The star of the films “American Daughter”, “Mother” and “Thief” Vladimir Mashkov evokes enthusiastic sighs from fans. He is recognized as the sexiest and most charismatic actor in Russian cinema. And in terms of skill level, few can be placed next to this brilliant artist. His genuine, tough masculinity and strong-willed character leaves a lasting impression on women. It is not surprising that the artist had many affairs.
Already in the tenth grade, a string of fans followed a handsome boy with a guitar. And Mashkov himself openly admits that he always wanted to be the first and the winner in everything. But behind his powerful masculine pressure lies a tender and vulnerable heart, capable of faithful and sincere love. “Love has so many faces! So much life! But you won’t find the formula for love - neither how to get it, nor how to say goodbye to it,” Mashkov said in one of his interviews.
Vladimir and Leon
At birth, Mashkov received two names at once - Vladimir and Leon, because his mother had Italian roots. Natalya Ivanovna worked as the chief director at the Novokuznetsk Puppet Theater, and the boy’s father was a puppeteer there. From a young age, Volodya plunged into the atmosphere of creativity, art, and theatrical acting. He went on tour with his parents, participated in crowd scenes, and mastered the basics of his future profession.
But at first Mashkov had no intention of connecting his life with the theater. After graduating from school, he entered the biology department of Novosibirsk University. Biology was his second passion. And yet the genes took their toll. A year later he became a student at the theater school in Novosibirsk. Here, an impressive guy won the hearts of young students, among whom was his future wife, Elena Shevchenko.
Oksana Shelest now
On March 12, 2021, Oleg Pavlovich Tabakov, People's Artist of Russia and founder of the Tabakerka Theater, passed away. In April 2021, Vladimir Mashkov, Oleg Pavlovich’s favorite student, was appointed the new artistic director of Tabakerka. In the article about the new artistic director, Oksana Shelest was again mentioned by the current wife.
Youthful passion
Mashkov began to court the young beauty. One day he came to visit his chosen one and the first thing he asked was to take a shower. For a guy living in a dorm, the shower problem was pressing. And then the father of a 19-year-old girl suddenly appeared. After seeing a naked guy in the bathroom, an indignant parent kicked him out. But this did not stop the lovers. They firmly decided to become husband and wife.
It must be said that Elena had the same hot-tempered and stubborn character as Mashkov himself. One day she came to his native Novokuznetsk, where Vladimir went to visit his parents. No one met the girl at the airport. But she, without any doubt, got into a taxi and went to the specified address late at night. And then she had to climb out the window to her beloved guy. Of course, two such temperamental people could not do without loud quarrels and passionate reconciliations.
Once, during a stormy showdown, Mashkov hit his wife in the face. Elena was just pregnant. She could not stand the insult and complained to the management of the theater school. Vladimir considered the act of his beloved woman to be a betrayal, packed his things and drove off to Moscow. Here the talented guy easily entered the Moscow Art Theater School. Elena remained in Novokuznetsk, and in due course gave birth to Mashkov’s daughter Masha.
But love still lived in the young woman's heart. She decided that she would enter GITIS and came to Mashkov in Moscow. But her husband by that time was already absorbed in the bustle of metropolitan life. He categorically refused to help his wife with admission. Two temperamental people were never able to get along on the same territory. Their marriage broke up. Today Elena Shevchenko has become quite a successful and sought-after actress. She even starred in the film “The Orphan of Kazan,” where Mashkov was the director. Time was able to pacify ardent passions, and now peace and harmony reign between the former spouses.
Biography
The public learned about the existence of a Ukrainian actress and model named Oksana Shelest only after this bright brunette with brown eyes appeared next to the star of “Liquidation,” actor Vladimir Mashkov.
Unfortunately, the biography of Oksana Shelest today is a lot of “blank spots”. Everywhere it is said that Shelest was born in a Ukrainian town, but it was never possible to find the name of the place. According to one source, Oksana’s year of birth is 1977, according to the second – 1979, according to the third – 1980. Shelest herself does not provide information on this matter. As for the girl’s birthday, the story is also silent about it.
Actress Oksana Shelest
The public's interest was aroused by Oksana's surname. A TV presenter with the same surname, Olga Shelest, is already shining in Russian show business. Rumors immediately spread that Oksana and Olga were sisters. But it soon became known that these girls were connected by only one surname.
Random connections
Meanwhile, Mashkov had a stormy romance with Alena Khovanskaya, a student of Oleg Tabakov. However, this marriage also turned out to be short-lived. Gossips said that Vladimir could not satisfy the love of one woman; the temperamental artist was looking for adventure on the side. But Alena did not want to share her husband with anyone. People close to the artist said that in Novosibirsk, where Mashkov often toured, he had two lovers at once.
Mashkov had a hard time parting with Alena, but not for long. A new friend was able to ease the pain of loss. Tatyana graduated from the Academy of Culture and met the famous artist at a film festival. The hardworking provincial woman became Mashkova's common-law wife. She quickly put things in order in his bachelor apartment, arranged his life and brought home comfort. But Tatyana could not cope with jealousy, “the monster with green eyes.” Soon they separated.
Marriage
Ksenia Terentyeva was born into the family of the famous film actress N. Terentyeva, but did not follow in her mother’s footsteps and received a specialty as a clothing designer.
