After the death of the famous Russian theater and film artist Dmitry Maryanov, articles describing his personal life began to appear more and more often in the press. Let us remember that the late actor left behind a wife and daughter. My wife's name is Ksenia Bik. Fans are wondering how the woman will live after the death of her husband and whether she will have enough strength to cope with grief. What is known about the biography of Dmitry Maryanov’s widow, Ksenia Bik, read in our article.
Fans of Dmitry Maryanov believe that his wife’s last name, Bik, is not real. Internet users note that in Kharkov, where the girl is from, there is a completely different type of surname and method of their formation. Most likely, the girl chose such a surname to make it easier for journalists to remember her. It is unknown why Ksenia did not take the surname of her now deceased husband.
Biography of Ksenia Bik
What is known about the biography of Ksenia Bik and her personal life before meeting Dmitry Maryanov? The artist's fans are concerned about the age of his widow. The girl was born in 1986. She is 31. She is 17 years younger than Dmitry. Many modern artists of Russian theater and cinema choose women younger than themselves as their chosen ones. This is by no means a new practice.
Ksenia Bik was born in Kharkov. It is known that the girl’s father is a retired major general of the counterintelligence of Ukraine, and her mother is a teacher of the Russian language at a department with foreign specialization.
Ksenia Bik and Dmitry Maryanov
Ksenia received her higher education in Kharkov. She is a psychologist by profession. There, in Kharkov, I entered graduate school. Ksenia dreamed of getting a doctorate in psychology.
Biographical facts
After the death of her husband, Ksenia wrote him a farewell letter, full of pain and grief, and then published it on Facebook on her page. A woman is having a hard time coping with the loss of her husband. But at the same time, she also fights off numerous “well-wishers” who blame her for Maryanov’s death.
Let's try to figure out why this happened and what Ksenia really is like?
Ksenia was born on April 3, 1986 in Ukraine, in Kharkov.
The girl’s father is liable for military service, has the rank of major general in the counterintelligence of Ukraine, and is currently retired. In 2014, he was taken into custody as a political prisoner, and was released only in 2020.
Mom is a senior lecturer of history at the Kharkov National University. V. N. Kazarina.
In 2002, Ksenia graduated from high school No. 51, received a diploma and decided to continue her education. She entered the Kharkov National University at the Faculty of Psychology and also completed her postgraduate studies. After a while, Bik successfully defended her dissertation and became a candidate of psychological sciences. She currently provides consultations privately.
Where and when did she meet her future husband?
The meeting of Ksenia Bik and Dmitry Maryanov was a real accident for both of them. They met at the artist's performance. The girl remembers that she did not want to go there. Ksenia ended up in the hall quite by accident - she decided to support her mother, who had no one to go with.
The girl was sitting in the front row. The actor noticed her immediately. After the performance, he invited her to a concert at the club, where they met. The man wanted to ask for a tour of Kharkov with a continuation. However, Ksenia refused him - Dmitry did not expect this. He was used to women always fulfilling his wishes. Perhaps it was precisely her refusal that Ksenia interested him. He wanted to conquer this inaccessible beauty and prove to her that he was really worth something.
Ksenia and Dmitry met at a performance
For a long time, Dmitry and Ksenia communicated by phone and also corresponded. A month has passed. Ksenia decided to go to the actor in Moscow. This happened in 2009.
Ksenia Bik's parents were not happy with the changes in their daughter's personal life. They did not expect that she would connect her biography with a famous artist. It seemed to them that this was a real adventure - to go to a strange city to visit an unfamiliar person, and even more so to a man.
Meet the actor
The actor's future wife was born in 1986 in Kharkov. Her father is a military man and was an employee in the Security Service of Ukraine. Mom taught history at the University named after V.N. Karazin. The girl’s parents accepted her choice when she decided to become a psychologist after school. After graduating from university, Ksenia did not stop there and defended her dissertation, receiving the title of Candidate of Psychological Sciences.
The future spouses met in her city, where the actor came with his colleagues on tour. Bik was not going to go to the theater that evening, but due to the fact that her mother’s friend could not go to the play, the girl kept her company. During the performance, Ksenia noticed that Dmitry was casting interested glances at her, and after the performance he invited her to a nightclub. The girl did not immediately agree to join the actor, however, her mother insisted that her daughter rest a little. That evening Maryanov talked to her and asked for her phone number.
Ksenia Bik with her husband Dmitry Maryanov
