Maria Shukshina - biography
They say that on children talented people nature is resting. This certainly does not apply to Maria Shukshina: the daughter of actress Lidia Fedoseeva and actor, director, screenwriter Vasily Shukshin herself has built a successful career and personal life, and she has something to be proud of.
Famous surname
Maria was always considered her mother’s daughter: Vasily Shushkin was busy with creativity and disappeared on film sets, festivals, and wrote. Masha was one year old when the second daughter Olga, her father’s favorite, appeared in the family. This is probably why there was no warm relationship between the sisters either in childhood or when they grew up.
Masha was similar to Fedoseeva-Shukshina not only in appearance, but also in character: calm, reasonable, but at the same time tenacious. It was she who instilled in Maria the basic credo of life: men come and go, but you can only rely on your own strength. If you want to love someone, take care of your children.
In the future, Maria is on own experience make sure these words are correct. The mother taught her daughters that the acting profession was unreliable. Neither personal happiness nor creative success. Only a few succeed, and this does not depend on work or talent. If you're lucky, you'll marry a director, and he'll star you in his films. No - you will remain a third-rate actress, even a famous surname will not help.
Masha’s family generally taught her not to show off her last name: they say it’s indecent and even shameful. Therefore, after school, she thought about a practical profession in life and entered the faculty of translators at the Institute of Foreign Languages. In her fourth year, she met her, as it seemed then, fate. Tall, curly classmate Artem Tregubenko excited the heart of a young girl. And then everything happened at lightning speed: a modest student wedding, the birth of their daughter Anya and divorce.
I finished my studies, worked in my specialty for some time, and then came the turbulent 90s. To support myself and my daughter, I had to get a job as a broker at the Russian Commodity Exchange, and then as a secretary-translator. The place is not bad, but... “Not mine!” - Maria will say later. And then she started to feel depressed.
Maria Shukshina - films
All the main moments in life turned out to be a mistake - marriage, profession... But fate did not allow the future actress to become soggy. Maria herself didn’t even notice how she ended up on the set. This is how her filmography began. At first it’s small, but it includes some noticeable work!
This is “American Daughter” by Karen Shakhnazarov, and “What wonderful game"Pyotr Todorovsky, "The circus burned down and the clowns fled" by Vladimir Bortko.
1998 The affair with businessman Alexei Kasatkin is in full swing. He graduated from the same college as her and was even a witness at her wedding. Alexey looked after her beautifully: he gave expensive gifts, fur coats, and took her abroad. Masha suddenly thought: this is happiness! To the offer to live together, she answered “Yes!” A year later, the couple had a son, Makar, after which he and Alexei went to the registry office and signed, without any celebrations.
Maria Shukshina - television
She was not at all embarrassed that she became Kasatkin’s third wife. For two years Masha sat at home, taking care of her son. But this brought little joy: she was used to working and earning money, and the role of a housewife turned out to be thankless and boring. And then, as if by magic, offers started pouring in from different TV channels. I chose one thing - the TV program “Wait for Me”, and I was right.
"Wait for me" program. Millions of people drop everything and watch the program without interruption. Some out of curiosity, some with hope. And the presenter... Like no one else, she knows how to sympathize with the grief of others, especially when it comes to abandoned children. Her tears are sincere, because the fate of this woman cannot be called happy either.
In the blink of an eye, Maria became a popular favorite. Viewers appreciated her simplicity in communicating with the program participants, genuine empathy and sincere tears - so truly Shukshin... Maria herself admits that working on each episode is hard, almost backbreaking work. And not only physical, but also psychological. Don't let it pass through you life tragedies and drama is simply impossible.
A bottle of valerian, one hundred grams of cognac before filming, special psychological techniques the withdrawals she was taught did not help. And then she thought: maybe this is how it should be, you can’t pull away? But how many are broken human destinies Can a young woman, even if she is strong in spirit, let this pass through?..
Yes and her own life cannot be called ideal. The circumstances were such that Maria was forced to give Makar up to her mother-in-law: she herself was filming until late every day, Alexey had work in Spain. It soon became clear that caring for her grandson was a burden for her mother-in-law as well. One day, returning home late at night after the program, Maria realized: yes, she, in fact, did not have a family.
Rare meetings with your son, quarrels with your mother-in-law, scenes of jealousy and scandals on the phone with your forever absent husband - is this really family? Maria sharply turned the car around and headed towards her mother-in-law's house. She woke up Makar, collected his things and announced to her mother-in-law that she was taking her son on vacation to Bulgaria. Hide, fence, protect - such thoughts were spinning in her head when she was looking for a nanny and a rented dacha for Makar in the Vladimir region.
