Vasily Pronin’s film “Cossacks” was filmed in Grozny, where Zinaida Kiriyenko was cast in the title role. At the same time, Arkady Raikin was on tour in Grozny, whose performance was simply impossible to miss. Zinaida went in the evening to meet a wonderful person, not yet knowing that she would meet the most important person in her life along the way. Valery Tarasevsky was also involved in the filming of the film as an extra, where young athletic boys were recruited. They met on the way to Raikin’s concert, exchanged a few phrases, and after the performance they calmly went their separate ways.

The young man was handsome and serious, but Zinaida soon forgot to think about him. But he could no longer forget about her. He began to simply appear in her field of vision. Either she will drop by the hotel to exchange a few words, then she will appear on the banks of the Terek, where she is resting between filming, or she will hand over some twigs that everyone forgot about during preparation. And the actress got used to him being around all the time. They began to walk together in the evenings, talking about everything in the world. Zinaida had no idea that her new friend was only 17 years old, he was so serious and wise in his thoughts about life and the future.

Kiriyenko now: what he does, how he lives

Since 2007, the actress has not acted in films, but still remains a media personality. The interest of journalists in her person has not faded; they periodically visit her and interview the Don Cossack woman.

About the age and weight loss of Andrei Chernyshov.

Kiriyenko periodically appears at film festivals, appears in documentaries, and often attends television shows as an invited guest.

Two weddings

The longer the actress talked with Valery, the more attracted she was to this young man. With his touching caring attitude, his restraint in expressing feelings. The only thing that bothered her was the big age difference. But then her mother came to her aid. When her daughter told her about her doubts, the wise mother only asked if she loved him. Mom, who had not known any special joy in love, sincerely wished her daughter simple female happiness. Ida, as the actress was called at home, made a fateful decision for herself: to be happy, not paying attention to the opinions of others. And she never regretted her choice.

During filming, the actress went to Moscow for several days, and upon her return she was placed in another hotel room. Old, uncomfortable, without renovation. Valery, seeing the squalor in which his beloved was forced to live, decisively took her from the hotel and brought her to his aunt. The young man's relatives treated her very cordially.

The first wedding took place in Valery’s grandmother’s house. A year later, when Valery turns 18, they will have another, now official, wedding. Soon their first son, Timur, will be born, and the young husband will go into the army, giving his military duty to the Motherland.

An amazing love story: Zinaida Kiriyenko and Valery Tarasevsky

Two weddings

Ida, as the actress was called at home, made a fateful decision for herself: to be happy, not paying attention to the opinions of others. And she never regretted her choice.

Woman's happiness

Zinaida was happy. Despite the fact that she had to work hard, taking on all the responsibilities for financial support for the family, she never complained. After difficult filming, a loving husband was waiting for her at home, tenderly caring for his wife. After the army, he completed his studies at the Faculty of Economics and was constantly busy with his son while his star wife was busy with work.

Of course, it was not without difficulties. Many people liked the beautiful Zinaida. However, she considered it unacceptable for herself, being married, to respond to the advances of fans. Another refusal of the actress to pay attention to a respectable official who liked her led to her being blacklisted as actresses. They stopped offering her leading roles and did not invite her to serious projects.

But no one ever heard her complaints. She did what she considered the only possible thing: she protected herself and her feelings from vulgarity and dirt. Zinaida Kiriyenko loved and respected her husband, not considering it possible even in her thoughts to deceive his trust and stain her feelings with betrayal. And at the same time, she never named the person who tried to ruin her career. She believed that only God could judge him.

Quiet house

Interrupting with minor roles, Zinaida Kiriyenko made money with concerts. No bureaucratic instructions could take away the people's love from her, and she invariably drew full halls wherever she performed.

And at home the same quiet happiness awaited her. In 1968, the couple had a second son, Maxim. Valery Tarasevsky turned out to be a wonderful father. He worked with children tirelessly, treated all their childhood illnesses, cooked them porridge, taught them to be men.

Perhaps Zinaida Kiriyenko’s husband did not reach special heights. But he managed to make his beloved woman happy, built a house, and raised wonderful sons. Zinaida Kiriyenko's colleagues and friends treated him with great respect. And Rimma Markova, who lived next door, even jokingly reproached him that she could not wait for him to leave for her, Rimma. Zinaida just smiled, listening to her friend’s complaints. She knew for sure: Valera was destined for her by fate, and you can’t escape fate.

Loneliness

They always felt good together, in their quiet, cozy home. There was amazing harmony in their relationship. There was no need to argue, prove, convince, because they understood each other perfectly. Zinaida Kiriyenko feels even more acutely the painful loneliness after the death of her husband. The children have grown up, they have their own families, not only grandchildren are growing up, but also great-grandchildren.

But still she desperately lacks the support, love and care of her husband, whose heart stopped beating too early. She sought solace in her work, but when she went on stage to read poetry, the actress could barely hold back her tears. Her wound has not yet healed. Probably because it was true love, without which it is almost impossible to live.

Zinaida Kiriyenko is a strong woman, she was able to come to terms with her pain and continue to live. For the sake of children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren. But she will never be able to forget her only love, her happiness - Valery Tarasevsky.
