Fedor Bondarchuk .
Fedor Bondarchuk is almost always in the center of public attention. He regularly shoots and starred in interesting films, receives awards and awards, his film "Stalingrad" was nominated for an Academy Award. But now Fedor Sergeevich has given rise to a sensation of a somewhat different kind. Not so long ago, the divorce of the cinematographer from his wife Svetlana was announced. And now secular observers and bloggers are discussing with great excitement the rumor about his imminent wedding with a young actress Paulina Andreeva. Who is the filmmaker's new muse?
She started acting in films rather late, but participation in several serious projects immediately made Paulina famous. The actress, unlike her colleagues, prefers a private Instagram account and says that she is afraid to share the events of her personal life with the general public. What do we know about the girl?
Andreeva was born in St. Petersburg, in a family of entrepreneurs, and after graduating from school she entered the Faculty of Journalism of St. Petersburg State University. But two years later she realized that it was not hers, and went to Moscow. The girl was accepted into the Moscow Art Theater School and, being in her third year, played in the play by Kirill Serebrennikov. At the same time, she began acting in episodic roles in serials. In 2011, he began working in the troupe of the Moscow Art Theater named after Chekhov, and two years later he starred in the TV series "The Thaw" as the singer Dina. And becomes famous.
As Paulina said, her parents were sympathetic to her desire to become an actress. The girl was presented with freedom of choice, for which she is grateful. Why did Andreeva choose Moscow? Because she is an ambitious girl. “It’s my nature to force myself out of my comfort zone. At that moment, I had to leave for this. I managed at such a young age to follow my instincts. They took me to the theater institute. I had such a strong desire inside me to enter the acting department that I could not help but try, ”the actress said in an interview.
After the "Thaw" Andreeva receives several interesting offers. She decides to take a chance - to play a very relaxed girl in the erotic thriller "Locust". The actress agreed to take part in the filming in rather explicit scenes. As Paulina said, she really liked the script. “And I believe that all the scenes of passion and love that are in Locust carry a significant dramatic load. The film would not have been possible without them."
Soon Andreeva's talent was noticed by the creators of the psychological thriller Method. And they invited the girl to take part in the project. As the actress said, on the set she was very worried. Since working with Konstantin Khabensky for a young actor is a great success and at the same time a serious test. "He's like a litmus test for talent or lack of talent in the artists standing next to him in the frame."
Today Andreeva combines filming with performances. The theater is my base. Cinema is fickle: today you are filming, tomorrow you are not. In the theater, I have a repertoire, a certain number of performances per month, rehearsals. This gives you the opportunity to choose what to shoot. I try to behave in the profession with restraint, not to try to embrace the entire cinema, so for now I manage to manage my time wisely.
And what about personal life? A couple of years ago, the girl said that so far marriage was not in her plans. “I don’t plan to get married by a certain age or have children – it’s ridiculous. Life disposes of our destinies brighter and more interesting than we fantasize. I am not planning a vacation or a trip home to St. Petersburg. I always take a ticket unexpectedly, realizing that tomorrow I am free.
But last fall, the situation changed somewhat. According to rumors, in November, Paulina met Fedor Sergeevich Bondarchuk. “I first saw her at Number 13D (a performance of the Chekhov Moscow Art Theater). I was simply knocked down, because some absolute beauty performed in a conservative theater. Stunning! Wow!" - the director recently said, introducing Paulina on the "Cinema in Detail" program.
The cinematographer seemed to be really taken aback. On the spot literally. Couldn't handle the feelings. On March 19, the Bondarchuk couple officially announced their divorce. The other day, gossip circulated about the preparation of Fedor and Paulina for the wedding. Such a rush is somewhat surprising, but we can only guess about the reasons, since Bondarchuk and Andreeva do not comment on gossip.
By the way, Paulina is a gambler. As the girl said in an interview: "It's good that there are no casinos in Moscow now - I'm safe here."

