Today she is a loving and caring grandmother of six grandchildren. True, by her eighty years old, health began to fail her more and more. However, there is still power for love. Love for sons Misha and Yura, love for his native theater, but most importantly - love for his dear husband Semyochka, who has long been gone.
Childhood
The fate of fate was prepared for Marina Policeitsimako to become a child of the besieged Leningrad.
Born on February 10, 1938, the girl first heard the roar of sirens and explosions of bombs dropped on the city when she was not yet three years old. Her parents, both artists, were on tour at that time, very far from the war. My father is in Central Asia, and my mother is generally on the other end of a vast country, in Vladivostok.
Little Marina remained in the care of her grandmother, while their mother, distraught with horror, got to them in Leningrad across the country by train and by train. When she finally hugged her daughter, they managed to get out of the besieged city and go to the rear, in the then safe city of Stalingrad, to the father’s homeland. However, while they got to him, this city had already become front-line and boiling in the cauldron of the Battle of Stalingrad.
That was such a childhood in the biography of Marina Policeitsimako. She still remembers the sawdust cookies, the howling of sirens and the explosions of shells. When the family returned to Leningrad after the end of the war, the girl still had terrible tantrums for a long time when her parents again went on another tour - in memory of those terrible days of her besieged childhood.
Father
Vitaly Pavlovich Policeitsimako, People's Artist of the USSR and State Prize Laureate, was a bright and temperamental actor of the Gorky Bolshoi Drama Theater, he knew how to charge the audience with a good mood.
Marina Politsyimako’s father was no less than the twentieth child of a simple large Greek family, Politseymakos.
Working on his roles, Vitaly Pavlovich was very attentive to the subtle remarks of his wife, fully trusting her opinion. Parents of Marina unusually harmoniously approached each other. Papa was a large wide river Volga and chernozem, while mom was a sophisticated and European-educated young lady.
Mom
Evgenia Mikhailovna Fish was the daughter of a German Jewish banker who was shot dead on the threshold of his own home when he tried to protect his wife and daughter during the pogrom.
She grew up very beautiful and musical, sang and wrote poetry beautifully. Having become an actress of the New Theater in Leningrad, she performed on the stage in a rather rare colloquial genre at that time.
Her career was very hindered by the surname Fish. However, Evgenia Mikhailovna was a proud person and did not change her name for the sake of her career, gradually moving away into the shadow of her husband.
Maca-Kaka
The name of the daughter of Marina father, Vitaly Pavlovich. However, he himself always and everywhere called her Masha or Maca. Leaning out the window, calling her from the yard: "Mac, go home!" Naturally, soon for all her young friends and girlfriends she became "Makoy-Kakoy."
The future of the daughter of a talented acting family, who from early childhood knew the wonderful world of the theater, was determined - she dreamed of becoming an actress.

Marina's father himself was an actor and, as is usually the case in such families, he really did not want his daughter to become an artist either. Already very crazy were this field and way of life. He believed that the character of Maki is not suitable for an acting career. After graduating from school, Marina Policeitsimako still entered the theater school in her native Leningrad. There was a big scandal, after which the offended girl, in spite of everything, went to work at the Svetlana Electric Lamp Plant.
However, later she still leaves for Moscow and enters the B.V.Schukin Theater School, after which in 1965 she becomes an actress of the Moscow Drama and Comedy Theater on Taganka, where she still works.
Here, in Moscow, she marries for the first time, her son Yuri is born, who later became an ecologist and emigrated to South Africa.
Theatre
Over the years of work in the theater, actress Marina Policeitsimako played more than twenty-five roles, participating in performances such as “Woe from Wit to Woe to Mind,” “Three Sisters,” “Dawns Here Are Quiet,” “House on the Embankment,” “Galileo’s Life” "," Under the skin of the statue of liberty "and many others.
Marina Vitalievna, despite her eighty years, continues to actively participate in new theater productions - in the performances "Chronicles", "Medea", "The Brothers Karamazov".
Her last, but not final, work is the role in the new play Elsa.
“Elsa” is a story piercing the viewer that, despite his age or other difficulties, it is never too late to start all over again. A touching love story of the elderly Romeo and Juliet.
Movie
As an actress in the theater, at the beginning of her career, Marina Politsyomako appeared in films only occasionally, in episodic roles. Among such works, her roles in the television films “Tobacco Captain” and “Mikhailo Lomonosov” were especially noted by the audience.
