Getting started in cinema
Lionella in her youth was a beautiful brunette with a wasp waist and large breasts. For her resemblance to the famous Italian actress, she was even nicknamed the Soviet Lollobrigida. It is not surprising that film directors immediately took notice of her. She played her first role while still a student at GITIS, although this was not welcomed at the theater institute. Skirda made her debut immediately in the leading role in the comedy “Free Wind” by Leonid Trauberg .

Despite the impressive start, Skirda did not appear in films very often.
Lionella's marriage to Ivan Pyryev
To some extent, this unequal marriage then became a salvation for both, but was actively discussed and condemned by society. Now they have again begun to pour dirt on Pyryev because of his affairs with young actresses, for whom, according to rumors, he ruined their lives and careers. However, it was Lionella who became his last wife. Of course, he filmed her in his films. And, of course, she has a completely different opinion about her husband’s relationship with these actresses.
Pyryev died in 1968.

Lionella Pyryeva and Vladimir Vysotsky
Lionella met Vysotsky back in the 50s, but then he did not make much of an impression on her. They crossed paths several times on film sets. For example, in the film “Dangerous Tours”. But Boris Kudryavov writes about their romance in Siberia on the set of the film “Master of the Taiga” in his book “The Passion of Vysotsky.”
Allegedly, they then showed each other unambiguous signs of attention. By the way, Vysotsky came to their Moscow apartment, where Lionella lived with Ivan Pyryev, during the director’s lifetime. I stopped by after that, sometimes with friends. I was often not sober. Lionella said in an interview that Vysotsky wrote the song “Oh, Where Was I Yesterday” about her. There are these words:
Young widow, faithful to her husband
(After all, we live together), she took pity on me
Of course, Vysotsky’s fans questioned this statement, because he wrote this song in 1967, even before Pyryev’s death. However, if you listen to the text, everything looks very similar to the truth.
The actors stopped communicating after one incident. Lionella forbade Vysotsky to come to her house drunk and threatened to send him to the hospital for treatment. Soon she carried out the threat. They let him out, but he never came to her house again. Who knows, but then she could prolong his life with her act.

And again Pyryeva and Strizhenov...
Fate brought Lionella and Oleg Strizhenov together again in 1975 on the set of the film “The Last Victim”. Then both were already free. They maintained friendly relations on the set, but the old feelings returned and Oleg proposed to her right in the presence of the film crew. So she became Strizhenova.
The actors have been married for more than 40 years. There were no children in it.

Lionella Skirda: personal life
While still a young girl, she first met Oleg Strizhenov , who came to Odessa for filming. The affair between him happened when Lionella was studying in Moscow. But then their relationship did not continue: Oleg was married and raised a little daughter. During that period, Skirda met the great and powerful director Pyryev . True, at that time he was no longer so powerful: he was removed from his post as head of the Union of Cinematographers , and he was no longer of Mosfilm But all the same, in those years Pyryev still retained enormous authority in Soviet cinema.
The already middle-aged director began a period typical of some men, which is called “Grey hair in the beard, devil in the rib.” Ivan Aleksandrovich was interested in young actresses. Because of his affair with Lyudmila, Marchenko separated from his wife Marina Ladynina . But he failed to keep Marchenko; she exchanged him for the same Oleg Strizhenov.
And so in 1962, Pyryev began to live in a de facto marriage with Lionella Skirda; by that time he had not yet divorced Ladynina. Lionella was not embarrassed by the 37-year age difference. They formalized the relationship several months before the death of Ivan Alexandrovich, and Skirda, contrary to artistic traditions, took her husband’s surname.
Of course, she, like the director’s previous passions, gets leading roles in Pyryev’s films. She was not destined to become the second Ladynina, but still Lionella played her star role. Pyryev directed her in the film adaptation of “The Brothers Karamazov” in the role of Grushenka, which was definitely a success for the young actress. But the great director was not destined to finish the film - in 1968 he died. The third part of the film was completed by Mikhail Ulyanov and Kirill Lavrov .

