Actors of the Soviet period very rarely had the opportunity to independently choose the roles they would like to play. One of the lucky few was the great national film actress Lidiya Fedoseeva-Shukshina.
The public adored her, and directors vied with each other to offer her roles in new films and performances. The biography of Lydia Shukshina is a story about the rise of a real superstar of Soviet cinema. But her road to all-Russian popularity was fraught with difficulties at every step. The actress’s creative path is living proof of this.
Childhood and youth
Date of birth of the future actress is 09.25.1938, place - the city of Leningrad. Her mother's name was Zinaida, her father Nikolai fought at the front, lived to see the Victory and died in the post-war period. The family lived in a Leningrad communal apartment. Lydia was the oldest of three children; her two brothers died.
In 1946, the girl went to secondary school No. 217. In her free moments, she ran to the Cinema House, where she attended classes in the drama club. After receiving her school certificate, Lydia immediately chose a creative profession and went to study at the All-Union State Institute of Cinematography, from which she graduated in 1964.
First marriage
Lida was still studying at VGIK when she began an affair with Ukrainian actor Vyacheslav Voronin. In 1960, the actress gave birth to his daughter Anastasia. Lydia was literally torn between her child, career and family. She was even going to be expelled from VGIK, but Vyacheslav stood up for his wife and put in a good word for her in the dean’s office.
Lydia was literally torn between her child, career and family
Lida was left at the institute, she continued to actively act in films, but they could not save the family. The distance took its toll: the couple were constantly traveling and did not see each other. In addition, the actress lost her daughter. The fathers-in-law took Nastya in and sued for custody of the baby.
Lydia claims that she had to go through 13 court hearings to get her daughter back, but her mother-in-law’s connections prevented her from keeping the child. Nastya only occasionally saw her mother, but she spoke to her coldly and called her by name.
The actress lost her daughter
The relationship between mother and daughter today cannot be called warm. Nastya once lived in Angola, got married there and gave birth to a daughter, and when she returned to her homeland, she found herself involved in a drug scandal. Lydia helped her daughter while she was in prison, but after Nastya visited one of the talk shows and brought out a lot of personal things to the public, the artist was offended by her. Today they hardly communicate.
First roles
Fedoseeva's acting career began with episodic roles. Director Anatoly Granik noticed the talented girl as a schoolgirl and without hesitation invited her to play in his new film.
“Maxim Perepelitsa” was the name of the film in which Lydia starred for the first time. She played a cameo role as a laboratory assistant and appeared on screen for just a few minutes. Before this work, Fedoseeva formally already had filming experience (the film “Two Captains”) - but it was quite short and gave little to the aspiring actress.
Lidia Nikolaevna remembers her first roles, albeit episodic ones, with warmth. After all, maybe it was they who helped her finally decide on her choice of professional path.
A new stage in the actress’s biography began in 1957. 1957 was the year she entered the All-Union Institute of Cinematography, where she improved her professional skills in the acting studio of university teachers Gerasimov and Makarova. The talented student’s work did not go unnoticed.
Two years later, the name Fedoseeva becomes famous in the world of Soviet cinema: she played the role of the girl Tanya in the film “Peers”. By all accounts, she had developed as an actress and showed promise of becoming a TV star. However, real popular recognition was yet to come.
Lidiya Fedoseeva-Shukshina became famous for playing the role of Tanya in the film “Peers”
Born 09/25/1938, Leningrad
The fate of Lydia Fedoseeva was such that she, a native Leningrader, ended up in Moscow, where in 1957 she entered VGIK, in the workshop of S. Gerasimov and T. Makarova. Under the guidance of these experienced masters, she became an actress.
She played her first role in the film “Maxim Perepelitsa” directed by A. Granik. But neither the audience nor the critics practically noticed the young laboratory assistant played by an equally young actress: their attention was completely absorbed by the brilliant performance of L. Bykov. The actress’s individuality appeared, perhaps, only in the late fifties, when she played student Tanya in the film “Peers” (1959).
First marriage
Lydia Fedoseeva's first husband was Kiev actor V. Voronin. They met at the Dovzhenko film studio (he starred in the films “First Echelon”, “Ivanna”, “Kochubey”, “Dream”, etc.). In 1960, he gave birth to a girl who was named Nastya. However, the birth of a child had a negative impact on her studies at VGIK - Fedoseeva was soon expelled from the institute for systematic absences from classes.
