Young Zhenya Abdulova paid tribute to the memory of her famous father
On May 29, one of the most outstanding actors of Russian cinema, Alexander Abdulov, would have turned 60 years old. This year it is exactly five years since the People's Artist of the Russian Federation died of lung cancer. Today, despite the pouring rain, from the very morning, relatives, relatives, friends and admirers of his talent came to the actor’s grave and his monument at the Vagankovskoye cemetery in Moscow.
People brought large armfuls of flowers, among which the actor’s favorite yellow roses predominated, and warmly remembered the tragically deceased artist.
By noon, when, after a prolonged morning rain, the weather suddenly cleared and the sun came out, Abdulov’s relatives and friends began to arrive at the cemetery - those who had been with Alexander throughout his life in moments of joy and sadness.
Of course, Abudulov’s mother, 92-year-old Lyudmila Aleksandrovna, was the first to arrive. The woman was brought by relatives. All the time the old woman sat on the chair carefully prepared for her and peered into the face of her beloved Sasha, engraved on the monument.
Lyudmila Abdulova had a difficult fate - she had to outlive all her sons (following Alexander, his older brother Robert passed away a year and a half ago). The old woman, broken by grief and sadness, spoke with special trepidation and tears in her eyes about her son Sasha, who never forgot her, helped and cared for her all his life until the very last day of his life.
But the main thing at Abdulov’s memorial on the day of his anniversary was a six-year-old fair-haired girl - his own daughter Zhenechka. The girl came to the Vagankovskoye cemetery with her mother, Yulia Abdulova. Now Zhenya already understands who her dad was during his life, how he loved her and how the whole country grieved when he passed away five years ago. Zhenya went up to the monument, hugged her grandmother, and was silent. But a child is a child - soon the little girl was happily chatting and playing with her friend.
Abdulov's widow, Yulia, remained calm; after five years, she had already managed to get used to the pain of losing her husband. Yulia thanked everyone who came that day, and for a long time remembered how Abdulov valued his loved ones.
Each of her beloved husband’s friends bowed low at the monument to Alexander that day and expressed words of support to the actor’s mother and wife. In the front row were the closest ones: Leonid Yarmolnik - the one with whom Abdulov was calm, whom he trusted and with whom he was friends for many years. Producer Igor Krutoy arrived at the cemetery - Abdulov was also friends with him during his lifetime. Igor Yakovlevich arrived at the cemetery with several bouquets.
Two dozen people spent about forty minutes at Abdulov’s grave. And after the relatives left, a line of admirers of the talent reached out to the monument - each of them left flowers at the grave.
The granddaughter is the spitting image of her paternal grandmother, just a copy of her! And Yulia had to pay for her love for Abdulov with her relationship with her parents...
Alexander Abdulov is an icon of Soviet cinema. He starred in many films that eventually became cinema classics. Just look at “Carnival”, “An Ordinary Miracle”, “The Most Charming and Attractive”. He won the hearts of all women of that time.
In 2008, the beloved People's Artist Alexander Abdulov passed away. Here on Earth he has many loving and beloved people left. And among the closest ones are my mother, wife Yulia and daughter Zhenya. Julia became the actor’s last love, perhaps the strongest and brightest. To this day, his wife remembers Alexander Gavriilovich with constant tenderness and admiration.
His wife Yulia is raising the actor’s only daughter Zhenya – the girl is already 10 years old. Her father, a national artist, passed away nine years ago. And now Yulia Abdulova constantly remembers her husband: “The best and strongest! Darling! Thank God that they remember and love! I haven’t seen such strength as Sasha had among those around him”...
Sasha and Yulia met when they were flying in a common company to Kamchatka for fishing. Just like that, unromantic and even prosaic in some ways. And for the first date we flew to Odessa when Alexander had a break between filming in St. Petersburg and Moscow. They agreed in character and temperament - both passionate and open.
