Anton Tabakov turned 60 in July. Today he is a successful man. For several decades, he, like his famous father, Oleg Pavlovich Tabakov, devoted himself to cinema and theater. And then he became a restaurateur. Now, Anton Olegovich spends most of his time with his family.
But in order to allow himself to rest, the businessman had to work hard, so little attention was paid to the children. The restaurateur became an exemplary husband only in his fourth marriage. Why did the actor’s previous unions end in breakups?
Career turnaround
Born into a creative family, Anton, as they say, grew up behind the scenes. Just like his comrades - Denis Evstigneev and Misha Efremov. After graduating from GITIS, Tabakov acted in films and played in the theater. At first, his father doubted his talent, but over ten years his son was able to open up so much that the master realized his mistake and even invited him to the Tabakerka theater.

In the nineties, financial difficulties began, and the artist had to look for other types of income. Previously, he had a hobby - organizing buffets at advertising and public events. It transformed into the profession of a restaurateur.
"Training" marriage
At the age of 18, Anton met Evgenia, a nurse from the clinic. The relationship was passionate and developed into a hasty marriage, which broke up after a couple of years. One of the guests at the wedding was Nikita Mikhalkov, who proposed a toast to the “training” marriage. And so it happened. According to Tabakov, the young people had different interests and there was nothing to talk about. However, there were no serious reasons for divorce.
Second marriage
Anton's first love was Asya Vorobyova, whom they met in the Baltics on vacation. A youthful romance broke out between them, but it quickly faded. And then they met again after several years. Asya was already divorced, like Anton. The new meeting ended in a wedding.

But this marriage was not destined to last long. According to rumors, the reason for the divorce was his wife’s infidelity. And not with anyone, but with Mikhail Efremov, the actor’s bosom friend. However, Anton Tabakov refutes these rumors. Yes, they had an affair, but after breaking up with her husband. There were certain difficulties in the marriage, but it’s difficult to say who is to blame.
From the maternity hospital to the plane
Tabakov was born in the marriage of Oleg Tabakov with actress Lyudmila Krylova . The boy was born earlier than planned, exactly on tour of the Sovremennik Theater, where his parents then served. Both Krylova and Tabakov needed to continue to go on stage. What to do? The newborn was transferred by plane to Moscow to his grandmother.
Little Anton spent a lot of time in the theater, behind the scenes; his parents often had no one to leave the child with, so they took him with them. So Anton made new friends: the same “children of the scenes” Mikhail Efremov and Denis Evstigneev.

Common-law wife
Anton’s next chosen one is Ekaterina Semenova, at that time she was studying at a theater institute. But they didn’t get to the registry office.
When his son, named Nikita, was born, Tabakov was happy. In his opinion, the separation occurred due to misunderstandings. Probably, they couldn’t forgive each other for something. Perhaps out of naivety, he tried to mold something out of a partner who didn’t like it. Anton Olegovich has not lost contact with his son, although he had to do a lot of work in restaurants.

On March 12, the legendary actor and director Oleg Tabakov died. At the farewell ceremony for the master, fans did not notice his first wife Lyudmila Krylova and daughter Alexandra. Rumor has it that they never forgave the artist for leaving the family. Whether this is true, one can only guess. Lyudmila Ivanovna and Alexandra Tabakova do not give interviews on this topic. Recently, a friend of Oleg Pavlovich and his ex-wife, Yulia Kosareva, shared her view of his relationship with his ex-wife and heiress.
According to Tabakov’s friend, she communicated with both him and Krylova. In 1993, Kosareva learned that friends were getting divorced on the initiative of Lyudmila Ivanovna. “You probably think I’m the only one to blame? But I’m just tired and want to prolong my life. The marriages are over!” – the director said to Yulia. She convinced the artist that he would soon tie the knot again.
“How did I survive their divorce? Difficult. And Oleg is a dear person to me, and Lyusya. All the blame was on Tabakov. Besides, Lucy was left alone: Anton and Sasha were already adults... And I chose her,” said Yulia.