It seemed that everything had turned out as planned, but... One day, having arrived to see her son, Maria did not find him. Shukshina was shocked. It turned out that her ex-husband Alexey Kasatkin stole the child. I had to raise all the connections and disturb a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs so that the boy would return home in two weeks. But her ex-husband and mother-in-law continued to pursue her and threw mud at her in the press.
It got to the point that one day in the editorial office of the TV program “Wait for me,” phone call. An elderly woman complained that her grandson was stolen. She called her former daughter-in-law, the presenter of the program Maria Shukshina, a homewrecker.
Near distant happiness
Disappointed by the failures in her personal life, Maria decided to raise her children herself. Fortunately, her career was on the rise: she was the permanent presenter of “Wait for Me,” and starred in TV series where she played strong-willed, successful and wealthy women. And the fact that her children see their mother only on holidays did not bother her.
She herself was not spoiled parental love: Both father, mother, and stepfather always put work first. But, as always happens in life, once you give up something, it comes into your hands. One day, Maria and her mother went to the dacha to supervise the construction of a house. By coincidence, there was a lawyer on site at the time construction company, charming businessman Boris Vishnyakov.
Despite the fact that the lover’s income could not provide Maria with her usual existence, she accepted his advances. And then it turned out that she was pregnant. “I’m going to give birth!” - the actress decided. But she rejected the marriage proposal of Boris, who was stunned by the good news.
For a long time, Maria hid her father’s name from the press. When the twins Foka and Foma were born on January 3, 2005, Boris was given a condition: she was pursuing a career, but he had to choose - either business or children. The decision was not easy, but the man in love chose his family.
He took the one-and-a-half-year-old twins with him, and while Maria smiled at the children from the TV screen, for four years he turned into a housewife and nanny. Not surprisingly, his business soon fell apart. And then Maria appeared on his doorstep and took his sons away. "For what? Why?" - many were lost in conjecture.
Vishnyakov decided to defend his right to communicate with children in court. The father of the twins won the case. And along the way, he and his mother gladly gave interviews to the press, talking about how bitchy, selfish, greedy for money Maria Shukshina is, and what’s more, the worst mother in the world. The actress was silent and made no comments.
And only once did she explain her actions. She believes that a woman survives better in difficult situations, because she has a developed instinct for preserving her family. A woman in a critical situation when we're talking about about the need to feed children, I’m ready to start small and continue to grow. But a man will not agree to work, for example, as a cleaner.
He will wait until he is given some kind of leadership position, and during the waiting period he will lie on the couch. “Unfortunately, men quite often take this position,” admits Shukshina, “and I, frankly, don’t understand why they are waiting at a time when they need to act and achieve something in life.”
Maria Shukshina - The main thing is children
Now Maria often recalls the words of her mother. She herself says: “Children are everything to me. I live for them, take care of myself, work, develop, so that they won’t be ashamed of me.”

Maria Shukshina is a Russian film actress and TV presenter. The actress’s popularity was brought to her by the international program “Wait for Me” on Channel One, broadcast in the format of a talk show combined with a search service for missing people.
Maria Shukshina was born in May 1967 into a family famous people. Mom Lidiya Fedoseeva-Shukshina was already a recognizable actress. Father Vasily Shukshin is a nationally famous writer, actor and director. In addition to Maria, two more daughters were growing up in the family. Anastasia Voronina, older by 7 years, mother’s mother, and 2 years younger Native sister Olga.
Maria Shukshina, as they say, was doomed to become an artist. She appeared on screen when she was barely a year old. She appeared in the anthology "Strange People", which was directed by her father. Viewers saw little Masha with her mother in the short story “Brother.” After 3 years, both daughters of Vasily Shukshin starred in his film “Stoves and Benches”. At the age of 6, Maria Shukshina again appeared on the screen, this time in the full-length film “Birds over the City” by Sergei Nikonenko.
Thus, creative biography Maria Shukshina began almost in preschool age. But her mother, who knew the underbelly of the world of cinema well, warned her daughter that not all actresses, even talented ones, have a happy fate. Therefore, after graduating from school, Masha decided to acquire a profession that would give her a stable job and a means of living. She entered one of the capital's foreign language institutes.
After receiving a university diploma, she worked as a translator for several years. Disillusioned with work, I tried myself in the brokerage profession. But even these duties were not in my heart. Parental genes demanded a return to cinema.
