", " " and " ". In 1974 she married the director Vladimir Naumov, and a year and a half later the couple had a daughter Natasha. For a long time there was no more replenishment in the family, until in 2007 the couple adopted a three-year-old Kirill who had an accident today.

Early in the morning it became known that A student of the 9th grade of school No. 1950 tried to climb into a friend's apartment through the window on the visor, but did not calculate his strength and fell. boy was hospitalized in the Morozov Children's Clinical Hospital with a closed craniocerebral injury and a fracture of the jaw bones, but accurate diagnosis will be issued only after a full examination, told the Moscow agency source in the emergency services of the city. The report also states that the victim was Foster-son Soviet actress Natalia Belokhvostikova.
Belokhvostikova, 67, has yet to comment on the incident. It is worth noting that the artist always carefully guards her personal life, preferring not to advertise what is happening in the family. So, about the adoption of Cyril by her, the public for a long time did not guess. On the air of the program "", the actress explained that she did not want to injure the boy. “We did not show our son, because Kiryushka was a small child. Every mother knows: the baby cannot be injured, he must be given the opportunity to live in full force. Now he is already 15 years old, he is taller than me, he teaches English language», she shared. Natalia also said that her son loves mathematics and lives in the world of numbers and equations.

In one of the interviews, Natalya shared that Cyril appeared in their family by accident and became her closest. “One boy approached Natasha and said: “Aunt, buy me a cross.” She told him: “If you want, I’ll buy you a car. You will drive a car, or a horse, or something else. "And he:" No, buy me a cross, please. , and for a year we went to Kiryusha, could not tear ourselves away from him. And then somehow they brought him some gifts, said goodbye already, we stand and look after him, as a small figure was moving away along a long corridor, so dark, with weak bulbs, in green tattered tights... That's when Natasha said: "I'll take it!" And we took him, ”the appearance of Cyril in the family of the husband of the artist.
Natalya Belokhvostikova and Vladimir Naumov have been married for over 40 years. The director is 24 years older than his wife, but the artist claims that she does not feel this difference. « When people have been together for so many years, they grow in each other. This is a completely different connection of people, and indeed they become like two halves. Therefore, on the contrary, we have a feeling of inseparability and fear of losing each other.”, - the actress commented on the relationship with her husband.

Natalia Nikolaevna Belokhvostikova. She was born on July 28, 1951 in Moscow. Soviet and Russian actress. People's Artist RSFSR (1984).
Although she is Natalia according to her passport, the name Natalya has become more common in relation to the actress.
Father - Nikolai Dmitrievich Belokhvostikov (1918-1984), Soviet diplomat, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, in different time worked in Canada, Great Britain, Sweden, was the head of the Scandinavian countries department of the USSR Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and in 1975-1981 he was Ambassador-at-Large of the USSR Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Mother - Antonina Romanovna Belokhvostikova, translator (died in 2009).
She had a younger brother Nikolai (died in 2008).
In 1952-1956, her father served as an adviser to the USSR Embassy in Great Britain. Therefore, Natalya, at the age of 11 months, was taken to England, where she stayed until 1956.
At the age of 12, Belokhvostikova lived with her parents in Sweden. There she successfully studied languages. Soviet delegations often came to the embassy to see my father - film actors, artists, artists, directors. As the actress recalled, she often secretly followed the reception and listened to every word at the table. “And I very secretly really wanted, of course, somehow to have something to do with cinema, but I, being a sober person, I understood that I was so quiet, so shy,” said Belokhvostikova.
She admitted that her childhood was special compared to other Soviet children. “Of course, you don’t understand this. But for me it was somehow natural, because I lived all my childhood before school abroad. I didn’t have the feeling that something was impossible, that I climbed the Eiffel tower, for example. My world has been so wide and so open since 9 months that I never had the feeling (for me personally) that there is another life, "she shared.
She made her film debut in 1965. Luck simply smiled at her: director Mark Donskoy filmed the film "Mother's Heart" (about Maria Alexandrovna Ulyanova) in Stockholm. This small episode, which she played, subsequently greatly influenced the fate of the actress.
“Mom came to Gorky’s studio to watch Donskoy’s film and took me (we were invited by Mark Semenovich). When we looked at the picture and left the screening room, a bald man was walking towards us - his name was Sergei Apollinarievich Gerasimov. Well, why was he walking? Why was he walking " But he walked. And he walked at us. And Donskoy was very fond of joking and said: "Look, look, the artist is new." And I'm 15 years old there. "You will do. She also wants to be an artist. "I became red, as always, just a crimson color. I lost all speechlessness. He says:" Well, let him do it. Good profession. Let him do it. "And we parted like ships in the sea," Belokhvostikova recalled.
And a few days later they called her and said that Sergei Gerasimov was looking for her. And instead of the 10th grade, she went to VGIK. It was a unique case in the entire history of VGIK: a 10th grader without a matriculation certificate and entrance exams was admitted to the Institute of Cinematography. And she had to finish school externally.
Later, she learned that her admission to VGIK was the result of Gerasimov’s letter to the rector: “A long long letter that I will hand over everything on time within 1.5 or 2 months. I'm 16. Great master, the director writes this about a child practically."
The first significant work in the cinema was the role of Lena Barmina in the film Gerasimov "At a lake". In this film, a student of VGIK had a chance to become a partner of other eminent actors. Her heroine is madly in love with an elderly and married man.
For the role of Lena Barmina, along with a number of other members of the film crew, 19-year-old Belokhvostikova received the USSR State Prize in 1971. She is the record holder: the youngest laureate of the USSR State Prize by the age of receiving it in the history of Russian cinema.

In 1971 she graduated from VGIK, the acting workshop of S. A. Gerasimov and T. F. Makarova.
In 1971-1975. - actress of the film studio named after M. Gorky.
Since 1976 she has been an actress of the Theater-Studio of a film actor.
The actress received great love from the audience after the release of the 5-episode film by Sergei Gerasimov in 1976. "Red and black", in which she starred as Mathilde de La Mole. Her partner was who played Julien Sorel.

Next was the main role in the film "The Legend of Thiel" in which she played Nele. Film critic Irina Zaslavskaya then wrote in the Soviet Screen magazine about her work: “After the film, there remains an almost nervous and sad mood, a feeling of hopeless grief. The bearer of this grief is Nele, the beautiful and mysterious Nele, whose character dominates the film. Only the one who comprehended the true essence of things and went through so much suffering, can look at everything with the beautiful, compassionate eyes of Nele.
