But what happened next, even in a terrible dream she could not dream.
The history of the relationship between Lydia Fedoseyeva-Shukshina and Vasily Shukshina is reminiscent of a volcanic eruption and a roller coaster at the same time. They had everything – Vasily’s terrible binges, excellent relations with his mother-in-law, love without memory, jealousy, adoration of children, beatings, happiness, from which it took your breath away, and much more. But at the very beginning, the young Lydia from Leningrad could not even think that her fate would connect her with Vasily.
Everything she knew about him disgusted her, caused fear and disgust. After all, there were such talks about Shukshin that there could be no other reaction. Rude, drunken, jealous. Could easily beat a woman. And when Fedoseeva-Shukshina found out that he would become her partner on the set, her chagrin knew no bounds. She waited with horror and anxiety for the work to begin. But one night on the train changed everything once and for all.
They were on the train to the location where the shooting was to take place. And suddenly Vasily suddenly entered the compartment. Lydia at that time only sang “The viburnum is red, the viburnum has ripened,” and he unexpectedly easily picked up the song in unison. So she took him by the soul, that after they had a nightly conversation about everything in the world, shooting in the south and Shukshin’s return to another, who had a daughter from him. He rushed between them until Sofronova kicked him out. So he finally stayed with Fedoseeva-Shukshina, with whom he lived until his death.
