Because of Vitalina Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya, many leading theater artists left or were fired.
The divorce-related scandal involving the famous actor and artistic director of his own theater, 82-year-old Armen Dzhigarkhanyan, and his current wife, 38-year-old Vitalina Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya, seemed to have begun recently. Until recently, she was the general director of this theater, and even, as she herself admitted in a TV show, success appeared under her leadership, debts were reduced.
It turned out that back in 2011, newspapermen "took the fly" at Vitalina.
"Dzhigarkhanyan's favorite keeps the whole theater at bay," the press wrote six years ago. And she tirelessly fought for the attention of the figure. As the man got used to his passion, the demands of the girl also increased.
As you know, the owner of the sonorous surname Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya came to conquer the capital of Russia from Ukraine. At first she taught at the Jewish Academy named after Maimonides at the Faculty of World Musical Culture, and then director Vladimir Yachmenev recommended her to the Dzhigarkhanyan Theater.
Vitalina quickly achieved great influence on the artistic director, which is why everyone's favorite artists lost their jobs: Alexander Bukharov, Andrei Merzlikin, Alexei Shevchenkov and his wife Olga, Vladimir Kapustin and Valentin Samokhin, Olga Prikhudaylova and, finally, Stanislav Duzhnikov, wrote "Mir24 ".
Later, the media wrote that because of Vitalina, many actors left or were fired. She allegedly gave the main roles to her friend Oksana Golubeva, and she not so long ago said something out of place and was also fired.
The last loss of the theater is the actress Elena Ksenofontova, the prima who held the repertoire.
Uliana Chilindina, who left because of Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya, starred in several popular TV series and films - Indigo, Yarik, Love as Love, Kukotsky's Case.
The star of the series "Eighties" Natalya Zemtsova also left of her own free will, but according to rumors, she was fired for being too beautiful.
Alexey Shevchenkov served in the Theater from 1997 to 2010 under the direction of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan. Since 2010, he moved to the Moscow Art Theater. Chekhov.
Stanislav Duzhnikov became famous in a number of films, but especially in the STS sitcom Voronins, which got into the Guinness Book of Records.
Andrey Merzlikin in 2001-2011 was an actor of the Moscow Drama Theater under the direction of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan. Played 108 roles in movies and TV shows.
Armen Dzhigarkhanyan disappeared, was found in the hospital, threatened to kill his young wife and does not want to see her again. “As soon as I leave the hospital, I will tell you everything, it’s not easy and you won’t understand,” the legendary actor, who recently celebrated his 82nd birthday, commented on the situation.
A few days ago, Armen Dzhigarkhanyan disappeared from home, and his wife Vitalina Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya turned to the police with a request to find her husband. Mash cites Vitalina's words: “Armen sometimes has outbursts of anger because of his illness. We recently had a fight. And suddenly some of his old friends arrived. These friends took the people's artist away. Then, according to Vitalina, Armen Borisovich threatened to kill her in a telephone conversation.
Dzhigarkhanyan was found in one of the Moscow hospitals. He claims that his wife deprived him of all his property and does not let her into her room. Romanovskaya says that everything in the family is good and she attributes her husband's antics to illness. Vitalina's lawyer said in an interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda that Dzhigarkhanyan was taken to an unknown hospital by a theater doctor, and not by the actor's friends. Dzhigarkhanyan himself said he felt fine and would tell a "vile" story when he returned to the theatre.
At the beginning of this year, the media learned that Dzhigarkhanyan transferred all his property to his young wife. It turned out during the trial with the ex-wife of the artist Tatyana Vlasova. The trial lasted a year and a half, and all this time the interests of Armen Borisovich were represented by Vitalina and lawyers. Vlasova lost the court and said that Dzhigarkhanyan's new wife had declared war on her, and that she was in complete control of him. Dzhigarkhanyan publicly said that Vlasova wants to hire a killer and eliminate his young lover. Then there was a court case, when the theater artists were outraged by illegal dismissals from the team.
Dzhigarkhanyan's relationship with Vitalina began back in the 90s, when the legendary actor came on tour to Odessa. They maintained a relationship at a distance, and in 2002 Dzhigarkhanyan had a stroke, and he allegedly asked Vitalina to come to Moscow to support him. Romanovskaya immediately moved with her parents. Then she was the musical director, and in 2015 she became the director of the theater. After Dzhigarkhanyan's second stroke, they got married. The age difference between the spouses is 44 years.