In Abdulov, Yulia found something that was not in her first husband. However, at the time of the first date she was still married. And then, without further ado, she packed her things and left. She had to pay dearly for her love: her parents did not immediately accept their daughter’s choice, her father did not even speak to her for several years.
They lived together for 4 happy years. Alexander Abdulov often arranged surprises for his wife: he would arrange a birthday party in a water park, or he would prepare some unusual gift. Julia herself admitted later that only next to him did she feel truly loved.
Julia remembers how they were examined in one of the clinics in Tel Aviv. Alexander Gavriilovich asked producer Alexander Oleinikov to bring him stewed meat and black bread from Russia, and then turned on the Lokomotiv-Spartak match in the ward.
When he saw that the players took to the field wearing T-shirts with his photo, he could not hold back his tears. He had six months to live when Zhenya was baptized. Many guests came and Abdulov said to his wife, taking a moment: “You are the little mistress of a big house.” Now the girl has become a real outlet for her mother; she devotes all her strength to her upbringing.
Yulia is both happy and sad to look at her daughter: “She is one hundred percent dad. Zhenya looks so much like Sasha! If you look at the photographs of Sasha and Zhenya, you can immediately see whose daughter it is.” Julia herself avoids parties and social life, and does not strive to arrange her personal life. She says that, if you look objectively, she will never meet another “real man” like her.
The incredibly popular Soviet cinema actor Alexander Abdulov played many memorable film roles. What was Alexander Abdulov like during his lifetime, what did the viewer remember about his biography and what was shrouded in mystery in his personal life.
Childhood
The future conqueror of women's hearts was born on May 29, 1953. His homeland was the city of Tobolsk, located in the Tyumen region. Alexander comes from a family of theatergoers. His father Gavriil Danilovich served as a director at the Tobolsk theater. Alexander's mother's name was Lyudmila Alexandrovna. She worked as a make-up artist in the same theater. Little Sasha had two older brothers, Robert and Vladimir.
Lyudmila Alexandrovna was her father's second wife. It so happened that in the post-war period, Gabriel’s first wife and his son from his first marriage disappeared without a trace. Alexander Gavriilovich never found out until the end of his days where and under what circumstances his paternal brother disappeared.
Alexander Abdulov made his debut in the theater when he was 5 years old. He performed superbly in a theatrical production at the Fergana Drama Theatre, where the family moved in 1956. Abdulov did not have any ambitions for an acting career. He was more interested in the sports field and at one time even received the title of candidate master of sports in fencing, which was useful in his future film career.
Sasha loved music very much, played the guitar and sang beautifully. He even invented a hobby for himself in the form of making guitars from scrap materials, which he did brilliantly. Abdulov Alexander was a true fan of the Beatles and performed their compositions on every corner. In his further biography and personal life, Abdulov’s restless character did not always bring him luck.
Abdulov grew up as a naughty child, a real rebel who did not fit into the framework of Soviet times. For this, he often got it from his older brothers. As a teenager, he constantly ran into trouble in the form of fights, litigation and other actions.
After graduating from school, Alexander made an attempt to enter the Shchepkin Theater School. But his attempt was unsuccessful. Arriving back in Fergana, the future actor entered the pedagogical institute at the physical education department.
Along with his studies, Alexander helped his father in the theater and this played a decisive role in his future career. A short period of time after entering the institute, the young man finally decided to try his hand at GITIS.
Career
The path of the aspiring actor was not easy. He was quite self-critical of himself and understood that he had a long and hard job ahead of him to take his place among the capital’s actors. Alexander, trying to somehow arrange his life and career, tried to earn money through physical hard work at the same time.
He did not have rented housing and had to live in dormitories and friends’ apartments. So far he has only been cast as an extra.
In 1975, a mentor appeared in the life of Alexander Abdulov, or rather in his biography, who lent him a helping hand. Forgetting about his personal life, the actor turned to his profession. The talented young man was noticed by Mark Zakharov. At his invitation, the future actor came to Lenkom, where he was given roles in various productions.
