s daughter, and soon won not only the trust, but also the love of the star. The artist became pregnant with twins, but it all ended in tragedy. “The twins were born, but were not viable, my thick blood is to blame for this,” Proklova explained.

The marriage could not withstand the ordeal, and the star was left alone again. Only three years later, Elena Proklova decided on another marriage, but even there new losses awaited her.

PATH TO FREEDOM

Businessman Andrei Trishin was eight years younger, but seemed wise and reliable. The relationship with him saved Elena from depression associated with the death of her sons and divorce. Soon after the wedding, the actress became pregnant, but her dreams of giving her lover a child turned into a new disaster: the boy died shortly after birth.

“Thank you Andrey. Unlike Sasha, during this grief he did not let me out of his arms, did not even say anything, he held me. He didn’t let me throw myself under the train, literally, I waited a long time, stubbornly, patiently. The problem was still the same: thick blood, then they didn’t test for this,” the star recalled.

Proklova was not afraid of difficulties and later made a new attempt to conceive. The pregnancy was difficult, and due to the threat of miscarriage, hormonal therapy had to be used. But the result was worth it - a daughter, Polina, appeared in the family.

“When she was born, only one room in our country house was decorated, but everyone was happy,” said Proklova. “But Andrei turned out to be a zero father: he was afraid to even take the baby in his arms.”

The further, the more Elena realized that she and her husband were not suitable for each other. “We should have separated just a month after the wedding: we didn’t connect all the time, this wheel rotated solely with the help of our patience, desire, love and sexual relationship, but in fact we are completely different,” the actress lamented.

On paper, the marriage lasted 30 years, although the spouses' relationship began to crack in the late 90s, when Andrei had an affair with a 15-year-old neighbor. As a result, the romance ended, but Trishin failed to restore harmony in the family after the betrayal. “And I cheated until we were married, after I learned about Andrei’s infidelity from his colleagues,” Proklova did not hide.

Oddly enough, communication between the spouses did not stop after the divorce; for a long time they even continued to live under the same roof. Later, Andrei Trishin began building a new cottage for Proklova in Sochi. According to the actress, her ex-husband remained a close friend to her, ready to help in a difficult situation.

In the new house, the artist has a large workshop for icon painting, which she plans to devote to in her old age. Proklova also hopes that life will give her a bright role that can be compared in scale to her earlier films. But the actress doesn’t think about love, noting that courtship is a thing of the past, and you also need to be able to enjoy freedom.

“It’s better not to court me in any way, because it’s unlikely that there will be a man who can add something to my life. And I can hardly give him something so exclusive that didn’t exist before,” the star concluded. “I’m such a happy person that, in principle, I don’t know the word “regret.” I believe that everything that happened in my life was sent by fate. So this is correct."

The relationship between the famous actors Yankovsky and Proklova would have remained a secret to the whole world if Elena Proklova had not recently boasted about her actor lovers, most of whom were married, in one of her television shows. Oleg Yankovsky occupied a special place on the list - Proklova was even expecting a child from him.

In 1976, Elena Proklova left Moscow for Leningrad to film the film “Sentimental Romance,” in which she played the girl Zoya. This was not her first film work, but her brightest roles were yet to come. Meanwhile, she already had life experience behind her.

“You are my destiny!”

At 23 years old, actress Elena Proklova managed to get married, give birth to a daughter and get divorced. At the time she met Yankovsky, she had no time for romances or new gentlemen, although the beauty always had enough admirers. But after a difficult divorce, Elena decided to plunge headlong into work. This was the last day of filming. During the break, she dropped into the buffet for a cup of coffee. I couldn’t afford more: I had to watch my figure. The girl found a free table with her eyes and headed towards it, when she suddenly came across a tall man. She looked up - yes, it’s Oleg Yankovsky! My heart began to beat wildly. After the film “Shield and Sword” Yankovsky was a real sex symbol - all the women were literally thrilled and swooned from him.

“God, how amazing you are! - Yankovsky said with a breath, looking down at Elena. “You are my destiny!”

Probably, if she had not been holding the saucer, he would have kissed her hand. The girl wanted to jump for joy and throw herself on his neck. But instead she said coldly: “I don’t think so...” And went home. Later she was informed that with this catchphrase Yankovsky met all the pretty women.

