Women, especially public ones, as a rule, do not brag about their stormy personal lives. But Elena Proklova talks about her many men without a shadow of embarrassment.
“I allowed myself a lot,” admits the actress. “And I don’t regret a single novel!”
Early in the morning, 63-year-old Elena goes down to the kitchen to make coffee. For myself and my husband. Former. They divorced Andrei Trishin, who is eight years younger, almost two years ago, but continue to live under the same roof in a country house.
Why was it necessary to destroy this one on paper - the third already, and even crowned! – marriage, if everything remains practically the same, is incomprehensible. They also communicate, travel and hunt together, receive guests and preserve supplies for the winter. The only thing that has changed is Proklova’s home outfits.
– I used to allow myself to walk around in a robe. Not now. Meeting your ex-husband is intriguing. We are lovers now...
For Elena, romantic relationships always came first. Perhaps, having arranged a high-profile divorce, the actress simply wanted to shake up her feelings. Although there were rumors that she decided to end the marriage because of another of her dizzying novels...
LOLITA FOR TOBAKOV
Yankovsky was not the only unfree man with whom Proklova had an affair. She tells without hesitation how, as a very young girl, she had her eye on Oleg Tabakov. They met on the set of the film “Shine, Shine, My Star.” Elena was barely 16 then, Tabakov was already 33.
“How could I not be in love with this man?” How could she not respond to his love? Yes, I bowed to him! But he was a married man, and the relationship between us was not easy,” admits Elena. – The novel “Lolita” was very popular then. And, like any man, Tabakov could not help but dream of such a relationship.
He helped me become an actress and enter the Moscow Art Theater. But the people around turned it into a vulgar story that has no basis... Everything that he wanted did not happen between us, no matter what anyone said. It didn't exist then. I don't regret it. Because when I became an adult woman and we tried to restore our relationship, it did not bring pleasure to either me or him...
“I regret money on clothes, not on healthy food!”
“When you go on stage, you always feel healthy,” shares 64-year-old Proklova. - All diseases disappear immediately! And this despite the fact that the play in which I am currently playing is very difficult. Today we rehearsed for a long time. Consider that we worked for two performances.
– You are in great shape! How do you support yourself?
– It is important to drink good water from sources, preferably holy ones. At least two liters per day. I do exercises and try to always be in a good mood, no matter what happens! Proper nutrition is one of the most serious topics in my life. I spare money on clothes, but I will never skimp on healthy food. I prefer decent plant-based food, preferably grown in my own garden.
– Do you have your own garden?
– I am an avid gardener, gardener and florist. I love the earth. The philosopher Cicero once said that the person who has a library and a garden is a priori happy. And I have both.
-What kind of housewife are you?
– My zodiac sign is Virgo, that’s why the housewife is very boring, punctual, everything has to be in its place. Maybe my loved ones grumble a little because of this, but I get such a thrill when everything is well-groomed. I treat things the same way as living beings, respecting the amount of time spent by many people on their production. Therefore, I try to use every thing until it becomes old and useless, after which I try to make something new out of it, and give it to someone.
MIRONOV WAS SCARED
Elena also had an affair with Andrei Mironov during the filming of the film “Be My Husband.” The southern coast, the sound of the surf, the salty wind - isn’t this the best backdrop for an exciting flirtation between young actors?
– We rested and worked at the same time. When we were filming episodes in the most famous restaurant in Sochi, “Caucasian Aul,” we were stuck there for a whole week. There was no way we could get back to the hotel. Because as soon as filming ended and it got dark, tables were set there, the orchestra played in our honor, we danced, and Andryushka sang from the stage,” Elena says nostalgically. “Towards the morning we were taken to the staff room to get some sleep. And then it all started again: makeup, filming, partying. Andryusha and I were also taken on boats around the sea, had fishing, scuba diving... An endless holiday!
Mironov was married to Larisa Golubkina at that time. Many years later she said: “I was terribly jealous of Andryusha! Proklova at that moment was an absolutely charming blonde. And I noticed that Andrei was going to rehearsals with her with more and more pleasure each time. And what was I supposed to think? He flew to Sochi for filming and disappeared. Doesn't call, doesn't write..."
My wife understood: it smells fried. She jumped on a plane and flew to save her family.
“I came to the site for a check,” Proklova recalls. “I think she understood everything.” And Andryushka, a coward, became nervous and worried. Funny!..
Elena Proklova survived the death of children, failed marriages and affairs with married colleagues
Today, September 2, Elena Proklova celebrates her 67th birthday, but it is difficult to give such an age to a youthful and athletic actress. During her life, the artist experienced three unsuccessful marriages, the death of children and numerous affairs with married colleagues.