After leaving, he often called Ksenia and constantly invited her to visit. One day she got ready and came to Moscow, but close relationships between the lovers did not arise immediately. Their romance lasted for some time, which is why the beauty had to often fly to her beloved. Her parents did not approve of the changes in her personal life, but they soon learned that their daughter was expecting a child from the actor.
How did events develop further?
Dmitry Maryanov was assertive towards his new girlfriend. Ksenia had no choice but to submit to him. A strong passion flared up between them. What happened next is what often happens to couples who have plunged headlong into the abyss of passion - Ksenia became pregnant. At that time, the girl did not think that Dima would ever marry her. She understood that she could become a single mother. However, Ksenia still did not have an abortion. She was even ready to raise a child alone.
When her daughter Anfisa was born, Ksenia lived in Kharkov. The artist often came there to visit his girls. Let us remember that daughter Anfisa was born in 2009.
What did journalists write about the relationship between Maryanov and Bik on the eve of the wedding?
Information about the wedding of Dmitry Maryanov and his beloved woman Ksenia Bik appeared in the press at the end of 2014. Until the moment the artist decided to officially connect his life with his beloved, they said about him that he was a very flighty man. Not a single girl stayed with him for long. For fans of Maryanov, his desire to get married was unexpected. Many could not believe that the man decided to settle down and was ready to start a full-fledged family.
Previously, in his interviews, Dmitry has repeatedly stated that he is not ready for a serious relationship. The man wanted to enjoy the company of beautiful girls without obligations. Only recently did he reconsider his views on life and decide that he was ready to become a husband.
Photos from the wedding of Dmitry and Ksenia
The director of one of the films where Dmitry Maryanov starred, Oleg Fesenko, believes that Dima was lucky to connect his life with Ksenia, and not vice versa. Of course, she is a simple girl from Kharkov, who attracted the attention of a famous artist. Not everyone gets this chance. Ksenia was able to surround Dmitry with care and affection - this is how she bribed him. The man decided that Ksenia was exactly the one he needed.
Mikhail's brother was glad that Dmitry was going to get married. The man approved of the artist's choice. Mikhail also urged Maryanov’s fans not to believe rumors that the artist is a flighty person. Mikhail was sure that Dmitry was not at all what he was portrayed to be in the press. Of course, he had his weaknesses - but he managed to cope with them.
How did the relationship between Dmitry and Ksenia develop after the wedding?
After the lovers got married, they stopped hiding the truth about Ksenia’s child. Before the wedding, there were rumors among Dmitry’s fans that he was raising someone else’s child. Ksenia Bik was credited with a non-existent first husband, with whom she allegedly broke up. It was believed that Bik gave birth to a daughter from him. Many wondered why the artist married a woman with a child when he could have found himself some lonely young lady. The truth became known closer to the wedding date.
The couple were happily married
Ksenia says that she did not want to advertise information about who the real father of her child is. After all, their relationship with Dima had not yet been formalized. When the lovers got married, everything fell into place. Fans of Dmitry Maryanov learned that Anfisa is really his daughter.
Ksenia got married for the first time - before Dima she did not have an official husband. The press does not know who the widow of the Russian artist previously met with. It is possible that Dmitry Maryanov is the first man in her life.
Dmitry Maryanov with his family
In interviews with the press, Ksenia and Dmitry repeatedly mentioned that their daughter Anfisa literally doted on her father. The artist even managed to come up with a comic nickname for the girl - “Frying Pan”. Anfisa was often offended if her dad called her something else. She wanted to be a “Frying Pan” for him. Fans of the artist considered the nickname completely unkind and even inappropriate for a child. Some were very surprised to learn that Dmitry Maryanov calls his beloved daughter that way.
The actor was a good father. He often took his daughter to the zoo, park and bought her ice cream. Dmitry wanted the girl’s childhood to be as happy as possible. Ksenia believed that her husband was spoiling Anfisa a lot. She told him not to buy Anfisa sweets so often. After all, the girl is growing up to be a gymnast. She doesn't need extra weight.
The birth of a daughter and starting a family
When her daughter Anfisa was born, Ksenia continued to live in her hometown. Maryanov visited them from time to time and talked with the baby. The girl was not ready to give up everything and move to Moscow, so this relationship between them lasted four years. Surprisingly, there were many beautiful and successful women in the actor’s life, but he never took any of them to the registry office, but Bik proposed. Despite this, she was in no hurry to formalize a relationship with him, as she wanted to make sure that they were both ready for family life.

