The fate of this woman is not easy and full of surprises. But an insatiable desire to live and be happy helps her through all the barriers. Many have remembered her red hair and perky freckles.
The birth of a star
On November 12, 1954, a girl was born in Chisinau, who was named Irina. From childhood, it was clear that a mischievous child with red hair has great potential. By happy coincidence, the director of Belarusfilm Igor Dobrolyubov turned out to be a neighbor of the family in which Irina Brazgovka was born. He noticed a huge talent in the tomboy girl and asked her father, deputy minister of public utilities, to let her go on set. This happened when Irina was 8 years old. From the very first minutes, she perfectly got used to the role and felt very confident under the light of spotlights. Although she herself told how her knees were trembling at that moment.
Carier start
Irina Brazgovka looked in the frame very naturally and organically, thereby attracting the attention of viewers to herself. After the first steps in the career of the actress, 6 years have passed. However, the red-haired girl’s debut was not forgotten, and at the age of 14 she got a central role in the film “Street Without End” under the guidance of the same Igor Dobrolyubov. At this age, the once nimble child has already turned into a blooming young red-haired girl, whose talent no one doubted, he was so obvious.
Learning is light
After she successfully played a major role in the film, she was advised to enter VGIK, which she did. She was accepted even without entrance exams, relying on the deafening sensation that she made in the paintings of Dobrolyubov. At the university, Irina Brazgovka was able not only to get a good education, but also to make a career thanks to him. Fellow students of the 17-year-old Ira were such talented people as Alexander Pankratov, Natalya Andreichenko, Andrei Rostotsky. However, while studying and studying on stage, a doubt crept into the girl’s soul whether she had made the right decision when she entered the University of Cinematography and whether this was really her way. These thoughts distracted Irina from work, which is why on the stage she felt insecure and squeezed, unlike other guys. But these doubts were only a kind of test in the career of a young beauty. The girl did not go astray.
New direction
The incentive to pursue a career was a visit to the concert, where Irina met a folklore ensemble under the direction of Dmitry Pokrovsky, and then, by chance, she met him visiting her friends. The artist just needed young talented people, so Irina Brazgovka decided to go for an audition to Pokrovsky. Her fellow students were convinced that, having started working in the ensemble, you can forget about acting, because it will suppress talent. But this didn’t scare Ira, and she quickly went to her goal. The work in the ensemble inspired the young actress, and she believed that this was her vocation.
Sudden acquaintance
Just at the beginning of a career in the ensemble, Andrei Konchalovsky, who was a fairly popular actor at that time, drew attention to the green-eyed beauty. He asked Brazgovka for a meeting. Then she thought that they want to offer her a role, but everything turned out differently. Konchalovsy became interested in Irina as a woman. Their relationship was short-lived. The famous actor had a family abroad. Irina Brazgovka knew about this, but Andrey was so interesting for her that she simply could not refuse him. Once he informed her that they would soon part: he planned to leave Moscow. According to the actress, at that moment she felt very lonely, although her attitude to Konchalovsky could not be called great love.
Sudden gift
At the time when the young woman went on tour with the ensemble, Konchalovsky went abroad. Therefore, upon returning from the tour, Irina did not find her lover. And after a while I realized that she would give birth to a child from him. For some reason, the actress was convinced that Konchalovsky, without knowing it, gave her a son. But a daughter, Dasha, was born. During pregnancy, actress Irina Brazgovka was surrounded by care and help from her ensemble and its leader. Therefore, the girl stayed on stage almost until the very last days of pregnancy.
Dasha was given a terrible diagnosis - a rare virus that infects the baby’s liver. Despite the fact that the mother of the child was in despair, she continued to believe in the recovery of her daughter, although the doctors did not promise anything. However, this faith and willpower, which helped to fight for the life of the child, won, and a year later they were discharged from the hospital healthy.
New challenge
Soon after discharge, a man appeared in the actress's life. He attracted Irina with his activity and love of life. The woman’s relationship with the new passion could not be called permanent: he either disappeared, then came back. A year later, the woman became pregnant again. And now the second baby was born Irina Brazgovka - daughter Sasha, who became another illegitimate child of the actress. It turned out that the man was married, so Brazgovka also failed to build a family with him.
