6 children and gays on fire: biography and personal life of Ivan Okhlobystin

Childhood and youth

For many, Oksana Arbuzova is a mother of many children and a faithful life partner of the popular Russian actor Ivan Okhlobystin.
But for the first time her name appeared on the lips of movie lovers back in the 90s, when she played the main role in the film “Accident - the Cop’s Daughter.” Arbuzova was born on April 24, 1973 in the family of a geologist and lawyer. Oksana was the youngest child. When she was born, the eldest daughter Elena was already growing up in a young friendly family.

As children, my sisters had to spend 5 days a week in kindergarten, since their parents worked a lot and there was no one to sit with the girls. Like every child, they missed their mother and father, but Oksana was never mischievous and humbly experienced separation from her parents.

As a child, the baby suffered from a stomach illness, so she was forbidden to eat sweets. And she loved sweets so much that she often violated her parents’ ban.

If she managed to find hidden sweets, she would eat them with pleasure, despite the fact that she would be punished. The punishment was unpleasant, they simply didn’t talk to her for a long time, but her love for sweets still prevailed.

Not even a couple of days had passed before, after eating prohibited sweets, the little girl with severe painful attacks was taken to the hospital, where a probe and serious treatment awaited her. Every time she suffered from pain, she promised herself that she would never eat sweets.

When Oksana grew up, she became seriously interested in acting. While attending a theater studio, she decided to become a professional actress. Arbuzova entered VGIK for an acting and directing course, which was led by the famous director S. Solovyov.

In 1995, she received her diploma and became an actress, as she dreamed of as a child, but by and large, her merits in this were less than they should have been. Oksana was not a good student, she often missed classes and had bad habits. So, to a greater extent, she owes her diploma to Solovyov.

Life before the era of Okhlobystin

Oksana Arbuzova was born on April 24, 1973 in the family of a geologist father and a lawyer mother. The parents worked a lot, and the children were sent to a suburban kindergarten for five days. Elder sister Lena burst into tears while sitting on the bus. Oksana experienced the pain of parting with her parents in silence.

The lack of parents in early childhood gave rise to Oksana's painful attachment to her father and mother . Especially to my mother. When, because of children's pranks, her mother stopped talking to Oksana, it became unimaginable torture for the girl. She immediately confessed everything, repented and asked for forgiveness.

In her article “Oksana Okhlobystina. Ivan’s Rib,” she recalls that mom and dad never quarreled, at least the children never saw it.

That is why Oksana dreamed of a family and children since childhood. I didn’t think much about what profession she would be. I wanted to be a teacher, a doctor, never an actress.

Oksana explains the fact that she became an actress in a unique way: “But I became an actress in order to meet Okhlobystin.” By chance, which, according to the same Arbuzova, is “the language of God,” she began to study in a theater group.

She did not go there to become an actress, but only because of the feeling of a real family, the value of which she realized in early childhood. In one of the performances, film director Leonid Belozorovich noticed her , and invited Oksana to play the role of a high school student in the film “Katenka”. She was thirteen. This film was modest, but Oksana remembers it as a bright, clean film, which she is not ashamed of and enjoys showing to children.

Another film, “Obsession,” directed by Nikolai Istanbul, also went unnoticed. But on the set, Oksana showed her character. In Saratov, the actress slammed the door of her hotel room. Creative people, helpless in the face of any everyday difficulties, began to fuss and look for an administrator.

Meanwhile, Oksana from the next room, along the balcony, climbed into her room and opened the door. This incident impressed Istanbul so much that he recommended Arbuzov for the role of Accident to his friend, director Tumanashvili.

The film “Accident, Daughter of a Cop” thundered throughout the USSR. According to the script, the main character is Avaria, an informal girl, the daughter of a police officer, who always ends up in the most scandalous stories. The climax of the story is that the rebel Avaria was raped by a group of majors.

Her father (played by the brilliant actor Alexander Ilyin) took revenge for his daughter, with whom he could not find even a couple of common words. The majors' car flew into the abyss, and the cop father was arrested.

