How children of star parents live: the house of Stepan Mikhalkov. Visiting Nikita Mikhalkov: the director’s dacha in Nikolina Gora is stunning in its luxury. Many people dream of such mansions! Favorite place to relax: a bathhouse with a sauna
Zhukovka, Barvikha, Usovo... In this series, Nikolina Gora is a special article. The main oasis of the celestial inhabitants of the Moscow region, in ancient times called RANIS, which translates very simply - “workers of science and art.”They are still there today - academicians Sergei Kapitsa and Sergei Vorobyov, artists Vasily Livanov and Nikolai Slichenko, musicians Yuri Bashmet and Alexander Lipnitsky... True, in last years new masters of life appeared on Nikolina Gora. “Well, I’ll just save them from them, no, they’re buying up forests and building their own palaces with turrets,” complains one of the Mountain’s natives, pianist Nikolai Petrov. “I just don’t go beyond the boundaries of my property, I spend all my time here - this is both my home and my dacha.” But once upon a time...
Nikologorsk residents gathered for musical evenings that took place at the dacha of Svyatoslav Richter (here the great musician died in the summer of 1997), to watch the once outlandish video that Nikolai Petrov brought from foreign voyages. One of the main cultural places of Nikolina Gora was the house-teremok of Natalya Konchalovskaya, granddaughter of Surikov and wife of Sergei Mikhalkov (now Andrei Konchalovsky lives in this house). Today, a mansion with columns - the house of Nikita Mikhalkov, built only a few years ago - claims the central place. But Vladimir Putin, Jack Nicholson, and Peta Wilson have already been here. Here after Easter service there is also a noisy breaking of the fast.
By the way, the church in the name of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker was restored not so long ago - in 1990, through the efforts of the local community (mainly the same Nikita Sergeevich) and the rector, Archpriest Alexy Gostev. Not only Nikologorsk residents come to the once traveling church of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, in which he stopped for prayer while going on pilgrimage to the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, but also believers from Moscow. Last year on Easter they prayed in the temple by the light of the Fire Holy Saturday, brought by Mikhalkov from Jerusalem.
The gastronomic center of Nikolina Gora is a restaurant without a name (but with surprisingly low prices) on a football and volleyball court. Once upon a time, noisy matches of local teams were held here, and poetry was read from the stage. Now this rarely happens - the lifestyle has changed, and they mostly gather at each other's houses. Thus, the invariable Christmas celebration takes place at Stepan Mikhalkov’s dacha in neighboring Maslova (or in Maslovka, as the natives lovingly call the neighboring village). They also like to receive guests at one of the most old-fashioned dachas of Nikolina Gora - near Kachalov, where today the granddaughter of the great Moscow Art Theater master, actress Maria Lyubimova, lives with her family. This is one of the few houses in an ancient resort near Moscow where you can fully experience the spirit of the former Nikolina Gora. Portraits and little things are lovely witnesses of antiquity. But another descendant of the great Moscow Art Theater student, Vasily Livanov, built it on the old dacha new house- it became a bit crowded...
There are also abandoned houses on Nikolina. Thus, Sergei Prokofiev’s dacha has been empty for a long time - the composer’s son went into exile. And the huge mansion, which rumor ascribes to Tatyana Dyachenko, has never been settled in and looks somehow threatening. The brick palace, supposedly built for Minister Pugo, who tragically ended his life, is empty and lonely. Remember this one?.. Rumor has it that they will soon demolish (and build a new one) the very bridge from which Boris Yeltsin supposedly tumbled into the Moscow River in the morning. The old one, you know, has become a bridge, just like a memorial one.
The Nikologorsk residents created their village, guided by the ancient motto “My home is my fortress,” and carefully protected protected area, preferring to return from Moscow not to Moscow apartments, but to dachas near Moscow. And therefore now, when on " small homeland"new vandals are encroaching - they are less and less inclined to talk about their region, and on their faces you can increasingly see a trace of sadness.
“No “capee-esos” touched us, they lived in their “enviable” and “slides”, but these!!!” - pianist Petrov is again indignant, having built a house, like almost all Nikologorsk residents, with his own hands (including a house for guests, which is not uncommon for Nikolai Arnoldovich and his neighbors to this day). Only these are increasingly not “new Russians”, but those who feel at home even when visiting Nikolina Gora. For now...
