Initially she taught at the Maimonides Jewish Academy at the Faculty of World Studies musical culture, and then director Vladimir Yachmenev recommended her to the Dzhigarkhanyan Theater.

An excerpt characterizing the Moscow Drama Theater under the direction of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan

When Anna Mikhailovna left with her son to visit Count Kirill Vladimirovich Bezukhy, Countess Rostova sat alone for a long time, putting a handkerchief to her eyes. Finally, she called.
“What are you talking about, dear,” she said angrily to the girl, who made herself wait for several minutes. – Don’t you want to serve, or what? So I'll find a place for you.
The countess was upset by the grief and humiliating poverty of her friend and therefore was out of sorts, which she always expressed by calling the maid “dear” and “you.”
“It’s your fault,” said the maid.
- Ask the Count to come to me.
The Count, waddled, approached his wife with a somewhat guilty look, as always.
- Well, countess! What a saute au madere [sauté in Madeira] will be from hazel grouse, ma chere! I tried; It’s not for nothing that I gave a thousand rubles for Taraska. Costs!
He sat down next to his wife, resting his arms bravely on his knees and ruffling his gray hair.
- What do you order, Countess?
- So, my friend, what is it that you have dirty here? - she said, pointing to the vest. “It’s sote, that’s right,” she added, smiling. - That's it, Count: I need money.
Her face became sad.
- Oh, Countess!...
And the count began to fuss, taking out his wallet.
“I need a lot, Count, I need five hundred rubles.”
And she, taking out a cambric handkerchief, rubbed her husband’s vest with it.
- Now. Hey, who's there? - he shouted in a voice that only people shout when they are sure that those they are calling will rush headlong to their call. - Send Mitenka to me!
Mitenka, that noble son raised by the count, who was now in charge of all his affairs, entered the room with quiet steps.
“That’s it, my dear,” said the count to the respectful young man who entered. “Bring me…” he thought. - Yes, 700 rubles, yes. But look, don’t bring anything torn and dirty like that time, but good ones for the countess.
“Yes, Mitenka, please, keep them clean,” said the countess, sighing sadly.
- Your Excellency, when will you order it to be delivered? - said Mitenka. “If you please know that... However, please don’t worry,” he added, noticing how the count had already begun to breathe heavily and quickly, which was always a sign of beginning anger. - I forgot... Will you order it to be delivered this minute?
- Yes, yes, then, bring it. Give it to the countess.
“This Mitenka is such gold,” the count added, smiling, when the young man left. - No, it’s not possible. I can't stand this. Everything is possible.
- Oh, money, count, money, how much grief it causes in the world! - said the countess. - And I really need this money.
“You, countess, are a well-known reel,” said the count and, kissing his wife’s hand, he went back into the office.
When Anna Mikhailovna returned again from Bezukhoy, the countess already had money, all in brand new pieces of paper, under a scarf on the table, and Anna Mikhailovna noticed that the countess was disturbed by something.
- Well, what, my friend? – asked the Countess.
- Oh, what a terrible situation he is in! It is impossible to recognize him, he is so bad, so bad; I stayed for a minute and didn’t say two words...
“Annette, for God’s sake, don’t refuse me,” the countess suddenly said, blushing, which was so strange considering her middle-aged, thin and important face, taking money out from under her scarf.
Anna Mikhailovna instantly understood what was happening, and already bent down to deftly hug the countess at the right moment.
- Here's to Boris from me, to sew a uniform...
Anna Mikhailovna was already hugging her and crying. The Countess cried too. They cried that they were friends; and that they are good; and that they, friends of youth, are busy with such a low subject - money; and that their youth had passed... But the tears of both were pleasant...