I remember the audience for the role of the Queen of England Anna Stewart in the drama "Glass of water".

One of the most famous films with the participation of the actress was the film by A. Alov and V. Naumov "Tehran-43" 1980, where her partners were and.

Together with Kostolevsky, they played the main roles in a military drama together. "Legal Marriage"- the picture is accompanied by music by Isaac Schwartz and romances on verses.

It is worth noting the role of Dona Anna in the film "Little Tragedies", where she was her partner.
Her roles of feminine and uniquely tender heroines invariably resonated in the hearts of millions of fans.
She played memorable leading roles in the war film "Coast" (Emma Herbert - german girl, who fell in love with a Russian lieutenant during the war), the musical comedy "Princess of the Circus" (beauty Countess Palinskaya), the social drama directed by Dmitry Barshchevsky "Two Chapters from the Family Chronicle" (Irina Blagovolina).

Naumov first saw her when Natalya was 12 years old: “I saw her when I was sitting in the office of Nikolai Dmitrievich Belokhvostikov in Sweden. I was there, with a delegation, with Donskoy from Poland. And I was sitting in the ambassador’s office, and there that "Something flashed in the corridor. It flashed rather quickly. But behind this flashing body flew a scythe as thick as two of my fists and as long as a span."
The next time they crossed paths was when Natalia went to Belgrade for the premiere of the film By the Lake. Shortly before departure, she was informed that Vladimir Naumov would be the head of the delegation. Naumov himself recalled: "This meeting at the airport ... I impressed her as a madman."

Was I scared seven years ago? Not a drop. I just knew that I had to save Cyril. It was my decision, my choice, and I will do everything to make my son's fate happy. He will never be alone again.
He never looked back. He thanked for the brought gifts and left along the long hopeless orphanage corridor - a three-year-old, very lonely. As if there was no hope for anything.
When seven years ago my husband Vladimir Naumov and my daughter Natasha arrived at an orphanage near Moscow, other kids hung on me like clusters. They shouted: “Take it to you, I have beautiful eyes, I will love you!” And Kirill stood aside. He only asked:
Auntie, please buy me a cross.
Maybe you want something tasty?
We brought a whole trunk of sweets.
No thanks. Please bring a cross.
My soul has been broken. At that very moment, Kiryushin's journey home began. It could not be otherwise: he himself chose me.
And I'm not a traitor by nature, for loved ones - a mountain. To continue living, I need to know that I am doing the right thing. If we didn’t take Kirill, we wouldn’t even be ashamed of ourselves - it’s scary.
Frankly, not all of our friends understood us. I think they reacted this way because of a sense of their own weakness. It is easy to talk about the unfortunate fate of orphans, but not everyone will decide to become a loved one for them. I firmly remembered my father’s testament: “You only live not in vain if you can commit an act and answer for it. Always stay strong. Smile and keep your back. Don't forget: you are the daughter of a diplomat." And I smile, no matter how hard it is, I am infinitely grateful to my parents for this hereditary ability.
They met in 1946 in Canada.
Mom, college graduate foreign languages, came to work as a translator at the Soviet embassy, where dad served as charge d'affaires since 1944. Returning to Moscow, we got married, I was born. When I was nine months old, the family boarded a steamer and sailed to London - the city of my father's next business trip.
We lived in England for five years. The father was in the rank of an adviser-envoy. Years later, once again in London - on the set of the film "Tehran-43" - I told my husband:
We shoot every day from morning to night. And I really want to look at our embassy, where I spent my childhood!
Let's go, - answered Naumov.
Late in the evening we climbed onto the second floor of the bus and went to Kensington Palace Gardens.
I persuaded the policeman to let me enter the territory of the embassy, go around the building.
I remember myself from the age of one. I can even name the exact date - June 2, 1953, the day when the coronation of Elizabeth II took place. The parents were invited to the ceremony, and although there were no color photographs in the family, it was the color that remained in the memory - the mother's light lilac outfit: a dress with a train, a hat with a veil. She was so light, airy, flying in it. Nearby is the Pope in full dress diplomatic uniform. They looked like a prince and a princess from a fairy tale.
As a girl, I grew up quiet and extremely shy. Pretty well-fed, for which she even received the nickname Reserve Churchill: her cheeks lay on her shoulders just like those of the English prime minister.
I never knew how to ask for anything. Once my mother could not get from me for a long time what I want to get for my birthday. She took her by the hand and led me to the famous London store - a huge, five-story one. Choose what you like! I kept silent. She was already exhausted, tired, when, finally, she waited. But not a request - a question! “Remember we saw the doll? I said barely audibly. "Can I look at her again?" Of course, the doll was immediately bought. She is still intact: she walks the same way, nods her head and says "mammy."
When the business trip ended and we returned to Moscow, my younger brother Nikolai was born. Five years later, the pope was appointed ambassador to Sweden. The school at the embassy was only primary, but I had to go to the fifth grade.
Little Kolya's parents took with them, and I stayed in Moscow - with my grandparents from my mother's side.
My parents came to Moscow on vacation, I spent my holidays in Stockholm. Just a two hour flight. We kept in touch. But I was bored, of course, terribly. The days left before the meeting, noted in a special calendar. After my own daughter was born, I made a vow: I would never let her experience the same pain that I once did. She arranged everything in life so that to this day we do not part for a long time.
Five years spent away from my parents were years of silence for me. Without them, I would have grown up as a completely different person: I would not have read and dreamed so much. Grandfather, who worked all his life railway, soon died, we were left alone with my grandmother Ulyana Titovna.
She was a person from the earth, very kind, wise, although she graduated from only three classes. These years have made me strong, taught me to make decisions and take responsibility for my actions. I knew that I had to behave correctly: study well and not let mom and dad down. Although I have never even heard the word “no” from them. No one taught or instructed me, they communicated on an equal footing. My parents have always acted as my main advocates: they supported me, even if I was wrong. Despite the fact that they did not indulge, they inspired that I was no different from the rest, and did not allow any excesses. Of course, I was not kept in a black body and I was always dressed elegantly. And my mother also sewed brilliantly, in her youth she even studied this business. I remember how, years later, I flew to the premiere in Los Angeles in her dress - fantasy, invented especially for me.
I walk down the street, I don’t touch anyone, a woman comes up:
Can you sell your dress?
