Childhood
Sasha was born into a theatrical family of artists, whose ancestors had long had significant weight in the cinematic environment. Her grandfather was the famous Oleg Strizhenov, and her grandmother was Marianna Strizhenova, who became the first friend of the cinematic “Gadfly”. The girl’s mother, Natalya, married a colleague on stage, but the young people did not live together for long - the man turned out to be too demanding and harsh in everyday life, which neither Sasha’s grandmother nor her mother liked.
Since the parent was constantly busy filming films and working on stage, the granddaughter was taken care of exclusively by the grandmother, so for the girl she replaced both mom and dad. As Kholoshina recalls in an interview with a glossy publication, the famous grandfather practically did not take any part in the life of their small family, for which the girl is not at all offended by the artist.
Alexandra Kholoshina’s relationship with her father did not work out - his harsh lectures about the innocent theft of a tea bag for her beloved grandmother were etched in the woman’s memory for the rest of her life. Since then, fear of a parent has forever taken root in a woman’s personal life and biography.
Alexandra’s mother was always preoccupied only with herself and spent a lot of time on her own appearance, did not pay any attention to her daughter, and, in the end, openly pushed Sasha off to her elderly mother. She was not at all offended by the unlucky heiress of related antiques and expensive furs, justifying Natalya’s behavior to her granddaughter with her desire to improve her personal life. Even then, Alexandra saw her mother’s craving for alcohol and tried not to catch her eye.

Two women lived especially poorly after the collapse of the Union. There wasn’t enough money even for food, so my grandmother had to get a job as a watchman at her own entrance. At the same time, neither dad nor mother was at all worried about the half-starved existence of their little daughter. A little later, when Sasha grew up, she managed to find a part-time job in a small cafe near her house and the family began to make some good money - the boss of the establishment felt sorry for both the clumsy teenager and the once famous actress, who had become hostages of difficult life circumstances.
Strizhenova's granddaughter talks about how she lost her apartment and her relationship with her grandfather and her husbands
Perhaps, after this publication, my relationship with my grandfather, Oleg Strizhenov, will collapse completely.
But in truth, they didn’t exist. I don’t hold any grudges against Oleg, Lina, or anyone at all. I'm just telling you honestly how it all happened. When the film “The Gadfly” was shown on TV, my grandmother Marianna Aleksandrovna said: “Sasha, drop everything, sit down and watch.” This picture meant a lot in her life: on the set she met her future husband, Oleg Strizhenov.
Both played the main roles - Gemma and Gadfly - and transferred their cinematic romance to real life. In 1957, two years after the film was released, their daughter Natasha, my mother, was born. And eleven years later they divorced.
Usually Marianna Strizhenova is considered some kind of addition to her famous ex-husband. It's not fair. Grandmother is from a hereditary theatrical family: my great-grandfather Alexander Ivanovich Gryzunov was a leading actor of the Moscow Art Theater, as was his wife Maria Leontyevna, who came from the Armenian princely family of the Bebutovs.
Even before meeting Oleg Strizhenov, Marianna at the Mossovet Theater played in the plays “Oleko Dundich”, “Handsome Man”, “Undergrown”, and starred in the films “Generous Summer” and “Taras Shevchenko”.
Then her maiden name was Bebutova.
And later, my grandmother acted a lot, including with famous directors: with Mark Donskoy in “Foma Gordeev”, with Alexander Zarkhi in “Height”. Viewers still remember the films with her participation: “The Blind Musician”, “The Gutta-percha Boy”, “They were known only by sight”, “Vacation at your own expense”, “Take care of the men!”, “The artist from Gribov”, “Fathers” ...
She never told me: “I loved Oleg.” She did not have an unearthly feeling for Strizhenov; his framed portrait did not stand in a prominent place. On the shelf in the first row there was a photograph of another person - Venechka Kirillov, her first husband, who died at the front.
