This Sunday, at the age of 48, the famous actor Dmitry Maryanov (“Above the Rainbow,” “Radio Day”) died. According to the latest data, the cause of the actor’s death was a detached blood clot. Maryanov died before reaching the hospital. PEOPLETALK expresses condolences to Dmitry’s family and friends and remembers all his beloved women.
Tatyana Skorokhodova (49)
Tanya was the actor’s first lover. They met when they studied together at the Shchukin School and lived in a dormitory for three years. Tatyana really wanted to marry him, but the couple eventually separated.

Now Skorokhodova is raising four children: sons Daniil and Darik and daughters Anya and Marika from her husband, cameraman Andrei Zakablukovsky.
Misfortunes haunted Dmitry Maryanov
Dmitry Maryanov's first serious romantic relationship began at the Shchukin School. His lover was the future star of the film “Nicknamed the Beast” Tatyana Skorokhodova. The romance lasted only three years. According to Maryanov, he was so worried about the breakup that he turned gray in just a week. Nevertheless, the former lovers managed to maintain a warm relationship and communicated right up until the spring of this year.

Before his death, Maryanov suffered from alcoholism

Then Maryanov became interested in model Olga Anosova. The woman not only starred in videos, but also studied at VGIK. In 1996, Olga gave Dmitry a son, who was named Daniil. However, Anosova never received a marriage proposal and broke up with Maryanov. Despite the breakup, the actor took care of his son and spared no money on him. It was Dmitry who paid for the boy’s studies at a prestigious school.
It is interesting that Maryanov remained on good terms with Anosova. “I will always be eternally grateful to Dima. He gave me the most important thing in life - a child. We have maintained very warm friendly relations. And we even consult with each other about our other halves,” Starhit quotes Olga as saying.
Then another model appeared in Maryanov’s life - the beautiful Evgenia Khirivskaya-Brik. Their relationship lasted for five years. As a result, the model and actress left Maryanov for director Valery Todorovsky, who did not delay formalizing the relationship, making it clear that he was more than serious.
Dmitry did not suffer from loneliness for long. Dancer Olga Silaenkova loomed on the actor’s horizon. The beauty accompanied Maryanov on all his trips. However, the same Anosova spoke extremely negatively about Silaenkova. “The girl was nothing of herself and, as soon as she had Dimka, she immediately sat on his neck. Stopped working. All she did was start a showdown,” said the actor’s ex-lover and mother of his son.

Apparently, Maryanov was not satisfied with this state of affairs and he broke up with Silaenkova. At that time, the actor was enthusiastically engaged in figure skating - Dmitry took part in the filming of the show “Ice Age”. His partner was the famous athlete Irina Lobacheva. At first there was no talk of any romance - Irina was having a hard time breaking up with her husband Ilya Averbukh. Maryanov consoled the skater. Gradually, friendly participation moved to a different plane. It got to the point that Maryanov brought Lobacheva to the set. For the first time in her life, she starred in the movie “My Obnoxious Grandfather.” By the way, during filming the relationship ended.

As the Komsomolskaya Pravda website competently reports, Maryanov had “marriage phobia.” “It’s hard to find a woman who can put up with our acting life. This is often filming at night, in other cities, a lot of fans, plus a lack of financial stability, various internal crises. What woman can stand this?” – the actor asked a rhetorical question. He later admitted that he was simply afraid of losing his “sexual licentiousness.”
Let us note that Maryanov was unlucky not only in relationships with women. The actor had accidents quite often. One day, Dmitry decided to demonstrate his heroic strength to the guests by doing push-ups at home on a wall bars - and it suddenly fell. Another time, with Olga Silaenkova, I went to dive into Lake Baikal in winter, and suddenly one and a half meters of ice cracked under them - they barely escaped. When I was relaxing with friends at the dacha, I decided to do a somersault into the water, but something went wrong and the actor broke his neck. Fortunately, friends quickly took him to the hospital. And during filming, Dmitry broke his arm, then he played out in a cast.
Everything changed when Maryanov met Ksenia Bik. The psychologist from Kharkov was 17 years younger than the actor and did not immediately succumb to his charms. In September 2015, Dmitry and Ksenia formalized their relationship. It soon became clear that the little daughter Anfisa, who was being raised by Ksenia, was not from a previous relationship, but from Dmitry. The family went out into the world and seemed ideal. It seemed that Dmitry Maryanov was finally happy...