I was dumbfounded:
I do not understand.
At least name the designer.
But this dress was sewn for me in Russia...
No matter!
I had to take her phone, promise something. When my mother heard about this story, she was flattered.
It was my mother who gave me the love of cinema, as if by inheritance. Back in London, I dragged the two-year-old to the Soviet club, where they brought all the new items.
As I got older, I took over the baton and at the age of fourteen, on vacation in Stockholm, I made her watch the musical “The Sound of Music” countless times, which I loved. Cinema attracted me, but I was not going to become an actress. I knew perfectly well: I was too shy. Slightly that - instantly blush. And what kind of movie is it if the teacher does not hear me when I answer at the blackboard? On the creative competition I'm clearly going to faint. At one time I even thought about the profession of a cameraman - much less public.
But the same summer, when I ran to the Sound of Music, director Mark Donskoy came to Stockholm to shoot the film Mother's Heart. He brought suits and a cameraman with him. And there was not enough money for artists. Donskoy came to dad:
Nikolai Dmitrievich, can you select people for extras?
Sorry, it won't work.
They work. But we have a lot of children, it's holidays now. See if anyone can help you.
Mark Semenovich saw my big forehead - the same as that of Elena Alekseevna Fadeeva, the leading lady Maria Ulyanova. He put it on his heels, gave an umbrella in his hands, put him in a cab and drove around Stockholm: it was here in 1910 that the last meeting Lenin with his mother. Close-ups of Fadeeva and Rodion Nakhapetov, who played the leader of the revolution, were filmed already in Moscow. I will not hide, I liked to play in the movie.
A year later, my father's business trip ended and my parents returned to Moscow.
I just had to go to the final tenth grade. In less than two weeks, Donskoy invited his mother to the Gorky Film Studio to watch the already edited film. For a year and a half that the shooting of "Mother's Heart", and then the second part of the dilogy - the film "Fidelity to the Mother", he became friends with his parents. Mom took me with her. I remember a long studio corridor, towards us - a bald man with a familiar face. I knew from the photographs that it was director Gerasimov. Donskoy liked to joke. Says Sergei Apollinarievich:
Look, Sergey, another artist has appeared.
I instantly blushed.
The artist is good, ”Gerasimov supported the joke.
Let it come in a year. And there will be time - come to the course that I just scored. See how we are learning.
On that they parted.
Two days later, the director of Donskoy called us at home:
I met Gerasimov here, he asked me to find a big-browed girl, whom Mark introduced him to. He ordered me to come to him on the first of September.
In VGIK. By half past nine.
But what about the school?
But I went. I come to Gerasimov's workshop. Braid to the waist, eyelashes not made up, pleated skirt. Hands-legs are shaking.
And around - liberated and, it seemed to me, terribly adult students who already have Hollywood on the horizon. What will I do here? She stood, looked, and, without waiting for Gerasimov, went on her way.
For some reason, she returned home on the overhead - on several trolleybuses. She arrived at eleven o'clock. Dad asked:
Well, did you meet Sergei Apollinarievich?
Dad sat me down opposite:
Natasha, how old are you?
Sixteen.
I mean, you're an adult. And she said that you want to enter VGIK. So, you must keep your word. Therefore, now you will go to the institute again and get acquainted with Gerasimov. Only when you finally decide that this is “not yours” can you go to school, to MGIMO, wherever you want.
Why did he say so? My parents wanted me to follow in their footsteps. Moreover, she knew English very well, she had already translated for delegations during the holidays, she understood all the intricacies of etiquette. And here the cinema is an area from which they were completely far away. My parents showed real wisdom, which, I'm afraid, I will not live to see. Dad gave me the chance to decide my own fate, for which I will never tire of thanking him. If he had said a resolute “no!”, Probably, she would not have become an artist: she always listened to his opinion.
Dad gave money for a taxi, I again went to VGIK. I run into the institute and the first people I see are Sergei Apollinarievich and Tamara Fedorovna Makarova. We finally met, and I was offered to become a volunteer in their course.
Of course, it was not supposed to: to study at the institute without a certificate of secondary education. Spas Anton Petrovich Polekhin, director of the legendary English special school No. 20, where I studied, allowed me to take exams externally. He was an amazing person. He knew the students by name, in the morning he greeted everyone at the gate, he took care of us very much. Looking ahead, I will say that Natasha studied at the same school for eight years. When my dad died, I called Polekhin: - Anton Petrovich, Natasha will not come today.
We're in trouble.
God, poor girl! Why didn't you tell me right away? I would help.
The next year, I spent days at VGIK, and at night I taught physics, chemistry and other school subjects. Having received a certificate, she was finally supposed to become a full-fledged student. But in order to stay in Gerasimov's workshop - that is, in the second year - I had to add a bunch of items in three months. Only about ten years ago I found out that VGIK kept Gerasimov's statement to the rector, in which he asks, as an exception, to enroll me immediately in the second year "due to my outstanding abilities." The master, the classic, writes like this about a sixteen-year-old girl! This completely "overturned" me.
We were called the course of four Natashas. Among my classmates are Natalya Bondarchuk, Natalya Arinbasarova and Natalya Gvozdikova. Seryozha Nikonenko and Nikolai Gubenko studied at the directing department. Colin's short film "Nastasya and Fomka" became my full-fledged debut. She was very friendly with Kolya Eremenko, Talgat Nigmatulin and Vadim Spiridonov. We weren't even friends, we grew up together.
It so happened that many of the boys are no longer in the world ... Both Vadik and Kolya, whom Sergei Apollinarievich loved very much. He also filmed Father Eremenko in the film “People and Beasts”. I know that Kolya often visited Gerasimov's house. In essence, by nature, I was far away, I didn’t get so close. I still do not understand what happened to Nigmatulin. Everyone said that he fell into a sect, where he was killed.
But I remember how strong and dexterous Talgat was! From Japan, where she represented By the Lake in her fourth year, he asked me to bring a photograph of Toshiro Mifune, a famous artist who mastered all types of martial arts. And Nigmatulin knew a million tricks! Can't believe this could happen to him.
But while we are still students, ahead - all paths are open. I was on the course of the youngest, naive, and that's what I liked: a little something - I was filled with paint and the guys made fun of me. They will say, for example: “Can you imagine what kind of pictures they are starting to shoot now? Whatever the film - a frank scene. You will have to marry a partner every time. I become scarlet, everyone around laughs. When I watch the black-and-white film "By the Lake", I can clearly see where I have a normal face, and where I have a crimson one.