Once upon a time, Nikolina Gora was not considered a prestigious place. There was an ordinary village here - Nikolskoye on Pesku. The river crossing is by pontoon; in winter we walked on ice. But since the 20s of the last century, a holiday village appeared on this territory. In which in different time lived such representatives of the cultural elite as Veresaev, Novikov-Priboy, Prokofiev, Richter, Khrennikov, Kapitsa, Schmidt... And since 1949, the MIKHALKOV clan, over whose nest our unique “aerial” paparazzi Boris KUDRYAVOV flew in a helicopter.
Sergei Mikhalkov rarely comes to Nikolina Gora - after all, he is old. But his son Nikita has been living in this picturesque place for 50 years, visiting Moscow only on business, and remembers how wonderfully he spent time here with his grandfather.
He was a real landowner in the true Russian meaning of the word, he said famous director in one of the interviews.

He didn’t accept electricity, in the evenings he lit a kerosene lamp, sat me next to him and played Mozart, Bach, sang arias from famous operas or read entire pages of Pushkin by heart...
True, nothing remains of the old building. About ten years ago it was broken down, and in its place Nikita Sergeevich erected a more modern building. “In my opinion, the house successfully combines elements of new and old,” he says. - Many parts of the house are made of walnut, because a wooden house creates a cozy atmosphere. For example, my kitchen is made in a post-war style, although the materials used are modern. The kitchen is connected to a fireplace room, and on the ground floor there is a sauna with a steam room and a plunge pool. The second floor is exclusively sleeping. Bedchambers small size, but there are several of them. And there are six toilets for the whole house.
"Walker" Konchalovsky
On the Mikhalkovs' hectare-sized plot there are two more houses that belong to Andrei Konchalovsky, Nikita's brother. Andrei Sergeevich has too many relatives...
The exterior was left untouched, although everything inside was redone. He moved the partitions, the staircase, covered everything with “antique” wood, built a bar counter in the kitchen... But after divorcing his next wife, he built a new building. All that was left of the old one was the Dutch stove with tiles. Few people have heard that on the land of the Mikhalkovs there is a grave of a soldier who died in the Great Patriotic War. Patriotic War. Locals they don’t know under what circumstances she appeared here. It is only known that the inscription on the tombstone reads: “Lieutenant Alexey Surmenev. Died on December 5, 1941." Every year on May 9, veterans living nearby lay flowers at the grave. Someone, perhaps with the help of the Mikhalkovs, found the hero’s relatives. They came to worship the ashes of the hero from Siberia. In general, the attitude towards the Mikhalkovs on Nikolina Gora is contradictory. On the one hand, they remember here that Andrei and Nikita, as teenagers, together with their peers, built a monument to fallen soldiers on the territory of the village.

Alexander Tsekalo suffers from gigantomania, and Vladimir Solovyov is surrounded by many enemies
When building a dream house, the owner tries to realize all his ideas in it and make it as comfortable as possible for himself and his family. Our stars are no exception. Sometimes the dachas of celebrities are distinguished by their wildest fantasies. With the help of the famous private realtor Maxim CHEPURA, we compiled a rating of celebrity mansions, calculating approximately how much the artists would earn if they put their buildings up for sale right now. And psychologist Natalya VARSKAYA tried to characterize the personalities of their owners using the facades of houses. For the purity of the experiment, we did not tell our experts who exactly owned which house.
Maksim Galkin
Realtor: I recognize Galkin’s “chambers”, spread out over a hectare of land. True, it is not clear why Maxim needed such a castle, but even if he ever decides to sell it, he will not be able to find a buyer. If only not his devoted billionaire admirer. Such a house will always be associated with the first owner. In the future, such a building can only be repurposed into a hotel or holiday home. According to the most conservative estimates, the interior decoration and decoration of a house can cost three times more than the object itself.
Psychologist: Everything is simple to the point of banality: the owner loves to impress people and be the center of attention. He enjoys great authority in certain circles. And Vladimir Solovyov is surrounded by many enemies
Yuri Bashmet
Psychologist: The owner of this house probably had a poor childhood. Pronounced ambition and desire to manage. Doesn't like to let strangers into his life. Maybe he even has some kind of Bluebeard secret.
Realtor: It will be almost impossible to sell such a huge territory. Most likely, the owner will not do this - the house will be inherited. The big minus is that the mansion is located next to the highway. The noise from cars makes life unbearable for household members.
Andrey Konchalovsky
Psychologist: A person lives here who is distrustful and not very positive. For him, the main thing is that those around him listen and obey. He can be cruel at times. This may be due to the fact that he believes that goals are more important than people.
