— Working together is not annoying. It’s difficult for us to be apart,” singer Anton Makarsky answered our magazine . — Over the 16 years of our life together, Vika and I have finally grown together. So we can work together, as well as relax, raise children and do everything else only together. And regarding disputes... Where have you seen a family in which quarrels and disagreements would not arise? And all sorts of different and unpleasant things happen to us. Another thing is that we learned a few lessons. For example, the one who offends, even if he is right a hundred times over, must definitely apologize, and the offended party, no matter how difficult it is, must do everything possible not to hold a grudge. We have an understanding that talking, to put it mildly, in a raised voice is in no way a desire to cause harm. And sometimes it is extremely difficult to contain emotions.
Anna Anisimova “PRO Health”: Anton, you even go on business trips together - not so long ago you and your wife returned from the Makarsky Live Concert tour. What countries have you visited?
Anton Makarsky: On this tour we only traveled through our country, but we also visited different places in our vast homeland! A total of 15 cities in Siberia and the Far East. Indescribable beauty, open people, warmest welcome, snow, frost, trains, planes - in general, a lot of impressions and delight! It was especially joyful when people started communicating during the concert and something happened that, in fact, was the reason to call our concerts “live” - improvisation, unpredictability.

“Lack of time for sports is an excuse!”
— During the tour, you shared interesting photos with subscribers of your microblog. What was your most memorable experience on the trip?
- This is all my wife! You know, there are people who get dogs, cats or parrots, and Vika started an Instagram account (microblog with photos. - Ed.). I was initially against our appearance on any social networks, but seeing how Vika likes to take photographs and sometimes share her thoughts and experiences, I realized that I had to come to terms with it and accept it. But for now I’m holding on: I’m still nowhere to be found in the virtual space. And regarding an interesting incident... There were a lot of different things, but just like that, offhand, I immediately remembered the incredible beauty of the starry sky in the taiga, halfway from Ust-Ilimsk to Bratsk. We made a stop on our four hour road trip, got off the bus and were amazed by the beauty! It seemed that you could reach the stars with your hand - in the literal sense of the word!
— My attention was attracted by a photograph from the Yenisei, into which you plunged in the frost. Is this an isolated incident or have you been hardening for a long time?
— Not exactly hardening, but Vika and I plunge into holy springs regularly, regardless of the time of year. And here the Yenisei is next to the hotel! Well, how could you not plunge into this powerful river, even after running a couple of tens of meters through the snow?

— You often move from place to place, give concerts and at the same time remain in good shape. Where does so much energy come from? And how do you manage to be positive all the time?
- Well, the mood can be different, but as for the tone - everything is simple here. Once every three, maximum four days I should have a workout. And it absolutely doesn’t matter where I am: on the train, in a hotel room, in the dressing room after a concert or on the playground with our children - I can always and everywhere come up with several of the most effective and, for me personally, vital sports exercises. And saying that you don’t have time or energy are just excuses.
— Are you picky about food? And are there any foods that you have completely excluded from your diet?
- In this regard, I am a community-trained person - I eat everything. Another thing is that I try not to overeat and not sit down at the table until I’m really hungry. I have never followed any diets, although I know quite a lot about them. My wife sometimes falls into another dietary heresy - I have to study everything thoroughly in order to smash it to smithereens and return her to normal food. Diets and proper nutrition are completely different things. Although, knowing a lot, I don’t adhere to this myself, the body is still “holding the punch”! But the key word here is “for now”, everything has its time...
— When you and your wife are on tour, who do your children stay with?
“We have a huge family, and our children have the great happiness of growing up with uncles, aunts, grandparents, and even with their great-grandfather, with my grandfather, who at 82 years old is in excellent physical and mental shape!” So when we leave, the children's real vacation begins. Another thing is that we understand perfectly well that no one can replace mom and dad, so as a matter of principle we don’t leave for long, during separation we are almost always in touch with the children, and as soon as they grow up a little, we will travel everywhere together as a big friendly family. I myself am an acting child; from the age of 3 I traveled with the troupe of the Penza Drama Theater on trains and buses. I remember very well how much I enjoyed these adventures and how impatiently I looked forward to the next tour!