Olga Anosova
This relationship gave Olga and Dmitry a son, Daniel (21). True, after the birth of a boy in 1996, Maryanov stopped spending the night at home, drank heavily, and Olga could not stand it - she kicked him out of the house and broke up with the actor. “I will always be eternally grateful to Dima. He gave me the most important thing in life - a child. We have maintained very warm friendly relations. And we even consult with each other about our other halves,” said Anosova.
Second civil marriage with Olga Anosova
After breaking up with Tatyana, Maryanov became interested in model Olga Anosova. After returning from France, the girl entered the famous Institute of Cinematography. Periodically, the student appeared in the videos of Dmitry Malikov and Linda.
Maryanov with his second common-law wife, Olga Anosova
In 1996, a son, Daniil Maryanov, was born. Olga was fully involved in raising the baby. Pregnancy and the birth of a son did not push Dmitry to get married. After a while, the girl could not stand the indifferent attitude towards herself and kicked her common-law spouse out of the house.
Evgenia Khirivskaya-Brik (36)
Maryanov’s third common-law wife was actress Evgenia Khirivskaya-Brik (“Hipsters,” “The Geographer Drank the Globe Away”).
They were together for five years (from 2001 to 2005), but in 2006 Evgenia met director Valery Todorovsky (55) and married him.
Further creative activity
In 2000, Maryanov took part in the filming of a melodramatic film directed by Tigran Keosayan called “The President and His Granddaughter.” Then he was bombarded with job offers, and in the same year he starred in several films at once:
- "Fighter".
- "Diary of a Murderer"
- “Rostov-papa”, etc.
Due to the fact that the actor is 1 m 79 cm tall, has a strong build with a stern, but at the same time open face, a certain type quickly became assigned to him. In most cases, Dmitry's heroes are strong people, regardless of profession.
In the multi-part film “Students,” Maryanov appeared in the image of teacher Igor Artemyev. The artist’s character is not only a kind and sympathetic teacher, but also a modern, handsome man who rides a motorcycle to work.
After Maryanov became popular, they began to offer him mainly leading roles in films. Some works with his participation:
- "Obsessed."
- "Fathers" etc.
In 2012, Dmitry participated in the filming of the multi-part film “Cordon of Investigator Savelyev”, where he appeared in the image of the Ministry of Internal Affairs officer indicated in the title. The following people worked with him on the same set:
- Yuri Belyaev.
- Ada Rogovtseva.
- Nonna Grishaeva.
- Lyubov Tolkalina.
Then in 2015 he appeared in the comedy melodramatic film “Call Husband”. A year later, the actor took part in an experimental production called “Unreal Show”. It is noteworthy that only Dmitry Maryanov and Lyubov Tolkalina were heroes. According to the plot, the action takes place in a small area, which is limited by the faces of the cube.
The audience was delighted with the performance of the actors, who, without props or any complex decorations, easily held the attention of the audience. However, some theater critics were not happy. In addition, in the same year, Maryanov’s filmography was replenished with several works. In the summer of 2021, the premiere screening of the multi-part film “Bouncer” took place, and viewers saw the two-part film “Hacking” only at the beginning of 2021.
The last work in the life of the talented artist was the melodramatic film “Yellow Brick Road.” Maryanov played the role of a driver in a rich family. The child of the main characters was born as a result of in vitro fertilization. According to the scenario, only 2 people know that the biomaterial was mixed up in the medical institution, and the boy’s natural father is a simple driver.
Irina Lobacheva
In 2009, Dmitry participated in the Ice Age program - it was there that he met his fifth common-law wife, Irina Lobacheva (44).
Ira was then going through a breakup with Ilya Averbukh (43) (they were together from 1995 to 2007), and Maryanov very conveniently stayed close: at first they were just friends, and then they began an affair.
Dmitry Maryanov: “I don’t want to lose the woman who is next to me”
For publications that talk about the personal lives of celebrities, Dmitry Maryanov is a real newsmaker. Before they have time to discuss one of his high-profile novels, another begins. The actor himself, as a rule, does not give any comments, so a huge amount of gossip arises around his person. After breaking up with Irina Lobacheva, Dmitry began going out with a pretty blonde named Ksenia. And, as he admitted, this time everything is serious.