Nikita Mikhalkov
Psychologist: Master at heart. It can be different, but more often - a kind person with an open heart. We are vulnerable, but easy-going, although we never forgive major insults.
Realtor: The place is legendary and prestigious, and the prices here are among the highest. One hundred square meters here costs about $110 thousand. Such estates are similar to real family estates, which, in fact, have no price. On the one hand, it is strange and unusual for modern man that on the vast territory (about a hectare) there are almost no additional buildings. On the other hand, I know from experience that it is precisely this kind of space and silence that every city resident dreams of.
Yuri Antonov
Psychologist: There is definitely greed in the owner. A man of the “kurkul” type, as people say.
Realtor: This three-story mansion looks like a real Russian noble estate and a Soviet Palace of Culture at the same time. Apparently intended for big family. Cozy and tasteful. A house like this, put up for sale, will go down the drain.
Joseph Kobzon
Psychologist: Either the ancestors of the owner of this house knew what a good life, or a person has dreamed of being like such people since childhood.
Realtor: The estate consists of several houses, all of them made of high quality building materials. The interior decoration is also probably not cheap, so the cost of finishing can be as much as the mansion itself with a plot in addition.
Alla Pugacheva
Psychologist: It seems that the house was built as a mini-hotel. Either the owner planned to rent out the premises, or he likes to invite family and friends. But he certainly doesn’t lack an entrepreneurial streak.
Realtor: A big plus is that the house is located away from others. In addition, there is a forest all around, and a pond nearby automatically equates this place to a dream cottage. The mansion was built using high-quality building materials in a classic style. This one will last for 100 years and will always be valuable. In my understanding, this is exactly what a country house should be like: quiet, green, fresh and no one around.
Valentin Yudashkin
Psychologist: For the person who built such a house, punctuality is most important. He got used to a certain routine. Likes to manage people and processes.
Realtor: Minskoe Highway occupies third position in the list of priority destinations near Moscow, and Bakovka is one of the most expensive places. But today buying real estate here is unfashionable and unprofitable. Difficult transport accessibility and overly inflated prices can scare away buyers. The mansion is very archaic. You can look for buyers for this for a long time.
Alexander Tsekalo
Psychologist: Strange house. You don't need to be a psychologist to understand: his owner is trying to realize all his hidden fantasies in him. Gigantomania is clearly visible here. Perhaps the reason is some serious complex. And, most likely, coming from childhood.
Realtor: If we take into account the cost including finishing, the price can reach more than half a billion rubles. Now the house is under construction, and it is difficult to imagine what else the owner will think of to build on the site. A house made in high-tech style will certainly be the most noticeable in the village. An unusual facade, exclusive design, elite building materials - selling the property will be problematic.
Alexander Malinin
Psychologist: This person can be different: for some he is gentle and faithful, for others he is cruel and narcissistic. His goal in life is the desire to embrace the immensity.
Realtor: A very nice house both in terms of architectural design and color scheme, which is important. All existing buildings are made with extreme care and in the same style, successfully harmonizing. Made with taste and love. An ideal home for a happy large family.
Masha Rasputina
Psychologist: From his youth, a person tries to prove to others that he is no worse than others, and sometimes even much better. Childish and slightly unsure of himself.
Realtor: The house is fabulous, even like a toy. It’s immediately obvious: the owner is a woman; a man, I think, would not allow himself such an abundance of pink shades. Successful landscape design. But the project is too individual and therefore not attractive for sale.
Ivan Urgant
Psychologist: Perceives only himself and his point of view. Clearly egocentric. He strives by any means to occupy people's attention with himself.
Realtor: An extremely unusual shape of the mansion. Against the backdrop of classic dachas it looks like something cosmic. There are too many outbuildings: one gets the impression that what is in front of one’s eyes is a factory, not a home for a family. The owner is clearly building to last! Subsequently, such a domina will be of interest to few buyers.
Tigran Keosayan and Alena Khmelnitskaya
Psychologist: A supporter of everything Western. He wants to be valued not in the narrow context of his family, but far beyond its borders.
Alexander Lazarev
Psychologist: It seems to me that he is a very open and sociable person. There are no people who wouldn't like him. Honest, trusting, prone to compassion.
Realtor: Both houses look very modern - classic and Mediterranean style. But they require cosmetic repairs. This may reduce the price somewhat, but not significantly. Moreover, I am sure that the new owners will not rush into restructuring.
Vladimir Pozner
Psychologist: Definitely very creative person. The traditions of his ancestors are overly important to him.
