Roman Kostomarov

Roman Sergeevich Kostomarov

(born February 8, 1977, Moscow, RSFSR, USSR) is a Russian figure skater who competed in ice dancing with Tatyana Navka. Paired with her is the 2006 Olympic champion, two-time world champion, three-time European champion, three-time winner of the Grand Prix finals, 1996 world junior champion, and three-time Russian champion. Honored Master of Sports of Russia.

At different times, Kostomarov’s partners were also Ekaterina Davydova and Anna Semenovich.

Career

He began figure skating at the age of 9 at the AZLK Ice Palace under the guidance of Lidia Karavaeva. With her daughter, Ekaterina Davydova, Roman performed for about 10 years, won the World Junior Championship (1996), and became a bronze medalist at the Russian Championship (1997). They were favorites at the Winter Universiade, but were unable to complete the competition.

In 1998, he joined the group of Natalya Linichuk, who invited him to team up with Tatyana Navka. The new duo lived and trained in Delaware (USA).

A year later, Natalya Linichuk considered the duet unpromising and offered Roman a new partner - Anna Semenovich. With her, they became silver medalists at the 2000 Russian Championship, but at the European Championship they ended up only in 10th place, and at the world championship in 13th. After this, Kostomarov decided to resume cooperation with Tatyana Navka. Tatiana's husband Alexander Zhulin became their coach.

Victory at the Olympic Games in Turin, 2006

Navka and Kostomarov approached the 2006 Olympics in Turin as undisputed favorites: since 2004, they have not lost a single competition and took gold everywhere. The skaters' main emphasis was on the free program with the dance "Carmen", choreographed by Tatyana Druchinina, the 1987 world champion in rhythmic gymnastics. As Navka admitted, when preparing the Spanish dance, she was “ inspired by the image of the brilliant ballerina Maya Plisetskaya

"
On the eve of the Olympics, the program was well received by the French public at the European Championships in Lyon. The Olympic start was not easy: after the compulsory dance, the hosts of the Olympics, 2001 world champions Barbara Fusar-Poli and Maurizio Margaglio, were in the lead. In the original dance, the Italian made a grave mistake, falling while performing a simple element, and the Russians took the lead, with a lead of less than one and a half points from the Americans Tanith Belbin/Benjamin Agosto. In the decisive free dance, the American skaters made two mistakes, while Navka and Kostomarov, according to Elena Vaitsekhovskaya, showed “ outstanding performance
.”
The judge's score was more moderate - 101.37 points, which is lower than the pair's record of 113.17, but it was quite enough for Olympic gold. “ Tears of happiness flowed down Carmen’s face
,” wrote enthusiastic newspapers. The champions showed a very emotional number to the romance by Mark Minkov and Veronika Tushnova “Loving Do Not Renounce” with a spectacular, memorable finale at the final gala concert, and subsequently demonstrated it more than once in various performances[2][3].

After winning the Olympic Games in Turin in 2006, Tatyana Navka and Roman Kostomarov decided to end their sports careers. It was immediately decided that the couple would remain together and continue performing in professional shows[4].

“Perhaps in five years I’ll become a coach”

— You have been working with Ilya Averbukh for 15 years. Tell us how the industry has changed during this time?

— It all started with some two or three shows. From just a few cities. They looked quite primitive - both in terms of lighting, music, and advertising. 15 years ago everything was in its infancy. Now we can say that this is a huge company of Averbukh. A completely different level, everything is serious.

— Averbukh said in one of his interviews that at first the show brought losses. Have you thought about giving them up?

— There was an understanding that it was necessary to gain the trust of the audience so that later people would come to the big show. As in any business, at first you will be at a loss. But 15 years later, Ilya and the company proved everything to everyone. Few projects in our country survive for such a long time.

You can always learn something. In sports we had the same goals and objectives, but now we have a creative career. We don't forget that we need to skate well. This is what we train for. But now our hands are free, we are open to creativity, so artistically we can do even more than athletes do in sports

— How many years did it take for people to confidently come to the show?

- About five years. Perhaps faster. Because in 2006, the projects “Ice Age”, “Stars on Ice” and so on appeared on TV. They gave impetus and brought enormous popularity to figure skating in the country. This was a good effect for Ilya and his company. TV is TV.

— So the demand for the show is stable now?