The future great director was born into a peasant family in the village of Belozerka (now the territory of Ukraine), but while still very young, his parents moved Sergei first to Taganrog, and then to Yeysk. There, Bondarchuk's career as an artist began: while still in high school, Sergei Fedorovich tried himself first on the stage of the Taganrog Drama Theater, and then - the Yeisk.
Sergey went to the theater school of Rostov-on-Don, where he was waiting not only for the first acting education in his life, but also for real, sincere love.
Her name was Zhenya. The daughter of the famous prosecutor in this city was distinguished by her lively disposition and spontaneous character, and Bondarchuk fell in love. He was only 19, he hardly understood where ardent youthful love could lead! And then a terrible thing happened: in the wonderful time of students and first love, the war intervened. Of course, already quite an adult man could not stand aside.
The war separated him not only from Zhenya, but also from his son, with whom Bondarchuk's first lover was pregnant. They did not have time to sign, and none of them imagined that Sergei Fedorovich would end the war with a completely different person, and would not return to Rostov.
official wife
In 1946, Bondarchuk ends his military career and comes to Moscow. Always dreaming of a theatrical career, a young man who had already tried himself on the stage, quickly entered VGIK, where he was considered a real hero: after all, the war touched the young man.
Classmates recall that he was the most serious, the most organized on the course. In addition, the man was passionate about his work, and, as best he could, helped others to master dramatic skills.
He began to look at his classmate Inna Makarova while still at the institute, and when they were both invited to shoot in the Young Guard, he really fell in love. He ran on dates to an intelligent beauty from the outback, and did not dare to offer her all sorts of vulgarities. She recalls rather funny stories of their first meetings: how he took out a pencil from his pocket and painted on her eyebrows shaved for the role.
In 1947, the actors got married, and three years later their daughter Natasha was born. By that time, both had already become famous, received well-deserved awards, as well as a small separate apartment.
The glory of Bondarchuk haunted his first lover. Upon learning that Sergei had successfully settled in the capital, she began active steps to return the already famous director to his first family.
Alyoshka
To remind herself, and also to show that Zhenya's intentions were not joking, she sued Bondarchuk, trying to prove that his marriage to Makarova could not be considered valid - he was supposedly married to her, just the documents about it were lost. Since the first love of Sergei Fedorovich was the daughter of the prosecutor, the court sided with her. I had to go to Rostov-on-Don, to persuade Evgenia to cancel the application. The couple managed to do this, but the first wife did not calm down on this.
According to Inna Makarova, one day she came home and saw that Sergei was not alone - a very small boy was sitting next to him. It turned out that this is the son from the first marriage. Bondarchuk is blacker than a cloud, he is afraid that Makarova will kick him out of the house, but she was delighted! I thought that she would raise a boy, they would live as a complete family.
Two marriages of one Inna
When Alyoshka, that was the name of the guy, was already used to the new environment, Evgenia appeared at the head of a special commission, in the presence of which she began to demand that Bondarchuk recognize his son and begin to pay alimony to him. He didn't mind.
Let's go to Zhenya's hometown. Sergei Fedorovich divorced Inna Vladimirovna, married Evgenia - the only way to write down his son in his last name, and was going to get a divorce in order to marry Inna again. But that divorce did not give for a long time, she was angry and hoped that the official paper would return the man to the family. But Sergey continued to live his usual life with Inna, so after months of useless skirmishes, Evgenia nevertheless agreed to the dissolution of the marriage. Bondarchuk married Inna again.
He had little contact with his son, since one day he came to Moscow, hoping to ask his father for advice - where to go? He came to the house of Inna Vladimirovna, although he knew that his father was now married for the second time, and lives in another family. But the new wife did not bless her husband with calls from a past life, and Lesha did not dare to go to her. I stopped at Makarova and wandered to my father on the set. He almost kicked him out, thinking that he was a journalist. But everything ended well, and, having entered the foreign language, Alexei will often run to his father for a few words.
Choice
He was still a faithful family man when at one of the exhibitions he saw a portrait of the beautiful and delicate Irina Skobtseva. She will later remember this episode: how she caught Sergei Fedorovich looking at the portrait. However, romantic feelings flared up only on the set, when both of them were approved for the main roles in the sensational Othello.