Before I had time to pass the exams, Gerasimov read us the script for the future film “By the Lake”.
She suffered terribly. Terribly tired. Sometimes it seemed that nothing would work at all.
Only two days before leaving for the expedition to Baikal, Gerasimov announced that he was approving me. To be honest, I didn't even have the strength to be happy. I felt completely gutted and understood what hellish, hard labor would be. And I wasn't even seventeen yet. She came to the site tense, like a string, in this state a piece did not climb into her throat. By the way, on the set of Tehran-43, it turned out that in this we are similar to Alain Delon: he also does not eat when he works.
Sergey Apollinarievich never stroked the head. On the contrary, they were afraid of them with Makarova: the debriefing was tough. So they could shake that life did not seem like a paradise. The fact that I was beginning to succeed, I understood only by his characteristic squint. Somehow they filmed on the shore of Lake Baikal, a sound engineer constantly approached Gerasimov:
Seryozha, Natasha speaks very quietly.
Don't pull it, for Christ's sake!
Don't pull! Everything you need, I hear.
Another time, the operator wanted to do another take, Gerasimov stopped him: “I don’t need it.” This was the highest praise.
I understood perfectly well that two years of filming for the then eighteen-year-old man was such a stress, inside it was like Niagara Falls had collapsed. When they started rehearsing the graduation performance “Red and Black” at the institute, as a result of nervous overwork, my ligaments did not close. Doctors ordered me to be silent for six months. Gerasimov said: “Speak and play at half strength.
We'll start rehearsing in earnest when you're fully recovered."
The picture "By the Lake" was released simultaneously in two thousand cinemas in the USSR. They started recognizing me on the streets. I had to disown and habitually blush. The other side of the coin was immediately revealed: I somehow come to the institute, but no one greets me. Unless through clenched teeth or nod casually. She looked around herself - everything seemed to be in order. What's the attack? I enter the workshop, I see an announcement: that day at VGIK they showed "By the Lake". Soon at the international film festival in Karlovy Vary, I received a prize for the best performance of a female role. And at the age of twenty - the State Prize of the USSR.
For the next few years, I represented the painting all over the world.
So it turned out that I practically did not study at VGIK. In the first year, she was torn between the institute and the school, in the second and third she acted, in the fourth she flew to premieres. For all four years, I did not get out to a single student party. I didn’t even dance once during these years, except for classes.
The first final exam was just a dance. I returned from a tour of Japan with a cold: the temperature is thirty-nine! I got up in a pair with Kolya Eremenko. I only remember how I said: “Something is not good for me.” And lost consciousness. When I woke up, I found out that I had torn my knee ligaments: this happens during exercise, if the temperature is high. For all other exams, Kolya and Talgat took me by taxi. At the institute, they unloaded from the car and carried it to the fourth floor in their arms. The picture was comical: the door to the classroom was flung open, the examiners' eyes were on a leg in plaster, and only then the friends dragged the entire student Belokhvostikova.
And finally - I did not have time to look back - I am an artist.
They even send me scripts. And I... refuse. All the heroines are like two drops of water similar to Lena Barmina, fashioned by Gerasimov and I at the limit of our strength. Sergei Apollinarievich always repeated: “Remember that after the premiere, morning comes. We need to wake up and move on. Think about what you will wake up with and how you will live. I wanted to build my acting life competently. And they offered to play the same thing! I think if our meeting with Vladimir Naumov had not happened, if he had not brought me together with Alexander Alov, life would have been completely different. Volodya and I met two months after my graduation from VGIK.
We can say, on the third attempt: before that, our destinies had already crossed twice.
July twenty-eighth, 1951. Moscow. Deep night. Along Vesnina Street, which has now been renamed Denezhny Lane, Naumov and Alov are stomping to the Ministry of Culture. After the death of Igor Savchenko - in his workshop they studied at VGIK - Volodya and Alexander Alexandrovich finished the painting of the master "Taras Shevchenko".
I will allow myself a small digression, but it was on the set of this film that the names of Alova and Naumov first sounded side by side. Savchenko called his course "a conglomeration of insane individuals": Sergei Parajanov, Marlen Khutsiev, Yuri Ozerov studied there. And all of them, during the lifetime of the master, were practicing at Taras Shevchenko.
Alov was responsible for the icons, Naumov - for gauntlets, Parajanov - for the coffin. One day, a hurricane hit unexpectedly. Everyone hid. And when the wind died down, Parajanov was missing. Savchenko said: “There is no Sergei, and to hell with him! Alov and Naumov, bring the coffin here!” And then it turned out that Parajanov fell asleep peacefully, hiding in a coffin. Igor Andreevich ordered them not to wake him up, but to take him to the shade. Volodya jokes that this was their first creative assignment.
And back in 1951, walking with Alov along Vesnina Street, Naumov could not help but pass by the maternity hospital of the Fourth Directorate. Perhaps just at the hour when I was born.
Stockholm. Soviet embassy. Already a venerable one, who received the Jury Prize for Best Director at the Venice Film Festival for the film "The World Incoming" and the Pasinetti Prize for Absolutely best movie at the competition and out of competition, director Naumov arrives in Sweden at the head of the Soviet delegation of filmmakers. On this occasion, a banquet was held at the embassy. When I was young, the path to it was ordered. But I made my way to the stairs, from which I could see the entrance to the embassy: I dreamed of seeing the actress Galina Polskikh, who had arrived, whom I adored after her role in "Wild Dog Dingo". However, our delegation missed! Volodya recalled that he saw through the ajar door a girl with a thick blond braid - the ambassador's daughter Natasha. And I remembered.
Another seven years passed.
Sky. The height is ten thousand meters. The plane "Moscow-Belgrade". I'm flying to present the film "By the Lake" at the Days of Russian Cinema in Yugoslavia. The delegation is headed by Naumov. They introduced us at the airport. Planted nearby. The whole flight, Vladimir Naumovich entertains me with a game of sea battle. He seemed rather strange to me. He constantly took out cigarettes, crushed them, twisted the lighter in his hands, but did not light it. In those days, smoking was allowed on airplanes. I thought: probably the quirks of a genius. I did not know that just two weeks before that, Volodya had quit smoking. So he toiled, poor man.
