Sati Spivakova is a famous actress of the Soviet Union and Russia, a successful TV presenter, and the wife of the famous and talented violinist and conductor Vladimir Spivakov. An example of life with harmonious coexistence as a mother, wife and successful woman is demonstrated by Sati Spivakova. Biography, photos are given in the article.
Childhood
Sati Spivakova (Sahakyants), whose biography will be described in this article, was born in Yerevan, in a creative and musical family. Her grandmother lived in Rostov, although she was Armenian. She had an amazingly beautiful voice and often sang at church services. Actually, there the girl's grandfather fell in love with her. During the war, they left for Armenia, where it was calmer. The father of the Yerevan beauty was born there.
Zare Sahakyants, Sati's dad, is a well-known violinist in Armenia. Mother, Aida Avetisova - pianist. Spivakova's childhood was filled with music and love. In her memoirs, the TV presenter noted that she associates her childhood with the sound of the violin, with preparations for the celebration of the New Year, with the beautiful city of Yerevan and the Zare chamber orchestra.
But Sati doesn't like celebrating her birthday. All because in 1986On the eve of this day, her father died, and the funeral took place on January 7, when Sati Spivakova was born (biography indicates the year of birth as 1962).
Youth
Given that Sati comes from a musical family, she could not avoid the appropriate education. In parallel with her studies at a regular high school, the girl studied at a specialized music school. She played the piano. According to the TV presenter herself, these classes did not give her much pleasure. She dreamed of becoming an actress. She was attracted to poetry, and often poetry evenings were held in the house.
It was at this time that two dreams arose in Spivakova's soul about working with brilliant directors: G. A. Tovstonogov and R. G. Viktyuk. The first was not given, and the second was performed quite recently on the stage of one of the Moscow theaters, where Viktyuk staged a solo performance "Tenderness" with the participation of Sati Spivakova.
After leaving school, in 1979, young Sati told her parents that she was leaving for Moscow to enter the theater institute. She submitted documents to all universities, but only passed to GITIS.
Education
Because of her pronounced Armenian appearance, Sati could not enter the Shchukin School, but they took her to GITIS right away (there were quotas for the Union republics).
Sati Spivakova, whose biography tells about the different stages of her life, got to GITIS on a course to Tumanov. The head was sympathetic to the girl who was offered the first role in the movie, and immediately the main one. Usually students were forbiddenfilming, but she managed to go to classes and fly to Armenia to shoot. The girl had such a crazy schedule for more than two months. But after the completion of work on the film, according to the memoirs of Sati, Tumanov was imbued with respect for her.
Unfortunately, soon I. M. Tumanov died, Sati went on academic leave for another film, and returned to the course with the leader O. Ya. Remez, who did not trust her role even in the second cast. The girl completely lost interest in studying.
At this time she meets her future husband Vladimir Spivakov. Ridiculous rumors about their connection are crawling around Moscow, and the head of the course refuses to give the role of Sati in the graduation performance, arguing that Spivakov will be able to arrange her anywhere without a GITIS diploma.
All the same, the role of Sati was given. Almost silent, with a four-word replica. Sati Saakyants was terribly disappointed by this turn of events, but she managed to pass all the final exams and get a diploma. And then she began a completely different life, the life of a mother, wife, mistress of the house.
A few years after the birth of her first daughter, the actress studied at the Sorbonne for six months.
Career
Sati began her career as an actress in 1980 with the role of Miriam in the film "Lyric March". Armenian director Aghasi Ayvazyan invited a GITIS student to play the dramatic role of a girl who sacrifices the life of her husband, who was arrested for violating the law, for the sake of a Bolshevik political prisoner. Everything takes place in 1918. In the credits, Sati is listed under her maiden name Sahakyants.
After some time, Spivakova successfully auditioned for a film directed by Marat Varzhapetyan. And again the main role. The film-opera "Anush" was released in 1983 and brought fame to Sati in his native Armenia and other republics of the Soviet Union.
Sati Spivakova, whose biography is rich in work with Armenian directors, also received her third role in a film produced by her native country. It was the 1986 family comedy Alien Games.
After this film, Sati's career as an actress faded into the background. Now, she was first and foremost a mother and a wife. After the death of her father, she lived for some time in Yerevan with her mother. There she was again invited to shoot, but Spivakova's husband was against this idea, she had to forget about her ambitions.
The biography of Sati Spivakova is unique in the sense that after a huge break in her career, she still managed to realize her acting and oratorical talent. She starred in a feature film directed by Renata Litvinova. The role in "Rita's Last Tale" was the fourth in the film career of the actress.
Besides this, Sati turned out to be an excellent TV presenter. Her first program came out under the name "Sati". Famous people from the world of art became guests, and the purpose of this talk show was to portray the hero from an unknown side.
Sati Spivakova, whose biography tells about her brilliant work on the country's leading TV channels, began filming her program right in her apartment. At first it was broadcast on the Kultura channel, then ORT allocated a studio to Sati and put the program on its air. According to the presenter herself, she was taken to television because of her husband's big name. Despite this, among the heroes of her show were Lyudmila Gurchenko, Tatyana Tarasova, Gennady Khazanov, John Galliano, Elton John and many others.