Everyone knew about the affair of the married Bondarchuk and the charming Skobtseva. Young people were repeatedly given suggestions even at the highest government level, they were not released together abroad (the film became famous and won several international awards), but they were so drawn to each other that they could not do anything.
Inna Vladimirovna put an end to the marital relationship. She was trapped by other people's feelings and constant persecution by the competent authorities, who also had a lot to do with their marriage. Constant calls, anonymous notes, daily conversations drove the talented actress crazy, did not allow her to develop and work. And one day she gathered her will into a fist and suggested that Sergei get a divorce.
He left his wife with one suitcase, went to the house of Skobtseva's parents and asked her never to leave, and also ... to let him be silent for three days. Later, Irina admits that she does not remember that he proposed to her, but in 1959 they nevertheless entered into a legal marriage.
Helen
Skobtseva was the main beauty, a real queen in Bondarchuk's life. Therefore, having decided to shoot "War and Peace", it was his wife who he approved for the role of the recognized beauty Helen. True, before filming, he warned: “Irina, I am shooting a picture, and everything else is your concern.” He seemed to know what he was talking about: it was during the filming of the epic that two happy additions happened in the family: first, daughter Alena was born, and then son Fedor.
Interesting stories were associated with the names of children. During the birth of his daughter, Sergei Fedorovich was at a festival in Helsinki. A girl approached him with a telegram sent by his wife. The delighted director asked the sweet messenger: "What is your name?" "Alyonushka" was the answer. Bondarchuk immediately issued a postcard to his wife, in which he ordered to name his daughter Alena. At this time, Irina, who was lying in the ward with 12 women in labor, suddenly realized that every second woman calls her daughter Alena and thought that she would never call her that. Imagine her surprise when she received a telegram from her husband!
As one ad said, shock is our way. We all believe in fairy tales and think that just like that, after 25 years of marriage, the two stars parted not because of someone, but because they “got tired of each other”, “decided to remain good friends” - well, what do they usually say in such cases? But it turned out that the reason for the divorce of Svetlana and Fyodor Bondarchuk was the usual romance of a wise man with a young girl. Almost like his recent "colleague" - Sergei Bezrukov, who chose the director Anna Mathison, and decided to leave his wife Irina for her sake.
But let's start in order. The magazine "" reported information that, in fact, 48-year-old Fyodor Bondarchuk was planning a wedding with his new girlfriend with might and main. It turned out that the director is dating 27-year-old Paulina Andreeva, who revealed herself in the TV series "Method", where she got the role of an assistant to an odious investigator performed by Konstantin Khabensky. Also among her notable film works are "Locust" and the series "Thaw". The magazine writes that preparations for the wedding are in full swing, despite the fact that the couple have not been together for so long - since last fall. The press generally wrote that Paulina had an affair with Vladimir Mashkov - they say that the actor had already introduced the young star to everyone as his girlfriend, and on her birthday he covered the path with roses from the entrance to the theater to the stage itself. But, apparently, Fedor Bondarchuk turned out to be a more promising groom.
However, at the time, he wasn't. Singer Lika Star gave an interview to Caravan of Stories, where she spoke about her romance with the director. And about how he constantly tried to leave his wife, but did nothing. “Fedya appeared and disappeared,” she says. - If you remember what he told me, you can write a novel! And how touching - you cry. How he suffered, how he fell in love at first sight, how I did not pay attention to him, insisted that I was just made for him! One word - storyteller! I felt so sorry for him, I think: poor sufferer! Everyone around is shouting: “Bondarchuk is a macho!” And he is, first of all, a master of words, like no one knows how to envelop you with speeches. And all the words, words, words ... Only gradually you realize that there will be nothing more than words! Will come - and let's spill like a nightingale. Just have time to run to the balcony, where I had a five-liter bottle of whiskey, and pour it into his glass. Each time he promised me: “I'm going to get my suitcases. Wait tonight!" He left to say goodbye to his wife and ... disappeared.