With age, Marina Vitalyevna began to appear more often in films and series, in which she usually plays the roles of caring mothers and grandmother wise in life. These are such paintings as “Moscow Windows” and “Three Half-Graces”.
One of the landmark works of the actress of recent times has become one of the main roles in the drama "By the River" in 2007.
The basis of this picture is a detailed description of one day in the life of two women - an elderly mother and daughter. Once they break the monotonous course of their lives and go to the river for, perhaps, their last joint walk. Marina Policeitsimako brilliantly coped with her role as a mother, earning the highest praise from film critics and viewers.
Semyon Farad
In the life of any person, the only and most important meeting can happen once, after which everything that previously seemed right will turn into nothing. All her previous personal life in the biography of Marina Policeitsamako seemed to be lost in the fog when the wonderful and legendary Soviet actor Semyon Farada appeared in the theater in which she worked.
Semen Lvovich generally never thought about an acting career. He dreamed of associating his life with military service.
However, the natural comedic artistry and huge creative potential of Semen very quickly put everything in its place. He was noticed in the amateur circle at the Bauman Institute, then in the studio theater at Moscow State University, after which he went on his first tour from the Moskontsert.
The famous and beloved actor, having great success in theater and cinema, never received a theatrical education. But then it was in the theater that he met his fate.
Marina Vitalievna and Semyon Lvovich met in 1972, when he got a job at the Moscow Drama and Comedy Theater on Taganka. Opposites are said to attract. Off-stage, Semyon Farada, closed and immersed in himself, and open, cheerful and sociable Marina Policeitsimako surprisingly found a common language. Fallen in love with the already famous actress, Semyon set her a rather unusual and harsh condition:
I’ll marry if you give birth to my son! ..
And so, what came of it: their son Mikhail was born on April 7, 1976, when his famous father was already forty-two, and his mother was thirty-eight years old.
A family
Semyon Farad always dreamed about his son. Before the birth of little Misha, there were no other children in his life. No one had ever heard of the former wives of Semyon Lvovich. This topic has never been discussed in the family.
Father infinitely loved Misha and literally could not breathe them, and his son simply adored him. As Farada later put it:
In the early years I did not let Misha out of my mouth ...

When Misha was six years old, the family came together with both grandmothers and moved into a spacious four-room apartment. Maternal grandmother, Baba Zhenya, was a bohemian woman. In contrast, Baba Ida, the mother of Farada, was from an ordinary working-class family and worked in a pharmacy all her life. They were complete antipodes of each other. Parents constantly traveled around filming and touring, and the boy was brought up by grandmothers.
So, torn by contradictions, the actor Mikhail Policeitsimako grew up.
Michael
The boy grew up proving to everyone that he was not just “the son of Farada”, but also a man who could achieve everything himself. Moreover, his father, Semyon Lvovich, strongly supported such independence in his son, only occasionally, from the height of his past years, “laid straws on him,” feeling that his son needed his help.
Having easily graduated from GITIS, Mikhail became a sought-after and diverse actor, having played many roles for theater and cinema. Among his works, the most distinguished are the characters of the paintings "On the Other Side of the Wolves", "Money Day", "DMB". The big-eyed curly-haired young man could also be seen in such productions of the Russian Academic Youth Theater as "Anne Frank Diary", "Deer King", "Romeo and Juliet".
Losses
Since 1987, a long period of trials and losses has come for Marina Police. First, her mother, Evgenia Mikhailovna Fish, died. Two years later, Ida Davydovna Schuman, the mother of her husband, Semyon Lvovich, died.
And then a terrible thing happened - having suffered a severe stroke after the death of his best friend, Grigory Gorin, Semyon Farad himself fell ill for nine long years, before that he had suffered a congenital heart defect all his life.
The actor had to learn to walk and talk again for about a year. When Semyon Lvovich was discharged from the hospital, his beloved shepherd rushed towards him, joyfully knocking out the cane from which he relied. Farada fell, broke his thigh neck and was again bedridden.
Marina Vitalievna was always next to her beloved husband, trying to help him cope with the disease, and more often - making him want to live.
Then a second stroke occurred, and on August 20, 2009 Semyon Lvovich Farada died ...
