The tragedy could not be avoided.
The film “The Incredible Adventures of Italians in Russia” made the star of the lion King. A dangerous predator lived right in the apartment of the Berberov family, and this did not lead to anything good.
Feeding the king of animals was not so easy, so when the family received a lucrative offer from filmmakers, they did not refuse the opportunity to earn money. But shooting in the project of Eldar Ryazanov cost the lion his life.
The film crew strictly followed the precautions, but one day King was left alone in the gym for a while. In the yard, the predator saw a passing guy. The beast immediately broke the glass and attacked the young man. The young man was saved by shooting the lion.
The eminent director did not like to remember this tragic episode, and the Berberovs subsequently brought in another lion, calling him the second King. But this story also ended in disaster. The predator attacked Nina Berberova, and her 14-year-old son immediately came to her aid, but died as a result.
