The son of actress Alexandra Zavyalova received eight years for the murder of her mother. The actress Alexandra Zavyalova passed away

On April 10, 2017, the Vyborgsky District Court of St. Petersburg sentenced the son of actress Alexandra Zavyalova for what he committed in February 2016. Peter Zavyalov sentenced to eight years in a strict regime colony, reports L! FE.

According to the source, at the trial, Zavyalova’s son did not admit to committing the murder of his own mother, who inflicted fatal knife wounds while being intoxicated. The man said that he does not remember that day, but considers himself guilty of allowing a situation whose consequences cost the life of the honored artist of the Russian Federation.

Lawyers for her son Zavyalova do not agree with the court decision, as they do not exclude that someone else killed the actress. Since all versions of the presence of third parties in the actress’s apartment were discarded at the stage of the preliminary investigation and the court, human rights activists consider the court’s verdict unfounded, and the results of the investigation biased.

The same opinion is shared by the neighbors of the actress, who characterize Peter, accused of killing his mother, only on the positive side. They claim that he is a very kind person and for the last 40 years he has been caring for his mother alone. But the investigation established that on February 3, 2016, it was Peter Zavyalov who killed the actress - the man stabbed the actress with a knife, as a result of which she died at the scene.

Recall that Alexandra Zavyalova was a Honored Artist of the Russian Federation, whose title she received for her roles in the films Shadows Disappear at Noon, Aleshkina Love, and Hippocratic Oath. The actress’s last work on the big screen was the 1992 film White Clothes.

In the 80th year of life, the famous Soviet and Russian actress Alexandra Zavyalova died. It is known to the general public, first of all, for the role of Pistimea in the film "Shadows disappear at noon." Law enforcers believe that the actress was killed by her own son.

Not having lived 2 days before 80 years, the famous Soviet actress Alexandra Semenovna Zavyalova died.

The death of the Honored Artist of Russia was told on his blog. “Two days before the anniversary, Alexandra Zavyalova was gone. Found dead in her apartment, what is it? I know that she has a wonderful, loving family, a beautiful daughter, a son, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, a husband with whom, although she broke up a long time ago, she was friends all her life. An actress of incredible beauty and tragic talent left, with a fatally unfair creative fate. No news, no information. Died, it turns out, four days ago, maybe they buried already? Only yesterday they showed all the series of Shadows ... - the classics of our cinema - is that, in memory ?! ”- he wrote.

Nothing is known about Alexandra Semenovna’s early childhood, there is only information that she was born in the Tambov region, the village of Titovka.

The actress had pronounced features of an aristocratic appearance, but grew up in a family of ordinary workers. Probably the girl inherited her extraordinary beauty from a Greek grandmother.

The fellow countrymen of the artist pass on their memories of the little girl in the movie “Hermit”: “Sasha was bright, with a burlap,” sometimes she missed classes and did not do homework, but she participated in school plays and concerts with pleasure. The young talent already masterfully showed stories in faces and read poetry from the stage.

The "star" of Soviet cinema became widely known by acting in the film "Shadows disappear at noon." Then in the life of Alexandra came a black streak that lasted decades. In her last film, White Clothes, Zavyalova starred as an elderly woman, and then went into oblivion.

Creative career

At 22, young Zavyalova graduated from the Ostrovsky Leningrad Institute and was assigned to the Brest Drama Theater in distribution. Even then, she was strewed with offers to act in films, but the actress considered herself created exclusively for the theater scene.

First roles

Filming did not attract Alexandra, especially since she had nothing to compare with. While still a student, she played the role of the fortress girl Dunya, the beloved poet, in the film "Song of Koltsov."

Despite the refusal of the actress to star, director Alexander Zarha still offered her the main role in the film "People on the Bridge." Zavyalova agreed. Since then, a creatively active time began, followed by a role in the lyric melodrama Aleshkina Love, where the actress played the heroine switchman Zina, who is timidly in love with a timid guy, drilling geologist Aleshka.

The way the young actress Alexandra Zavyalova and the famous Leonid Bykov were able to convey a touching story struck the audience. The actress's face appears on the covers of magazines and front pages of newspapers, followed by new proposals for filming.

In 1960, melodramas “Wait for Letters”, “Bread and Roses” were released. In 1961, an American photographer took Zavyalova for Life magazine, a photo shoot took place in one of the rooms of the National Hotel.

