Childhood and youth
Bodrov’s wife, Sergei, tries to appear in public less, believing that her life should be closed from the press.
It is quite rare to see her at social events. Frank conversations with media representatives are not at all a common occurrence. That is why there is no detailed information about the periods that cover her childhood and youth. Even the dates of birth in each source are different.
According to some sources, Svetlana was born on August 17, 1970, and according to others, on March 17, 1967. If we take as a basis an interview taken from Svetlana almost 15 years ago, then the figures indicated by the latter are more realistic.
The press learned that in Kudrino, near Moscow, a woman inherited a plot of land from her grandparents. According to the press, it was in this village that Svetlana was born.
The newlyweds moved to the same locality immediately after registering their marriage. They began to live as one family in their own house. Previously they lived in Romenki. At the moment, Bodrova lives in the capital.
As soon as the girl received a certificate of secondary education, she entered the capital’s Institute of Geodesy, Cartography and Aerial Photography. There she studied journalism.
By the time I graduated from school, the Soviet Union had collapsed. Therefore, the girl found herself in a difficult position. She had no idea what she would do now or how to earn a living.
First of all, she began to look for work in enterprises and cooperatives, but the only thing she had a soul for was making films.
Her life was radically changed by one call from her friend, who invited her to work as an administrator in the Vzglyad program. She never dreamed of such a turn, despite the fact that she had previously been with her friend Bodrova in Ostankino. My friend's mother worked there.
Of course, she agreed without hesitation. In 1991, the girl (at that time bearing the surname Mikhailova) ended up on the body's staff. She owes this to the choice of “Muz Oboz”.
The well-known Demidov Ivan sent his wards, Svetlana and Butovsky Roman, to Shabolovka. At the Institute for Advanced Training of Television Employees, they had to master all the intricacies of editing and acquire additional skills in directing.
In addition to “Muz Oboz”, the girl also worked on “Sharks of the Feather”. This issue, the first with Valery Leontyev, was prepared record-breakingly quickly, but everything turned out just right.
She said that no one expected a different result, because each specialist was maximally concentrated on his work and performed it impeccably.
A separate column in Svetlana’s biography is associated with the “Wait for Me” program. She was invited to this project by Sergey Kushnerev, producer and editor-in-chief of VID.
At that time, the program was known under a different name - “Looking for You.” At first, the first parts of the program were shown on RTR, but later, by 1999, viewers saw it on the first federal channel.
Life after death
After the death of Sergei Bodrov, Svetlana was left alone with two children. She was simply heartbroken and still refuses to believe that her beloved husband died , because the body was never found. But it was necessary to raise the children and there was no one to help her.
Svetlana coped with a difficult task. Now the daughter is a student at a theater university, and upon admission she carefully hid her last name and did not even say her patronymic. The secret was revealed only after she passed the last competition. Alexander is currently studying at school.
Svetlana says that her husband’s character was completely conveyed to her son, and even Sergei can be seen in his movements. She believes that if he were alive, the man would have an ideal relationship with his son.
As for Svetlana herself, even 16 years after the tragedy, her husband lives in her heart. That is why she does not even consider options to get married again. For her, Sergei became her last husband. Five years of family life have become the happiest for her and she is convinced that this comes only once in a lifetime.
Movies
Due to her directorial work, Svetlana was usually out of the frame, but she did play a small role in an episode of one film. Bodrova's debut took place in 2000 in the well-known film "Brother-2", where she performed a cameo. At the very beginning, there were no plans for the appearance of employees usually present “off stage” in the film.
At first it was thought that Danil Bagrov would be invited to Alexander Lyubimov at the Vzglyad studio. However, at the last moment everyone changed their game. Such a decision was a real shock; Alexey Balabanov was especially upset. He decided to even forget about the continuation.
However, the situation was saved by one idea that came to the Bodrovs’ heads. Ivan Demidov appeared in the frame, as well as Svetlana, the director. Thus, gratitude was expressed to the entire film crew who took part in the creation of the film.
He even gave words to Svetlana. She had to simply impersonate herself, say the usual commands. A very memorable phrase was: “Sash, don’t cut his head.”
It was left in the editing, and in the credits all the specialists were designated as “people who played themselves.” At that time, the girl bore the surname Mikhailova (after her first husband).
