Biography, life story of Maya Carmen (Aksyonova)

Maya Afanasyevna Karmen (Aksenova) is the second and last wife of the writer.

Childhood and youth

Maya was born in Moscow on June 5, 1930 in the family of Afanasy Andreevich Zmeul, a Soviet historian and hero of the civil war. After school, Maya entered the All-Union Academy of Foreign Trade (at that time it was headed by her father), after which she began working at the Chamber of Commerce.

Maya Zmeul was a typical representative of the “golden youth”. Thanks to her father's money and connections, she got everything she wanted. After the death of her mother, her stepmother came to her house, with whom she developed a warm relationship.

Husbands

In 1951, Maya married Maurice Ovchinnikov, a foreign trade worker. In 1954, the couple had a daughter, Elena. Alas, the relationship between Maya and Maurice did not work out. After several years of marriage, they decided to file for divorce.

Maya's second husband was director Roman Carmen. With him, Maya lived in grand style - a luxurious apartment, a dacha near Moscow, regular trips abroad, cars with personal drivers at any time of the day, an elite social circle. And all this against the backdrop of sincere and incredibly strong love for each other. It would seem that the union of Maya and Roman is indestructible. But in 1970 everything changed. The Carmen couple went to Yalta (Roman needed to recover his health after a heart attack), where Maya met. This meeting changed her whole life.

Maya and fell in love at first sight. At that time they were both married. Secret dates began, kisses were stolen... But, as you know, sooner or later everything secret becomes clear. Despite the fact that Maya’s affair became public knowledge, the lovers did not take any action. Maya could not leave her husband, and did not dare to persuade her against her will. In 1978, when Roman Carmen died, Maya had no choice but to try to start a family with. Soon he divorced his then-wife Kira. In 1980, Maya got married.

Immediately after the wedding, the Aksenov family, including Elena, Maya’s daughter from her first marriage, and her son Ivan, went to Paris. From there the family moved to America, planning to stay there for a couple of years. But due to the unexpected deprivation of citizenship, they had to stay in a foreign land for 24 years. In the USA, Maya Aksenova taught Russian to university students.

A series of tragedies

In 1999, a terrible grief occurred in the Aksenov family. Maya Aksenova’s grandson Ivan died tragically. A 26-year-old boy accidentally fell out of a window. The misfortunes did not end there. In 2004, the couple returned to their Moscow apartment, and in 2008 they suffered a stroke.

He carried his love to his wife for 30 years. Their love aroused admiration and envy. Vasily Aksenov dedicated his famous novel “The Burn” to Maya. On August 20 he would have turned 80 years old.

In the bohemian environment of the 70s, to the famous documentary filmmaker Roman Carmen washed the bones. Like, he married a young woman. His chosen one, Maya, was old enough to be his daughter - 24 years younger. Beautiful, spectacular blonde. The husband was completely immersed in working on films, but she was not bored. Very soon she became one of the Moscow elite and did not refuse invitations to parties.

Vasily Aksenov , then one of the young and talented, had heard a lot about Maya even before meeting her. And one day, finding himself with Roman Carmen in the same compartment of a train that was traveling to St. Petersburg, he asked the master: “Is it true that you have a pretty wife?” The director responded with restraint: “I like it.”

Vasily was married at that time. He met Kira on the Karelian Isthmus near St. Petersburg. The writer worked there after graduating from medical school. His friend asked him to dance. Persuading, he said that he had seen a charming girl there. Kira, a student at the Moscow Institute of Foreign Languages, was visiting her grandmother. She sang various foreign songs very well, which is what attracted Vasily. And a year and a half later he moved to Moscow following his beloved.

“Kira married a poor doctor,” the writer recalled.

They lived in a tiny room; their house had one toilet for 50 apartments. But despite everyday difficulties, they lived in perfect harmony. Son Alyosha was born. Soon Aksenov’s novel “Colleagues” was published. Fame came. And along with it, problems in family life.