At one time, Terentyeva worked as a journalist for NTV. Their acquaintance with Vladimir occurred at Kinotavr , when the girl asked the actor to give her an interview. Passionate and instantly falling in love, Mashkov was fascinated by the slender blonde.
Soon the loving couple got married in the Catholic Church. Ksenia supported Vladimir in everything. She prepared costumes for the theater troupe, and when Vladimir was invited to Hollywood, she helped him learn English.
The marriage seemed ideal, but in Hollywood, the flighty Mashkov became very interested in his partner, Oksana Shelest. Divorce from Ksenia was inevitable.
Soon after the breakup, Ksenia got married again . Unfortunately, the new marriage did not last long.
Now Ksenia collaborates with Oleg Tabakov’s theater and designs costumes for pop artists.
Catholic wedding
Mashkov met journalist Ksenia Terentyeva at Kinotavr. The girl interviewed the charming artist and could not resist his masculine pressure. A spark flashed between them, and it became clear that Mashkov was waiting for another marriage. This time the newlyweds were sure that they would live happily ever after.
The artist was of the Catholic faith, and for the sake of her loved one, Ksenia converted to Catholicism. Their wedding, which took place in the church, was solemn and beautiful. Ksenia became not only a wife, but also Mashkov’s faithful assistant. She designed costumes for his performances and taught English when Vladimir received an offer from Hollywood. However, their marriage, which seemed so prosperous to everyone, lasted only three years.
Who is Mashkov with now?
For a long time, Mashkov, who, by his own admission, had affairs with 15 thousand women, was not involved in long-term relationships.
In 2013, the press started talking about the resumption of Mashkov’s relationship with Ksenia Terentyeva . But the short-term romance never ended with a wedding.
It’s hard to say who Vladimir Mashkov is with now. He is credited with an affair with both A. Milshtein and the aspiring actress D. Kulida. The actor himself probably doesn’t know how long his “single” status will last.
Hollywood Wife
On the set of the Hollywood film “Let's do it quickly,” Mashkov met an actress of Ukrainian origin, Oksana Shelest. The girl amazed the Russian artist with her youth, beauty and ability to manage a household. After a year of living together, she finally said the cherished “yes” to “bearded Stallone,” as Mashkov was nicknamed in Hollywood. Oksana had a son from her first marriage, whom Vladimir accepted as his own.
And yet, the artist did not change his habits, and his American wife, who was 22 years younger than her chosen one, soon filed for divorce. After some time, rumors began to circulate that Mashkov was again dating his ex-wife Ksenia Terentyeva. Three years ago, Vladimir introduced his new lover Paulina Andreeva to the public. But a year later the girl left him for Fyodor Bondarchuk. So far, journalists do not know who has become the next passion of the main heartthrob of Russian cinema. But there is no doubt that very soon a new girl will appear next to Mashkov, madly in love with him.

Paulina Andreeva
The famous heartthrob could not resist the beauty of the young actress Paulina Andreeva. He helped her get into the staff of the Chekhov Moscow Art Theater, and later, on his recommendation, she was invited to the film “The Thaw.”
The lovers did not officially comment on their relationship and carefully tried to hide it, but their colleagues were able to expose them.
The affair ended in separation. Paulina treated the actor the same way he treated his ex-wives. The girl left him for a new love - Fyodor Bondarchuk.
Feeling Dangerous
Mashkov has a complex relationship with representatives of the “second oldest”. Everyone wants to interview him, they go to various lengths to do this, but the “grated kalach” is always on the alert with them. A journalist from Novosibirsk, Svetlana Bobrova, told the whole world unflattering details of sex with Vladimir. According to her, he is far from a gentle lover:
- He likes to do everything quickly: no petting, no kissing - he took off his pants, put on a condom, turned the girl backwards and... one or two - done! You won't even have time to feel anything.
One of the correspondents, who managed to interview Mashkov on the set of Alexei Uchitel’s “The Edge,” shared her impressions with the author of these lines:
“As soon as I saw him in the actor’s trailer on a very frosty morning, I immediately fell into a pool of brilliant eyes that looked like the eyes of a tiger. Out of habit it becomes scary. He kindly extended his hand and said: “I am Volodya.” He allowed me to turn on the recorder and answered questions. He was very polite and gallant. And after the interview, he suggested meeting in the evening in St. Petersburg, where he lived during filming, and talk in more detail. He had a difficult scene ahead of him that day, so he was in a hurry. Unfortunately, in the evening I was returning to Moscow on the Sapsan and was forced to cancel the meeting. But we still have an excellent relationship. You could say even friendly.
Almost every second media representative can boast that she “rejected Mashkov.” I personally believe in one of them—the intellectual blonde Anna V. I don’t rule out that my colleagues misunderstand the actor’s invitation to a cup of tea. Vladimir really loves to spend time in cafes and talk about philosophy, cinema, enjoying the taste and aroma of tea. By the way, he is not against drinking something stronger, but he knows when to stop. He was not noticed in drunken stupors.
“Drunken sex is not for Mashkov,” his exes assure him. — He prefers to make love, if not completely sober, then still with the awareness of who he is and who is with him.
