Childhood and youth
Oleg Pavlovich was born in the city of Saratov on August 17, 1935. A large and loving family lived in a cramped communal apartment: two grandmothers, an uncle, an aunt, a father and mother, and two children, Oleg's half-brother and sister. As Tabakov himself recalled, this is the sunniest and most serene time of his life. The family did not live in luxury, since childhood Oleg knew that every penny in the house should be earned by honest labor.
Tabakov's father - Pavel Kondratievich and mother - Maria Andreevna worked as doctors. From childhood, the boy loved the theater, often visited the Youth Theater, sometimes watched the same performance several times, memorized entire passages from the text of the characters. The serene life ended in 1941. The war forced my father to go to the front, where he, as an experienced doctor, took over the leadership of the sanitary-military train. Mother worked at one of the railway stations in the hospital as a general practitioner.
But the worst event in the biography of Oleg Tabakov happened later. His beloved father brought a new family from the front, and his parents separated. This was the strongest blow for the boy, he was very worried. Then he gradually got used to a new life, his mother returned with him to Saratov, where Oleg Tabakov studied at a school for boys and attended his firsttheater group "Young Guard". It was theatrical activities that saved the guy from the bad company into which he was drawn by a street chanter. Oleg Pavlovich spoke very warmly about the studio teacher Natalya Iosifovna Sukhostav, calling her his godmother.
Life in Saratov remained in the heart of the actor for many years. He often came with performances to his small homeland and even organized the Saratov Suffering festival. Grateful residents erected a monument to him in the city during his lifetime.
Beginning of theater activities
The creative biography of the actor Oleg Tabakov began after graduation, when a young man in 1953 took a chance and applied for admission to the two most prestigious theater universities in the country at once - to the Moscow Art Theater School. Nemirovich-Danchenko and GITIS. Having brilliantly passed all the exams in both one and the other, he chose the Moscow Art Theater to study. Since childhood, he was firmly convinced of the unsurpassed talent of the teachers of this university.
Training took place on the course of Vasily Toporkov. This is a wonderful teacher who considered Tabakov his best student. While still a 3rd year student, young Tabakov played his first role in the movie "Tight Knot". His character - Sasha Komelev - was a very ideological Soviet youth who opposed the chairman of the collective farm.
After graduating from the university, Tabakov, as a result of distribution, gets to work at the Stanislavsky Moscow Drama Theater, but fate was favorable to him, and soon he was transferred to the studio of young actors, which later becamethe famous theater "Sovremennik", which at that time was directed by Comrade Tabakov - Oleg Efremov.

The first Tabakov family
Oleg met his first wife when he was young. There are persistent rumors that Lyudmila Krylova first saw Tabakov during a performance in Sovremennik. The young and handsome guy had an undoubted charm, so it is not surprising that the girl fell head over heels in love with the handsome man. For the sake of an idol, Lyudmila entered the famous Sliver, and after graduation she worked at the Maly Theater and did not forget to spend evenings at Sovremennik, waiting for her pet to appear on stage.
A young, successful and handsome guy was also very popular at that time among the female half of society, which did not stop the girl's passion at all. After the first meeting, young people began to meet, and after 4 days they began to live together. Lyudmila became pregnant, but the couple married only when their son was 2 months old. Happy parents had two children - son Anton and younger daughter Alexander. In the biography of Oleg Tabakov, personal life has always taken a secondary role. On theThe first place has always been work, which could not but affect relationships in the family. Let's take a closer look at how Tabakov's wife and children spent their time.
Lyudmila Krylova
From the biography of Oleg Tabakov's wife, it is known that, unlike her husband, she is a native Muscovite, born on October 2, 1938. She grew up in a poor family, but from childhood she loved fiction, went to the library, since there were few of her own books in the house. After a friend entered the Shchepkinskoye school, she decided that she would also definitely go there to study. I enrolled in a circle at the Pravda House of Culture and the very next year I became a student of the coveted Sliver.
After graduating, she played a lot in plays and acted in films, also worked on television and radio. She stopped acting productively only in 1989. The woman endured all the hardships of family life with the loving Tabakov, knowing about his adventures. But the family held on for the sake of two children.
Anton Tabakov

The desired child was born on July 11, 1960. Because of the eternal employment of the parents, the nanny and grandmother raised the boy. The lack of attention from the father became the cause of internal insults and misunderstandings. Anton, of course, appreciated the talent of Oleg Pavlovich, but, in his opinion, his father did not take off the actor's mask even at home.
Although the boy had been acting in films since the age of six, his father did not wanthe followed in his footsteps and entered the theater university. He did not see the talent of his son. However, the guy acts out of spite and successfully graduates from GITIS. For ten whole years, Anton Tabakov worked at Sovremennik, remarkably playing many interesting roles.

Anton's younger sister, Alexandra, was born 6 years later than her brother, in 1966. The girl, like all family members, had an innate acting talent, so no one was surprised that after graduating from school she hurried to enter the Moscow Art Theater School-Studio. The teachers noted the undoubted acting gift of the girl and predicted a great future for her. However, after filming in several films, Alexandra went on television, where she was the host of the Let's Go! program. Then she worked at a radio station, wasco-host of "Mishanina" on "Silver Rain".

According to close people of the family, the children did not want to see their father and supported their mother in every possible way. Alexandra's teacher recalls that the girl even thought about suicide. Anton until the end of his life with his father was in a strained relationship.
