A creative person, screenwriter, production designer and director, she quietly died of cancer in the Pskov region in the company of her own daughter Maria.

Demidova Elena: biography pages

The woman was born in the post-war 1947, April 24th. Little is known about her. The mother of the star of the national cinema gave birth to two children - a son and a daughter - from different marriages. Vladislav, born in 1971, was raised by his grandparents and spent most of his childhood in Zhukovsky near Moscow. Georgy Cherkasov is considered his biological father, but at school they remember Sukhachev by the name. That is how he appeared in the credits of his first film work based on the work of Mark Twain The Adventures ofTom Sawyer. Vlad began acting at the age of nine, showing an extraordinary talent.

Demidova Elena for the third time married Boris Galkin, an actor who perfectly embodied the images of the military on the screen. He not only officially adopted the children, giving them his last name and patronymic, but also really engaged in their upbringing. The school remembers that in the senior classes it was Vladislav's stepfather who most often attended parent meetings. How did Elena Petrovna's career develop?

Creative activity

The woman played in the theater, in 1992 she starred in an episodic role in the film “Remember the smell of lilacs …”, but her cinematic career is more associated with work as a screenwriter and production designer. Once on the set of the film "Matveeva's Joy" she met Boris Galkin. It was her most enduring marriage, lasting 30 years.

She is also known as a wonderful film critic. Behind the woman are 8 serious projects. As an artist, Elena Demidova took part in four films (the last one in 2006). The actress did not work out of her, but five scenarios that formed the basis of famous films came out of the pen. Among them are The Game, her first work (1992), and Truckers 2, which starred her famous son.

As a director, Elena Petrovna made her debut in 1995, filming "Male Talisman", and in 2010 she had to participate in the documentary "It's hard to be a hero …". This year, a woman lost her beloved son.

The death of a son anddivorce

The official cause of death of Vlad Galkin is heart failure. But many remember the persecution of the press preceding this event after the actor, in a state of intoxication, behaved unworthily in one of the bars in Moscow. And although there was a show trial and official apologies were made, it was impossible to appease the journalists. How did Elena Demidova perceive these events? Boris Sergeevich Galkin's wife, like the actor's father, was aware that the breakdown was associated with the hardest work on the film "Kotovsky" and troubles in his personal life. The young man could not withstand the "public spanking".

Already at the funeral, it was obvious that the country had lost one of its most talented actors. The parents were supported by the idea of creating a museum in an apartment on Prechistinka, which their son bought a year before the tragedy. But after the ex-wife Daria Mikhailova sold the apartment, she had to part with the dream.

And in 2013, Elena Demidova survived another blow. Galkin's wife was left alone. Boris Sergeevich, who himself perfectly performed romances, fell in love with the chanson singer Inna Razumikhina and left the family. He left an apartment in the central district of the capital to his ex-wife. Eyewitnesses say that Elena Petrovna herself pushed him to such a step, distraught with grief.

Last years of life

Imperceptibly the disease crept up, and Elena Demidova realized that she could not live on her own. Daughter Masha came from the Pskov region, forced not to work and take care of her sick mother. After some time, she took her to the villageKonnovo, where Elena Petrovna spent her last days and hours. Mother and daughter lived on a single pension and were in dire need of support. Elena Demidova until the last minute received gratitude from the fans of her son, with whom she dreamed of reuniting at the Troekurovsky cemetery.

Boris Galkin took care of all the arrangements for the funeral of his ex-wife. A few years ago, the spouses were separated by the death of their son, but the end of the story with his death for the adoptive father has not been set. He is one of those who do not believe in the official version of the death of Vladislav Galkin, believing that in reality there was a murder.