Yankovsky was dumbfounded. He is handsome and charming, a famous artist, finally! He later admitted to friends: “Then I was seriously offended. I’m used to the fact that any woman blossomed after my compliments!” Unable to bear the insult, Oleg went from the buffet straight to the administrator, who was distributing tickets. She definitely melted under the actor’s charm and fulfilled his request: she gave him a train ticket next to Elena Proklova’s seat.

In the evening, when the entire film crew arrived at the station to return to Moscow, Elena was surprised to find the handsome man from the buffet in her compartment. There were no other passengers near them.

In the film “Sentimental Romance,” prosecutor Gorodnitsky, played by Yankovsky, falls in love with Zoya, played by Proklova. Gorodnitsky is married, but invites Zoya to live with his family. It's like the writers squawked.

The romance between Yankovsky and Proklova began in that very compartment. Elena was not embarrassed either by the fact that Oleg was nine years older than her, or by the fact that he was officially married and raising a son. She treated the casual affair as entertainment. She even liked that her lover was married: that meant he wouldn’t ask her to marry her. Later, Proklova admitted that she specifically chose unfree lovers.

Oleg looked after her very beautifully: he gave flowers and unusual gifts, arranged surprises, and flew thousands of kilometers to Elena for filming. Sometimes they went to film festivals or tours together and then they were truly happy. They themselves did not notice how their relationship turned from an innocent affair into a strong feeling. “It was serious love, both on my part and on his,” Elena recalled.

Pangs of conscience

One day, Elena brought her daughter Arisha to the skating rink and met there the actress Lyudmila Zorina, Yankovsky’s legal wife. She also brought their son Philip ice skating. The women met their gaze, and Elena suddenly realized: “She knows!” Lyudmila said hello and came over to chat. She really knew about the affair between Proklova and Yankovsky, as well as about her husband’s other hobbies. But she treated them calmly: she was sure that Oleg would never leave him and his son. Elena liked Zorina both as a woman and as an actress. They met many more times, took the children to an ice cream parlor together. Elena saw how Lyudmila loved her husband, and Filippok simply adored his father! Well, how can she take it away from them? The role of a mistress and homewrecker made the young blonde suffer from remorse.

And one day Elena realized that she was pregnant. She told Yankovsky about this, as well as the fact that she did not plan to have children, much less raise them without a father. She needs to think about her daughter and her career. Oleg was not surprised by this news, as if he had been waiting for it from the first day they met. He wanted this child and begged his beloved to leave him, he was ready to kneel. But Elena has already decided everything. This was not the first abortion in her life - she kept the phone number of a trusted doctor just in case. The procedure was scheduled for September 2, Proklova’s birthday. Oleg went with her and stood under the windows the whole time. He hoped to the last that Elena would change her mind. But this did not happen. Yankovsky never promised anything to Elena and could not force her to raise a child alone. “He forgave me, but what could he do? He knew that he had no right to a second family...” said the actress. That birthday was the most terrible day of her life.

For a long time, Elena convinced herself that she was not to blame for anything: she sincerely and strongly loved Oleg, but circumstances were against it. Yankovsky also loved her very much - for him it was not just adultery. Who knows, maybe he would have left his wife for Elena and their fates would have turned out differently. But Proklova again decided everything herself. She must step on her own feelings and break up with her married lover. The conversation was not easy. “I did it cruelly, overnight and painfully for him,” Elena later admitted in an interview. Years later, she spoke candidly about their relationship on a TV show. And she asked Yankovsky’s wife for forgiveness for the broken family - Oleg himself was no longer alive at that time. But can words really fix anything?..

Oleg Yankovsky took the break with Proklova very painfully. He refused to talk to her and began to avoid meetings. They say that Elena wanted to annoy her former lover so much that she even started an affair with his nephew, actor Igor Yankovsky, with whom she starred in the film “Dove” in 1978.

"We did the right thing..."

Many years later, in January 2008, Oleg Yankovsky and Elena Proklova finally met. The sad occasion - the funeral of Alexander Abdulov - made them forget past grievances and talk frankly. For the first time since the breakup. “We talked and told a lot about who had experienced it. And we were very grateful to each other that we did just that,” says the actress. A year later, Oleg Yankovsky also passed away. The 65-year-old actor was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at the last stage - there was no chance of recovery...

