I'm talking about Vitalina ... Although it seems that nothing threatened. Sad, sad. Vitalina, I can hardly pronounce her last name, brought me a lot of unfair pain. I am always afraid when people close to me suddenly start to drive close to me. Oh, I say no, “Wait a minute. Let me think for myself and make some decision… No, I'm not ready to forgive her. Now I say so. Even thinking, I confidently say no. I will speak harshly. She behaved wickedly. A thief, she is a thief, not a person ...

I'm telling you honestly, I'm a People's Artist of the Soviet Union, I don't have an apartment where to live. There was a half of the apartment with Tatyana Sergeevna. A normal person wants a little less. Vitalina Vladimirovna stole.

The actor said about Alla Vannovskaya: “Alla was 15 years older than me and was the first woman who broke into my love life. She turned out to be sick, she had chorea, it is also called the "dance of St. Vitus" (the disease is characterized by erratic irregular movements, often reminiscent of a dance - website). And my daughter from her was the same sick. My daughter died, she was 23 years old.

The second wife is Tatyana Sergeevna Vlasova, an actress, now a teacher of the Russian language at an institute in Dallas. Lives in the USA. The marriage broke up in 2015.
Son (adoptive) - Vlasov Stepan, son of his wife from a previous marriage (Stepan Armenovich Dzhigarkhanyan, January 17, 1966).
Since the early 2000s, Armen Dzhigarkhanyan has been living in an actual marriage with a pianist. We met in 2000 in Kyiv. The initiator of the acquaintance was Vitalina, who declared that she had loved the actor since her youth. Then she moved to Moscow, since 2008 she became the musical director of the Dzhigarkhanyan Moscow Drama Theater, and since 2015 - the director of the theater.
For a long time, the couple hid their romance, but in February 2015, Armen Borisovich and Vitalina Viktorovna officially confirmed its existence. In September, a divorce took place with Dzhigarkhanyan's wife, actress Tatyana Sergeevna Vlasova, who currently lives and works in Dallas (USA).
In October 2017, the actor accused his wife of stealing. He also announced that he intends to divorce Vitalina.
“The most difficult thing is that not very good processes have taken place in my life. I had a wife, like a normal person. Then this woman turned out - either she doesn't like me, or she. I'm talking about Vitalina ... Although it seems that nothing threatened. Sad, sad. Vitalina, I can hardly pronounce her last name, brought me a lot of unfair pain. I am always afraid when people close to me suddenly start to drive close to me. Oh, I say no, “Wait a minute. Let me think for myself and make some decision.”... No, I'm not ready to forgive her. Now I say so. Even thinking, I confidently say no. I will speak harshly. She behaved wickedly. A thief, she is a thief, not a person ... Yes, I'm talking about Vitalin, ”-.
Later, the actor also said that - two apartments of the famous artist were copied to her: “She is a little sick, to be honest. Thief, pure water. She literally stole money from my pocket. Either cheating, or I'm already a little tired. I'm telling you honestly, I'm a People's Artist of the Soviet Union, I don't have an apartment where to live. There was a half of the apartment with Tatyana Sergeevna. A normal person wants a little less. Vitalina Vladimirovna stole.