Realtor: The house was built a long time ago and without any frills. The latter is a big plus when selling. But, even despite the proximity of the airport, this place is considered elite, which is why the dachas here are not cheap.
Alexander Gradsky
Psychologist: The owner of the house is a pedant and values stability. He is surrounded by many people, he is constantly in contact with someone. But he often gets tired of communication, so he often needs personal space, to which outsiders are not allowed to enter.
Realtor: This is one of the oldest summer cottages, houses here have always been valued. The proximity of the airport does not bother buyers. Even during the “hot” season, several super-expensive mansions are sold here. The house with columns and spacious balconies was built in a classical style, I would even say in the Soviet style. In my opinion, such an object may be of interest to older people; young people today prefer something more whimsical.
Leonid Yarmolnik
Psychologist: The owner is a great visionary, a dreamer and the owner of an artistic gift. As a child, I probably loved fairy tales, adventure stories and mischief.
Realtor: Simplicity and nothing superfluous. The pool on site is always popular. But there is a feeling that the house was built quite a long time ago, and it is clear that it needs repairs. You can't sell it for too much! A good option for those who want to buy a dacha in a prestigious location for a reasonable price. I'm just afraid that the repairs might cost more.
Mikhail Shats and Tatyana Lazareva
Psychologist: It is felt that the owner has experienced little real happiness and joy in life. Often feels misunderstanding. He treats his own appearance without fanaticism.
Realtor: A classic country house, nothing remarkable or interesting. He has no personality. There are a lot of them on the market. The picture is spoiled by a dubious wooden shed in the corner and a dump of building materials. If I were the owners, I would at least paint the house some fun colors. It wouldn't hurt for him to make a mess. Boring option.
Vladimir Soloviev
Psychologist: A nervous person, sometimes it comes to the point of bile. Has many enemies. Maybe that's where the irritation comes from. Open only with those closest to you.
Realtor: Two pretty good houses - a three-story mansion and a house with a veranda. A very modest plot of land by today's standards. In my opinion, there is not enough space for a large family or friendly gatherings.
Alexander Domogarov
Psychologist: There is clearly an inquisitive and sociable person living here. I would say that the owner of this house has an easy, flexible character. A huge number of ideas swarm in his head, but not global ones.
Realtor: In this elite village closed type there are about
20 housing developments located in forest area. The home in the photo looks quite simple, but thanks to the rather large area land plot and a convenient location to communications, it looks quite cozy. The territory is spacious, there are no unnecessary objects or pretentious buildings. As they say, everything you need for quiet happiness. I think the house would attract many buyers.
Today, most country houses near Moscow are built in the classical style. The average area of land is 10 - 12 acres, and the average area of cottages is from 500 to two thousand square meters. meters. But there are also objects of six to eight thousand square meters. meters. The average price level for such mansions in elite locations is $8 million. For comparison: a similar building in Marbella (Spain) will cost a maximum of 1.5 million euros.
By the way
The mansion of Briton Stuart Hughes in Switzerland is considered the most expensive house in the world. The cost of an object with an area of 725 sq. m is estimated at 7.5 billion euros. 200 tons of gold and platinum were used during construction.

Nikita Mikhalkov is a People's Artist, actor, director, producer and screenwriter. In recent years, he has been actively involved in entrepreneurship.
Born in October 1945 in Moscow in the family of a popular writer and famous writer. Studied for three years at music school at the conservatory and during the same period attended the studio named after. Stanislavsky.
Began studying at the school named after. Shchukin, but in his fourth year he was expelled for participating in filming, after which he entered the second year of VGIK, majoring in film director, successfully completed training in 1971, and a year later volunteered to serve in the navy.
His debut as an actor occurred at the age of fourteen. But his directorial debut was the film “A Friend Among Strangers, a Stranger Among Our Own,” filmed in 1974. After which, every year until 1984, new films by the eminent director were released on screens, many of which received awards and received public recognition.
In the early 80s he created the TriTe association. In 1993 he was elected chairman of the Cultural Foundation. In 1998, he took the post of chairman of the Union of Cinematographers.
Personal life
The filmmaker's ancestors were artists, poets and writers. Older brother Andrey and nephew Yegor also chose the profession of film director.
He first married Anastasia Vertinskaya in 1966, and his son Stepan was born in the same year, but five years later the couple separated.
Two years after the divorce, he married Tatyana Mikhalkova for the second time. From this union, a daughter, Anna, was born in 1974, a year later a son, Artem, and in 1986, a second daughter, Nadezhda. Nikita Sergeevich has nine grandchildren.
