Bella Akhmadulina's daughter Elizaveta Kulieva - about the book by Marina Zavada and Yuri Kulikov “Bella. Meetings in the Following ”, published in the series“ Close Past ”.

- Previous book about mom ( author - B. Messerer. - "MG") Is 700 pages of narcissism. The attempt to privatize something that cannot belong to anyone, as I said, is just a consequence of bad taste. Actually, my mother, with her characteristic perspicacity, anticipated a similar attitude towards herself: "... After all, before you know me, / you should kill me" - the ideal epigraph for the book "Me and Celebrities" (my version of the title), the author of which modestly tells about mom, speaking practically from her face. In fact, the author talks about himself, or rather, wants to tell, because we do not learn anything about him from the book, and it turns out that it is not entirely clear what the book is about and why: it is a detailed list of famous names and used delicacies - here that's all. If it were not for the lie (and forgery in everything: selective quotation, disdain for those whose names cannot attract the attention of the general public, deliberate distortion of facts, eternal interpretation of everything and absolute disrespect for a gift that is given from above and does not need any other guardianship, except for "a look from above") - if not for this, the book would have been a harmless test of the pen of a small man with great ambitions, dreaming of leaving a memory of himself in history.

Now for the good.

"Bella. Followed by "is a book that has nothing to do with the previous one. The book tells first of all about her mother - people whom she herself appointed as her adjutants, or maybe seconds, speak about her: not those to whom Bella Akhmadulina, without hesitation, entrusted identity documents, the right to sign, royalties and “all property movable and immovable "(this is from her note) ... and those whose artistic taste and moral character met her high requirements, and now only this is important, because money and real estate cannot make a poet happy even during his lifetime, and after death he still has even less - just fame, good or bad.

And now, having fulfilled the poet's last wishes (my mother wanted to entrust her memories to them during her lifetime, but this was not destined to happen), Marina Zavada and Yuri Kulikov restored justice. Their book is an example of courteous authenticity and an example of good taste. Awareness is incredibly combined here with human delicacy and a deep knowledge of culture in general and literature in particular. The main thing is that this book is a fireworks of love. How else can we talk about mom? Reading is an extraordinary pleasure - as if a door is opening before us into that mysterious and wonderful world, about which we have heard so much, but the entrance to which is forbidden for an ordinary person. Suddenly objects that seemed to us to be props come to life, interiors that we thought were decorations come to life, heroes come to life. Now you can become closer to your mother, see her as she was for loved ones, you will hear her voice, you will understand how she felt. And it is also invaluable - the opportunity to touch those who talk about mom: mostly the interlocutors of Marina and Yura are the best of the best, the chosen ones, absolutely "benign", as mom said, people with whom we would like to be friends, but there is no such opportunity - we didn't deserve it. The book took place already because a miracle happened: you seem to be talking face to face with Marina Vlady and Vladimir Voinovich, with Mikhail Shemyakin and Maria Bankul. Even from such a short list, it is immediately clear that the criterion for selecting heroes was not how famous they were, but how close they were to their mother (if not in an everyday sense, then in spirit), and this in itself means that we are talking about people special, thinking, bright.

Unusual artistic accuracy combined with special journalistic accuracy and human interest in the subject is an amazing feature of the talent of Marina Zavada and Yuri Kulikov. Here's Bella Akhmadulina - the way she was for many: for those who loved her. The power of the image, its authenticity surprised me: no one could have told better about my mother. I will also say that Marina and Yura have done a great job: they have been working on this book for several years. Finally, I must apologize for the fact that on the pages of the book I am adjacent to Marina Vlady and Laura Guerra, Voinovich and Rost. Every word I say makes me blush - - I don't deserve this neighborhood. Just skip my interview and read on: otherwise the book is great - I praise it not for a reason, but in spite of it. It was not conceived by me, and my sister Anya and I practically did not take part in its creation - otherwise I would not dare to speak about it so enthusiastically. This book will make you richer. She will make you better.