There were legends about the feminine attractiveness of Elena Proklova, since in her youth many men were at her feet, regardless of their age and status. The actress is credited with romances with famous colleagues - Oleg Tabakov, Oleg Yankovsky and Mikhaiy Volontir. The public repeatedly condemned the artist for this, and for her sins, fate sent her numerous trials of fate.
Elena Proklova got into cinema by accident, through the patronage of her grandfather’s friend. As a result, she played the role of Tanya Nechaeva, after which she quit sports and graduated from school as an external student. Filming offers came one after another, but because of this, the future star rarely saw her parents and was very bored. At the age of 15, Elena Proklova fell in love for the first time, but her feelings were forbidden, since the object of passion was Oleg Tabakov. At that time, the master was already over 30 years old, and his wife and two children were waiting for him at home. She didn’t want to ruin the family, so she accepted a marriage proposal from Vitaly Melik-Karamov. The marriage with the documentary filmmaker did not last long, and even the birth of their daughter Arina did not save the relationship.
After returning from maternity leave, she actively pursued her career, starring in many popular films, and also becoming an actress at the Moscow Art Theater. During the “Live Broadcast” program, Elena Proklova admitted that married Mihai Volontir and Andrei Mironov were courting her. She asked for forgiveness from the widows of famous artists, but many fans did not appreciate these revelations. In addition, after her divorce from her first husband, she still had an affair with Oleg Yankovsky, from whom she had an abortion.
The actress’s second husband was Alexander Deryabin, who healed her daughter Arina. Elena Proklova was pregnant with twins by a doctor, but they were born non-viable due to her thick blood. The marriage could not stand this test and broke up. The artist decided to try her luck in her personal life again three years later, and Andrei Trishin saved her from depression. The husband was eight years younger, but turned out to be a reliable and wise man. In this relationship, the celebrity lost another son, who died shortly after birth. She did not despair and made another attempt, giving her third husband the long-awaited daughter Polina. Officially, the marriage lasted 30 years, but the couple’s crisis began back in the 90s after the businessman’s betrayal.

WHY IS SHE TELLING THIS?
Fans of Elena Proklova are amazed: what made the actress indulge in memories of her love adventures? It would be nice to be nostalgic for times long gone, without naming names. But no, she gave up all her gentlemen.
But the wives of both Yankovsky and Mironov are alive, and it will be unpleasant for the children to learn about the adventures of their fathers. Not to mention Oleg Tabakov, who is unlikely to be delighted with the memoirs of the matured “Lolita”.
Psychologists say that those who are afraid that their time has already passed love to bravado with their stormy adventures. Talking about past victories, they seem to be trying to convince the world of their irresistibility. And again bring into life the main thing - love.
I have trouble worrying about men. Sometimes I think: do I even know what love is? — Proklova confesses. — It seems that I fell in love, and romances happened - fabulous, stormy, beautiful. And ask me now: what is love? I won't answer. I guess I don't know how to love...

The leitmotif of the program was a mention of the actress’s serious illness without specifying the diagnosis. Before admitting to having affairs with married actors, the 63-year-old woman explained why she decided to make a will.
“Because I’m already a lot of years old. And the longer I live, no less I want to have everything in the material sense. It's no longer interesting. Thank God, I have wonderful relatives who will not take anything away from me during my lifetime. I want my daughters to be calm, and my husband too. I want nothing to tie me to the ground. In my will it was like this: “Everything that I am entitled to after my divorce from my husband remains to my youngest daughter Polina. My eldest daughter got everything I was entitled to from my parents. In order not to push children against each other in financial matters,” she said.
The artist also explained the situation of her divorce from her third husband. The divorce turned out to be formal. In fact, Proklova continues to live with her ex-husband.
“Andrei Vladimirovich and I are married people. I couldn't afford to destroy this marriage. And the divorce did not take place because he or I had a new love. We have lost what unites us. All the 30 years that we lived, we lost our weight, our strength,” Elena says frankly. “It seemed to me that the worst thing I could do for a man was to put obstacles in the way of his freedom.” I said: “Okay, free.” Live as you want". And then he wants to live nearby. There’s a big difference when a man has to and a man wants.”
The Soviet screen star also admitted that 18 years ago they tried to get a divorce, decided not to do it, but drew up a prenuptial agreement:
“He fell in love with a neighbor’s daughter, a very young girl, and could not help himself. It was a very difficult period in our lives. Porlyushka [actress Polina's youngest daughter] was very little. I gave up my profession to live with our family. It was such a hectic period. The house was unfinished... I didn’t have a penny of money. I was completely stunned. I asked him to stay. I had a three year old child. It was scary. I know the feeling of being abandoned."

The culmination of the talk show on the Russia 1 channel was Elena Proklova’s confession of romances with famous actors. At this moment, the actual husband of the actress, Andrei Trishin, nervously left the television program studio.
