Armen Dzhigarkhanyan was predicted to have an unenviable fate. According to the representative of the artist’s young wife, in the event of a divorce, Dzhigarkhanyan will receive a hospice.

The hype around Armen Dzhigarkhanyan and his young wife Vitalina Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya does not subside. The journalists are divided into several groups: some are interviewing the artist who is in the hospital, others are pursuing his wife, and others are trying to get people from his close circle to talk.

Eg, Native sister Armen Dzhigarkhanyan Marina does not hide her sympathy for Vitalina. "An amazing woman, next to her he's like a stone wall Just. I’m incredibly glad that he found such a person who replaced everything for him, you know? She is a wife, a sister, a friend, and a nanny,” said a relative of the artist.

The sister noted the actor’s hot temperament and the fact that he was quite old and seriously ill. “If it weren’t for her, I don’t know what would have happened to Armen Borisovich. I’m far away, you know, I left and came. Someone should be nearby. He also had illnesses, who was nearby? There was Vitalina, who nursed him “, NTV quotes the actor’s sister.

However, after the divorce, if one does take place, Dzhigarkhanyan will be looked after by complete strangers. Vitalina Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya’s assistant Elina Mazur is sure of this. In a conversation with reporters, she was very categorical. “I want to say hello to all those people who are pitting Armen Borisovich against Vitalina. I ask them to think about it, because in the event of a divorce, he will simply end up in a hospice as a disabled person,” Mazur concluded.

Vitalina’s representative noted that this scandal had a bad impact on the actor’s wife. “Vitalina is in a faint state. She doesn’t eat anything, her temperature is 38.5. She can’t even sleep due to stress,” Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya’s assistant complained. Vitalina herself prefers not to discuss the events of her life with media representatives. privacy, which has now become public knowledge.

The only thing is that Vitalina expressed confidence that her husband was being set against her, and shared her hope that the situation would be resolved and she would finally be able to see her chosen one. But Dzhigarkhanyan himself is categorical. There is no question of any meeting.

“Before my eyes, she gradually turned into a monster,” the actor told reporters. Dzhigarkhanyan wants to quickly file for a divorce and break all ties with his young wife. “I will try to forget her for the rest of my life,” Armen said.

However, this is hardly possible, because the artist still has to sort out the matter with the property, which allegedly turned out to be transferred to Vitalina.

Artur Soghomonyan, a member of the theater’s artistic council, businessman and sponsor, and a close friend of the artist, told the editor-in-chief of the newspaper “Noah’s Ark” about truth and lies, Armen Dzhigarkhanyan and his theater.

— Arthur Arshamovich, do you think Vitalina Tsymbalyuk had a selfish interest in her relationship with Armen Borisovich or did she really fall in love?

“I witnessed their very first meeting.” They met at the premiere of one of our performances in Kyiv, I handed over the tickets myself, Armen Borisovich had a lot of fans and admirers in almost all the cities where we came with performances, nothing special happened then. In reality, she appeared in the life of Armen Borisovich in 2008-2009, when she moved from Kyiv to Moscow. From the first days of her appearance next to Armen Borisovich, her falseness was felt, this, of course, caused great concern among his friends. At that time, Armen Borisovich’s closest friend Nerses Oganesyan was alive, of course we were worried, but it was difficult to advise Armen Dzhigarkhanyan anything.

-Armen Borisovich’s magical instinct didn’t work in this case?

- It really is! Neither I, nor Armen Borisovich, can understand how we did not see much of what is happening now, how it was possible to have something in common with this person. Although Dzhigarkhanyan’s inner circle, of course, had long noticed Tsymbalyuk’s insincerity and commercialism, we could not even imagine that everything would reach such proportions! I won't talk about the details personal life Armen Borisovich, I’ll just say that most of what he talks about ex-wife has nothing in common with reality, there were no financial obligations, no lost years of youth. In my opinion, rather on the contrary, Armen Borisovich, as a very creative and deeply decent person, did not care much about the material side of many issues and left it to Vitalina. As Armen Borisovich himself says, he does not know how to trust half. She unceremoniously used his name, connections and funds. One of her main goals was, of course, the theater; she openly aspired to the position of director. And, unfortunately, she succeeded in the end.

I was lucky enough to create this theater together with Armen Borisovich, and I am still nearby. With all responsibility I can say that during the entire existence of our theater, there has not been a weaker and less professional director. Now, after her dismissal, the situation is confidently changing for the better, recruitment is underway new team, the theater is gaining momentum.

— And Armen Dzhigarkhanyan?

— Armen Borisovich actively got involved in the work.