During the international film festival in Moscow, Alexander is invited to a dinner party at the US Embassy. On behalf of the leadership of the film festival, the actress received an Italian delegation at her home in Leningrad. Her communication with foreigners looked natural and relaxed.

Favorite role of the actress - Fro. She was able to play a tender, loving girl, for the sake of this Zavyalova agreed to become a blonde. An affair with the director of the picture leads her to the next main role in the film “Four Pages of One Young Life” in 1967.

Shadows disappear at noon

When Alexandra was 35 years old, she was invited to audition for the film "Shadows disappear at noon." The directors were shocked by the game, the transfer of feelings, outgoing magnetism and the beauty of the artist. The decision was made immediately, Alexandra Semenovna was approved for the role of Serafima Klychkova (Pistimey Morozova).

To play Pistimeya Makarovna was the dream of many talented actresses, but only Zavyalova was able to convey tremendous inner strength, outward softness and charm of the heroine.

In the film Morozova lives 3 ages: youth, maturity and old age. She didn’t play, colleagues on the set recall, and lived every episode. She managed to convey the image of the 17-year-old heiress of Siberian mines, who turned into an evil old nun.

The incredible efforts and talent of the actress helped to accurately show the audience the life, formation of a person. Despite the fact that the actress played a negative character, an enemy of Soviet power, she becomes the favorite of millions.

However, after this role, Zavyalova is no longer invited to take part in films, dinner parties and dinners, she goes into retreat, experiencing a severe crisis. She announced an unspoken boycott, the reasons for which are not called.

Only 30 years later, Alexandra Semenovna is invited to a meeting with fans, where she is noticed by the filmmaker Leonid Belozorovich. Elderly Zavyalova is in the cast of the 1992 film White Clothes. Alas, this was the last return to the screen.

Filmography

The actress starred in 14 films. Her heroines are strong, tough, beautiful women. Only in Fro's film did a Soviet cinema star play a tender, loving girl.

Personal life

Despite many fans, there was only one marriage in the life of Alexandra Semenovna. The actress met her future husband Dmitry Buchkin as a student. He painted her portraits, gave flowers, beautifully courted. Zavyalova was accustomed to signs of attention on the part of men, so she did not attach much importance to the courtship of Dmitry.

But the young man was persistent, he “lost his head” from the beauty of the girl. Alexandra appreciated his devotion, a few years later they got married. In 1963, a young family moved to Leningrad.

Family happiness was not destined to last long, acting fame and millions of fans made themselves felt. An affair with Rezo Esadze put an end to Alexandra's family life. Dmitry could not forgive the betrayal and the couple divorced.

But happiness in relations with Esadze did not last long, the reason for the separation was Rezo’s jealousy and the refusal of the little daughter to take her mother’s admirer as a father.

In 1964, she met a businessman from America, a co-owner of a shipping company, a romance broke out between them. Intelligence agencies suspected a businessman of espionage and invited him to leave the country. The American fan was married, but was preparing to divorce for the sake of happiness with the Russian beauty. He prophesied her overseas fame and a long life together.

The unexpected expulsion of her lover from the country destroyed the joyful life of the actress, she gained the fame of an unreliable person, she was no longer invited to act in films, the crowd of fans disappeared, only deep depression and treatment in psychiatric hospitals awaited her.

The housemates recall how, in the days of exacerbations, she ran disheveled, in untidy clothes at home in the streets and asked passers-by to take her to her husband in the USA, called the intercom and demanded to be connected to America. In these difficult years, her ex-husband Dmitry Buchkin was next to her, who loved Alexandra until the end of her days.

Children

In a legal marriage with Buchkin, Zavyalova had a daughter, Tatyana. A few years later, a second child was born - the son of Peter. The name of the father of the boy, Alexander Semenovna, refused to be named.

In 1975, she was placed in a psychiatric hospital for 2 months, during which time her daughter Tatyana Buchkin took Tatyana’s daughter to her, and they sent little Peter to the baby’s house. Zavyalova barely regained her son, but within a year she was again taken to the hospital, this time with little Peter.

Buchkin adopted the baby, taking him from the hospital. Years passed, and once the star of Soviet cinema was in complete retreat, eking out a beggarly existence.

Daughter Tatyana became an artist-designer, in the 90s she gave birth to children Darina and Dmitry.

The son tried to work in construction, but caring for his mother required a permanent stay at home, he slowly began to drink from unemployment.

Peter was married once, after the death of his wife he started several novels, which ended unsuccessfully, since the mother of Alexandra Semenovna “took away from the light all the chosen ones of her son”.

