Ekaterina Fedorovna Savinova is a talented Soviet actress with a short and tragic biography. She was remembered by the viewer in the leading role of Frosya Burlakova in the film “Come Tomorrow”. Unfortunately, this work turned out to be her only significant role in cinema. Life treated Savinova cruelly: her film career was destroyed at the very beginning, and an absurd accident led to a serious mental disorder, which caused death at the age of 43.

Ekaterina was born on December 26, 1926 in the village of Eltsovka, Altai Territory, into a simple peasant family. After graduating from school, she came to Moscow to enter VGIK , but her first attempt was not successful. After some time, the girl managed to get into an additional course directed by Vasily Vanin , from which she was soon expelled “due to lack of acting skills.” But Ekaterina persistently pursued her goal and in 1945, having overcome a huge competition, she was admitted to VGIK in the workshop of directors Boris Bibikov and Olga Pyzhova . Nonna Mordyukova and Vyacheslav Tikhonov studied with her .
After graduating with honors from the course, the young actress entered the “Gnesinka” vocal department, because In addition to her acting talent, she also had a unique voice. Savinova could have had a brilliant singing career - she was invited to both the Bolshoi Theater and the stage, but Ekaterina wanted only one thing: to act in films. She refused.
Childhood and youth
The biography of Andrei Evgenievich began in the Russian capital, where he was born in 1957. The boy was raised by his actress mother (Ekaterina Savinova) and director father (Evgeny Tashkov), who were famous people in the Soviet years. Nature also endowed their son with talent; already in his childhood, the boy looked natural in camera lenses. In his youth, when the awareness of his parents’ fame began to dawn, Andrei was embarrassed by the looks of strangers who involuntarily compared him with his mother and father.

Parents often disappeared on set, sometimes taking their son to rehearsals. But more often he remained under the supervision of the housekeeper Natalya. She took Andrei to clubs - figure skating, swimming and music school; they hired teachers for him in the hope of raising a well-rounded child. But none of the proposed activities brought Tashkov pleasure. Then he was sent to a school with in-depth study of the English language.
The news of his mother's death in 1970 became a great grief for the boy. Tired of illness (brucellosis), the woman threw herself under a train. For some time, father and son lived alone, and soon Evgeniy married for the second time; Andrei was not against it. The man lived a rather long life, dying in 2012 at 85 years old.
“The son of Frosya Burlakova...” Andrei Tashkov: painful memories of his mother and a difficult fate
Today our hero is bright, talented and intelligent, the same as his parents, Andrei Tashkov.
His roles in “Detective”, “Teenager”, in the film of the famous father “Three Women of Dostoevsky” are very difficult to overestimate. It’s a pity that actors of this level are not in demand in our cinema now...
All his interviews are permeated with painful memories, primarily about his mother, whom he very rarely saw in childhood because of her illness...
When asked about meeting his first wife, the famous director Evgeny Tashkov invariably answered - he fell in love with her voice.
Ekaterina Savinova, the same owner of a charming voice, instantly captivated the emotional Evgeniy. And she didn’t let go for twenty long years.
Savinova’s voice was truly unique - three and a half octaves. Having received a honors diploma from VGIK, Gnesinka was waiting for her, from which she also successfully graduated. When the artist was already famous, she was lured to the big theater, offered her own orchestra and work on the stage. But completely devoid of ambition, she refused everyone.
Savinova saw herself only as an actress.
Evgeny Tashkov and Ekaterina Savinova
Their common son, Andrei Tashkov, was four when filming began for the film “Come Tomorrow,” for which the couple wrote the script together.
Throughout the filming, Ekaterina suffered from high fever and severe weakness - a consequence of a brucellosis infection. But this did not stop her from embodying the image of the bright Frosya Burlakova.
Unfortunately, the advanced disease caused complications in the brain. For the rest of her life, the actress was forced to spend several months a year in hospitals. She suffered from intrusive voices.
Andrey Tashkov as a child with famous parents
In Andrey’s memories, his mother forever remained a soft, kind woman with an incredibly beautiful voice. He recalled how, while walking along the streets, she could start singing, which terribly embarrassed the shy child.
Compared to the temperamental and domineering father, the mother stood out favorably, but even this was not enough for Andrei to have clear memories. Confident that her illness was contagious, Savinova tried to spend as little time as possible with her son.
According to Andrei, his father always disappeared on set, his mother was in hospitals. He was raised and raised by a housekeeper, Aunt Natasha, who washed, cooked, and took him to various sections.
The status of the son of talented parents weighed heavily on Andrei. From a young age, the boy was enrolled in music schools, ice skating and swimming, and was encouraged to study foreign languages. None of the activities brought him pleasure, preventing him from achieving any success.
Andrey Tashkov in his youth
In 1970, in the forty-third year of her life, Catherine, unable to withstand the onslaught of the disease, voluntarily passed away.
The life of 13-year-old Andrei was divided into “before” and “after”. Aunt Natasha, having received her own apartment, also moved out from the Tashkovs.
But soon a new woman appeared in the life of the eminent film director - the beautiful “Pani Zosya” from “The Zucchini “13 Chairs” - actress Valentina Sharykina . They lived together for ten years. Andrey always spoke warmly about Valentin.
The artist was a cheerful and kind woman, she enjoyed working with the teenager and supported him in all his endeavors. She was with him from his teenage years until his graduation from Pike, and he is very grateful to her for everything.
Valentina Sharykina
Sharykina herself recalled that when she first came to the Tashkovs’ house, Andrei began to cry. For some reason he decided that she would become his evil stepmother. Valentina was able to calm him down; she hugged him close and talked to him for a long, long time. Since then, she tried to become his friend, and believes that she succeeded.
After the separation of Evgeny and Valentina, on the set of the film “French Lessons,” the director met actress Tatyana Vasilyeva , now known under her husband’s last name.