Countess Rostova with her daughters and already with a large number guests were sitting in the living room. The Count led the male guests into his office, offering them his hunting collection of Turkish pipes. Occasionally he would go out and ask: has she arrived? They were waiting for Marya Dmitrievna Akhrosimova, nicknamed in society le terrible dragon, [a terrible dragon,] a lady famous not for wealth, not for honors, but for her directness of mind and frank simplicity of manner. I knew Marya Dmitrievna royal family, all of Moscow and all of St. Petersburg knew, and both cities, surprised by her, secretly laughed at her rudeness and told jokes about her; nevertheless, everyone without exception respected and feared her.
In the office, full of smoke, there was a conversation about the war, which was declared by the manifesto, about recruitment. No one had read the manifesto yet, but everyone knew about its appearance. The Count was sitting on an ottoman between two neighbors who were smoking and talking. The count himself did not smoke or speak, but tilting his head, now to one side, now to the other, looked with visible pleasure at those smoking and listened to the conversation of his two neighbors, whom he pitted against each other.
One of the speakers was a civilian, with a wrinkled, bilious and shaved thin face, a man already approaching old age, although dressed like the most fashionable young man; he sat with his feet on the ottoman with the air of a domestic man and, throwing amber far into his mouth from the side, impulsively inhaled the smoke and squinted. It was the old bachelor Shinshin, the countess's cousin, evil tongue, as they talked about him in Moscow living rooms. He seemed to condescend to his interlocutor. Another, fresh, pink, guards officer, impeccably washed, buttoned up and combed, held amber in the middle of his mouth and lightly pulled out smoke with his pink lips, releasing it in ringlets from his beautiful mouth. This was Lieutenant Berg, an officer of the Semenovsky regiment, with whom Boris rode together in the regiment and with whom Natasha teased Vera, the senior countess, calling Berg her fiancé. The Count sat between them and listened attentively. The most enjoyable activity for the Count, with the exception of the game of Boston, which he loved very much, was the position of listening, especially when he managed to pit two talkative interlocutors against each other.
“Well, of course, father, mon tres honorable [most venerable] Alfons Karlych,” said Shinshin, laughing and combining (which was the peculiarity of his speech) the most popular Russian expressions with refined French phrases. - Vous comptez vous faire des rentes sur l "etat, [You expect to have income from the treasury,] do you want to receive income from the company?
- No, Pyotr Nikolaich, I just want to show that cavalry has much less benefits against infantry. Now figure out, Pyotr Nikolaich, my situation...
Berg always spoke very precisely, calmly and courteously. His conversation always concerned himself alone; he always remained calmly silent while they were talking about something that had nothing directly to do with him. And he could remain silent in this way for several hours without experiencing or causing the slightest confusion in others. But as soon as the conversation concerned him personally, he began to speak at length and with visible pleasure.
- Consider my position, Pyotr Nikolaich: if I were in the cavalry, I would receive no more than two hundred rubles a third, even with the rank of lieutenant; and now I get two hundred and thirty,” he said with a joyful, pleasant smile, looking at Shinshin and the count, as if it was obvious to him that his success would always be main goal the desires of all other people.
“Besides, Pyotr Nikolaich, having joined the guard, I am visible,” Berg continued, “and vacancies in the guards infantry are much more frequent.” Then, figure out for yourself how I could make a living out of two hundred and thirty rubles. “And I’m putting it aside and sending it to my father,” he continued, starting the ring.
“La balance y est... [The balance is established...] A German is threshing a loaf of bread on the butt, comme dit le proverbe, [as the proverb says],” Shinshin said, shifting the amber to the other side of his mouth and winked at the count.
The Count burst out laughing. Other guests, seeing that Shinshin was talking, came up to listen. Berg, not noticing either ridicule or indifference, continued to talk about how, by transferring to the guard, he had already won a rank in front of his comrades in the corps, how in war time a company commander can be killed, and he, remaining senior in the company, can very easily become a company commander, and how everyone in the regiment loves him, and how his daddy is pleased with him. Berg apparently enjoyed telling all this, and did not seem to suspect that other people might also have their own interests. But everything he told was so sweetly sedate, the naivety of his young egoism was so obvious that he disarmed his listeners.

Armen Dzhigarkhanyan's divorce from Vitalina Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya is scheduled for November 9, 2017. For several weeks now, the news hasn't stopped commenting on the breakup. star couple. Journalists found out that on October 10, Armen Dzhigarkhanyan was admitted to the hospital in a moderate condition, without documents, and from there he announced that he was going to divorce his 38-year-old wife.

At the same time, Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya’s entourage insists that the artist was set up against his young wife by “third parties.” The other day ex-wife Dzhigarkhanyan Tatyana Vlasova reported that Vitalina wrote a statement against her to the police, accusing her of threats. Nevertheless, Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya told reporters that she hopes to explain herself to her husband and resolve the conflict.

In November, news appeared that was sad for the entire theater under the direction of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan and his fans. According to media reports, the theater may be dissolved because, according to its image, creative team The scandal between Dzhigarkhanyan and his wife Vitalina Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya was seriously affected. It is reported that computers and documentation were removed from the theater, and the highest-grossing performances were removed from the repertoire.

Moscow police opened a criminal case after a complaint from theater and film actor Armen Dzhigarkhanyan, who reported the theft of his passport. About it RIA News said a law enforcement source.

