Vladimir Novikov, who was considered one of the favorite disciples of Sergei Bondarchuk, in the Soviet years it was famous turbulent personal life. With his wife Elena, he was divorced 15 times, but after another argument they still came back to her.

66-year-old Vladimir Novikov has never strval their love Affairs. There were rumors that the actor has an affair with every attractive co-star on the set. All this, of course, did not like the wife of the artist Helena.

The passion in their relationship boiled serious. Still, only divorces the couple had 15. In the Studio of “the Destiny of man” Novikov remembered that at some point his wife began to treat the stamps in your passport as a joke.

“For us, this was a kind of game. 26 years of divorces and weddings. But we could always gather friends and relatives at the next holiday. Sometimes we get to the registry office, and local workers already roll their eyes. Begin to find out what happened. I will look in the record, and we are already divorced, what I said, “Okay, I’ll take it”. Now I do not remember what happened divorce. Lena I was jealous, she didn’t like the rumors about infidelity, illicit Affairs. But I’m an actor, I was always surrounded by beautiful women and stars” — shared memories of Novikov.

Vladimir really revolved in the company of the rich and famous. Back in 1977 he graduated from VGIK and became one of the first pupils of Sergei Bondarchuk. The competition in the Studio of the master were listening were 40 thousand people across the Soviet Union, and they chose only eight of the lucky ones.

Novikov was lucky to work with Vladimir Vysotsky. About it the actor recalls with incredible warmth, noting that the famous actor was a true professional.

“To the theatre often came Marina Vlady, it’s guarded, restricted. Yes, Volodya had some problems with alcohol, but he never allowed himself to work by degrees. He was a very serious man who believed that the viewer deserves to see the artist of the beautiful, in clean clothes, and sober-minded work,” — shared memories of Novikov.

One day, Vladimir Vasilyevich was lucky enough to meet a sex symbol of the XX century Gina Lollobrigida. According to star of the Soviet cinema, meeting with legendary Italian actress left him speechless.

Novikov always admired women’s beauty and could not pass up attractive ladies. Of course, it’s not like his wife Elena. Perhaps divorce on the ground of jealousy would be replaced with a wedding if the artist did not repent his Confessor.

“My spiritual mentor once said, that will be enough to play endless weddings. Then in 2007, Lena decided to get married, then our relationship changed, we became even closer. A year later, she was gone. It happened in the country. She felt bad, but we didn’t have time to help. Pressure had risen and my heart just could not withstand,” — said Novikov.

Vladimir and Elena have not had time to become parents. The actor admits: due to problems spouse health she hardly ever managed to get pregnant. But the darling son Andrew from a previous relationship he has raised as his own.

By the way, the ex-husband of Helena Roerich, who worked in the KGB, for many years, threatened violence to spouses, but even this has not destroyed the Union.

Now Novikov continues to play a movie. Yes, he is 66 years old, but age did not prevent the artist to achieve personal happiness. That is just about the new novel the actor prefers not to talk. “I made a lot of mistakes and burned when he made his personal life public. Now I do not want to comment on anything, but I am grateful to this person because she changed my career,” said Vladimir.

After the death of his wife, with whom he lived together 26 years of unforgettable, Novikov burned all photos of them together. So the actor tried to get rid of emotional pain. Now about that stage of her life, he does resemble that same endless cliches about weddings and divorces in the passport.
