Stars from A to Z
Today, Maria Lemesheva, whose real name is Galina, is one of the most mysterious figures of the domestic elite, because the only topics she discusses with representatives of the press are work on television, in magazines and some social events.
However, the famous TV presenter failed to hide her romance and today it is almost no secret that Maria Lemesheva and Nikita Mikhalkov have more than just friendly relations, despite the fact that the master of Soviet and Russian cinema continues to play family with his second official wife Tatyana Mikhalkova, vigorously promoting moral values. And despite the fact that Maria Lemesheva is a TV presenter, whose personal life they try not to discuss even in secular circles, familiar to both Maria herself and her eminent lover, today some juicy facts about this novel have become known. And first of all, it should be noted that in addition to the relationship with Mikhalkov, Maria had at least one more serious romance in her life.
But, first of all, it is advisable to introduce the reader to some facts from the biography of Maria Lemesheva. The personal life of the future television star began at the most prestigious university in Russia - Moscow State University, where Maria studied at the Faculty of Philology. However, Maria was destined to get married much later, because after graduating from Moscow State University she went to study art history in Zurich, Switzerland. It should be noted that such a turn in the fate of the future TV personality and socialite was by no means accidental, because from childhood she showed herself to be a very gifted creative person. Playing the violin and painting - these two activities were the most favorite for little Galya, however, in the end she decided to choose the second, hence the University of Zurich.
However, her dream was never destined to come true, since in 1997 Lemesheva received a rather attractive offer to work on television. Thus, at the age of 27, the future TV star became the host of the “Television News Service,” which radically changed her worldview. Later, Maria (the presenter took this name in 2003, since she never liked the name Galina and today she even asks her parents to call her that) admitted that she had to seriously risk herself for the sake of reporting. Departures to fires and murders, filming knee-deep in cold water - today it is difficult to believe that the glamorous socialite, who never ceases to amaze the public with her luxurious toilets on the red carpet, once had to work in such extreme conditions.
Surprisingly, Maria Lemesheva also managed to keep the name of her official husband, with whom the TV personality lived until the fatal meeting with Nikita Sergeevich, a secret. In addition, according to the former neighbors of the presenter, she was expecting a child from this man, but the pregnancy never reached its logical conclusion, although it is possible that talk about it is speculation.
In 2000, while reporting from the Moscow International Film Festival, Maria had the opportunity to interview Nikita Mikhalkov and they say that it was then that he became interested in the charming brunette, who was always famous for her loose tongue. And very soon the famous director moved out of the family residence, located in an elite village on Nikolina Gora, into an apartment on Tsvetnoy Boulevard. But despite the fact that Mikhalkov continued to maintain the appearance of a happy family, everyone understood that his move was directly related to the fact that he had a secret mistress. And a little later, Nikita Sergeevich began to appear at many social events with Maria Lemesheva, after which no one had any doubt that the famous maestro had a second family.
It is noteworthy that the life of the TV presenter has changed dramatically, and for the better. So, already at the beginning of her romance with Mikhalkov, she managed to acquire luxury real estate in the center of Belokamennaya (it is known that Lemesheva’s apartment is located in Bolshoi Karetny Lane), an expensive car, despite the fact that her career went uphill by leaps and bounds. Filming original documentary and journalistic films about the most famous actors in the country, moving to Channel One (for about six years Maria hosted a program without political overtones, “Other News”), interviews with world-famous stars, membership in the jury of the show “Property of the Republic” - Lemesheva at one point it became a lot.
In addition, the successful TV presenter began to actively appear at various social events and write columns for the most popular glossy publications in the country (to this day, Maria Lemesheva is a columnist for Hello magazine, partially sharing with readers the secrets of her stunning success). In addition, she can be seen at every opening ceremony of the Moscow Film Festival, on the red carpet of which Maria Lemesheva always appears in stunning outfits. And in 2012, another significant event happened in the life of the TV presenter - the birth of her daughter, to whom Maria gave the beautiful old Russian name Martha. It is noteworthy that for Maria Lemesheva, children were never an obstacle to her career, so she went to work almost immediately after giving birth.
For a long time, Maria hid the birth of her daughter, and only over time she began to post photographs of her on her Instagram page, trying to publish only those pictures in which the child’s face was not visible (the practice of the vast majority of celebrities in recent years).
As for the issues of paternity, which the famous TV presenter continues to stubbornly ignore, almost no one has any doubt that little Marfa is the illegitimate daughter of Nikita Sergeevich Mikhalkov, although he himself prefers not to comment on these rumors.