Her young husband had to bow to the dean of the acting department of VGIK. This campaign ended in success - Fedoseeva was reinstated at the institute and enrolled in the workshop of S. Gerasimov and T. Makarova.
Meanwhile, Fedoseeva’s return to the capital played a cruel joke on the young family. Since Voronin continued to live in Kyiv, and Fedoseeva in Moscow (while their daughter lived with her grandmother in Leningrad), they saw each other extremely rarely and eventually became unaccustomed to each other. Therefore, by 1964, when Fedoseeva graduated from VGIK and left to star in the film “What is it like, the sea?”, her marriage to Voronin managed to turn into a pure formality.
After the divorce, the girl was left in the care of Voronin’s mother, hidden from her own mother until they separated her completely. Over time, Fedoseeva’s mental wound healed, and now she herself does not want to maintain any relationship with her daughter, even after learning that she was arrested for transporting drugs. She also asks journalists not to interfere and not stir up this family tragedy.
Meeting with Shukshin
When Fedoseeva found out that her partner in the film “What is it like, the sea?” will be Vasily Shukshin (he was supposed to play the role of a former criminal, sailor Zhorka), she was upset. In the cinematic environment there was talk about this man’s drunken sprees, so the actress did not expect anything good from meeting him. There was even a moment when she asked the director to find a replacement for Shukshin before it was too late, otherwise they would all screw him up. But the director assured her that everything would be fine.
The first meeting between Shukshin and Fedoseeva took place on a train on the way to Sudak. Lidiya Fedoseeva recalls: “I slowly
I watched Shukshin: his eyes were green - cheerful, mischievous and hooligan. The company turned out to be extremely pleasant, and I began to sing. And she sang “Red Kalina.” He suddenly looked at me strangely and picked up...
When everyone fell asleep, I felt someone entering the compartment. I look - Vasya. He quietly sits down next to me and says: “Well, come on, tell me about yourself.” We talked all night.
When we were on the bus to Sudak, we stopped in a small forest. I remember that I was the first to get on the bus, and Shukshin was behind me and was holding something under his jacket. I ask: did you catch the animal? And he gave me a small bouquet of flowers. Then I found out that these were the first flowers that he gave to the woman. I kept them for a long time."
Star couple
The meeting with Shukshin turned upside down both Fedoseeva’s personal and creative destiny. They got married, and the actress, together with her husband, played the main roles in the films “Stoves and Benches” (1972) and “Kalina Krasnaya” (1973). Shukshin himself wrote the scripts for these films and shot them as a production director. By that time he was already famous - he acted in films, wrote books, and these films of his, like everything he did, caused a response in society. Lydia Fedoseeva surprised everyone even more. In both films, the native city woman perfectly played simple village women who are selflessly devoted to their beloved men and are ready to make any sacrifice for their well-being.
Fedoseeva's simple-minded naivety, her artless acting, and modest and at the same time memorable appearance allowed her to become an equal partner of the bright, character actor Shukshin. Together they created that unique, natural atmosphere of real life, which captivated the audience in these films. Together they could have done a lot of interesting things, but something irreparable happened: in the mid-seventies, on the set of the film “They Fought for the Motherland,” in which Fedoseeva also starred, Shukshin died suddenly. Lidia Nikolaevna was left alone with two girls and became the sole breadwinner of the family. Of course, the fees that Fedoseeva received for Shukshin’s books, which were often republished both in the Soviet Union and in the countries of the socialist community, helped a lot. He was very popular in Poland, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia.
After the death of her husband, the actress took a double surname and is now known only as Fedoseeva-Shukshina. She began working at the Film Actor's Studio Theater in Moscow and acted a lot: films with her participation were released almost every year. Fedoseeva-Shukshina played both in modern films and in historical, as they are also called, costume films. But no matter what era her heroines belonged to, the actress played their female destinies as naturally and artlessly as before.
Cinema after Shukshin
In 1976, Fedoseeva-Shukshina starred in a film on a modern theme, “The Key Without the Right of Transfer,” and already in 1980 it was released
Several films with her participation were released, including both modern and historical ones - “You Never Dreamed of It,” “From the Life of Vacationers,” “The Youth of Peter.”
