Alexander Naumov: personal life (wife, children). Biography

Alexander Naumov: You need to wake up in a good mood // World 24 [5:50] Alexander Naumov.
The fate of a person with Boris Korchevnikov // Russia 1 [53:44] Alexander Nikolaevich Naumov

(born August 1, 1958) is a Russian theater and film actor, Honored Artist of Russia.

Childhood and youth

The artist was born into a family where no one thought about theater and cinema. Parents worked at the factory. As the actor later recalled, his mother and father waited for his birth for 10 long years. They prayed for the birth of a baby in church, which threatened the couple with problems with work.

Life in the Sormovo factory district in Gorky (now Nizhny Novgorod) was not conducive to dreams of art. The village woke up with the factory whistle, and on weekends working people had fun not by going to the theater, but by drinking and fighting.

Already as a child, Alexander became a member of a theater studio. He decided to continue his work history on the railway, but, fortunately for his current fans, after the 8th grade he failed the mathematics exam at the railway technical school.

Alexander Naumov in his youth
In high school, the young man became interested in amateur performances. During 2 years of studying in the school drama club, he became so inspired by the theater that after receiving a certificate of secondary education, he went to a theater university.

A few years later, the mother admitted that when her son entered the Gorky Theater School, she went to church and lit a candle, wishing him to fail the exams. The woman did not believe that her son would be able to settle into the acting environment. Later she changed her attitude towards this profession.

Alexander Naumov entered on the first attempt, which surprised himself - in his youth he could not boast of a decisive character and relaxedness. But the confident “stars” of the school drama club did not enter the theater club, having failed in the 1st round.

After his first year, Naumov, whose height is 189 cm, was called up for military service. Having been demobilized, he returned to school and received a diploma in 1982.

What is known about the wife of actress Olga Budina

Olga Budina’s husband’s name is Alexander Naumov, but do not confuse him with his full namesake - the actor known for the film “Zhukov”.

When the actress started the relationship, she was almost 30 years old. The woman understood that it was time to start a family, and her parents, dreaming of grandchildren, were pressing her. Olga took marriage seriously and dreamed of a happy family.

Alexander Naumov made the actress believe that she would be happy with him. The man swore that he would not leave his beloved for the rest of his life, and the inspired Olga believed in his sincerity. Now, recalling that period of her life, Budina admits that she imagined qualities in her husband that he actually did not have. Naumov promised Olga a happy and comfortable life, but his words turned out to be worthless.

Alexander Naumov: biography and nationality

Almost nothing is known about Olga Budina’s husband. He is a non-public person. We only know that he is several years older than his wife. The nationality is unknown, but the man's surname and appearance indicate Slavic origin.

It was Olga’s parents who insisted that she find a man older than herself, and always with a heavy wallet. Wanting the best for their daughter, they could not imagine how their recommendation would turn out. When Naumov appeared on the horizon - elderly, rich, respectable - the parents decided that this was the ideal candidate for the hand and heart of their talented daughter.

Childhood and youth

The exact age, place of birth and details about Alexander Naumov’s childhood are not known.

Education

Most likely, Naumov received an education in the construction industry, since the activities of Budina’s husband are connected with it.

Entrepreneurial activity

Alexander Naumov is a successful businessman involved in real estate. For some time he lived in Latvia, where, according to Budina, he was engaged in some secret activities. So secret that the entrepreneur even kept his love relationship with the actress a secret. And the wedding was quiet, without press and fuss, surrounded by relatives and closest friends.

Personal life before marriage with an artist

Before meeting Olga Budina, Alexander Naumov was married to another woman, but who she is is not known. It is only known that the entrepreneur has a son from his first marriage. According to Budina, she was not against meeting the boy, but her husband categorically refused to organize their meeting.

Personal life

The actor’s first wife was a classmate named Natalya Merz. The romance broke out when Alexander Naumov and a group of graduates of the Gorky Theater School went to Penza. Here both spouses got a job in the same theater. Natalya was luckier: the artist appeared on stage playing the main characters, and soon became the prima of the theater group.

In addition to his profession, Alexander was jealous of his wife and other men. A difficult period came in his life. At a young age, Naumov decided to completely change his fate. He filed for divorce and went to the capital alone. Parting with Natalya turned out to be easy: there were no children in the family, and the spouses divorced quickly.

