Biography of Nazarov in

Death in poverty and loneliness The history of the circus is full of rise and falls, both in the literal and metaphorical sense. The Stars of the Manege, the Publishers of the public can turn out to be all forgotten and abandoned. They lose their health, and sometimes life, setting more and more spectacular numbers. But at the zenith of glory, probably there are no people happier than them.

We tell the story of Margarita Nazarova, a brilliant trainer of the tigers. In the sixties, she confidently ahead of popularity in her native union Marilyn Monroe, and died alone and poverty. Photo from the OctoberCinema website. Mom worked as a teacher, her father was a forester. There is even a bike that once he brought the daughter of an orphaned teddy bear, and he lived in the family for a while-they say, and the ranger vein arose in the girl.

During the war, his father went to the front and disappeared there - he went missing, and Rita and her mother went to the aunt in Pavlovsk. And during the rapid evacuation, when the Germans advanced on Leningrad, Rita was alone on the street in the neighboring village - she fell into German captivity. She was sent by a train to Hamburg, and there is a beautiful sixteen -year -old girl - a stately, blond, blue -eyed, almost perfect Aryan appearance, turned out to be the most suitable candidate so that she was sent to a very rich house, where the hosts for the time being treated well to her well.

Margarita Nazarova in his youth. And only when Soviet troops entered the city and broke into that very cabaret, the girl was released. By the fall of the year, Margarita Nazarova, having passed all the impaired millstones and is she not a spy? And not the enemy of the people?

And in order to earn a living, she got a job in the Riga circus - her skills of acrobatics and choreography were developed in Hamburg. Dogs, horses, motorcycles ... Tigers! Margarita tried different circus genres. Gradually began to introduce dogs and horses into her acrobatic program. Then she decided to become a circus motorcycle carrier, but as a result she became a trainer. It all started on the set of the film “Dangerous Trails”, for which Mosfilm bought four tigers of three Ussuri in the taiga, and the Bengal Tiger Pursh, the future large friend of Margarita, sold the Riga Zoo.

The trainer on the set was a very famous Boris Eder at that time, and his interns, Konstantin Konstantinovsky, later he will become the husband of Margarita. Lydia Yurina, who played the main character, flatly refused to approach the tigers, and a understudy was required. So Margarita Nazarova first ended up in the frame. He professed the photo from the MIR website, as we would say now, the zoopsychological approach, individual work with each beast.

He made friends of a girl with a blizzard, but it was a formidable beast, who first attacked Margarita, but then calmed down. In the first years, Margarita did not work alone with tigers - next to her there was always a faithful colleague and a loved one, Konstantin Konstantinovsky. Together with her husband, they put circus numbers with predators, and Glory to Nazarova as a real tag of tigers thundered not only throughout the USSR, but also in the countries of the social camp.

But in the film “Timing Tigers”, where she was the understudy of Lyudmila Kasatkina and after which she became famous throughout the country, she had to enter the cage to predators alone.

Her name was to be removed further, but she chose the circus.

The price of glory and the costs of the profession every trainer working with predators will say: this is not for the faint of heart and not for nonsense. This is a very dangerous work that requires a huge concentration of attention. Remember how Sergey Nesterov told us about his scars and the need to constantly be on the alert with his white tigers?

But even if all precautions are observed, even if the animal does not want to harm its trainer, excesses are - by pure chance. Nazarova had a trick in the room, in which the Tigress Rada jumps from the cabinet right above the trainer's head. Once, while working out the trick, a huge cat, starting from the cabinet, pushed her back on her hind legs. The flight trajectory has changed, and the beast accidentally touched the trainer's head.

Tigress is nonsense-think, by chance "struck". And Margarita received a large scalped wound - the skin was cut off from her head with her hair. The trainer was treated for a long time.

As very well sharpened, rather long daggers moving on a powerful muscular drive. If Margarita had not dodged, it would not be known what would happen. But she managed. The result was a rupture of the temporal artery, after which it was again treated for a long time. But Tigrov did not abandon, continued to work. At 52, the husband of Margarita Nazarova, Konstantin Konstantinovsky passed away.According to one version, this happened after the next injury caused by tigers: the animal greatly scratched his head, suppuration began, and a few days later the actor died of inflammation of the brain tissue.

Margarita was left alone, and this broke her. The star of the Soviet circus ... And the psychiatrist on duty next to the Manege after the death of her husband Nazarov was treated under the supervision of psychiatrists: her mobile, artistic psyche ceased to be flexible at one moment and broke. Too much stress was in her work, her own body was too worn and injured, too many shocks in life.

After all, popular glory and recognition are also a shock, albeit with a plus sign. Margarita Nazarova could not cope. Margarita Nazarova with Konstantin Konstantinovsky during a rehearsal.

However, she worked brilliantly - as on autopilot.

But outside the arena, as colleagues recall, she did not behave very adequately. And the misfortunes continued to pour out like from a cornucopia. Once in Kazan, according to the recollections of the trainer, an accident occurred: it jammed the winch, which lifted Margarita in the company of Leo and the Tiger to a serious height. And while the techniques conjured over the cables, and the trainer reassured the animals, the tiger decided to jump into the arena from a great height.

After that, as Nazarova herself said, she again went to the hospital. Photo from the site www. A meager pension was enough for bread. I managed to pamper myself with chocolate once a month. When the journalists came to her, she didn’t let them on the threshold, saying that she couldn’t even drink tea - the kettle fell apart, but she never accumulated a new one. When information about the deplorable position of the former star reached the authorities, she was allocated an additional cash allowance for the personal order of Boris Yeltsin!

She was offered to live in the hotel of the Nizhny Novgorod circus, where there were good conditions and could provide care. She refused both money and help. They and Konstantinovsky son Alyosha remained in France at the end of X - he also became a trainer. A lot of questions arise to him - how did he manage to leave his mother in such trouble? In an interview, he said that his mother would not recognize him and refuses to communicate with him.

True, it is interesting that he called his daughter Margarita. The granddaughter of the Tiger Taming also works in the circus, however, with cats.

Each family has secrets, but reality is as follows: Nazarova died at the age of 78 in her apartment full of loneliness.

The neighbors scored only three days later - the police opened the door, and the Nizhny Novgorod city hall buried the star.
