The widow of Oleg Tabakov Marina Zudina said that the new artistic director of Tabakerka Vladimir Mashkov does not give her new roles. According to the actress, the director "pays her not to go on stage and just sit quietly," writes Gazeta.ru.
In March 2018, People's Artist of the USSR Oleg Tabakov passed away, and his student Vladimir Mashkov took the post of artistic director of Tabakerka. After the death of the director, his widow Marina Zudina practically lost her roles in the theater. According to the 55-year-old actress, she goes on stage 5-6 times a year with old performances, and in new productions she was not entrusted with a single role.
“I’m never offended, I don’t need to feel sorry for me, because I am a strong enough person,” said the People's Artist of Russia in the NTV show “Secret for a Million”.
She noted that she would be happy to get roles in new interesting productions. At the same time, Zudina is listed among the artists of the Oleg Tabakov Theater and receives a salary.
“It feels like I’m being paid a salary so that I do not go on stage and just sit quietly,” said the actress.

According to Zudina, she hardly communicates with Mashkov either on work or personal matters. The artist stressed that she has nothing against the new artistic director of "Tabakerka" and remembers his help during Tabakov's illness.
“It's not because he is a good or bad leader. Well, we don't communicate. Apparently, we simply have no reason to communicate, ”Zudina believes.
She also spoke about the beginning of a relationship with Tabakov. Before meeting Zudina, the artist lived for 35 years with his first wife Lyudmila Krylova. In this marriage, they had two children - restaurateur Anton Tabakov and actress Alexandra Tabakova. In the last years of his family life with Krylova, the director fell in love with the young actress of his theater.
“I didn't think about the fact that I was such an illegitimate wife. I was honest with others and with myself. I didn't want to take anyone away from the family. I think that my wife guessed it, - admitted Zudina. - I never discussed. This is their relationship. "
The actress noted that "she was not going to destroy anything" and "did not want to be the wife of Oleg Pavlovich," because she always dreamed of a husband about her age.
“It was just the circumstances that suited me ...” - Zudina admitted.
The actress added that, being Tabakov's mistress, she sometimes felt jealous of his official wife. When the artist brought her slippers from Turkey, and Krylova brought a more expensive gift, Zudina was "hurt like a child."
In 1994, Tabakov divorced his first wife, and a year later he married Zudina. Six months after the marriage, they had a son, Pavel, known to the audience for his roles in the TV series Call Center, Ekaterina. Impostors "," Unprincipled "and others. In 2006, the couple had a daughter, Maria. Now she is in the eighth grade, and in her free time she enjoys drawing and cooking.
On the subject: The son of Oleg Tabakov told for the first time how he survived from the theater founded by his father
On the air of NTV, Zudina told why Tabakov bequeathed to her, Pavel and Maria 30 acres with a house in the Kino village, a car and three apartments, and left the children from his first marriage without inheritance.
“The will is really only me, Marusya and Pasha. Oleg Pavlovich knew that his son Anton was a self-sufficient and successful person. We were more vulnerable, Oleg Pavlovich wanted to protect us, ”the actress explained.
According to Zudina, the lack of roles in "Snuffbox" and quarantine did not greatly affect her financial situation due to the money left by her husband. Their 25-year-old son lives in an apartment donated by his parents and provides for himself.