Movies
In the mid-90s, Maria Shukshina starred in several sensational films. In Karen Shakhnazarov’s film “American Daughter,” the actress played a practical and unsentimental businesswoman who ran away from her husband with her little daughter to America.
The role of Shukshina in the melodrama of another famous director– Pyotr Todorovsky was somewhat similar. In the melodrama “What a Wonderful Game,” Maria played a beautiful student who, without a shadow of a doubt, handed over her classmates to state security agencies.
A successful start in cinema was followed by a 2-year break. Maria Shukshina went on maternity leave.
In the 2000s, a new return to the world of cinema followed. First, the artist appeared in a small role in the comedy film “The Perfect Couple.” But soon followed the main role in the series “People and Shadows. Secrets puppet theater" The heroine of Maria Shukshina is not like her. This is passionate femme fatale, some energetic vampire. With her performance, the actress demonstrated that she is quite capable of playing different roles and easily transforming herself into characters that are alien to her.
Since the mid-2000s, Maria Shukshina appears on screen regularly. The only thing in which her on-screen heroines are similar is their strong, strong-willed character. This role went to the actress in the melodrama “Dear Masha Berezina.” Her Katya makes her way through difficult times modeling business without stooping to dirty games and intrigues. And in the series “Brezhnev” Masha reincarnated as nurse Nina Korovyakova, for whom Leonid Ilyich had romantic feelings.
The range of roles played by Maria Vasilyevna Shukshina is very wide. She is organic in the image of a businesswoman, circus performer and even a homeless woman. The actress is tall for a woman (180 cm), so she also looks good on screen in the role of strong, fighting women.
The actress often plays women with difficult fates. Such are her Maria Karetnikova in the film “Take Me with You” and Alexandra in the melodrama “I Love You.” A psychologically complex and multifaceted image was given to Maria Shukshina in the dramatic film “Terrorist Ivanova,” released in 2009.
Of Maria Shukshina’s latest projects, the most striking ones include the films “Mannequin”, “The Outgoing Nature” and “A Strange One”. Viewers first watched these films in 2014 and 2015. At the same time, the premiere screening of the detective series “A Stranger’s Own” was held as an online release, then the series was shown in Latvia, on the First Baltic Channel, and only then on Rossiya-1.
In this crime series, Maria Shukshina performed main role Police Lieutenant Colonel Alexandra Marinets. The actress's heroine is appointed head of the St. Petersburg police department, for which the investigator is transferred to a new location from Moscow. The department is excited by this news - an outsider from another city will take such an important post.
The second wave of indignation begins when the police meet the new boss in person, because Alexandra Anatolyevna’s last name does not reveal the gender of the owner. Now the heroine faces hostility both because she is a woman and because she is an outsider, but the first solved cases show that the candidate is ideal for this job.
TV projects
After maternity leave, Maria Shukshina wondered what she should do next. It was a difficult time, the end of the 90s. The cinematography was not in the best condition. The offer to become a TV presenter was unexpected. Interestingly, it came from several channels at once. The actress successfully auditioned for the new talk show “Two”. But then another proposal was received, which seemed closer to Maria Shukshina. She was offered to host the program “Looking for You.” The goal of the project is to search for people, dramatic destinies. Soon the program changed its name to “Wait for me.”
As Maria Shukshina admitted, working on this project turned out to be very difficult. But the result obtained, hundreds happy people who found their relatives and friends, completely paid off all the difficulties. Maria Shukshina was the host of the program from October 1999 to December 2014.
Personal life
A strong and strong-willed woman is rarely happy in her personal life. In any case, Maria Shukshina’s personal life was not easy. For the first time she married classmate Artem Tregubenko. But after the birth of their daughter Anna, a crack appeared in the relationship. After several years life together the couple broke up.
The artist’s second husband turned out to be Artem’s former wedding witness and friend, Alexey Kasatkin. They met 10 years later. At that time, Maria Shukshina was already divorced from her first husband. Alexey had common-law wife, from which he immediately left when he realized that he had lost his head over the beautiful actress.
Married to Kasatkin, they had a son, Makar. Unfortunately, the couple also divorced soon after. After their divorce, the press savored scandalous story about the abduction of his son by a father. Makar was 2 years old at that time. After Shukshina contacted law enforcement agencies the boy was returned to his mother.
