Therefore, the death of a star came as a shock to her fans.

The biography of Vera Glagoleva is worthy of writing the script of the same fairy tale, in which, after betrayal and troubles, a handsome prince suddenly appears and disperses the clouds over the heads of the heroine and her daughters. And then they live happily ever after.

Tale of her life
All fairy tales usually end with the words "And they lived happily ever after." How is it? Nobody tells. According to the life of Vera Glagoleva, you can write a script for the continuation of the fairy tale. Everything will be in this scenario - a lucky break, handsome princes, betrayal and love.
Vera Glagoleva calmly admits that her life is the embodiment of the dreams of many women. What lies at the basis of her success - a series of happy accidents or a great internal, imperceptible to outsiders, constant work on herself, on her life?
As a child, Vera was more like a tomboy in character. She played football, and not just played, but stood at the gate! Seriously engaged in archery, even was a master of sports, played for the youth team of Moscow. Little skinny girl with big eyes dreamed of devoting her life to sports. When she was offered to act in films, she agreed rather out of interest.
Vera Glagoleva agreed to go with her girlfriend to the “closed viewing”, which took place at Mosfilm, because there was practically no other option to watch foreign films at that time. It is unlikely that she suspected that it was fate that was leading her to the cause of her whole life, to her happiness and unhappiness, to the entire subsequent string of coincidences and patterns.
The first love
Rodion Nakhapetov, already a well-known director at that time, simply could not take his eyes off Vera. Perhaps, inviting her to audition, he already somehow understood that this girl would play one of the most important roles in his own life- his role future wife and the mother of his children. After all, he was much older and more experienced than Vera.
They got married when a little more than a year from that first meeting. Vera literally prayed for her husband, an adult, experienced, handsome. They had two daughters - Anya and Masha. Rodion adored his daughters, he tried to spend as much time with them as possible.
Trouble
Vera Glagoleva and Rodion Nakhapetov lived together for almost 12 years. About two years before the divorce, Rodion had a dream - to go to America and work in Hollywood. But he did not share his plans with his beloved wife. When Nakhapetov first went to America to show his film there, he stayed in Hollywood for only two months.
For some time he returned to Russia, but after that he left for good. When once again Vera came to Rodion in America, he admitted that he had another woman. For Glagoleva, it was like a stab in the back.
But Vera had the wisdom not to interfere in these complex relationships of her girls. They still have a very good relationship with their father. Now, having become quite adult women, they remember this difficult period with gratitude to their mother.
Need to live!
The actress was left alone, on her fragile shoulders was the fate of two daughters. And the dashing 90s were in the yard. As Vera Vitalievna Glagoleva now admits, only work saved her. It was then that the film "Broken Light" appeared. Despite the fact that Vera starred in this film as an actress, it was her first directorial work.
Thanks to her mother, Galina Naumovna, who looked after the girls, the newly-minted director Glagoleva Vera Vitalievna could almost completely devote herself to work, not suspecting that fate was again preparing a gift for her. In 1990, she went to the legendary Odessa Film Festival with her first film in the hope of finding a sponsor for the film to be released. At one of the meetings, she was introduced to a successful young businessman, Kirill Shubsky. Their cooperation in the field of cinema gradually grew into something more.
Second chance
Cyril by age for eight years younger actress. He managed to make friends first with Anya, the eldest daughter of Vera, and then with Masha. Becoming the head of such big family, Shubsky took responsibility for his beloved woman and her daughters. A little later, their joint daughter Nastenka was born.
Today, Vera notes with a little surprise that 25 years have passed since they became husband and wife. The youngest daughter of Vera Glagoleva has been living independently since the age of 15.
Nastya is engaged to the famous hockey player Alexander Ovechkin.
The house on Nikolina Gora, where this friendly family lives, is full of warmth and fun, especially when everyone gets together. Calm happiness is so beneficially reflected in the appearance of Vera Vitalievna that no one believes that this year she turned 60 years old. The actress and director does not hide her age, and all the gossip about what she allegedly did plastic surgery, does not even consider it necessary to comment.
Vera does not really like to gather noisy companies; she tries to go to all cinematic parties with her friend Larisa Guzeeva. Vera Glagoleva does not make a secret from her personal life, and she talks a lot about her children Anya, Masha and Anastasia, and shows her grandchildren in all programs. Kirill Shubsky, Vera's husband, takes his wife's fame calmly, speaking of her with tenderness and love.