Interviewed by Grigory Anisonyan

They walked down the aisle after 15 years of dating. Armen Dzhigarkhanyan it was 80 and Vitalina Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya— 36. Of course, gossips They predicted a short life for this union, but in the first months after the registry office it seemed that the newlyweds were happy. Everything changed a year later: National artist The USSR accused the newly-made wife of having robbed him completely, and he intends to sue, and Vitalina had previously filed a complaint with the police about the kidnapping of her husband, who was allegedly in an inadequate state. A romantic love story that began many years ago ended in a banal scandal and, apparently, is headed for divorce.

First meeting

The future spouses first met in 1994, when Dzhigarkhanyan was on tour in Kyiv. 15-year-old Vitalina approached the famous actor for an autograph, joining the impressive army of the artist’s fans: she read all of Armen Borisovich’s interviews, watched films with his participation, and attended performances. A closer acquaintance with the idol took place 6 years later. The girl gave Dzhigarkhanyan a note through her friend who worked in the theater. The actor called her and invited her to come to the dressing room for a cup of tea before the performance. The conversation between them developed from the first seconds. They were brought together by music: Vitalina studied piano at the conservatory, Armen Borisovich was well versed in classical music. But after a heartfelt conversation, they parted again and met only when the girl finally moved to Moscow.

Up the career ladder

In 2008, Dzhigarkhanyan invited Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya to become the head musical part in her theater, she selected the musical design for performances. Literally a year later, Armen Borisovich had a stroke. Although the actor was married then, he lived alone, since his wife Tatyana Vlasova by that time she was firmly established in America and practically never came to the capital. Dzhigarkhanyan often ate at the theater buffet and, like many others creative people, did not take care of my health. One day he forgot to take a drug that the doctor prescribed for him and ended up in a hospital bed. Then Vitalina took care of the artist into her own hands. After some time, Armen Borisovich returned to work in the theater and even went on stage in premiere performance"Theater of the Times of Nero and Seneca."

Attentive and...young

Vitalina said more than once in interviews that the romance between her and Dzhigarkhanyan did not begin immediately. There were too many obstacles on the way to family happiness: an impressive age difference, different social status. In addition, it was difficult for the famous actor to believe in the sincerity of the girl’s intentions. But Vitalina’s attention prevailed, and soon they became a real couple. The lovers were constantly together: at home, at work and at social events.

The more than 40-year age difference between Dzhigarkhanyan and his new passion, of course, gave rise to many rumors about the latter’s selfish plans. But one nuance cast doubt on the accusations of spiteful critics: Armen Borisovich was officially married to another woman, which means that if something happened, all his property would go to his legal wife. However, in 2016, the actor decided to put an end to his relationship with Tatyana Vlasova, which lasted almost fifty years, and marry Vitalina.

There might not have been a wedding

Dzhigarkhanyan proposed marriage at the premiere of “A Christmas Story” at the Mariinsky Theater in January 2016, and the wedding took place in February. As Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya said in one of her interviews, she proposed setting a registration date for March, since it was in this month that the couple met. However, Armen Borisovich told her that he could not wait that long.

On the eve of the wedding, the actor was hospitalized. Vitalina was not completely sure that the wedding would take place. But on day X, the loving groom ran away from the doctors and finally came to the registry office. The ceremony was modest, without lavish feasts and festivities. Having become husband and wife, the newlyweds went to the theater.

After the stamp

It seemed that Armen Borisovich’s family life was a real idyll. However, in October 2017, news appeared in the press that Dzhigarkhanyan was hiding from his young wife in the hospital, accusing her of theft and flatly refusing to let Vitalina into his room.

Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya herself interprets this unpleasant story differently. The woman claims that her husband is very ill and was abducted, and she did not know about his whereabouts for several days, so she contacted the police.

Friend of Dzhigarkhanyan Arthur Soghomyan, who helped the artist go to the hospital, claims that serious disputes arose between the spouses not only on financial grounds, because the girl allegedly transferred all her husband’s property to herself, but also on creative grounds. In 2015, Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya took the position general director"Moscow drama theater under the leadership of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan” and began to implement productions on his stage that her husband did not like. And when the scandal broke out, she even issued an order according to which Armen Borisovich was forbidden to cross the threshold of his own theater.

After Dzhigarkhanyan’s “escape”, the spouses do not communicate and, apparently, there is no point in talking about reconciliation of the parties, since Armen Borisovich announced his desire to divorce Vitalina and deprive her of her position. Alas, even the third marriage did not become truly happy for the actor.

Everything happens like in a bad, implausible melodrama, where everyone is overacting.

Revealed scandalous details conflict between Armen Dzhigarkhanyan and his young wife Vitalina Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya.

Not only did the legendary actor find himself without property and literally nowhere to go after being discharged from the hospital, but there is also a high probability that Vitalina will simply fire the artist from his own theater.

Armen Borisovich is 82 years old, Vitalina is 38.