A few days later, Mark Donskoy flew to Belgrade, who was familiar with Naumov from Kyiv, where he started.
They were constantly hooligans and mocked me in every possible way. They scared me with a children's laughter toy: they threw it into my bag and ran away. Everyone turned to me, I blushed as usual, and they laughed happily.
When we returned to Moscow, my father met me. Kissed Volodya. He even let the car go - went home on ours. In less than a week, Pravda published a huge interview with Naumov - a report on our trip.
You were in Yugoslavia for the first time. What made the strongest impression on you? the journalist asked.
Natasha Belokhvostikova, - answered Volodya.
In any case, both I and my parents immediately understood everything. But mom and dad again showed wisdom: not a word across, did not express their attitude in any way. I don’t even know if they were worried - if only because Volodya was much older.
I myself never felt the difference in age. Neither between us and Volodya, nor between ourselves and his numerous friends - from Vysotsky to Fellini and Tonino Guerra, who have become family to me too. And they never touched me as a young girl. Life was equal, and everyone had the right to vote. By the way, for all the years Naumov never interfered in my work, no matter how much I slipped him scripts, no matter how much I asked: “Read it. Do you agree? He gave me the right to decide for myself.
I’m not at all sure whether it would be so interesting for me to exist in this world if only my peers surround me. Besides, Volodya is much more energetic than I am. He often comes home from the studio very late, and he still has the strength to get up to the easel!
We constantly crossed paths at Mosfilm, where I starred as Anna Snegina in the film Sing a Song, Poet, and Naumov led the creative association. Even then he was unlike anyone else, and now he is the same - gushing with a million ideas, not fading for a second, able to do everything. Hooligan, gambling, tireless. It would seem that, complete opposite me - a man unhurried, home. And at the same time, a feeling of kindred natures immediately appeared. Awareness that there is a person nearby.
We met for almost a year. Naumov looked after wonderfully. First of all, he invited me ... to the Krylya Sovetov stadium to watch his favorite boxing. Volodya was engaged in this sport in his youth. And I just couldn’t understand why people clobber each other, and even after that they happily hug each other.
Another time, Naumov flew in from Holland. Calls: "We must see each other, by all means today." I'm lost in conjecture: why such a rush? When they met, he presented a huge bouquet of Dutch tulips. There were about thirty-five of them, and not a single color was repeated! And Volodya complained that some of the flowers were taken away by the border guards: they were afraid that they would bring some harmful midges into the country.
Naumov knew that I was good at skating.
In those years, you could rent them at the Patriarch's. We decided to ride. We agreed with Volodya that we would meet at the ponds when he and Alov would go home from Mosfilm. The sight was hilarious! Naumov and I slowly glided across the ice, and poor Alov, who brought him from the studio, circled the rink in his car. Like an honorary escort.
Alov and Naumov are laughter and a riot of fantasy. It's always amazing with them. We lived in neighboring houses, met daily at the studio, but despite this, every morning began with phone calls, the evening ended with them. It was a real male friendship. It is not surprising that it was Alov who became my witness at the wedding. On the part of Naumov, the wonderful playwright Leonid Genrikhovich Zorin spoke.
Before meeting me, Volodya had been divorced for six years. And acquire new family didn't intend to. Lived freely. Of course, I knew that his first wife was the artist Elsa Lezhdey. I saw her in the movies, but I didn't know her. And she didn’t pester her husband with questions about her past life. He told only what he considered necessary. I still know very little about the former Naumov family. They were not such people with Alov to share intimate details. Real Men. Capitalized.
Volodya from Lezhdy's son Alyosha was nine years old. The boy turned out to be wonderful, well-read. He came to visit us for the weekend. Volodya and Alexander Alexandrovich were late for the script "Legend of Til", and sometimes Alyosha and I left together for the dacha, so as not to interfere with their work. To be honest, I still don’t know how much he accepted me.
Relations were normal, but the age difference between us is very small. So God knows what was going on in his soul. One way or another, the son lived with his mother. But Volodya and Alexei love each other very much, although they don’t see each other very often now because of the eternal employment of both.
Just a little, less than a year, I was allowed to communicate with Volodya's mother, Agnia Burmistrova. Once she taught speech technique at VGIK. I regret that we didn’t talk enough, didn’t grow into each other: she passed away suddenly. At sixty-five, she died in her sleep on vacation near St. Petersburg. By the beginning of the filming of The Legend of Til, she was gone. For Volodya, this was a real tragedy. He lost his father, cameraman Naum Naumov-Guard, back in 1957 and loved his mother endlessly. In life, Agnia Vasilyevna was a ringleader, she went to the Cinema House almost daily, followed all the news, and loved to travel.
The news of her departure sounded like thunder from a clear sky.
We settled in Naumov's four-room bachelor's apartment near the Aeroport metro station. Despite my youth at that time, I immediately wanted to turn it into a real home, so that it would be warm and smell delicious. I still don't like it when they help with the housework. I'd rather take my family to a cafe than let a stranger strum the dishes in my kitchen. Moreover, I always knew how to cook: I carefully watched my grandmother. And in Stockholm, the wonderful cook Ivan Sergeevich served in the embassy. Front-line soldier, originally from St. Petersburg. I really enjoyed watching him serve in the kitchen, especially on the days of big parties.
Eleven years later, we will change our address - we will decide to settle in the Tishinka area.
Directly below us will be the apartment of Oleg Ivanovich Borisov, who had just moved to Moscow from St. Petersburg. He will always ask: “Guys, move to our house already. It's bad without you!"
A year after the wedding, Natasha was born to us. Everything else went into the background: for many years, nothing but a child and work simply did not exist for me. For some reason, she firmly knew: if there is a daughter, we will call Natasha. Vladimir Naumovich jokes: he hoped he would shout “Natasha!” - and we will both run to his call. Everything turned out that way.
I tried my best to hide the pregnancy. Even from Alov. On the day Natasha was born, Naumov called Alexander Alexandrovich:
Congratulations, my daughter was born.
From whom?
I was only able to speak best friend and co-author Alov.
The question was perfectly legitimate. Natasha was born on the first of March, the last winter months pregnancy, I - small, thin - passed in a wonderful parachute coat. In the mornings, Naumov and Alov took me to my mother. They landed on the Patriarchs and went to the studio, where they finished the preparatory period of the painting "The Legend of Til". I tried to wrap myself in a fur coat more tightly and quickly run to the entrance. So Alexander Alexandrovich did not notice anything.