Unfortunately, the parents of the actress have already passed away. But my mother, Galina Naumovna, managed to take care of her great-grandchildren. Vera's daughters, who practically grew up in their grandmother's arms, remember her very warmly.
Brother Boris Glagolev lives in Germany, despite his technical education, he is now editing documentaries. In childhood, they were very friends, Boris cut his sister's hair, sewed outfits for her. Now they mostly communicate via Skype.
The story of Vera Glagoleva is very similar to the story of Cinderella, who nevertheless found her real prince and lives happily ever after with him.
Prolonged illness.

Vera Glagoleva with her daughter Anna
Glagoleva, who had no acting education, played in almost 50 films. Among the most famous are such films as "Sincerely Yours ..." (1985), "Descended from Heaven" (1986), "Poor Sasha" (1997), the television series "Maroseyka, 12" (2000).
In May 2017, rumors appeared about Glagoleva's serious illness, but the actress herself denied this information and said that she went to the clinic "to restore strength" after heavy filming.
Some friends of Vera Glagoleva believe that her serious health problems provoked the betrayal of her beloved men.
The news of the death of the actress shocked not only her fans, but even people from inner circle. As it turned out, Glagoleva struggled with stomach cancer for a long time. Vera Vitalievna flew off for a consultation to one of the clinics in Germany, in which, by the way, her brother Boris lives, and a few hours after visiting the hospital she died.
Upon learning of the death of Glagoleva, her colleague Elena Valyushkina, the star of "Formula of Love" and "Bitter!", Wrote on her Instagram page: " When a woman is betrayed, and not once, but twice - by her beloved men, but she gets up and continues to live, create, raise children, not show her appearance, win, delight, make a movie. And this vile pain gnaws from the inside, tears, does not let you sleep, does not go away with time. This is how cancer starts. These are my thoughts…»
According to friends, Glagoleva did not like to share her problems with others and tried to hide them even from her relatives. Only from her first love, which revealed in 16-year-old Vera the opportunity to admire her beloved with all her heart, the actress had a feeling of incredible purity, romantic flair and slight naivety .
« My first love is a very talented person, a musician- shared Vera Glagoleva. - I thought then that it was a feeling of something else, a feeling of joy when you walk by the hand».
By that time, in front of Vera and her older brother Boris, the family of their parents had broken up. summer holidays Verochka and Borya went with their father Vitaly Pavlovich on a kayaking trip. A colleague of the pope with her child also sailed with them.
Returning to Moscow, the children told their mother that during the trip, dad paid too much attention to someone else's aunt and constantly fiddled with her offspring. Scandal erupted. Vitaly Pavlovich packed his things and left the house. Soon he left for the North, where he married again.
Glagoleva met her first husband, Rodion Nakhapetov, when she was 18 years old and he was 30. Together with a friend working at Mosfilm, Vera, who was then fond of archery and became a master of sports, came to watch the film. In the buffet, a girl in trendy trumpet pants flared from the hip was noticed by operator Vladimir Klimov. It was he who invited her to audition for the tape "To the End of the World ...", which was filmed by Rodion.
« The romance of Nakhapetov and Vera began before my eyes, - said the actor Vadim Mikheenko, who played one of the roles in the tape, the father of Yegor Beroev. - Rodion insisted that we be attentive to each other, because we had to play love, vivid emotions. Once she broke into my hotel room, although I did not let her in because I was spending time with a prostitute. Seeing this disgrace, she began to treat Nakhapetov differently - he never allowed such liberties».
According to Mikheenko, it was impossible to take your eyes off Glagoleva at that time.
« Rodion was terribly jealous of her for me- continues Vadim. - Once an American friend of mine came to Moscow, and in the evening we gathered in a cafe with guys and girls. There was also Vera. But soon Nakhapetov flew in and took his beloved away. I understand him: when you work with a person, you are engaged in creativity, you cannot be distracted by some other things, you cannot cross the line. I was calm about this, and Rodion was anxious. This trepidation I learned from him».
The couple had two daughters - Anya and Masha. The presence of children did not interfere at all successful career spouses. Vera also starred with her husband (they have five joint films), and accepted invitations from other directors.
In 1987, Nakhapetov finished work on the film "At the end of the night", in which, alas, there was no place for his wife. It was this picture, bought for display in the United States, that destroyed their marriage. Nakhapetov decided that he had a chance to gain a foothold in America, and without thinking twice flew overseas. Secretly from the family, who were patiently waiting for his return to his homeland, he had an affair with a US citizen, film producer Natalia Shlyapnikoff, who was born into a family of Russian emigrants. Having broken with Vera, he married Natasha.