Journalists spoke with Armen Dzhigarkhanyan's close friend, businessman Arthur Soghomonyan, who is now helping the artist who is in the hospital ("I am a close friend of Armen Borisovich. When he called and asked for help, another friend of ours, Hayrapet Oganesyan, and I did not stand aside.")

By the way, the actor ended up there for a reason.
Dzhigarkhanyan was very worried when he learned that his wife had released a “crude” performance, although she promised not to do so.

Then Soghomonyan asked the artist’s wife for a list of medications he needed, a passport and clothes.
However, Vitalina did not convey anything.
As a result, Dzhigarkhanyan’s phone number was changed and a new passport is now being issued.

“Vitalina greatly and deeply upset him.
Armen Borisovich wants to change the situation.
He’s tired of her lying all the time,” said a friend of the actor.
The relationship between the spouses has been upset for a long time. “Armen Borisovich is categorically determined to get a divorce. This is not today’s decision.
He is upset by what is happening to the theater: very unprofessional management and many strange facts.
Armen Borisovich called Sergei Sobyanin and asked that they check the theater for the entire period when Vitalina managed it,” Soghomonyan said.

According to Dzhigarkhanyan’s friend, some time ago Vitalina, taking advantage of the fact that the master was in the hospital with a stroke, began her life in the theater.

“The first thing I did was fire 11 actors from the theater, and these were the leading actors - Duzhnikov, Merzlikin, Kapustin...
These guys and Armen were 15 years old.
Naturally, they did not really perceive her as a leader.
But she continues to command there,” said Dzhigarkhanyan’s friend.

The most interesting thing is that, having come to power, Vitalina changed statutory documents, and now she can fire her husband, but he cannot fire her.
Moreover, according to Soghomonyan, the young wife made a firm decision to deprive her husband of his job.
“Vitalina has already sent a letter to the Ministry of Culture with a request to remove Armen Borisovich from his position due to his state of health,” said a friend of the actor.

In turn, Dzhigarkhanyan sent a letter to the theater in which he expressed no confidence in the management.
The message was read out to the entire troupe.
The artist intends to return to work in the near future.
“But purely legally, we will ask the Ministry of Culture to take action, because only they can appoint or remove directors,” Soghomonyan noted.

The current state of affairs can be explained simply - Armen Dzhigarkhanyan “had a lot of confidence” and is now worried and very disappointed.
“Vitalina took her mother, father, friends, and people not related to the theater to work.
Vitalina has three of her own companies that provide some services to the theater.
And we ask the prosecutor's office to conduct a financial audit.
Today the theater is in debt and is delaying tax payments.
Everything that concerns everyday issues, Vitalina is quite skilled in them.
I transferred all the accounts to myself, all the apartments.
Armen Borisovich took this calmly.
But when the theater produces half-finished performances one after another, and his name is on the posters, he could no longer stand it,” explained a friend of the actor.
All of Dzhigarkhanyan’s property is registered in the name of his young wife.
Moreover, according to a friend of the master, for a long time the artist felt the insincerity of Vitalina’s attitude.
“And we even convinced ourselves that maybe it would work out: Vitalina is nearby, giving him medicine, because he had a second stroke due to the fact that he forgot to take the drugs that were prescribed to him.
We saw great mercantile interests on her part.
And all the time there are some intrigues, showdowns, trials,” Soghomonyan said.

We are talking about two apartments, one of which was purchased during marriage.
The second has nothing to do with Vitalina, but, according to a friend of the artist, she insisted that Armen re-register it in her name.
By the way, lawyers representing the interests of Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya reported that she resold this apartment.
However, no one lives there.
As Soghomonyan said, “the resale is purely formal.”
Plus Dzhigarkhanyan has money in his account.

The artist’s friend emphasized that they do not want to sue and are ready to divide all the property in half.
“But she and her lawyers are building some schemes,” the man noted. Through him, Dzhigarkhanyan asked his wife to give him one apartment in exchange for everything else, but she refused.

As a result, when Armen Dzhigarkhanyan leaves the hospital, he has nowhere to go.
“We will be looking for an apartment to rent.
Thank God, he has friends and we will correct this situation, he will not have problems with housing or money.
You know, we were sitting in a friend’s kitchen and Armen said: imagine, I’m 82 years old, and have nowhere to go. How far have you lived,” quotes a friend of the master

The discord in the family of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan and Vitalina Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya became the scandal of the week.

From the lips of Armen Borisovich came: “She robbed me.” His personally or the state theater?.

Mind your own business

Vitalina herself does not communicate with the press. The Moscow Department of Culture has appointed a commission to find out what is really going on in Armen Dzhigarkhanyan’s theater. While they are sorting it out, Vitalina wrote a letter of resignation.

Yes, she arrived at night, collected some bags from the accounting department and left in a Mercedes,” one of the theater security guards told us. - I didn’t check the bags, she was still the director after all.