“I have a lot of such actions on my conscience... I’m already tired of making excuses. We met for the first time in a buffet. I was walking with a cup of coffee. And oh, Yankovsky himself, the love of all the people, came to meet me. And he said: “Oh God, how amazing you are!” There was his catchphrase that he told every girl he wanted to meet and have a relationship with: “You are my destiny!” To which I said: “I don’t think so.” And she went to the table with her friends. He later told me: “I was so offended, I was so used to it that after these words any woman blossomed.” And in the evening it turned out that we were sitting in the same compartment on the train to Moscow. He agreed. And with this trip the relationship began. I was free, not married. Whether he was married or not was of little concern to me at that time. Bouquets of flowers, trips to filming in other cities, to festivals. Everything was beautiful,” the artist says in detail.
Studio guests ask Proklova several times whether Yankovsky’s wife Lyudmila Zorina really knew about her husband’s affair.
“Yes, he was married to a wonderful woman until the end of his days. The love was huge, great. I believe that the infatuation with a girl, such as I was, despite the fact that it was serious and long, it was just an infatuation. Yes, his wife knew about it,” the actress answered confidently. “She was smart, like some.” What's one thing in the acting world that wives don't know? They know everything. I do not regret anything. Firstly, I am not guilty of anyone, I was divorced. I lived my life, free, happy, loving and so on.”
“I had an abortion from Oleg. On your birthday. It was painful. It was my decision. I think I was right. I really respect his family, his wife, his wonderful talented son. Oleg is great for not doing anything more. Oleg wanted this child. But I insisted on an abortion. How could I? He has a wife and child. “I don’t think you can lay claim to something that belongs to you,” Elena recalls. - It's easy to look back. It's easy to justify your actions. It is much harder to then bring these actions to the denominator of justice, conscience and honor. Today I can reproach myself and advise others not to do this. How can I judge myself today? This is a different person."
Elena’s last loud confession was her affair with Mihai Volontir.
“My great-grandmother called me poorhouse. I have always had the lot of a comforting woman, a woman who revives me to life, who gives me strength. I now understand that this is a favorite male technique - to complain about how lonely I am, how unhappy I am. So it was with Volontir. He has always been married. His wife passed on to the end of his days. He was terribly afraid of her. There was a big scandal in the hotel where we lived,” Proklova continued to repent.
And she denied the alleged connection with Alexander Abdulov: “This is my great friend in life. No matter what was attributed to us, we never had an affair.”
Yesterday's episode of Lera Kudryavtseva's popular show "Secret for a Million" simply blew up the Internet. The fact is that the guest of the program was the famous actress Elena Proklova, who has long been credited with having affairs with her most famous colleagues.
When Lera Kudryavtseva asked the heroine of the program whether she really had affairs with such famous actors as Andrei Mironov, Alexander Abdulov, Oleg Tabakov, Oleg Yankovsky, Elena did not deny the rumors, answering the provocative question in the affirmative.
Unexpectedly for the audience, the 63-year-old actress shared details of her relationship with one of the most prominent actors in the country, Oleg Yankovsky.
“EVERYTHING WAS DONE RIGHT WITH OLEG”
Proklova has not yet spoken about the new man. But suddenly, for some reason, she revealed the secrets of the past. She never hid the fact that there were losses in her life: three children died immediately after giving birth. Two daughters, thank God, are alive and well. But it turns out that the actress had four more children. And they all died unborn. True, Elena does not consider abortion a great sin. Rather, it was a forced measure.
“I had a serious love with Oleg Yankovsky. From my side, from his,” Proklova opened up on one of the recent TV shows. The passion, according to her recollections, was so strong that the lovers were ready to run to the ends of the earth. But bad luck - Yankovsky was married for a long time and firmly.
He had a magnificent wife, whom he loved and appreciated, and I often communicated with her. The two of us decided that we had no right to hurt her by destroying the family,” Elena sighs. “That’s why when I got pregnant, I went for an abortion.
This was the second termination of pregnancy in her life. Proklova had her first abortion at the age of 17, when she was in her first year at university and had just gotten married. The grandmother decided that it was too early for her granddaughter to give birth, and took her by the hand to the doctor.
I grew up in a family where this was considered the norm. The pregnancy was two and a half months old, the deadline for termination. It was the son..."
Well, in the case of Yankovsky, she decided everything herself:
I went for this abortion on my birthday. Oleg stood under the window and asked not to do this. He wanted this child. But I had an abortion - it was cruel and painful for him. We didn’t communicate for many years afterwards. We only talked at Sasha Abdulov’s wake and decided that we had done the right thing. I think that until Yankovsky’s last days I occupied a place in his heart...