He used to say this: “I’m single. It is difficult to find a woman who will tolerate her actor husband without complaint. And a husband-actor means night shooting, uncontrollable fans, and sometimes a creative crisis can occur, which goes hand in hand with a material crisis... Only a woman can withstand all this - my acting destiny.” Dmitry's first true love is a classmate at the Shchukin School, Tatyana Skorokhodova, a beauty with whom everyone was in love. It is surprising that among her fans she chose Maryanov, who was two years younger than her and at that time could not boast of either fame or financial wealth. Their student civil marriage never turned into an official one. After the breakup, Tatyana left for her native Irkutsk, got married and gave birth to three children... Maryanov’s other serious hobby is former fashion model Olga Anosova. They met when the girl entered the directing department of VGIK. This relationship lasted several years. Olga gave birth to a son, Danila, but the flighty actor was again unprepared for the role of an exemplary family man. The couple broke up, however, Olga never interfered with Dmitry’s communication with her son. He also earned the reputation of a ladies' man, changing women like gloves. Among his mistresses were Evgenia Khirivskaya (current wife of Valery Todorovsky), dancer Olga Silaenkova, figure skater Irina Lobacheva. The actor met Ira on the set of Ice Age; their relationship lasted more than two years. The press even started talking about a wedding, but this time things didn’t work out. Irina told in an interview how difficult it is to meet a person suitable for family life, and Dmitry began a new romance... Your fans write on the site: thank you for the male images created in the movies - strong, self-confident and sensual. Are these still images or do you put part of your nature into them? Dmitry Maryanov : “I think it’s fifty-fifty. In some life situations I am downright proud of myself, but in others I understand that I acted like a real weakling. And it also happens: I wanted to help, to sincerely do a good deed, but from the outside it is seen as weakness.” Do you agree with the classic: “The less we love a woman, the easier it is for her to like us”? Dmitry : “Zhvanetsky said this?” No, Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin. Dmitry: “And then Zhvanetsky also said: “The less woman we have, the more she is less for us.” The less we love, the easier it is to please? I can’t say that this is an axiom. I think each situation dictates its own principles of action. I recently read a story by Averchenko - where one man asked another for advice on how to achieve reciprocity from his chosen one. And he said that certain seven points must be consistently fulfilled - and then “the fortress will fall.” I just didn’t mention the last point. A very funny story and tragic. There is no formula for love." Have you ever had to make an effort to win a woman? Dmitry: “In different ways. It also happened that it came into my own hands, and sometimes I struggled.” How long did your longest courtship last? Dmitry: “I remember one newspaper wrote a rather disgusting article that Maryanov changes his mistresses every three years. Like, he’s not enough for a long-term relationship. Once upon a time it really was three years, once upon a time it was more.” Are there any topics you avoid in interviews? Dmitry: “For me, the degree of frankness depends on smart questions and comfortable communication with the interlocutor. It happens that a journalist comes and says: in one interview you told how you jumped with a parachute... Yes, that’s it, I already said that. Ask me something new, then I’ll be interested.” By the way, Frederic Beigbeder wrote about three years - they say, that’s how long love lasts. Dmitry: “I don’t think that’s true. I have before my eyes the example of my parents - they lived together for forty-two years. Unfortunately, my mother has been gone for six years now, but my dad and I often remember her. And I remember how they lived - soul to soul. Three years is probably a period of getting used to, adapting to each other. There is such a period, but it does not apply to love, these are simply physiological, social, everyday habits: for example, someone does not close the tube with toothpaste. But three years is not a test of love. If this is really a real feeling, people don’t break up even after.”
“I’m still not married: I was afraid of losing my freedom.
