According to Lyudmila Abramova, her grandmother “knew the abyss of poetry by heart.” When the family lived in evacuation near Perm during the war, she recited poems by Nikolai Gumilyov and Anna Akhmatova to little Lucy. The brother and sister of Lyubov Borisovna knew the great poetess. A creative atmosphere reigned in the Abramov house, although the parents moved in the scientific world. Lyudmila’s admission to VGIK was accepted by her relatives with restrained joy - her parents dreamed that their daughter would stand confidently on her feet and receive a good specialty.

Movie
Abramova’s biography in cinema began as a student. Lyudmila was lucky because she immediately got the main role in her first film. The viewer learned about drugs, about Vysotsky, about how the passengers of the liner behaved in a difficult situation. After a short break, Abramova returned to her profession, but the film in which Lyudmila starred was banned from showing for a long time. After that there was one small and two episodic roles.

Lyudmila Abramova - biography
Lyudmila Vladimirovna was born in 1939 in Moscow into an intelligent family of Soviet scientists. And although the parents belonged to the scientific world, a creative atmosphere filled with music and poetry always reigned in their homes.
After graduating from school, the girl decided to become an actress and entered VGIK, where she studied in the workshop of Mikhail Romm, and her classmates were Vasily Shukshin, Igor Yasulovich, Andrei Tarkovsky and Andron Konchalovsky.
Lyudmila began acting in films during her student years, and she was immediately offered the main role in the adventure drama “713 Requests Landing.” This film was called the first Soviet disaster film and made an indelible impression on viewers. On the set of this film, the girl met Vladimir Vysotsky, who played one of the leading roles here.
She graduated from university in 1963, but marriage and motherhood did not give her the opportunity to continue her career, and only in 1966 she appeared on screen again in the film “Eastern Corridor.” In 1969, the actress played a small role in the film “I Can’t Live Without You, Juste,” and a few years later she played cameo roles in the films “Red Black Soil” and “The Middle of Life.” This was the end of her participation in feature films, and in the future she appeared only in documentaries, mainly dedicated to Vladimir Vysotsky.

In 1989, the Moscow City Council, on behalf of the USSR Council of Ministers, created a directorate for the creation of a cultural center-museum of Vladimir Vysotsky, which Abramova joined as artistic director, and after the museum was opened, she began working there as a guide.
In the early 90s, Abramova’s memoirs were published, in which she talked about the great bard and her ex-husband, entitled “Facts of His Biography,” and in 2012 she compiled and published a posthumous collection of works by her close friend, the writer Dina Kalinovskaya.
Lyudmila Abramova - personal life
As we have already said, Abramova met Vysotsky on the set, and soon he proposed marriage to her, although he did not hide the fact that he was currently married to actress Isolda Zhukova.
By the way, neither Lyudmila’s parents nor Vysotsky’s mother were delighted with the couple’s decision to get married. Lyuda’s parents did not like the fact that the young man was unemployed for a long time, often drank, and, moreover, was married, and his mother categorically stated that “they don’t marry from a living wife.” Nevertheless, the young people began to live together, and soon Abramova’s children were born - Arkady Vysotsky? and Nikita Vysotsky? in 1962 and 1964, respectively, and only in 1965 did the couple officially register their relationship.
And in 1967, family happiness came to an end. Vysotsky met Marina Vladi and fell in love with her, and Lyudmila was, of course, the last to know about this, although there had already been a lot of talk about this novel. Seeing how her husband was literally torn between the woman he loved and his family, she herself decided to let him go. Vysotsky bought an apartment for her mother, and renovated the one that was vacant and left it to his wife and children. The divorce took place in 1970, but even after the separation the bard continued to help his family.

A few years later, Lyudmila married a second time to engineer Yuri Ovcharenko, and in 1973 gave birth to a daughter, Seraphima. But even after her new marriage, her ex-husband did not stop communicating with her and her sons, and treated her daughter very warmly.
Vladi Abramova first met Marina at the funeral of the great poet, since they were both present at the funeral ceremony. Vysotsky’s sons bore their mother’s surname until they came of age, and only when receiving passports did they take their father’s surname.

Second marriage
It is difficult to condemn Lyudmila for her actions, but she remarried. She chose Yuri Ovcharenko, an engineer by training, as her husband, with whom she gave birth to a daughter, Seraphim. Vysotsky did not abandon his ex-wife at this moment either. Only after his death at Vysotsky’s funeral did both wives of the bard experience grief together, sitting next to each other at the farewell ceremony. Abramova’s second husband is Yuri Ovcharenko After the death of Vladimir Semenovich, there were many rumors about his love affairs and illegitimate daughter.

Igor Duel, Lyudmila Abramova's first lover
In the young biography of the “correct” beauty Lucy Abramova there were not entirely ideal pages. In the 10th grade, the girl left home and dropped out of school. She received her education at a school for working youth, while simultaneously working as a laboratory assistant at the Moscow Art Theater. While renting a room, she carefully looked closely at the landlady’s son. And when the young lady turned 18, the couple got married. However, as it turned out later, this was just a legend invented by the romantically enthusiastic Lyudmila. The young people simply met on the street, and each lived at home.
Young Lyudmila Abramova
It is worth mentioning that in her youth Lyudmila Abramova was a delightful beauty, for whose attention all the men around her fought. And it cannot be said that the first love of the future actress Lucy and the future writer Igor was crazy.
It was not his personal charm that captivated me; I really liked the bohemian atmosphere of the literary and artistic environment into which he introduced me. I was a romantic girl and from the words “poet”, “artist”, “director” then I immediately began to feel like I was present at the creation of the world.
The couple’s separation occurred against the backdrop of Igor Ilyich’s creative two-year business trip to the Far East. After the official divorce in 1962, the former spouses no longer communicated.

Still from the film “Midlife”
The youngest son of the famous poet and musician, Nikita (08/08/1964), currently holds the post of director of the Vysotsky Memory Museum. Initially, actress Lyudmila Abramova, whose biography is of interest to the public, agreed to this position. But she could not cope with the unrest occurring on the territory of the museum, consisting of drunkenness and theft. After all, the people who initially came to the house in memory of Vysotsky did not seek to improve the premises and make it a cultural attraction.
All they did was drink alcohol, play the poet's songs at full volume, and steal the originals of his photographs. Unable to fight the current situation, Abramova gave up and let the development of the museum take its course. She couldn't stand the ugliness that was happening in a place that was supposed to attract people, not repel them.

Then, thanks to help from the state, fans and friends of Vysotsky, he made a modern renovation of the premises. The transformed museum began to be replenished with new exhibits and personal belongings belonging to Vladimir Semenovich.