The Zakharov Theater became for Abdulov the light in the window that he so lacked. He played famous roles on the stage of this theater in “Juno and Avos”, “Barbarian and Heretic”, for the latter of which the artist received the prestigious “Crystal Turandot” award. Abdulov devoted many years of his life to his beloved theater, without which he could not live a full life.
In 1993, Alexander Abdulov began to engage in charity work. He organized certain events, the income from which was directed to good causes. With his help, the church, which was located next to the Lenkom Theater, was restored. The bulk of the proceeds from concerts organized by the actor went to orphanage funds.

The uniqueness of Alexander Abdulov in his creative biography was that he did not adhere to certain genres in his work. He was always and everywhere on top, no matter whether it was his personal life or work. He could successfully act both in historical films and comedies.
Abdulov was excellent at films of the detective and romantic genres. Alexander was also appreciated for the fact that he performed all the dangerous stunts on his own and in his career there were several prizes for his excellent work as a stuntman. He was very physically developed, which gave him an advantage among the actors.
Directing
During his short but eventful life, Alexander tried to become not only an actor, but also a director. His popular directorial work was a musical film based on the fairy tale "The Town Musicians of Bremen".
Personal life
The beautiful appearance of Alexander Abdulov, in whose biography the names of the most beautiful women were noted and whose personal life was always seething with emotions, was his calling card. The Soviet press wrote about Alexander’s various romances with women of different status.
In any relationship, stability is important, which the actor could not give to his women. He was born under the sign of Gemini and his dual nature, ardent character and eternal torment did not make him the most stable life partner.
His first love was called Tanya. Their relationship began in the 70s and the young passionate Abdulov could not become a worthy match for the girl. Their relationship was passionate, but short-lived. The girl was a dancer who, after breaking up with her boyfriend, went abroad. The actor tried to remain on good terms with all his former passions.
And all the romance of the film’s heroes smoothly flowed into real life. They became the most beautiful couple on television during the USSR. But not everything was so simple in the relationship between talented actors.
At the time of the beginning of her family life with Abdulov, Irina was pregnant by another man. The couple tried to keep this secret secret. Irina had a daughter, whom the couple named Ksenia. The actor raised the girl as his own, putting all his unspent paternal warmth into her. When Irina broke up with Alexander, he did not stop supporting his daughter. The couple lived together for 14 years, but were unable to maintain the family hearth due to Alexander’s love affairs and his fickle character.
Abdulov Alexander's next relationship in his biography appeared when he met a girl named Larisa. Personal life with Larisa Steinman was stormy. Their romance lasted two years, after which the loving artist decided to close the topic of their relationship.
For eight years, the People's Artist lived with ballerina Galina Lobanova. They built a country house together and went through all the difficulties with Alexander’s health. Their house was hospitable, where all the artist’s friends came. Living with Galina, Abdulov was bound by Alferov's oath before God
.
After breaking up with Galina, Abdulov, as in previous relationships, left the property to his wife. The actor himself lived wherever he had to during this period. The artist was very worried about leaving his wife, which affected his appearance and health.
The next actual wife of the actor was Yulia Meshina. She became an outlet for a man and an incentive for which life is worth living. Abdulov was already old, but fell in love with the girl like a boy. Julia left her husband for Alexander, who, after the divorce of his chosen one, flew to Odessa to pick her up. In 2006, the lovers got married without the presence of journalists and other strangers. In the spring of 2007, Julia gave the actor a daughter, whom the happy couple named Zhenya.
Death
At the age of 54, Alexander Abdulov underwent surgery due to a perforated ulcer. In his biography there was already a similar period of life, when his health condition crossed out his personal life. This time the artist’s body malfunctioned and almost immediately after the operation, Abdulov’s heart began to stop.