But the actress was not left alone with two children. Her friends from the ensemble continued to help her, and Dmitry Pokrovsky even managed to knock out a cooperative apartment for the woman on the outskirts.
Friends of the artist believed that she underestimates herself. And for some reason, men who do not cherish her are always on the way for a woman. Such was Irina Brazgovka, whose personal life for some reason did not work out, despite the mind, talent and beauty of this dazzling woman.
Throughout her career, the actress took only those roles that were really close in spirit, where she practically did not need to pretend. Because of this, she did not become a highly paid star, like many others who succumbed to commerce.
Leaving the ensemble
Everything was in her life. Irina Brazgovka, whose biography is more like a film about fate, has gone through many trials. When her daughters began to grow up, the woman realized that she would not be able to raise them with dignity, constantly leaving for tours and for months disappearing at performances. Therefore, she had to abandon her place in the ensemble under the leadership of Dmitry Pokrovsky. But you had to earn a living. The actress’s common-law husband suggested that she let her creativity go in a slightly different direction, namely, to create jewelry, jewelry and semiprecious products. The actress herself also sold her products.
After 15 years, Irina was waiting for a new separation - with Alexander. Relations dried up and turned into a misunderstanding, quarrels. Grievances and claims have accumulated.
Meanwhile, the two daughters of Brazgovka were growing up, a source of income was needed to give children a decent education. Friends of the actress did not leave the woman alone with their problems. They helped her get a job in a pharmaceutical company, and then she became a manager. Suddenly, the artist discovered medicine and psychology.
Return to the past
In this difficult situation, a childhood friend advised her to inform Konchalovsky that he has a daughter, Dasha. But Ira refused to do this because of some of her beliefs. Vitya did not calm down and, despite Irina's refusals, called Konchalovsky himself. Soon a telephone rang in the woman’s house. Dasha’s father called, who wanted to see his daughter.
He refused to give Irina money for raising a child, but promised to arrange everything with education. A few days later, all the newspapers were full of headlines about the illegitimate 15-year-old child of Konchalovsky.
Dasha went to study in America. Thanks to the news about Irina’s long-standing relationship with a famous actor, she suddenly became popular again. Everyone remembered the talent, incredible charisma and sparkle of that red-haired girl that she used to be.
The return of the star
News of the relationship with Konchalovsky influenced the resumption of the career of the actress. She began to offer roles in various films, which she gladly accepted, merging into creativity with renewed vigor. The star of the artist did not die out despite many trials. She began to shine even brighter than before. Again became a sought-after actress Irina Brazgovka. Her filmography now has more than 50 paintings, she is very diverse and shows the actress as a multilateral personality. In some roles, a woman fully reveals her talent, in other films she is shown only for a moment.
The radiance of the artist continues now. A few years ago, a woman was nominated for a Nika Award for Best Actress in the film War Is Over. Forget. Perhaps this picture symbolizes the grandiose changes in the life of the actress. Irina Brazgovka, whose photos radiate warmth and sincerity, continues to attract the attention of directors and win the hearts of ordinary people, viewers.
We can say that in the life of this strong and beautiful woman now came those moments of calm that she so lacked in her youth. The actress works at the Satyricon Theater. Her life, like a reminder of a career in the Pokrovsky ensemble, is associated with music: she is involved in the musical design of performances. The actress is still offered roles in films, which she gladly accepts. Daughter Dasha returned from America to her homeland, got married. Now she has two children. Irina's youngest daughter, Sasha, became a successful designer.
Despite all the feelings and sorrows that fate provided to this woman, she did not break, but was able to overcome all difficulties. She can not be called a one-day actress. Behind this artist there are many roles and performances. For many, she remained the same young red-haired girl. Actress Brazgovka Irina, whose photo reminds us that not all artists are sold commercially, is an ordinary sincere person who also needs warmth, love and support from friends.
Konchalovsky recalled the first days of their acquaintance, when she told the artist about the origin of her surname: "Translated from the Belarusian language, it means dew drops that shimmer in the sun." Irina really looks like those very rainbow droplets that attract and attract with their simple beauty.
