Stepan Dzhigrakhanyan. Biography

Stepan Armenovich Dzhigarkhanyan (Stepan Vlasov) - was born on January 17, 1966 and was raised in a creative environment. His mother, Tatyana SergeevnaVlasova, - actress, and later - teacher of Russian at the Institute of Dallas, Texas. She lives in the USA.

The boy’s biological father was the director of the theater in which Vlasova played. At the time of meeting Armen Dzhigarkhanyan(“God’s smile, or a purely Odessa story”, “Grandfather of my dreams”, “Poor Sasha”, “Shirley-myrli”, “The weather is good on Deribasovskaya, or It’s raining on Brighton Beach again”, “Treasure Island”) the boy was one year, and he lived in Novosibirsk with his grandmother. When Armen Borisovich entered the service in Lenkom and was given an apartment in Moscow on Malaya Gruzinskaya Street, Tatyana moved her son to the capital. Dzhigarkhanyan adopted Stepan.

In 1988, Stepan Armenovich graduated from the Faculty of International Journalism of Moscow State University. In 1989-1994 he lived in the USA.

For 18 years Dzhigarkhanyan hid from journalists, changing cities and countries - USA, Ecuador, Colombia, Honduras, Panama - and avoiding famous father. But scandalous story relations 82-year-old Armen Dzhigarkhanyan and his young wife forced him to break his silence.

Stepan Dzhigarkhanyan. Scandal with Vitalina Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya

51-year-old Stepan Dzhigarkhanyan gave an interview to the NTV channel, where the show “New Russian Sensations” was broadcast spoke frankly about the family scandal. The man is determined. So, about Vitalin he says the following: “The girl was playing a little, she had already confused the shores. Quietly rejoice that you pulled it off this way. This is her mistake: she confused Rams a little, as they said in the 90s. I didn’t understand the balance – with whom it is possible, with whom it is not possible. Because there are holy things. If you are so smart, so cunning, have achieved everything, drive around in a Mercedes, have an apartment here, an apartment there, well, for God’s sake. But to encroach on the sacred!..” Stepan Armenovich is sure that Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya with a folk artist at her side, she could not operate alone at her own peril and risk.

The scandalous story of the divorce of 82-year-old Armen Dzhigarkhanyan and 36-year-old Vitalina Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya at the end of November came to its logical conclusion. The magistrate's court district No. 202 of the Kuntsevo district in Moscow satisfied the actor's claim for divorce and dissolved the artists' marriage. The son of Armen Borisovich Stepan Dzhigarkhanyan commented on the situation on the air of the “Let Them Talk” program, saying that he does not lay claim to the inheritance and asked not to be drawn into the story of his father’s divorce from Vitalina.

“I’m not going to fight or participate in these squabbles for the inheritance. Therefore, I did not appear from the very beginning and I do not intend to participate in this. This is my answer regarding the inheritance,” said Stepan Dzhigarkhanyan.

Also, the actor’s son hastened to respond to Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya’s loud accusation. Once she allowed herself to casually mention that she knew that Stepan Dzhigarkhanyan allegedly killed a man. The actor’s heir was outraged by such a statement. “Thank God she’s from another world and I won’t do that. But someday she will run into a person who will not just leave such things and will say: “Justify it!” And this will be a very dangerous situation for her... You must always weigh what you say,” said Dzhigarkhanyan Jr..

After his divorce from Vitalina Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya, Armen Dzhigarkhanyan decided to resume communication with the heir and invited him to Russia. On December 25, father and son met for the first time in a long time in the studio of the talk show “Let Them Talk” and discussed all the issues. It turned out that during a meeting in the theater, Stepan received a certain document from Armen Borisovich, and in the talk show it finally became known which one it was. It turns out that the People's Artist of the USSR decided to make a generous gift to Stepan's mother: he renounced claims to ex-wife Tatyana Vlasova, who were connected with money from the sale of their common American home.

On January 30, Stepan Dzhigarkhanyan met for the first time with Vitalina Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya. Stepan Dzhigarkhanyan asked why Vitalina said during one of the interviews that her father allegedly did not want to communicate with him, because Stepan had once committed an accident in the States with fatal, and Armen Borisovich had to buy him back for a lot of money. Vitalina began to justify herself that she had not said such a thing, despite the video clip that was immediately shown. Dzhigarkhanyan’s son also raised the topic of statements that Vitalina wrote against his mother Tatyana Vlasova.