Elizaveta Kulieva

... While visiting Kashif Elgarov, a living legend of our literature, looking at the numerous photographs in which the aksakal has been captured for more than six decades, I drew attention to three almost identical photographs taken in the fall of 1956 on the Red Square of the capital. On them, Kashif, a student of the Literary Institute, is depicted with his teacher, songwriter Alexander Kovalenkov, the author of the lines popular in those years "The sun disappeared behind the mountain, / The river rifts clouded, / And along the steppe road / Soviet soldiers went home from the war", his wife Elizaveta and fellow students - Stas Valis, no information about whom I even found on the knowledgeable Internet and Bella Akhmadulina (1937-2010), whose name speaks for itself.

Together with these photographs lay another one, taken in the same year, but not in the capital, but in Nalchik. It shows two young guys next to Kashif (with a stack of books in his hands). These are the Mullaev brothers - Zuber and Boris. The latter is better known as Barasbi, in whose filmography the paintings "Avalanche from the Mountains", "A Hero of Our Time", "The Horseman with Lightning in His Hand", "The Tabor Goes to the Sky", "Rampant Terek", "The Peaks Do Not Sleep", "The Wounded stones "," Let's part - so far good "," The road to the edge of life "and a number of others.

And who is the boy? - more out of curiosity than any interest, I asked.
- This is Eldar Kuliev, - answered Kashif.
And the photographs that happened to be nearby formed a mosaic of human destiny.
Wikipedia says about Bella Akhmadulina's personal life as follows: “From 1955 to 1958 Akhmadulina was the first wife of Yevgeny Yevtushenko. From 1959 to November 1, 1968 - the fifth wife of Yuri Nagibin. This marriage collapsed, according to the testimony of Nagibin himself in his published "Diary" and fictionalized memoirs of Vasily Aksyonov "Mysterious Passion", because of the poetess's bold ... experiments. In 1968, after divorcing Nagibin, Akhmadulina took her adopted daughter Anna into foster care. From the son of the Balkar classic Kaysyn Kuliev - Eldar Kuliev (1951-2017) in 1973 Akhmadulina gave birth to a daughter, Elizabeth. In 1974 she married for the fourth and last time - to the theatrical artist Boris Messerer ... The first daughter, Anna, graduated from the Polygraphic Institute, designs books as an illustrator. Daughter Elizabeth, like her mother, graduated from the Literary Institute. "
The site http://sobesednik.ru contains an interview with Alla Grigorievna Nagibina, the widow of the famous writer Yuri Nagibin. It is full of the most piquant details that we will omit, and will only reproduce the main thing: “In 1967, in the company of those whom we now call the“ sixties ”, passions were seething. Yuri Nagibin put his wife, Bella Akhmadulina, out on the street, firmly declaring: "I will no longer live with you!" - Bella did not want to leave Yuri. For eight years of marriage, they often parted, once a break in the relationship reached a year. Therefore, everyone thought: rage, rage and make peace. But Nagibin said: "That's it!"
