Maria Shukshina is sure that the producer of “Na-na” pulled off a scam and defrauded her mother Lidiya Fedoseeva-Shukshina

From diapers to the set

With such talented parents, Shukshina's future was a foregone conclusion. So, at the age of one, the baby made her debut in Soviet cinema in her father’s famous film “Strange People.”

In 1972, Maria and her younger sister Olga played the Rastorguevs’ daughters in the lyrical comedy “Stoves and Benches.” Then, the future actress reincarnated as her mother-in-law in Sergei Nikonenko’s good-natured, fairy-tale film “Birds over the City.”

Despite the early start of her middle daughter’s acting career, Lidiya Fedoseeva-Shukshina kept telling Maria not to take this profession seriously.

An obedient and good-natured girl listened to her mother and entered one of the capital's universities in Moscow, choosing the faculty of foreign languages. Having become a certified specialist, the girl worked as a translator for several years.

A small salary led her to brokerage. But even there Maria did not see a future; she was still drawn to cinema.

Maria Shukshina took her grandson: “Freya asked Mark to live in our family”

The son of Maria Shukshina became a father in the spring of 2018. His ex-girlfriend Freya Zilber gave birth to a boy, whom she named Mark. Freya and Maria Shukshina's son Makar Kasatkin separated before the birth of the boy. During pregnancy and after the birth of the child, Freya periodically appeared on talk shows, and lived on the fees received and provided for herself and her son.

The young woman comes from Barnaul, where she left her daughter with her mother, having fled to conquer the capital. Zilber skillfully worked off her fees by making scandals on television. Makar Kasatkin married Ilona Alexandrova, creating a strong family. But he didn’t give up on his son: he paid child support. In addition, Maria Shukshina even wanted to take the boy into her family to raise him, but Freya did not give him up. There were many scandals in the family. But during the holidays, a New Year’s miracle happened: a fragile, but still peace, was restored in the family.

Freya tells her friends that at first she was waiting for the first step from the Shukshin family, and then decided that now it would be better for the boy to live in a wealthy star family. But Maria Vasilyevna has her own version, which she decided to publish on social networks.

Freya Zilber.

“Finally, Malakhov’s contract with Freya has expired. And Makar and I were finally able to meet the wonderful baby Mark! It’s not for me to judge Freya, everyone earns as best they can. God is our judge! According to the contract, she did not have the right to come to us alone with the baby. Only with cameras! Only with editors! Only according to the script! For this she was paid very good money, which she does not hide. And this must be understood by the audience who are being fooled, and who take these productions at face value and believe them!” — Shukshina denies personal conflicts with her grandson’s mother. They say that it’s all the fault of the television people who wanted spectacle and paid decent money for it.

And now Maria Shukshina announced the long-awaited reunion with her grandson, saying that the television crew terminated the contract with Zilber at the end of the year because they did not receive an interview with the famous family: “At the beginning of 2020, Freya came to us (without cameras) and asked Mark lived in our family for some time, to which we happily agreed!”

Maria Shukshina was offended by the “Live Broadcast” program for publicizing the unpleasant story of extorting alimony from her son for her grandson, and other details of her personal life. Maria some time ago announced on Instagram that she was offered 15 million rubles for an interview in the program. Andrei Malakhov commented on these figures in an interview with us: “We ourselves were stunned when we heard about 15 million. We realized that this was a hint: if they offer me 15 million, then I might think about an interview...”

Knowing Zilber’s love for television earnings, one can assume her appearance in other television programs. Moreover, a new reason has appeared.

Return to the sight of cameras and spotlights

In 1990, Shukshina received a small role in the film adaptation of F. M. Dostoevsky’s story “The Eternal Husband” of the same name. Five years later, Maria starred in Karen Shakhnazarov’s film “American Daughter.”

The image of a strong, independent, slightly bitchy businesswoman Ann was remembered by many Russian television viewers. In the same year, two more films were released with the participation of the actress: “What a Wonderful Game” and “Russian Roulette – Moscow 95.”

Since October 1999, Maria has become the face and host of Channel One’s top-rated program “Wait for Me.”

In company with actor Igor Kvasha, she helped people from different parts of the country find missing relatives. With the advent of the 2000s, Maria's career rapidly took off.

In 2001, Shukshina received the main role of Larisa Streletskaya in the crime drama “People and Shadows. Secrets of the puppet theater." The following year, the beautiful and stylish actress starred in the comedy-mystical film “The Adventures of a Magician.” Her heroine is the femme fatale, the stealer of men's hearts, Katerina, the complete opposite of Maria in real life.

In 2004, the popular artist replenished her creative treasury with such works as: “Dear Masha Berezina”, “Not all cats are grey...”, “Narrow Bridge”, “I Love You”. Three years later, Maria received the main role in the crime melodrama “Help Service”.

Shukshina plays mostly strong-willed, purposeful women, and thanks to her modeling skills, her heroines are always at their best. Of Maria’s latest cinematic works, where the actress played the main roles, it is worth highlighting the following:

• "Gastronomic Case No. 1"
• "Made in USSR",
• "Fireplace Guest"
• “Yolki-3”, “Stanitsa”,
• "Goodbye boys"
• "Departing Nature"
• "Husband for an hour".