But in fact, I didn’t want to lose my sexual unbridledness.” Photo: Sergey Ivanov. Are you an amorous person? Dmitry: “I used to be. Everything is different now. I've been uninterested in fucking anything that moves for a long time now. I think it was Brad Pitt who said: “If you already have a woman, another one appears and you have a choice - who to prefer, choose the second one right away. If you loved the first one, you wouldn’t even notice the second one.” Nice phrase. Previously, yes, I kept looking around, but now I realized that, firstly, because of my own frivolity, I was losing the good things that were in my life. I just stupidly wanted to sleep with someone, and because of this, the person who was next to me stopped trusting me. The relationship collapsed. And again a long search begins, which does not always end successfully. And secondly, I wasted time that could have been spent on a happy life together.” Did you have so-called marriage phobia? Dmitry: “Of course. That's why I still haven't gotten married. It's not even about the stamp in the passport. There is such a stupid concept - the fear of losing freedom. What was it really about? I was afraid of losing my sexual licentiousness. The worst thing is to start telling the truth to yourself. Man is a cunning creature. He is capable of justifying himself in any case. I can tell you any beautiful words about myself now, and you will believe me. And you won’t fool yourself - you know exactly where you’re lying. Not long ago there was an episode that I hate to remember. It was already late, I was in a hurry to meet my friends. A woman stood on a deserted road, voting. The road was straight, I could easily give her a lift. But I wanted to get to the place as quickly as possible and did not stop. Then, having already passed by, he began to scold himself: “Dima, what are you doing, you’re ashamed!” Did you want to quickly eat a barbecue, drink a glass of wine? “And then instantly I found an excuse for myself - that I could have gotten into a traffic jam, that people were waiting for me. There is no way to say honestly: “Admit that you are a brute, you are just lazy.” Talking to yourself is very useful; you begin to learn a lot of interesting things about yourself and your loved one.” You will soon be releasing a film called “Game of Truth.” Was it he who made you reconsider your outlook on life? Dmitry: “And before that, I played in the play of the same name for six years. This was our version of the French play by Philippe Lelouch. We wrote all the dialogues ourselves: me, Vitya Shamirov, Kostya Yushkevich, Gosha Kutsenko. There is little left of the original. The humor and mentality of the French are very different from ours. Perhaps playing in this performance became a kind of external impetus for me to begin to communicate more with myself. But nevertheless, life circumstances led to the need for such a heart-to-heart conversation.” (The storyline is as follows: three former classmates meet many years later in order to compete for the heart of the one and only they once loved. - Author's note.) Apparently, due to the fact that the performance turned out to be successful, a and the idea for a film version? Dmitry: “At first, the French decided to make a film adaptation of Lelouch’s play. And they didn’t give us the rights for a long time. But then they still agreed. We redid everything. In my opinion, our version turned out to be sharper, more touching and sincere. I saw the audience's reaction. The most difficult thing was to switch from stage to cinematic state. This brought Vitya (director Viktor Shamirov. - Author's note) into an excited state, he got excited and shouted: “Is it really impossible to understand basic things?!” But in our case, in six years, a lot has reached the point of automatism. And now it was necessary to remove six years of playing experience and say the same phrase in a different way. I was the first of the guys to get nineteen takes. I just couldn’t get the moment where I said: “Maya, how I liked her!” And about the kiss - something just didn’t gel there. Some scenes had to be completely removed and dialogue cut down. Like an incandescent light bulb: when you hit it, it shines brighter. The same cleaning took place, a lot of things were corrected in my character, although I still transferred some things from the stage to the screen. Let's see what happens. All my friends who watched the performance say that in any case they will come to the cinema to compare.” Have you already seen the final result? Dmitry: “No. All this is very exciting... I can honestly say, without grimacing: when I watch my films for the first time, I do it like this - with my eyes closed, through my fingers. I immediately don’t like everything at all. I’m sitting and self-criticizing: I could have played brighter here, come up with some other expressive detail. But here I was clearly tired, I had to rest, ask the director to take a break. And I was probably in a hurry to go home. I see that I’m deceiving myself? But then, as time passes, everything changes; I even enjoy watching some of my films.” Is it true that you chose your characters in the play, and then in the film, according to the lottery principle - by drawing matches? Dmitry: “True. You chose it - so love it. (Laughs.) When we started working on the script, we didn’t yet know how we would write out the characters. The only thing is that my hero was noted as a financially wealthy person. So everything was invented along the way. The monologue about the dog turned out to be very funny. We agreed that we would get together for rehearsals and write. And I was an hour and a half late due to the registration of the housing transaction. I came, everyone was sitting with terribly dissatisfied faces. I said: “Guys, sorry, it’s not every day that I buy an apartment for myself.” They: “Okay, let’s go.” But in the hour and a half of my absence they managed to compose this huge monologue for me - in order to give me a large amount of text and I hesitated to learn it. The team is kind. (Laughs.) Here’s another example of a friendly joke. I haven't eaten meat for over twenty years. Because of this, we always had chicken on the table during filming. I don’t know what happened to me over the past few months, but now I just can’t see the chicken. Just this word gives me a gag reflex. And what are these bastards doing? According to the script, Kostya Yushkevich stands with a dish of chicken, I move further and further away from him. Then I deliberately go out onto the balcony, because I’m already sick from this smell, and he follows me. And Gosha Kutsenko begins to tear the bird with his teeth with appetite.” Your hero is the most successful of the trio... Dmitry: “He is financially successful. But in reality he is a tragic character. Outwardly he strives to show that everything comes easy to him. Covers himself with bravado: “Wife?” Fuck her!“ She goes to taverns, picks up prostitutes and drowns in alcohol the pain and fear that life has failed. He wants to live in such a way as not to cheat on his wife. He wants to be happy in love, but he can’t. Or there is not enough strength. But in the end, he still comes to the conclusion that he needs to work on himself.”