- Certainly. Now we give more than 100 shows and performances a year at least. Last year we performed for the first time in Verona, Italy, Juliet’s homeland. The feelings we had there were unforgettable. The crowded arena showed that people knew where they were going and who they were going to.

— What development do you see for yourself in the ice show?

“We try to come up with something new, because you can’t perform the same program every year. Averbukh is a generator of ideas; all productions are born in his head. It all started with the musical “City Lights”. Then there was Carmen. Then Romeo and Juliet.

As for your own development, you can always learn something. In sports we had the same goals and objectives, but now we have a creative career. We don't forget that we need to skate well. This is what we train for. But now our hands are free, we are open to creativity, so artistically we can do even more than athletes do in sports.

Plus, all the Ice Age projects helped us a lot, since there we could learn acting from theater and film stars. I would like to note that that project greatly influenced the development of figure skating in Russia. Skates were being bought all over the country; they were unavailable in stores. The popularity of the project was crazy.

— Is performing in shows your main activity now?

- Yes.

- If not for them, what could you be doing now?

- I can say anything. But, most likely, it would be coaching work. This is probably what skaters do best after finishing their careers. There are those who are trying to go into business somewhere, open their own restaurant. But I know enough cases where people got burned by this. Because you need to learn everything and be a professional in your field.

— But are you considering a coaching career in the future?

- Maybe yes. Perhaps I’ll become a coach in five years, when the show “Twenty Years of Success” comes out (laughs). At the moment, the show takes up all my time, which I am extremely happy about. I want to ride because I’m ready for it both physically and mentally.

I think that Zagitova shouldn’t even fight with the younger generation. She won every title there was to win. In the situation with Zagitova, in my opinion, it is better for her to leave as champion. Better with a shield than on a shield. Then it will be a thousand times harder for her

After sports

After completing his sports career, Roman returned from the USA to Russia. Since 2006, he has been a regular participant in Channel One projects produced by Ilya Averbukh. In addition, R. Kostomarov tried himself as an actor.

About Russia's problems in ice dancing

— After your dance duet with Tatyana Navka completed its performances, Russia had no more gold. In your opinion, what is the problem?

— I think the fact that in the 90s many of our specialists went abroad played a role. Mainly to the USA and Canada. Many still work there to this day. A generation of foreigners appeared there who grew up, one might say, in the Russian school. The level of ice dancing has increased throughout the world. Previously, our country dominated everywhere in figure skating. There were still successes in post-Soviet times. But then foreign couples caught up in level, and now Canada has two-time Olympic champions in ice dancing. They won the Olympics at the age of 23 - this has never happened before. In our time, partners reached maturity, “adult” skating, around the age of 30. Now the Canadians have jumped the barrier. Two-time Olympic champions - what can we talk about? Great fellows. But our couples were a little behind.

But, again, after the Olympics in Sochi, the Ilins and Katsalaps couple broke up. Nikita now skates with Victoria Sinitsyna. They separated from the Ilyins due to some personal matters, although in the individual competition they were already bronze medalists and in the future had a good chance of becoming champions, but the couple broke up. It turned out to be a failure in the results. But now our couple is already stepping on the heels of the French, who are still leaders in current ice dancing. From year to year you need to prove your professionalism and show stability. Because it often happens that they disrupt some elements and because of this they lose.

— Is the current trend, when the Olympic Games are won mainly by young people, bad or good?

“That’s how young people always won them.” The bar has moved in ice dancing, yes. And in other events the youth always won. In women's skating they always won at the age of 16, in men's - at 20. In dancing they always won by the age of 30. In pair skating, too, at about the same age. It’s so established in figure skating that the older you are, the more difficult it is for you. Moreover, it is very difficult to confirm your victory. At the same world championship you can win once, but it’s already very difficult to win two.

— You are taking part in the project “Ice Age. Children". In your opinion, what impact does it have on children's figure skating?

— Judging by how many talented children there are now, we can say that this project contributes to the development of figure skating in the country. Of course, more children are coming to this sport. They see how our best girls skate, and many at the age of 10 jump such complex cascades that 15-20 years ago this would have been difficult to imagine. In technical terms, the level has increased greatly.