... Why Nagibin was adamant becomes clear if you read a scene from Vasily Aksenov's novel "The Mysterious Passion". In it, he described the separation of Yuri Nagibin and Bella Akhmadulina, in the novel he calls her Akho or Nella: “He opened the door with his key, stepped inside and immediately flew back to the stairwell ... Excessive perfume, excessive coffee, excessive nicotine, excessive cognac ... He reached the living room and playfully called out, "Ahho!" The answer was silence, slightly broken by a disturbing female snorer. He stepped into the bedroom and was dumbfounded ... "
Alla Nagibina continues: “The marriage with the son of the Balkar classic Kaisyn Kuliev, Eldar, is the most mysterious in the biography of Akhmadulina. Where this man came from, no one in Bella's company understood. For example, Nagibin writes that he met him in a restaurant, where ... he stood up for a young man. Eldar was 17 years younger than Bella, but they became friends. Perhaps that is why, having filed an official divorce from Akhmadulina, Nagibin relented to her and bought him an apartment with her husband. - They lived in the same house, on Chernyakhovsky Street, as Yuri and I.
... Bella did not live long with him. "
But it was not at all the details of the personal lives of Bella Akhmadulina and Eldar Kuliev, which, unfortunately, are available to everyone on the Internet, prompted to turn to this story, but the interconnection of seemingly random episodes that formed its basis.
... Literally a couple of days after the meeting with Kashif, it became known about the death of Eldar Kuliyev on January 14 this year. In the obituary, which was published by the republican newspapers, it was said that Kaisyn's son “at the Dovzhenko film studio made a three-part television film based on his script“ Wounded Stones ”; his story "Farewell Look" "received recognition in the literary and reading environment."
On the same day, a former resident of Nalchan, Sergei Kasyanov, who now lives in Moscow and works as a concert director, entered the publishing house. Sergey is a very famous person in pop circles. What he does and who he is is revealed by the information posted on the Operetta Revival Center website: “This man has accompanied Alla Bayanova in her creative career for 20 years, helping her in organizing concerts and creative meetings. With his help, Vladimir Zeldin, Lyudmila Lyadova, Rimma Markova and many other idols of the Soviet era, who had a hard time adapting to the market realities of a changed country, gathered full halls. He managed to remind the general public of the still talented "oldies".
Sergey is responsible for organizational work with creative teams, including touring the country. "
We have known Sergei for a long time, he took part in a number of our expeditions around the republic and when he arrives in Nalchik he certainly makes himself felt. In this arrival, he saw the photographs, taken from Kashif Elgarov, lying on the table and prepared for scanning. He looked closely and said inquiringly: "Bella Akhmadulina?" And, having received an affirmative answer, he continued: “Surprisingly, we just remembered her. The fact is that I brought an icon of Bella from Moscow, which Volodya Mokaev gave her, but it so happened that she could not take it. And the icon returned to Volodya again ”.