I gave birth in the same privileged hospital on Vesnina Street, where I myself was born. But the only "bonus" was that the women in labor were immediately given a telephone receiver. They didn't let anyone in to see me. Volodya wrote notes, drew pictures - children's faces, tried to find out who Natasha looked like. When I saw my daughter for the first time, I burst into tears. The nannies panicked:
You feel bad?
And all I could say was:
She is a copy of my husband!
It immediately became clear that my mother was crazy. I remain like this. I understand with my head that if a child has a runny nose, nothing criminal happens, but I immediately go into fear and hysteria.
And she agreed to leave her daughter only for her mother or grandmother, she did not trust the rest. Natasha was only three months old when I starred in the first joint film with Naumov, The Legend of Til. All money earned was spent on telephone conversations with the house. In our family, it is generally customary to constantly call up: not for a day do not lose touch with each other. It started with my parents. I arrive in Japan, just go to the Tokyo hotel - a call. Dad! Got the number through my diplomatic channels. When Volodya was still courting me, he and Alov left for Pitsunda to write the script. There, Naumov even bought a canvas bag from some fireman, where he collected fifteen-kopeck coins for a pay phone, stood in line for hours at the telephone exchange. We call among ourselves this constant phone call "checking on the roads."
Natasha grew up very mobile, she could not sit still for a second, a real top.
At two and a half years old, she got naughty in the country, fell, broke the handle. In the Filatov hospital, a plaster cast was applied. Three days later, I had to call the hospital again:
Hello, when can we bring our baby girl?
The Doctor was very surprised.
What for? The cast must be worn for at least three weeks.
And we broke it...
Natasha skated well. In those years, competitions were sometimes held at the Patriarchs. Somehow the whole family came to cheer for their daughter. And she was sued!
Volodya and I made a terrible scandal, but we got justice. Over the ponds it echoed: “An error has occurred. The first place is awarded to Natasha Naumova!”
My daughter grew up, Volodya and I worked a lot. Life went on as usual, until Alexander Alexandrovich Alov died on the last day of shooting the film “The Shore”.
Years later, he was caught up with a concussion received at the front. Alov knew the war to the molecules. At one time, they and Naumov film "The World to the Incoming" was strongly scolded.
Why do you have actors in such dirty overcoats? Is it Soviet army? - Minister of Culture Ekaterina Furtseva was indignant.
Alov replied:
You, Ekaterina Alekseevna, saw the overcoat from the Mausoleum, and I stomped in it for four years. Therefore, I know very well how dirty, heavy and what it smells like.
At fifty-nine, he was no longer able to walk, relying on a cane. What was natural for us, like breathing, became a constant struggle for him. But I never saw on his face a shadow of suffering - only a smile and participation.
Filmed near Riga. On the last day of shooting, Alexander Alexandrovich became ill and was taken to the hospital. At night we were informed that Alov was no more... hard days. I was really scared for Volodya, he was so worried.
In "Coast" - as before in "Tehran-43" - Natasha Jr. played. I could not even imagine that my daughter would become an artist. Naumov Natashino liked the decision. And I tried to convince him: “If she had gone to the directors, she would have received a profession. Who is an actor today? So, a butterfly that flaps its wings.
While the exams were going on, she asked: “Can I at least take you to the institute by taxi?” Finally, at the last round, my daughter agreed. But she insisted on dropping her a kilometer away so that no one would see who she came with. For the next few hours, I sat in despair at home, squatting against the wall. She had absolutely no idea where she was going. What for?
In the evening, a familiar artist called, now deceased: “Today I took exams, there was such a wonderful girl - I read Tsvetaeva.”
And this is our Natasha! Applicants enter without naming names, and few knew her face: she never dragged her daughter to parties.
Natasha graduated from the acting department, starred, traveled around the world. Then she realized that this was not her profession. I studied law for two years. But the cinema again lured: she entered the directing department to Alla Surikova. Now he makes his own films. Her first film was Year of the Horse - Constellation Scorpio, the idea of which was given by Tonino Guerra. This is the story of a circus artist who is trying to save her horse, a partner with whom she has performed all her life, from death. The second picture of Natasha - "It's snowing in Russia", where leading role played by Valery Zolotukhin, this is his last tape - it has not yet been released on the screens. And today, the daughter is filming "The Tale of Tsar Saltan" - together with her father.
I am in the role of the matchmaker of the woman Babarikha, our younger son Cyril is a little cabin boy.
We found Kiryushka in an orphanage near Moscow, where we arrived as part of the “Me and Family” festival, which I invented eleven years ago. It was there that he asked me for a cross. Since then, I have been thinking: why did Kirill come up to me? Not to Volodya, not to Natasha?
When we just took him home, I said:
Kirill, how long have we been looking for you!
And he replied:
Every night I went to bed and asked God to find me as soon as possible.
It's scary to hear such words from a very young child. But today he is already a real macho. The size of my feet has outgrown me. What will happen next?
Was I scared seven years ago? Not a drop. I just knew that I had to save Kirill, that it was in my power. Yes, Naumov and I are not the youngest parents. But I am convinced that I did the right thing, which means that everything will be fine. I believe in my strength. It was my decision, my choice, and I will do everything to make my son's fate happy. He will never be alone again.
We often came to Kirill's orphanage, when one evening all three of us gathered at home in the kitchen. They drank tea, each in his own thoughts. Naumov suddenly take it and ask:
I wonder what Kiryushka is doing now?
I said:
It's a pity for him.
Any normal person who finds himself in an orphanage will be injured for the rest of his life.
There are few kids involved. At night they are not allowed to use the toilet, and then they are forced to wash the soiled sheets. Bute. They can't see anything but a fence that they can't go beyond.
I tried to ask Kirill about his past. But he is silent. The great neurosurgeon Alexander Nikolaevich Konovalov stopped me: “Why are you torturing a person?
Perhaps the boy's memory of the bad is simply blocked. He wants to - he will tell. Didn't come up anymore. But I know for sure: Kirill knows how it can be really bad and scary. Not when mom scolded or was not allowed to go to the cinema, but when you are all alone in the world. He still can't get past a small child. Be sure to smile at him, speak, give him something. Apparently, this is how the pain that accumulated in the first three years of life goes away.
At first, we took Kiryushka for several days. When he entered the entrance for the first time, he was surprised by the elevator - he had never seen it. Asked:
Who lifts us up?
