Kareva Yunona Ilinichna, whose biography is brought to your attention in this article, is an Honored Artist of Russia and Tatarstan. She is a wonderful actress, a talented theater teacher.
Itâs not so simple in life
Kharkov. 1933 year. A little girl was born in the Feldman family, who was named Juno. Mother Elena, pianist, loved Vivaldi's music, Chemoroso. They were also listened to by little Yuna. Sounded in the house and poems of famous poets, as well as mother's, which she composed.
Father - Ilya, a famous architect in Kharkov. It was he who chose the name of the ancient Roman goddess, the queen of heaven, for her daughter. But she didnât like it. âI love it when everything is simple,â she said later. Therefore, for her son, she chose the name Sergey.
Juno's mom was a real beauty. It was a stunning success in men. Among passionate fans is Oscar Strok. He dedicated his tangos to her, offered his hand, heart and moving to Riga. But it did not happen.
The grandmother of the future actress, the Polish lady Mrs. Szydlowski, was also one of the beauties, had an amazing voice. Sang in the Glinka Chapel. Her first husband is Bulgarian Stefan Karazhelyaskov. Revolutionary, died in 1918. Christina stayed with her little daughter in her arms. The second time she married a German mining engineer German Mund, who had to urgently return to Germany, and the woman did not want to leave the USSR. For marriage with foreigners, Yuna's grandmother cruelly paid. In 1937 she went to work in the Capella. The return trip home was 12 years long. She was arrested and sent to a camp near Magadan.
Was there a childhood?
The childhood of the future pearl of acting cannot be called happy and carefree. Although she was adored at home, spoiled. Especially the father.
And then, in the summer of 1941, the father sends his family to relatives in Penza. Himself engaged in the evacuation of enterprises, people. I was in the city almost before the Germans entered it. He failed to leave with all. I had to leave on my own on foot.
When his father appeared in Penza, Kareva Juno, in an overgrown, dirty and lame man with a cart, did not even recognize him at once.
Next was Siberia, where his father was sent to build a military plant. In Novosibirsk, Ilya Samoilovich left the family with friends, and he went to Barnaul. The Siberians were not happy with the arrival of the "guests". They didnât even let me into the house. There was no food. They ate what was left of Penza, and then looked for cleaning in the garbage dumps, cooked the balance. So survived the winter. In the spring they allocated a small piece of land under the garden. Harvest of cabbage gathered noble. Yuna and her mother even traded her in the bazaar.
In the fall, classes at school began. But at night the girl worked at a military factory: she packed with other shells in boxes for sending to the front. In the morning, before classes, or after she fled to the hospital, read poetry to the wounded. It was then, in 1942, that the 9-year-old Kharkiv woman realized what she would devote her whole life to: she saw with what attention and adoration the fighters listen and look at her.
Homecoming
1943 year. They liberated Kharkov. Fathers were called to rebuild the city. Leaving, promised to pick up at the first opportunity. Wife and daughter again had to starve.
Not immediately, but still took it. They returned with the Kharkov theater, which was on tour in Ulan-Ude. The journey home was long. The train stopped at every stop. Kareva Juno was not discouraged. She got acquainted with all the artists. In the evenings I read poetry to them. Particularly attentively listened to the girl Alexander Kramov, the main director of the theater. In Kharkov, he invited me to children's roles, taught what and how to do. I had no doubt that a talented actress was growing.
One day before graduation at school, Yuna met Kramov. They talked for a long time, and the old man said, if, they say, what happens to him, go to Moscow. On the same day, Alexander G. died.
She might not have a future
When Yuna was 16 years old, usually a cheerful father, seriously looking at the girl, led to his office, said that she needed to change her nationality and surname to her mother's. In 1949, repressions and persecution of Jews began again in the country. He was afraid that his daughter would have no future prospects. So Juno Feldman became Karazhelyaskova.
Instead of the Moscow Art Theater - "Sliver"
The Moscow Art Theater came to Kharkov to select students in the studio. It was 1953 in the yard. Junoâs first qualifier was easy. The third must be held in Moscow. Passed by. But suddenly the director of the school calls and is stunned: the examination committee concluded that the girl is not tall, and she needs to sit on a carrot for a year and reach 165 cm. And the next year she will pass without exams.
After crying all day and night, the girl went out into the city.
The legs themselves came to the school Shchepkina. At this time, the girls took the course. Juno immediately got on the exam. I read Zoya by Margarita Aliger and an excerpt from Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina.
And she heard: she was freed from the third round. Enrolled. You just need to lose 15 kilograms and get rid of the Ukrainian accent. I sat on one chocolate bar and lost weight. And with an accent, Sliver teachers already helped.
Last name change
Graduated from college. A young talented actress is called to Moscow and Kharkov. I decided to go to Vladivostok.
Yuna's father was already sick at that time. In the 40s, a wave of anti-Semitism swept across the entire former USSR. Ilya Samoilovich is one Jew in the city who was not expelled from the CPSU. He worked tirelessly: the restoration of the Odessa Theater, many buildings in his hometown, the construction of the Memorial of Soldiers' Glory, the Glass Jet complex.
The father wrote to his daughter: if you leave for Vladivostok, I will die.