At the end of 2020, the premiere of Zinovy ​​Roizman’s family saga Serebryany Bor took place, where Shukshina starred as Tatyana Arkhipova. Her heroine is the wife of a general of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as well as an employee of a literary newspaper , and also an excellent housewife and mother. Everything in their family is going well, but due to a series of political stories, a gradual discord begins.

In January 2020, the thriller “McMafia” premiered in America, in which Maria played Oksana Godman, the wife of Russian businessman, emigrant Dmitry. Her compatriots also starred in the film: Alexey Serebryakov, Maria Mashkova, Sofia Lebedeva, Anna Levanova.

Now Shukshina is involved in the filming of the melodrama “Love in Japanese”. Since January 21 of this year, the actress has become the host of the Channel One talk show, “Visiting in the Morning.”

Masha Shukshina and I had great sex only after the scandals!

recalls the ex-husband of Maria Shukshina Alexey Kasatkin

Playing a multifaceted role in the series “Terrorist Ivanova,” which continues to be shown on Channel One, Maria SHUKSHINA once again proved that she is not only a beautiful woman, but also a talented actress. It would seem that everything is known about the personal life of the daughter of the great writer Vasily Makarovich SHUKSHIN. Two official marriages, four children. The star recently broke up with her common-law husband, lawyer Boris VISHNYAKOV, with whom she continues to maintain friendly relations. However, we managed to find out that not everything is so rosy with all the star’s former relatives.

As a student at the translation department of the prestigious Maurice Thorez Moscow Institute of Foreign Languages, Maria Shukshina stood out from the crowd of fellow students with a charming smile that never left her pretty face, a luxurious head of hair and an excellent sense of humor. Not every young man could pass by such a beauty without looking back and giving her a compliment. Masha herself chose one of all the guys - curly-haired Artem Tregubenko . In their fourth year they got married. The cheerful student wedding lasted until the morning. The groom's witness continually danced around the charming bride. Who would have thought that ten years later they would become spouses.

Fatal Summer

Shukshin doesn’t talk much about her first husband. They say that a daughter, Anechka, was born, but the marriage did not last long, the couple parted as friends, and the girl is not forbidden to see her father. All! There was hope that Artem would tell interesting details about family life with Masha, but he, apparently at the urgent request of his former lover, was categorical: “Yes, we studied together at the institute, we were married.” To be honest, I don’t have the slightest desire to talk about that time. The actress refuses to talk about her second husband, the same witness at the wedding. They say that businessman Alexey Kasatkin mortally offended her by kidnapping Makar’s little son when the couple was on the verge of divorce.

Then, however, the child miraculously ended up with his mother, but the unpleasant aftertaste remained. While looking for Alexey, I met his mother. It turned out that the elderly woman had long wanted to talk about her ex-daughter-in-law. Apparently it hurt. “My husband and I really regret that Masha was in our son’s life. How many tears I shed, how many medicines I drank because of her,” Zoya Apollonovna sighs heavily. - They say she's beautiful? Such beauty is not for everyone. Thoughtful? I didn't notice anything like that about her. I don't remember her cooking or washing. Although... years change people. But I deleted this woman from my life forever. And when I see her profile on TV, I immediately switch to another channel. - Why did she offend you so much? “She deprived my husband and me of our grandson. When Masha met my son Alexei, he was earning a decent salary. As part of his work, Lesha spent a lot of time in Spain. And then Shukshina appears in his life. Her son put her on and took her around the world. Two years later Makarik was born. Despite the birth of the baby, Masha continued to live only for herself. From the age of three months, the grandson lived mainly with us. Mommy rarely visited.

And I had more than enough of my own problems: nephews, elderly mother... After a while, Alexey and Masha’s relationship became tense. Things were headed towards divorce. I don’t know what they didn’t share, but I myself saw how she pestered him with insane jealousy, although her son never gave reasons. I have suspicions that Masha insisted on a divorce for a reason - most likely, she had a wealthier boyfriend. The culmination was the summer of 1999, when Masha announced that she was going with Makar on vacation to Bulgaria. A few days later, I saw my daughter-in-law in a report on TV. She had a carefree time at the next festival. My husband and I found out that one and a half year old Makar is not with his mother, but in the Vladimir region with a nanny. We went there immediately. Once there, we were horrified: an unfinished house, an eerie lake in which the baby splashed with his lips blue from hypothermia in a life vest bought by his “caring” mother. They grabbed the baby and took him to their dacha.

And what do you think? One day, at half past midnight, armed men in uniform burst into our house, put a machine gun to my chest and took away Makar, sobbing in surprise, who had previously been sleeping angelically in his crib. Masha sat in the car and waited for her allegedly stolen son to be returned to her. And this whole operation was run by a close friend of the Shukshin family, a high-ranking official from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If I mention his last name, such a scandal could break out! Zoya Apollonovna told me the name of the man who then helped Masha take her son. When I found out, I almost fell out of my chair. After all, this person now occupies a much more serious position than General Shamanov , who, according to media reports, used his official position for personal purposes, sending airborne special forces to help relatives resolve a business dispute.