It’s hard to even say which roles the actress does better. Either her appearance is so good, or she herself prefers to play women of past eras, but after the films “The Demidovs” (1983), “We Sat on the Golden Porch” (1985), “Vivat, Midshipmen” (1991), “Countess” Sheremetev" (1994) and, of course, "St. Petersburg Secrets" (1994-1995) Fedoseeva-Shukshina began to be called nothing less than "royal". And this despite the fact that she played not only positive but also negative roles in them.
Fedoseeva-Shukshina really very successfully uses her corpulence to become, although she most often speaks ironically about her appearance and admits that all her corpulence depends on her mood and external circumstances, which is why she either gains or loses weight. But among all the nominees for the Khanzhonkov Prize, she was unanimously recognized as “the most feminine.”
Personal life
In her marriage to Shukshin, Lydia Nikolaevna gave birth to two more girls of the same age. The eldest, Masha, graduated from the Institute of Foreign Languages; for several years she worked as a translator at the stock exchange, then switched to television. But over time, she decided to continue the family tradition and became an actress. She has already starred in several films, including “American Daughter” and “The Circus Burnt Down and the Clowns Ran Away.” Lately, Masha has often acted in TV series.
The youngest Shukshina, Olga, first graduated from VGIK, starred in several films, it seemed that her future had already been determined. But then she decided to follow in her father’s footsteps, began writing autobiographical stories and entered the Literary Institute to study. Olga is not at all like her older sister, bright and energetic. She lives secluded in a country house and raises her son Vasily. As it turns out, Olga received her literary gift not only from her father, but also from her mother, who also decided to express herself in the literary field and has already published a collection of riddles. Some of them were collected by Shukshin.
Fedoseeva-Shukshina considers herself a family man, but if life together does not work out, she always leaves
first. This happened several times when she tried to arrange her life with the cameraman M. Aranovich or with the Polish artist M. Mezhevsky, who could not come to terms with the fact that in Russia he was known not by himself, but as the husband of Fedoseeva-Shukshina. Then Bari Alibasov appeared in her life.
Actor S. Sadalsky likes to talk at social gatherings about the fact that it was he who introduced Alibasov and Fedoseeva, persuading her to give the producer an extra ticket to “Nika.” This sealed their fate. Alibasov very touchingly looked after Fedoseeva, without hiding the fact that he simply idolized her husband, Shukshin. He treated children with the same care. When Masha gave birth to her son, he flew in from Taiwan with a full set for the newborn and looked at the airport like a real Santa Claus.
Now Fedoseeva-Shukshina and Alibasov each live their own lives. The actress considers establishing the work of the Vasily Shukshin memory fund to be one of her main concerns.

Actors section
Personal life
The actress first got married while still studying at university. Her husband was the Ukrainian artist Vyacheslav Voronin. Daughter Anastasia was born in 1960. But this was the last joy of their union. Fedoseeva often missed classes because her little daughter required supervision. The actress was almost expelled from the institute. No serious roles were offered.
Soon the young creative couple could not stand the tests of real life and broke up. The main reason was the distance that separated the spouses: Lydia lived in Moscow, her husband in Kyiv, and her daughter in Leningrad. In her first marriage, the actress failed to harmoniously combine work and personal life.
Vasily Shukshin
It was acting that brought Lydia together with her second husband - Vasily Shukshin became her partner on film shoots. The acquaintance took place on the set of the film “What is it like, the sea?” They fell in love with each other immediately and forever.
The actors quickly signed their names. After the wedding, they were inseparable: they shared both life and filming with each other. This couple was distinguished by their creative fruitfulness: one after another, the films “Stoves and Benches”, “Strange People”, “Dauria” were released. In each film, Lydia played ordinary rural women.
The films “Kalina Krasnaya” and “They Fought for the Motherland” are breaking all popularity records. In these films, the actress also creates images of village women that are understandable, close to the common man. Fedoseeva-Shukshina is assigned the role of a “people’s” actress.
Lydia looked so harmoniously in female folk images that no one remembered that she came from a big city - Leningrad. Surely, she played these roles so truthfully, having absorbed something from her husband’s personality - after all, Vasily Shukshin was really born and raised in the village. Their creative and marital union developed and bore fruit not only in the form of films.