As a result, Lika freaked out and told Svetlana herself about everything: “And suddenly such an evil took me. Especially when Sveta, as if nothing had happened, decided to start small talk with me. I interrupted her, saying very harshly: “We cannot be friends, Sveta. I had an affair with your husband. You follow him, please. And hide the suitcases, otherwise your storyteller is trying to take them out of the house! Sveta carefully listened to everything and said nothing ... ".
AND AT THIS TIME
Svetlana Bondarchuk takes comfort in the Maldives after breaking up with her husband
Fedor Bondarchuk is officially single. Like his now ex-wife, glossy magazine editor, model and TV presenter Svetlana Bondarchuk. They announced their decision, which was a big surprise for most, on the pages of Svetlana's publication. Everything is extremely formal and restrained. Lived together for the last 25 years, then - separately
Childhood
Fedor is the son of actress Irina Skobtseva and the famous director Sergei Bondarchuk. The future actor studied at the 31st metropolitan special school. He was an unusual schoolboy: the boy drank, smoked and studied very badly. Papa Fedya was on business trips all the time, so only mom was called to school. She always had to listen to speeches about the pranks of her naughty son.In the 8th grade, Fyodor Bondarchuk met the son of director Nikita Mikhalkov, Stepan. He was known as a bully and a terrible bully.
The upbringing of Fedor and his sister Alena was carried out by grandmother Yulia Nikolaevna. The director recalls that she was kind and saw in her grandson a future architect or opera singer. Fedor drew well and graduated from art school. Mom wanted to raise a diplomat from her son.
After school, Fyodor Bondarchuk entered VGIK, but he had to leave for two years in the army. The future celebrity served in training in Krasnoyarsk, and then in the Taman division. There, Fedor was a private in a cavalry regiment, or, as he was also called, "thieves' cavalry." This regiment was created for the sake of battle filming in the film "War and Peace" by Sergei Bondarchuk and was located in the suburbs. Filming ended, but the regiment was not dispersed, but attached to the Taman division. Bondarchuk graduated from serving as a signalman.
student body
After the army, Fedor decided to enter MGIMO. He probably would have done it, but his father took him to VGIK, having previously removed his unlucky son in the film Boris Godunov.“My father was strict with me. But he was and will remain an unshakable authority for me. It was a responsibility. When I returned from filming, you can say the sweat was squeezed out of me. The role was difficult for me, ”says Fedor.
As a result, Fedor entered the directing and production department, in Ozerov's studio. At the university, he constantly had to prove his creative viability. Bondarchuk, of course, because of his famous surname, was under close scrutiny. Especially in 1986, when his father was sharply criticized at the fifth convention of filmmakers. Events were actively discussed at the Fedor Institute. And it was impossible to wait for flattering attention from fellow students. Fedor did everything possible to show that he himself was worth something. It is worth noting that Bondarchuk Jr. had many complexes, teachers helped to open up.
The course of Fyodor Bondarchuk at the institute was called "star". Ivan Okhlobystin, Alexander Bashirov, Mikhail Mukasey, Sergey Kozlov studied here. And Renata Litvinova studied at the parallel course. Now they make up modern Russian cinema.
Bondarchuk graduated from VGIK in 1991. He maintained warm relations with his fellow students, which are maintained to this day.
First works
After the institute, Fedor, together with his friend Stepan, decided to cut through a "video window to Europe." They organized the country's first private company for the production of clips. It was called "Art Pictures Group". All the money earned went to the promotion of the company. Art Pictures not only made video clips, but also organized art exhibitions and festivals.One of the first steps in the development of the company was the appearance of the festival of commercials "Generation". It still exists. Bondarchuk's career as a clip maker began with the video "Look into the eyes" by Natalia Vetlitskaya. And for ten years of work, Fedor shot videos for almost all popular Russian groups and performers: Grebenshchikov, Pugacheva, Orbakaite, Presnyakov, Varum and others.
In 1993, Fyodor Bondarchuk was awarded the Ovation Prize for his work. Bondarchuk was awarded by his father.