Volodya answered: - There are horses at the top, they walk in a circle, so the elevator rises.
Cyril believed!
When the son turned four, they celebrated the holiday together.
But they didn’t give it to us forever: for almost a year they practically mocked me. I will only collect Required documents, as it turns out that some piece of paper is already overdue, and you have to start over. One day they say:
Your certificate of no criminal record has expired.
I have just been awarded the Order of Merit for the Fatherland. It is not given to those who have been convicted.
We don’t know anything, bring a certificate from Petrovka.
She brought it, and then it turned out that the expiration date of the medical paper had passed ...
Naumov suggested: “You have a good relationship with the governor of the Moscow region, Boris Gromov. Ask him to help." But I didn't contact anyone. I wanted to overcome this chaos myself. I perfectly understand why the path of adoption is so thorny. A certain amount of money is allocated for each child in our state - to pay for the work of educators, the maintenance of orphanages. If children are given to families without exception, people working in this area will lose their earnings. The possible happiness of children comes into conflict with the salaries of officials.
Somehow I take Kirill for the weekend, the next day I get a call: take the child back immediately! He must go to a rest home!
There is nothing to do - I'm taking it.
Although the children were simply sent from one tmutarakan to another, at a distance of three kilometers. And they got chicken pox there. We did not see Kirill for the next two months - quarantine. Children are cruel, all this time they tried to convince their son that no one would take him, that we would not see each other again. And he's only four years old!
The matter moved only when I got a call from the Kremlin. Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin hosted a reception dedicated to the Year of the Family. Everyone already knew that we wanted to pick up Kirill, so we were invited.
In the evening I call the orphanage and ask them to dictate the number of Kirill's birth certificate. The Kremlin is a restricted place, it was necessary to order a pass.
The next morning, they said that the child could be picked up. Finally! They brought the boy home, and he had a temperature of forty. Apparently due to stress. So we did not reach the Kremlin.
Cyril is a very talented boy. He sculpts fantastically, I'm even going to take him to Zurab Tsereteli's master classes. My son is into martial arts. Excellent reading of Pushkin. When he was supposed to perform in a concert in the first grade, he kept repeating: “Mom, I will sing.” Well, you will and you will, what's wrong with that? It turned out he sang solo! And I didn’t even know that my son had a wonderful ear. She listened to him and cried.
Cyril has a million ideas and desires. In his life - not a second of silence, there is always something to do. The main thing is to be on time. When Volodya returns home, his son meets him at the elevator.
He snatches the briefcase from his hands and begins to chatter: “Dad, I put your phone on the shelf. And the glasses are on the table. Very touching about Naumov cares. All day long he scurries around the sites about me and Volodya, from time to time he hears: “Mom, how beautiful you are!” or “Look how funny you are here!” Read everything about us!
He is very kind. And strong. On the past winter holidays we went to Italy, to Rimini, to visit Laura, the widow of our friend, the legendary screenwriter Tonino Guerra. Naumov loves the local Grand Hotel, where Fellini filmed Amarcord. Once we went for a walk, I stumbled, hurt my leg and limped the rest of the time. Flew from Bologna. At the airport, Kirill saw that I was in pain, and no matter how much he refused, he helped to drag the bag.
Natasha met us in Moscow. Suddenly I hear a heart-rending daughter's cry: “Mom, come here! What's wrong with Cyril's leg? I fly into the room and see that Kirill's leg is monstrously swollen. It turned out that he had fallen in a hotel in Italy, but he didn’t say anything to me: he didn’t want to upset me. And still carrying weights! What a tough guy! His grandfather and great-grandfather would have been proud of him.
One day he asked:
May I be Belokhvostikov?
You are already Belokhvostikov.
A year ago, my children and I went to the city of Pavlovo, under Nizhny Novgorod where our family came from, and for the first time came to Belokhvostikova Street! I came to her, and my soul froze: why had I never been here before? Why did it take so long to go to your native places, where you simply get saturated with energy?!
Grandfather Dmitry Osipovich was an active person, as they would say today - a trade union leader.
I went to Lenin to beat out money for the workers. He was considered the best blacksmith in the province. Lil fence like Brussels lace. At the local museum, they gave me a rose that my grandfather forged from copper. And also a lemon in a pot: locals they have been grown for centuries. The lemon stood on our windowsill for a year. And the other day, my husband comes up to me in bewilderment: “I was closing the curtain here, and something hit me on the forehead.” I go to the window - and there are four huge fruits on my lemon!
Unfortunately, Kirill did not find my dad. But my grandmother and uncle Kolya, my younger brother, doted on the boy.
He remembers them, knows that they are now in heaven...
When my dad died, Kolya was twenty-seven years old. He was always painful, and this loss completely crippled him. From childhood, my brother protected me, stood up like a little cockerel if I was offended. Clever, a man of encyclopedic knowledge, could swallow a thick book in English overnight. He graduated from MGIMO, worked in the historical and archival department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Was once married, but fleetingly. He lived with his mother.
Kolya had several heart attacks. For many years he became a prisoner of hospitals and intensive care units. In the painting "By the Lake" the hero of Shukshin says:
Everything in life can be conquered.
I asked: - All-all-all?
All-all-all.
In addition to death - this is not all clear.
I know for sure that the worst thing in life is to lose. With the departure of loved ones, neither time nor experience humbles. Therefore, she always struggled to keep those who are dear. She fought until the last second, even when the doctors tried to persuade her to stop. While a person is fighting, he is alive, and you have no right to give up.
How many times did she shout to the ambulance doctors:
They answered me:
What would you like? Leave your brother alone.
I screamed out loud:
Call the emergency room, we're going to another hospital!
They threw papers at me:
Sign up!
I signed, took away, negotiated, found doctors, learned about new drugs. And for some time extended Kolya's life. When my brother passed away, we hid this from my mother: for several years she had been seriously ill. Mom lived another year without knowing about the death of her son ...
I have lost many. And now I know for sure: the human will can kill, or, on the contrary, prolong someone's life. Yes, everything in this world is very fragile and shaky, but my parents also taught me: “Do what you must. You will think later."
And I do. Otherwise, I will never forgive myself, I will not be able to live on. That's why I pulled my brother. That's why she adopted Kiryushka. And now, by the way, I go to orphanages very rarely: I know that I can no longer take anyone away, and I am deeply worried about my own impotence.