Sudden death of husband
The couple had two daughters, the couple looked absolutely happy. And in 1974, Vasily unexpectedly passed away - sudden death. Lydia was left alone. That's when she takes on a double surname. As a sign of eternal memory of her husband, all credits now read Fedoseeva-Shukshina.
The next two short marriages will not change the actress’s mood. According to relatives, the second husband, Vasily Shukshin, remained in the memory of the actress for life
Personal life of Lidia Nikolaevna Fedoseeva-Shukshina
The personal life of Lidia Nikolaevna Fedoseeva-Shukshina was extremely eventful and vibrant, as was her creative career. The popular artist first fell in love during her student years. While studying at the All-Union State Institute of Cinematography, the woman met Vyacheslav Voronin. A romance immediately began between them. Vyacheslav Voronin was a talented Ukrainian artist. Soon the artists legalized their relationship by marriage. In 1960, the couple had a daughter, Anastasia. Lidiya Shukshina began to often skip classes at the institute, so she was almost expelled from a higher education institution. However, their relationship did not last long. A few months later, their relationship broke up. The reason was distance. Lydia Shukshina was in Moscow, Vyacheslav lived in Kyiv, and their daughter was in Leningrad. Today, Anastasia is married to the head of Angolan counterintelligence, Major General Nelson Francisco. She gave birth to a daughter named Laura Francisco. Not long ago, Shukshina’s great-grandson named Martin appeared in the family.
Lydia and Vasily Shukshin with children
The first marriage negatively affected the career growth of Lydia Shukshina. They stopped offering her worthy roles, and for a long time she disappeared from television screens. Soon after breaking up with Vyacheslav Voronin, Lidiya Nikolaevna Shukshina met Vasily Shukshin. Their meeting took place during the filming of a film called “What is it like, the sea?” He became her colleague on the set. Love at first sight immediately occurred between the Soviet artists. They became inseparable. A few months later, Lydia and Vasily got married. They spent every minute together, because the set also united them. The Shukshins' marriage produced two daughters. On May 27, 1967, their daughter Maria Shukshina was born, who also became a famous artist. On June 29, 1968, another daughter of the Shukshin family was born. They named her Olga. Soon the joint works of Vasily and Lydia appeared on television screens. Among them are the films “Stoves and Benches”, “Strange People”, “Dauria” and others.
Lidiya Shukshina and Vasily Shukshin
In 1974 a tragedy occurred. Vasily Shukshin died. Lidia Nikolaevna was depressed and could not come to her senses for a long time. Immediately after the death of her husband, the Russian theater and film actress took Fedoseev’s double surname - Shukshina. Only the artist's last name appeared in the credits.
Lydia and Maria Shukshina
Both daughters of Lydia Shukshina followed in the footsteps of their parents and became film stars. Maria Shukshina has repeatedly appeared on television screens as a presenter and actress. Olga Shukshina is also an actress. The girl spent many years in a monastery, today she lives on the shores of the Red Sea and regularly attends church. Maria Shukshina gave birth to a daughter, Anna Tregubenko, in 1989. Recently, Shukshina’s great-grandson named Vyacheslav was born. Lydia also has three more grandchildren.

In 1975, Mikhail Agranovich became the husband of Lydia Nikolaevna Shukshina. Their marriage did not last so long, and in 1984 they divorced. From 1984 to 1988, the Russian theater and film actress was married to the Polish artist Marek Mierzejewski. Lidia Shukshina also lived in a civil marriage with Bari Alibasov, a Soviet and Russian musician.
After Shukshin's death
The death of her beloved husband put an end to the golden period of her acting career. Although Lydia Shukshina was invited to participate in productions and filming, her best works remained the unforgettable female images in the famous films “Stoves and Benches” and “Kalina Krasnaya”.
Vivid roles were performed in films shot by various directors: “The Demidovs” (Yaropolk Lapshin), “Vivat, midshipmen” (Svetlana Druzhinina), “We sat on the golden porch” (Boris Rytsarev), “Walking in agony” (Vasily Ordynsky), “Talisman” (Arayik Gabrielyan, Veniamin Dorman), in the Polish film “The Ballad of Januszik”, for which she received all possible Polish awards. The filmography of the actress is very extensive.
Films where Lydia Shukshina played appeared on the screen one after another. The actress completely immersed herself in her profession to dull the pain of loss.