Personal life

In June 2004, Roman Kostomarov married Russian figure skater Yulia Lautova, who competed for Austria. They divorced in 2007. Until 2013, he was in a civil marriage with Oksana Domnina[7]. On January 2, 2011, Roman and Oksana became parents, their daughter Anastasia was born[8]. In December 2013, in a press interview, Domnina announced the end of this relationship, citing the fact that Roman never proposed to her[9]. But since February 2014, Anastasia’s parents began to live together again, and on April 25, 2014, on the initiative of Kostomarov, the skaters got married after seven years of civil marriage[10]. In January 2020, the couple had a son[11].

Ten men for Tatyana Navka

We lasted exactly a year without Ice Ages and other ice dances, but we couldn’t do it any longer. Apparently, Ilya Averbukh has hooked TV viewers so tightly on the “ice needle” that it is no longer possible to get off it. Ilya will offer viewers a new ice “dish” - the “Professionals Cup”, in which the world and Olympic champions will perform not with representatives of show business, but with equal professionals. So, only skaters, and the best ones at that, will skate on the project. Only “skaters”, and the most venerable ones at that, will judge. For the first time, at one judge’s table we will see two “coaching blocks” of figure skating at once - Tatyana Tarasova and Elena Tchaikovskaya. And even the program will be hosted not by the beloved actors Marat Basharov and Anastasia Zavorotnyuk, but by figure skaters Alexey Yagudin and Irina Slutskaya.

“Why did they decide to do without pop stars this time? - you ask. “Has Ilya Averbukh really put all the artists and singers on skates?” No, it’s just that even the most physically fit celebrity will not be able to learn to skate in a few months the way real champions do. So watch and enjoy!

Twenty participants form ten pairs. However, as the project progresses, the composition of the pairs will change: in each program, the partner will skate with a new partner from among the participants. For example, Tatyana Navka will eventually change ten partners. As a result, everyone must score as many points as possible in their personal assets. Performances are scored by judges on a six-point system, separately for technique and artistry. The total final score received by the pair for the performance goes into the asset of each participant from this pair. Thus, after all the performances, the best partner and the best partner will be determined, who will become the winners of the show.

The hosts of the project are Alexey Yagudin and Irina Slutskaya.

Introducing the participants of the television project.

Tatiana Navka

European, world and Olympic champion paired with Roman Kostomarov.

All last fall, the press sent the star skater on maternity leave. It was rumored that she was expecting a child from Marat Basharov and for this reason she was “hiding” in the jury in the Bolero project. However, contrary to rumors, Tatyana decided to go on the ice and show off her excellent figure in the new show. A new wave of gossip makes Tatyana marry a certain politician, whose name is kept secret.

Maria Petrova

World and European champion in figure skating paired with Alexei Tikhonov.

Maria and Alexei have long been considered husband and wife by everyone, although they have never formalized an official relationship - they don’t find the time.

Maria Petrova and Alexey Tikhonov

Alexey Tikhonov

European and world champion paired with Maria Petrova.

Alexey’s sports career is very “variegated”: he was both the champion of Japan and the champion of Russia, went to the Tatyana Tarasova Ice Theater, and then returned to big-time sports.

Bronze medalist at the World and European Championships with Povilas Vanagas.

Margarita and Povilas got married in 2000, and since then rumors have constantly separated them. But contrary to rumors, the skaters are still together.

Irina Lobacheva

World and European champion, Olympic silver medalist with Ilya Averbukh.

After her divorce from Ilya, Irina began an affair with actor Dmitry Maryanov. True, things didn’t come to a wedding: a couple of months ago the couple broke up on the set of the film “My Obnoxious Grandfather,” where the figure skater, under Maryanova’s patronage, made her debut as an actress.

Irina Lobacheva and Ruslan Goncharov

Ruslan Goncharov

Bronze medalist of the World Championships and Olympic Games, medalist of the European Championships with Elena Grushina.

About Finassessment testing

Yes, I passed the tests. There were more correct answers, but I also spent more time answering than before starting training. When answering the test before studying, I used my residual knowledge. And after the training, I thought more about the answer, trying to remember and sort through the information received during the course. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the information received during training has not yet settled down and has not had time to be systematized in the head. I received a very large amount of data in a fairly short period of time, and I felt like there was a bit of a mess in my head.

Romance with Katya

He came to figure skating relatively late, so a career in singles or pair skating was difficult due to the complex technique, in addition, he was quite tall. At the same time, figure skater Kostomarov was surprisingly flexible, had a great sense of music, which allowed him to show himself well in ice dancing.