Despite the fact that the actress was only a year older than his son, the director proposed to her. The first pregnancy was unsuccessful - the girl did not survive. But their son Alexey grew up happily and followed in the footsteps of his parents.
Evgeny Tashkov died six years ago. His beloved Tatyana was with him until his last days. She was his best friend and his last love.
Andrei Tashkov himself survived three unsuccessful marriages.
From his last wife, actress Elena Skorokhodova, the artist has a son, Ivan. As for his latest relationship with the female sex, the actor prefers not to dwell on this topic.

For a long time he was credited with an affair with Elena Koreneva . They even settled next door on the same staircase, exchanging their apartments. The actor admitted that they actually lived together for about six years, but soon their reserve of feelings dried up. They had to separate, but they remained close people.
It is known that the actors were connected by one big project: a play written by Andrei, in which both played the main roles.
This is the fate that was destined for our hero... My heart is already squeezing...

Theater
Constant comparison with his parents did not stop the young man from entering the Moscow Art Theater School. But very quickly he transferred to the Boris Shchukin Theater School. In 1978, with a diploma of higher acting education, he got a job at the Maly Theater. He served there for only a year and managed to play Selina’s great-grandson in the play “Mamure,” based on the play of the same name by Jean Sarman. According to the artist, low-quality productions are created there, it takes a lot of time, and brings almost no income.

