Vladimir Vysotsky had many passionate novels. He was loved by women, but the poet was officially married only three times. Many fans knew about the last marriage with Marina Vladi, but the details of the first and second marriage with Isolde Zhukova and Lyudmila Abramova, respectively, are known to few.

Of all the three wives, only Lyudmila gave birth to two sons to Vysotsky. How did it all begin?

Acquaintance of Lyudmila and Vladimir

Abramova and Vysotsky, the then unknown songwriter, met under strange circumstances in Leningrad. Not a single woman in her right mind seemed to stop near a dirty man in torn clothes and blood. But Luda, who was returning drunk from friends, stopped and was imbued with the man's problem.

It turned out that this man got very drunk in the restaurant, made a real brawl and he urgently needed money to pay off the director of the establishment. The man's passport was taken away, and he went to look for at least someone who would lend him money.

Lyudmila did not have the required amount. Then she simply removed an expensive ring with amethyst from her finger and gave it to an unknown man, who turned out to be Vysotsky. Vladimir pawned the decoration in the restaurant and was able to redeem his passport.

Marriage proposal: why Luda agreed

Apparently, the girl told how to find her, so that same night Vladimir knocked on her door. Vladimir returned her ring, which he had already managed to redeem. He called a new acquaintance to a restaurant for a meeting of geologists, but she did not agree and did not even begin to open the doors. Then the man just broke in, fell at Luda's feet with a bottle of champagne in his hands and called to get married.

The girl agreed, but this was due neither to a lack of male attention, nor to great love. Abramova was a real beauty, refined and tender, but a tragedy had already happened in her life because of unrequited love - the young man committed suicide because Lyudmila did not reciprocate. He indicated the name of Abramova in the suicide note, which is why she was later dragged through the investigation.

For the suicide of another person, Abramova invented a "punishment" for herself: she will marry the first person who offers her a hand and a heart. It turned out to be Vladimir Vysotsky.

Further life of the young

It cannot be said that she did not like Vladimir at all. He seemed to her like a nice and interesting young man, she just knew little about him. In particular, she did not know that Vysotsky was married: at that time he had not yet divorced Isolde Zhukova.

That evening, the future husband and wife still went to visit their geological friends. There Vladimir sang songs for his friends and the girl he liked, and she began to fall in love with him.

Then it turned out that both actors play in the same film "713th asks to land": Vysotsky distant the role of an American Marine, and Abramova - Eva Priestley.

When the couple returned from Leningrad to Moscow, they immediately settled in the Abramovs' house on Begovaya, and a little later moved to a 2-room apartment on the street. Television, which was received by Vladimir's mother. For a long time, the lovers lived in a civil marriage, since Vladimir could not get an official divorce in any way. Lyudmila and Vladimir got married only in the summer of 1965. By that time, the couple were already raising two sons: 3-year-old Arkady and one-year-old Nikita.

Divorce and oblivion

Lyudmila Abramova abandoned her acting career for her husband and children. She devoted herself entirely to her home, her beloved spouse and two heirs. The couple lived quietly and calmly until 1970, and then divorced just as quietly.

At the same time, the actress herself assures that she never regretted her relationship with Vladimir. She loved her husband and did everything to keep him a happy person.

Abramova was often told that her husband was cheating on her, but she did not believe. When she herself found out about the betrayal, she blamed herself for everything. According to Lyudmila, if not for her presence, Vladimir would simply live the way he likes and would not deceive anyone.

Abramova gained strength, packed her things, took the children and just left the apartment, quietly and calmly. She did not arrange scandals and tantrums, did not understand why her husband suddenly began to cheat. After the divorce, Lyudmila lived a very closed life, almost nothing is known about her.

Vladimir did not abandon his sons, visited them and the ex-wife, but Lyudmila herself did not follow his work. It was very difficult for her. Later, she married a simple mechanical engineer and in marriage gave birth to a daughter, Seraphim.

Vladimir Vysotsky died on July 25, 1980 at the 43rd year of his life. He was addicted to drugs and could not overcome his death addiction. According to preliminary data, Vysotsky died as a result of acute heart failure, but the autopsy was not performed at the behest of the poet's father.