Anton and Victoria Makarsky: “We got pregnant only when we were already desperate”
More details
Anton Makarsky tried to leave his family three times. What helped the actor save his marriage?
Anton Makarsky
Many are sure that Anton Makarsky is a professional vocalist, because he became the star of the musicals “Metro” and “Notre Dame de Paris”. In fact, the artist planned to work as a coach, and then trained as an actor. Makarsky discovered his ability to sing in the army, where he was the first tenor in the choir. Musical talent played a decisive role in Anton’s career, making him famous throughout the country.
The fateful meeting of the actor with his future wife took place at the casting. A few days later, Makarsky could no longer imagine his future life without Victoria Morozova. But the grinding-in period turned out to be a difficult test for the couple, and Anton tried several times to go into free swimming.
On November 26, the artist turns 44. Today he is a happy husband and father of two children, a sought-after actor and singer. But fate could have turned out completely differently if Makarsky had made a couple of wrong decisions.
FROM ATHLETES TO ARTISTS
Anton was born in Penza into a family of theatergoers. His parents divorced early, but when the boy turned 10, his mother remarried. The stepfather replaced the child's father and gave him his last name - Makarsky.
Although all his relatives were associated with drama and puppet theaters, Anton did not want to follow in their footsteps. The teenager was interested in boxing, weightlifting and fencing, dreaming of becoming a coach. His uncle was able to dissuade Makarsky from entering a pedagogical university. Under the pressure of his loved ones, who saw natural artistry in him, the athlete applied to several acting institutes at once, eventually settling on the Shchukin School. Having received his diploma, he went to serve: the graduate did not plan to avoid the army.
“I rushed into the profession, but there was absolutely nothing there that I expected to see during my four years of study at the institute. And in the army I was absolutely at ease,” the artist explained in the “Fate of a Man” program.
The role of Prince Dolgoruky strengthened the success of Anton Makarsky
After demobilization, Anton remained unemployed for six months until he heard about the casting for the musical “Metro”. Despite the fact that Makarsky was an actor and not a vocalist, he received the main role in the project and soon won the sympathy of the audience. The artist's participation in the Russian adaptation of Notre Dame de Paris was an even greater success. The soulful performance of the song Belle in the image of Captain Phoebus made Anton Makarsky famous in musical circles, and filming in a video with Vyacheslav Petkun and Alexander Golubev secured his role as a lyrical hero.
Although at that moment Makarsky did not consider himself a singer, in the wake of the success of the musical he recorded a solo album. Subsequently, the artist more than once made covers of world hits, one of the most successful of which was “Eternal Love.” In addition, when Anton was invited to the series “Poor Nastya” for the role of Prince Dolgoruky, together with his colleagues he performed the soundtrack “I’m not sorry” for the project.
Anton Makarsky played one of the main roles in the series “Citizen Nobody”
Makarsky played in operettas, starred in Yulia Savicheva’s video “This is Fate,” and voiced cartoons. The artist was also invited to popular TV shows: “The Big Race”, “Dancing with the Stars”. At one time he was the host of the program “The Phantom of the Opera” on Channel One.
Viewers appreciated the actor’s image in the TV series “Citizen Nobody” and in the melodrama “Wedding Dress.” Together with Svetlana Khodchenkova and Ekaterina Vilkova, Anton appeared in the box office comedy “Classmates”. Another popular project of the artist was “Love with home delivery.” Every year, the star’s filmography is replenished with new successful works.
THIS IS DESTINY
Victoria Morozova became the main love of Anton Makarsky
The musical “Metro” not only opened the way for Makarsky to cinema and the stage, but also brought him together with his future wife. At the time of the meeting, Anton was an unknown artist, and Victoria Morozova was an accomplished singer. At the casting they started talking and immediately liked each other.