A young handsome man in the uniform of a lieutenant colonel, the spitting image of my great-grandfather - Alexander Gryzunov. In our house, “Venechka” was constantly heard and “Oleg” was heard very rarely. Even when she told bedtime stories, her first husband was always present in them.
I don't remember my grandparents together. This is probably why I never had the feeling that Oleg Strizhenov was my grandfather. I most often called him by his first or last name.
After the divorce, my grandmother and Natasha remained to live in an apartment on Kalinin Avenue, in one of four high-rise buildings, where a two-story “Pharmacy” was located on the ground floor. Mom studied at the Moscow Academic Choreographic School, then, in 1980, she graduated from VGIK.
Death of mother and grandmother
The parent, who did not pay any attention to the growing Alexandra and completely withdrew from Kholoshina’s personal life and biography, died in her sleep. After the death of her parent from excessive use of tranquilizers and alcohol, the girl did not even have common photographs with her once beautiful and well-groomed mother.
The long-suffering Marianna Aleksandrovna could not stand such a blow of fate - she also began to drink from the bottle. No matter how hard sixteen-year-old Sasha tried to control the person dear to her, she was unable to protect her grandmother from cunning black realtors.
As a result, Marianna Strizhenova died just on the day of payment of 200,000 rubles due under the life annuity agreement. And 7 days after the funeral, the girl had to go spend the night at her permanent place of work - the owner of the cafe allowed Sasha to spend the night for several days in the back room. There was a guest living in my mother’s apartment, whom, according to the agreement, she could not kick out.

In the early 2000s, not a single decision was made in the Kremlin without his consent, notes Dmitry Zhuravlev

Alexander Stalyevich Voloshin played a huge role in the formation of modern Russia. They talked and wrote a lot about him in the early 2000s, and they continue to talk and write about him now. And yet we know little about him. Even the all-knowing Wikipedia gives a very brief summary of Voloshin. It seems that this is not the biography of a major government official, but the biography of Stirlitz.
From the Moscow-Sortirovochnaya depot to the Presidential Administration
Judge for yourself. In 1978, Voloshin graduated from the Moscow Institute of Transport Engineers and worked at the Moscow-Sortirovochnaya depot. And already in 1983 he entered the Academy of Foreign Trade, which he graduated in 1986. The point is not even that there is a huge distance between the Moscow-Sortirovochnaya depot and foreign trade. Anyone who is familiar with Soviet realities knows that it was impossible to just get into the foreign policy and foreign trade spheres. This required the support and recommendation of either the party or special bodies. Not simple, oh how simple Alexander Voloshin was from the very beginning.
Then he worked at the All-Union Research Market Institute. The next five years are not reflected in the biography. Afterwards, they immediately talk about his rapid ascent to the heights of power to the position of assistant to the head of the Presidential Administration, Valentin Yumashev . Already in 1998, Voloshin was appointed deputy head of the Administration. He maintained this position even after Boris Yeltsin .
Moreover, after the resignation of the first president of Russia, Voloshin not only retained his positions, but also sharply strengthened them. From 2000 to 2003, Alexander Stalyevich concentrated almost all administrative power in his hands. This period became the pinnacle of his activity. It was he who built the administrative vertical, which still exists today in a much softer form.
Voloshin’s power vertical
How did this man manage to concentrate such power in his hands? Let's try to guess.
The first clue lies in these five years, which are not publicly reflected in Voloshin’s biography. During this period he worked for Boris Abramovich Berezovsky . The almost omnipotent oligarch at that time brought him to the Presidential Administration. Moreover, he brought him together with Yeltsin’s entourage – those who were called “family”.
However, such a solution gives rise to a new mystery: why in 1997-1999, when Berezovsky’s influence began to decline, Voloshin not only did not lose his position, but even strengthened it. He took over the post of head of the Administration, which was vacated by Yumashev. Moreover, Alexander Stalyevich not only occupies this post, but concentrates all power in his hands. In practice, he was the power. Even the government is subordinate to the administration. Under him, a decision is being prepared to cancel gubernatorial elections, which was implemented already under Vladimir Putin . An administrative vertical is being created. With its help, the Kremlin controlled the entire country and each region separately.