The last frames show Avaria's awareness, she runs to her father, who is already in handcuffs, with a silent cry: “Forgive me, daddy!”

This drama about the relationship between two generations at the turn of the era made Oksana Aarbuzova a star. It’s interesting that the role of Avaria was initially offered to Natalya Guseva, who once played the charming Alisa Selezneva in the film “Guest from the Future.” Natalya refused because of the gang rape scene, not wanting to spoil the pure image of the girl with whom all the schoolchildren of the 80s were in love.

One way or another, the burden of fame fell on the sixteen-year-old schoolgirl. She herself says that she was not ready for such a test. At every step they recognized her: “Look, Accident, Accident!” Her huge portraits hung in the center of Moscow, and the roof was completely blown away. As Oksana herself admits, the sin of acting is that something from the hero you play penetrates into the actor.

She experienced this to the fullest. She began to be rude to her mother, her beloved, painfully beloved mother. There were no authorities for her at that moment; it seemed to her that she knew everything better and would understand everything more easily. As she admits, from Avaria she inherited aggression and rejection of common truths.

She stopped paying due attention to her studies , and all the teachers who knew Oksana as a diligent and capable student were in shock. Instead of twos, they gave her big zeros, and wrote in her diary: “Fell from the stove,” “Flying in the clouds.”

At the Moscow Art Theater School she brilliantly passed the “acting skills” test, but failed general education subjects. Oleg Tabakov, having considered the obvious talent, was ready to take her on as a free listener.

But, Sergei Solovyov was just getting into the ARS (acting and directing group) at that moment, and, despite the “B” composition, the director accepted her. They say that someone specially rewrote her essay.

Studying at the university was going so-so, Oksana only enjoyed going to acting classes. “By the fourth year, I had accumulated so many “tails” that when they posted a piece of paper on the board where they were made public, they were “rails in two rows.” She was on the verge of expulsion. But she was not expelled. Oksana left on her own. In her fourth year she met Okhlobystin.

Film career

Studying at school was not easy for Oksana. Entering the Moscow Art Theater School, she had excellent grades in acting, but had problems with general education subjects.

For example, she could not answer the question that every student knew at that time - when V.I. Lenin died. Although the girl managed to deftly get out of this sticky situation by answering the teacher with the famous slogan in the USSR about the eternally living Lenin.

The famous O. Tabakov, noticing that the girl definitely had talent, advised the commission to accept her as a free listener. At this time, Arbuzova heard rumors that there was a shortage in Solovyov’s course at VGIK, and she went to conquer another university. This time luck smiled at her, and she became a student at the famous institute.

Oksana has never been a diligent student. She only attended classes that taught acting. As a result, by the fourth year she had accumulated a lot of “debts” in other subjects. She was able to graduate from university only thanks to her mentor.

As a student, Arbuzova actively acted in films. In V. Priemykhov’s film “Migrants,” which was released across the country in the early 90s, she played the main role of migrant Polina, who decided that by moving to Moscow, her life would immediately become better. The actress starred in the film together with D. Karasev, who also played a migrant.

In the crime drama “Made in the USSR” by V. Shamshurin, Oksana got the role of Katya. Her partner in the film was the famous actor Armen Dzhigarkhanyan, who embodied the image of a school director-dictator on the screen.

Then there was a new interesting role of Zhenya Babich in the historical drama “White Clothes” by L. Belozorovich, where she was lucky enough to work in the same team with popular artists V. Garkalin and A. Boltnev.

In Y. Rogozin’s film “Male Zigzag,” Arbuzova played the role of Anya Egorova. In A. Proshkin’s film “See Paris and Die,” the young actress appeared in the role of Luda. The next work was M. Tumanishvili’s film “Stalin’s Testament” and the new role of Zhenya.

The talent of the young actress was noticed by many directors, so there were quite a lot of offers to act. But suddenly Arbuzova stopped acting.