Dzhigarkhanyan noticed that Vitalina speaks very fluently, turns everything around, and this monologue is almost impossible to interrupt. “You are generally a unique person. For me, you are generally a representative of border psychiatry,” came from Stepan.

I have no right to accuse anyone and shoot with all guns without documents in my hands, besides, the person is not here now,” Stepan added.

“We were like a family. I can’t say that Armen Borisovich is one of those who lisp on the floor, collects construction sets. He was always in art. He treated his daughter the same way, I didn’t see the difference between the attitude towards me and Lena (Dzhigarkhanyan’s biological daughter from his marriage to Tatyana Vlasova). And we grew up together. We went outdoors together on weekends,” said Stepan.

Both had one marriage behind them, from which they already had children. But it was not possible to give birth together, despite 40 years life together. Formally, the marriage lasted about half a century. So, more details.

A little biography

Armen Borisovich's acquaintance with actress Tatyana Sergeevna Vlasova took place at the Yerevan Russian Drama Theater named after K. Stanislavsky, where she worked as a cast member. By education, Tatyana was a theater expert and actress, which, by the way, she dreamed of since childhood. Her date of birth is 1943, January 5th.

It is known that she worked as an actress in Kaliningrad (1964), and then in Yerevan. She married a director and gave birth to a son, Stepan, but the relationship between the spouses did not work out.

Armen Borisovich at that time was raising his daughter Elena from civil marriage with Alla Vannovskaya, an actress of the same theater. This relationship began with passion, but then the woman began to be tormented by pathological jealousy, which turned out to be associated with hereditary mental disorder. She died in a specialized clinic in 1966.

Meeting Dzhigarkhanyan

The first meeting of the future husband and wife took place near the stage. Actress Tatyana Vlasova stood and smoked, and for some reason Dzhigarkhanyan drew attention to her beautiful hands and graceful fingers. The woman shared that she was depressed. And the actor recommended that she... fall in love. Over time, their communication became more and more close and sincere, and one day Tatyana Sergeevna admitted that she followed the artist’s advice: she fell in love... with him.

In 1967, Dzhigarkhanyan was invited to Lenkom by the famous director A. Efros. Tatyana Sergeevna and little Lenochka went to Moscow with the artist. At first, the woman left her son in Krasnoyarsk, since she had to live in a small basement near the theater.

In Moscow, the couple got married, and Armen Borisovich put a ring that he inherited from his grandmother on his bride’s finger. And when the family finally got an apartment on Arbat, Stepan was also taken to Moscow.

Creative activity

Two years later, Dzhigarkhanyan left Lenkom for the theater. Mayakovsky, where he worked for 25 years. He became a very popular artist not only on stage, but also in cinema. In 1989, he was invited to teach at VGIK, but how did Tatyana Vlasova, an actress, realize herself? In her youth, she played in only two films, completely devoting herself to her talented husband and family.

In 1977, she got a small episode in the film “We Came to a Chef Competition.” And three years later, together with her husband, she starred in the film “Flight Begins from the Ground” by Armenian directors N. Oganesyan and R. Khostikyan. The action of the domestic drama took place at the airport, where, at the invitation of the boss, a front-line friend arrives to help restore order. In the two-part film, Vlasova plays a small role of Tanya.

Children

If actress Tatyana Vlasova, whose filmography includes only two films, did not succeed, then she probably succeeded as the wife of a talented artist, because Dzhigarkhanyan’s demand is impressive. In 1996, he created his own theater, in which Tatyana Sergeevna worked as his assistant for some time. There were two children in the family. But in 1987, Lena passed away, and for Armen Borisovich this became a tragedy. For the death of his 23-year-old daughter, who died on the eve of the Sunset premiere, he blames himself exclusively.

Tatyana Sergeevna was in Norway, where the couple planned to meet New Year. There she received the news that her stepdaughter and her young man had suffocated in a car. Before the premiere, Armen Borisovich was in nervous excitement and did not properly accept his daughter's beau. Lena was offended and left with him. It was a cold December day, and in the garage they turned on the engine to warm up...

After the funeral, the actor played the premiere, but the wound in his heart remained for life.

Stepan also turned out to be a difficult teenager, who at the age of 15 asked for political asylum in Belgium. He graduated from Moscow State University, lived in the USA, then returned to Moscow. His stepfather hired the guy into his theater, gave him his last name, but he began to turn the troupe against the artistic director. Dzhigarkhanyan had to fire the actors, after which Stepan worked as a model for some time and starred with Armen Borisovich in feature film about Don Quixote. But this is their only joint project.