“I worried people because I am the son of a great Soviet director. And all of a sudden, he did something completely incomprehensible. Then no one understood what a video or clip is. Famous directors saw in such work only money and forms that were unworthy of the brush of artists. But if you look from a professional point of view, here you can create and experiment with everything: image, editing! Father liked it."
After "Boris Godunov" Bondarchuk starred in the term paper of a friend of Tigran Keosayan. The work was called "Sunny Beach". Fedor played a young soldier. This was followed by the paintings "Demons" and "Arbiter".
Fyodor Bondarchuk about the filming of Stalingrad
In 1993, the film "Angels of Death" appeared. And in the same year, Fyodor Bondarchuk made his debut as a director. He shot a benefit performance of Lyudmila Gurchenko, the film "I Love".
“My VGIK diploma says that I am a director. There is already Bondarchuk in the big cinema, I don’t even want to try to create something more significant, along the way proving to everyone that I am also worth something. Therefore, I act in films more often than I shoot. In addition to the student short film, there is only one film "Love". But the list of my acting work is more impressive: here I am not in the shadow of my father, I leave on my own charm ... "
Actor and director
Then Fedor stopped acting. There was silence for five years. And in 1998, the actor returned to the screen and played the strange young man Vlad in the film "Midlife Crisis" by Garik Sukachev.Next was the picture "8.5 dollars". There Bondarchuk got two roles at once. According to some opinions, this picture is from a company of party-goers who decided to make a tape over the weekend. And famous people hung out. After "8.5 dollars" the New Year's story "Showcase" followed.
In 2001, Fedor starred in a film that made a splash. "Down House" gave new food for the mind of critics and journalists. In a kind of “anti-screen adaptation” of Dostoevsky’s The Idiot, Bondarchuk got the role of Prince Myshkin.
However, critics did not like the picture. A stream of criticism fell upon the director and actors. And the press wondered why they wanted to rent the film. The tape was just not called. "Ohausevshiy Myshkin" and "dancing Down" were the most affectionate nicknames.
“I like Myshkin to madness. I look like him in the interpretation of Vanya Okhlobystin. At first I did not believe in it, but Kachanov and Vanya convinced me. I am a flexible, modest and efficient person. And after two hours of conversation with them, I became Myshkin. ”, - Bondarchuk himself spoke about the role.
This was followed by another grandiose series "Men's work". This is a picture about the adventures and everyday life of three soldiers. Some episodes are based on real events, for example, the taking of journalists hostage, the withdrawal of a separatist gang, set up by the special services. Bondarchuk got the role of Major Rebrov or Pasechnik. He is a courageous "special forces". The role turned out to be successful, though sometimes the pretense slipped.
Fedor Bondarchuk on video
In 2001, the film “Kino pro kino” by Rubinchik was released, where Fedor appeared as a producer. This was followed by work in the film "On the Move" by Philip Jankowski about bohemian life.
In total, there are 50 acting works in the piggy bank of Fyodor Bondarchuk. Among them are “9th Company”, “State Councilor”, “Death of the Empire”, “Heat”, “I Stay”, “1814”, “Inhabited Island”, “Exchange Wedding”. As a director, Fedor released three films: "Inhabited Island", "Winter Queen", "Stalingrad". Fedor Bondarchuk owns three restaurants in Moscow: Vertinsky, Vanil and Bistrot. Some he shares with Arkady Novikov and Stepan Mikhalkov. In 2010, he opened the Bulka confectionery with other restaurateurs. And a year before, the actor's restaurant business opened in Yekaterinburg. There are two restaurants and a bakery.
Fyodor Bondarchuk's personal life
Fyodor Bondarchuk got married early. The first meeting with his future wife took place in the army, when Fedor was on leave. The actor came to his school friend Irina, whom he met at that time. The girl was visiting a beautiful blonde, who immediately attracted the attention of Bondarchuk. 