Meeting Ivan Okhlobystin

It would seem that the young and talented actress had everything going well in her profession. There were roles, new offers, but something changed suddenly, she no longer wanted to act.

Depression pulled her deeper and deeper into its net. She spent days lying on the bed, not reacting to any stimuli, looking at one point and thinking about something. Her already difficult character became even worse. Best friends became exes because they did not want to fall under her heavy hand.

The actress herself described this time as “being in a black pipe with no way out.” She sometimes even had suicidal thoughts. In rare moments of enlightenment, she would sneak out of the house. On one of these days, a fateful meeting took place with the man of her life.

Arbuzova came to the House of Cinema for accreditation to the Moscow Film Festival. Oksana was going upstairs, Ivan was hurrying to the exit, when the door hit him on the head, the girl laughed. In response, he shouted that she would be his. At that moment, the young people did not notice anyone around, there were only him and her. His words sank into the girl’s soul.

Ivan Okhlobystin - wife, children, personal life

Since childhood, fate has prepared many trials for Ivan. The age difference between his parents was almost 50 years. Mom was barely 18 when she met the father of the future artist and gave birth to a son from him. By the way, the man already had children from previous marriages, much older than his young wife. Perhaps this was one of the reasons for the breakup of their family. When Okhlobystin was still a child, dad decided to leave the family. A strict mother raised the boy alone.

The childhood and school period in Ivan’s life were unremarkable. The usual gray everyday life of an ordinary Soviet boy. After receiving the certificate, the young man decided to enter VGIK. Right at the entrance exams, he shocked the members of the commission, but was enrolled. But I didn’t manage to graduate from college the first time: I was called up for military service in the army. After demobilization, Okhlobystin recovered and continued his studies.

In his youth, Ivan became a representative of the biker movement. Even while holding the post of clergyman, he continued to wear a leather jacket and had tattoos on his body. According to the artist himself, he made them while intoxicated and they do not carry any hidden meaning. Okhlobystin deliberately filled his chest with only a skull overgrown with flowers. This is the symbol of a dead biker. After a person has a family, he becomes dead like an extreme sportsman, because he no longer consciously risks his life and constantly thinks about his children.

The presence of tattoos and a hot temper in no way affected the development of Ivan’s acting career. He also achieved enormous success as a director, journalist and screenwriter. The versatility of his talent is impressive. In addition to all this, the man manages to hold services in the church, although recently he asked to limit their number.

Family life

During the first pregnancy, the loving couple were expecting the birth of a boy. They were so sure of this that they came up with only a male name - Egor.

Despite the wishes of the parents, the first-born in their family was a beautiful baby, whom they named Anfisa. The girl was born in August 1996.

When the bundle with the baby was shown to the young father, he began performing wild steps in a chaotic and at the same time happy dance in front of the medical staff.

I didn't have to wait long for my second pregnancy. Evdokia was born literally a year and a half after her older sister. Varvara, the third daughter of the Okhlobystins, was born in 1999.

It so happened that the baby almost died in early childhood. Arbuzova believes that the Lord heeded their sincere prayers and did not let them lose the baby.

When the family already had three daughters, it was clear that everyone was waiting for the birth of an heir. During the period when Okhlobystin was ordained to the priesthood by Metropolitan Vladimir of Tashkent, a boy finally appeared in the family. And then there was another girl, who was given the name Joanna. Relatives are accustomed to calling the girl Nyusha.

In 2006, the mother of many children gave birth to her sixth child - son Savva, who immediately became everyone’s favorite and darling.

Once discussing the difficulties of motherhood, especially about mothers of many children, Arbuzova said that it is difficult to be the mother of one child, but with each subsequent one it becomes much easier.

First of all, we are talking about maternal instinct. Children, in her opinion, cry because they lack love and attention. In this case, older brothers and sisters are simply irreplaceable.

Usually they love to tinker with their little ones, running around with them and playing with them as if they were living dolls. Arbuzova is convinced that motherhood is a real pleasure.

