Personal life of Ekaterina Guseva
In contrast to her rich creative biography, Ekaterina Guseva’s personal life is not so diverse - children, an only husband and no office romances or secret connections.
Guseva's husband - Vladimir Abashkin
Katya met her husband Vladimir Evgenievich Abashkin on television. On the “Russian Lotto” program, she was an assistant to the presenter, and Volodya assembled the scenery for this studio. It was true love at first sight, they saw each other and both realized that they were lost. Although Volodya was married at that time.

Soon Ekaterina left for her debut filming of the film “Snake Spring” in an abandoned pioneer camp near Moscow. Vladimir constantly came to Katya after work, waited for the shooting day to end, and watched the process. Even then, he understood that the woman he loved would not completely belong only to him; he would have to share her with the acting world.

On August 1, 1996, Guseva and Abashkin got married. Despite the fact that Volodya is ten years older than Katya and was married, her parents approved of their daughter’s choice.

On her Instagram page, the actress shares moments from her creative biography with subscribers; Ekaterina Guseva rarely posts personal photos. She admits that she is an opponent of social networks.
Ekaterina Guseva and Vitaly Bezrukov became husband and wife
Only people who were involved in the creation of the first feature film about the outstanding surgeon and priest St. Luke, in the world - Valentin Voino-Yasenetsky, were invited to the private screening of the Ukrainian-Belarusian film as part of the international project “Days of St. Luke”.

One of the first to appear on the site was Russian actor, director and screenwriter Vitaly Bezrukov. He played the main character in the second half of his life.
— For the sake of the role, I lost 22 kilograms! — the actor told the fans who surrounded him. — And when they filmed the torture scene, two of my ribs were broken. My luck, it was the last day of filming. Then I could neither breathe nor sleep!
-Are you a superstitious person? - we are interested. “Some would take such an injury as a sign from above.
- Not superstitious, but a believer! There are signs that make me laugh. For example, they say you can’t crack seeds on a film set, but I answer, if you’re mediocrity, whether you bite seeds or not, you won’t have an audience!
Ekaterina Guseva came to the show accompanied by Oleg Sytnik. Photo: Pavel MARTINCHIK
The female lead, Ekaterina Guseva, appeared accompanied by Oleg Sytnik, the general producer of the film. In a gray closed dress, with her hair pulled back, she seems to have not yet left the image of the wife of the doctor and clergyman Voino-Yasenetsky.
— Everything worked out well. I’ve been practically living in Minsk for four months now, filming Alexander Franskevich-Laie’s film “Because of Love,” Guseva meekly told Komsomolskaya Pravda. “I’m on my lunch break now and I couldn’t miss this event – it means a lot to me.”
— Do you distinguish this film from your other works?
- Without a doubt. We played real historical characters, and, frankly, it was disturbing. My heroine is Anna Lanskaya, a woman with a very difficult fate. I looked through many photographs of Anna, read the diaries of her children, and studied books about Voino-Yasenetsky. It says very little about his personal life; I had to piece together the image bit by bit.
The last to appear on the threshold was People's Artist of Belarus Vladimir Gostyukhin - in the film we will see him in the role of Grandfather St. Luke. The only thing they didn’t wait for was Andrei Saminin, the performer of the central character, Voino-Yasenetsky in his youth. The Ukrainian actor asked him to apologize in advance for his absence.

After the show, only Vitaly Bezrukov remained in sight. The artist had to fight alone for all his colleagues - he signed autographs for almost an hour.
“No matter how many times I come to Minsk, it’s always the same,” the actor said proudly. - Although, all this worship and respect shown to me is a fraction compared to what my son experiences!
— How did your family evaluate your work on the film?
— If you are talking about criticism, my wife is an intelligent woman and has never allowed herself such things. After she gave birth to a brilliant actor, she got used to the fact that our two-room apartment was littered with flowers. Seryozha always calls me after performances: “Dad, come over!” The son gives the bouquets to his mother.
-Are you criticizing your son?
“I am the only person whose criticism Seryozha listens to.” Sometimes it is impartial and brings tears. Once in my play “The Emelyan Passion” he played a sexton. I tell him: “Son, your hero is poor, but not a fool!” Sometimes, to suit the public's needs, Sergei likes to amuse the audience. But when it’s not appropriate, I make comments and he apologizes.
Belarusian viewers will be able to see the film “Luka” from October 6 to October 26 in Minsk cinemas.