Previously, the ex-wife of Dzhigarkhanyan claimed that in place of Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya there could be any other woman who happened to be next to Dzhigarkhanyan who had undergone surgery, that the artist had changed after the first heart attack, and also that “he had a damaged center responsible for critical reflection on actions and words ".
And here is a comment about this whole story of Dzhigarkhanyan's sister: “If it were not for Vitalin, Armen Borisovich would not have been alive for a long time. She pulled him many times just from the edge of the abyss.
Oksana Pushkina, who maintains friendly relations with the actor, on her Facebook page yesterday denied rumors about a statement to the police and wrote the following: “Armen Borisovich did not write any statements. Prepares divorce papers. He turned to the theater staff, in which he expressed distrust of the director and her two deputies, on legal and financial issues. He also asked me not to panic. He will recover soon and will be back to work! She writes to the police, and full of lies and nonsense.
At the Theater under the leadership of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan, an acting general director has been appointed. According to RIA Novosti, this post will be held by Elena Gilvanova. According to media reports, which continue to actively monitor the development of a difficult situation in the theater, Vitalina Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya, who served as director of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan's wife, left him of her own free will. It is noted that she not only quit the theater, but also intends to file for divorce.
Actor of the Moscow Drama Theater under the direction of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan Ivan Gordienko in conversation with NSN spoke about how the team took the departure of Vitalina Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya.
“We were okay with it. She gathered everyone, said goodbye, even burst into tears a little. But everything was fine. I feel sorry for the person, but, as they say, with "est la vie. I can't comment on the information that a large group of actors left the theater because of Tsymbalyuk, because I never delved into these matters. As for Stas Duzhnikov, he left himself, because he had filming in the TV series “Voronins.” But I don’t know everything, just because I’m doing business here, creativity,” Ivan Gordienko said.
Answering the question whether the theater could be closed due to Armen Dzhigarkhanyan's illness and the scandal surrounding his wife Vitalina Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya, the interlocutor NSN stated that this issue, if it arises, will be decided by "higher authorities".
“But it seems to me that this will not happen, because the team is “alive”. Where do people go? Some have been in the theater for many years. For example, I have been working in the best theaters of the Soviet Union for 56 years. Where are we in our old age?” NSN actor.
“The public is well received by Tramway Desire. They go to the Theater of the Times of Nero and Seneca. Armen Borisovich came out and, I think, he will play. We live, in a word. And we hope that we will continue to live. The most important thing is that Armen Borisovich is alive and well, that he was released from the hospital. The media wrote earlier, Vitalina told us that he was dying, which is difficult. Well, there must have been such a moment. We were all very worried. And now, I hope, everything will be fine with us in order, ”summed up the actor of the Moscow Drama Theater under the direction of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan.
We add that the representative of Vitalina Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya announced that she decided to leave the theater for the reason that Dzhigarkhanyan "continues to dishonor her in every possible way."
Numerous media outlets have previously reported that the last spat between the spouses was the reason that the 82-year-old actor's chronic illness worsened. As a result, he was hospitalized in one of the hospitals in Moscow. While there, Dzhigarkhanyan accused his current wife Vitalina Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya of stealing and wanting to kill him. He also announced that he intended to divorce her.
March 12, 1996: On the basis of a group of graduates of the VGIK course of Armen Dzhgarkhanyan, by the Decree of the Committee on Culture of the Government of Moscow, the Moscow Drama Theater was created under the direction of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan (originally under the name "Theatre" D ").
The theater gets a room on Kooperativnaya street with a tiny hall for 96 seats. Armen Dzhigarkhanyan's one-man show "Crapp's Last Tape" by S. Beckett was transferred to this stage, the premieres of "Twelfth Night, or As You Like" by W. Shakespeare (both performances directed by Krikor Azaryan), "Kazakin, or Kamzol from Mascaril" by J. Molière were released (staged by Karen Nersisyan), “...But the theater lives on!” (based on the vaudeville “Lev Gurych Sinichkin” by A. Lensky and A. Bondy, directed by Vlad Druzhinin), “Mozart and Salieri” by A. Pushkin (directed by Valery Sarkisov), two children's performances.