Aksenov became his own in literary circles. He was friends with Yevtushenko, Voznesensky, Rozhdestvensky, Akhmadulina. Participated in their friendly parties. These gatherings were not limited to literary disputes. “There were various ladies hanging around there,” the writer admitted. His wife was jealous. As Aksenov said, she also had a complex: after giving birth, Kira gained weight. The constant scenes at home stressed him out.

The relationship with Kira has ceased to be the same.

– Love interests began. “This always happened in creative houses,” he admitted.

One day Vasily came to Yalta to rest with his wife. The literary fraternity organized a cruise on the ship "Georgia". Carmen's wife also came to unwind. This news was reported to Aksenov by his friend, writer Georgy Pozhenyan. He had liked Maya for a long time, and he hoped to have a holiday romance with her, because Maya’s husband, Roman Carmen, did not accompany her; he had recently suffered a heart attack and stayed at home in Moscow. Aksenova introduced Bella Akhmadulina to her wife Carmen. Seeing her, he realized that he had fallen in love. She attracted the looks of men like a magnet. She liked that they were looking after her.

A common table was set on the ship. Vasily hung around Maya, helped, joked, and gave compliments. He even dared to hint that his wife would soon leave. She was not taken aback and replied, “Here, let’s get closer to each other.” Kira left. And everything started spinning. Pozhenyan, seeing that he had no chance, went on a cruise on the ship. And Aksenov and his wife Karmena stayed in the house of creativity.

Soon everyone knew about their relationship. Yes, they didn’t hide it. He continued to live with Kira, she did not leave her husband. But their family relationships turned into a formality. The lovers vacationed in Sochi, in Cheget, and appeared together at events and parties. But we didn’t go abroad together. Maya graduated from the Institute of Foreign Trade and worked at the Chamber of Commerce. Returning from abroad, she brought Aksenov fashionable jeans and shirts.

Roman Carmen knew about his wife’s hobby. But he couldn’t refuse her. The director was terminally ill. And he asked Maya not to leave him while he was alive. She looked after her husband, sat by his bedside, and then ran off to visit Aksenov.

The writer Yulian Semenov, a friend of Carmen, tried to cool Vasily down. He said: “Give him Mike...”

He was in a hurry to finish scoring his famous film “The Unknown War”. But his heart could not stand it. Carmen died in April 1978. Maya was vacationing in Yalta with Aksenov at that time. And two years later they got married and left the USSR for the USA by invitation.

Evil tongues used to say that in the accounts of Carmen’s wife in US banks there were huge fees from her late husband for the 20-episode epic “The Unknown War”, created by him at the request of the Air Time International company...

Until his last days, Aksenov spoke about Maya: she is the closest person to him. He admitted that he loved only her, and promised to love her to the end. And so it happened.

Reference

In 1981 he was deprived of Soviet citizenship; in 1999 it was returned to him.

In the last years of his life he lived either in France, in Biarritz, or in Moscow.

In January 2008, the writer felt unwell; at the time of the attack he was driving and ended up in an accident. He was diagnosed with a stroke. Until July 6, 2009, he was between life and death.

Died at the age of 76.

Vasily Pavlovich Aksenov (1932-2009) - Russian writer, playwright and translator, he was born in Kazan on August 20, 1932. His novels were repeatedly banned, the prose writer was called “non-Soviet and unpopular.” Because of this, the writer even had to leave his homeland for a while. But from childhood he was accustomed to moving and persecution, because Vasya was only four years old when his parents were arrested. Based on the works of this author, films were repeatedly made and performances were staged in various theaters. His most popular works were the stories “It’s Time, My Friend, It’s Time,” “Oranges from Morocco” and the novel “Star Ticket.” Critics defined the writer's genre as “youth prose.”

Family relationships

The future writer was the third child in the family of Pavel and Evgenia Aksenov. The father and mother already had a daughter and a son, but from previous marriages. Vasya became their first child together; his parents waited a long time for him and loved him very much. Pavel was a member of the bureau of the regional committee of the CPSU and chairman of the city council. His wife taught at one of the local universities, and later she managed to head the cultural department at the Krasnaya Tataria newspaper. Evgenia Ginzburg also wrote and published memoirs about Stalin’s concentration camps - “Steep Route”.

