The famous songwriter Vyacheslav Malezhik has a strong big family, grown-up children and grandchildren. The main merit of the inviolability of the union, which is more than 40 years old, belongs to his wife Tatyana Alekseevna. The wife of Vyacheslav Malezhik was a talented actress, but one day she decided to quit her career for the sake of her family. After 43 years of marriage, the couple got married.
Railway College Musician
The career and family life of Vyacheslav Efimovich Malezhik developed successfully thanks to his reverent and faithful love for music. Now he is an Honored Artist of Russia, a popular performer of lyric songs, a wonderful poet and a talented prose writer. A whole glorious era of vocal and instrumental ensembles is associated with the name of Malezhik, which laid the foundation for the modern national stage.
A talented Moscow boy, whose parents were from simple peasant families, first learned to play the button accordion at a music school. He began to play music and give chamber concerts at family celebrations and in the village with relatives near the city of Tula. Later, Vyacheslav became interested in playing the guitar and bardic song, which began to develop not without the influence of the then extremely popular Vladimir Vladimirovich Vysotsky.
Vyacheslav Malezhik is one of those people who blazed his own way. He was not from a family of musicians who helped him with his career. Mom taught mathematics. Father spent whole days turning the steering wheel of a car to earn a living, and forced his son to study diligently, threatening that one day he would smash his guitar with an ax due to absenteeism from the railway college.
Actress from Donetsk
Malezhik's hobby grew into a profession. Four friends-musicians, among whom was Vyacheslav, being impressed by the songs of the Beatles, in 1967 organized the group "Guys". Later, vocalist and guitarist Malezhik began to work in VIA "Mosaica" and "Merry Guys".
Once, while on tour in Donetsk, he met two pretty girls from a local amateur theater troupe. One of them was called Tatiana. Vyacheslav at first met not with her, but with her friend. Later, when the girls came to conquer the capital, Malezhik saw Tanya again and never parted with her.
After several months of the romance, the young people registered a marriage and settled together in the house of Efim Ivanovich Malezhik, Vyacheslav's father. According to the couple's acquaintances, not everything was always smooth in their family life: both the head of the family, Efim Ivanovich, and the young actress Tatyana had a character.
However, the couple coped with the problems, built their own nest. According to Vyacheslav Malezhik himself, a faithful and caring wife was able to survive many black streaks in his life, she was there both in grief and in joy.
Big family
The husband of the beautiful actress did not insist that she give up her career for him and the children, so at first Tatiana tried to combine home and work: she ran to rehearsals and productions, despite low wages.
Vyacheslav Efimovich became a popular and sought-after artist, his songs were simple and understandable to people, therefore they enjoyed the well-deserved love of the audience. The family had a material prosperity, which also served as the reason for the adoption of the final choice of Tatyana Alekseevna: career, go family.
The actress quit her profession, devoting herself to her husband and children. The wife of Vyacheslav Malezhik patiently waited for her husband to go home, created comfort, did not arrange scenes of jealousy when he disappeared on tour.
Tatyana Alekseevna raised two wonderful sons, Nikita and Ivan. The first graduated from the Faculty of Economics, the second entered VGIK and became a musician, continuing the family dynasty. Tatyana and Vyacheslav Malezhik have already managed to nurse their granddaughters Elizaveta and Ekaterina, who were born in the family of their eldest son in 2003 and 2009, respectively.
And in sorrow and in joy
Despite his venerable age, today Vyacheslav Efimovich Malezhik is still on stage. Intense concert activity, regardless of health, and the stress experienced could serve as one of the reasons for the stroke that the songwriter experienced in 2016 while on vacation in Montenegro.
Thanks to the tireless care of Tatyana Alekseevna, the musician managed not only to overcome many of the consequences of the blow, but also to return to the stage. Vyacheslav Efimovich had to learn everything anew: walk, sing, play music. It seemed to the singer's fans that they would not see Malezhik on stage anymore.
However, a week after the stroke, Tatyana Malezhik brought her husband a guitar straight to the hospital, and he could play it with his left hand. He worked on his right hand for a long time, and a few months later he appeared in front of the audience in the wood grouse's Nest bar-club on Tsvetnoy Boulevard, played and sang.
His voice was still weak, but his friends supported him, and the audience applauded. Tatyana Alekseevna Malezhik was present in the hall and was always ready to stop her husband and help him if he suddenly became ill.
Vyacheslav Malezhik's wife was always visibly or invisibly present next to her husband. According to her husband and family acquaintances, she is modest and does not like to be the center of attention. So, when the musician celebrated her 70th birthday in the Kremlin in 2017, she did not want to go on stage to him and perform in front of an audience of thousands.
Having risen after a stroke, Vyacheslav Malezhik decided to marry his faithful wife, which he did in the summer of 2018. He even wrote beautiful new poems and dedicated them to his only wife. They contain the following words: "It was worth getting sick to find out how much I love you." When asked by journalists about the wedding of spouses in old age, he admitted that, having sensed the spirit of death, he was afraid that the souls of loved ones would not meet when they left this world. According to the spouses, the church sacrament could not change the already stable marriage in any way, it only became a pleasant family event.