Sati Spivakova is very proud of yet another interview program. She appeared on the channel "Culture" under the name "Tuning Fork". Over 60 episodes were filmed. Even those who had never given an interview before (Grigory Sokolov, Evgeny Kissin, Jose Carreras) visited Sati. After many months of work, Spivakova realized that there would be nothing new in this program. It had to be shut down.
Her next work took place in a completely new format - musical. Also on the channel "Culture" there was a program "Non-boring classics" with Sati Spivakova. There, the presenter discussed topical issues with musicians, composers and performers of classical music. Moreover, conversations were often conducted in a non-professional language, so that a simple viewer who does not have a musical education would understand and be inspired by the topics raised.
In addition, Sati Spivakova is the author of the memoir "Not All", published in 2002. Judging by the name, the writer's gift of the TV presenter will still make itself felt.
Family
The biography of Sati Spivakova surprises with a long and indestructible marriage, lasting for more than thirtyyears. The more surprising is the story of their acquaintance and the development of relations. It should be noted that Vladimir Spivakov's marriage to Sati was not the first, and in age he is almost twenty years older than his current wife. Perhaps that is why, when he saw the girl for the first time, Vladimir realized that in front of him was his future wife, Sati Spivakova. Biography, personal life of Vladimir Spivakov at that time were already stormy, but for the sake of Sati, he gave up his title of Casanova.
Dating story
Sati and Vladimir met each other in absentia. She first saw him in Blue Light on television, where he performed as part of the Moscow Virtuosi. After some time, the team visited Armenia on tour, and since among the "virtuosos" there were many friends of Sati's father, the company gathered at Sahakyants' house.
Vladimir at that moment saw the girl of his dreams. True, not live, but in the photo. It was a small exhibition of pictures from the film "Anush", where Sati played a national heroine. Spivakov admits that looking at this girl with beautiful eyes and long braids, he felt that this was his future wife.
Sati Spivakova and Vladimir Spivakov met for the first time after the Virtuosi concert in Moscow. Everything happened behind the scenes, and this acquaintance was not romantic. Sati thanked for the wonderful concert, Vladimir gave her an autograph, and the administrators, the director, the make-up artist fussed around. They didn't get to talk much. However, Spivakov offered to meet after he returned from the tour.
Their second meetinghappened about a month later at a mutual friend's house. And there was no romance either. After tea drinking, Vladimir volunteered to give Sati a ride home, and they got lost. So half the night we drove by car, practically not saying a word. Getting out of the car, the girl asked to call her as soon as Vladimir got home. He did just that. That night they talked on the phone for almost five hours. They chatted about everything and nothing, read poems to each other, Spivakov talked a lot about himself.
The next day, he again went on tour for almost a month and swore he would call on April 18 when he returned home. Sati felt an irresistible attraction to this man, but did not want to make a mistake. Therefore, on the 18th, she waited as the day of judgment. If Spivakov had not called, the love story would not have happened. But late in the evening the phone rang. They agreed to meet the next day at the monument to Pushkin. Sati realized that Vladimir is the man with whom she will spend her whole life.
Wedding
For a long time, Vladimir Spivakov's entourage did not accept the girl into their society, they looked down on her and nodded condescendingly at the meeting. However, the Armenian girl won this confrontation and proved that she deserves to be the wife of this talented person. With a dignity that can be envied, she bore the name of Sati Spivakov. Biography, in which children occupy a dominant place, opened a new chapter.
For a year after they met, the lovers lived inVladimir's small apartment on Vernadsky Avenue. Sati waited a long time for a marriage proposal from Spivakov, but he was in no hurry. In the past, he had already burned himself on this, and his relatives did not immediately accept Sati into their house.
However, the engagement took place. This decision was made by Vladimir Spivakov due to the fact that the girl could leave for distribution to the Yerevan Theater. The wedding was extremely modest, without a crowd of guests. After registering at the registry office, the young people went to the park for a photo shoot, and then returned home, where a few relatives were waiting for them at the festive table. Sati's father could not come to his daughter's wedding, he had a tour in Germany. Actually, Vladimir Spivakov went to concerts a couple of days later, leaving his wife alone.
Children
Shortly after the wedding, a recent bride realized she was pregnant. Happiness knew no bounds, because she, Sati Spivakova, would soon become a mother. Biography, in which children are of great importance, has acquired new colors. In 1985, the couple had a daughter, Ekaterina.
A few years later, the family moves to France because of Spivakov's work. Since then, they have been living in two houses: one in Moscow, the other in Paris.

After almost six years they had a third child - daughter Anna.
In addition, the family brought up Vladimir's niece, the daughter of his deceased sister, Alexandra.
Sati Spivakova, whose children did not spend much time with their mother, admitsthat her husband and his opinion always came first. During their trips, Spivakova's mother remained with the children, who brought a lot to their upbringing. According to the TV presenter herself, this lifestyle taught her girls independence, they easily overcome life's difficulties.
Sati Spivakova, whose daughters are already adults, has always been a liberal mother. She never forbade anything to the children, believing that in this way they themselves would be able to find the right answer, the right solution. Even when the eldest daughter Katya changed her long beautiful hair to black dreadlocks, her mother reacted philosophically to this. And in fact, the girl soon realized that this style was not for her, and everything returned to its place.