In 1937, Vasily’s parents were arrested. Brother Alexei and sister Maya were taken by relatives, and the four-year-old boy was sent to an orphanage with other children of political prisoners. He spent two years there until Andreyan Aksenov, Pavel’s brother, arrived. The uncle took his nephew to Kazan, and the next ten years of the boy’s life were spent there. Only in 1948 did the mother manage to leave the Kolyma camps and return her son. Together with his mother, Aksenov moved to Magadan. There he graduated from high school. The prose writer will later describe memories of that period of life in the novel “Burn.”

In 1956, the young man graduated from a medical university in Leningrad. According to his assignment, he had to work as a doctor on the ships of the Baltic Shipping Company. But because of his parents, Vasya was unable to get permission, so he had to look for another place of work. He was a quarantine doctor in Kaleria, in the Leningrad port, then received a position at the capital's tuberculosis research institute.

First publications

In 1958, Aksenov's first stories were published. The magazine “Yunost” published the works “Torches and Roads” and “One and a Half Medical Units.” But they did not bring fame to the aspiring writer. Only after the publication of the story “Colleagues” in 1960 did they begin to take him seriously. Soon, a film of the same name was released based on it.

After some time, the novel “Star Ticket” was published, which was also filmed. The film was called “My Little Brother”. Aksenov also tried himself as a playwright, publishing the play “Always on Sale.” It was later staged by members of the Sovremennik Theater troupe.

In the early 60s, Vasily Pavlovich published several collections (“Catapult”, “Halfway to the Moon”) and individual stories. Among them are “Local hooligan Abramashvili”, “It’s a pity that you weren’t with us” and “Handsome Comrade Furazhkin”. In 1968, a fantasy story with elements of satire, “Overstocked Barrels,” was published.

Aggression from the authorities

Every day Aksenov’s works became more and more popular. He was accepted onto the editorial board of the Yunost magazine and published in various publications. In the seventies, Vasily released a duology for children - “My grandfather is a monument” and “A chest in which something is knocking.” In 1972, an experimental novel called “The Search for a Genre” was published. In the same year, the parody “Gene Green - Untouchable,” co-written with Gorchakov and Pozhenyan, was published. In 1976, Aksenov translated Doctorow’s “Ragtime” from English.

The prose writer's works were constantly criticized by the government. In 1963, Nikita Khrushchev scolded the writer at a demonstrative meeting with the intelligentsia in the Kremlin. There he cursed the poet Voznesensky. The main reason for this attitude was the free behavior of the writers. They took part in demonstrations on Red Square (after this incident, Aksenov was detained by vigilantes). In the late 1960s, Vasily signed letters in defense of dissidents. For this he was reprimanded and entered into his personal file.

Forced emigration

When the “thaw” ended, the prose work was no longer published in the USSR. He had a presentiment of this, so he published the novels “Burn” and “Island of Crimea” much later, already in the USA. The almanac “Metropol”, created by Vasily together with Bitov, Akhmadulina, Iskander, Popov and Erofeev, was also published there. The last two were soon expelled from the Writers' Union. As a sign of protest, several writers, including Aksenov, independently left this society. He later wrote about these events in the novel “Say Raisin.”

In July 1980, the talented prose writer was invited to the USA. He agreed, and immediately after leaving he was deprived of USSR citizenship. For ten years he worked in America as a professor of literature at various universities. Aksenov was also a journalist for Radio Liberty and Voice of America. His radio essays were often published in local almanacs, and later even the collection “A Decade of Slander” was published.

After moving, Vasily wrote several new novels - “Paper Landscape”, “In Search of the Sad Baby” and “Moscow Saga”. The last of them was published in three books, and later a series was filmed based on it. The director was Dmitry Barshchevsky. At the same time, a collection of short stories, “The New Sweet Style,” was published, which told about life after emigration.

