Why Alexandra Tabakova did not come to say goodbye to her father and what action she could not forgive him

On March 15, 2018, friends, relatives and admirers of Oleg Tabakov arrived at the Chekhov Moscow Art Theatre to say goodbye to the great actor. The ceremony was attended by his second wife Marina Zudina with children Maria and Paul and a son from his first marriage, Anton. The first wife Lyudmila Krylova and her daughter Alexandra Tabakova farewell was not. According to rumors, the women could not forgive the master leaving the family.



57-year-old Alexandra Tabakova cut off all contacts with the second family of the late father and forbids her daughter, 35-year-old Polina Lifers, to communicate with children Zudina. What is the real reason for Alexandra’s broken heart?

Alexandra Tabakova Sasha was born in 1966 and became the second child in the acting dynasty. The famous father had no soul in his daughter. He always found time between filming and working in the theater to tinker and fool around with the little girl.

The girl absorbed the free creative spirit of the parent. At the same time, she was pleased with seven school successes in the field of exact sciences. Teachers were given to her non-standard way of thinking and analytical mindset. But Alexandra herself dreamed of following in her father’s footsteps. She loved the theatre and the atmosphere. Like any child of the acting family, she became friends with the children of her father and mother colleagues. She often watched rehearsals behind the scenes.

Then several small roles in the theater followed, and after graduation, the heiress Tabakova confidently submitted documents to the Moscow Art Theatre School. Her classmate Marina Zudina studied for a course younger, and Oleg Pavlovich led her acting skills.

Rumors about the affair of his father with a student hurt Sasha, although she did not give the appearance. At some point, the previously resistant and strong Tabakova Jr. realized that she could not cope with the negativity that Oleg Pavlovich was doused with. She even thought about leaving life, which she shared with the teacher Kira Golovko.



GettyImages Having received a diploma, Alexandra entered the service in the "Tabakerka", and with her Marina Zudina. The injustices fell immediately. If Zudina immediately gave the main role in the play “The Chair”, the daughter of the artist played only in episodes. Behind Sasha whispered colleagues. Meanwhile, her father told reporters about his tough decision: no patronage, talent should break through on its own.

In 1993, everything went to hell. After 10 years of infidelity of her husband Lyudmila Krylov filed for divorce. Everything came to the surface. Tabakov stopped hiding an affair with a former student. And it broke Alexandra's heart.



The eldest son of the actor, Anton Tabakov, recalls that the discord in the family began long before those events. Father and mother often quarreled over trifles. At the same time, Tabakov Sr. hardly managed to hide a secret romance. Everyone understood, both mother and Sasha.

Later, Oleg Pavlovich explained that he did not want to hurt the family. In his youth, he went through the same trials when his father returned from the war with a new woman and left his son with his mother. So now the artist for a long time did not dare to place all the dots on i. In one of the interviews, Tabakov told about how once irritated and tired returned from filming and asked the children what connects them with him? They did not find an answer, and it broke the actor.



After the divorce, Tabakov moved to his mistress, and soon she played all the main roles. Alexandra decided to discuss this with her father. However, they quarreled, and the girl left the theater, loudly slamming the door. Her parents were her mentors and the most precious person, and this betrayal greatly undermined her faith in people.

Previously cheerful and sociable Sasha closed in, and attentive viewer could well replace these changes in the cinema. In “Little Faith”, the heiress Tabakova played a daring, playful and life-loving girl. In The Other District, we already see a sad, lonely woman with an empty look.



GettyImages Although the master and tried to get in touch with Sasha, everyone understood: her acting career came to an end. Tabakov Sr. did not spare money and even gave her a “two”, but the daughter cut off all attempts at reconciliation.

Years later, Sashin’s brother told reporters that time played a cruel joke with her. She would love to go to the settlement with her father, but the resentment is too deep.

Alexandra Tabakova: the girl tried to compensate for failures in her career and find peace in love. In her youth, fate brought her together with actor and director Jan Josef Lifers, who played Rudy Wurlitzer in the film “Reaching out to heaven”. They married, went to her husband’s homeland in Germany and gave birth to a daughter Polina. Sasha managed to learn German so well that she even got a job as a TV presenter and starred with her daughter in the film I am the boss.



It would seem to live, rejoice and work in your favorite field, but the heiress Tabakov was tormented by black depressions. The husband realized that he could not save her, and offered to divorce. Together with Polina Sasha returned to Moscow. She might not have worked, as Lifers continued to help with money. But Alexandra tried herself on radio and television programs. However, nowhere and could not take root for more than six months.

The second marriage with actor Andrei Ilyin lasted 8 years. After the divorce, the woman began to avoid going out to people. Today, the heiress of the People's Artist leads a closed lifestyle and earns voiceover in the movies. She communicates only with her daughter, and with former colleagues and friends has beaten all the pots.



GettyImages Than Alexandra Tabakova's daughter Tabakova's granddaughter continued the creative work of the dynasty and graduated from the scenography course at the Moscow Art Theater. Her authorship belongs to the scenery for the Meyerhold Center and productions at the Grandfather Theatre. For a long time, the girl did not communicate with her father, who found another woman and cut off all contacts with her daughter. But in 2015, Pauline was able to establish a connection with Lifers and moved to live with him.

Today, Polina’s scenery is in demand at the historic Braunschweig Theatre and the Berlin Opera Academy. Three years ago, she accepted a hand-and-heart offer from budding Berlin conductor Adrian Heger. Alexander's mother did not attend the wedding.