“Everyone told her: “Why do you need this guy?” Still would! After all, I had neither money nor a home. It happened that I spent the night on street benches. But Vika and I felt a connection. We got married very quickly, but the wedding took place only three years later,” said Makarsky.
Friends considered the family harmonious and happy, but at first the couple’s relationship could not be called ideal. The lovers constantly argued about any reason.
“We had fights without rules: two completely different people, realizing that they cannot live without each other, begin to get used to each other. They fought very hard, I left three times in the first year. Vika returned. Out of old habit, I would go away for five days, play tricks, and she would find me,” Anton admitted.
Fans consider Anton and Victoria an ideal couple
Those around her, who once condemned Vika for choosing her chosen one, could not even think that soon the artists would literally change places. Morozova underwent serious surgery on her ligaments and lost the opportunity to perform for several years, while Makarsky, on the contrary, became increasingly popular and in demand. After the premiere of Notre Dame de Paris, he had no end to offers to act in films.
Anton Makarsky tried to leave his family
“And then everyone started telling Anton why he needed me. I physically remember the wave of negativity that spilled out when people found out that I was his wife. But Anton began to earn money, and his complexes disappeared. I was the most happy. It seemed to me that Anton was a genius. I started going to directors, knocking on all their offices and saying: “Get Makarsky in a movie!” No one but him can sing or play like that,” Victoria shared.
At the same time, his wife was never jealous of Anton’s numerous fans: she had absolute confidence that they were made for each other. Although at times it was not easy to come to terms with the behavior of a hot-tempered husband. “He simply has an impossible, unbearable character. That's why one day I wanted to leave too. Even his own mother can’t stand Anton. I remember how she told her husband: “If Vika leaves you, I will leave too,” the singer noted.
LONG-awaited HEIRS
The couple are raising two children
For 13 years, Victoria could not get pregnant. The singer had to try a variety of methods to achieve what she wanted, some of which were downright dangerous. Only at 39 did she become a mother.
“I’ll say right away: there was no IVF. There were no surrogate mothers either. Before this, I had two IVF attempts in Moscow, during which I almost died. Then came a turning point in our lives, when Anton and I decided to trust in God. They began to pray, IVF was canceled in Israel, and six months later I became pregnant with Masha. And two years later Vanya appeared. These are two begged children. Doctors have nothing to do with their appearance,” Makarskaya emphasized.
Victoria Makarskaya almost died for the sake of her children
Mystical events associated with her daughter took place long before her birth, so the singer believed in the miracle even more.
“12 years before Masha was born, I had a dream. I clearly saw my girl, she asked me to call her Masha,” Victoria admitted.
Makarsky's life was changed by religion
Now, in any difficult situation, the spouses turn to God, believing that he will help again. Makarskaya sometimes asks fans for support. So, two years ago Vanya and Masha came down with a sore throat, and Victoria tried to reach subscribers, calling on those who were concerned to pray for the children.

From the outside, the Makarsky family seemed ideal to others, but rumors periodically appeared about the discord between the spouses. For 20 years together, the lovers experienced a lot and periodically fought seriously, but did not dare to break up the marriage because of strong feelings and religiosity.
Family remains the main priority in Anton Makarsky’s life
“The secret of a long relationship is very simple - you need to learn to love,” Anton shared with StarHit. - In the correct understanding of this word. One respected citizen was asked: “Is it possible to measure love?” He replied: “Of course. It is measured in liters... of blood. That’s how much I’m willing to give to a loved one, that’s how much I value him.” There are more than enough disputes in our lives. But the key to peace is no matter what happens, don’t be offended! Vika and I, unfortunately, very often can speak in a raised tone, but, fortunately, within a few seconds after that we hold hands as if nothing had happened.”