In 1989, Aksenov published the novel “Egg Yolk,” written in English. Later he translated it into Russian. In the same year, the writer received an invitation to visit the USSR from the American Ambassador Jack Matlock. In 1990, his citizenship was returned to him, but the prose writer did not want to return to his homeland. His works were again published in Russia, Vasily was even awarded several times.

Last years of life

In 2002, the writer and his family moved to Bearizze. Aksenov’s last years were spent in France, but he often visited Moscow. In 2004 he received the Booker Prize for his novel Voltairians and Voltaireans. The following year, the writer released a kind of diary of memories called “The Apple of his Eye.” Also in 2005 he was awarded the French Order of Letters and Arts.

In January 2008, the writer was hospitalized at Moscow Hospital No. 23 with a stroke. A day later he was transferred to the Sklifosovsky Research Institute, and the carotid artery thrombus was removed. Within six months, Aksenov’s condition was diagnosed as “stable and serious.” On March 5, 2009, he was operated on again due to complications. On July 6th of the same year, Vasily Pavlovich died in Moscow. He was buried at the Vagankovskoye cemetery.

The prose writer's last novels were published after his death. One of them was released in October 2009, it was called “Mysterious Passion. A novel about the sixties” and was autobiographical. In the second work, Aksenov also described his life and memories, but never had time to finish it. This novel was called “Lend Lease” and was published in 2010.

During his life, Vasily Pavlovich was married twice. His first wife was Kira Mendeleeva, the daughter of the first rector of a pediatric university in Leningrad. The girl gave birth to her beloved son Alexei. Their relationship ended after the prose writer met Maya Carmen, the wife of a famous documentary filmmaker. Aksenov fell madly in love with a woman and left his family for her. Together they moved to the USA, where Maya taught Russian. She remained with her beloved until his death.

Maya Afanasyevna Zmeul, better known as Maya Carmen, was born in June 1930 in Moscow, in the family of a civil war hero, Soviet historian Afanasy Andreevich Zmeul. A few years after Maya’s birth, her father headed the All-Union Academy of Foreign Trade. During the Great Patriotic War, he went to the front and was an agitator in the propaganda department of the Political Directorate.

After the war, Zmeul becomes the head of the foreign trade association “International Book”. After graduating from one of the capital's schools, Maya Zmeul is a student at the Institute of Foreign Trade. After receiving her diploma, she got a job at the Chamber of Commerce.

Maya Zmeul belonged to that category of youth that was called “golden”. The daughter of a prominent foreign trade boss, who ran a prestigious institution that had offices in many countries, had everything that others only dreamed of. Maya's mother died early. The father married for the second time. But relations with my stepmother improved quickly. The daughter inherited her father’s character - stubborn, straightforward and purposeful.

In 1951, Maya got married. Her first husband was foreign trade worker Maurice Ovchinnikov. Three years later, the couple had a daughter, Elena. But soon the marriage collapsed. Maya met the country-famous director Roman Carmen and fell in love. He also left his family for her sake - he divorced his wife Nina Orlova, with whom he lived for 20 years.

Despite Maya's hot-tempered and straightforward nature, the couple got along well. They were part of that layer of Soviet society called the “elite.” There was everything here - a prestigious apartment in the famous high-rise building on Kotelnicheskaya Embankment, a dacha near Moscow, travel abroad, cars with personal chauffeurs and gatherings with members of the Politburo. But in 1970, Roman Carmen had a heart attack. To restore their health, the family went to Yalta. There the fateful meeting between Maya Carmen and.

Personal life

From the moment of meeting Aksyonov, who arrived in Yalta with his wife Kira, Maya Carmen’s personal life was turned upside down. It was love at first sight, a fatal passion that swept away everything in its path. But Kira Mendeleeva also loved her husband and did not want to divorce him. Roman Carmen had the same feelings for his wife.