After this, the young man moved to the Russian Army Theater and stayed there for 8 years. During this time, the actor appeared on stage more than once in a variety of images. Among his roles are Prince Myshkin in the production of “The Idiot” based on the novel by Fyodor Dostoevsky, Grigory Neznamov in “Guilty Without Guilt” by Alexander Ostrovsky, and work in “Macbeth.” In 1987, Tashkov was transferred to the Moscow Drama Theater named after A. S. Pushkin. The artist appeared on the new stage until 1999. He played Verkhovensky in “The Possessed,” Andrei in “The Black Monk” and Belkin in “Belkin’s Tale.”
Crazy happiness and tragedy of the first marriage
The first time Evgeniy married actress Ekaterina Savinova. They met in their first year at VGIK. Zhenya fell in love with Katya immediately at first sight, as soon as he saw a girl of amazing beauty with a voice incredible in timbre and depth. They met their gazes and a spark ran through them. Then they began to say hello, exchange remarks, and in the second year they started dating.
For the rest of their lives they remembered their romantic dates under the moon - poor, cold and hungry, but incredibly happy young people walked along the Moscow streets, holding hands. Instead of flowers and gifts, they fed each other; after all, they studied in a post-war time of famine, and the scholarship was meager. Sometimes the biggest delicacy for lovers was simple tea. They didn’t meet their parents (Katya’s mom and dad had already died), so they lived together for eight months and decided to get married.
Evgeny Tashkov and Ekaterina Savinova (first wife)
For the first time they allowed themselves to really have fun after graduation. We got a job at the film actor’s theater and bought ice cream with our first paycheck.
In the summer of 1957, the couple had a son, Andrei. He followed in his parents’ footsteps and is now an Honored Artist of the Russian Federation.
In 1962, Katya suffered from an infectious disease - brucellosis. Doctors were not immediately able to make the correct diagnosis; a complication occurred, as a result of which schizophrenia began to develop. Every year, Ekaterina was treated at the Kashchenko psychiatric clinic for 2-4 months, often receiving blood transfusions. But, unfortunately, nothing helped. On April 25, 1970, Evgeniy Tashkov’s wife passed away by throwing herself under a train.
Movies
Although Andrei played his last role in the theater in 1999, the man began acting in films much earlier. In his youth, Tashkov did not miss the opportunity to demonstrate his talent to the general public. The first film in which he starred was the Soviet drama of his father, director Yevgeny Tashkov, “Children of Vanyushin.” It was only a cameo role, like the next one in 1976 in the film “The Life and Death of Ferdinand Luce”.
Andrey Tashkov as Zhenya Kulik (still from the film “Detective”)
Tashkov’s first recognition came from Vladimir Fokin’s film “Detective,” where he played the main character, Zhenya Kulik. The guy appeared in the image of a modest and charming policeman who is looking for recognition and dreams of solving high-profile cases.
The actor had another major role in the war film “Sashka” in 1981, based on the work of the same name by Vyacheslav Kondratiev. He played a young village guy - a recruit who refused to shoot an unarmed prisoner.

The heroes of the films “Curly Sue”, “The Last of the Mohicans”, “Just Cause” and “You Know My Name” speak in the voice of a man. During his life, the artist managed to work in different guises, but in recent years the lists of his works have been replenished less and less.
Professional activity
During his theatrical career, Andrei served in several theaters. From 1978 to 1979 he played on the stage of the Maly Theater, then from 1979 to 1987 at the Theater of Armenia. From 1987 to 1999 he was an actor in the troupe of the Moscow Pushkin Theater. Among the interesting theatrical productions of the artist in different theaters, “Mamure”, “Myshkin”, “Private Ones” and “Macbeth” can be especially highlighted.
The last time the actor played on the theater stage was in 1999, today he devotes his career to filming. Andrei made his film debut as an adult, in 1976 , in the spy film “The Life and Death of Ferdinand Luce” directed by Anatoly Bobrovsky, where he played the role of a hotel bellhop.
The artist became recognizable thanks to the project of director Vladimir Fokin “Detective” (1979), where he played the main role of the modest policeman Zhenya Kulik.

Personal life
Like many famous people, Tashkov’s personal life is filled with novels. The artist himself prefers not to disclose such details in interviews, limiting himself to answering questions about theater and cinema. But fans know that Andrei’s first wife was Natalya Vodogreeva, the marriage lasted a year. The artist’s next relationship with Lyubov Zabolotskaya lasted 7 years. But this union did not bring happiness to the man, and in 1993 they divorced.