After being widowed, Lionella then married again. Little is known about this marriage of the actress. What is known is that in 1975, when Lionella met her old love Oleg Strizhenov again, she was still married. But this time they did not tempt fate. Since then, they have been together for more than 40 years. The actress changed her last name again, becoming Lionella Strizhenova.
The actress did not have children in any marriage.
Soviet Lollobrigida. How Lionella Pyryeva walked to happiness with Strizhenov
Actress Lionella Skirda, whom viewers mostly know under the names Pyryeva and Strizhenova, was born on March 15, 1938 in Odessa. As a teenager, she saw the famous Soviet actor Oleg Strizhenov in the film “The Gadfly.” And I immediately fell in love. Fate brought her together with the artist many times.
“Providence sent us a chance meeting in my hometown - Odessa. — Lionella Ivanovna said in an interview with AiF. “That day I was going to the clinic and suddenly I saw a crowd. There are spotlights all around, they were filming the movie “The Mexican.” I came closer. Strizhenov stood in the very center of the set. The director's assistants began to push the audience aside, and I was also asked to move away. Strizhenov turned, looked at me and said: “Don’t drive her away.”
The girl clearly stood out with her bright beauty among all the others. A gorgeous head of hair, a wasp waist, a luxurious bust. “Are you by any chance Gina Lollobrigida?” - asked the actor. He was not the first to notice the resemblance to the star: her classmates at the theater institute jokingly called her Lina Lolloskirdina.
“My name is Lionella,” the girl answered Strizhenov. “Can I call you Lee?”
“But it was a fleeting episode,” says the actress. “We met again only years later.”
When Skirda was filming her film debut “Free Wind” in Yalta, circumstances again brought her together with Strizhenov.

“Strizhenov was with one of his friends and stopped by the set. He saw me and remembered our chance meeting on the set of “The Mexican”. But something prevented us from communicating then,” the actress recalled.
Only after meeting for the third time, the young people began not just a romantic relationship, but a romance full of passion. But the young artist decided that this novel “by all the laws of the genre should have led to a dead end.” “I was an aspiring actress, and Oleg had a successful career and... a family in which his five-year-old daughter grew up. It seemed impossible to me to break up his marriage. And God sent me salvation: another person appeared in my life,” she said.
He turned out to be the famous director, artistic director of the film “Free Wind” Ivan Pyryev, the thunderstorm of Mosfilm. And only Skirda did not consider him formidable.
“I saw a completely unhappy person,” the artist told AiF. “He was in a very difficult psychological state at the time. His affair with actress Lyudmila Marchenko greatly traumatized him. And it fell to me to bring him out of depression.”
However, this relationship became a salvation and a way out of depression for Skirda: she was wildly tired of the uncertainty of an affair with the married Strizhenov.
Lionella Pyryeva: “For as long as I can remember, I dreamed of becoming an artist!” More details
Almost immediately after the start of the relationship, Pyryev gave Skirda a box with his own photograph inside, on which was the signature: “To her, who is everything and everyone to me.” But that time the girl did not answer his marriage proposal. A month later, Skirda came down with a serious sore throat. Pyryev nursed Lionella. And then she answered him with consent. The girl was not embarrassed by the forty-year age difference; she boldly entrusted her fate to Pyryev.
Pyryev, who actively filmed his previous wife Marina Ladynina , worked in cinema with his young wife. Perhaps their most striking joint work can be called the feature film “The Brothers Karamazov,” where Lionella played the role of Grushenka.
“There were probably those who condemned our marriage,” Lionella Ivanovna said in an interview with AiF. “But I am proud that I was the first in the Soviet Union to ignore public opinion and act as my heart told me.” As for mercantile interests, I could not have them: Pyryev, despite all his fame, accumulated nothing. When he died, there were only 18 rubles left in his savings book.”
They lived together for 6 years, until the director’s death, and Pyryev spoke about these years in an interview as the happiest.

