Tatyana Tashkova was born at the end of the summer of 1956, or rather, on August 24, in the city of Volgograd. Parents were ordinary people, the family could not boast of wealth, but the atmosphere of love and understanding that always reigned in the house made little Tanya’s childhood very happy. Her dad studied at the Polytechnic Institute, but when the youngest daughter Tatyana was born in the family, he was forced to drop out of school, because the children had to be supported, and the student scholarship was enough only for bread and milk. So he got a job as a simple worker at the factory, but his superiors, realizing his abilities, soon appointed him a master. His hands were really golden and all the local boys, knowing this, constantly asked him to fix something. Possessing a sensitive heart and a wide soul, he never refused anyone. And Tatyana Tashkova’s mother worked in trade. She perfectly cooked and constantly pleased family members with various culinary masterpieces.
First dreams
As a schoolgirl, Tatyana Tashkova devoted a lot of time to sports, in particular, athletics. She even dreamed of a sports career. The activity, responsibility and openness of Tanya was always noticed by others, so at school she was constantly engaged in community service. I attended all the circles that I had just worked at school: art, drama, and vocal ...
Schukin School
But after graduation, something in the young girl’s mind changed, and she suddenly realized that she wanted to become an actress. In the family, her desire to go into the acting profession was accepted with hostility. Parents thought that having gone to Moscow, she would waste time and not do it. And indeed, at that time, few ordinary people understood the essence of acting, considering it something like entertainment. However, the parents made a wise decision to let Tanya go to Moscow, so that she herself would be convinced of the frivolity and unrealizability of her plans. But everything turned out the other way around: Tashkova from the first attempt entered the school, and soon in 1974 received an invitation to act in film. Tatyana Tashkova, an actress at that time unknown to anyone, only graduated from the first year of school and decided not to tell the teachers that she was going to act in Minsk. There, the director immediately began to make transparent proposals to her, calling to his room at 10 o’clock in the evening, and even later. She did not go on about the persistent director and rejected his obscene proposals. And the offended man took revenge on her: set up and removed from the role. Therefore, the acting debut of Tatyana Tashkova occurred only in 1975.
First marriage
The maiden name of Tatyana Tashkova is Shurshikova. And in 1978, she got married and changed her surname to Vasiliev. At the time of marriage, the newlyweds were still students. She is a Shchukin school, and he is MGIMO. According to the actress herself, she and her husband loved each other very much, but the features of the acting life that she faced when she started acting in films did not like her husband. He reproached her with insufficient attention to him, and gradually the relationship came to a standstill. The husband was just going on a business trip abroad for a long period of time, calling her with him, as he still loved. But Tatyana Tashkova, who also still had feelings for her husband, chose an acting career. She herself filed for divorce, and soon the marriage was dissolved.
Unequal marriage
Acquaintance with Evgeny Tashkov happened when Tatyana starred in one of his paintings, while still a student. They began friendships, and once, when Tatyana had no work, Evgeny Ivanovich offered her his help in preparing the passage for the show. So their communication became more frequent. They spent a lot of time together: either walking around the city, then going to the theater, or just chatting. But Tanya could not even imagine that the famous director fell in love with her. And when I heard from Yevgeny Ivanovich a marriage proposal, she was dumbfounded and could not immediately answer.
Gradually Tatyana Tashkova fell in love. As the actress herself says: "the soul cleaved to the soul." A year later, she accepted the offer and moved to live with her husband.
Parents Tatyana and mother Evgeni Ivanovich received the news of their marriage with hostility. But later they realized that Tanya and Zhenya were really connected by strong feelings.
Hard times
A few years later, Tatyana Tashkova, whose biography contains many tragic events, experienced a severe shock. She became pregnant, gave birth to a baby girl, but a day after the birth of her daughter died from blood poisoning. The Tashkovs experienced this grief very seriously. And when a few years later their son Alexei was born, they, fearing to lose him, simply shook over him.
When Alexei was three years old, Evgeny Ivanovich was fired from Mosfilm. To cope with the difficult financial situation, the Tashkovs bought a summer house and grew vegetables and fruits, from which they made preparations for the winter. It was a catastrophic lack of money that forced Tatyana to leave the acting profession for a while. I thought that for a short while, but this period dragged on for 10 years. At first, Tatyana Tashkova, whose personal life was also seriously tested then, worked as a cook, then was engaged in the manufacture of designer leather goods, and later also worked in a bank. Evgeny Ivanovich, also left without work, became isolated. A wave of misunderstanding swept the Tashkov family. They were even on the verge of parting, but one serious conversation in which everyone was able to explain their experiences, kept the family together and brought the spouses closer.
