The real patronymic of the artistic director of the Sovremennik Theater Galina Borisovna Volchek – Berovna. About this fact, her biography was known only to the relatives and friends of the outstanding director.
As you know, Volchek is a purebred Jewess. Mother – screenwriter Vera Isaakovna Maimina. Father – director and cameraman Ber Izrailevich Volchek. Shortly before her death, Galina Volchek told in an interview with reporters that she never knew her Jewish grandparents. Moreover, her dad in his youth was Ber Volchek. At some point, the father of the celebrity changed his name – he became Boris. Accordingly, the daughter changed her middle name – she became Borisovna. Galina Volchek noted that she never hid her Jewish origin, the portal reports Dni.ru.
Note that Galina Volchek died on December 26 at the Botkin Hospital. She was delivered to the clinic a few days ago due to pneumonia. At the same time, on the eve of hospitalization, she was in a good mood. She was at a rehearsal in Sovremennik, but she felt bad at night. The media later reported that the star was in a coma. However, her relatives and friends did not confirm this information. They said that the artistic director of the theater would definitely recover. Unfortunately, this did not happen.
Note that at the time of Volchek’s death, the performance “Agony” was on the stage of Sovremennik. After that only actor Sergey Garmash could go out to the public. He told the audience the sad news. The whole audience applauded Volchek. Then silence reigned in the hall – a minute of silence was declared. We add that the director will be buried on December 29 at the Novodevichy cemetery.