He was transferred to the intensive care unit, where he spent six days. There were no improvements during this time and it was decided to transfer the actor to the Moscow Cardiology Center. Such a move only worsened the artist’s condition and he had to be urgently transported to Israel.
Doctors diagnosed stage 4 lung cancer. Six months of protracted serious condition and unsuccessful treatment led to the actor’s death on the morning of January 3, 2008.
Abdulov died in the Bakulev Surgical Center. They said goodbye to the people's favorite in his native Lenkom, and the funeral of the people's artist took place at the Vagankovskoye cemetery.
Alexander Abdulov is an icon of Soviet cinema. He starred in films that are now considered classics and an example of what “was better before.” He has “An Ordinary Miracle”, “Carnival”, “The Most Charming and Attractive” and many others to his credit. A huge country went crazy for the tall, handsome man. Abdulov won recognition not only as a film actor, but also as a theater and voice actor, and as a director.
Alexander Gavrilovich Abdulov spent his childhood in a family of theatergoers. Abdulov's father, Gavrila Danilovich, worked as a director in Fergana, and his mother, Lyudmila Aleksandrovna, worked as a make-up artist. By nationality, Alexander is recorded everywhere as Russian, but most likely had Tatar roots.
Before Alexander, the mother gave birth to two boys, but did not want a third. When it became known that a boy would be born again, it was quite difficult to make a decision. Conscientious doctors dissuaded the woman, saying that she was carrying a girl under her heart. Whether it was a mistake or a deliberate deception, it doesn’t matter whether a boy was born.
For the first time, Alexander Gavriilovich touched art on the stage of a theater in Fergana, where his father brought him out from behind the scenes. The first experience in the creative biography of Alexander Abdulov took place in the play “Kremlin Chimes”. A very young heart captured a touching moment for the rest of its life. The memory of my father is perhaps the most beautiful of childhood memories. The main character of the Fergana Drama Theater raised his son’s love for drama, as if he was preaching the truth.
The acting path was predetermined by fate, but the active, inquisitive boy did not deliberately delve into the distant future. Little Abdulov was so involved in music and sports that in his free time he made guitars from improvised instruments. His idols were the Beatles. A loyal fan performed such compositions on homemade guitars that he became known among his peers as the “fifth Beatle.” Often he got it from his older brother, who always tried to persuade his younger “brother” to the right path. In order to tie the boy to the house, the elder brother cut off a piece of hair, hoping that the young man, having nothing better to do, would sit down to books.
Abdulov studied well, but he was always drawn to trouble: he broke a window, took part in a brawl, etc. Alexander Abdulov made his first achievements in sports, namely, fencing. Regular and persistent training made the talented guy a master of sports of the USSR. As a result, fencing came in handy in cinematography when the actor starred in the film “An Ordinary Miracle” without a stunt double. The family assumed that one of the sons would certainly repeat the fate of their parents and become an actor.
Following his father’s instructions, Alexander Abdulov attempted to enter the theater Sliver, however, he was refused. At the direction of his mother, he settled for a year at a pedagogical university, in the physical education department, so as not to fall into the army snare. In parallel with his studies, he worked on the stage of the theater where his father was.
Movies
A year later, Alexander Abdulov, as planned, again went to Moscow to try his luck. This time I entered GITIS under I.M. Raevsky. The older brothers also decided to become actors, but the attempt to enter was a failure. The eldest of the sons studied at the Petrochemical Institute named after. Gubkina. The middle one suffered a misfortune - he was found dead. The cause of death has not been established. The main version was that he was killed by hooligans.
The career of Alexander Abdulov, like all provincials, was not easy. He compared himself to a mongrel who set out to conquer Moscow. During the 13 years he lived in Moscow, he wandered around dorms, worked unloading cars, and never complained. During the same period, Abdulov Alexander Gavrilovich began to take part in extras.