I remain quiet and shy, but if we are talking about relatives - I will move mountains. One day my husband and daughter and I were going to France. We arrived at the airport and boarded the plane. I look at Volodya, and somehow I don’t like him: lethargic, pale. I ask:
Have you taken any pills?
From the head. It hurts in the morning.
Are you sure it's from the head?
Our Air France plane is already taxiing to the runway, and I feel uneasy.
I think: suddenly Naumov mixed up the pills in a flurry and drank from high blood pressure? I've read that it's not safe to take off at low pressure. I go to the cockpit, I start banging on the door. The flight attendants intercept me:
What does madam want?
I answer in English: Madame wants the plane to be stopped immediately, returned to the terminal and called an ambulance.
The French women cackled:
Madam, don't worry.
I do not worry. But we are not going by tram, but by plane. It's probably not that hard to turn around.
And she got us back to the airport building, where the doctor was waiting. The doctor from the clinic was called home. Volodya already felt good, and I thought: maybe I messed everyone up in vain? I asked the doctor:
Did I do everything right?
Yes, Natasha, you did everything right. Always listen to your heart.
I am doing my best. And I don't regret a single day. The most vicious, destructive thing is to suffer for your own past. But no, no, yes, and the thought will creep in: did I give everything that I could? This does not apply to the profession - close people. Probably, such is the fate of those who lost a lot, it certainly seems: what if you could save them?
For all the years we lived together, Volodya and I never quarreled.
In our family, it is generally not customary to swear or scold. Just like once with my mother, we are best friends with Natasha. She is already an adult, lives separately, married a second time. She builds her own destiny, I never put pressure on her. But I will not expand on Natasha - I have no right. The main thing is that we avoided misunderstandings and disagreements. We always discuss everything - honestly and openly. I am convinced that children should be talked to even when they have not yet been born. Breathe together, live together - then everything will be fine. Most of all I was afraid to loosen the thread that binds us. I do not believe that someone other than the closest people is able to help solve problems if they arise. That is why it is strictly forbidden. school psychologist approach Cyril. Volodya and I will understand our son better than any specialist.
And I never punish him. The worst thing I can do is shut up and go to my room. Kirill is worried that her mother is upset. Come and ask for forgiveness. I answer: “What are you, what are you, it’s my own fault ...”
Naumov continues to shoot and draw. Oil and pastel. Although Volodya drew me only once. At the premiere of the painting "Ten Years Without the Right to Correspondence", the portrait was stolen. Volodya wrote again, and I will never allow this work to be taken out of the house. I like to unravel Volodya's paintings, with which the whole apartment is lined. Some are preparing for the exhibition, others have just returned and need to be unpacked, others need to be framed. From room to room we make our way along the wall. If at the dacha it is still possible to create the illusion of order, then in Moscow this is unrealistic. Everything is littered with books, manuscripts, mountains of scenarios rise to the ceiling in every corner.
We are constantly in a hurry somewhere, we always do not have time, we travel a lot, arrange holidays for ourselves and friends. But the really important days - both happy and tragic - I try to spend quietly, not wasting joy or sorrow without measure. I'm afraid to frighten fate.
As a little closed girl, I could not even think that I would have such a life: bright, rich. Today I can’t even imagine how it could be otherwise. And every morning when I wake up, it seems that the fun is just beginning.
The editors are grateful for the help in organizing the shooting of the Interior Theater furniture salon in Rastorguevsky Lane.
“Our meeting with Kirill did not just happen, she has her own mystery,” says Natalya Belokhvostikova, who adopted a three-year-old boy with her husband Vladimir Naumov a few years ago.
Natasha, your adopted son Kirill has already started school this year. How have you been living since you adopted him, have you ever regretted your decision? Excuse my bluntness, but you and Vladimir Naumovich are far from young people ... - You are right, indeed, Volodya and I are not 25 years old, and it would be strange if we did not realize this.

And of course, we didn’t even think about any adoption. We lived, filmed a movie, and suddenly ... Just recently, Kiryushka told me: "It's just that God wanted us to meet so much." I ask: "Why do you think so?" “Because I asked him to,” he replies. And this conversation started by accident. We played with him, hooligans, and I, laughing, say: “Well, what are you doing here? Where did you come from, what - out of the air weaved here with me? Who are you, can you tell me?" “Your son,” he laughs. "Well, how did you get here?" I keep joking. And he suddenly stopped smiling, looked at me so seriously, attentively and said: “I asked God every evening to find me ...” I even caught my breath. None of us have ever taught him this...
In general, our meeting with Kiryushka did not happen just like that, she has some kind of mystery of her own. Well, how to explain why he approached me? Myself. Do you understand? That's where the focus is. A very small, three-year-old man comes up and says: “Aunty, everyone has crosses, but I don’t. Give it to me, please ... ”I confess, at one time I often thought about whether Volodya and I should have decided on adoption, but as soon as I started thinking about this topic, the same picture immediately appeared before my eyes: Kiryushka, a little man in green tights stretched out on his knees, all alone moving away from us along this long, dull, hopeless orphanage corridor ... The same boy who the other day asked me for a cross and nothing more. Who did not shout, like all children in orphanages: “Take me, I am the best ...”, did not hang on me, along with others, like bunches of grapes.
No, this man did not hope for anything. Unless on a cross ... You know, my parents often told me in childhood: "Live in such a way that you are not ashamed of yourself." Now, if we had not taken Kirill, I would be very ashamed to live. And scary.
- Did Kirill tell anything about his past life?
Nothing, never. Doesn't want to. It is clear that life hit him hard at the very beginning, but he crossed out his past, forgot. Well, of course, not completely. I think he has his own closed sphere, but I am sure that he should not, he has no right to intrude into it. Kiryushka has the right to this secret, and if he does not tell about it, then it probably hurts him too much, otherwise he would probably tell.
It is my deep conviction that a person should be given the opportunity to let go of his past. And there is no need to wait for any outburst of emotions. He left that life forever. For a while we tried to hold him like in a cocoon. They whispered to him: “Everything, calm down, baby. Now you have a completely different life, and in it there is only love, peace and tranquility. And interesting books, films, circuses, theaters. And many, many joys and pleasures. In general, they dipped the little man into a real children's World- kind, quiet, wrapped in love and security.
- Did you take them to child psychologists - to get recommendations from specialists on proper education?
No. I believe that there are no better psychologists than parents, in the event that, of course, if they love their children.