Tabakov and Krylova did not share property. As their good friend said, Oleg Pavlovich simply paid his ex-wife a certain amount. With this money Lyudmila Ivanovna bought and furnished an apartment. Kosareva notes that Krylova never said a single bad word about her ex-wife. “But he himself repeatedly smeared his former family life in the press,” she added.
According to Kosareva, Oleg Pavlovich’s eldest children, Anton and Alexandra, suffered the most from the divorce. At that time they were already adults with their own position in life. “It was difficult for them to forgive their father for this situation,” says Yulia. Alexandra soon left the Tabakerka, where she served.
“I think she couldn’t bear that her father’s future wife was sitting with her in the same dressing room, side by side. Before leaving the troupe, Sasha told her father everything she thought about him and his theater. Two very strong characters collided. And no one made concessions,” said Tabakov’s friend.

Over time, Anton made peace with his father. Oleg Pavlovich went to the heir’s restaurants. The master’s son named the establishment “Oblomov” in his honor. But Alexandra never established communication with her parent.

“Sasha’s acting life is completely over, although after “Snuffbox” any theater would have probably accepted her. But since the gossip about Tabakov’s divorce did not stop for a long time - some sympathized, others gloated - Sasha probably did not want to plunge into all this again. Conversations, discussions, questions... She worked as a presenter on the radio, acted on television in a program for teenagers,” Kosareva said.
During a conversation with the magazine “Caravan of Stories,” Tabakov’s friend also noticed that he had changed after his second marriage. “A kind, good, talented person. But different,” noted Yulia Kosareva.

Third official union
When the restaurateur met Anastasia, the daughter of director Pavel Chukhrai, at a party, he fell head over heels in love with her. She became Tabakov's third official wife, giving him a daughter, Anya. However, this union also fell apart after 12 years.

Fourth wife
She became Angelica, who at the time of her meeting with Anton was studying at a linguistic university. Their age difference is 25 years.
But this did not bother them. The partners began their life together. They got married only after 10 years of relationship. Then they already had two daughters - Antonina and Maria.
Tabakov admits that his fourth wife changed him radically. If before the main thing for him was business, now family comes first. In connection with this, in 2020 he closed Moscow restaurants. Now the family lives in France. Parents pay a lot of attention to their growing children.

Children of Oleg Tabakov: the craving for acting was passed on to all four

The eldest son and daughter are from his first marriage to actress Lyudmila Krylova. His second wife, Marina Zudina, also gave birth to Tabakov’s son and daughter, making him a father four times over at the age of 71. The age difference between his first-born Anton and the youngest Masha is 46 years. C'est la vie...
ANTON TABAKOV, 57 YEARS OLD
Profession: businessman and restaurateur, theater and film actor.
Personal life: married for the fourth time, father of four children.
Antoshka, the first-born of Oleg Tabakov and Lyudmila Krylova, was born when the actors were very young. He is 25, she is 21. The boy literally grew up behind the scenes. He studied at a prestigious school with the grandchildren of Khrushchev and Stalin, but did not particularly shine in the lessons. But already at the age of 7 he became famous as an actor, playing Timur in the film “Timur and His Team” based on the story by Arkady Gaidar.
However, his father did not approve of his son’s desire to become an actor. But Anton still graduated from GITIS, worked in Sovremennik and Tabakerka, and played more than thirty roles in theater and cinema. And one day I realized: dad was right. To be an actor, you have to be in love with this profession, but that’s not the case with him. The divorce of parents also played a certain role in leaving the profession. For about 10 years, the son did not communicate with his father; he was offended for leaving his first family. But later their relationship warmed up.

Back in the difficult 90s, Anton, for the sake of additional income, was engaged in advertising, organizing various events and banquets. And he found himself in business, becoming a restaurateur, and a very successful one at that. The Moscow art cafe “Pilot”, the restaurants “Oblomov”, “Mao”, “Kafk”, “Antonio”, “Longe Shu”, “Stolz”, the coffee house “Ilya Ilyich” - these are his brainchildren. Moreover, Anton not only manages, but also introduces new dishes to the menu himself and tastes everything.
From his father, Tabakov inherited not only his acting and managerial talents, but also his incredible charm and love of love.
Now he is married for the fourth time, his wife Anzhelika is a translator, 24 years younger. They met on a plane flying from Nice to Moscow. We've been together for 15 years. The couple has two schoolgirl daughters – Antonina and Maria. The family has been living in Paris for several years, where Anton bought property. He himself lived in two countries, but recently sold restaurants in Moscow and also moved to France to spend more time with his girls and see how they grow.
Tabakov's previous marriages broke up for various reasons. Discord occurred both through the fault of the always busy Anton and through the fault of his women. So, Asiya’s first wife left Anton for his friend, actor Mikhail Efremov, while already pregnant, and she herself filed for divorce. After this story, the friends stopped communicating. Second wife Ekaterina Semenova believes that their marriage broke up because of her. Like, Anton was already 34, he wanted a family, a house. And she was more interested in her career. Nikita was born into this marriage. Tabakov lived with his third wife Anastasia Chukhrai, a TV presenter and daughter of film director Pavel Chukhrai, for 12 years; they have a daughter, Anna. Tabakov continued to take care of both older children after the divorces.