“I think that until the last days I occupied a place in his heart,” admitted Elena Proklova. After her affair with Yankovsky, she had relationships with Andrei Mironov, Oleg Tabakov and other famous actors. Elena did not give up trying for a happy family life - she got married a second and third time, gave birth to a second daughter, Polina. But all the men in her life could not compare with Oleg Yankovsky.

“Sometimes I think: do I even know what love is? — Proklova confesses. — It seems that I fell in love, and romances happened - fabulous, stormy, beautiful. And ask me now: what is love? I won't answer. I guess I don’t know how to love..."

UNDER THE SAME ROOF

The personal life of Elena Proklova was very stormy. She married three times. Her husbands over the years were the director Vitaly Melik-Karamov, the famous herbal healer Alexander Deryabin, and her third husband was the architect Andrei Trishin. Despite the fact that they also divorced, the former spouses continue to live under the same roof.

Why Elena Proklova was called the main homewrecker of Soviet cinema

33-year-old Tabakov then reciprocated with the young actress, although he was married . According to Proklova’s recollections, their feelings were sincere, but she soon realized that this relationship needed to end somehow. Largely for this reason, 2 years later Elena married documentary director Vitaly Melik-Karamov .

Marriage

Elena gave birth to a daughter, Arina, but the marriage lasted only 4 years . mother took up raising little Arina , and the young actress herself concentrated on her career . Proklova will be able to establish a relationship with her daughter only many years later, when Arina has already matured.

Yankovsky

A year later, a new man appeared in Elena’s life. On the set of the film "Sentimental Affair" she began a love relationship with the married Oleg Yankovsky . The end of their relationship came only when Proklova became pregnant. Yankovsky asked to keep the child, but the woman had an abortion.

“Seeing how Oleg was loved by his wife and family, I realized that we had to put an end to it... Just before he left... we talked to him, told each other how we survived our situation... I think he forgave me . ”

Romance with Mironov

Proklova's next famous man was Andrei Mironov . He fell in love with Elena on the set of Be My Husband . According to Elena herself, actors who play love in front of cameras often transfer feelings into life. This is what happened in the case of Mironov.

Soon wife suspected something and came to Sochi to the film set. But by that time, Proklova was already dating the married Mosfilm artist Alexander Adamovich. Elena Proklova lived with him for 2 years , after which Adamovich returned to the family.

Proklova no longer acts in films, but periodically appears on television . The beauty of Soviet cinema still has many fans. And many of them notice that despite her years, Elena remains an incredibly beautiful woman. Who knows, maybe Elena will still have the chance to star in some new film...

Andrey Mironov Elena Proklova love of tobacco

“EVERYTHING WAS DONE RIGHT WITH OLEG”

Proklova has not yet spoken about the new man. But suddenly, for some reason, she revealed the secrets of the past. She never hid the fact that there were losses in her life: three children died immediately after giving birth. Two daughters, thank God, are alive and well. But it turns out that the actress had four more children. And they all died unborn. True, Elena does not consider abortion a great sin. Rather, it was a forced measure.

“I had a serious love with Oleg Yankovsky. From my side, from his,” Proklova opened up on one of the recent TV shows. The passion, according to her recollections, was so strong that the lovers were ready to run to the ends of the earth. But bad luck - Yankovsky was married for a long time and firmly.

He had a magnificent wife, whom he loved and appreciated, and I often communicated with her. The two of us decided that we had no right to hurt her by destroying the family,” Elena sighs. “That’s why when I got pregnant, I went for an abortion.

This was the second termination of pregnancy in her life. Proklova had her first abortion at the age of 17, when she was in her first year at university and had just gotten married. The grandmother decided that it was too early for her granddaughter to give birth, and took her by the hand to the doctor.

I grew up in a family where this was considered the norm. The pregnancy was two and a half months old, the deadline for termination. It was the son..."

Well, in the case of Yankovsky, she decided everything herself:

I went for this abortion on my birthday. Oleg stood under the window and asked not to do this. He wanted this child. But I had an abortion - it was cruel and painful for him. We didn’t communicate for many years afterwards. We only talked at Sasha Abdulov’s wake and decided that we had done the right thing. I think that until Yankovsky’s last days I occupied a place in his heart...