Until 2007, she told television viewers about the achievements of Russian culture, covered film festivals, and talked with domestic and foreign stars. She also made documentaries about the lives of famous actors and directors and conducted creative training for MITRO students.
Then the TV presenter was offered to become the face of the “Other News” program, covering the most interesting events in the country, except political ones.

Family of Nikita Mikhalkov, father of four children
Nikita Mikhalkov's first wife was his classmate, Anastasia Vertinskaya. At the age of 21, the young man sealed the union with his signature at the registry office. In the same year, the young family was replenished; a son, Stepan, was born. He followed in his father's footsteps, and at the same time is engaged in the restaurant business. However, after 5 years the relationship ended.
Literally 2 years after the divorce, Mikhalkov decides to marry a second time, this time Tatyana Shigareva. The aspiring director made a marriage proposal after just a few months of dating. Having gathered all his friends, he told everyone that he loved Tatyana and intended to propose to her. Tatyana was surprised by such an unexpected turn of events, but she agreed. And she was not mistaken in her choice. They celebrated their 45th anniversary of marriage and are raising three beautiful children who will continue the dynasty of artists. Their eldest daughter Anna will turn 45 years old on May 14, 2020, their son Artem is 44 years old, and their youngest daughter Nadezhda will turn 33 years old in September.

Andrei Konchalovsky and Nikita Mikhalkov
At the age of 7, little Nikita became a student at a special school with a mathematical focus, in which, after completing the primary school course, he was unable to continue his studies, as he could not cope with mastering the material in the exact sciences. When it became clear that the child could no longer solve a single problem on his own, he was transferred to a regular school.
From early childhood, Nikita Mikhalkov showed his creative abilities, which did not particularly surprise his relatives, because the boy is a descendant of the most famous creative dynasty, dating back to the 15th century. Nikita attended a music school and a theater studio. In his youth, Mikhalkov dreamed of an acting career and comprehensively developed in this direction.

In 1963, the future legend of Russian cinema entered the Shchukin Theater School, from which in his fourth year he was expelled for active filming, which at that time was not encouraged in the educational institution.
This circumstance did not upset the guy much, and he did not for a moment change his mind about continuing his studies at theater universities. Immediately after being expelled from Shchuka, Nikita entered VGIK for his second year, which his brother Andrei had already graduated by that time.
Nikita Mikhalkov in his youth
After graduating from VGIK in 1971, Nikita Mikhalkov was called up to serve in the Kamchatka Fleet on board the cruiser Mikhail Kutuzov. Even during his army years, the creative young man did not miss the opportunity to show his talent and took an active part in army amateur performance concerts.
Films and directing
Mikhalkov's acting career began at the age of 14. His debut was his episodic role in the film “The Sun Shines on Everyone,” which was followed by several more films, in particular, Nikita played in the films “The Adventures of Krosh” and “Clouds over Borsk.”
The first serious role of the young talented actor Mikhalkov took place in the film “I Walk Around Moscow,” which brought him fame and popularity among the audience. Along with his acting career, Nikita Mikhalkov was active as a director. In 1974, Mikhalkov’s first film, “One Among Strangers, a Stranger Among Friend,” was released. After this, the aspiring director began a fruitful period that lasted more than ten years. Back then, almost every year the director shot successful films that were repeatedly awarded prestigious film awards.

Also, actor Nikita Mikhalkov continued to act in films and was loved by society for his roles in the films “Station for Two,” “Simbiriada,” and “Cruel Romance.” The latter became a landmark film not only for Mikhalkov, but also for the famous TV presenter and actress Larisa Guzeeva. In 1984, for his significant contribution to Russian cinema, actor and director Nikita Mikhalkov was awarded the title of People's Artist of the Russian Federation.
In the late 80s, the then-famous actor and director created the production agency TriTe, whose first work was the triumphant film Urga - Territory of Love, which received a Nika and an Oscar. In 1992, the successful and talented Nikita Mikhalkov joined the presidium of the Russian Cultural Foundation, and in 1993 he headed it.