The answer lies in Voloshin’s ability to create a vertical: to build and subordinate everyone to his will. In the late 1990s, Yeltsin's health deteriorated, leading to a weakening of his power. The confrontation with Yevgeny Primakov and especially the story with Yuri Skuratov showed that the president was often unable to use even the powers that he possessed. In the conditions of the leapfrog of prime ministers, the head of state could not rely on the government. Moreover, there was a high danger that the government would oppose the president.
The appointment of Shoigu's son-in-law as Deputy Prosecutor General: dynasties in power, or Why Famusov was rightThe news about Alexei Zakharov's new position became another reason for an information attack on the Russian Defense Minister, notes Dmitry Zhuravlev
The only body that remained under the control of the president was the AP. To retain power, it was necessary to transform the Administration into a super-effective body for controlling and managing the country. Yumashev, a journalist and socialite, is simply incapable of this. Then Voloshin comes to the fore. It doesn’t matter that he is Berezovsky’s nominee and is not as close to the “family” as Yumashev. Voloshin is a rescuer, but the rescuer is not asked whether he is a relative or not.
In addition, he had deceptive appearance and manners. He seemed quiet and harmless. When Voloshin first came to the AP, there were people who looked down on him. They later regretted their mistakes.
As a result, Alexander Stalyevich remained the only person in Yeltsin’s entourage capable of using power. Naturally, he concentrated power in his hands.
Transit of power: from Yeltsin to Putin
In the early 2000s, Voloshin personified power. In this capacity, he was handed over “inheritedly” to Putin. In Russia at that time, it was not the nuclear briefcase, but Voloshin, that was the main attribute of the transferred power. In the first years of the new president's reign, the special role of the head of the Administration was inevitable.

The head of the Administration performed two functions. On the one hand, he guaranteed the integrity of the “family”, and on the other, he built and developed the administrative vertical. The creation of federal districts and the abolition of gubernatorial elections made this vertical total and absolute. Neither the governor's corps nor the Federation Council could no longer resist the will of the Presidential Administration. Subsequently, the vertical was built in a softer form: gubernatorial elections were returned, and the Kremlin’s control over the regions is exercised through financial rather than administrative instruments.
At first, Putin needed Voloshin in the role of chief administrator. At this time, the head of the AP had enormous power. Not a single decision was made without his consent. It was omnipotence and omnipresence that became the death sentence for Voloshin. Such a powerful second man in Russia, by the very fact of his existence, violates the chain of command and thereby breaks the system of power. In addition, the apparent concentration of power had a bad effect on Russia's image abroad. Therefore, after three years, Voloshin was removed from his position, and his vertical position was softened. However, the willpower and energy of this man were so great that he had influence on Russian officials for a long time, and some believe that he still has.
What is the mystery of Voloshin?
The great administrator Alexander Voloshin is the Stalin of the early 21st century. However, not being a politician, he can only occupy secondary roles. Therefore, his power can be enormous, but cannot be long. He is tolerated in a crisis situation. But not a single first in a stable situation will tolerate such a powerful second next to him. Therefore, Voloshin is a meteor of Russian power: he flashed and disappeared. And meteors are always mysterious.

Loss of a second home and first marriage
Pavel Emelyanov became the chosen one of the orphaned and semi-homeless Kholoshina. After the misadventures with her grandmother’s apartment, Alexandra’s friend suggested that the girl rent out an apartment in the city of Alexandrov, since rental housing in the provinces is much cheaper than in the capital. Here, the completely orphaned Alexandra met her first husband. After the unimaginable grief that befell the girl, a provincial suitor from among the regular visitors to the cafe-bar where Strizhenov’s granddaughter worked as a waitress seemed to Kholoshina to be the height of perfection. Although the girl did not experience any special romantic feelings for him, she just wanted human warmth and participation.