Cause of death

February 3, 2016 in her apartment, located in St. Petersburg on Gavrskaya street, house number 6, the day before the 80th birthday, the actress Alexandra Semenovna Zavyalova was killed.

Death came as a result of a stab. The grave of the "star" of Soviet cinema is located in the Smolensk cemetery.

In the last years of his life, the star of the screen was not recognized. She walked disheveled in sloppy clothes, and in the days of an exacerbation of a mental illness, she ran around the streets, pestering passers-by. Who would have thought that a beautiful woman who so carefully monitored her appearance would turn into a toothless, sloppy old woman. The press was filled with rumors and speculation about what happened to the actress, how and who killed her.

Is the son guilty

Suspicions of investigators fell on the 40-year-old son of Peter, who suffered from alcoholism.

It is assumed that the quarrel between the mother and son broke out due to the fact that Peter appropriated money that was regularly transferred to the actress's colleagues and friends in order to somehow help her buy medicine and food.

Later, during the investigation, the son of Zavyalova confesses to the crime. He testifies that he stabbed his mother with a knife, but he cannot remember how everything happened. Relatives and neighbors refuse to believe that Peter is capable of murder. He is known as a friendly and non-aggressive person.

Neighbors recall that when intoxicated, he became soft and good-natured. He constantly cared for his mother, unlike the daughter of Tatyana, who rarely visited them.

The chairman of the board of the house in which the Zavyalovs lived wrote a positive profile on Peter with the signature of 30 people. "Pistimea" survived to such years only thanks to her son, say neighbors, he had long been advised to send his mother to a hospital.

But Peter felt sorry for her, he had the deepest childhood trauma - a picture popped up before his eyes as the orderlies took the mother to a mental hospital. Shortly before her death, Alexandra rewrote her apartment for her daughter Tatyana, depriving Peter of his rightful share.

The residents of the house, who knew the Zavyalovs, say that the investigation has yet to figure out the legality of the fact of registration of a gift for the apartment for Tatyana’s daughter. Was Alexandra Semenovna adequate at the time of signing the agreement is unknown. The court found Peter Zavyalov guilty; a prison term of 8 years has been set for a maximum security colony.

It is difficult to judge who is guilty that the actress’s life has developed in this way. In the memory of connoisseurs of Soviet cinema, Alexandra Semenovna will remain an incredibly beautiful and talented actress.

Son Peter took the money, which the actress transferred as material assistance

The body of the honored actress of Russia Alexandra Zavyalova was discovered on February 3 in a St. Petersburg apartment.

The fact that the death of a woman is guilty of her own son, investigators did not immediately find out.

On February 7, 40-year-old Peter Zavyalov confessed: “He was drunk. A quarrel arose. He stabbed his mother. I don’t remember anything else ”

About how Zavyalova lived in recent years, MK was told by Evgeny LEONOV-GLADYSHEV - a popular actor, president of the Guild of Film Actors of St. Petersburg.

The last time I saw Shura about 15 years ago, - began Evgeny Borisovich, - The fact is that Alexandra Semenovna at some point so distanced herself from the outside world, from people that even I, a colleague in the theater, president of the public organization of the Guild of Film Actors of St. Petersburg , could not reach her. She did not want to communicate with anyone, much less to meet. In this case, I was powerless. All my attempts to bring her to people ended in failure. I tried several times to lobby her, invited me somewhere, but she did not give in to persuasion. I remember that she was even hiding from us, we were constantly looking for her. Such her behavior was not associated with age, now the actresses and her older ones work.

- With what?

At some point, she was on the sidelines - she was not removed, did not offer roles. Time was like that. Actors of the older generation were out of work. Zavyalova was not in demand, she was left without work, if you like, eked out a miserable existence. Well and then, she was seriously ill. I will not name the diagnosis, the issue is sensitive.

- It's no secret that she was undergoing prolonged treatment in a psychiatric clinic ...

I mean it. I would not want the diagnosis to sound out of my mouth. I respected Shura, loved. The first time I saw her, when I was 22 years old, I came as a boy to the theater, where she served. Then the premiere of "Shadows disappear at noon" has just passed. I was shocked by her beauty, absolutely impenetrable face. There were 172 people in the theater studio. We have always argued, debated, debated how to live, what to do, what concerts to play, who will go where. And only Alexandra Semenovna always sat silently.