At a graduation performance in 1974, he noticed the talented young man and invited him to Lenkom. On the stage of the theater, Alexander Abdulov played the main role in the play “Not on the Lists” based on Vasiliev’s story. For the role of Lieutenant Pluzhnikov he was awarded the “Theatrical Spring” award. Since that time, Alexander Gavriilovich lived and breathed the brainchild of Mark Zakharov.
The native stage did not let go of Abdulov until his last days. The production “Juno and Avos” is considered to be a significant performance.
Alexander Abdulov in the play “Not on the Lists” The role in the play “And the Heretic,” a stage adaptation of Dostoevsky’s novel “The Idiot,” was also successful. For his participation in this production, he received the independent non-state award “Crystal Turandot” and the “K.S. Foundation” award. Stanislavsky." Abdulov’s acting was also noted by the E.L. Leonov International Theater Foundation.
In 1985, the film “The Most Charming and Attractive” was released, which instantly captivated Soviet viewers, became the most popular film during Perestroika and remains one of the favorite Soviet comedies among modern audiences.
Alexander Abdulov in the film "The Most Charming and Attractive" Abdulov played the role of the handsome Volodya Smirnov, the love interest of the main character Nadezhda Klyueva. She played it too. The role of Nadezhda was specially written for Muravyova, and the director literally followed on her heels and begged her to play in the film. Irina refused for a long time: after Carnival, she firmly decided not to act in comedies. If in the end the actress had not agreed, the film simply would not have been made.
But the director was still able to persuade his heroine, and the country received a comedy that remained in the hearts of the audience for many years, and Alexander Abdulov received one of his iconic roles. Despite the choice of the main character, many girls gave their preference to Abdulov and his character, a well-groomed music lover with tall stature and good appearance.
Irina Muravyova and Alexander Abdulov in the film "The Most Charming and Attractive" Second half of the 70s. had a productive impact on Abdulov’s career. He took part in the productions of a series of famous films: “12 Chairs”, “The Meeting Place Cannot Be Changed”, “The Lost Expedition”. But national recognition and incredible love came to the artist after the film adaptation of “An Ordinary Miracle” under the direction of Zakharov.

A wide creative range and unique appearance allowed Abdulov to actively act in comedies, adventures, detective stories, historical films, lyrical, romantic, and even take on deep dramatic images. In addition, Abdulov himself performed all the stunts in his many films and even received awards as the best stuntman.
The film “Don’t Part With Your Loved Ones,” where Alexander played Mitya, was a massive success. Early 80s the actor gains wide popularity and is in demand among directors. Most of all, Abdulov is filmed by Mark Zakharov and Sergei Solovyov. Often I had to shoot several films at the same time due to a busy schedule.
The most memorable roles of the actor of this period are Nikita from “Carnival”, Ivan from “Sorcerers” and Robert de Charens from “Look for a Woman”. In addition, Alexander Abdulov played in such films, popular to this day, as “That Same Munchausen”, “Midshipmen, Go!”, “Formula of Love” and in many other films.

In 1991, Alexander Abdulov became People's Artist of the RSFSR.
In the same year, the actor played the main role in the film “Genius” by Viktor Sergeev. Abdulov’s collaboration with the director began with this picture. The film tells the story of a talented inventor who, due to his poverty and the general lack of demand for smart people, became a fraudster. The film became a revelation for the viewer and firmly entered the box office leaders; it is recognized as one of the most interesting works of that period.
Later there was a popular melodrama with a criminal slant, “Strange Men of Ekaterina Semyonova” and “Schizophrenia,” for which Abdulov himself wrote the script. The latter film, however, was not particularly loved by audiences or critics.
Alexander Abdulov in the film "Genius" In the 90s, Abdulov presented his new brainchild, the “Backyards” festival, to the public. The actor not only headed the event, but also organized it himself. It was a charity festival in which Lenkom actors and various invited celebrities, mostly musicians and rock stars, took part. Such charity evenings enjoyed great respect among the intelligentsia, both creative and entrepreneurial.