After reading the letter, she burst into tears. This was seen by classmate Seva Platov. He was just taken to the theater in Kazan. He made her an offer. She did not refuse. Young people signed and left for Kazan. A long happy life did not work. Soon, Seva went to Moscow. Juno stayed to work in the theater. The director only lamented, they say, it is difficult to pronounce the name. So again, the last one, she changed her last name. She became Kareva.
The most beautiful woman of Kazan is Juno
The real beauty was Juno Kareva. The photo is an indisputable proof of that. Literally from the first exits on the stage, Kareva won her audience. She became the leading actress of the Kazan Drama Theater. Kachalova. More than a hundred roles, recognition, adoration of the audience, title ... âThe Case of Loveâ, âHorseback Ridingâ and other performances. She is in the lead. A repertoire is taken under it, the viewer walks on it. In the production of Hot Summer in Berlin, she played with Vadim Keschner, a man who became her true friend. And the performance for many years did not leave the stage.
The play âBefore the Mirrorâ, based on the novel by Kaverin, was only shown four times before being banned. The actress played Lisa Turaeva. Then even the audience reacted to the production in different ways. Dissidents were not welcomed in those years. But the performance was memorable. The author presented Juno with his appreciative book.
Juno Kareva is an actress who bathes in glory. Leading roles, flowers, fans. The audience is thrilled. She is an iconic actress in the city. Psychological, sophisticated, convincing in any role. And the most beautiful woman of the city. She is valued, respected, and loved.
The life of an actress is not only a theater
In 1971, Juno Kareva is gaining a course at a local school. A few years later Vadim Keschner also came there, with whom they released a whole galaxy of magnificent actors. Among them are Chulpan Khamatova, a famous actress, Yuri Ilyin, the main director of the Kachalovsky Theater, Sergey Ugryumov, an actor of the Moscow Art Theater, and many others.
Real actors and teachers, Kareva and Keschner recognized talents in students, did not give up their hands at the first failures, confidently led to heights. They had something to offer their students, they worked with great enthusiasm and desire. Together, 40 years old, they have 11 issues.
And I had to leave the theater after a stunning success and 37 years of work. Itâs just that they didnât conclude another contract after completing the previous one. She didnât even try to find out why?
As it turned out much later, there was a misunderstanding between the directorate and the actress. But Kareva was insulting and after many years.
You canât break a heart if one heart is for two
In the personal life of Kareva there have been changes. She became the wife of Stanislav Govorukhin. Then he worked on local television. He was a graduate of the geological faculty of Kazan University, and not a single student "dried up" on it. But Stanislav, like many Kazan men, fell in love with a black-haired, green-eyed Juno. He admitted that he stole his wife directly from the stage (it is possible that this is why the geologist became a famous filmmaker). She reciprocated. Got married. In 1961, the son of Seryozha was born. And then Stanislav went to Moscow to study. Unsettled life, distances ... Juno refused to go to the capital - theater, roles, recognition. She felt great there.
Time put everything in its place - in a couple of years they parted. Kareva has a new love. There were no offenses. They remained friends. Govorukhin invited her to shoot the film "The meeting place cannot be changed." Gruzdev's wife, played by Kareva, is an episodic role, but memorable. Beautiful even without makeup, the actress remembered the audience.
On the set - a meeting with Vysotsky. They have known each other for a long time. They are connected by friendships. Kareva warmly remembered him.
The third husband, Marat Tazetdinov, when they met, was the director of the Tatarstan State Philharmonic Society. Composer, director, poet and bard, he idolized his muse, dedicated poetry and songs to her. They were a great couple, although living was not easy. Their apartment is always full of friends, acquaintances and strangers. Guests daily. In many ways they were different.
After the divorce, Juno maintained good relations with all her husbands.
Kareva Juno Ilyinichna: films
Kareva starred a little, but each role is expressive and emotional. Deep green eyes seemed to penetrate directly into the soul even through the screen. âTime of the Dancerâ, âMoon Papaâ, âCountry of the Deafâ - Kareva starred in them together with her favorite Chulpan Khamatova. And I really enjoyed watching her. They communicated with Chulpan before Junona Ilyinichna passed away.
Another not the main, but not passing by the attention of the viewer picture with the participation of Juno Kareva is âSheremetyevo-2â by Yuri Kuzmenko. Let her own few films. The main thing is that she managed to transfer knowledge and talent to her young students.
Son
There was a beloved, only son, whom she brought up a real man. When asked how she succeeded, she answered: books and music.
Sergey Govorukhin is the author of several books, a member of the Union of Writers and Filmmakers of Russia.
During the Chechen war he was a participant in those events. Wounded, lost a leg. At 50, he suffered a stroke. The days when he was unconscious, Juno was nearby. At the end of October 2011, Sergey died.
Juno Kareva: cause of death
Itâs hard to imagine what the mother was worried about after the death of her son. Even before that, she was not distinguished by good health; ailments made themselves felt. But severe stress launched a non-stop cancer machine. After the death of her son, Karev was never able to recover. Juno Ilyinichna Kareva, whose photo you see in the article, died on May 27, 2013.
The body of the great actress, according to her will, was cremated and buried in the grave of her son.
