Refueling is expected in the family of their 44-year-old son Philip, also an actor. His second wife, Maria Bolonkina, will give birth in early December. Might Tatyana Grigorievna think she would be so rich! And even more, she will treat her grandchildren so reverently, because she really didn’t have enough time for the kids.

– Children, grandchildren – our wealth! I keep them, I take care of them. I’m used to everything that’s about me. I’m alone and I’ve never been able to count on anyone, – says the actress.
Note that she wasn’t always so sure of herself. At the age of 17, she Tatyana was so complex about her appearance and her high growth (176 cm) that she seriously thought about suicide.
Everything is in my journals. There was no one to complain to, so she was bubbling up inside me and tormenting me. I really thought I was going to hang myself, “says Vasilyeva.
Another cause for concern was the surname, about which peers joked badly. Tatyana received it from her father-Grigory Abramovich Itsykovich-a participant in the Great Patriotic War, who, after returning from the front, worked as an operator of milling machines at the plant.
When Tatiana was little, the family lived in Leningrad. In a communal apartment of forty apartments, located in a former brothel, the Itsykovichi could not make ends meet. On holidays they ate dryers with tea. But worse than poverty was the endless fear of being Jewish.
“Dad had a backpack assembled in the hallway,” recalls the actress. She-she reacted to every door call with the words: “They’ve come to get me!” When he went to the bakery, we said goodbye forever. Because they didn’t know if he was coming back or not. Once he came all bloody: in the courtyard someone hit him on the head.
“I don’t care anymore!”
After graduating from the Moscow Art Theater School, Tatyana Grigorievna got a job at the Satire Theater. There she was immediately made to understand that with the surname Itsykovich there is no future in her profession.
– They started to find different options, – shares the star. -Kovacs was (this is Itsykovich’s remnant), then-Bazo (the first part of her mother’s maiden name) … They thought, they thought, she finally married Anatoly Vasiliev and took her surname.
Vasilyeva served in Satire for 14 years. All these years, despite her stamp in her passport, she slept with the art director – “great and terrible” Valentin Pluchek. She was 38 years older than the artist. He is also married.
“You can’t resist this”, explained Vasilyeva in an interview with the journalist Irina Shikhman, author of the YouTube channel “How about talking?”. – You will not get anything for a talent for a long time. If you work for a director who allows you to play the lead role in every performance, how can you not thank this person ?! The husband knew. But never argued with him. Then he already admitted that he stopped under the windows of the theater and, when the lights in Pluchek’s office went out, he ran home. What to watch? Come and punch him in the face. The whole theater knew this. We had a great time with Valentin Nikolaevich. Caviar, candles … I lectured on art and wrote everything down. He was so learned!
Pluchek was not going to divorce. But he was jealous when Tatyana Grigorievna gave birth to a son, Philip, of Vasiliev. Even in the heat of the moment he blurted out: “An artist shouldn’t give birth. I don’t care anymore! “
– He was furious that the baby wasn’t from him, – sighs the actress. – I would get pregnant by Pluchek – I would give birth. It just couldn’t – the years are decent.
Relations with the artistic director fell through when Tatyana got married a second time – with satirist Georgy Martirosyan. This marriage also proved short-lived. Married Vasilyeva ran to Pluchek to beat good roles for her husband, but she was adamant. On one of her visits, the actress threatened to be fired. The offended art director signed her resignation letter.
By the way, according to the actress, allegedly during both marriages she cheated on her husbands with one person – a married businessman Arif Alekperov, who was a sponsor of the Satire Theater. On the Secret to a Million program, she claimed that he was the best man in her life than her.
“Who will get it all?”
So it ended up at the Mayakovsky Theater. Martirosyan was also accepted there. Everything was going as smoothly as possible. From the cultural institute, the couple received a four-room apartment in Taganka. Well earned. But in the 90s, intrigues began to intertwine against Vasilyeva. And in the end, he was fired under the article – for violating labor regulations.
– I had to go to St. Petersburg, to receive an award for the best female role in the comedy “There, then”, – says Tatyana Grigoryevna. -She warned everyone, but I was told: they say, we still do a show with your participation. Then they call St. Petersburg and ask, “From what day are you considered fired?” “From today,” I reply indifferently. The fact is that another actress was quickly introduced to my role, but my partner flatly refused to act with her and left. The show did not take place, and in the hall there were one and a half thousand spectators, so there were a full house in all of Mayakovka’s performances in Moscow. The troupe turned to the people and announced that it was Vasilyeva’s fault, that she did not fly to the show.
Today Tatyana Grigoryevna does not work in any academic theater. She the actress has become the “queen of the company” and she earns very well: she can afford not only a luxury car, but also an apartment.
– For grandchildren, – explains Vasilyeva. – Well, who will get it all? When they grow up, they should not be distracted by such nonsense. Let them work, have fun, and don’t bow down day and night to survive. If I still have the opportunity to help, why shouldn’t I?