But for the reader to understand everything in this story, it must be told first.
And it was like this. In 1970, Eldar and Bella arrived in Nalchik. Initially, they lived in Kaisyn's apartment, but then Akhmadulina (for obvious reasons) moved to the Rossiya hotel; their room was on the top floor. The young people led a riotous life, and she demanded money. One day, Eldar called Volodya Mokaev, now a well-known artist, poet, musician, museum worker, in a word, a well-rounded and creative person. Volodya and Eldar had known each other since childhood, as they lived in neighboring houses on Lenin Avenue. On a request to help out financially, Mokaev responded - he came to the hotel "Russia", giving the last threefold. At that time, the amount is very solid. Volodya recalls how Bella, standing on the balcony, looked at the mountains, recited poetry, ending them with the words: "Pushkin, Lermontov, and now I saw them."
This was not their only meeting. Unfortunately, the merry life went on and the icon that Akhmadulina brought with her went to provide it. Volodya was asked to sell it. But there was no buyer for this unusual thing, and it so happened that it was left to Mokaev at the expense of the sums received from him.
This icon is unusual - from the Russian North, and they are called "Northern Letters". North Russian icon painting is distinguished by simplicity of images, brightness and purity of colors. The Akhmadulinskaya depicts the Nil Stolobensky (end of the 15th century - 1555), who founded the Nilo-Stolobensky hermitage and canonized as a saint. Neil's asceticism reached the point that he even refused to sleep lying down and, in order not to assume a horizontal position, drove stakes into the wall of the cell; leaning on them, and rested. That is why they called him the pillar-dweller. These pegs are also on the icon.
In short, the icon remained in the collection of Vladimir Mokaev. In subsequent years, Bella repeatedly came to Kabardino-Balkaria, they saw each other. At one time there was even talk about the publication of his book, which Akhmadulina promised to attach to one of the foreign publishing houses. But it never came to that.
And then this is what happened. According to Volodya, one night in 2010 in a dream he heard a voice telling him to return the icon to Akhmadulina. Mokaev told his wife about this, and they both decided that such a dream most likely portends an early departure.
Volodya didn't even have to think about how exactly to convey the icon. On the same day at an exhibition at the Republican Museum of Fine Arts in Nalchik. where Mokaev works as the chief curator, he met a young man who introduced himself as Sergei Kasyanov. In the conversation, it turned out that the concert director is now organizing Bella Akhmadulina's creative evening. Sergei agreed to hand over the icon.
But that never happened. On November 10, 2010, the life of one of the most brilliant poetesses of our country ended. The icon of Nile the Stylite never returned to her. After Bella's death, Kasyanov called Mokaev and asked what to do next. Volodya asked to give the icon to his daughter Bella, but she refused to take it, saying that her mother had not told her anything about it.
Neil Stylite returned to our city ...
... Volodya brought the icon to the publishing house. I held in my hands this small blackboard, blackened from time to time, and tried to understand what was behind this cycle of events: from Moscow to Nalchik, then to Moscow and again to Nalchik; who this shrine was for the one to whom it belonged, why did it leave her hands and never return, although as if circumstances contributed to this.
Neil Stylite could answer the questions that worried me, but he was silent: icons do not speak, they only look ...
Soon after the death of Bella Akhmadulina, the Sobesednik.ru website published an interview with her daughter, Elizaveta Kuliyeva. Here are some snippets from it:
“... Mother was afraid for her insight. It was believed that she, like an X-ray, sees through people. Mom had a definition: "a benign person."
She saw through the "poor" ones like a clairvoyant. I was always surprised that vigilance and flair in her are incomprehensibly combined with innocence. I didn’t suspect only its scale. In recent months, when we were in close contact, my mother's disarming gullibility at every step was downright striking.
Usually everything depended on her attitude towards the person. If she was disposed to him, then she trusted enthusiastically, infinitely. If there was a negative attitude (and often biased, inexplicable), then - the most absolute dislike. She was not rude - although she allowed herself to be harsh when faced with villains. But my mother made an aloof, gloomy face, as if expressing: I am so bored with you. The word "boring" was defining in her attitude towards a large part of humanity. This does not mean that she despised someone. I just couldn't find common ground ...
… So I am thinking: what unites us three? We are all different - mom, Anya, me. However, there is a family trait, it is not ... bam, genetically transmitted, my mother brought us up so that we are not capable of meanness. Both my sister and I do not know how to weave intrigues, to swindle. At work, it’s easier for me to punch in directly than to act on the sly ... It wasn’t that my mother, for example, said: “Sit down, girls, I will explain to you what is good and what is bad”. Never - in an edifying form, never - notation, but everything she said was about this: a person must be honest, generous; greed, cowardice, vanity are disgusting. Goodness meant openness, the inability to betray, and the ability to compassion. That is, she raised us specifically. Including mentioning situations and her own actions when she showed these traits.
... Only a few months have passed since my mother passed away, and now we just feel a gaping hole in the place of the heart. It seems to me that another six months or a year will pass and I will understand: mother is in everything in the world, around. I feel it flowing into me, into Anka, into every surrounding thing ... It will be so. In the meantime, her physical absence is a failure, a huge void. And the fact that my mother is a great poet is how we learned well from childhood to separate one from the other. Anya and I do not feel like the children of the great poet, but the children of our mother. And yet we know that she is a great poet. It's not woven for us at all. "
... Bella Akhmadulina left. Gone forever. But remained, and remained forever, her poems, her unique voice. And an icon that remembers the warmth of her hands.