The proceeds from the event were used to restore the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary in Putinki, located next to the theater. But mostly the actor gave money from concerts to orphanages and other people in need.
Alexander Abdulov in the film "Strange Men of Semyonova Ekaterina" The actor actively took part in the restoration of the Moscow International Film Festival, and until 1995 he worked as its general director.

In 2004, the country saw its favorite actor as the TV presenter of the “Natural Selection” program on REN TV.
Alexander Abdulov in the series "The Master and Margarita" In 2005, the actor played Koroviev in the TV series “The Master and Margarita,” which added to Abdulov’s collection of successful and iconic roles.
Personal life
Abdulov has always been a hero-lover, both on screen and in life. He had many fans all over the country, and the press attributed to him affairs with a variety of women, famous and not so famous. His romantic and impetuous nature was simply not compatible with the quiet harmony of a calm family life, which he demonstrated in all his relationships.
In the early 70s, Abdulov felt his first love pangs and even tried to commit suicide when he found his beloved girl Tatyana in the arms of another man. To the girl’s credit, it should be noted that Alexander himself was not faithful to her, and Tatyana only cheated when she found out that her chosen one loved not only her. Alexander was saved from blood loss by a friend from the hostel, who, by a lucky coincidence, returned earlier. Even greater luck was that the future actor miraculously avoided being placed in a psychiatric clinic after such an incident. The actor recalled this situation with a smile and said: “He was a fool!”
Next came another Tatiana. The still unknown Abdulov charmed the successful dancer Tatyana Leibel. It was a really beautiful romance, but it ended quickly. Tatyana realized that Alexander’s feelings for her had faded away, and her place in his heart was taken by another, young actress and his future wife Irina. The separation was peaceful, the couple maintained friendly relations until the dancer moved to Canada.
Alexander Abdulov met his first wife on the set of “Don’t Part With Your Loved Ones.” The lives of the plot characters mirrored the couple’s relationships outside of work. They were deservedly called the most romantic and beautiful couple of Soviet times.
Alferova got married while pregnant from foreign businessman Boyko Gyurov. Abdulov and his wife carefully hid this fact from curious newspapermen; Alexander Gavriilovich raised his adopted daughter as his own. The actor did not have his own children until he was over fifty years old. But he never considered Ksenia a stranger. The girl always felt the support of her famous stepfather, even after her parents’ divorce. Much later, she made the film “The Inventor,” dedicated to the memory of her stepfather.
Despite the fact that Abdulov and Irina Alferova were married, in 1993 the exemplary family broke up. Alexander lived with his wife for 14 years. But the amorous adventures of the incorrigible ladies' man could not pass without a trace.
The romance between Abdulov and Larisa Steinman lasted for two years. Larisa worked as a journalist and, on duty, came to interview a celebrity. The actor always disliked representatives of the press, which did not stop him from starting a relationship with one of them.
Alexander Abdulov had to undergo a difficult operation, but he pulled through and continued his career. After a miraculous recovery, the successful artist began building a house, where he later lived with his common-law wife, ballerina Galina Lobanova, and mother. Close friends often visited the house and helped Abdulov build the house.
Having lived in the same house with the woman he loved for 8 years, the actor never registered his marriage; moreover, he did not even dissolve his union with Irina Alferova. The artist’s first marriage was bound by church ties, and Alexander, as a believer, did not consider the possibility of breaking this oath in the face of God. As a real man would expect, Abdulov left housing for both of his women, while he wandered around the theater’s back rooms. It was difficult to bear parting with Galina; he suffered from depression for a long time, became haggard and aged.
Despite this promise, after antidepressant therapy, Alexander Abdulov’s personal life improved: he married for the second time. The chosen one was Yulia Mashina. According to the artist himself, this girl brought him back to life. They met in 2005 completely by accident. We flew next to each other on a plane to Kamchatka. Alexander - to visit friends, relax, hunt and fish, and Yulia - on a work trip. The new acquaintances found out that they had many mutual friends on the plane, and on the peninsula they were once again convinced of this. Julia and Alexander met again in a friendly company.