In Moscow, the actor at first could not arrange his personal life - he was waiting for a meeting with “his” person. Soon a girl named Maria, his future second wife, appeared in his life. The acquaintance took place at one of the parties, which was organized by Alexander’s colleague Anatoly Ivanov.

The woman had a 7-year-old daughter, Vera, from her first marriage, to whom Alexander Nikolaevich became a father and friend. The lovers had a common son, Sasha. The birth took place at home. For 3 months after the boy was born, the couple could not come up with a name for him. The actor insisted that the baby be named Neil, but at the family council they chose Alexander.

The artist spoke about his family in the program “The Fate of a Man,” where he also showed photos of himself with his wife and parents for the first time.

Often the actor’s name mistakenly appears next to the name of his colleague, actress Budina: the namesake Alexander Naumov is Olga Budina’s ex-husband, an entrepreneur.

Family

Wife, since 1898 - Anna Konstantinovna Ushkova (March 3, 1878, Elabuga - January 8, 1962, Boston)[7], daughter of K.K. Ushkov, elder sister of N.K. Koussevitzkaya - the second wife of S.A. Koussevitzky.

The family had four daughters and two sons:

• Maria (11/14/1898—04/16/1921, Nice); was married, since 1916, to N.V. Polivanov, the son of A.N. Naumov’s second cousin Maria Nikolaevna Yazykova and the Simbirsk provincial leader of the nobility Vladimir Nikolaevich Polivanov.
• Anna (3.3.1900-1993); married Sergei Nikolaevich Leuchtenbergsky
• Olga (2.7.1901, Samara - January 13, 1978, New York), third wife of S. A. Koussevitzky[8].
• Alexander (7.6.1904—?); lived in Brazil; wife - Dina de Mattos-Ferraz Countess Señal.
• Paraskeva (23.2.1906—?)
• Nikolai (31.1.1911—?)

Theater

After graduating from theater school, Alexander Naumov was accepted into the troupe of the Penza theater, where he was offered the role of Emelya in the play “Emelino’s Happiness.” For eight years he played fairy tale heroes, substituted for colleagues, and traveled to the capital on weekends and holidays. The artist went to performances or simply wandered along the old Moscow streets, catching himself envying all the residents of the capital who were lucky to live in the best city in the world.

Soon the actor had the opportunity to move from the provincial stage to the capital. The artistic director of the Moscow Theater in the South-West, Valery Belyakovich, came to the Penza Drama Theater. In Penza, the director staged a play in which Naumov was involved. And then it dawned on Alexander - either now, or unknown when. He lied to the artistic director that he was marrying a Muscovite, because registration remained the main obstacle to life in the capital. Belyakovich took Naumov to the troupe of the Theater in the South-West.

At first, the artist spent the night in the theater or huddled with friends: he did not have a fiancée in Moscow. Later, he rented a cramped apartment and felt like the master of the universe, enjoying the bustling life of the capital and working in the theater.

Actor Alexander Naumov
He played dozens of roles on stage, two thirds of them the main ones. In “The Seagull” he played Medvedenko, in “Dolls” he played Pygmalion, in “Hamlet” he played Rosencrantz, and in Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” he played Macduff. And in the play “The Master and Margarita” Naumov appeared in the role of Ivan Bezdomny.

Increased skill, audience success and 25 roles played inspired the artist, but did not bring him all-Union fame. His work in the play “At the Lower Depths” is especially dear to him. This production is one of the oldest in the theater. Here Alexander first embodied a dramatic image on stage. Until this point, he had appeared only in satirical roles.

The actor notes that the secret of the Theater in the South-West is the director's vision of its artistic director Valery Belyakovich. The director managed to find a non-standard solution even for the most famous plays. The troupe, formed around the artistic director, remained friendly even after his death: there was never any dispute about the roles in the creative team.

Children's destinies

In total, Alexander Naumov had six children. The greatest fame among the Russian emigration was achieved by his daughter Olga , who became a cartoonist. She became the author of more than a hundred caricatures of musicians, including Stravinsky, Rachmaninov, Prokofiev and others.

After a 14-year break, Naumov returned to the set. Now for a long time. In the late 1990s, he starred in episodes of the projects “Super Surgeon” and “Impostors,” and in the turning point 2000, he appeared in the series “24 Hours” and “Border. Taiga Romance" and "Maroseyka, 12". The actor did not chase the main characters and took on any offered role. The greatest success was brought by his work in the cult film “Brother-2”: Naumov played the head of the bank security service Khakin.