Later she took part in the creation of such films as “The Last Hero” and “The Messenger”.
Creative path
Sergei did not choose the profession of an actor due to his father’s instructions, although he played his first role in the film “Freedom is Paradise”, and a little later - “Prisoner of the Caucasus”. Cinema and television followed Sergei on his heels. Bodrov began working in the “Vzglyad” program, then starred in the film “Brother”. Later, a sequel to the film was filmed, followed by work as a director in the film “Sisters.” The films “Stringer”, “East-West”, “Let’s do it quickly”, “Bear Kiss” passed almost unnoticed by the viewer. But it was “Brother” that made Bodrov the most popular artist at the time of its release.

Relations with Otar Kushanashvili
The press talked for a long time about Svetlana’s office romance with Otar Kushanashvili - he became scandalously famous in the 1990s. A prominent beauty fell into his heart when they were working on the same project. He spent quite a long time wooing the girl.
Difficulties also arose because the girl’s past lover was Mikhail - he was active in the criminal world, so his fame was very dubious. According to media reports, it was this man who influenced the promotion of his lover’s career on television.
Svetlana gave in after Otar's long and beautiful courtship. At one time the couple lived together. Their separation was due to the fact that Kushanashvili did not want to officially register their relationship. As soon as they arrived from Turkey, they immediately ended their relationship.
Svetlana
For Svetlana Bodrova this was already the second marriage. A short relationship with a policeman ended in divorce. After this, the girl graduated from the Faculty of Journalism. She worked as the director of the “Muzoboz” program, participated in the creation of “Sharks of the Feather” and “Canon”, and starred in small roles in many films. Married to Sergei, she gave birth to two children. When the actor died, his daughter Olga was four years old, and his son Sasha was only a month old. After the death of her beloved husband, Svetlana did not remarry.
Over the years, she gave only one interview, in which she admitted that she would never be able to find a replacement for her lover. Now he works on Channel One as a television program editor. The woman recalls that Sergei once called her his twin brother, from whom he was separated at birth (he considered her so close to him). Today she sadly notes that the twins have been separated again.
The student who became a mother was condemned. It turned out that the girl was keeping a secret about her daughter.

Meeting and marrying Bodrov
The first time Mikhailova noticed Sergei Bodrov was when one of the episodes of “Vzglyad” was being edited, but then the girl was not impressed by the young actor. She was just angry that her colleagues were occupying the control room, and she urgently needed to edit the Muz Oboz program.
The young people met in 1997. Svetlana was the best employee of the company, so she was guaranteed a vacation anywhere on the globe. The girl wanted to fly to Nice, but ended up in Cuba, where Vzglyad journalists had work.
This happened because the television company decided to combine a vacation and a work visit. Naturally, Svetlana was not happy with this turn of events. This resulted in an unfriendly attitude towards Sergei Kushnerev and Sergei Bodrov.
However, on the way she got into conversation with the first one, and it turned out that he was a very interesting and friendly person. Kushnerev received mourning news during the flight - his father died. That is why the group was divided - Sergei had to fly to Moscow on the first plane.
In Cuba, Svetlana remained only with Kushnerev’s friend, Sergei Bodrov. While at Hemingway's house, they started a conversation that never ended. It was simple and easy for them to talk. We talked about literally everything - about him, about her, about plans for the future, about work and life.
The life of Bodrov Jr.’s wife in 2020
Svetlana Bodrova never improved her personal life after the death of her husband. Svetlana is a very beautiful, intelligent and interesting woman, but she was not lucky enough to get married. Svetlana made attempts to start a new relationship. It is quite possible that Svetlana never found any worthy candidates for her heart. The woman raises the children herself, sometimes her mother helps her.
Svetlana admitted that Sergei Bodrov was the last man who was present in her life. There was no one else in her life, either mentally or physically. Svetlana believes that this is happiness that many women do not experience in their entire lives, because Sergei gave her so many years of a happy marriage. The late artist’s wife also added that if you had a happy period in your life, you will carry it through your whole life.

Children of Svetlana and Sergei Bodrov now
The eldest daughter Olga is studying at GITIS (in the workshop of Leonid Kheifets). Her film debut took place when the actress was 18 years old. She took part in the filming of a short film by her fellow student.