Seven years of separation

“At first we tried to bring peace back to the family,” says Zoya Apollonovna. “I personally came to Masha’s house and waited for the nanny to go out with Makarchik for a walk. How many hours did I spend in the rain and the piercing wind... One day I was lucky - they came out. I ran up: “Nadya, can I take a walk with you!” - “This is undesirable!” - answered the woman hired from an advertisement in the newspaper and left with the boy. Tears flowed freely. But I did not humiliate myself in front of Masha, begging for meetings with my grandson.

One day I called “Looking for You” (that’s what the program “Wait for Me” used to be called) and asked if they could help me find my grandson. The friendly girl on the other end of the line became interested. But when I added: “It’s true, his mother is the host of your program, Masha Shukshina,” she began to politely explain to me: “You understand, it’s unethical to discuss this.” I immediately answered: “Is it ethical to deprive a boy of his father and grandparents?!” - and hung up. Afterwards we decided to take a break. And on the eve of Makar’s 4th birthday, the bell rings - Masha invites us to a family holiday. We were so happy that words cannot express it. We bought gifts and came to the daughter-in-law’s house on the appointed day. How Makar’s eyes lit up when the man standing on the threshold was introduced to him as his father. “Now I will have a mom and dad!” — our baby was beside himself with happiness. But the reconciliation turned out to be just another show of the “virtuous” Masha. We never saw Makar again. About three years ago he called himself (as I understood, Alexey asked to inquire about our health). “Come and visit us, Makarchik,” I tell my grandson. And after a pause he said in some intimidated voice: “Grandma, I want to come to you, but I need to ask my mother for permission.” — It turns out that you haven’t seen your own grandson for more than seven years? - It turns out like this. Unfortunately, he already perceives us as complete strangers. And his mother... I heard that she broke up with the father of her twins. Not surprising. She has a difficult character, snobbery - it’s hard to get along with someone like that. I think she has no one now. In any case, with such a busy work schedule, there is probably no time left for personal life. I sincerely wish her happiness and do not want to judge her for anything. She is a believer, so God is her judge. You talk to Alexey - maybe he has a different opinion about his ex-wife. In my opinion, they recently began to finally communicate on a human level.

They got married after the birth of their son

“I loved Masha very much, and it seems to me that she loved me too.” And everything else doesn’t matter! - 46-year-old Alexey remarked as soon as we started the conversation. (Before, Kasatkin flatly refused to be interviewed, but he made an exception for us.) - Over the course of four years, there were some big quarrels. But after the scandals, what great sex it was! I don't regret a single day spent next to this woman. And, believe me, I have something to compare with - Shukshina was my third wife. - Were you a faithful husband? - Absolutely! When I fell in love with another woman, I immediately left the previous one. It's more honest. - And Masha? - Did she cheat on me? I respect myself enough to prevent this from happening. — Did you fully satisfy each other in sex? - Um... Shall I give you a video? (Laughs wildly.) I’m not Konchalovsky Sr., who loves to talk about THIS. Moreover, not a narcissist, not a peacock, to engage in self-promotion. Ask Masha. If she wants, she will tell you everything in detail. - Why did you break up? Has Masha found another man? - Regarding the other man - no comments! In fact, we broke up due to circumstances. Just like they connected. Our chance meeting took place in the summer of 1995. We had a "parents day". I went to a dinosaur exhibition with my second wife and eldest son. Masha ended up there with Artem (they were already divorced then) and Anya. I haven't seen Shukshina since my student years. We made eye contact and something inside clicked. It wasn’t some kind of sexual passion, I never paid attention to a woman’s lips, ass and legs, I was attracted to something else - at the age of 18, lovers want to fuck even in front of their parents. That same evening we all went to a restaurant together, chatted cheerfully about something, and shared news. And after some time, we called Masha, met and... started living in the same apartment. And they signed at the same time as receiving Makar’s birth certificate. This became a logical continuation of our relationship. Grandma Lida was waiting for us with the baby in her arms in the car, and there was no magnificent celebration afterwards. — Do you and Maria have a normal relationship now? Doesn't she forbid you to see her son? “Fortunately, quite recently everything has improved and stabilized for us. We call back and meet. We don’t have a sexual relationship, but who knows, maybe someday we will. - If you now offered Masha to live together again, would she agree? “She would think I was crazy.” They cannot enter the same river twice. For what? Out of despair? If only someone would bring some water? Masha and I live by the principle: “What if you don’t want to drink.” - Do you think she's happy now? - (After a long silence.) What is happiness?

You can't erase the words from a song

From an interview with Maria SHUKSHINA - We must take any situation for granted. There is a marriage - good, no - also good. And looking at Makar, I often remember my dad. He dreamed that when he grew old and appeared everywhere arm in arm with me, everyone around would gasp: “What a young, beautiful mistress Shukshin has!” So I dreamed of the same thing: that I would have a son and that when he grows up, he would walk with me arm in arm, and everyone would admire: “What a young, handsome lover Shukshina has!