The already middle-aged Abdulov behaved like a teenager in love, kissing the hands of his chosen one. Even then, they experienced warm feelings for each other that seemed unreal: there was too much difference in age, professions and worldview. But the future spouses flew back to the capital separately.
The holiday romance convinced Julia that her marriage no longer suited her. At that time, she was married to Alexei Ignatenko, a man of the highest circle. Many were surprised that the girl was divorcing her young, loving, wealthy husband from an intelligent family. After the breakup, there was little to keep Yulia in the capital, and she left for her small homeland, Odessa.
The actor tormented himself with love. He realized that he no longer wanted to live without his beloved Yulia. Abdulov ordered his director to contact his chosen one and invite him to St. Petersburg. Julia surprised everyone here too; the girl refused the recognized favorite of women, saying that if he wanted her attention, he should come to her himself. And the actor flew to Odessa. The couple celebrated the old New Year together, and after that the lovers no longer separated, did not deny their relationship and did not try to hide it.
In 2006, a modest wedding took place in the restaurant of the Central House of Writers. Journalists were not allowed to attend the celebration; the celebration was only for the closest friends. There was no white dress or many photographs.
In March 2007, Yulia Abdulova gave the actor a daughter, who was named Evgenia.
Almost everyone condemned the family union of Alexander and Yulia. The girl was accused of a thirst for fame and commercialism. The age difference between the spouses haunted the public. The rumors had no basis in fact. The pretty brunette was not at all a hunter of star husbands; she had a stable job, career and numerous useful acquaintances.
In fact, at the beginning of the relationship, Abdulaev’s financial condition was much less stable than that of his chosen one. Yulia's parents were also against it. From their point of view, everything was exactly the opposite, and the actor was already unworthy of their daughter. They did not like Abdulov’s profession, nor his age, and especially the age difference with their daughter, nor the couple’s relationship in general. But all the attacks only forced the lovers to unite.
Death
At the end of August 2007, the media made noise about the actor’s terrible illness. The examination in Israel shocked relatives - Abdulov was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer, which became the cause of the actor’s death; his passion for smoking could not pass without a trace. The most amazing thing is that just at that time Abdulov was filming his last film, where he played an artist dying of lung cancer. A monstrous coincidence.
A lifelong fighter, Alexander Abdulov, refused to accept reality until the very end, and, despite the support of millions of viewers, he died on January 3, 2008.
It was possible to say goodbye to the actor at the Lenkoma Theater. Despite the winter cold, a crowd of thousands of fans formed a crush in and around the theater, and law enforcement agencies were seriously afraid that people might die in this chaos. At some point, some of the people were pushed out onto the street, promising that they would be allowed to say goodbye to the idol when those who were lucky enough to remain left. Fans tried to storm the theater several times.
Farewell to Alexander Abdulov at the Lenkoma Theater People gathered from all over the country, some even flew from Siberia, to pay tribute to their favorite actor. But that did not happen. A huge number of people stood in the cold for several hours only to see the car with the coffin driving away towards the Vagankovskoye cemetery.
A scandal also erupted around Abdulov's grave. As the actor’s widow, Julia, quite naturally, supervised the funeral and gave orders. This did not suit the actor’s friends, and several men, in a rather harsh manner, told the unfortunate woman to keep quiet and not get involved in such an important process for her. According to eyewitnesses of the quarrel, Julia led very wisely and logically. Most likely, it was not a matter of what and how the widow did, but the hostility of the actor’s friends towards his new wife, which they expressed at such an inopportune moment.
Perhaps it was nerves due to the tragedy, but such an act of friends and relatives towards a woman who has lost a loved one still remains unforgivable. The widow with a small child in her arms became hysterical, and for a long time they could not calm Yulia down.