An appeal to the classics, to the plays of Moliere, Bulgakov, Vampilov, to the immortal "Little Tragedies" by A.S. Pushkin, even for venerable theaters, is sometimes a difficult task. Therefore, the success of the young theater was so noticeable, which created such a diverse and significant repertoire in a short time: "Little Tragedies" by A.S. Pushkin, "Kazakin or Kamzol from Mascaril" J.B. Molière, "Twelfth Night" by W. Shakespeare, "The Last Tape of Krapp" by S. Beckett, "Good People" by A. Vampilov, vaudeville "Lev Gurych Sinichkin", children's performances "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves" and "Good Country Australia" . The most valuable thing in this undoubted success is the fact that all the work was carried out relying only on our own strengths and resources. Armen Dzhigarkhanyan, having also shown himself to be a talented teacher, gave a "start in life" to many young actors.
On November 23, 2002, in one of the most picturesque districts of the capital - on Sparrow Hills - the doors of the theater were hospitably opened at a new address: Lomonosovsky Prospekt, Building 17 (Progress cinema), with a hall for 500 seats.
The theater under the direction of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan tours a lot. The geography of tours is wide: Perm and Yekaterinburg, Cherepovets and Saratov, Kaluga and St. Petersburg, Kostroma and Yaroslavl, Lipetsk, Murmansk and numerous cities of the Moscow region.
Despite its rather young age and the youth of the troupe members, the Dzhigarkhanyan Theater confidently and firmly wins the favor of the audience with its complex but vivid performances. Even the most experienced artists consider the works of Bulgakov, Pushkin and Moliere to be very difficult, but the actors, led by maestro Armen Dzhigarkhanyan, easily embody the images of classical characters on stage. Together with these world-famous plays, the theater plays performances based on writers such as Beckett and Vampilov. The youth and enthusiasm of the artists, combined with the colossal creative experience and life wisdom of the founder of this temple, Melpomene, allow such a diverse repertoire to successfully exist.
From the historical past of the Theater "D"
The Dzhigarkhanyan Theater (its address is Lomonosovsky Prospekt, 17) often tours other Russian cities. Over the 20 years of its existence, the troupe has visited such settlements as Saratov, St. Petersburg, Cherepovets, Lipetsk, Perm and others. Artists also visited countless cities of the Moscow region.
Initially, the Dzhigarkhanyan Theater was called the Theater "D". It was founded in the early spring of 1996. The base of the then troupe was made up of VGIK graduates, whose course was led by Armen Borisovich. Then the institution was located in a tiny, located on Cooperative Street, a room with a small auditorium. The first dramatization of the troupe was Professor Dzhigarkhanyan's one-man performance "Krapp's Last Tape" based on S. Beckett. Then there were premieres of such performances as "Twelfth Night, or As You Like", "But the Theater Lives!", "Mozart and Salieri" and others. The repertoire of the institution also included performances for children, such as "The Good Country Australia" and "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves".
This is a very versatile repertoire, which even venerable theaters are not always able to master. But the young troupe successfully realized the difficult task that was set before them. The performances gained unprecedented success both with the public and critics, and Dzhigarkhanyan himself showed himself as an unusually talented teacher.
Troupe under the direction of Gazarov
Armen Borisovich invited Sergey Gazarov to his theater in 1998 for the position of chief director. Together, during the 1998-1999 season, they almost completely renewed the troupe. So, of the artists who "opened" the institution, today only Pyotr Stupin and Alexei Shevchenkov remain. Also to this day, the “first” sound engineer, Mrs. Gridneva, and the head of the costume department, Margarita Cheres, work. The leading actors from the "second set" are now V. Kapustin, Yu. Anpilogov, A. Bukharov, D. Nadtochiy and A. Annenkov. The basis of the modern repertoire was laid by the play "The Government Inspector" based on the play by Nikolai Gogol. The performance was directed by S. Gazarov.
In the 1999-2000 season, the Dzhigarkhanyan Theater was replenished with such artists as S. Eventov, E. Ksenofontova, V. Chetkov, E. Medvedeva, I. Gordienko and A. Bashenkova. At this time, the play "Return Home" was released, in which Dzhigarkhanyan played the main role, and the children's production of "Tales of the Learned Cat". The release of the latter was handled by Alexei Kiryushchenko. The following season, Gazarov resigns as chief director.
Moving to a new building
The theater of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan by 2002 was already an incredibly successful institution. In November of this year, the Melpomene temple moves to a new building. It is located in one of the most picturesque areas of the Russian capital - on the Sparrow Hills. This building used to house a theater called "Progress". In the new premises, the theater under the direction of the star is able to accommodate a much larger number of spectators. After all, five thousand people can fit here.
Together with the large premises, the Armen Dzhigarkhanyan Theater got the opportunity to make its repertoire more extensive.