“In some life situations I am downright proud of myself, but in others I understand that I acted like a real weakling.”
Photo: Gennady Avrvmenko. Is he close to you internally? Dmitry: “At times. Everything we wrote with the guys happened to us ourselves in one way or another. These are situations from our lives that we distributed among the heroes. That's why they turned out to be so truthful. The story about the cross that a woman took off when she fell in love with another man is real. The man who was betrayed is me. It was a long time ago. We simply gave this plot to Kostya Yushkevich’s character because it suited him better.” All three friends are in love with the heroine Irina Apeksimova, the first beauty of the course. Your beloved woman, Tatyana Skorokhodova, was the same... Dmitry : “Yes, nevertheless, I managed to win her. Of course, certain analogies arise. Each of us talked about the love that he once had. Inventing something is not very profitable when the idea is to show all the sincerity of your character. And you remember how it happened to you, how you worried, suffered. After breaking up with Tanya, I turned gray within a week. Naturally, all the bangs became gray.” Why did you break up? Dmitry: “When people break up, both are always to blame: it was both my fault and partly hers. But, in general, everything happened quite painfully. My friends and classmates who came to the performance admitted that they also had a nagging feeling of nostalgia for the years they had lived, for something unfinished. I wanted to smooth out the memories of some events in my head.” Don’t you think that the idea of the film has something in common with the film “What Men Talk About”? Dmitry: “We staged a play. And they were the first to make a movie. I saw What Men Talk About and liked it. Probably, the idea, as they say, was in the air. After all, we get together with friends in the same way, discuss life, politics, women.” So you also have a warm company in which you can have intimate conversations? Dmitry: “Yes, I have childhood friends. Me, Rodion Beletsky, Yura Bobrov lived in the same yard, only in different entrances. Then we studied together at theater school, then joined the army. And now we communicate, remembering some events from our past.” Are you “playing truth” with them? Dmitry: “As Gosha Kutsenko’s character said, “Don’t, it can be very dangerous.” (Laughs.) They say that you had a certain agreement with friends: when a woman appears in your life who begins to manipulate you, a friend is obliged to point this out... Dmitry: “Yes, it’s true. Misha Shevchuk (actor, director - author's note) and I concluded such a “pact” a long time ago. And that was right. When we are in love, we cease to adequately perceive ourselves and our actions, we do not notice the changes that happen to us, and sometimes this can lead to sad consequences. But from the outside, as they say, you know better. My dad sometimes tells me: “Dima, don’t do that, don’t.” And How? Dmitry: “It helps.” Have you had a midlife crisis? Dmitry: “Yes, a specific depression. I haven’t achieved anything, I have no family, I broke up with my beloved again, I need to look for someone. Now I am gradually getting out of this state. Became smarter and wiser. And I understand that I don’t want to lose the woman who is next to me.” Are you talking about Ksenia? Dmitry: “Yes. She is from Kharkov, a psychologist by training, defending her dissertation. Now we are talking about the truth with her. (Laughs.) But, probably, you don’t always need to reveal the details of your past. It’s better, of course, not to do anything reprehensible, so that you don’t have to lie later.” When, at what point did you realize that you needed to settle down? You had so many bright stories... Dmitry : “I haven’t fully understood this yet, but I’m getting there. (Laughs.) I told you: I myself, through my stupidity, lost what I created. Now Ksenia and I are together, we feel good. She helps me in many ways. The profession of a psychologist is closely related to the acting profession. There are such concepts as “psychological gesture”, “motivation of actions”, “analysis of scenes”. Not long ago, Ksenia was present on the set. According to the script, I fought with a maniac. She looked at everything carefully and said: “Dima, a maniac will not attack so emotionally and aggressively. He will kill calmly, coldly and calculatingly, because he has done this many times already and is confident that he is right. He doesn’t see you as a person, but as a piece of meat.” Ksenia explained this to me from a psychological point of view. I told the director about this, and he agreed: “A very interesting remark.” We fixed this scene together." Did she love you for your human qualities or did the fact that you are a famous actor play a role? Dmitry: “She admitted that at first she didn’t want to get to know me at all, precisely because I was an actor, a public person.”