Ekaterina and Alexander Strizhenov: “We have been together for 30 years!”
When Pyryev died, Lionella began actively acting in films. The year was 1976. Fate brought her together again on the set of the film “The Last Victim” with Oleg Strizhenov. It must be said that during the years of marriage with Pyryev, the artist accidentally met Oleg Alexandrovich several times. But it didn’t go beyond ordinary conversations: firstly, she was faithful to Pyryev, who gave her a ticket to a big movie. Secondly, Strizhenov was still married. But by the time “The Last Victim” was filmed, the actor had already separated from his second wife, Moscow Art Theater actress Lyubov Strizhenova-Zemlyanikina , who bore him a son Alexander , now a famous actor and director. The marriage was full of resentment and betrayal. A few years after the divorce, Lyubov Vasilievna entered a monastery.
“On set we treated each other like old friends. — Lionella Ivanovna spoke about the meeting on the set. “And suddenly, as it seemed to me, completely out of the blue, Oleg proposed. Alla Larionova was present. He first asked her: “Alla, tell her to marry me!” And then I stopped doubting. I realized that we were destined to be together. Life has confirmed this."
Today, this legendary family is already 42 years old. They have no children together. “During this time, whoever asked me: “How did you live together for so long?” He has such a character!” the artist told AiF. “And I answer: “What kind of character is this?” For all these years, I have not felt a difficult character at all. Oleg Alexandrovich and I are similar in many ways. Sometimes it gets to the point where I think about something, and he already says it out loud. We even stay in the hospital together: the doctors are already used to it.”
Lionella's current life
Since the mid-80s she has not appeared on screen; she says that after the role of Grushenka, all other film work is of no interest to her.

He gives interviews quite often. She does not always speak unfavorably about all the women who came before her in Pyryev’s life. He speaks poorly of Mikhail Ulyanov and Kirill Lavrov, who completed The Brothers Karamazov. But we must be critical of these statements of hers, sometimes they look quite tendentious. Moreover, all the people she accused have long since died and cannot object to anything.

In their family life, the Strizhenovs are happy. They live poorly; almost all the furnishings in the apartment are from Soviet times. Having no children of her own, Lionella warmly communicated with Oleg’s son from his second marriage Alexander , now a famous TV presenter. But the relationship with Strizhenov’s eldest daughter, Natalya did not work out. Natalya Strizhenova passed away in 2003 at the age of 45.

Lionella Skirda's path to fame and affair with the married Strizhenov
Lionella's parents saw her as a doctor, and since childhood she studied in a drama club and secretly watched performances at the Odessa Theater, which was located in the same house where her family lived. Only her grandmother understood her desire to become an actress. It was with her support, without saying a word to her parents, that the young rebel went to Moscow to enter theater school.
Her first film was “Captain of the Old Turtle” (1956), where she played with Natalya Fateeva, whom she still considers her friend to this day. It was Pyryeva who introduced Natalya to her third husband, cosmonaut Boris Egorov.
For the first time, Lionella was entrusted with the main role immediately after graduation in the film “Free Wind”.