Departure for the USA

In 1998, a lot changed in the life of the Dzhigarkhanyan family. On the recommendation of then-President Yeltsin, Armen Borisovich and his wife Tatyana Vlasova, an actress, received a green card in the United States. This was a gesture from the first person of the country to an artist who has enormous services to the country.

With the money raised from the sale of a dacha (village Mendeleevo) and a garage, Dzhigarkhanyan purchased a house in Dallas, which at that time was quite inexpensive. Armen Borisovich sent his other half to build the family nest. At first, 57-year-old Tatyana Sergeevna couldn’t be happier: favorable climate, clean streets, friendly atmosphere. Dzhigarkhanyan visited his wife every year, and during his visits the question was always discussed when he would finally find a successor in the theater and move to the States.

In those years, Armen Borisovich himself hardly played on stage, but acted a lot in films. Perhaps the actor, in demand in his homeland, dreamed of Hollywood, but it soon became clear that they would recognize him overseas only among emigrants, and for a career in cinema you need knowledge in English, which he did not own. The actress Tatyana Vlasova herself, whose biography is described in the article, was forced to work outside her specialty: she taught local children Russian and staged plays for them. By at will the woman gave tours at the local art museum for Russian-speaking tourists.

She almost never went out on her own because the cat Phil lived in the house. This was Armen Dzhigarkhanyan’s favorite, which he spoke about more than once in interviews. When Phil became seriously ill at the age of 18, the famous artist came from Russia to say goodbye to his dying pet.

Crucial moment

Everything changed in 2009. Actress Tatyana Vlasova, whose personal life is being discussed in all media today, was waiting for her husband in Dallas. According to established tradition, Armen Borisovich himself usually called, but the call did not come at the expected time. As Tatyana Sergeevna managed to find out, he had a second stroke. She immediately came to Moscow, but her husband did not want to see her at her hospital bed. He promised to inform when the meeting would be possible. But the woman, connected with the great artist by a 40-year joint history, never got to talk face to face.

At the same time, Tatyana Sergeevna does not deny that Armen Borisovich supported her financially all the time. At the expense of his funds, she paid utility bills and taxes, and made repairs. At his request, in March 2015, his wife finally returned to Moscow, selling her house in Dallas. National artist I wanted to get a divorce and formalize a new relationship with Vitalina Tsymbalyuk.

Vlasova appeared in Moscow in April, but until June, when they were officially divorced, Dzhigarkhanyan did not find the time or opportunity to meet her. Tatyana Sergeevna stayed in an apartment on Starokonyushennaya Street, which is joint shared ownership. To resolve property issues and determine her own destiny, the woman tried to meet her husband at the theater. But he didn’t even seem to recognize her. And at the police station there was a statement from Vitalina Tsymbalyuk about her threats against the People’s Artist.

What does Tatyana Sergeevna dream about?

Today, the ex-wife of Armen Borisovich would like to live out her life in an apartment on Arbat, while keeping the money received for the house in the USA. Her pension is just over 8 thousand, so an amount of 137 thousand dollars could significantly brighten up the woman’s lonely existence. She considers this fair, considering that once in her youth she abandoned her own career, devoting herself to her family.

In one of the TV programs, Vlasova admitted that she dreamed, as in last years life she feeds the sick Dzhigarkhanyan from a spoon. Can such a prophecy come true? Today everyone knows the conflict that broke out between Armen Borisovich and Vitalina. At 82 years old, the proud Armenian man is not ready to forgive the deception and dubious property transactions behind his back. He for a long time he preferred to live in the dressing room, but not in the apartment, bought and renovated by Vitalina with his money, but registered in her name.

It is known that the friends of the great artist bought him a place to live, because the dressing room is not the most convenient place to live. Due to the conflict, everyone began to forget about Stepan, the son of actress Tatyana Vlasova, who lives in the USA. In one of the interviews, the woman said that he has his own life and she has no right to count on his help.

Instead of a conclusion

Currently, the country is in a fever from the conflict that Dzhigarkhanyan had with his third wife. The press is happy to ask his ex-wife for comments. Tatyana Vlasova, an actress who abandoned her own career for the sake of her loved one, of course, feels abandoned. But she finds the courage to admit that she did not immediately understand that at a certain age it was necessary to support each other more and help if one of the two stumbled.

