Lyubov Virolaynen

The legend of Soviet cinema Lyubov Ivanovna Virolainen became famous throughout the country for her roles in the films "To Love a Man" and "Eternal Call". She is the clearest example of how you can rise from the very bottom of life to Olympus. And hold on to it for as long as possible.

Lyubov Virolainen (before marriage - Urozhenko) was born before the war, in January 1941 in the Belarusian city of Borisov. The future Honored Artist of the RSFSR had a terrible, tragic childhood. Dad died at the front in the very first years of the war, leaving three children half-orphans. Lyubov Ivanovna was a baby when my mother went to a partisan detachment. The children, a 6-year-old son, a 3-year-old daughter and tiny Lyuba, remained in the dugout, eating what kind people brought. Soon my mother was captured by the Germans and was sent to a concentration camp.

After her release, the mother found the children in the same dugout. They all three survived miraculously. Lyuba, who did not remember her mother, resisted and cried, afraid of this completely alien woman. The addiction was difficult. However, like all subsequent years of growing up. Lyubov Ivanovna said that in her childhood and youth she never had new clothes. She just had to wear her older sister's clothes. And she was able to eat a hearty meal only when she graduated from school. When Lyubov Virolainen was in her senior class, the family moved to Leningrad.

Lyubov Virolainen dreamed of an acting profession during her school years. As the artist recently admitted, this dream was dictated not so much by the desire for self-expression through creativity, as by banal poverty.

The girl approached the newsstands, where photographs of famous actresses were sold in huge numbers, saw a photo of the beautiful Lyubov Orlova in magnificent dresses, Tamara Makarova in a luxurious hat, and it seemed to her that the actresses were heavenly inhabitants living in incredible wealth and satiety. The young girl wanted to live the same way, not remembering every minute of her aching empty stomach.

In Leningrad, Lyubov Virolainen was lucky. Once she was noticed by an agent of a film studio and invited to audition for the film At the Turning Point. The director of the melodrama Nikolai Lebedev noticed talent in the girl and approved for a small role. This film turned out to be a springboard for the young actress, a ticket to the world of cinema. And then, from the first fee, Lyuba bought fresh white bread and brought it home, dividing it among her relatives.

After leaving school, Lyubov Ivanovna Virolainen tried to enter a theater university. But a girl in a nondescript school dress, finding herself among beautifully dressed peers, felt so gray and squeezed that she could not convince the admissions committee of her talent.

Only a few years later, Virolainen made a second attempt. She managed to go to the theater studio at the Bolshoi Drama Theater. The head of the theater, Georgy Tovstonogov, was able to see the talent in this fragile girl with big sad eyes and an amazing hoarse timbre of voice. From the very first roles, Tovstonogov was convinced that his choice was correct.

The cinematic biography of Lyubov Virolainen began, except for a tiny role in the film "At the Turning Point", the film "The Way Home". This melodrama by Alexander Surin, released in 1969, was a great success. The young actress was noticed. The image of a woman created by her, so hard looking for her happiness, “hooked” the audience with her unplayed tragedy.

After 3 years, a starring role came to the artist, instantly bringing her to the pinnacle of fame and incredible popularity. Lyubov Ivanovna played the main character of Sergei Gerasimov's film To Love a Man. The film's success was tremendous. Together with Anatoly Solonitsyn, the artist managed to create a stunning image of a fragile, but at the same time very strong woman, restrained and at the same time passionate. The amazing "signature" voice of the actress completed this image.

And then there were wonderful pictures that were included in the golden fund of Russian cinema. The epic drama "Eternal Call" directed by Vladimir Krasnopolsky and Valery Uskov, the war film "At the Dangerous Line" by Viktor Georgiev, the serial melodrama "Time to Love" by Viktor Buturlin. Another great film, Day One, Day Last, in which Virolainen played the main character, was released in 1978.

The great actress starred in the 80s and 90s. And although the former success, comparable to "Loving a Man", no longer happened, but Virolainen played in several dozen good films. In the new century, the actress also did not get lost. Viewers saw her in the films "One shadow for two" and "Love under supervision." In 2015, the second season of the series "The Sniffer" was released, in which Lyubov Virolainen appeared in the form of Nelia Nikolaevna Novikova.

The first marriage of Lyubov Virolainen was not happy. From her husband she got a beautiful Finnish surname and a son. The husband was a translator from Finnish. During the war, his parents emigrated to Finland. Believing the promises of Joseph Stalin, they returned to their homeland. But instead of good housing they got a wreck in a village near St. Petersburg. For a long time, the BDT actress wandered on the train to the village to feed her little son Yuri.

She also chopped wood, fed the livestock and milked the cow. At the same time, according to Lyubov Ivanovna, the husband did not particularly hide his frequent affairs on the side. So it was until she met her true love, heart surgeon Alexander Zorin. He had to take his beloved woman out of the family, because she was ready to continue to endure the betrayal of her unloved husband, with whom she had lived by inertia in recent years, for the sake of her son.

The artist does not like to talk about it, but in her life there was a 5-year romance with the legendary director Sergei Gerasimov. These years Lyubov Virolainen lived in an incredible atmosphere of envy and gossip of colleagues. After all, she undeservedly got, as it seemed to them, the best roles. The director was very generous with the gifts that he brought to his beloved artist from foreign trips. Thanks to him, she got an apartment in the center of St. Petersburg.

But all this is in the past. Now the personal life of Lyubov Virolainen is her wonderful family, son and talented granddaughter Lyubov Yuryevna Virolainen, who dreams of becoming as popular as her famous grandmother.