At that time, she began an affair with Oleg Strizhenov, who was passing through Yalta, where the film was being filmed. True, Strizhenov was already married by that time, and a daughter was growing up in the family.
This relationship was painful for Lionella; she could neither take Oleg away from the family nor leave everything as it was. Lionella's romance with director Ivan Pyryev, who was 37 years older than her, then put everything in its place.
Personal life
The personal life of Lionella Ivanovna is worthy of a separate book. As a 17-year-old girl, the actress fell in love with the main character of the film “The Gadfly,” played by Oleg Strizhenov. And one day I met my idol in my hometown - I was walking past the set of the film “The Mexican.” A young man from the entire crowd of onlookers caught Lina’s piercing gaze and met her.
Lionella Pyryeva and Ivan Pyryev
Fate brought her together with her lover again, already when Lionella was filming her second film, “Free Wind.” Strizhenov was passing through Yalta, where the filming took place. Friends told me that a lovely student was involved in the film, and the intrigued man went to watch it. After the premiere of the film, a romance broke out between Oleg and Lionella, but the relationship was doomed - Strizhenov had a stamp in his passport and his little daughter was growing up.
The first husband was the famous Soviet director Ivan Pyryev. The man was 37 years older than the chosen one, but the huge age difference did not bother the 24-year-old actress. The brilliant director looked after her beautifully and devotedly. The couple lived together for six years; family life was cut short by the death of Ivan Alexandrovich.
Lionella Pyryeva and Oleg Strizhenov
The acting paths of Pyryeva and Strizhenov crossed again on the set of the melodrama “The Last Victim”. Oleg Alexandrovich was already divorced. During the dubbing of the film, without being embarrassed by his colleagues, he proposed his hand in marriage to Lionella. The actress recalled that she was confused, then the man asked Alla Larionova, who was standing nearby, to persuade Lina to accept the offer. The couple got married in November 1976.
Oleg and Lionella Strizhenov: love from the first frame
The most beautiful artist of the Soviet screen, Oleg Strizhenov, turned 90 this year. His creative destiny is happy, but, unfortunately, Oleg Alexandrovich has not acted in films for many years. The last time he played the main role was in the film “Instead of Me” by Vladimir and Olga Basov in 2000.
He didn’t want to waste his money and sincerely didn’t understand how it was possible to become a star after playing a passable role in a passable series. Now Oleg Alexandrovich devotes his time to drawing (he has a professional art education) and books.
"I'll call you Lee!"
In March 1955, the film “The Gadfly” (an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Ethel Lilian Voynich) was released. Starring the young actor Oleg Strizhenov. The film was one of the top three box office leaders and attracted more than 39 million viewers. Some watched the picture twenty times in a row.
Lionella first saw Strizhenov in “The Gadfly”
Lionella Skirda was barely seventeen at that time; she was studying at school. Having watched “The Gadfly” for the first time, I couldn’t take my eyes off Strizhenov and then ran to the cinema almost every evening. The same thought was spinning in her head: “I will definitely become an actress, I will definitely meet Strizhenov.” Lina studied in the drama club at the House of Scientists in Odessa. In the summer of 1955, she was walking from class and saw a crowd in the alley. The onlookers crowded into a tight ring around the rope barrier. Lina made her way forward between the backs and was stunned. In the middle of the platform, illuminated by the setting sun, with a bare tanned torso and tar-colored bangs on his forehead, stood... Strizhenov. The film "The Mexican" was filmed. Lina wanted to step over the barrier, but the assistant director shouted at her, and Strizhenov, turning towards the noise, said: “Why don’t you let such a girl in?” And taking Lina by the hand, he led her onto the set.
“Are you by any chance Gina Lollobrigida?” (Lina inherited black eyes and lush dark brown hair from her Bulgarian grandmother.)
“My name is Lionella,” she answered quietly.
- What a beautiful name! – Strizhenov admired. - And I will call you Lee.
Young Lionella Skirda
And then the dead man dragged the actor into the frame. After filming, Strizhenov immediately returned to the place where Lina was supposed to be. The spectators had not all left yet. But the wonderful girl was nowhere to be found. The next day the film expedition departed for Yalta.
Crowds of fans followed Lina
Lionella entered GITIS a year after graduating from school. While still a student she began acting in films. The first film was Dunaevsky’s operetta “Free Wind,” where she played Stella, and the musical part was voiced by Galina Vishnevskaya. Filming took place in Yalta in 1960. Yalta, the pearl of Crimea, was teeming with celebrities at that time. Film expeditions from various film studios worked there, and artists and film directors rested in the WTO “Akter” sanatorium. Crowds of fans followed Lina, venerable filmmakers, sighing about her beauty, sent baskets of flowers to her hotel room.
Oleg Strizhenov had just reached another height: he played Herman in the opera film “The Queen of Spades”, and a new filming was already ahead - the role of Laevsky in the film adaptation of Chekhov’s story “The Duel”. Oleg came to Yalta to rest for two weeks.
Lionella, although she had lived in Moscow for three years, had never met Strizhenov. But she did not forget about him and dreamed that fate would bring them together on the set. Strizhenov, while vacationing in Yalta, often heard from colleagues that Trauberg was starring an extraordinary girl in “Free Wind.”
– Such a figure, such a bust, such a waist! - the experts admired.
And one day on the embankment the actor met with the second director of the film, Natasha Ptushko.
“Come to our port tomorrow for filming,” she told Oleg. – We have such a wonderful heroine, and, by the way, she is in love with you.
The shooting was in full swing when Strizhenov appeared at the port. The music blared, the hero and heroine on the crane platform high above the ground sang. Lina saw Strizhenov immediately. He stood with Natasha and said something to her. There was so much masculine charm in his appraising, slightly under-browed gaze, and in his demeanor, like a lion before the leap! His gait alone killed Lina on the spot.
And suddenly he disappeared, as if he had evaporated. And two hours later Oleg was sailing on the Georgian ship to Sochi.
They hugged and kissed in front of everyone
The year 1962 arrived. Oleg returned from Kyiv from filming the film “In the Dead Loop” to Moscow and in the first days of January dropped into the VTO restaurant. He sat at a table with the actor Vladimir Soshalsky and, looking around the room with an absent-minded look in search of other acquaintances, was stunned. At the end of the hall, surrounded by friends, sat Lionella. Oleg rose from the table. Lina turned around at the same moment, her eyes widened in surprise, she also stood up and walked towards him. In the center of the hall they hugged and kissed in front of everyone.
They did not part for four whole months. But their romance was constantly interrupted by separations. Summer has come. Oleg left for Kyiv again. And Lina is on tour with the Stanislavsky Drama Theater to Kuibyshev. Saying goodbye, Oleg said: “We’ll come back and put everything in its place.” “Yes, yes,” agreed Lina, looking into his eyes, and thought to herself: “You and I will never see each other again.” It seemed to her that their relationship was easy for him. Lina knew that Oleg had a wife and daughter Natasha, and her grandmother told Lina that you can’t build happiness on someone else’s misfortune.
Oleg met his first wife, Marianna, on the set of the film “The Gadfly.”
Letter from Paris
The famous film director Ivan Aleksandrovich Pyryev moved into the house on Smolenskaya where Lina lived. One morning, when Lina left the house, a familiar actress called to her from the seventh floor balcony: “Come up to us!” Lina, of course, knew Pyryev, but then she had the opportunity to meet him personally. She was struck by the fact that Ivan Aleksandrovich looked bad and there was some kind of loss in his whole appearance. Pyryev felt an involuntary sympathy for himself in Lina and at that moment when everyone stopped paying attention to them, he suddenly began to cry for her life. Lina was so amazed that she even forgot about the tea and sat there with a full cup in her hands. Pyryev was experiencing drama at that moment. He was abandoned by his beloved, actress Lyudmila Marchenko. Lina was very touched by the frankness of this middle-aged man, old enough to be her father. And she didn’t notice how she told him about her unhappy love.
- My poor thing! – Pyryev clasped his hands like a woman when he heard the name of Oleg Strizhenov.
He drove Lina to the theater in his car and finally said: “It will be lousy at heart - call.” Lina’s soul felt lousy as soon as she left on tour to Kuibyshev. And she called Pyryev.
– Do you want to go to Moscow? - he asked.
At that moment it seemed to Lina that Oleg was in Moscow and Pyryev knew about it.
- I'll send you a call.
Pyryev himself met her at the station with flowers. A laid table awaited them at home. For three days Lina stayed chastely with Ivan Alexandrovich. And she had no way to find Oleg. Pyryev took her every evening to the WTO, then to visit, or his friends gathered. Saying goodbye, Pyryev gave Lina a Palekh box. She opened it - and there was a photograph of Ivan Alexandrovich with a dog and on the back the inscription: “The one who is everything to me!” Lina flushed and, fluttering her long eyelashes, glanced at the director:
– I can’t tell you either yes or no. Let me go!
Lina caught up with her theater in Gorky, and there she was struck down by a sore throat. Pyryev found her by phone and promised to “get” lemons in the Kremlin and send them by train. But in the evening he stood on the threshold with flowers and bags containing everything, including lemons.
The fact that 61-year-old Pyryev married a little-known 24-year-old actress became a sensation. Moscow around the cinema has been buzzing about this for a long time.
The news that Lina married Pyryev killed Strizhenov. He was then in Paris, celebrating Christmas. Oleg could not find a place for himself and sat down to write a letter to Lina: “My beloved, my dear Li! You are not around, and the world has collapsed..."
Meeting in Odessa 20 years later
Pyryev filmed Dostoevsky's novel The Brothers Karamazov. Lionella Pyryeva played Grushenka and became famous. During all six years of marriage, Pyryev was never jealous of Lina for Strizhenov. Lina also did not ask her husband if he remembered his old love. Even when Pyryev’s film “White Nights” was shown on TV, where Strizhenov and Marchenko played, they did not raise this topic. But one day Ivan Alexandrovich said: “I may die soon. You are young. I would like you to marry Strizhenov.” He knew everything about himself, about his sick heart. He died at dawn in his sleep...
Lionella with her first husband Ivan Pyryev on the set of The Brothers Karamazov
In 1975, Pyotr Todorovsky filmed the film “The Last Victim”. So Lina’s dream came true - fate brought her together on the set with Strizhenov. Lina was unusually good in the role of Countess Krugla. And Oleg realized that he still loved her. In the summer he came to Odessa with the Moscow Art Theater and immediately remembered how twenty years ago, in the same beautiful summer, he first saw the wonderful girl Lee. And suddenly it turns out that Lina is also in Odessa and is performing at the Summer Theater of the Shevchenko Park. He hurried there. Lina greeted him warmly. He invited her to a restaurant.
– I will come, but not alone, but with Alla Larionova.
When the actresses in evening dresses entered the restaurant of the Londonskaya Hotel, the audience sitting there applauded, and some men stood up. The orchestra began playing the slow foxtrot “Little Flower.”
– Do you remember our “Little Flower”? – Oleg asked Lina.
Of course she remembered. Lina already knew that Oleg was free. His second marriage also broke up. Soon Strizhenov was called to Moscow to dub the film “The Last Victim”. Lina was there too. Afraid of losing her again, Oleg fell to his knees in front of everyone and made an official proposal... And for almost half a century he and Lionella have been living together in a happy marriage.