Career of Lidia Nikolaevna Fedoseeva - Shukshina
Already in her student years, Lidiya Nikolaevna Fedoseeva-Shukshina achieved unrealistic success. She was extremely in demand in Soviet cinema and often received leading roles in films and TV series. In 1964, the Russian and Soviet actress was involved in the filming of the film “What is it like, the sea?” Her colleague on the set was Vasily Shukshin, who soon became Lydia’s husband. In 1974, a woman appeared in the film “If You Want to Be Happy.”
Lydia Shukshina and Vasily Shukshin in the film “Kalina Krasnaya”
Soon several more joint works of Lydia and Vasily appeared on television screens. Among them are the films “Stoves and Benches” and “Strange People”. Soon Shukshina starred in the films “Dauria” and “Kalina Krasnaya ”. In 1975, Lidia Nikolaevna starred in a film called “They Fought for their Motherland.” In each of her works she played simple provincial women. Despite the fact that Shukshina lived all her life in a big city, she brilliantly managed to transform herself into an ordinary peasant woman. The audience admired Lydia Nikolaevna’s high-quality performance, her sincerity and talent.
Shukshina as Madame Gritsatsueva in the film “12 Chairs”
Every year more and more films were released with the participation of Lydia Nikolaevna Shukshina. She starred in the legendary films “12 Chairs” , “The Demidovs”, “We Sat on the Golden Porch”, “Vivat, Midshipmen”, “Walking Through Torment”, “Our Sins”, “The Ballad of Januszik”. In each work, the performance of the Soviet artist was excellent. However, Shukshina's popularity quickly faded. This happened after the death of her husband, Vasily Shukshin. The artist could not come to her senses for a long time and was deeply depressed. Soon, Lydia Shukshina began acting in films almost around the clock to drown out her mental pain.
Lidiya Shukshina in the film “The Demidovs”
Lidiya Shukshina also starred in the famous film called “Chauffeur for One Flight.” Oleg Efremov became a colleague on the set. Soon Lydia appeared in the film “You Never Even Dreamed of It . Fedoseeva - Shukshina starred with Albert Filozov. Over the years of acting, the Russian and Soviet actress has played various roles. She played both positive and negative characters. However, each role was incredibly successful. She starred in the film “Little Tragedies” and in the TV series “St. Petersburg Mysteries.” Soon Shukshina played the empress in the film “The Demidovs” . Soon she starred in the film “Countess Sheremetev”, in the legendary work “Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka”. Shukshina once played party workers in the film “You Can’t Forbid Living Beautifully.” She also played the role of a teacher in the film “The Talisman.” In the film called “The Limit of Desires,” Lidiya Shukshina played a kindergarten teacher.

Also, the Russian and Soviet theater and film actress managed to transform herself into a bribe-taker from the district council in the film “Bribe. From the notebook of journalist V. Tsvetkov.” In the film called “Call me into the bright distance,” Shukshina played a woman suffering from loneliness. In the famous film “From the Life of Vacationers” she played a collective farmer. In the film “Quarantine” she played a circus cashier.
During the 2000s, Lidia Nikolaevna became the president of the film festival “Vivat, Cinema of Russia!” She began to rarely appear on television, but several works with Shukshina’s participation were still released.

Note that in 1990, Lidia Shukshina voiced a role in a children's cartoon called “The Monster.”
Marriage to Bari Alibasov
The ceremony took place in November 2020. Not everyone believed in the sincere feelings of celebrities, thinking that Bari Karimovich had selfish goals. In response, the producer stated that he is more than wealthy, owns a luxurious apartment of 250 square meters and does not need the financial support of his wife at all.
According to Lidia Nikolaevna, the property belonging to her was registered as a gift to her children and numerous grandchildren several years ago.
The 70-year-old producer and the 80-year-old actress now live either in Alibasov’s apartment or in the Fedoseeva-Shukshina house. However, this won't last long. The couple plans to soon move to a jointly purchased house located in New Moscow.
Registration of marriage of media persons did not go unnoticed by the public
Lidiya Fedoseeva-Shukshina now
Now Lidiya Fedoseeva-Shukshina lives in Moscow. The actress rarely leaves the apartment; Lidia Nikolaevna moves with the help of a cane. The artist’s health condition worsened due to arrhythmia and diabetes. The situation surrounding the real estate dispute between mother and daughter Olga also affected her well-being. The conflict has been dragging on for years and both sides have not found the desired solution. The development of the situation was devoted to the program “We Talk and Show,” which was broadcast on the NTV channel at the beginning of 2020.