SHE PRESIRED THE SOVIET LANGUAGE

Bella was not a rebel in poetry. She willingly acknowledged the supreme role of her teachers. This iconostasis - Tsvetaeva, Akhmatova, Pasternak and Mandelstam - was her altar, she wrote in verse that they all said there was nothing further. It seems to me, on the contrary, it is necessary to revolt viciously, to tear the paper from youth, and not to glue the pages. This did not happen for Akhmadulina - but many other things happened.

Bella's innovation was that she despised the Soviet language and introduced archaism there, gallant refined expressions, she turned poetry to face the individual, to private life. It is difficult to place her on a par with Khlebnikov, Mayakovsky or Brodsky. Although Brodsky gallantly called her the best - but, obviously, after himself ...

And, of course, her passion for friendship. Her poetry is the poetry of friendship. Hence the Pushkin intonations. Once, when she got bored, she called it - "asexual monster friendship." This is very accurate.

TWO MASKS - BELLA AND VYSOTSKY

It is rather comparable to Vysotsky, they are two parallel phenomena. Vysotsky consisted of a guitar, wheezing, poetry, bohemia - drunkenness and life to break. Akhmadulina also consisted of different parts.

If Vysotsky has a wheeze, then Akhmadulina has a silver spring voice. Strong and mesmerizing. This raised chin, bangs. But the main thing that united them was a poetic mask. And the joke with the mask is bad. Bella was secretive. The mask makes a person unapproachable, creates myths, but prevents him from feeling himself.

The great poet is afraid of either cats, or God, or death. In her poems there are many imprudent judgments about the existence of the Almighty. But this was charismatic for the 60s. Volodya also had his own mask. But she sometimes broke down strongly ... I believe that these two images - Bella and Volodya - are a monument to their time.

Demonic mind

Akhmadulina is devilishly, devilishly smart. And a lot of loneliness has accumulated in her, precisely because of the mind. Bella is also absolutely stranded. All the Tatar-Mongol yoke in her was united in the sense of energy. She wrote at night and after drinking. There was both the queen of bohemia and the queen of moral judgment - this is paradoxical, but true.

And Bella had a good idea of ​​who was who. Then in Moscow there were only two places where distinguished guests aspired - these are the Kremlin and the attic of Messerer and Akhmadulina. And there, in the attic, everyone was given such comic "shoulder straps." Antonioni came, so he was a marshal. Brodsky is also a marshal. And there I slowly grew up in ranks ...

Without her, the sixties would have been thinner, more bony. She was a soft cloth, a woman's flesh.

She had everything - sex and charisma ...

I fell in love with her in the ninth grade, at the age of 15. I went to her evenings in the Tchaikovsky Hall. And he suffered from the thought that here was a woman living a festive, carnival life, and I was such an old Moscow schoolboy. But in the end it was she who confused me and even seduced me in some way - even before we met.

And we met violently in 1978, when we were making Metropole. She was bold, in the prime of beauty and very seductive, irresistible. I was her faithful knight, served as a feeling. Not only schoolchildren fell in love with her, but also the generals of the KGB, Sakharov, and, I'm sure Brezhnev would gladly take an autograph. Everything was in her - sex, drunkenness, charisma, and a high chin.

Messerer - the light of life

Borya is her savior, her muse. They are a curious combination. There, everyone is the Master and Margarita in front of each other. Borya always dressed her in his best, and it was always black and white. He prolonged its existence and extracted from it many poems that would have remained as dust. Now he cares endlessly about her archive. And he is heartbroken. This is love to the grave.

In her youth, she knew how to walk a lot ... but this is hearsay, I know her already different, stable. But her friendship with my namesake Venichka Erofeev, who was also such a synthetic figure, is also understandable. His "Moscow - Petushki" is strongly associated with drunkenness, with harsh assessments of what is happening around. In this they are united.

Around "one hundred and first kilometer"

There was some kind of evolution in Bella when she looked back and realized that there was one "one hundred and first kilometer" around her. And somehow she fell silent. And in this silence was her strength. She just didn't lie.

Rather, time begged her a little for the right to exist than vice versa.

The youngest daughter of Akhmadulina Elizaveta KULIEVA: "Mom always remained a child - that's why she looked young"

Vladimir Pozner in his book writes about the attitude to the poetry of Akhmadulina, Voznesensky in the 60s - they say, they did not follow poetry, for spiritual freedom. I compared the attitude towards them and towards Vysotsky. By the way, having measured eternity to Akhmadulina, and to Vysotsky - today.

Mom considered Vysotsky a genius. They were friends. Once Vysotsky came to our home at the "Airport" - I was five years old, and Anya, my sister, ten. And suddenly my mother said: "Vladimir Vysotsky will come now." We didn’t know who it was, but by the intonation we understood that he was some kind of wonderful person. He came and gave us the record "Alice in Wonderland". We have always been proud of the inscription on the disc: "Anya and Liza from Vladimir Vysotsky."

- Is it true that poetry is born from burning pain or love?

I know for sure what hurt my mother, she always sympathized with people who were forced to earn their living through backbreaking work. And my mother also broke her heart when she saw stray animals. And when faced with cruelty.

I make a living from advertising. Since childhood, my mother taught me and my sister how important it is not to depend on anyone. And my independence was a matter of her pride. There is nothing reprehensible in advertising: it is the best of all that is shown on TV.

- How she endured aging - it's hard for such a beauty ...