A year later, a child was supposed to appear in the family and Alexandra, if you believe her story, signed a general power of attorney for the tenant for the right to sell her mother’s apartment, located in a prestigious area of the capital, with the condition that the man would help collect all the necessary documents to conclude the deal for a decent commission.
As one would expect, the resourceful tenant did everything on his own and disappeared in an unknown direction, leaving his young mistress without registration.
The husband's parents agreed to provide temporary registration to the unlucky owner of Moscow real estate. By this time, a daughter, Lena, appeared in the family, but the marriage was bursting at the seams. Not wanting to escalate the situation, the young woman left to seek new happiness in the capital, leaving her small children in the care of her husband and his relatives. Kholoshina motivated her behavior solely by the desire for a better life for Roma and Lena, because her ex-husband’s family is large and her children and relatives are much more comfortable than with her, homeless and uneducated.
The granddaughter of actor Strizhenov refuses to give the surrogate child to his parents
The granddaughter of the famous Soviet and Russian actor Oleg Strizhenov, who is carrying a child for a couple from St. Petersburg, does not want to give her future daughter to her parents.
The story of 73-year-old Galina Zhukovskaya and 51-year-old Vyacheslav Zhukovsky-Podgorny is widely known in the country. Life turned out in such a way that Vyacheslav married his former mother-in-law, and last year they decided to have a child together. For this, they chose a surrogate mother - Alexandra Strizhenova, the granddaughter of the great Russian actor Oleg Strizhenov. According to the Zhukovsky family, an agreement was concluded between them, fertilization was successful. But now Alexandra has changed her mind - she does not want to give her future daughter to the family of her biological parents. Read more in the material of the Federal News Agency.
32-year-old Alexandra Strizhenova was raised by her grandmother, Oleg Alexandrovich’s first wife Marianna Strizhenova, also a very famous Soviet actress. It so happened that after the death of her mother and beloved grandmother, the girl was left without a roof over her head. First, she got married and gave birth to two children - a boy and a girl. But family life did not work out - she divorced, the children remained with their grandmother, the mother of her ex-husband.
From her second husband, Alexandra has another son, Ilya, who lives with her. The girl also separated from her second husband; he did not help her with money, so she was forced to earn her own living. Alexandra decided to become a surrogate mother. Strizhenova carried twins, but after their birth the couple abandoned them. As a result, the children ended up in an orphanage. And another person appeared in Alexandra’s life. From him she gave birth to her fourth child.
The Zhukovskys have their own interesting history - Vyacheslav, while still Podgorny (he changed his last name after marriage), was a sailor and officer. But in the 90s he was convicted of murdering a man - according to Vyacheslav, he shot an officer, because of whom the sailors were not paid salaries. While already in the colony, he met Elena Zhukovskaya by correspondence; when he was released, they officially registered their marriage.
But family life did not work out; he divorced Elena. The woman even tried to kick him out into the street, but Vyacheslav’s mother-in-law, Galina Evgenievna, took pity on him, and she became his next wife. Last year, the couple decided to have a child with the help of a surrogate mother. According to Vyacheslav Zhukovsky, they entered into an agreement with Alexandra. But suddenly the girl changed her mind about giving away her daughter.
“Everything would be fine, except for a small “but,” says Vyacheslav Zhukovsky. — She contacted us. And she said—not as an open test, of course, but as a hint—that I’m not going to give the child away.
As I understand it, this is due to the fact that an addition to the family provides financial assistance from the state. But someone misled her. In general, some kind of incomprehensible bargaining.”
According to Vyacheslav, an agreement was concluded with Alexandra, and part of the amount has already been paid. The Zhukovsky family repeatedly tried to bring Strizhenova to negotiations, but the girl refused dialogue.
