Lyudmila Khityaeva Glory Khityaeva brought the role of the Cossack Daria in the “Quiet Don” by Sergei Gerasimov. And then the bright images of the broken Solokha in “Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka” were added. At 92, a people’s artist anywhere. True, she had already left the theater and filming a movie. “Now who am I to play? The killer’s grandmother? Don’t want!” the star says.
Khityaeva considered her main achievement not at all brilliant roles, but her son.
“He is my planet, I am his Universe,” the actress said, and at her 90+ she easily rushed to her heir in Thailand, where Pavel worked at the Russian embassy.
On July 5 this year something terrible happened. 69-year-old Pavel Belokrinkin died. Mother’s grief knew no bounds. The day before, feeling something was wrong, she herself sent her son to the hospital. Pavel had heart problems, and fluid accumulated in his lungs. However, two days before his death, doctors discharged the son of a movie star, unable to find the source of the problem.
– This is Thailand’s fault, – the actress complained. – The climate is too hot there, hard for the cores …
Lyudmila Ivanovna had to endure a whole battle for her son’s place in the cemetery. She insisted that he be buried at Preobrazhensky, where his grandparents are buried. However, the graveyard is closed for new burials; burial can only be done on family plots.
“In the 90s, after the death of my father, I bought a plot in the cemetery, but it was a very narrow piece,” Khityaeva complained. – After my mother was also buried there, there was no place at all …
Somehow Pavel managed to fit in with his grandparents. Now Lyudmila Ivanovna has a new headache. The actress says that she would also like to rest in this cemetery. However, another grave will definitely not fit into a piece of land. By default, it is assumed that after her death, as a People’s Artist of the RSFSR, she will be buried at Troekurovsky. However, the star categorically does not want to lie there.
Novels with the young
Pavel Belokrinkin is her son from her first, student marriage. The boy was only one and a half years old when his mother broke up with his father, actor Alexander Belokrinkin. Then Khityaeva regretted this decision: she believed the informer in vain, and not her husband.
From the second spouse – the famous urologist Boris Yakobson – the star had two abortions in five years. The children were out of place, because the career was going uphill. But this union did not last long either: the couple broke up when the actress caught the missus in bed with her mistress. With a third man, stunt director Valery Leontiev, Khityaeva lived for 20 years in a civil marriage. The pop singer’s namesake adored children, but all Khityaeva’s attempts to have a child ended in failure: by that time she was well over 40. As a result, she herself left her beloved man to give him the opportunity to have heirs with another woman.

Despite her considerable age, Lyudmila Ivanovna had novels, and with young gentlemen. At 70, she met with 31-year-old Andrei, a performer of romances. The relationship had to be terminated due to the young man’s addiction to alcohol. On her 80th birthday, the star received a marriage proposal from another fan. But the wise Khityaeva rejected him. I realized that now it is better to live alone.
– I do not need anybody. Happy in itself and, apparently, has always strived for this independence. Therefore, none of my marriages survived, – Solokha reasoned.
The actress is survived by her granddaughter Masha, an economist, and her grandson Pasha, an artist-designer.