Armen Dzhigarkhanyan himself, who announced his intention to divorce Vitalina Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya, who served as the director of his theater, promised that he would invite back everyone who is for last years was fired or quit because of Vitalina.

“This woman made a mess in the theater, I intend to correct the situation,” the master made a statement.

Have you already been offered to return? - we asked Dana Nazarova a question. The actress, who served in Dzhigarkhanyan’s theater for eight years, broke up ugly - she gave birth to a child, and the contract with her was not renewed.

Haven't called yet. I won’t go to Armen Borisovich with this question. I feel uncomfortable, he has a lot of problems even without me now, including health problems. But if he himself either new director If they invite me, I will certainly return to the theater with pleasure.

The People's Artist himself now assures that his wife hid from him almost all the information about the true state of affairs in the theater. She said about the fired artists (to whom she literally showed the door) that they were leaving of their own free will.

For example, about Armen Borisovich’s favorite Alexei Shevchenkov, she said that he intended to go to Oleg Tabakov. Dzhigarkhanyan was terribly angry with his artists, considered them traitors...

But I didn’t understand what was happening: earlier Armen Borisovich said that I was a wonderful artist, one of the best in his theater, he called me “baby” - and suddenly the contract was not renewed. Now I understand that he simply did not know what was really happening; he was given distorted information,” says Nazarova.

Why does she need all this? It’s very simple: reduce the troupe and instead dramatic performances put on their own musical ones, which is what Vitalina did. After all, every performance is a means of earning money, says another woman fired by Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya, costume designer Margarita Cheres.

Unlike Nazarova, she does not intend to return to the Dzhigarkhanyan Theater. Even if they beg.

I serve in a very worthy place - the Musical Theater. And happy!

Former artists of the troupe act in films, play in enterprises and are generally satisfied with their lives: Alexey Shevchenkov, Elena Ksenofontova, Stas Duzhnikov, and many others. Will they come back? Unlikely.

Armen Borisovich himself is to blame for everything, says Margarita Cheres. - They told him, and smart people, that Vitalina was deceiving. But he waved it off. He renounced everyone who had served him faithfully for many years. And now the reckoning has come.

Meanwhile, from the inside the theater split in two. Some support the ex-director, assuring that “she did everything for the theater and for the sake of Armen Borisovich.” Others hiss that “that’s what she needed: there was nothing to intrigue.”

Today it became known about raider takeover buildings of the Moscow Drama Theater. As the representative of the wife of People's Artist of the USSR Armen Dzhigarkhanyan Elina Mazur told the 360 ​​TV channel, the theater was seized by an “Armenian group.” The entire management has been removed, the accounting department has been seized, and Dzhigarkhanyan himself is “sitting locked in his office without telephones.” The representative of Dzhigarkhanyan’s wife did not provide any other details.

Armen Borisovich believes that he is surrounded by idiots and vile individuals

Armen Borisovich believes that he is surrounded by idiots and vile individuals

Several popular Moscow theaters opened the next season without their previous directors. “Taganka” - without Yuri LYUBIMOV, Stanislavsky Theater - without Alexander GALIBIN, “Mayakovka” - without Sergei ARTSIBASHEV. The departure of these masters was preceded by noisy conflicts with the artists. Express Newspaper became aware of a new rapidly growing scandal. This time in a team headed by Armen DZHIGARKHANYAN. And if you believe the dissatisfied members of the troupe, the woman is to blame for everything - the current favorite of the 75-year-old elder.

A couple of years ago she got a job with us Vitalina Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya, - said the wards Dzhigarkhanyan. - She was offered to become an accompanist in the Ali Baba project, after working on which, she decided to continue working under the wing of Armen Borisovich. It was noticeable: he favors Vitalina. Brave, decisive, not shy to express her opinion, and this despite the fact that she is not even 30.

According to our informants, Dzhigarkhanyan had previously tried to tenderly patronize the young employees he liked. But they often gently made it clear that they were not ready for an affair with the artistic director. They say that he is married and it is not appropriate to start an affair, even if the master’s wife lives in the USA almost constantly. Armen Borisovich nodded his head, but then slyly remarked:

I gave my word to my friend - the famous doctor, academician Badalyan, what if the time will come, when I can’t love women, I’ll die right there. Discussing this, the girls giggled among themselves, saying that it would hardly be better if famous actor and the director will die in their arms. Tea, not a boy anymore.

But Vitalina was not afraid of the difficulties, they say in the theater. - On the contrary, she herself fought with redoubled force for Dzhigarkhanyan’s attention. And at the same time as his sympathy grew, the appetites of the “garden girl” also increased.