“The family does not support her, because, in their opinion, she has made a big deal out of this surrogacy,” the interlocutor continues. — There is no open text, but there is a hint that in addition to the contract, it wouldn’t hurt to throw in some money.
The wife is very upset by what happened. We are already focused on having a child. A lot of money has been invested, we are also helping Alexandra. Everything for the child has already been purchased and chosen - cribs, strollers, and so on.”
The Zhukovskys do not yet know who will be born. But Alexandra has already done an ultrasound and knows that she is expecting a girl. We contacted the woman, and she explained why she did not want the child she was carrying to be raised and live in the Zhukovsky family.
“There are reasons why it is better for a child to be raised with me,” says Alexandra Strizhenova. — We had an agreement with them, but there are some nuances regarding their health, that they will orphan the child. It’s better that they hand him over to my care.
I wouldn’t want the child to grow up in an orphanage; I don’t want the situation to repeat itself, because two children have already been orphaned, in the literal sense of the word, when my clients abandoned their twins. I just gave birth to them and left them in an orphanage. The Zhukovskys have problems with their daughter there - they will have no one to give the child to if they can’t handle it themselves.
And I really wanted a daughter, it will be a girl. I don't know whose side the law will be on. They shout - do DNA. Therefore, I try not to particularly communicate with them. I am simply involved in helping children who are in hospitals and orphanages. I am now setting up a fund in memory of my grandmother. I see orphans every day and I can’t allow this to happen to this child.”
How this story of surrogacy will end is still unknown to anyone. Biological parents are not going to give up their child. Strizhenova, who is carrying the Zhukovskys’ daughter, is afraid that they will not have enough strength to educate and raise her. She is also going to fight to the last. FAN contacted an expert in the field of family law to understand which side has a better chance of winning the case.
“It is possible to conclude an agreement on surrogacy only if there are no medical contraindications in the couple,” o Natalya Aksenova.
Everything in our country is regulated by the law on the fundamentals of protecting the health of citizens, which contains a short article devoted to this issue. There is also an order from the Russian Ministry of Health on surrogacy. As a rule, such contracts are concluded with the participation of a medical organization in which the fertilization procedure will be carried out.
In terms of the fact that a surrogate mother may refuse to give up the child, there are problems here. At the birth of the child, medical documents will be issued that confirm that the woman who carried the child is the mother. And accordingly, you need to register the child with other parents at the registry office.
But if the surrogate mother does not agree to this, then only a judicial procedure for resolving the dispute is possible. It is necessary to go to court, provide an agreement, perhaps even a genetic examination.”
“I’m not a surrogate mother”: Strizhenov’s granddaughter admitted to lying
The young woman wrote on Instagram that she is now pregnant from her husband, who left her because of a sick child.
In mid-September, Alexandra Kholoshina, the granddaughter of the famous Oleg Strizhenov, appeared on the air of the “The Stars Aligned” program on the NTV channel. She stated that she was forced to become a surrogate mother again in order to buy herself a living space. Moreover, the future parents are “a fairly famous married couple.”
Less than a month has passed since the young woman announced on her Instagram page that she was pregnant from her husband Arthur, who left her because of a child born sick. And she lied on the program because “he won’t let the baby be born,” so as not to take responsibility for him.
The gestation period is still short - only 12 months. Alexandra must go for screening to find out how healthy the fetus is. Last time, when she was pregnant with Alain, who is now about six months old, doctors said that the child had Down syndrome.
Kholoshina often appears on various talk shows. Perhaps this is how she earns her living. The 31-year-old woman already has four children of her own. Alexandra left two more twins, whom she gave birth to as a surrogate mother, in the maternity hospital.
For Kholoshina, surrogacy is a way to earn money for her own home. For now, she lives in a rented apartment. Although she once had two apartments on Arbat, inherited from her mother and grandmother. But Alexandra, at that time still a 16-year-old teenager, lost them because of “black realtors.”