Since last year, the couple have been hosting the program “Shrines of Russia” on the Spas channel, with which they travel to religious places. The common project brought the lovers even closer together. “There is only one goal now - to serve God and people with all our abilities and talents,” Vika emphasized.

“I ask God for wisdom and wisdom...”
— In your interviews, you said that you always dreamed of a son. When your second child, son Ivan, was born, how did you feel?
- Confidence in him - a man was born. To my surprise, I am absolutely calm for him, unlike my daughter Masha, whose tenderness grows every day.
— How did Mashenka react to the appearance of a brother in the family?
“Vika very wisely prepared Masha, telling her every day that she was giving birth to a brother for her and how they would be friends. Of course, Mashulya did not expect so much attention to be paid to Vanya, but she copes with it wonderfully and becomes a real mother’s assistant.
— Are the children similar to each other?
- Externally - very! But their characters are completely different. Temperamental, already able to use her charm, headstrong Masha and absolutely calm, uncapricious and humble Vanya. But what makes me happy is that these are two kind children who are completely unable to tolerate negative emotions. And our task is not to spoil them, not to break them and to direct them in the right direction. So all that remains is to ask God for intelligence, patience, wisdom and strength for proper upbringing.
Victoria Morozova: “Twice I ran after Anton with a frying pan”
More details
— Where do you see your daughter and son in the future?
“They will choose their own profession.” Of course, knowing the “behind the scenes” side of our profession, we would not want them to follow in our footsteps, but we will not force them to do anything. We can only help with advice. But in order for them to obey, you will need to earn their respect. In general, we face many challenges.
— What method of raising children have you chosen for yourself? Are you spoiling or trying to be a strict dad?
— Classic: dad is strict but fair, mom is kind and compassionate. Although sometimes we change roles. Yes, we didn’t choose, it somehow happened by itself. The main thing is to live in love, not to be a hypocrite and try to ensure that our moralizing speeches do not diverge from our actions, otherwise all our education will be in vain.

Anton Makarsky and his wife Vika became victims of fraud
Actor Anton Makarsky and his wife Vika have long dreamed of a country house, including because they are planning to expand their family. But it turned out that building it is much more difficult than it seems, especially if you encounter scammers on the way to your dream.
Vika Makarskaya took over supervision of the construction site. She noticed that the builders were deceiving her, tried to find others, but knowledgeable people convinced her that today everyone was stealing! To all of Vika’s questions, she heard one answer: you don’t understand anything about construction. As a result, the house is ready, but not suitable for habitation: the walls are cracked, it is dangerous to turn on the lights, the house may burn down, the roof is supported by supports. The company with which the contract was concluded denies responsibility, EG reports. Because of this, Vika had a nervous breakdown and almost ended up in a psychiatric hospital. Now the couple intends to sue the scammers.

Two houses
— Anton, I know that you live in both Russia and Israel. What attracts you to this country?
— We cannot say that we live in Israel, although we have been there for quite a long time. It so happened that our children were born in the Holy Land, in Jerusalem. Actually, we came there for just a week to get examined, when we realized that we were waiting for Masha. But Vika was so amazed by the attitude of the doctors, and not only the doctors, but also everyone around them towards the pregnant woman, that she stayed there until the birth. And then, during the expedition in Minsk during the filming of the film “Village Romance,” when Vanya appeared on the horizon, there were no questions about where to go to give birth. This is one of my main questions: why in our country, where there are so many talented doctors, a pregnant woman is very often greeted with the question: “Are you going to leave her?”
— Did you build a house here in Russia? Have you already moved in?
— Not a house, but an apartment, or rather a town house in Sergiev Posad. We should be given the keys by the end of February. I hope that by the summer we will have time to settle down and move completely and irrevocably.
— Do you sing more now or act in films? Will you be excited about a new role this year?
- And not alone! Several premieres are planned for 2020, both television and feature films. But our “Live Concerts” remain the main outlet, because each time they are different, unique and completely depend on the atmosphere in the auditorium, on the people we come to visit.
