46 mass grave who died on May 18, 1896 (Khodynka)
During the burial of the body of the actor, the friends of the deceased severely insulted his widow Yulia Miloslavskaya.
The scandal happened at the Vagankovsky cemetery, where a place was set aside on the Central Alley for the burial of the body of Alexander Abdulov.
Yulia Miloslavskaya, the widow of the deceased, was trying to take matters into her own hands and was giving quite reasonable orders, when suddenly several men rudely rebuked her.
“It’s not for you to give orders here! Stay back and shut up!" - insulting words were heard from the lips of the closest, it seemed, friends of the family. But, as you know, not always the husband's friends automatically transfer their love to his chosen one. Moreover, many of his colleagues treated Alexander Gavrilovich's last marriage with more than restraint. Apparently, the accumulated hostility among some broke out at such a difficult moment for everyone, and, probably, especially for Yulia. She had in her arms a tiny daughter from Abdulov Zhenechka and an extremely difficult relationship with her husband's comrades and colleagues.
One way or another, but the widow had a terrible hysteria. They couldn't calm her down for a long time...
It was only by a lucky chance that no one was hurt during the civil memorial service at Lenkom. As already reported by "Your DAY", the crowd of thousands of fans of the actor was at some point divided and a huge number of citizens ended up on the street. As they did not promise people to be allowed to go to the theater later and say goodbye to Abdulov, none of this happened. Several thousand Muscovites and guests of the capital stood in the cold until at 14.45 the car with the coffin of the deceased left Lenkom.
Those who came to pay tribute to the talent of Alexander Gavrilovich directly at the cemetery witnessed the sensational confession of the head of Lenkom, Mark Zakharov, under whose leadership the deceased served art for decades:
I apologize to Sasha for being unreasonably strict with him! - Wiping away tears at the grave of Abdulov, said Mark Anatolyevich. - When he joined the troupe, I did not see talent in him. He was arrogant towards him, believing that he was just another handsome man who has texture and does not, and cannot have God's gift. I was wrong. Several years Sasha had a hard time. And this is entirely my fault. He suffered, and I know this for sure, only because of my blindness, callousness, unjustified severity. Forgive me, Sasha! Sorry…
Someone carefully placed a red and white scarf on the grave. To a devoted fan of Spartak from loyal fans of his acting talent ...
People can die in a crush
Tens of thousands of Muscovites who came to say goodbye to Alexander Abdulov staged a terrible stampede at the entrance to the Lenkom Theater
The endless stream of citizens who expressed a desire to say goodbye to the deceased, law enforcement officers (and according to some sources, these are FSO officers) were forced to stop at some point. The human sea was divided into two parts - some were able to enter the theater building, while others remained standing in the cold.
According to one of the participants in the cordon, "the leadership is afraid of the possible death of people if a crush forms inside the building at the exit and entrance."
However, people frozen in the street, many of whom flew in from different corners countries, undertook something similar to the storming of the theater.
I flew in specially to say goodbye to Alexander Gavrilovich from Siberia, - one of the indignant fans of the actor told "Your DAY". – I am not afraid of the cold, I am a Siberian. But what scares me is that we - ordinary Russians - have been divided into those who can say the last words at Abdulov's coffin, and those who can not be allowed into the theater.
In the meantime, the stars of our show business passed into the hall where the coffin with the body of the deceased was located.
Maybe my daughter and I don’t have such a luxurious bouquet as Pugacheva’s, - laments Nina Petrovna, a resident of St. Petersburg, who came to Moscow to say goodbye to Abdulov, - but we would also like to pay tribute to the memory and gratitude to Alexander Gavrilovich. However, we are standing in the cold, and Alla Borisovna entered, and no one pulled her up, they say, stand up, woman, at the tail of the line ...
Yesterday, the coffin with the body of Alexander Abdulov from the morgue of the Bakulev Cardiovascular Center came to pick up the wife of the actor Yulia Miloslavskaya and his friend actor Leonid Yarmolnik.
From the morgue of the clinic, the funeral procession headed to the Church of the Nativity Holy Mother of God in Putinki, which is located next to Lenkom.
Relatives wished to say goodbye to Alexander Gavrilovich in private. The artist's wife was the first to enter the church and stayed at the coffin of the deceased for several hours.
Abdulov's little daughter Zhenya, who is not even a year old, was also brought to say goodbye to dad. The baby was brought to the coffin, and she immediately pulled her hands to her father, not realizing that he would never hug his child again. The widow of the actor Julia, who was standing nearby, wept bitterly ...
In the evening, the artist's first wife, Irina Alferova, her daughter Ksenia and her husband, Alexander Gavrilovich's mother, Lyudmila Alexandrovna, came to say goodbye, who was led by the actor's elder brother Robert.
Before his death, Alexander Abdulov re-read his script for the film "Vykrest", which he was never destined to shoot.
On January 1, in the morning, Alexander Gavrilovich's wife came to visit, - one of the employees of the clinic, where he spent his last days artist. - He seemed to have changed and said that he was much better.
She asked close friends, who were to visit him in the evening, to bring him a film script, glasses and ... crackers.
He had such a habit, - the actor's colleagues on the stage recall, - Sashenka loved to gnaw a cracker! Sometimes without everything, and sometimes in tea he dipped it first. So, I felt a surge of strength. I was ready for mental work at that moment ...
Recall that it was on the set of the film “Vykrest” (based on the “Hyperboloid of Engineer Garin”) that Abdulov began to have serious health problems and he failed to finish the film.