First film roles
Lionella Skirda was born on March 15, 1938 in Moscow. In 1961 she graduated from the State Institute of Theater Arts. A.V. Lunacharsky, and was accepted into the troupe of the Drama Theater. K. S. Stanislavsky. Here she worked until 1964, after which she moved to the Film Actor Studio Theater.
Lionella Skirda made her film debut in 1961 with a small role in the musical film “Free Wind” directed by Leonid Trauberg and Andrei Tutyshkin. Then there were works in the adventure film “Shot in the Fog” and the musical film monograph “Dunaevsky’s Melodies”. Finally, in 1964, the actress played the main role in the film “The Light of a Distant Star” by the famous director Ivan Pyryev.
Ivan Pyryev
Ivan Aleksandrovich Pyryev was 37 years older than Lionella. In addition, the gray-haired director was in love with the young, charming actress Lyudmila Marchenko. For her sake, he even divorced his second wife Marina Ladynina. However, Marchenko did not reciprocate Pyryev’s feelings, which Lionella later took advantage of.
In 1967, she married Pyryev and took his last name. In the same year, Pyryev began film adaptation of the novel by F.M. Dostoevsky "The Brothers Karamazov". He entrusted the main female role to his new wife. However, Pyryev did not have time to finish his painting. In February 1968 he died. The film's filming was completed by the leading actors Kirill Lavrov and Mikhail Ulyanov.
Further fate
Soon after the death of her husband, Lionella Pyryeva married the popular actor Oleg Strizhenov, whom, by her own admission, she had loved since her youth. It’s an amazing coincidence - at one time she was Pyryev’s third wife, but now she has become Strizhenov’s third wife (before that he was married to actresses Marianna Strizhenova and Lyubov Zemlyanikina).
In 1969, Lionella Pyryeva starred in the adventure film “Dangerous Tours” (Sofia) and the detective story “Master of the Taiga”, and then disappeared from movie screens for many years.
In the next two decades, she played only a few roles, including: Countess Kruglaya in the drama “The Last Victim” based on the play of the same name by A. Ostrovsky (1976), the main roles in the musical comedy “Free Wind” (1983), the film story “Mr. Veliky Novgorod” (1984), historical adventure film “Not Subject to Disclosure.”