As we found out, the owner beautiful surname Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya, came to conquer Moscow from Ukraine. At first she taught at the Maimonides Jewish Academy at the Faculty of World Musical Culture. And then the director Vladimir Yachmenev recommended her to the Dzhigarkhanyan Theater.

Fetid cesspool

IN Lately Armen Borisovich's favorite began to take on more and more important questions, - the artists assure. “No one has any doubts that an ordinary employee of the sound department, who quickly managed to compose the musical repertoire of performances, has a colossal influence on the artistic director. And the fact that as many as eight artists, among whom there are people familiar throughout the country, lost their jobs is also Vitalina’s “merit.”

Of course, the question arises: why exclude people from the stage that the public comes to see? But the victims have an answer to this:

The stars have serious demands, and the theater budget is not rubber. It is enough to have only a couple of principals in the troupe, and the audience will still watch the performances. Now such a role has been given to Elena Ksenofontova And Olga Kuzina. Armen Borisovich continues to appreciate, pamper and cherish them. Which of the actors was left behind? Alexander Bukharov And Andrey Merzlikin. Alexey Shevchenkov and his wife Olga. Vladimir Kapustin And Valentin Samokhin. Olga Prikhudaylova and finally Stanislav Duzhnikov, who left the troupe a little earlier - went to the Moscow Art Theater. Chekhov, where his wife works Kristina Babushkina.

Duzhnikov and Shevchenkov finally left the theater, the participants told us “ mighty bunch", who were united by a common scandalous situation. - And the rest are still on the staff - they just don’t play anything, of course, not of their own free will. According to the law, we cannot be fired. We would like to, but they're crap! They even continue to pay us a small salary. At first we were somehow embarrassed by this, but then we realized: the theater has drained so much blood from us that it’s not shameful.

As for the role of Vitalina Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya in their conflict with Dzhigarkhanyan, the unemployed artists are categorical:

The gray mouse managed to quickly turn a decent theater into a fetid cesspool. Young artists are afraid of her like fire! They say that rumors about the lively lady have already reached the United States, where Dzhigarkhanyan’s legal wife lives. At one time, Tatyana Sergeevna went to work for hire in Dallas - there she was offered to teach Russian. And recently, having learned that the faithful had fallen under the influence of a young lady, the wife allegedly threw a huge scandal at Armen and almost filed for divorce. Of course, we decided to call the master himself with a request to comment on the situation.

Potassium cyanide for lunch

Hearing what we wanted to talk about, Dzhigarkhanyan became noticeably agitated. He started shouting and confusing his words:

Yes, in our theater there are eight actors with whom we actually parted ways. They and I realized that the birth rate in our country is sharply falling. The master, most likely, is hinting at Andrei Merzlikin and Olga Prikhudaylova. Andrey is already a father three times, and Olga recently gave birth to a son. It is clear that, having become parents, they must not only work hard on the stage, but also raise their children.

In fact, we do not have the right to fire anyone,” continued Armen Borisovich. - For some reason, Soviet legislation is firmly in favor of protecting such people. The state pays me a lot of money, like artistic director theater, but no one asks me if I can fire a person on my own initiative. If the actor doesn't want to, he doesn't leave. We have people, I won’t mention their names, who come to receive their salaries right before my eyes. For a long time now they have not earned anything through their labor, but they still receive money.

Here Armen Borisovich is probably hinting at Valentin Samokhin (father of Misha Dyatlov in the TV series “School”). They say he came to the box office last week and confronted his opponent head-on. Both pretended not to notice each other.

Dzhigarkhanyan’s next words shocked us to the core. He finally decided to get personal and give characteristics to his former employees: - Stanislav Duzhnikov worked for us. If you meet this fat idiot, know that he is lying! Big and doughy fool! Alexey Shevchenkov is a vile person. I took him and his wife to the theater. She is not an actress at all and, in fact, was not needed. But I assigned her a salary.

And now Shevchenkov went against me, he says vile stories. You never know what they say about me and Vitalina Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya! She musical director theater - and that's it! When I need to separate Mozart from Mahler, I ask her, of course, she is a good professional. Why is she called the second Marina Zudina? Eh, how boring you are sad people! Eat good joke. "Do you know that Chaikovsky- pederast? - they ask the Armenian radio. To which it replies: “Yes, we know, but we love him not only for that!” Tabakov- Well done. Even if Zudina ruins everything and pours potassium cyanide into her husband’s lunch, but this, of course, is not the case, even in this case Oleg Palych has the right to choose the wife he wants. He did so much in the theater!