Elena Skorokhodova became Andrei's third wife. The actors met at a time when a man needed help. Being depressed, he began to drink, and Elena managed to return him to normal life. She is a famous actress, journalist, director and sports commentator rolled into one. Soon after the wedding, she gave her husband a son. Ivan Tashkov was born in 1996. Over time, the relationship between them began to deteriorate, and the birth of a child did not save the family.
Then Andrei had a long but unofficial relationship with Elena Koreneva. In 2011, they broke up, but still periodically appeared together in public, which gave rise to rumors about the couple's reunion. The artist himself denied speculation on this topic.

Difficulties in the family of Tashkov and Savinova began after the director’s wife became seriously ill. The first signs of the disease began to appear while working on their joint film, and because of this they had to suspend filming for a year.
Later, the actress’s condition worsened even more – oddities in her behavior became noticeable. Then Savinova developed sluggish schizophrenia, it got worse every year, and it all ended tragically - Ekaterina Savinova, broken by the disease, threw herself under a train and died.
Evgeny Tashkov and Tatyana Vasilyeva
The second official wife of Evgeny Tashkov was the young actress Tatyana Vasilyeva, whom he met at the audition for his film “French Lessons”, and although many worthy actresses applied for this role, among whom were already famous and popularly loved, Tashkov approved the aspiring actress.

By that time, Tatyana had experienced an unsuccessful marriage, she was starting a new romance, and her personal acquaintance with Evgeniy Ivanovich did not make any special impression on her. But Tashkov was fascinated by the young actress, and, as he later admitted to her, fell in love with her at first sight.
Tashkov has a huge age difference with his second wife - he is thirty years older than his wife, and therefore, when Tatyana announced that she was marrying a famous director, her parents, who were almost the same age as him, were shocked. And she herself, when she first heard his marriage proposal, did not take it seriously.
But Tashkov was able to build their relationship in such a way that Tatyana gradually developed a mutual feeling for Evgeniy Ivanovich, and a year later they were already living together.
The director’s second wife was only a year older than his son Andrei, so at first there was some tension between them, which disappeared over time. When his father's wife became pregnant, Andrei moved to the hostel.

The Tashkovs dreamed of children, but their first attempt to have a child turned out to be tragic - Tatyana’s newborn daughter died shortly after birth. Fortunately, later they had a son, Alexey, in whom his parents doted on him.

Tatyana lived with Evgeniy Ivanovich until his death, and all this time love and mutual understanding reigned between them. The cause of death of Evgeny Tashkov was a stroke, from which he died in 2012.

Andrey Tashkov now
The man does not maintain pages on social networks, and therefore does not post photos on the Internet with loved ones and friends. But he periodically gives interviews and eagerly shares with the press the details of his work on film sets and theater stages.
Family
Tashkov Andrey Evgenievich was born on July 30, 1957 into an artistic family. My father is an outstanding director. Mother is a talented actress. Viewers today remember Ekaterina Savinova primarily for her touching role as Frosya Burlakova and her tragic fate. The future actor was only thirteen years old when his mother, realizing the incurability of her serious illness, threw herself under a train, like the heroine whose monologue she had read during the entrance exams at a theater university.
Andrey’s father is film director Evgeny Tashkov, known for the films “Major Whirlwind”, “Come Tomorrow”, “His Excellency’s Adjutant”. The director and screenwriter died of a stroke in 2012.
Family and personal life
We can say that the actor had a difficult life in parallel with a successful career. The actor does not like to talk about his personal life, unlike other actors. Andrei Tashkov’s family relationships were not always cloudless. There were many troubles in the actor’s personal life. The marriages he entered into fell apart after a short lifespan, the first one year, the second six years. Most likely, the arrangement of his personal life was hampered by his creative career, or maybe Andrei’s tendency to constantly fall in love.
His ex-wives have only good things to say about him. But the big disadvantage in their life was that Andrei was often late at work or did not return from there for days. Therefore, the tired actor wanted peace of mind, a break from hard work, and when he came home he felt an additional burden. Therefore, his marriages collapsed one by one. He blames himself for this and advises other actors to devote more time to family rather than work.
The actor's third wife
There is quite a bit of information on the Internet about Andrei Tashkov, his personal life, and biography. There are practically no photos with their wives or sons. The third time Andrei married actress Elena Skorokhodova. Their meeting was not accidental, because each had bad family experiences behind them. Tashkov managed to become a father, but the child still could not keep the young couple from getting a divorce. Both actors wanted to get married for the rest of their lives. Elena's parents liked Andrei. But fate decreed otherwise. Returning to his bachelor life, Tashkov often gathered friends around him for parties. They broke up with Elena, but remained friends.
Andrey’s next affair happened with Elena Koreneva, a colleague. They starred together in the film "The Devil's Charm." At first it was a passing infatuation. Andrei was younger than Elena and was married at that time. And Koreneva knew that she had nothing to expect from this relationship. But after some time, Andrei’s personal life began to crack and he became a bachelor. They got along with Elena, although she was very afraid that he would return to the family. Their marriage lasted five years, it was strong love. They appeared together on all filmings. But they had to part because of Andrei’s difficult character. True, they did not separate completely, since they live on the same staircase. There is a common wall between their apartments, which Catherine was considering tearing down. But I didn't have to. Now they are friends and the actor often comes to his former lover for tea.