The actor got his debut leading role in 2002. In the dramatic film “The Eyes of Olga Korzh,” Alexander Nikolaevich appeared in the image of a courageous provincial investigator who solved the crime at the cost of his daughter’s life.

Alexander Naumov on the set of the film “Aquamarine”
One of the brightest projects of 2014 in the actor’s repertoire was the detective story “The Executioner” from a series of films about Major Cherkasov. Naumov appeared on the screen in the guise of a police captain. The brilliant cast of the series consisted of Andrei Smolyakov, Victoria Tolstoganova, and Yulia Peresild.

Alexander Nikolaevich assures that it does not matter to him what role to play - the main or episodic, negative or positive: the actor must easily transform into any character.

In 2021, the premiere of Alexei Popogrebsky’s historical melodrama “The Optimists” took place on the Rossiya-1 TV channel. This is a film about the life and work of Soviet diplomats in the 1960s. The main roles in the project went to Vladimir Vdovichenkov, Severiya Janusauskaite, Rinal Mukhametov and Anatoly Bely. The audience saw Naumov in the image of a general.

In the leading role, the artist appeared in the action-packed series “Major Sokolov: a game without rules” by Karen Zakharov. The series premiered in June 2021 on the NTV channel.

In a foreign land

In 1917, the Naumov family left for the Crimea to the Gurzuvitta estate. Alexander Nikolaevich sells his Samara mansion to the merchant Bashkirov. In November 1920, the Naumov family left Russia. Through Istanbul they get to the south of France, to Nice.

On the Cote d'Azur, Alexander Nikolaevich bought a house and named his new estate “Volga”:

“Volga, Volga - dear mother! My whole life has been connected with you since the cradle; I grew up and matured on you; in your open space I developed my strength and free soul; in your elements I tempered my character and drew reserves of energy and fearlessness!.. Without you, I was bored and sad, having become accustomed to always admiring you. The Simbirsk house is gone, I built a new one in Samara from your own Zhiguli stones so that again I can endlessly enjoy your endlessly enchanting element and life that is dear to me..."

In emigration, Alexander Nikolaevich and Anna Konstantinovna actively participated in the work of Russian cultural organizations. Alexander Nikolaevich headed the society for helping Russian students, and in 1925 he organized Russian language lessons in the French lyceums of Nice.

Alexander Naumov died on August 3, 1950 and was buried in the Russian cemetery in the city of Kokad.

Alexander Naumov now

In 2021, the sequel to the popular 1983 film “The Green Van. A completely different story." In the famous film, the main role, like 36 years ago, was played by Dmitry Kharatyan. Alexander Naumov reincarnated in this story as a state security officer.

Now the celebrity continues to expand her repertoire with new projects, including the films “Toy”, “Return”, “Aquamarine”, “Remember Yourself”.

Naumovsky house

A year after the wedding, Alexander Nikolaevich fell ill and went to Crimea for treatment. There he was visited by the Samara architect Alexander Shcherbachev: “Looking around the entire coast from Sevastopol to Alushta, we admired the most marvelous Alupka Palace, admiring its classical proportions, strict lines and masonry made of eternal diorite. We also liked a lot about the architectural style of the Foros Palace itself, built in the Italian Renaissance style. Shcherbachev, as I expected, came to life and was transformed. His pencil continued to draw boldly and talentedly. Of all the sketches, I settled on a sketch of a house in my favorite Italian Renaissance style with its beautiful columns, bold window lines, and cozy loggias.”

The family moved into the house at the end of September 1905 , just in the year of the first Russian Revolution.

Night demonstrations and strikes reached the point where an angry crowd broke into government offices and forced people to quit their jobs: “I turned into a person who tried in every possible way to resist the beginning of the political slide into the unknown, further concessions to revolutionary times and unbridled street bacchanalia, which almost entailed complete paralysis of the state life of the country. Circumstances forced me to urgently form a special political party from all the local strong and state-stable forces and take the lead as its leader in the rampant chaos.”

This is how his “Party of Order based on the Manifesto of October 17” , which over time acquired its own printed organ - the newspaper “Voice of Samara” .