Only in 2020 did the lovers get married, and then everyone found out that Dmitry had a daughter. Earlier, journalists wrote that the girl was born in Ksenia’s first marriage, although in fact she was never married. According to Bick, the actor loved her very much and often told her about it. Despite her husband’s difficult character, she found the patience and wisdom to resolve situations and settle quarrels in the family. Dmitry doted on his daughter, jokingly calling her Frying Pan. Together they went for walks or went to the zoo and circus, feasted on cotton candy and ice cream.
Reaction of Dmitry Maryanov's wife to his death
Dmitry Maryanov's wife Ksenia Bik is experiencing the death of her husband extremely hard. The woman believes that this is the biggest loss in her personal life. She cannot imagine herself or her biography without her beloved man. Now the woman is supported by her family and friends.

Despite the bereavement, Ksenia will still have to pull herself together. She has a little daughter who needs attention and care. It is possible that at first, relatives and close families will help Ksenia raise her daughter until Bik comes to his senses.
It is known from unverified sources that the woman even required medical assistance after she learned of her husband’s death.
“With Lobacheva he flew, but with Ksenia he sank” - Maryanova’s widow brought her lover to the artist’s house
“He was very shy when he was drunk: he hid from people, did not want to cause inconvenience to anyone, was not aggressive, and arrogant. I put on black glasses and tried to turn into an invisible man.”

The public has developed a strong hostile attitude towards Dmitry Maryanov's widow, Ksenia Bik. Perhaps because it was she who sent her husband to the semi-legal Phoenix hospital near Moscow, where he tragically died under unclear circumstances in 2017 (he was there from October 5-15). Or are her strange interviews to blame:
I, like a wife, did not push through the topic of a will, deed of gift, adoption... I did not do this and ended up in a funnel...
– she said with regret about the protracted division of the artist’s property.
She didn’t push... But it was necessary to put pressure on the kindest person in the world, who was very embarrassed about his alcohol addiction... To push, so that he would remember and cave in and bend over, which is, by the way, what happened. But more on that later.

Claiming Maryanov’s 50 million property are his widow Ksenia Bik, the artist’s father, 90-year-old Yuri Grigorievich, and 24-year-old son Daniil from his marriage to Olga Anosova.
And today they looked askance at the widow when she introduced her new man to the world. It turned out to be the famous metropolitan journalist Sergei Sobolev. Sobolev previously worked as a columnist for popular radio stations, and since last year he has been employed as the editor-in-chief of the Echo of Perm project.

Ksenia’s daughter, Anfisa, whom she gave birth to from a Ukrainian millionaire, has already accepted a new dad.
On Instagram, Ksenia published a recording of the live broadcast:
We have similar fates, we are both widowers
- said Bik. They have known Sergei for about six months, and have now decided to live together in Maryanov’s apartment.

Once, on a talk show, Daniil’s lawyer Victoria Krylova spoke about a woman, because of her love for whom the actor wanted to divorce Bik. Like, this secret beloved of Maryanov needs nothing now except one thing - to find those responsible for the strange death of the 47-year-old film handsome man.

Express newspaper (December 2019) published the confessions of this girl, Yanina Lyubovitskaya. They are so piercing and touching that I wanted to share with you.

Dima and I were close for many years. The last time I heard his voice was the day before the fateful day. Dima called at night. I have never heard him so lost and cornered.
They met a long time ago on the set of Alexander Kasatkin’s film. Yanina was an administrator, Dima acted - she was 24 at that time, he was 37.
It was fun and carefree with him. He's a great man! Until he drinks... I saw that alcohol has a bad effect on him

Yanina did not want to associate herself with a person with addiction, she could not become the wife of a “drinking artist.” She left him shortly before his affair with figure skater Irina Lobacheva:
Now I’m cursing myself for leaving Dima, for not saving him... I was young, weak, inexperienced, probably... The producers constantly reprimanded me that Dima was out of shape and that I didn’t keep an eye on him, that he came in terrible and, God forbid, it disrupts the shooting. But nothing ever went wrong because of Dima, although there was a lot of panic
Yanina admits that even after breaking up they did not stop communicating:
Even when we broke up, we still crossed paths constantly. On the set of the last film, “Operation Muhabbat,” where Dima played Gorbachev, he walked around like a homeless person and drank cologne. Then he said that he was very unhappy and wanted to leave his wife, but she wouldn’t let him go and terrorized him. Did he love Ksenia Bik? It seems to me that he never loved a single woman as much as he loved his mother.
According to Lyubovitskaya, a man would not drink if he felt good at home:
Don’t think that I have any jealousy towards his wife. No. But the difference is visible to the naked eye: next to Lobacheva he flew, but with Ksenia he sank very much and sank to the bottom. If a man loves and is loved, if the house is warm and cozy, will he drink so much? I understand that I cannot blame the one who managed to bring him to the registry office
Shortly before going to Phoenix, Dima called Yanina again and asked for help - he dreamed of getting rid of his addiction, but he didn’t want to go to that clinic.
Kasatkin and I were looking for a government clinic where we could save him. But we didn't help. Nobody. And we all - friends, family, colleagues - are to blame for this. Forgive us, Dima...
How could you lose someone like that? :(