Since the Okhlobystins had problems with housing, in 2010 they received a new house from the state. He was in Trinity-Lykovo. The family happily moved there. Ivan made sure that Oksana had a large car. This made it easier for her to take the kids to classes.

How many children does Ivan Okhlobystin have: sons and daughters

Ivan and his wife Oksana had six children: two sons and four daughters. Okhlobystin adores them, is proud of their successes and often shares interesting facts about his daughters and sons in his interviews.

Daughter Anfisa

Okhlobystin’s eldest daughter, Anfisa, is 22 years old. She is studying marketing at Moscow State University. According to Ivan, Anfisa is a very purposeful girl “with an iron character.” In addition, since childhood she has been my mother’s assistant: she looked after her younger brothers and sisters and did housework.

Anfisa's preferences in music and cinema were inherited from her father. She loves the songs of Garik Sukachev, Queen and Muse. In addition, the girl enjoys watching films that have already become classics of world cinema. Her favorite films include The Matrix, Dracula and A Nightmare on Elm Street.

Evdokia Okhlobystina

A year after Anfisa’s birth, the Okhlobystins had another daughter, Evdokia. As children, girls often competed with each other “for seniority.” Dusya is also a creative person - in her free time she plays the electric guitar. However, the girl has a very serious profession - ornithologist.

Two years ago, a girl brought a little duckling into her house. She saw a cat bite a chick on the neck on the street and could not pass by. The actor’s family took care of the “baby” - he was treated and fed millet.

Varvara Okhlobystina

Ivan Okhlobystin’s daughter Varvara is 19 years old. The girl practices vocals and posts videos of her singing on her Instagram and produces her own videos. Famous musicians Basta and Maxim Fadeev help Vara with this. In addition, Varvara sang a duet with the leader of the group “Serga” Sergei Galanin.

Recently, the girl was spotted in church together with the actor of the series “Interns” and the hero of the show “The Bachelor” Ilya Glinnikov. The press began to talk about the romance between Glinnikov and Varya Okhlobystina, to which the girl ironically responded - she is not fighting for the heart of “Uncle Ilya,” whom she has known since childhood.

Son of Ivan Okhlobystin - Vasily

The actor’s eldest son Vasily is 17 years old. The boy loves to read and writes stories. In addition, he is interested in sports - he goes to shooting and boxing classes. Oksana Arbuzova says that Vasya has been very supportive of her since childhood. When the boy sees that his mother is tired, he comes up to hug her. Vasily has a warm relationship with his sisters. And Okhlobystin’s eldest son serves as a sexton in the church.

Ivan shared a photo on his Instagram showing the boy in a special outfit. The photo aroused interest among the actor’s fans, but Okhlobystin decided not to answer their questions.

Ioanna Okhlobystina

Okhlobystin affectionately calls his youngest daughter Ioanna Nyusha. It is known that the girl is 16 years old, and she is a versatile person. Ioanna studies at a school with an Orthodox bias and is interested in exact sciences. The girl has her mother’s character - she is very calm and likes to spend her free time reading books.

And, of course, Nyusha has a lot of creative activities. She writes stories well with a “gothic twist.” In addition, together with her younger brother, the girl studied music, but this is not exactly what her soul lies in.

Savva Ivanovich Okhlobystin

Ivan Okhlobystin’s youngest son Savva is now 12 years old. According to his father, the boy is very similar to him - “the same prankster.” At the same time, Savva always helps dad with household chores. The Okhlobystins now have a three-story house, and each family member, including him, has their own household responsibilities.

In addition, the boy also writes stories, often attends church and even wanted to become a priest in the future. Ivan understands that his son may change his mind more than once on which path in life to take, but he is ready to support him. Savva also plays music - he plays the balalaika.

Ivan Okhlobystin’s family can safely be called exemplary. The actor considers mutual respect to be the secret of success. His daughters and sons are completely different, and he is attentive to the interests of each of them. In addition, Ivan and Oksana would be happy if children appeared in their family again.