Armen Dzhigarkhanyan - Biography
Fate is not often favorable to famous people. Apparently, someone at the top believes that it is not worth rewarding a person too much. A rare exception to this rule is the life of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan. Of course, in his biography there were sorrows and sorrows, but on the whole, happy fate led him to the intended goal.
Armen Dzhigarkhanyan - Childhood
In 1935, in Yerevan, in a family of Tiflis Armenians, the future star of Soviet and Russian cinema was born. Dzhigarkhanyan's childhood was shrouded in love and care. The father left the family when the future actor was only a month old. But his stepfather was able to replace him and became one of the closest people in the life of Armen Borisovich.
Dzhigarkhanyan's memories of this man are imbued with deep gratitude and warmth. The mother of the future actor and director was a fan of theatrical art. She often took her little son with her to performances. And therefore, one can say, the theatrical world became dear to him already in childhood.
In the creative biography of the actor Dzhigarkhanyan, more than two hundred film roles have been played. But such professional success cannot be explained solely by luck, of course. He grew up in an Armenian intelligent family, where he was instilled with diligence and perseverance from childhood. One talent, as you know, is not enough to succeed in any kind of art. The Soviet acting school is represented by people who selflessly worked for the benefit of cinema. But even against their background, Dzhigarkhanyan was distinguished by diligence.
Armen Jigarkhanyan - Yerevan Institute
Exams at Gitis Dzhigarkhanyan failed. They did not take the future actor to this university because he did not speak Russian well enough. But, according to the memoirs of his mother, the future actor had a difficult biography at the Yerevan Institute. After all, she was not fluent in the Armenian language either. Returning to his hometown, Dzhigarkhanyan began working as an operator.
And the next year he became a student at the Art and Theater Institute. Here one of the teachers in Dzhigarkhanyan saw a rare talent. This man's name was Armen Gulakyan. He played a decisive role in the biography of the actor. It was to him that the young actor owed the acquisition of his first skills and acquaintance with the Stanislavsky system.
Armen Dzhigarkhanyan - Universal talent
Dzhigarkhanyan, who was in demand as an actor, became still in his student years. Even then, colleagues in the workshop recognized his extraordinary talent. He equally brilliantly played roles, both tragic and comic. And at the same time, he surprised everyone with his extraordinary enthusiasm and diligence. Dzhigarkhanyan lived each of his roles. That is why any of his performances was perceived by the audience with delight. And very soon filmmakers drew attention to the young actor.
Armen Dzhigarkhanyan - Cinema
The first serious work in the cinema in the biography of the actor was his participation in the filming of the film "Collapse". Then the film "Hello, it's me" was released, in which Dzhigarkhanyan played the role of a young physicist. Some critics believe that this work was the best in the professional career of an actor.
Dzhigarkhanyan is an actor of a wide profile. His characteristic appearance never prevented him from playing people of different nationalities and professions.
This actor does not belong to those artists whose name the viewer has a strong association with one way or another. The charming Armenian always evoked sympathy from the public. It is also worth remembering that a considerable number of cartoon characters speak in the voice of Dzhigarkhanyan. Suffice it to recall the wolf from the famous cartoon "Once upon a time there was a dog" or John Silver from "Treasure Island".
Big and small roles of Dzhigarkhanyan
Regardless of which character Dzhigarkhanyan plays, he does it with full force. When Stanislav Govorukhin was looking for an actor for the role of the leader of a gangster group, he reviewed several candidates. The choice first fell on one fairly well-known personality in Soviet cinema. But this actor refused the role, explaining his decision by the fact that after a recent disagreement with his wife, he cannot appear on the screen in the form of a hunchbacked villain. Dzhigarkhanyan was also not attracted to this role, but he nevertheless accepted the offer. And then he brilliantly completed the task assigned to him. The image of the Hunchback, thanks to Dzhigarkhanyan, has become a textbook.
There are no small roles for this actor. Even in an insignificant episode, he is able to attract the attention of the viewer. Insignificant heroes in his performance become quoted characters. And negative ones cause sympathy for some reason. In addition to the roles that Dzhigarkhanyan played in the movie, the voice acting should also be remembered. The image of Count Cagliostro in the film "Formula of Love" would not have been so colorful and interesting if it had not been voiced by Armen Dzhigarkhanyan.
Personal tragedy of Armen Dzhinarkhanyan
Outside the theater, Dzhigarkhanyan, according to relatives and friends, is a rather cheerful person. Until recently, not much was known about the personal life of this person. He was married several times. The first wife passed away when she was young. Her name was Alla Vannovskaya. They met in Yerevan. And only after the marriage, Dzhigarkhanyan found out about the severe mental illness that his young wife suffered from. When they parted, daughter Elena was only a year old. Dzhigarkhanyan took the child and left for Moscow. And two years later, Alla Vannovskaya died in a Yerevan psychiatric hospital.
But the tragedy in the life of Dzhigarkhanyan did not end there. In 1987, a daughter died. The day before this event, an extremely sharp conversation had taken place between her and her father. Dzhigarkhanyan still blames himself for Elena's death.
The second wife of Dzhigarkhanyan was Tatyana Vlasova. This marriage was quite strong. However, in 2000, Tatyana left Russia and went to the USA to teach Russian.
Fate is not often favorable to famous people. Apparently, someone at the top believes that it is not worth rewarding a person too much. A rare exception to this rule is the life of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan. Of course, in his biography there were sorrows and sorrows, but on the whole, happy fate led him to the intended goal.