Nikita Tabakov is 28 years old. He graduated from New York University, then entered the producing department of the New York Film School. At the same time, he worked in a brokerage firm. Like his father, he was interested in the restaurant business and was planning to return to Moscow. So Anton Tabakov really hopes that his son will continue his work.

Anna Tabakova is 18. A girl with such a rich film pedigree on both lines turned out to be from a different cloth. She is studying to become a PR specialist at a British college. Anna has a model appearance: a long-legged beauty, taller than her father by a head. And although she tried herself as a model, she has no plans to connect her life with the catwalk.
ALEXANDRA TABAKOVA, 51 YEARS OLD
Profession: actress.
Personal life: divorced, has a daughter.
When Oleg Tabakov left his first family, Sasha was 29 years old. Alexandra graduated from the Moscow Art Theater School and showed great promise as an actress. She worked at her father’s “Tabakerka”, acted in films... Many remember her from the film “Little Vera”, where Sasha played the main character’s girlfriend. But she gave up everything after Tabakov divorced her mother. As a sign of protest and so as not to interfere with his traitor father. Sasha knew Marina Zudina - they came to work together at Tabakerka, and this further aggravated the resentment. They did not communicate with Oleg Pavlovich until his death. However, Alexandra’s acquaintances believe that her career did not work out due to the fault of Sasha herself: they say, she herself did not particularly want to work anywhere.
Having come to her senses after the story with her parents, Alexandra married the aspiring German actor Jan Josef Liefers (known for the film “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door”), went to join him in Germany, and gave birth to a daughter, Polina. But she missed Moscow, filed for divorce and returned home with her daughter. Liefers regularly paid alimony for his daughter and wife (these are German laws), so that both were not in poverty.

Later, Tabakova had a relationship with actor Andrei Ilyin. She was a presenter at a radio station, voiced children's fairy tales, and hosted a program on television. But she didn’t stay anywhere for long. Now he is unemployed. No personal life, no friends. Her main meaning is her daughter.

Polina Liefers is 29. She looks very much like her mother. She graduated from the production department of the Moscow Art Theater School, works as a theater artist, collaborates with the Oleg Tabakov Theater, the educational theater of the Moscow Art Theater School, and takes part in art exhibitions as an artist.

PAVEL TABAKOV, 22 YEARS OLD
Profession: actor.
Personal life: not married.
Pavel is a handsome, sophisticated, intelligent guy... He has been involved in music since childhood. At the age of 12 he first appeared on the stage of the Moscow Art Theater, but even then he was not eager to become an actor. I wanted to become a businessman, like my older brother Anton, and study at a business college. However, in his senior year he suddenly announced that he would go to theater school with his dad. Oleg Pavlovich tried to dissuade him, assuring him that he would not be given any concessions - it did not help. Pavel graduated from the Moscow Tabakov Theater College. Now he plays in the theater and acts in films. She also tries her hand at advertising and fashion shows. Giorgio Armani himself invited him to present his 2020 collection.
Pasha is not married yet. Recently I met with the Moscow Art Theater actress Masha Fomina. They were even considered the bride and groom. But Marina Zudina dispelled rumors about the wedding.
MASHA TABAKOVA, 11 YEARS OLD
Schoolgirl.
Masha was born when her mother Marina Zudina was 41 years old, and her father was 71. A late, dearly beloved child. Marina admitted that she dreamed of giving birth to her husband’s anniversary, but her daughter decided in her own way. The baby was named after Oleg Tabakov’s mother, a radiologist. Masha studies at the British School in Moscow, in the fourth grade. Open, cheerful, sociable - it’s not surprising that everyone adore her. But her most important “fans” from birth were her father and brother Pasha. Marusya already dreams of being an artist, but time will tell how strong her desire is. In any case, both her older brothers and sister inherited the acting genes from their father.