Considering the warm relationship between Roman and his mentor Lydia Karavaeva, it is quite logical that she invited him to try his hand at pairing with her own daughter Katya Davydova. They skated together for more than ten years, and with her, figure skater Kostomarov began his great sports career at the youth level.

In 1996, the guys made a bright debut at the international level, winning the World Junior Championship, and a year later they were third at the adult Russian championship. Kostomarov and Davydova were considered the main favorites of the Winter Universiade, but could not reach the end of the tournament.

An excerpt characterizing Kostomarov, Roman Sergeevich

November 5 was the first day of the so-called Krasnensky battle. Before the evening, when after many disputes and mistakes of generals who went to the wrong place; after sending out adjutants with counter-orders, when it became clear that the enemy was fleeing everywhere and there could not be and would not be a battle, Kutuzov left Krasnoye and went to Dobroye, where the main apartment had been transferred that day. The day was clear and frosty. Kutuzov, with a huge retinue of generals dissatisfied with him and whispering behind him, rode to Dobroy on his fat white horse. Along the entire road, groups of French prisoners taken that day (seven thousand of them were taken that day) crowded around the fires, warming up. Not far from Dobroye, a huge crowd of ragged, bandaged and wrapped prisoners was buzzing with conversation, standing on the road next to a long row of unharnessed French guns. As the commander-in-chief approached, the conversation fell silent, and all eyes stared at Kutuzov, who, in his white cap with a red band and a cotton overcoat, sitting hunched over his stooped shoulders, was slowly moving along the road. One of the generals reported to Kutuzov where the guns and prisoners were taken. Kutuzov seemed preoccupied with something and did not hear the general’s words. He squinted his eyes with displeasure and peered carefully and intently at those figures of the prisoners who presented a particularly pitiful appearance. Most of the faces of the French soldiers were disfigured by frostbitten noses and cheeks, and almost all had red, swollen and festering eyes. One group of Frenchmen stood close by the road, and two soldiers - the face of one of them was covered with sores - was tearing a piece of raw meat with their hands. There was something scary and animalistic in that quick glance that they cast at those passing by, and in that angry expression with which the soldier with the sores, looking at Kutuzov, immediately turned away and continued his work. Kutuzov looked at these two soldiers carefully for a long time; Wrinkling his face even more, he narrowed his eyes and shook his head thoughtfully. In another place, he noticed a Russian soldier, who, laughing and patting the Frenchman on the shoulder, said something affectionately to him. Kutuzov shook his head again with the same expression. - What are you saying? What? - he asked the general, who continued to report and drew the commander-in-chief’s attention to the captured French banners that stood in front of the front of the Preobrazhensky regiment. - Ah, banners! - said Kutuzov, apparently having difficulty tearing himself away from the subject that occupied his thoughts. He looked around absently. Thousands of eyes from all sides, waiting for his word, looked at him. He stopped in front of the Preobrazhensky Regiment, sighed heavily and closed his eyes. Someone from the retinue waved for the soldiers holding the banners to come up and place their flag poles around the commander-in-chief. Kutuzov was silent for a few seconds and, apparently reluctantly, obeying the necessity of his position, raised his head and began to speak. Crowds of officers surrounded him. He looked carefully around the circle of officers, recognizing some of them. – Thank you everyone! - he said, turning to the soldiers and again to the officers. In the silence that reigned around him, his slowly spoken words were clearly audible. “I thank everyone for their difficult and faithful service.” The victory is complete, and Russia will not forget you. Glory to you forever! “He paused, looking around. “Bend him down, bend his head,” he said to the soldier who was holding the French eagle and accidentally lowered it in front of the banner of the Preobrazhensky soldiers. - Lower, lower, that’s it. Hooray! “Guys,” with a quick movement of his chin, turn to the soldiers, he said. - Hurray rah rah! - thousands of voices roared. While the soldiers were shouting, Kutuzov, bending over the saddle, bowed his head, and his eye lit up with a gentle, as if mocking, shine. “That’s it, brothers,” he said when the voices fell silent... And suddenly his voice and expression changed: the commander-in-chief stopped speaking, and a simple, old man spoke, obviously wanting to tell his comrades the very thing he needed now. There was a movement in the crowd of officers and in the ranks of soldiers to hear more clearly what he would say now. - Here's what, brothers. I know it’s difficult for you, but what can you do? Be patient; not long left. Let's see the guests out and then rest. The king will not forget you for your service. It’s difficult for you, but you’re still at home; and they - see what they have come to,” he said, pointing to the prisoners. - Worse than the last beggars. While they were strong, we did not feel sorry for ourselves, but now we can feel sorry for them. They are people too. Right, guys? He looked around him, and in the persistent, respectfully perplexed glances fixed on him, he read sympathy for his words: his face became lighter and lighter from an senile, meek smile, wrinkled like stars in the corners of his lips and eyes. He paused and lowered his head as if in bewilderment. - And even then, who called them to us? Serves them right, m... and... in g.... - he suddenly said, raising his head. And, swinging his whip, he galloped, for the first time in the entire campaign, away from the joyfully laughing and roaring cheers that upset the ranks of the soldiers. The words spoken by Kutuzov were hardly understood by the troops. No one would have been able to convey the content of the field marshal’s first solemn and, at the end, innocently old man’s speech; but the heartfelt meaning of this speech was not only understood, but that same, that very feeling of majestic triumph, combined with pity for the enemies and the consciousness of one’s rightness, expressed by this, precisely this old man’s, good-natured curse - this very (feeling lay in the soul of every soldier and was expressed by a joyful cry that did not cease for a long time. When after this one of the generals turned to him with a question about whether the commander-in-chief would order the carriage to arrive, Kutuzov, answering, unexpectedly sobbed, apparently being in great excitement. November 8th is the last day of the Krasnenskys battles; it was already dark when the troops arrived at the place where