Maria Shukshina's third marriage was civil. Probably a woman family life which didn’t work out twice, who experienced the abduction of a child very painfully, did not want to step on the same rake. Therefore, she flatly refused to register her relationship with lawyer Boris Vishnyakov. The couple gave birth to charming twins Foma and Foka in 2005. But 4 years after their birth, Maria Shukshina left her husband, taking the children. Soon a scandal broke out in the press, similar to the one that happened with the actress’s eldest son. But this time, their father announced the abduction of the children.
It is known that now ex-spouses found mutual language and the father participates in raising his sons. But the couple was never able to live together.
In November 2014, Maria Shukshina became a grandmother. Her daughter Anna gave birth to her grandson.
In 2017, a scandal erupted around another grandson of the actress. Ex-daughter-in-law Maria Shukshina Freya stated in the program “Live” that her pregnant woman was kicked out into the street. The girl met with Shukshina’s son from her second marriage, Makar Kasatkin. Makar himself disappeared during this period. Some TV viewers came to the defense of the pregnant Freya, others are sure that the girl deceived Makar. For now, the question of recognizing the grandson remains open.
Maria Shukshina now
Today, the actress continues to regularly act in films. Fans are surprised to note that the artist’s appearance has not changed in 10 years. Shukshina emphasizes that she has a negative attitude towards plastic surgery for actresses, and calls caring for appearance a professional necessity.
In 2016, Maria Shukshina joined the crew of the crime series “Such Work.”
For the first time, the heroine of the actress, TV journalist Yana Kovaleva, appeared in the 82nd episode of the series entitled “ Necessary measure"and since then appeared in the story after one or two episodes. A number of sites about cinema indicate the heroine of Maria Shukshina among the main ones.
In 2017, Maria Shukshina played the main role in the family saga “Silver Forest”. The actress played the role of Tatyana Mikhailovna Arkhipova, editor literary newspaper and the wife of a general of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and a teacher High school police.
The melodrama takes place in the 70s and 80s, and the family of the main characters is considered elite. The well-being of the family is jeopardized by external, social and political factors: Brezhnev dies, the Shchelokov case becomes a precedent, attempts begin to investigate corruption cases among high-ranking officials.
In January 2018, Maria Shukshina will again return to her role as a TV presenter. In January 2018, a new TV show will be aired under the working title “Recipes for Happiness” on Channel One, which will be hosted by Shukshina. The actress personally shared this news with fans on her own Instagram.

The actress will appear in the two-part melodrama “Love Japanese Style,” in which she will play a woman, Lilya, who is going through a family crisis. Together with her husband, the heroine celebrates her silver wedding, but at the celebration the couple realize that they have already become strangers.
The daughter of the famous couple from the cinematic environment, Vasily Shukshin and Lydia Fedoseeva-Shukshina, Masha could not choose a path other than acting. But, realizing how unpredictable he could be, the girl first tried to get an education that was far from acting. After school, Maria entered the translation department of the Mores Thorez Institute of Foreign Languages, became a translator and worked in her profession for several years. But the proximity of the bohemian environment and the opportunity to engage in acting still forced her to deviate from her intended path. In the 90s, Maria was invited to the cinema, where she remained. But he never ceases to be passionate about learning languages. The actress’s arsenal today includes English, German, French and Italian.
Wedding story
In films and TV series, Maria Vasilievna plays a variety of roles. In her interviews, talking about the heroines, she admitted more than once: the most interesting thing is to play a type that is completely dissimilar in spirit. It’s great when you need to not only differ in appearance from Masha Shukshina, but also change your plasticity, facial expressions, and get used to the role completely, so that it is impossible to recognize her by the manner of her acting.
But in her personal life, Masha doesn’t like to play. She said that she loves her - that means it is so. She said that she’s had enough of marriages—she won’t get married.
Maria's first serious love happened back in student years. Masha married a classmate Artema Tregubenko. Neither the actress nor her ex-husband talk about that marriage. Only one interesting fact is known: Maria’s future, second husband was a witness at that wedding. They say that already then Alexey Kasatkin was passionately in love with the future star. The bride danced all evening with the witness, and not with the groom.
From her first marriage, Masha will have a charming daughter, Anechka, but after a few years the couple will divorce. Intelligent Artem never admits what happened in their family then?
"I loved her very much"
Almost ten years later, Masha gets married for the second time. A non-random meeting took place in 1995, at a dinosaur exhibition. Alexey later admits that it was enough to meet his former classmate’s eyes for the gears of his internal clock to force him to turn back time. I remembered the sweet student days, and for the young people everything started spinning on its own.