At heart, my mother was a child and therefore always looked young. And she was not afraid of age: ugly old age and nostalgia for lost youth are the lot of stupid people. Mom was smart and looked great. She was oppressed by something else: in recent years, due to blindness, she could not read and write. I think she just decided not to live, because she could not vegetate in idleness. This is how I explain her illness and sudden departure to myself.

- They say Akhmadulina looked down on money?

Yes, sometimes there was not enough money: in the early 80s, my mother was banned, books were not published. At one time, our nanny, instead of receiving a salary from my mother, worked part-time with the neighbors - so that Anya and I could eat well. These are the people who used to meet.

- How did you celebrate birthdays, what did you give?

Mom turned her birthday into an unforgettable holiday. While I slept, heaps of gifts were piled under the pillow or, when I woke up, a bicycle drove into the room. And there was always a huge children's table on the terrace. And along with the gifts, my mother gave me a poem.

In general, my mother knew how to rejoice and please others. Her tragic image is rather that Bella Akhmadulina, which was created by the public. She loved life very much. Her early texts are full of this enthusiasm for life, love for all that exists. This is what I love the most about her. And it is for such a mother that I miss most of all.

Bella Akhmadulina is a Russian poet, writer and translator, one of the greatest lyric poetesses of the 20th century. Her poems have become a kind of anthem of the Soviet era, the difficult life during this period, and some kind of loneliness pinching the soul.

Even those who have never picked up collections of her poems have heard Akhmadullina's rhymes, because they are imbued with the best Soviet films. For example, the poem "On my street, which year .." became a romance performed by Alla Pugacheva in all the known, and one of the most beloved films of the Soviet era "Irony of fate or enjoy yourself!"

She began writing her first poems back in 1955, but even then her naive and touching lines attracted the attention of the public and other, more eminent authors. At that time, they did not know anything about the young poetess, but today she is famous in all countries of the former USSR, so you can find out everything about the writer, even such trifles as height, weight, age. How old Bella Akhmadulina was at the time of her death is also not a universal secret.

The poet died in 2010 at the age of 73, leaving behind an invaluable contribution to an entire era.

Biography of Bella Akhmadulina

Bella Akhmadulina's biography dates back to 1937 in Moscow. The girl began to write her first timid poems, filled with youthful experiences, quite early, and already at the age of 15, as literary experts say today, she found her own style. Bella was a member of the Literary Association and after school really wanted to enter the faculty of the Literary Institute. The girl's parents dreamed that she would enter the journalism faculty, but Akhmadullina failed the exams, after which she went to work for the Metrostroevets newspaper, having entered the institute only the next year. That time knows many tragedies, Bella saw them too. As a university student, she refused to sign the letter of accusation of Boris Pasternak, after which she was expelled. Of course, the official reason is not her passing the exam. But Akhmadullina graduated from the institute, later she was restored.

In 1962, she released her first compilation, and then another, and another. In total, the poetess in Soviet times published 8 collections of poems, and Akhmadullina herself more than once spoke out in support of writers who were unreasonably accused of anti-Sovietism. In 1993, she signed the Forty-Two Letter.

Bella Akhmadulina died on November 29, 2010. The grave, the photo of which is on the poetess's Wikipedia page, is located at the Novodevichy cemetery.

Bella Akhmadulina's personal life

Bella Akhmadulina's personal life, like her poems and rhymes, is full of tragedies.

The poetess was officially married four times, and between these clichés there were other men in her life. She was loved, admired, she was literally carried in her arms, but as in the lives of other great and famous women, Bella always confronted the fact that each of her husbands lived with a poetess, and not with a woman. It just so happened that every love of Akhmadullina broke her heart, and being the wife of public people and writers, who, it would seem, should understand the essence of her life and existence like no one else, were not ready for Bella's opinion and vision. Everyone tried to remake her, but you just had to love.

Bella Akhmadulina's family

The writer was born in a difficult time, her entire childhood is closely connected with the war. Her father, Akhat Valeevich, was a party and Komsomol worker, and when the girl was only two years old, he was drafted to war, where he served as a major in the guard.