Alexandra’s older children, Roman and Valeria, remained in the care of her ex-husband’s relatives, and she is raising the younger ones, Ilya and the recently born Alan, together with her common-law spouse. At the same time, Alan is also associated with a small scandal: the public criticized Sasha when it turned out that the baby’s godmother was not just anyone, but Diana Shurygina. The public felt that a girl with such a controversial reputation was clearly not fit to be a godparent.

First poems
At first, Maximilian Aleksandrovich Voloshin, a poet, wrote not many poems. Almost all of them were placed in a book that appeared in 1910 (“Poems. 1900-1910”). V. Bryusov saw in it the hand of a “jeweler”, a “real master”. Voloshin considered his teachers the virtuosos of poetic plasticity J. M. Heredia, Gautier and other “Parnassian” poets from France. Their works were in contrast to Verlaine’s “musical” direction. This characteristic of Voloshin’s work can be attributed to his first collection, as well as to the second, which was compiled by Maximilian in the early 1920s and was not published. It was called "Selva oscura". It included poems created between 1910 and 1914. The main part of them was later included in the book of favorites, published in 1916 (“Iverni”).
Official persecution
In 1923, the persecution of Voloshin by the state began. His name was forgotten. In the USSR, from 1928 to 1961, not a single line of this poet appeared in print. When Ehrenburg respectfully mentioned Voloshin in his memoirs in 1961, this immediately provoked a rebuke from A. Dymshits, who pointed out that Maximilian was a decadent of the most insignificant kind and reacted negatively to the revolution.
Personal life of Oleg Strizhenov
The personal life of Oleg Strizhenov has never gone unnoticed. The young, always well-groomed actor was always the favorite of the female half, and being in his first and second marriages, the womanizer managed to have affairs on the side.
Officially, Oleg Strizhenov was married three times. But the last wife, with her wisdom and love, managed to rein in the man, and now the actor cannot imagine a day without his beloved. Oleg Strizhenov and Lionella Pyryeva have been happily married for several decades, living in harmony and understanding.
Voloshin - literary critic
Maximilian Voloshin made his debut as a literary critic in 1899. His small reviews without a signature appeared in the magazine “Russian Thought”. In May 1900, the same magazine published a large article entitled “In Defense of GaupMax. Voloshin." This article was one of the first manifestos of modernist aesthetics in Russia. After this, his other articles appeared. In total, Voloshin wrote 36 of them - about Russian literature, 35 - about French and Russian theater, 28 - about French literature, as well as 49 articles about events in French cultural life. They approved and proclaimed the artistic principles of modernism. Voloshin introduced new phenomena in the literature of our country (primarily the work of the so-called younger symbolists) into the context of modern European culture.
Voloshin Maximilian Aleksandrovich, whose biography interests us, was also a literary agent, consultant, entrepreneur, advocate and expert for the publishing houses “Grif”, “Scorpion” and the Sabashnikov brothers. He himself called his educational mission Buddhism, magic, Catholicism, theosophy, occultism, and Freemasonry. Maximilian perceived all this in his work through the prism of art. In particular, he valued the “pathos of thought” and the “poetry of ideas,” so his articles were similar to poems, and his poems were like articles (this was noted by I. Ehrenburg, who dedicated an essay to him in the book “Portraits of Modern Poets” published in 1923). .
Wikipedia Oleg Strizhenov
Wikipedia Oleg Strizhenov will tell you the story of an honored artist who throughout his life did not give up on his ideas and achieved what he wanted. The actor’s films convey the character and mood of not only the hero, but also Oleg himself. He practically got used to each of his roles, thereby showing all viewers what real acting is. During his life, he raised two wonderful children, who also followed in their father’s footsteps and revealed their acting talents. Even now, when the actor is well over 80, he continues to “squeeze” all the juice out of his talents, revealing new facets for creativity.