At that exhibition, Alexey was with his second wife, but soon he was forced to admit to her that he had fallen in love with someone else. Masha and I only went to a restaurant a couple of times, and then moved in together. For a year and a half, Kasatkin showered his beloved with diamonds, gave her fur coats, and took her to resorts. They were happy and in love. From such a union, Maria’s second son, Makar, was born. They signed without a grand celebration on the same day when they prepared the documents for the newborn Makarka. Grandma Lida was with the baby at this time. Alexey still admits ex-wife in love.
A child was kidnapped
In total, the newlyweds were married for about four years. This couple suffered many mutual grievances, many serious scandals. The parents of Shukshina’s second husband are still offended by her, allegedly because she deprived them of the opportunity to communicate with their grandson. And Alexei idolizes Mashu, tells how they loved each other and does not even rule out the possibility that something similar could happen again.
According to the husband’s relatives, the discord in the lovers’ relationship began because of Machine’s jealousy. She constantly accused her husband of cheating, and her mother-in-law was sure: her daughter-in-law was causing scandals and provoking a divorce on purpose. Because I found someone richer. But an incident that Shukshina cannot forget to this day became fatal in the relationship of the already divorced spouses.
Living with a movie star is difficult, and when Kasatkin got married, he had to understand that Maria would not be able to pay much attention to her family. And so it happened. A month and a half after the birth of the baby, Masha had to fly to another country. She left Makar with a nanny in the Vladimir region, in a house on a lake. Having learned about this, Shukshina’s mother-in-law immediately rushed to “save” the child and took him with her. The worried nanny called Maria Vasilyevna, and she realized: the baby had been kidnapped!
They took Makar away with the police. The horror that Shukshina had to endure, who was in another country and simply did not have the opportunity to understand the situation and influence it, will remain in the mother’s heart forever and will affect her future fate.
There will be no third marriage!
In the mid-2000s, a lawyer began to court Maria Boris Vishnyakov. The man sincerely fell in love with the beauty, asked her to marry, tried to please, but Maria, taught by two unsuccessful relationships, protested. Even when she realized she was pregnant, she refused another stamp in her passport.
Meanwhile, fate brought good news: Shukshina and Vishnyakov were born with twins! The names for the boys - Foka and Foma - were suggested by the Shukshins' confessor. The twins were supposed to take their father's surname, but Lydia Fedoseeva-Shukshina intervened in the registration and insisted that the grandchildren should bear the famous surname of their grandfather.
But the lovers’ quarrels began even before pregnancy. Masha, according to Boris, always remained cool towards him, behaved arrogantly and dryly. She didn’t believe that he truly loved her, she demanded that she fulfill the promises that the lover Vishnyakov gave her while he was courting her. Namely, to throw the whole world at her feet, to make sure that she does not need anything.
But when the boys were just born, their father’s business began to nosedive. He fell apart and could not get himself together. Instead of supporting mother of many children Masha, unable to withstand the numerous scandals of the exhausted Shukshina, he left for the Belarusian wilderness. For a whole month Masha didn’t know what to think.
Eternal swing
Then she will make a statement that she is used to relying on herself in everything, that she does not tolerate weak people around, and that she is ready to raise the kids alone. Nevertheless, Boris, having recovered from his failures, returned. He took care of the boys, spent all his money on them, so much so that there was nothing left for anything else. Once he admitted to Masha that he couldn’t even pay the nanny, after which the long-disappointed Shukshina forbade him to communicate with the children.
After a while, Boris finally found the strength to pull himself together, began to lead a long-term project, and made peace with Masha. His sons moved to live with him, and he did not give up trying to return, albeit difficult, but beloved woman.
But as time passed, they quarreled again. The children moved to the Shukshins. Then - a new truce...
Their relationship is still like a swing. Boris can only guess whether he loves or doesn’t love, whether he will forgive or not. They recently went through a legal battle with child custody. And in latest news they talk about how great Shukshina and Vishnyakov spent a week in sunny Turkey...
Maria Vasilievna Shukshina is a hereditary actress. She got her talent from famous parents, father of Vasily Shukshin, cult director and mother famous actress Lydia Fedoseeva-Shukshina. The girl’s acting career was generally successful from the first years of her life.
First steps in life and cinema

When the girl was one and a half years old, her father cast her in his own work - the film novel "Brother", which was included in the anthology "Strange People". Then, with a break of several years, there were shootings in the films “Bees-Shops” and “Birds Over the City”.

Maria's parents raised her strictly. The girl did not bathe in luxury and was not spoiled with gifts, although her famous father and mother had such an opportunity. Subsequently, Shukshina will raise her children according to the same principle.