- Did you somehow suggest that she make a creative evening at the cinema house?

Yes, I turned to her with such an offer, found sponsors, allocated a good platform. But she said: "I do not need this." As I did not persuade her, she flatly refused. Understand that Zavyalova was one of those actresses who did not walk along the corridors of the film studio and did not knock on the doors of film crews.

- Really, none of the directors in the last 30 years has offered Alexandra Zavyalova a single role?

There was nothing of the kind. Everyone just remembered her, admired: “Oh, recently showed the painting“ People on the Bridge ”, what Zavyalova is there!” I wanted to scream, so dial her phone, invite. No, by.

- When in her life came a turning point and she stopped working in the theater?

It's hard to remember now. The 80s were. I remember she just left the theater. It began with the fact that rumors circulated in the theater: "Alexandra Semenovna got sick." Often she was sick. Than? They didn’t speak out loud. But it's not that. At some point, Zavyalova deliberately distanced herself. I really did not know anything about her life. I heard that I need. And then our organization began sending her money, a little material help for medicines, products. I called Zavyalova home, but she never answered the phone. Her son Peter answered. He came to our office for an envelope. He signed in the statements, vowed to deliver money to my mother. Once I decided to check whether the amount reached the addressee. I contacted Shura. She was surprised: "No, no one brought me money." Then I seriously talked with Peter and realized that he should not be trusted.

- He drank heavily then?

That he was abusing, I learned a week ago. My friends said that Zavyalova’s daughter, Tatyana, decided to move her mother to her apartment in Gatchina, so that she would be supervised. Apparently, living with the son of the actress was already unbearable. It seems that the daughter took her mother to her. I don’t understand why Alexandra Semenovna came back?

- What money did Zavyalova live on?

For retirement, which amounted to no more than 12 thousand rubles. I heard that she was starving at one time. But I can not say. In any case, after her death, they called me from the Union of Cinematographers and said that they would raise money for the funeral of the great actress. So, there’s nothing to bury her for?

On February 3, a terrible tragedy erupted in St. Petersburg on the Vyborg side. In her apartment, the actress Alexandra ZAVYALOVA was killed. The very Pistimea from the movie “Shadows disappear at noon” was stabbed by his own son while intoxicated (the investigating authorities have already charged 40-year-old Petr ZAVYALOV with the murder of his mother and imprisoned him). The daughter of actress Tatyana, a St. Petersburg artist and designer, initially tried to hide the details of the bloody drama.

Tatyana’s lies everywhere, ”an employee of the St. Petersburg branch of the Union of Cinematographers blurted out in indignation Anna Tatarintseva. - Tanya came running to me all in tears, said that her mother died in her arms. And two hours after her departure, I learned about this terrible tragedy. Neighbors from the house opposite called us in the Union of Cinematographers and said that at 6 Gavrskaya, the actress was killed Alexandra Zavyalova. I immediately dialed her daughter's number. “Oh,” she wailed through her tears, “Anna Grigoryevna, I lied! Sorry, but I didn’t know how to tell that my brother killed my mother. He called me at night and admitted that he had done. My husband and I immediately got together and rushed to their apartment. Twenty minutes later, were already in place. Seeing my mother, I realized that doctors can only fix her death. Everything looked awful. Mom’s body was taken to the morgue, and Peter was immersed in a police bobik and sent to the department. ”

She never mentioned that her mother lives in terrible conditions (with her alcoholic son - M.S.Sh.) But we also have the opportunity to organize treatment, and determine if necessary, in the Nursing Home. We also responded to Tatyana’s request to help her with the funeral. The Union of Cinematographers wrote petitions to several cemeteries. As a result, a place was found on Smolensk. There, on Sunday, Alexander Semenovna Zavyalova was buried and buried. Bright memory to her!

TALENT BLINKED BRIGHTLY, BUT SHORTLY

Evgeny LEONOV-GLADYSHEV, ex-president of the Screen Actors Guild of St. Petersburg:

Alexandra Zavyalova, unfortunately, suffered from a serious illness. When relapse began, she disappeared for six to eight months, sometimes for a year. She said that the KGB was still watching her ... Somehow, we decided to give her a creative evening at the Cinema House. A full hall gathered, but she did not come ... Once I scolded her son: “Why don’t you help your mom? She sometimes simply starves. " He was silent. This is a strange young man without certain occupations ... I am sorry to tears to Alexandra Semenovna: her talent, like the Northern Lights, blazed brightly, but not for long.