« Life is complicated, - Nakhapetov commented on this situation. - I am sure that Vera would have taken place in life without me. To some extent, I helped her at the beginning of her career, they paid attention to her, and then her talent and charisma played. Then she herself became a director ... When our girls were little, they often talked with Glagoleva, and then they didn’t have common questions, their daughters no longer needed guardianship. Although my relationship with them has never been interrupted, they often visit my home in America. By the way, I raised the daughter of my wife Natasha from the age of five and also consider it my own.».
Rodion Nakhapetov with his wife Natasha, daughters Anna and Maria and Nastya Shubskaya In 1991, 35-year-old Glagoleva met 27-year-old businessman Kirill Shubsky. It happened in Odessa during the Golden Duke festival. Fascinated by the gallantry of the young millionaire, Vera, without thinking twice, invited him to invest in domestic cinema. Cyril refused, but did not stop courting the actress, and later they got married. The family had a daughter, Nastya, who recently married hockey player Alexander Ovechkin.
« When our father Rodion Nakhapetov left my mother, it was insanely hard for her, because she loved him very much, - recalled eldest daughter actress Anna. - Later I was very happy that my mother had new man. Kirill treated my sister Masha and me like our own daughters. When Nastya appeared with them, he did not distinguish between us, many men do not treat their own children the way he treats us. She and her mother got married in the church, and Masha and I carried crowns, which they then put on their heads. Everything was beautiful».
Ironically, both Vera's husbands were born on the same day - January 21st. That's just Rodion Nakhapetov suits Kirill Shubsky as a father. The first husband of the actress is exactly 20 years older than the second. Alas, just as in alliance with Nakhapetov, during her marriage to Shubsky, Vera Glagoleva had to endure the vile betrayal of her beloved.
When they and Glagoleva's daughter were not even four years old, Cyril, as part of the delegation of the National Olympic Committee, where he was a member, flew on a business trip to Lausanne. In Switzerland, TV presenter Yulia Bordovskikh introduced the millionaire to her friend, gymnast Svetlana Khorkina.
« Kirill turned out to be not only a pleasant companion, but also a gallant gentleman: as soon as we were at the lake, he threw his light cashmere coat over my chilled shoulders., - Khorkina described this moment in her memoirs.
According to the gymnast, her new acquaintance immediately decided to give her mobile phone. To hear her voice at the first desire. " Crazy gift for those times!- said the gymnast. - We often called each other, at every opportunity he flew to Moscow to support me at the championships and Cups of Russia, he was in the support group at the European Championships in St. Petersburg and Moscow, and then in Sydney. He was always there, both in the most difficult and in the happiest moments of my sports life.».
A few years later, Khorkina realized that she was pregnant from a married boyfriend. True, Shubsky was not at all happy about this news. At his insistence, the athlete gave birth in Los Angeles under a false name.
« The person from whom I was expecting a child hid me from everyone. He did not want to advertise our relationship, so he tried not to show me to any of his compatriots, Khorkina recalled. And she clarified that after the birth of their son Svyatoslav in July 2005, an end was put in their relationship.
The millionaire officially recognized the child only a few years later, when peace and harmony returned to his marriage with Glagoleva, who managed to forgive her husband for a long trip to the side.
« Wisdom in relationships only comes with age.- sighed Vera Vitalievna. - I was able to leave behind all the bad things between us».
AT last years Glagoleva was engaged in raising her grandchildren and went to work with her head.
« I just don't believe in Verochka's death, - actor Valery Garkalin barely holds back tears. - So smart, gentle, talented. I didn't know about her terrible disease... When my beloved wife Katya was alive, we were friends with families - she and Kirill and I and Ekaterina. And then my wife passed away and I had two heart attacks. I stopped communicating with many, but I constantly kept in touch with Verochka, at least by phone. I was glad for her that she became a director, she shot real psychological pictures, each of which became a discovery for me. Her life was in full swing…»
« Verochka is a real filmmaker, our comrade-in-arms,- confirms the words of Garkalin operator Alexander Nosovsky, who worked for her last movie"Clay Pit" - She was maximalist both in details and in general. I didn’t know that Veruni had such a serious illness, now I’m just in shock. She called me four days before her death. We discussed what was left to finish in our film. We planned to work at the end of September in Kazakhstan. I don't know what will happen to the painting now. Vera was really looking forward to these species shots. She wanted the tape to be visually beautiful. She herself remained a beauty to the last, she looked good. I don't believe she doesn't exist. I do not believe…»