they spent the night. The whole day was quiet, frosty, with light, sparse snow falling; in the evening it began to become clearer. Through the snowflakes, a black-purple starry sky could be seen, and the frost began to intensify. The musketeer regiment leaving Tarutino numbering three thousand, now, numbering nine hundred people, he was one of the first to arrive at the appointed place for the night, in a village on the high road. The quartermasters who met the regiment announced that all the huts were occupied by sick and dead Frenchmen, cavalrymen and staff. There was only one hut for the regimental commander. The regimental commander drove up to his hut. The regiment passed through the village and placed the guns on the goats at the outer huts on the road. Like a huge, multi-membered animal, the regiment set to work organizing its lair and food. One part of the soldiers scattered, knee-deep in the snow, into the birch forest that was to the right of the village, and immediately the sound of axes, cutlasses, the crackling of breaking branches and cheerful voices were heard in the forest; the other part was busy around the center of the regimental carts and horses, placed in a pile, taking out cauldrons, crackers and giving food to the horses; the third part scattered in the village, setting up headquarters rooms, selecting the dead bodies of the French lying in the huts, and taking away boards, dry firewood and straw from the roofs for fires and wattle fences for protection. About fifteen soldiers behind the huts, from the edge of the village, with a cheerful cry, were swinging the high fence of the barn, from which the roof had already been removed. - Well, well, together, lie down! - voices shouted, and in the darkness of the night a huge fence covered with snow swayed with a frosty crack. The lower stakes cracked more and more often, and finally the fence collapsed along with the soldiers pressing on it. There was a loud, crudely joyful cry and laughter. - Take two at a time! bring the horn here! that's it. Where are you going? - Well, at once... Stop, guys!.. With a shout! Everyone fell silent, and a quiet, velvety pleasant voice began to sing a song. At the end of the third stanza, at the same time as the end of the last sound, twenty voices cried out in unison: “Uuuu!” It's coming! Together! Pile on, kids!..” But, despite the united efforts, the fence moved little, and in the established silence one could hear heavy panting. - Hey you, sixth company! Devils, devils! Help us... we will also come in handy. Of the sixth company, about twenty people who were going to the village joined those dragging them; and the fence, five fathoms long and a fathom wide, bending, pressing and cutting the shoulders of the puffing soldiers, moved forward along the village street. - Go, or what... Fall, Eka... What happened? This and that... The funny, ugly curses did not stop. - What's wrong? – suddenly the commanding voice of a soldier was heard, running towards the carriers. - Gentlemen are here; in the hut he himself was anal, and you, devils, devils, swearers. I'll! – the sergeant major shouted and hit the first soldier who turned up in the back with a flourish. – Can’t you be quiet? The soldiers fell silent. The soldier who had been hit by the sergeant-major began, grunting, to wipe his face, which he had torn into blood when he stumbled upon a fence. - Look, damn, how he fights! “My whole face was bleeding,” he said in a timid whisper when the sergeant-major left. - Don’t you love Ali? - said a laughing voice; and, moderating the sounds of voices, the soldiers moved on. Having got out of the village, they spoke again just as loudly, peppering the conversation with the same aimless curses. In the hut, past which the soldiers passed, the highest authorities had gathered, and over tea there was a lively conversation about the past day and the proposed maneuvers of the future. It was supposed to make a flank march to the left, cut off the viceroy and capture him. When the soldiers brought the fence, kitchen fires were already flaring up from different sides. Firewood crackled, snow melted, and the black shadows of soldiers scurried back and forth throughout the occupied space trampled in the snow. Axes and cutlasses worked from all sides. Everything was done without any orders. They hauled firewood for the night's reserves, erected huts for the authorities, boiled pots, and stored guns and ammunition. The fence dragged by the eighth company was placed in a semicircle on the north side, supported by bipods, and a fire was laid out in front of it. We broke the dawn, made calculations, had dinner and settled down for the night by the fires - some mending shoes, some smoking a pipe, some stripped naked, steaming out lice. It would seem that in those almost unimaginably difficult conditions of existence in which Russian soldiers found themselves at that time - without warm boots, without sheepskin coats, without a roof over their heads, in the snow at 18° below zero, without even the full amount of provisions, it would not always be possible to keeping up with the army - it seemed that the soldiers should have presented the saddest and most depressing sight. On the contrary, never, in the best material conditions, has the army presented a more cheerful, lively spectacle. This happened because every day everything that began to despondency or weaken was thrown out of the army. Everything that was physically and morally weak had long been left behind: only one color of the army remained - in terms of strength of spirit and body. The largest number of people gathered at the 8th company, which bordered the fence. Two sergeants sat down next to them, and their fire burned brighter than others. They demanded an offering of firewood for the right to sit under the fence. - Hey, Makeev, what are you... disappeared or were you eaten by wolves? “Bring some wood,” shouted one red-haired soldier, squinting and blinking from the smoke, but not moving away from the fire. “Go ahead and carry some wood, crow,” this soldier turned to another. Red was not a non-commissioned officer or a corporal, but he was a healthy soldier, and therefore commanded those who were weaker than him. A thin, small soldier with a sharp nose, who was called a crow, obediently stood up and went to carry out the order, but at that time the thin, beautiful figure of a young soldier carrying a load of firewood entered the light of the fire. - Come here. That's important! They broke the firewood, pressed it, blew it with their mouths and overcoat skirts, and the flames hissed and crackled. The soldiers moved closer and lit their pipes. The young, handsome soldier who had brought the firewood leaned his hands on his hips and began to quickly and deftly stamp his chilled feet in place. “Ah, mamma, the cold dew is good, and like a musketeer...” he chanted, as if hiccupping on every syllable of the song. - Hey, the soles will fly off! – the red-haired man shouted, noticing that the dancer’s sole was dangling. - What poison to dance!