In 1993, Mikhalkov’s next film entitled “Anna: from 6 to 18” was released, in which the director-screenwriter talked about the life of his eldest daughter Anna. Curious spectators had the opportunity to observe the growth of the future actress. A year later, Nikita Sergeevich directed the still popular film Burnt by the Sun, which won many prestigious awards, including an Oscar and the Grand Prix of the Cannes Film Festival.
In 1998, the legend of Russian cinema became the head of the Union of Cinematographers of Russia, without stopping his creative activity in both acting and directing directions. In 1999, Mikhalkov’s film “The Barber of Siberia” was released, in 2007 – “12”, in 2010 – “Burnt by the Sun-2”, in 2013 – “Foreign Land”, in 2014 – “Sunstroke”, almost all of who were awarded honorary nominations. Some of Nikita Sergeevich’s last roles were the films “Dead Man’s Bluff,” “It Doesn’t Hurt Me,” and “State Councilor.”

In 2008, Nikita Mikhalkov could have lost his post as head of the Union of Cinematographers. The next congress elected Marlen Khutsiev as its head. The main complaint against the director was the opacity of the financial activities of the Union and disrespect for the decisions of the congresses. Mikhalkov called the elections illegitimate and called for emergency re-elections. This allowed Nikita Sergeevich to remain in his post.
The director said he could be a good enemy, and for a long time he created professional problems for anyone who voted against his candidacy. He ousted many of them from the Union, and also started a conflict with the magazine “Iskusstvo Kino”, which also supported Khutsiev.
Business and social activities
Since 2009, the famous director and actor Nikita Mikhalkov has become one of the organizers of the wine business in Italy, in the production areas of which a brand of elite wine called “Dodici” is produced, which means “twelve” in Italian. This wine is named after Mikhalkov’s film “12”.
In addition, the famous director owns the Temino-Lesnoye and Temino-Pavlovskoye forestry enterprises, where timber is processed and furniture is produced. Nikita Mikhalkov is also a co-owner of one of the largest diamond processing plants in Russia (), against which in 2013 the FSB of the Russian Federation opened a criminal case for illegal trade.

The famous film director and actor is also active in social activities. A loud public outcry with his participation occurred in 2007. Then three cultural figures, including Nikita Mikhalkov, wrote a letter to Vladimir Putin, in which they called on the Russian president to continue his political activities and remain for a third presidential term. Critics considered such an act outrageous, since the authors of the letter allegedly expressed the opinion of all Russian actors and artists.

In 2011, the director began to master the Internet. He registered on the LiveJournal platform and on Youtube. He began blogging under the nickname “Nikita the Besogon,” hinting at his heavenly patron. In this video magazine, Nikita Mikhalkov fought against, in his opinion, untrue information on the Internet. The channel was promoted by numerous famous bloggers. The video blog quickly gained popularity and acquired many subscribers. From this grew the author’s Internet program “Besogon TV,” which was not particularly warmly received by ordinary users.

The famous cultural figure Nikita Mikhalkov did not remain aloof from the “Ukrainian issue”, to which he devoted several episodes of his author’s program “Besogon TV”. In them, the director shared with the audience his opinion about the situation in Ukraine, talked about the fascists and Banderaites, and also expressed regret about the fanaticism of the residents of the western region of the country from Stepan Bandera.
Nikita Mikhalkov and Vladimir Putin
In 2020, Nikita Mikhalkov and Andrei Konchalovsky created a project for the Russian public catering chain “Eat at Home!”, which was supposed to become an alternative to the foreign McDonald's. The brother-directors turned to Russian President Vladimir Putin for help and asked to invest 971.8 million rubles in the project. The Russian authorities later responded that they were ready to invest 70% of the specified amount; the brothers would have to find the remaining 30% themselves. The official face of the network “Eating at Home!” Yulia Vysotskaya became the wife of Andrei Konchalovsky. Soon Mikhalkov changed the name of the network to “We Eat Like At Home.” The chain's first restaurant may open as early as 2020.