The second wife is Tatyana Sergeevna Vlasova, an actress, now a Russian language teacher at an institute in Dallas. Lives in the USA. The marriage broke up in 2015.
Son (adopted) - Vlasov Stepan, son of his wife from a previous marriage (Stepan Armenovich Dzhigarkhanyan, January 17, 1966).
Since the early 2000s, Armen Dzhigarkhanyan has been living in an actual marriage with pianist Vitalina Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya. We met in 2000 in Kyiv. The initiator of the acquaintance was Vitalina, who declared that she had loved the actor since her youth. Then she moved to Moscow, since 2008 she became the musical director of the Dzhigarkhanyan Moscow Drama Theater, and since 2015 - the director of the theater.

In February 2016, Dzhigarkhanyan officially married Tsimbalyuk-Romanovskaya.
In October 2017, the actor accused his wife of stealing. He also announced that he intends to divorce Vitalina.
“The most difficult thing is that not very good processes have taken place in my life. I had a wife, like a normal person. Then this woman turned out - either she doesn’t like me, or she. I'm talking about Vitalina ... Although it seems that nothing threatened. Sad, sad. Vitalina, I can hardly pronounce her last name, brought me a lot of unfair pain. I am always afraid when people close to me suddenly start to drive close to me. Oh, I say no, “Wait a minute. Let me think for myself and make some decision… No, I'm not ready to forgive her. Now I say so. Even thinking, I confidently say no. I will speak harshly. She behaved wickedly. A thief, she is a thief, not a person ... Yes, I'm talking about Vitalin, ”said Armen Dzhigarkhanyan in the program“ Andrey Malakhov. Live".
Later, the actor also said that Vitalina Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya left him without property - two apartments of the famous artist were transferred to her: “She is a little sick, to be honest. Thief, pure water. She literally stole money from my pocket. Either cheating, or I'm already a little tired. I'm telling you honestly, I'm a People's Artist of the Soviet Union, I don't have an apartment where to live. There was a half of the apartment with Tatyana Sergeevna. A normal person wants a little less. Vitalina Vladimirovna stole.

Vitalina Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya went abroad with her parents. The woman feared for her life. The wife of the actor is obliged to pay a number of debts, as loans were issued to her.
30.10.2017 18:22
The wife of the famous director and artist Armen Dzhigarkhanyan Vitalina Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya left the Russian Federation. According to the pianist's father, she decided to leave because she was afraid for her life. He claims that the theater is on the verge of collapse, and she was threatened.
In the program "Andrey Malakhov. Live” appeared the representative of Vitalina Elina Mazur. She explained the situation.
“It was an emotional decision, and it depended on Vitalina. She stated that everything that these people demanded of her, she fulfilled. Vitalina quit the theater and agree to a divorce. As for the division of property, this is impossible, since a loan was received for this apartment,” Mazur said.
The total debt is about 10 million. These funds were required by Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya to purchase housing in the capital. The apartment in Moscow is designed for Vitalina.
Vitalina left Russia, but at the same time she left the keys to the apartment on Molodogvardeyskaya. For five years, Dzhigarkhanyan's wife cannot do anything with the property: neither sell it nor rent it out. According to Mazur, Armen Borisovich had friends who turned him against Vitalina.
In addition, according to those present in the broadcast studio, Vitalina could be frightened by the recording from hidden cameras that was made in the theater. The filmmaker discussed the issue of initiating criminal cases. The guests of the program believe that Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya acted dishonorably towards the honored artist.
Andrey Malakhov got in touch with Vitalina via Skype. However, the TV presenter did not disclose the whereabouts of Dzhigarkhanyan's wife. She explained that she left because she was tired of the hype around their family scandal.
“I would not want to psychologically be under this pressure. I decided not to participate in everything for a while, ”said Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya.
Lawyer Oleg Alexandrovich Baranov said that there is a high probability of serious violations in the theater. According to him, Vitalina made the right decision by leaving the country. A lawyer who worked with Tatyana Vlasova claims that in 2007 Vitalina received a passport in the Basmanny district of Moscow, where she allegedly bought the document. All transactions were processed through him.
Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya tried to justify why she fled the country.
“I am surprised at the awareness of many people about the scenery of the theater and other things. The money is budgetary, a report was kept for each ruble. My activities were carried out absolutely in the legal field, ”Vitalina said.