Anastasia Romanovna

Anastasia Romanovna

- the first wife of Tsar Ivan Vasilyevich the Terrible, from the Zakharyin-Yurin family, who later received the nickname Romanov. This genus has long been known in the Moscow state; Their ancestor, Andrei Kobyla, they say, left Prussia. Anastasia's father, Roman Yuryevich, served as a okolnik under Grand Duke Ioann Vasilyevich. After the death of her father, Anastasia lived with her mother Juliania Feodorovna. In 1547, the king decided to marry into the kingdom, and then get married. Even before the royal wedding, letters were sent to cities with instructions to take the girls to the governors for inspection; those chosen by the governors were brought to Moscow, where the tsar chose a bride from among them. The choice fell on Anastasia, and on February 3 the wedding ceremony took place. They say that the queen had great influence on the king; the chronicle says: “the good Anastasia instructed and led John in all sorts of virtues.” It would be impossible to dwell on this too general testimony, just like the testimony that the beggars and the poor mourned her not because of alms, if it were not known that the formidable king, despite his unbridledness, remained faithful to Anastasia until her of death. In 1559, Anastasia fell ill; As a result of a fire (in July 1560), she was taken to Kolomenskoye, where she died. During this illness, the tsar had a clash with one of his advisers, whom he already suspected of being disliked by the Zakharyins and who, for their part, considered the Zakharyins the main reason for their downfall. Then disgrace befell Sylvester and Adashev.