A year and a half later, a few months before his dismissal, Fedor ended up in the hospital with a trophic ulcer. It was boring in the hospital bed, and he asked that same school friend to bring Svetlana. She came at a time when Bondarchuk was suffering from a hangover after drinking stolen alcohol with a comrade in the ward. The girl fled to the hospital room from school: she came in a school uniform and a change bag in her hands. From that moment on, a crazy romance began. Sveta visited Fedor every day until the day of demobilization.
The novel turned into a serious relationship. In 1991, Svetlana and Fedor got married. Two children were born in the marriage: shortly after the wedding, the couple had a son, Sergei, and exactly ten years later, in 2001, a daughter, Varvara.
In March 2016, the Bondarchuk couple announced a divorce, which followed after 25 years of official relationship. The first information was reported by the publication Hello, in which Svetlana worked as the editor-in-chief. On the pages of the magazine, the ex-spouses placed an official statement, saying that they still remain close people. There were no quarrels, conflicts and resentments behind the fact of divorce - Fedor and Svetlana simply decided to remain friends.
A couple of weeks later, there were reports in the press that Fedor had left his wife for the sake of an affair with an actress.
The director will celebrate his 50th birthday with his family.
Fedor - 50! He is in great shape, surrounded by attention, love, successful ... The Teleprogram magazine recalls the star's favorite women.
sisters
Fyodor's half-sister Natalya did not communicate with him for many years. Sergei Bondarchuk cheated on her mother - actress Inna Makarova - with Irina Skobtseva, who later became the director's third wife and bore him two children: Fedor and Elena.
After the death of her father, Natalya realized that she had no one closer than her brother. Now they are constantly in touch. Natalia's son, composer Ivan Burlyaev, composed music for. Natalia Bondarchuk herself is a director, she knows that she can rely on her brother in any matters:
- When one of the actors who starred with me slowed down the shooting, I rushed to call Fedya - if he would play this role. The brother immediately responded: “Of course! And you don't need any money." That artist returned, but Fedin's readiness to help out was worth a lot ... I know that I am a child of love, and Fedya knows that he is a child of love. What should we share?

Daughter and granddaughters
The son of a famous director and his ex-wife Svetlana, actor Sergei Bondarchuk, and his wife Tata are raising two daughters. Fedor does not have a soul in Vera and Margarita:
“Of course I pamper them. It's the parents, let them scold and educate, and I will indulge.
Grandfather rests with his granddaughters, walks, loads with toys.
On vacation, Fedor Sergeevich with his granddaughters and ex-wife Svetlana. Photo: instagram.com For a long time, Fedor did not talk about his daughter Varya. Varvara was born prematurely, the girl began to have developmental problems. Spouses Bondarchuk did not use such words as "disease". They say they are raising a child with special needs. Since the adaptation of such children is usually difficult in Russia, the girl spends most of her time abroad. There she studies and receives the necessary medical care. Svetlana Bondarchuk spoke about her daughter:
— Fantastic, funny and very beloved child! She instantly wins over everyone. It is simply impossible not to love her.
Svetlana emphasized that the birth of Barbara brought the family together. However, when Varya grew up,.
Bride
Fyodor Bondarchuk's heart is not free. The director's fiancee is actress Paulina Andreeva. On the eve of the anniversary, Bondarchuk spoke about his relationship with the actress:
- I first saw Paulina in the play "No. 13D". I was invited to the premiere of the new version by my old friend Igor Vernik. There I noticed the actress Paulina Andreeva - she stood out a lot. An actress who is interesting to watch ... Paulina on stage combined beauty, comedy and space speed. In general, in my opinion, she has a rare theatrical texture. And then there was a film market in Sochi, where Sasha Tsekalo presented his project "Locust". Such a psychological thriller with many explicit scenes, in which Petr Fedorov and Paulina Andreeva played the main roles ... This bold role also singled out Paulina for me. Then Moscow made noise about the series "Method". I think it was the last one I saw. And then we met...
A year and a half has passed since then - Fedor and Paulina are resting together, the couple's friends say that the director is happy, made an offer to his beloved woman and ....