The daughters of Lidia Fedoseeva-Shukshina do not communicate with their mother
In November 2020, the actress became the heroine of the media's front pages. It turned out that Bari Alibasov and Lidiya Fedoseeva-Shukshina got married. The wedding ceremony took place at the Kutuzovsky registry office on November 20.
Only the closest relatives and friends of the newlyweds were present at the wedding. It turned out that after numerous attempts to build their happiness separately, Alibasov and Fedoseeva-Shukshina became close again and decided to get married.

Children and grandchildren
The famous actress has three daughters. The eldest - Anastasia Voronina - from her first husband, married a foreign citizen, and now prefers Egypt as a place of residence. Has a daughter, Laura, and she has a son, Martin. The boy is Lydia Nikolaevna’s great-grandson.
Anastasia Voronina
Not everything went smoothly in Anastasia Voronina’s life. Unknowingly, the daughter of a famous actress became involved in drug smuggling. According to her, she suspected something fishy about the package that was asked to be delivered from Pakistan, but she didn’t even think about drugs at that moment.
She agreed to transport the parcel only to pay off the debt that burdened her. The woman was convicted, and three years later she was released from prison under an amnesty. For three years, Lidia Nikolaevna did not write a single letter to her daughter.
But, according to Stas Sadalsky, a friend of the actress, Fedoseeva-Shukshina was trying to get Anastasia released on parole. After that, the already difficult relationship between mother and daughter cooled even more. For a long time they had no contact with each other at all.
Maria Shukshina
The second daughter, Maria Shukshina, according to family tradition, devoted herself to the profession of an actress. She played in the films “Burnt by the Sun 2”, “American Daughter” and many others. She gained fame and love from the public. In addition to her acting success, Maria has the good fortune of being the mother of four children.
Her eldest daughter, Anna Tregubenko, received the profession of producer at VGIK, and has a son, Vyacheslav, the great-grandson of Lydia Nikolaevna. Maria's eldest son, Makar, gave birth to a wonderful baby last year, who was named Mark. The two youngest sons - twins Foka and Foma Vishnyakov - were born to Maria Shukshina in 2005.
Olga Shukshina
Lydia's third daughter, Olga Shukshina, in continuation of the family dynasty, entered VGIK - after graduating, she tried herself as a film actress. However, she suddenly made a sharp turn in her career and became a writer, like her father, Vasily Shukshin. Olga gave the famous grandmother her grandson Vasily. Now Lydia’s youngest daughter has devoted herself to the faith and leads a hermit’s life.
Her relationship with her mother is difficult. Not so long ago, during the division of her father's inheritance, a share of which belongs to her, she found herself in the midst of a scandal. That conflict was not in vain for Lydia Nikolaevna - her health was undermined.
But she doesn’t complain and tries to establish good relationships with all her loved ones. And now she is supported by her husband, Bari Alibasov, who makes great efforts and tries to reconcile the family for the peace of his wife.
Renaissance
After the death of her husband, the actress completely immersed herself in work. In 1976 alone, 5 films with her participation were released! She also brilliantly embodied the image of Madame Gritsatsueva from The Twelve Chairs.
In addition, many movie fans are still reviewing a film called “One Trip Driver.” In this film, Fedoseeva-Shukshina is involved together with the magnificent Oleg Efremov. Another wonderful picture is “You Never Dreamed of It.” The actress shared the set there with Albert Filozov. They played a married couple, the parents of the main character.
It’s hard to say which roles she did better, but after some historical films with her participation, including “The Demidovs”, “Vivat, Midshipmen”, “The Youth of Peter”, “Countess Sheremetev” and “St. Petersburg Secrets”, they began to call her “ regal." And once, at one of the awards, the actress was recognized as the most feminine.
Confession
Fedoseeva-Shukshina’s creative track record includes more than eighty roles in films and theater performances. She is a recognized popular favorite and a symbol of the Russian simple woman - and has also been awarded many prestigious prizes and awards for her work.