Career
The film adaptation of Dostoevsky’s novel “The Teenager” became one of the most important for Andrei. Tashkov’s father was in charge of the production, which is why he was invited. The actor played very well, and the film was a resounding success. Many critics at that time often spoke about the actor’s talent. The role of a young policeman in the film “Detective” also came very easily to him. Everything he did in the acting field was something interesting for him. Any role brought stunning success.
Andrey Tashkov: first film roles
The roles of Dostoevsky brought pleasure to Tashkov. Even his father immediately realized that he was more suitable for her than anyone else. Subsequently, Andrei played several more films in the role of this writer. He liked to transform and copy famous personalities. These were the prospects he had always dreamed of.
Currently, the actor’s cinematic activity is far from such roles. Due to his age and other characteristics, he has to spend most of his time in the theater.
Actor Andrei Tashkov in the film “Teenager”
Working with his father in subsequent years helps him find himself in the acting field. Family ties on the set help to understand each other’s shortcomings, since in order to achieve the goal, everyone expresses their emotions and points out mistakes. Tashkov has said more than once that working with his father was the best for him, which he will remember for a long time.
Subsequently, he starred in the film “The Lawyer”; this picture was remembered for the fact that he almost never starred in such modern films. Here he had to work with young people and share his accumulated experience.
Still from the film “Sashka”
But how could the career of such a famous person develop without family and love? Of course, she was, but Tashkov loved loneliness most of all, so marriages were always destroyed. Andrei Tashkov’s personal life has always been far from perfect; today you can’t even find a photo of his family or interesting information from his biography.
The man has been married four times and has no photographs of his past life. It is clear from him that he is talented as an actor, but is not ready for family life.
Currently, it is impossible to find a photo of Andrei Tashkov’s family on the Internet, some interesting information from his personal life and biography. We can say that this is closed information for everyone. Andrey is a loving person by nature, but he is not going to tie strong bonds of marriage with anyone.
Still from the film "Mayhem"
He devoted most of his time to filming. At that time, Russian cinema began to develop very quickly and new prospects opened up for Tashkov. Roles in such films as “Mayhem”, “The Heart is Not a Stone”, “The Lawyer” and others were something new.
In 2010, again a biographical film about Dostoevsky, and here Tashkov performed above all praise. The painting was dedicated to three women who were of great importance to the writer. Andrei was already familiar to the audience for this role, and he himself had re-read the works and biography of Dostoevsky more than once.
Andrey Tashkov in the TV series “Swan Lake”
Many people saw this particular writer in Tashkov. He fit into the role so organically that film critics could not write anything bad about him. In general, the actor's career was stunning.
Today, the actor is actively involved in dubbing films, which has recently become an interesting activity for him. This new direction of his talent was received very well by fans. It's nice to hear the voice of your beloved Andrei Tashkov in a cartoon or foreign film. Of course, a lot of time is spent on the theater, filming, and sound recording, but the actor tries to do everything efficiently and quickly.