Return to cinema - the call of the ancestors

Maria Shukshina always had a certain love for the acting profession, but her mother, Lidiya Fedoseeva-Shukshina, always dissuaded her daughter from this, noting that even talent may not help without an influential director who would take the aspiring actress under his protection. Perhaps it was for this reason that Masha chose a completely different profession, which had nothing to do with theater and cinema. However, the ways of the Lord are mysterious, and fate decreed otherwise. Subsequently, Maria began acting with famous directors and quickly abandoned the specialty she received at the institute, devoting her life to television.
Institute of Foreign Languages named after Maurice Thorez - fate or coincidence?
After graduating from school, she entered the Institute of Foreign Languages named after Maurice Thorez. This is precisely the choice she made for herself in order to protect herself from failure in the profession, considering translators to be in demand, and work in her specialty to be quite prestigious. A smart and cheerful guy from Moscow, Artem Tregubenko, entered the same institute, and the same faculty. He ended up in the same group with the daughter of famous Soviet actors. brought together young people who were completely different in everything. At first, Shukshina and Tregubenko found themselves in a common company, and only after some time did the young people pay attention to each other. According to the recollections of the couple’s close friends, and the young lovers themselves, the institute years were incredibly fun and positive. Frequent gatherings with a guitar, wine and jokes that never stopped for a second made the atmosphere lively and unforgettable. There was a lightness then, which is sometimes greatly lacking with age.
Shukshina’s first husband: reliable biography facts
But to continue the story about lovers, it is worth saying a few words about young man. Artem Tregubenko, as mentioned above, - a regular guy from Moscow, who by lucky chance managed to meet a famous girl.

There is very little information, but still something is known about Tregubenko. He was born on November 14, 1966 in the capital. He grew up like many Soviet children, but with early age got carried away foreign languages and had a passion for studying them. That's why choosing him future profession was obvious.

So, when Artem Tregubenko turned his attention to the modest and timid girl Masha, the young people were already in their 3rd year at the institute. Their romance was swift, and by the middle of the next course the couple got married. The celebration was purely student-style: cheerful, reckless and long-lasting. The first day of the wedding ended well after midnight, or to be more precise, at 5 o'clock in the morning. At first, family life brought young people exclusively positive emotions, but then everything turned sour, although the couple had no reason for disagreement. Shukshina’s husband Artem Tregubenko supported his wife in every possible way and, according to the assurances of the couple’s friends, even overprotected her.
Family life is a fiasco
After graduating from the institute and both spouses receiving diplomas, Maria Shukshina became pregnant, and a daughter, Anna, was born into the family of young people in 1989. However, this happy event did not bring the couple closer, but, on the contrary, separated them. A series of omissions and misunderstandings led to the family breaking up. For a long period by that time, Maria Shukshina’s ex-husband Artem Tregubenko was excommunicated from her. However, later the woman softened and, in her own words, allowed the girl to meet with her father. In one of her interviews, Shukshina shared that she is now in excellent relations with her first husband, and he constantly communicates with her daughter Anna.
An ordinary person out of a billion like him, but with a sense of tact and dignity
After breaking up with a famous girl, Artem Tregubenko’s personal life remained sealed. Shukshina refuses to comment not only on the reason for the breakup, but also to tell anything about her ex-husband. They say that Tregubenko himself was always tactful and well-mannered, so he, like Maria, never commented on what was happening, and then completely disappeared from the press. On its pages in in social networks there is not a single photo of him and his daughter together, so it remains big mystery whether he communicates with Anna. A reliable fact that marks the biography of Artem Tregubenko is that, as before, he works in his specialty, travels a lot around the world, but has never acquired a wife or children.
Anna - daughter of Tregubenko and Shukshina
The daughter of Tregubenko and Shukshina decided to continue the family tradition and followed in the footsteps of her grandfather Vasily, enrolling in directing. Anna, like her mother, got married early. Moreover, in some ways she even repeated her fate: the girl’s chosen one was her peer, whom she met in the company of close friends at a student party. Konstantin immediately managed to win Anna over and already in 2013 the young people got married. Their celebration was quite modest, only close relatives and friends of the newlyweds were present. However, according to the press, the girl’s father was not at the wedding.

IN the winter vacation the newlyweds visited Punkaharja in Finland, where in the wilderness, away from prying eyes, Lydia Fedoseeva-Shukshina has property (a small apartment). In 2014, Anna gave birth to a son, who was named Vyacheslav.