Since 1984, Lidia Nikolaevna has held the high title of People's Artist and has been awarded orders and medals for services to society and the fatherland. Now Lidia Nikolaevna lives in Moscow, but no longer plays roles in films or plays in the theater.
Today, her activities include preserving and popularizing the literary heritage of her late husband, organizing festivals and open lessons on his works. From time to time, the national actress appears at social events and television screens. But, as she herself says, all her current concerns are focused on her husband’s memory fund.

After the fateful picture, Vasily Shukshin and Lydia Fedoseeva got married. After some time, the couple had two daughters. They not only had a truly loving family, but also a strong creative union.
Quite a considerable number of films with their joint participation were released, including “Kalina Krasnaya”, “Stoves-Benches”, “Strange People”, etc.
They managed to create a natural, unique atmosphere of real life.
Probably, this creative union would have given fans new original works, but in the mid-70s, during the filming of the film “They Fought for the Motherland,” Shukshin passed away...
The actress was left alone with her daughters and became the only breadwinner of the family. She was helped in this regard by her husband’s fees, which she received for his works. Fortunately, the books were republished quite often not only in the USSR, but also in the countries of the socialist camp.
In addition, after the death of her husband, Lydia decided to take a double surname. Since then, she has been known as Fedoseeva-Shukshina. Biography, personal life, children never ceased to interest fans. How did Lidia Nikolaevna’s life turn out next?
Olya and Masha
Two stars, born in the union of two stars, took different paths in life. While still children, they acted in films with their parents.
Masha, who inherited her mother's beauty, became a successful actress and TV presenter. She has roles in 47 films and participates in television programs as a presenter. Maria became the mother of four children born in three marriages. Daughter Anna and son Makar gave her grandchildren Vyacheslav and Mark. Twins Foma and Foka Vishnyakov are still teenagers. All her life Masha has been next to her mother, Lydia Nikolaevna, fully basking in maternal love and mutual understanding.
Ole inherited his father's rebellious and eccentric character. Her fate is full of searches and tossing, from a wild life in America to many years of obedience in a monastery. Olya has a son, Vasily Shukshin, who dreams of becoming a director, like his famous grandfather.
Important!
Despite the fact that the mother supported her youngest daughter in every way in her attempts to find herself, there is no complete understanding between them. Several years ago this resulted in a scandal related to the housing issue. It seems that life will put everything in its place and peace will be restored in the complex relationship between mother and daughter, who undoubtedly love each other.
Lidiya Nikolaevna Fedoseeva-Shukshina and her husbands
Lydia Fedoseeva-Shukshina had five husbands. The actress’s first husband was her professional colleague Vyacheslav Voronin. They met at VGIK and lived together for four years. Their marriage was destroyed by distance, Voronin was from Ukraine and after graduating from university returned to his homeland, Lydia built a career in Moscow and Leningrad.
Lydia's second husband was the writer, actor and film director Vasily Shukshin, who died in 1974 due to a myocardial infarction. They met on the set of the film “What is it like, the sea?” in 1964. Vasily at that moment had a wife and also an actress, Lydia Alexandrova (better known as Chashchina). For three years, Shukshin could not decide who he wanted to stay with, until he chose Fedoseeva.
Personal life after Shukshin
Vasily Shukshin died right on the set of the film, after 10 years of married life with Lydia. She learned the terrible news while returning from filming. I hurried to tell my husband that Italian film directors would invite him to star in a film about Dostoevsky. Did not make it.
Shukshin's widow married cameraman Mikhail Agranovich
At first, Lydia Fedoseeva-Shukshina did not want to live. But there were two young daughters there. It was necessary to raise them. This realization was sobering and gave me strength.
A year after the tragedy, Shukshin’s widow married cameraman Mikhail Agranovich. The public exploded with indignation: how could she dare to forget her late husband so quickly. The biography, personal life of Lydia Shukshina, details about her children and husband again became the subject of constant discussion and speculation. And she was simply looking for the traits of her beloved Vasenka in another person.
Shukshina again risked trying her luck
The marriage with Agranovich broke up, Shukshina again risked trying her luck. This time with an artist from Poland, Marek Mierzejewski. Many were surprised to learn how old Lydia Shukshina and her Pole husband were at the time of their marriage. The actress married for the fourth time at the age of 46. Marek was barely 30. After 4 years of marriage, the couple separated. No one could replace Shukshin as an actress.