In 2005, Armen Borisovich hired the young pianist as an accompanist. Over the course of 10 years, she became the director of the theater and the official wife of the artistic director.

At first it was good girl Vitalina, but then she started minding her own business, she believes former artist based on the costumes of the theater directed by Armen Dzhigarkhanyan Margarita Cheres. “She suddenly decided that she could manage the whole theater. She fired half the people, including me, who worked with Armen Borisovich for more than twenty years. I sued, but lost. There are also Mikhail Barshchevsky’s lawyers, and Dzhigarkhanyan’s name to boot. It is no secret that he has been ill for many years and signed any paper at Vitalina’s request without even reading it.

I got my mom and dad into the theater

The theater has long understood that you have to go to Dzhiga (as Armen Borisovich is called behind his back in the troupe) through Vitalina. She fired some people and brought in her own. I even arranged for my relatives. Her mother Lidiya Ivanovna is the head of a sewing shop, and her father Viktor Vladimirovich is Chief Engineer. The team is confident: himself artistic director and now he doesn’t know that his mother-in-law and father-in-law work in his theater. Armen Borisovich in Lately and rarely appeared in the theater. Vitalina brought him “under the cameras.” Now Dzhigarkhanyan is in the hospital.

The theater is operating as normal,” press officer Maria Sementsova told us. - We consider what happened to be a personal family story. Bags from accounting?! It can not be so. Although, of course, Vitalina Viktorovna could take out her personal belongings. Her right. But the documents...

Why isn’t the amount of the annual state subsidy indicated on your theater’s website, although by law you are required to write this?

Yes, we have already received the corresponding instructions. We will indicate in the new year.

The responsibilities of the director were assigned to the deputy. The financial commission is starting to work, and at the same time (so they say on the sidelines of the Moscow Department of Culture) they are looking for a new artistic director.

I rented my husband's car at government expense

The “war” with Vitalina is being waged not by the sick Dzhigarkhanyan, but by some of his two “friends.” All week they rang about how the young wife “took over the apartments and cars” of Armen Borisovich and that when he left the hospital, he “would have nowhere to go.” The media only repeated this statement, and Sobesednik decided to check.

It turned out that the actor’s VAZ-21114, 2005. Vitalina did not rewrite, but rented on July 1, 2017 from own husband for half a year. At government expense, having drawn up an agreement in accordance with all the rules of a government contract. The spouse’s fee for use was set at 1 thousand rubles per day ( total amount contract - 184,000 rubles). And this, by the way, is not the only strange government contract concluded by Vitalina on behalf of the theater.

On August 15, 2017, general director Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya signed an agreement with pianist Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya for participation in performances. That is, with herself. Dzhigarkhanyan’s wife, who is called selfish, was modest: the contract amount was small - 110,000 rubles.

Mysterious “roommate” in an apartment on Arbat

What about the apartment? Vitalina owns housing in Krasnogorsk. She bought it before marriage. During their marriage, she and Dzhigarkhanyan purchased a three-ruble apartment on Rublevskoye Highway, spent a long time making repairs there and planned to move soon. And an 87-meter apartment in the elite Starokonyushenny Lane (Arbat) with a cadastral value of almost 30 million rubles, part of which she claimed in vain ex-wife actor (he also divorced her with scandal), is still registered to Armen Borisovich. True, only half. The second part was re-registered as Sfera LLC on August 17, 2017. Its founder and general director is businessman Yuri Rastegin, who previously became famous for erecting an illegal floor in another purchased apartment in the center of Moscow. The extension had to be demolished by court order. The “Interlocutor” asked the entrepreneur how his company appeared in Dzhigarkhanyan’s apartment.

Armen Borisovich himself sold this half to me. We are not friends with him, but we know each other, we have a common good friend - Nikas Safronov. I have one weakness - I am very sensitive to cultural figures. When Vitalina and Armen Borisovich admitted to me that they needed money - for the theater, for renovations - we found a solution in the form of selling a share of the apartment.

- Dzhigarkhanyan’s sister claims that he is inadequate...

The transaction was carried out by a notary. Understanding the significance of Dzhigarkhanyan’s figure, she not only invited two witnesses, but also filmed in case of claims. On the record, Armen Borisovich confirmed that he received part of the funds even before the transaction, which is valid according to goodwill... It was help on my part. I’m doing well in this life, and I’m not going to move into Dzhigarkhanyan’s apartment with my things.

- What do you think happened in the noble family?

For me, everything that is happening is a big shock. I understand perfectly well about the age difference, but from the outside this couple seemed harmonious to me. Vitalina devoted herself to the genius, blowing away specks of dust from him. She gave injections on time (Armen Borisovich has diabetes). He felt comfortable with her. Therefore, I believe that everything that is happening now is a consequence of several strokes, age and some kind of suggestion. Someone is slandering Vitalina. I don't believe she could let him down.