When she entered the university, she did not avoid strict selection, deliberately hiding information about herself. Bodrov Sr. took his granddaughter to star in the film “Kalashnikov”. He was the film's producer and screenwriter.
Alexander is graduating from school and specifically chose the same direction as his father - he wants to study at Moscow State University at the Faculty of History.
At the moment, the whole family lives in an apartment in the center of the capital. Four rooms are enough so that no one feels cramped. The apartment was purchased by the couple shortly before the accident.
The family also goes to a house outside the city, in Kudrino. The couple built it immediately after the wedding.

Meadow Rain Walker
The tragic death of Fast and Furious star Paul Walker at one time shocked the public so much that rumors arose that his death was faked. The most difficult thing to cope with the death of the actor was his daughter, who, as a teenager, found herself under the guns of cameras. Little Meadow Rain even had to prove to the press that her father really died in a car accident.
Walker separated from the girl's mother almost immediately after the girl was born. Meadow spent her early years in Hawaii. At the age of 13, she moved to her father in California, and a couple of years later, Paul Walker passed away.
Now 20-year-old Meadow often posts joint photos with her father on Instagram. She was never attracted to the acting profession; she saw herself only in the modeling business. Thanks to her natural beauty, the girl managed to quickly realize herself in this field. Although she is at the start of her career, her portfolio already includes shooting with famous photographers and collaborating with designers.
Francis Bean Cobain
The daughter of Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love was born on August 18, 1992. Actress Drew Barrymore became the girl's godmother. From birth, Frances grew up in an atmosphere of scandals. During her pregnancy, Courtney stated in an interview that she was taking heroin. The guardianship authorities then deprived the star parents of their rights to the child.
After the death of the Nirvana lead singer, the girl was raised by her paternal grandmother and aunt, because her mother continued to be treated for drug addiction. Francis Bean barely remembers his dad, but claims that he has a strong energetic connection with him.
The rebel received a third of the inheritance and copyrights to Kurt Cobain's songs. However, she herself admits that she does not like the work of her father and his group as a whole. Despite this, she honors the memory of the members of the legendary group. In 2020, Frances became the producer of the documentary film “Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck,” dedicated to the musician.
The girl is in a creative search: she tried herself in music, journalism, and painting. Frances really liked the latter: she has already organized several personal exhibitions.
The daughters of Kurt and Courtney often predicted a modeling career, but this is not part of her plans. Many magazines are trying to get Frances on the covers of their publications, but she refuses to communicate with the press.
Paris Jackson
Paris is an aspiring model, singer and actress. However, many remember her precisely as the daughter of the American King of Pop. The girl herself is not satisfied with this formulation. She struggles to prove that she can make it on her own.
The girl's mother gave up parental rights during the divorce, so Paris lived on the famous ranch with her father. Michael Jackson was the whole world to her, so his death was a real tragedy for the little girl.
In 2012, the girl experienced another shock: she almost became a victim of a rapist. This event turned out to be the last straw; after the incident, Paris made a third attempt at suicide. Then, as a difficult teenager, she was transferred to a specialized therapeutic school in Utah, where the girl gradually came to her senses.
Jackson can often be seen on the covers of various glossy magazines, such as Teen Vogue, Stella, Rolling Stone. The girl also has contracts with Rolling Stone, the IMG Models agency and the Calvin Klein brand. She never wanted to be in the shadow of her star father and live at his expense, so from an early age she tried to earn her own living. In addition to working as a model, Paris appears in music videos and films. In 2020, she made her acting debut in the musical series “Star”.
Lisa Marie Presley
Elvis Presley's daughter was also a rebel in her youth: she did not want to obey the rules of educational institutions, and at the age of 13 she began using drugs, for which she was expelled from schools. Lisa Marie could only be helped at the Scientology center: there she was freed from addiction.
In 2003, the girl presented her first music album, To Whom It May Concern, which turned out to be surprisingly successful. This added motivation to Lisa. She decided not to stop there and continued to be creative.
In two years, the singer recorded 10 songs, released another record and shot several videos. Each of her works caused a storm of emotions among fans. At some point, like many artists, Presley's daughter experienced burnout. She suddenly disappeared from the media space.