Gentlemen prefer blondes.
Our hero met Irina Lobacheva on the set of an ice show and was fascinated by her. Photo: PhotoXPress.ru. Besides, you have a reputation as a fickle person... Dmitry: “Well, yes, yes... She leaves Moscow for a long time and says: “Somehow I don’t feel comfortable leaving you.” And I understand her. Leaving me alone for ten days is fraught. Initially, out of habit, I tried to look to the left. And then he began to stop himself: “What? Are you stepping on the same rake again?!” Now I reassure Ksenia: “I have no desire to cheat on you and thereby ruin our relationship.” Do you have a feeling that Ksenia is the woman with whom you can live the rest of your life, raise and raise children? Dmitry: “Let me answer this question in the presence of Ksenia, because the answer depends not only on me and my desires.” Has this relationship changed you? Dmitry: “Yes. Friends tell me: “Dima, when Ksenia comes, you become different.” I’m less explosive, nervous, twitchy, that’s for sure.” And you want to love the whole world and do good deeds? Dmitry: “I want to create a shelter for homeless animals. I understand that there are people who are in need, there are sick children, but many people help them anyway. I feel sorry for animals because they cannot protect themselves from anger and aggression. My brother and I found our first cat under layers of roofing felt that covered the roof. We heard meowing and found a cute calico kitten, black, ginger and white. They took it home. This cat lived with us for a long time. And then we always had pets. Now dad has a cat, I have a parrot.” What is your idea of an ideal family? Dmitry: “I just finished watching the Godfather trilogy just yesterday.” Horror. The final shot is stunning. Hollywood went deaf from Al Pacino's silent scream when his daughter was killed. He destroyed everything himself. But he could also create it. Some people say that family is the most important thing in life, while others think it’s work or business. We need to find a middle ground. I have always admired Gerard Depardieu, who at one point told his agent: “Leave me alone for a year!” And he went on a trip around the world. He is a celebrity, he has achieved everything himself, he has the means to support himself and his family. But I'm jealous. I would like that too.” On a trip around the world? Dmitry: “Yeah!” You are a biker. Ivan Okhlobystin said that he stopped racing motorcycles after the birth of his third child... Dmitry: “Well, maybe I’ll quit after the birth of my third. A psychologist will tell you that everything is interconnected. My whole lifestyle, being a biker, meant one thing - that I was afraid of responsibility and hid behind beautiful words about inner freedom. I got on a motorcycle and drove away from my problems. But in fact, nothing has changed, only the place of conversation with oneself has changed. And what difference does it make where in the end you have to do it: at home in Moscow or in a motel near Moscow? If you talk to yourself more often, maybe you won’t even need a motorcycle.” Are you a picky person at home? Dmitry: “If I live with one woman for a long time, then I start to find fault: I need lunch, and ironed shirts, and order in the house. And if I’m alone, the housekeeper comes to me, and there are three paths along my floor among the dust: from the corridor to the kitchen, to the bedroom and the toilet. (Laughs.) Although when I made renovations in the new apartment, none of the guests remained indifferent to what happened.” With your own hands? Dmitry: “No. But I financed it. The apartment looks amazing: stone, wood, copper, bronze and brass. Italy of the 30s. This design was given to me by a close friend for my birthday. Igor Severtsev is a very good designer. I even have copper pans and pots that I use and clean them myself.” By the way, you said that you haven’t eaten meat for many years. What is this connected with? Dmitry: “Yes, I haven’t eaten meat for twenty years, only chicken and turkey. Here is how it was. I kept the post. Then on Easter I ate a piece of pork and I felt sick. After that I couldn't look at meat at all. But now I’m more accepting of it.” If you could have your youth back, what would you do differently? Dmitry: “I would probably quit smoking. I am more than happy with what is happening to me now. I am grateful to those women who loved me, to those people whom I met. I don’t regret anything, it’s good that it all happened.”