Russian Gina Lollobrigida
The bright appearance of Lionella Pyryeva has always attracted the attention of others. During the course, she never stopped seeing fans. Among the girls she was known as Gina Lollobrigida. One day Strizhenov himself mentioned this similarity. And later he called her briefly - Lee. That fleeting episode from the filming of The Mexican was remembered for a long time, but it was not the last.

After graduating from the institute, Lionella went to film in Yalta in her first film, “Free Wind.” By pure chance, Oleg Strizhenov was also there. He was in Yalta with one of his friends and looked into the film set. Of all the actresses who starred in “Free Wind,” Strizhenov singled out Lionella and remembered how he met her on the set of “The Mexican.” However, some circumstances prevented them from communicating that time.
Saving "straw"
The film “Free Wind” was shot by the famous director Ivan Pyryev, who was considered the thunderstorm of Mosfilm. However, Lionella thought completely differently. According to her, what appeared before her was a man completely lost in life, plunged into a depressive state. At that time, Pyryev ended his painful relationship with Lyudmila Marchenko, after which he was psychologically traumatized. It was Lionella who had to bring him out of his desperate state.

This relationship became a lifesaver for the actress - by that time she was pretty tired of exhausting meetings and uncertainty with the married Strizhenov. Almost immediately after meeting, Pyryev hurried to propose to his beloved, presented a box with a photograph and the signature - “To her, who is everything and everyone to me.” However, the director did not receive a positive response then.