Having rethought her life and work, Lisa Maria returned to work only in 2012. The singer began working on new albums, but in a different genre. She collaborated with many famous authors, DJs and performers: Kylie Minogue, Bonnie Raitt, Coldplay.
Now Lisa Marie lives with her children in Los Angeles and dreams of writing an autobiography. Elvis Presley's daughter runs his foundation, which helps homeless families find housing and get back on their feet. She is also a frequent guest at charity events.
Alexander Tsoi (Molchanov)
After breaking up with the lead singer of the Kino group, Alexander Tsoi’s mother began living with another famous rock musician. The child was brought up in an atmosphere of eternal drinking and endless partying, which later determined his lifestyle.
Alexander began writing poetry at the age of five, after the death of his father. He loved to read, but was never able to finish school. At the age of 16, the guy went to Moscow, where he studied English and programming. At the invitation of Konstantin Ernst, Tsoi Jr. worked for about a year on Channel One, but later returned to his native St. Petersburg.
The heir of Viktor Tsoi owns 50% of the creative heritage of the Russian rock star. In 2011, Alexander sold the right to use the song “We Will Continue to Act” to Oleg Tinkov for a million dollars.
Currently, Tsoi Jr. owns his own club Da:da, writes music and lyrics. He leads a closed life and tries to avoid communicating with the media.
Children of Sergei Bodrov
Sergei Bodrov was considered one of the brightest and most talented actors of the late 90s and early 00s. He died tragically in 2002 while filming a new film. The artist’s wife was left with two small children in her arms.
Now Sergei’s daughter is 21 years old. Olga decided to follow in her father's footsteps. She graduated from school with a gold medal and is studying at GITIS in the budget department. For a long time, the girl carefully hid her origins to see what she could do without a big name. In November, the debut full-length film “Kalashnikov” with the participation of Olga Bodrova about the fate of her grandfather is due to be released.
Sergei Bodrov’s son is now 16 years old. The boy is preparing to graduate from school and enter the university, but does not share his plans for the future. He loves history and is considering the possibility of enrolling in the history department of Moscow State University, from which his father also graduated. However, Alexander’s family predicts a creative profession. A few years ago, he worked on his own mini-series of Lego toys.
Undoubtedly, his father’s passion for art was passed on to both heirs. All that remains is to wait for the appearance of the younger Bodrovs on television.
Children of Vladimir Turchinsky
Ilya Turchinsky was never deprived of his father's attention. He and Vladimir often communicated and spent a lot of time together, so the guy followed in the footsteps of the famous dad. Ilya also became interested in strength training and for a long time went in for sports with Turchinsky Sr.
After graduating from the Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the guy worked as a dog handler for a long time. Now he is 32 years old, and he is engaged in the installation and adjustment of security systems.
Vladimir Turchinsky’s daughter from his third marriage, Ksenia, is 19 years old. The girl studies at the Moscow Art Theater School to become a producer and works part-time as a model. Ksenia worked as a fashion model in China for a long time, but decided to get a higher education and returned to Russia, because she does not consider modeling a serious job.
The girl had a strong attachment to her father. She saw him as a mentor and role model. In memory of Vladimir, Ksenia even got an I love you dad tattoo on her wrist.

Svetlana Bodrova now
Since leaving the “Wait for Me” program, Svetlana has been trying to work on other TV channels: “Federation Council”, “NTV”. Later, she finally settles on “First”.
In 2020, she used her personal Facebook account to post a trailer for the Movie Time project. In 2020, she prepared a video for the musical evening “The Sun Walks Along the Boulevards” for the Sovremennik Theater.
In February 2020, the press spread a rumor that Stas Baretsky (a notorious showman and former member of the Leningrad group) decided to touch on the “sacred” and film a sequel to the film “Brother” created by Bodrov.
Naturally, the public immediately reacted sharply to such a statement - all Bodrov’s fans began collecting signatures to prohibit the continuation of filming, believing that this would desecrate the memory of their idol.
Viktor Sukhorukov immediately refused to participate in the planned film. The elder Bodrov said that this attempt was doomed to failure and criticism. His daughter-in-law did not comment on the news.