Already two months scandalous divorce 82-year-old Armen Dzhigarkhanyan and his 38-year-old wife Vitalina Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya are in the center of public attention. The names of the famous artist’s Armenian friends also run through this story.

The correspondent spoke with best friend Armen Dzhigarkhanyan for almost 60 years, a film director, film expert living in Moscow, and also the author of the first book about the Armenian actor Levon Grigoryan.

Mr. Grigoryan, I know that you had a fairly close relationship with Armen Dzhigarkhanyan, you are one of his old friends. Have you seen him in the last year and a half?

You are right, at one time we were very close friends, hundreds of times I spent the night at their house. When a book was to be written about him, he said: only Levon should write it, because he knows everything about me. But in the last 2-3 years we communicate very rarely, we can say that I have no connection with him.

- You were friends for more than half a century, what caused the breakup?

Our relationship ended without any reason, incident or quarrel. Probably over the last three years we see each other once a year, and only if there is some general event... I don’t know, apparently he has changed, and I may have cooled down.

Some say that Vitalina protected her husband from communicating with Armenian friends, from this environment. Maybe your relationship has become cool thanks to her efforts?

To some extent, yes, there is such a thing... I think I am not the only old friend from whom he has distanced himself. But you know, Armen now has Armenian friends whom I don’t know. We were so close in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, but this is the first time I’ve heard about these friends, even if I meet them on the street, I won’t recognize that this is Armen’s friend... In recent years, there have been no sincere conversations between me and him. The pleasure that I got in my time listening to him was not there. And he was a real phenomenon, in life he was Socrates - the wise...

Were your families also close? By the way, what is your opinion about his current wife Vitalina Tsymbalyuk, was she a caring wife?

Yes, I know his two former wives very well. The first wife, Alla Vannovskaya, was one of the best actresses of the Russian Drama Theater; after the birth of her daughter, she had mental problems, could go out into the street in a dirty dressing gown. She was placed in mental asylum, then she died. She and Armen had a daughter, Lena, who in 1987, at the age of 23-24, died in a garage with her boyfriend, poisoned by carbon dioxide in the car.

Armen's second wife is Tatyana Vlasova. I know her very well, she now lives in the USA... I also know Armen’s mother very well, who always talked about her grief - tragic fate Armena... As for Vitalina, I communicated with her, but rarely. The time of the meeting with Armen and the visit to his home had to be coordinated through Vitalina.

- Did you expect such a development in the relationship between Armen Dzhigarkhanyan and Vitalina Tsymbalyuk?

In recent years, one of the common friends who continued to communicate with Armen was film director and screenwriter Nerses Hovhannisyan, who passed away last year. Nerses told me: Armen has changed, it’s very difficult with him now. And Vitalina is a very caring, attentive girl, he needs someone like that... But I don’t know what happened now, in all cases, there is no smoke without fire. If such clever man how Armen is angry and does not forgive, makes similar accusations, it means there is a reason for this.

A few days ago, Armen Dzhigarkhanyan’s stepson, Stepan Dzhigarkhanyan, who now lives in Las Vegas, gave an interview to the NTV channel. Do you know Stepan, what was the relationship between father and son?

In fact, Stepan's biological father is the artistic director of the State Russian Drama Theater named after K. Stanislavsky, Alexander Grigoryan, who, unfortunately, recently left us.

Stepan's mother - Armen's second wife - Tatyana Vlasova, who, as I said, now lives and works in the USA, was the wife of Sasha Grigoryan, they have no children with Armen... At a young age, Armen accepted him as own son, but as he grew older, their relationship changed. Armen was very dissatisfied with his son, did not accept him, and now his appearance was unexpected for me...

Stepan in his last interview said that his father (Armen Dzhigarkhanyan - author) at one time accused him of playing in a casino.

Yes, it happened. He was not a successful son, it was unpleasant to communicate with him as a person...

- How did it happen that Stepan bore the last name Dzhigarkhanyan, and not Grigoryan?

Because this is a more famous surname and for him - more useful, so to speak, business card. He did not keep in touch with his own father. The mother, Tanya, is to blame for this; she did not allow her son to communicate with Sasha.

Mr. Grigoryan, although you have not been close in recent years, your old friend is now in the hospital. Would you like to visit him and inquire about his health?

I would really like to see him, but his life now resembles a real detective story in which I don’t want to participate. He hides, avoids everyone, he didn’t even want to see his own sister. We will definitely meet when everything calms down...
