Galina Stahanova

Galina Stakhanova is a Soviet and Russian actress who, without special education, managed to become the real queen of the episode. The artist has more than 180 film roles, working with directors Mark Zakharov and Roman Viktyuk. The only leading role went to the actress in the film-memories of Evgeny Yevtushenko "Kindergarten".

The future actress was born on October 12, 1940 in Moscow. Galina's childhood fell on difficult war years. During the war, the girl's family was evacuated to Alma-Ata - Galina remembers that period of her life in fragments. The cry of my mother remained in my memory when the girl got over the window of the third floor and miraculously remained unharmed. After that incident, the mother developed a nervous tic.

In difficult times, the father left the family - Galina had just had a younger brother. Soon there was no grandmother, who died of hunger. After the war, Galina's mother with her children returned to Moscow, the family settled on Mokhovaya, but a new misfortune was already on the doorstep - her brother was poisoned by bleach.

Despite the similarity of the names of Galina and Aleksey Stakhanov, the leader of the coal industry, they are not relatives, but only namesakes.

Stakhanova studied at the school for working youth and worked as a telephone operator. In parallel with her main studies, Galina attended a choreographic studio, played in a drama club. In the play "Tsokotukha Fly," Galina was reincarnated as grandmother Bee.

Stakhanova's mother worked several jobs at the same time: she swept the yards, took the laundry to the house, and cleaned the apartments. The woman helped the actress Vera Pashennaya with the housework, who was the first to listen to Galina. The girl read the actress Katerina's monologue from "The Storm" by Alexander Ostrovsky. Pashennaya praised Stakhanova, noting the applicant's talent, but dissuaded from entering the theater: they say, the competition is great.

Galina dreamed of a stage, but did not believe in her own capabilities. At various times, Stakhanova worked as a make-up artist's apprentice, headed the supply department at GITIS, and was a costume designer at the House of Culture. Once at Mosfilm, Galina talked to Natalia Gundareva. She also noted Stakhanova's talent, but said that at the age of 25 it was too late to enter the theater institute.

Then Galina came to the student theater of Moscow State University, which consisted of non-professional actors, but the beginning Mark Zakharov led the process. And even in the amateur theater there was a queue for auditions. But Galina got into the cast of the troupe. The actress played her first adult role in the production “I want to be honest”.

True, the acting heyday of Galina Stakhanova in the theater fell on the period of director Roman Viktyuk. The director revealed Stakhanova's personality, the artist appeared with the master in the productions of Cinzano, Smirnov's Birthday, and The Smell of Light Tan. In the play "Music Lessons" by Lyudmila Petrushevskaya, Stakhanova was so organically reincarnated as the heroine Grunya that the audience cried at the shows.

Galina Stakhanova came to the cinema late, when her colleagues had a career, but this did not prevent the artist from becoming the favorite of millions of viewers.

The actress got into the cinema by accident - in one of the performances, Yevgeny Yevtushenko saw Stakhanov. The poet was captivated by Galina's extraordinary appearance and play. The writer invited Galina Stakhanova to play the role of his grandmother in the film "Kindergarten". The artistic council did not want to approve her candidacy for a long time, but Yevtushenko defended the actress. This was when Stakhanova was 43 years old.

The role of the grandmother of the protagonist was the only leading role of the artist in her entire creative biography. The actress was so organically transformed into a heroine that she did not need any prompts from the director, as the poet later noted. The film was included in the out-of-competition program of the Venice Film Festival, and Galina Stakhanova's performance was noted by the cult Italian director Michelangelo Antonioni.

Then there were shooting in the film "Long Memory" by Roman Viktyuk, in the film by Tamara Pavlyuchenko "We are taking a cat with us", where Stakhanova appeared in the form of a hospital nanny Pasha caring for children with cerebral palsy. The actress also appeared in Nikolai Dostal's film Shura and Prosvirnyak, Yevgeny Yevtushenko's next creation The Funeral of Stalin, and Vladimir Nakhabtsev's melodramatic film A Trail of Rain.

Galina was offered cameo roles, but in the performance of Stakhanova they became memorable. At the same time, Galina did not quit her main job as a senior inspector at the Luzhniki Sports Center. Colleagues treated Stakhanova's acting with distrust.

At the end of the 90s, the actress went through a difficult period: there were no offers from directors, she was dismissed from work, and in 1998 her mother was gone. Galina Konstantinovna did not despair - she went to agencies and left a photo. Patience and dedication were rewarded: they began to invite Stakhanov to the roles of nannies, cleaning ladies, watchmen, grandmothers.

The actress has never been married, she says that it did not work out to meet the love of her life. Novels, of course, happened. In the 60s, Rolan Bykov courted Galina Stakhanova - at that time he was already famous. The young people met at the student theater of Moscow State University, where Roland sometimes ran out of old memory. Galina says that the artist courted beautifully: he read poetry, saw him off. There was in him that invisible charm that catches women to the living. So it happened with Stakhanova.

The relationship was fast-paced but ended quickly. Roland settled in a communal apartment with the Stakhanovs. And everything would be fine, but by nature Bykov turned out to be loving, and Galina did not want to endure this. Stakhanova did not become the wife of a genius. The young people parted, maintaining good relations until Bykov's death. Since then, the actress has not established her personal life.