The poet's mother, Nadezhda Makarovna, was a translator in the state security agencies, as well as the niece of the revolutionary Alexander Stopani. During the war, Bella and her maternal grandmother were evacuated to Kazan, and returned home only after the end of the war. Bella Akhmadulina's family saw that the girl was going through the consequences and sorrows of the war, she was more comfortable alone, and she devotes all her free time to writing poetry, but at that time they could not even suspect that soon everyone, young and old, would know her name. ...

Children of Bella Akhmadulina

They say that creative people are not at all adapted to everyday life, and even more so to raising children. This has already been said more than once by those who themselves are a creative person, and those who were brought up in a family of people of art.

The poetess has one own daughter, Elizabeth, who was born in the third marriage of the writer. But before that, Akhmadullina took up a girl from an orphanage, Anna, who, in other respects, did not become a native of the poetess. The children of Bella Akhmadulina, after she got married for the fourth time, remained to live with the poet's mother and father, and were brought up by them to the end.

Bella Akhmadulina's daughter - Elizaveta Kulieva

Bella Akhmadulina's daughter, Elizaveta Kuliyeva, is the only daughter of the great poetess, she was born in 1973. The girl lived with her mother for some time, and then was brought up by her grandmother. Despite the fact that the daughter of the poetess was left to herself for most of her childhood, the woman has no grudge against her mother, she always understood her subtle mental organization and once said that her mother “was an elf”.

Last year, the daughter of the famous writer presented a book about her mother “Bella. Meetings of the afterbirth ”in the presidential center of Boris Yeltsin. The woman told the main milestones in Akhmadulina's life.

Former husband of Bella Akhmadulina - Evgeny Yevtushenko

Former husband of Bella Akhmadulina - Yevgeny Yevtushenko became her first love. She was 25 years old, and the two poets were attracted to each other, as if opposite poles of magnets. Yevtushenko was the first to appreciate her poetry ten years ago, and their romance began much later. They met at the institute and then their relationship was only friendly, until Eugene timidly confessed his love to the girl.

They lived in perfect harmony, the husband literally looked into his wife's mouth, writing down his words about love in poetry. Soon Bella became pregnant, but despite the love, Yevtushenko was not ready for this. He forced his wife to have an abortion, which was the beginning of the end of their marriage.

Former husband of Bella Akhmadulina - Yuri Nagibin

Former husband of Bella Akhmadulina - Yuri Nagibin Russian journalist, writer, screenwriter. Immediately after the divorce, the poetess met her second husband, with whom she went down the aisle in 1959. He was a famous ladies' man, and women fell right at his feet. Bella became the fifth wife of a prose writer, but not the last.

They had been married for 9 years, and then, as Nagibin's next wife later said, Yuri found his wife in bed with a woman. Whether the sexual experiments of the poetess were true or a blatant lie of the new wife of a genius, no one will know, only the fact remains: Akhmadulina did not want to leave her husband, it was he who filed for divorce, after 9 years of marriage. After that, Bella took up a girl, Anna, from an orphanage, who later lived with her mother.

Former husband of Bella Akhmadulina - Eldar Kuliev

Former husband of Bella Akhmadulina - Eldar Kuliev became her salvation after the second divorce. At that time, Bella was very disappointed in the institution of marriage, regretted that she had an abortion from Yevtushenko and was in the wildest depression. Where did this young man come from, 17 years younger than the poetess, no one from Akhmadulina's entourage knew, but they became friends and for some time simply maintained friendly relations, and soon Bella became pregnant, so their romance was revealed.

Evil tongues say that Bella and Eldar often got drunk, and even the birth of a daughter did not affect her lifestyle, which is why the girl was sent to her grandmother. The relationship of this couple ended immediately after the birth of their daughter, and a year later Bella was married for the fourth time.

Bella Akhmadulina's husband - Boris Messerer

Bella Akhmadulina's husband, Boris Messerer, became her last man with whom the poetess lived until her death. She probably really loved him, since she had been married for so many years, although witnesses of their life say that Boris was always a more loving and caring husband than Akhmadulina's wife. But next to him she was a hospitable hostess, although a housekeeper had already appeared in the house at that time, so her husband protected the poetess from her unnecessary life.