Nikita Mikhalkov's apartment
The director's apartment is located in one of historical places Patriarch's Ponds, in a house on Maly Kozikhinsky Lane, 4. The house was built in 1904. Previously it housed the Ladies' Trust for the Poor, and now the Moscow Kinospektakl theater.
The city apartment has not had a major renovation for many years, but according to the owner, the interior still looks fresh and modern. Mikhalkov is a greater supporter and open spaces, so the living room is spacious, without unnecessary furniture. The only antiques here are a table and armchairs from the 16th century, brought from China.
One of the key ideas was to install an antique fireplace in the apartment. Unfortunately, the house plans did not provide for such construction, so the owners had to build an additional air duct and go through many authorities to legitimize the installation.
Nearby, in the residential complex “At the Patriarchs”, there is Mikhalkov’s studio “TRITE”. The seven-story complex appeared on the site of old historical buildings that were demolished under the TRITE project, which caused a scandal in the press in 2010.
According to CIAN, apartments on Maly Kozikhinsky Lane cost from 37 to 300 million rubles.
House of Nikita and Tatyana Mikhalkov
The house on Nikolina Gora is a favorite place people's artist, he lives here all his life and after work he always strives to return from the city. Previously, there was an old building on this site, which over time became completely dilapidated and the owner had to completely rebuild it.
During construction, with the help of modern materials, he tried to revive the interiors of his childhood, so the kitchen is made in the style of post-war times, and the overall style is determined by the 70s. There is no single interior in the house; each room is individual.
The facade is made of brick and stone using marble, but the interior is completely decorated with wood. The living room with a white fireplace has a design with a second light that is popular today. There are many icons hanging on the walls, and next to the fireplace there is a snow-white grand piano.
Kitchen made of wood valuable species, is connected to the dining area, which has a long oval-shaped table and antique cupboards.
From the front door you enter the office and winter garden. There is also a staircase from which you can go to a balcony decorated with animal skins.
The mansion is located on a vast area of several hectares. Not far from the main mansion there are guest buildings, and Andrei Konchalovsky's cottage was built on the neighboring plot.
According to CIAN, houses in the village of Nikolina Gora cost from 40 to 990 million rubles, depending on location and size.
The restaurateur and his wife Elizaveta invited the magazine “Hello!” to their country house and talked about the expanding Mikhalkov clan, changing priorities and raising children.
According to Stepan, his perception of children and family has changed greatly with age:
“I remember with a shudder the day when I turned 50. Everyone called and shouted into the phone: “You have fifty dollars!” Dad was especially happy - they say, now you will know what it’s like. Despite the fact that he is not much older than me - only 20 years. My mother was just as happy when my daughter Sasha had a son. She teased: “Grandfather, grandfather!” Mom forbids calling her grandmother, so when I became a grandfather, she happily took revenge. Father also doesn’t like being called grandfather, by the way, so everyone calls him Nikiton.”
“Now I no longer perceive a child as the meaning of life. More like a part of it. The meaning of life for me is different: to understand and get to know myself - primarily through relationships with the people around me, with children. I have four of them, three from my first marriage. And with the birth of each, something changed in me. When my daughter appeared, I was not ready for children at all - it was good news, but it did not mean that I was going to educate myself and change my life for a child. Thank God, despite all this, Sasha grew up normal person, I am pleased and proud of her. Now I would devote more time and attention to relationships than then. At that age there were other goals: success, material well-being, self-realization. And this seemed more important than children. I don’t think so now.”
- his daughter Alexandra gave birth to her first child from the actor:
“Sasha and her son come to us regularly. And it turns out funny: as soon as our daughter crosses the threshold, we take Fedya away from her and go play with him, while she studies with Luka (younger son Stepan - approx. ed.). There is such an exchange of children. The kids are also starting to communicate and play together, fortunately the age difference is small.”.
Stepan also shared a story about his grandfather, a writer: “The Mikhalkov-Konchalovsky-Vertinsky clan is growing, it’s hard to even count how many grandchildren and children they have. And we also have a story about this. When my daughter Sasha was born, I came to my father to make him happy. He, happy, called his father Sergei Mikhalkov: “Dad, your great-granddaughter was born!” Sergei Vladimirovich clarified: “In what sense?” “Well, which one? - Nikita Sergeevich was surprised. - Styopa had a daughter, he just came from the maternity hospital. She is my granddaughter and your great-granddaughter.” The deathly silence lasted about a minute, and then the grandfather asked: “Well, what’s the news anyway?”