Vasily Aksyonov and Maya Carmen began dating in secret. They traveled together to Sochi, Koktebel and the Baltic states. But it is impossible to keep the personal lives of such famous people secret. The entire literary bohemia of Moscow was gossiping about this novel. As Vasily Aksyonov later admitted, he was once almost beaten by a man who was friends with Roman Karmen and sincerely worried about his suffering friend.

Their relationship was indeed very risky. After all, Roman Lazarevich Karmen is People’s Artist of the USSR and Hero of Socialist Labor. He is a luminary of documentary cinema, who filmed footage of the surrender of Paulus at Stalingrad and the signing of the act of surrender of Germany. Moreover: Carmen is a personal friend of himself. And Vasily Aksenov is a dissident, he is increasingly criticized in the press and is almost never published. Vasily Pavlovich later described his love affair in his autobiographical work “Burn”. There Maya Carmen is named Alice.

Maya was never able to leave Roman Carmen. She was torn between him and Aksyonov until the death of Roman Lazarevich. He passed away in 1978. The divorce never happened. But with the departure of the director, the last barrier between Maya Carmen and Vasily Aksyonov disappeared. After divorcing Kira, Vasily Pavlovich was finally able to marry Maya. Nothing could now overshadow their life together, not even actual expulsion from the country.

In May 1980, the lovers got married. We celebrated the event in Peredelkino, at the dacha, where close friends gathered. And already in July of the same year, 48-year-old Vasily Aksyonov and 50-year-old Maya with their daughter Alena and grandson Vanya went to Paris. A couple of months later they moved to America, intending to live there for a while. It was planned that it would be 2 years. But the writer was promptly deprived of citizenship. So the couple remained in the USA for a long 24 years. Maya Carmen, like her husband, worked at the university, teaching Russian.

In 1999, great grief happened in the family. Maya's 26-year-old grandson Ivan tragically died after falling out of a window. But this was only the first tragedy, followed by others. In 2004, Maya and Vasily Aksenov received an apartment in Moscow. Or rather, they were given back the apartment they had once taken away in the same building on Kotelniki. And 4 years later Aksyonov had a stroke. The writer was leaving the courtyard of that same high-rise building.

Vasily Pavlovich was in a coma for almost 2 years. The operations he underwent did not save him. All this time Maya was next to her beloved husband. Soon she suffered another blow. In the summer of 2008, daughter Elena, who had come to help care for her stepfather, died suddenly in her sleep. And in the summer of next year, Maya Carmen buried her husband. In one of her last interviews, the woman admitted that she was kept in this world only by Aksenov’s beloved dog, a spaniel named Pushkin.

"(2004)

Vasily Pavlovich Aksenov(August 20, Kazan - July 6, Moscow) - Russian writer, playwright and screenwriter, translator, teacher.

In the 1960s, V. Aksenov’s works were often published in the magazine “Youth”. For several years he has been a member of the journal's editorial board. Adventure duology for children: “My grandfather is a monument” (1970) and “A chest in which something is knocking” (1972).

The story about L. Krasin “Love for Electricity” (1971) belongs to the historical and biographical genre. The experimental work “Search for a Genre” was written in 1972 (first publication in the magazine “New World”; in the subtitle indicating the genre of the work, it is also indicated “Search for a Genre”).

In the 1970s, after the end of the “thaw”, Aksyonov’s works ceased to be published in his homeland. The novels “Burn” (1975) and “Island of Crimea” (1977-1979, partially written during his stay in Koktebel) were created from the very beginning by the author without any expectation of publication. At this time, criticism of Aksenov and his works became increasingly harsh: epithets such as “non-Soviet” and “non-national” were used. In 1977-1978, Aksyonov’s works began to appear abroad, primarily in the USA.

In 1978, V. Aksyonov, together with Andrei Bitov, Viktor Yerofeyev, Fazil Iskander, Evgeny Popov and Bella Akhmadulina, became the organizer and author of the uncensored almanac “Metropol”, which was never published in the Soviet censored press. The almanac was published in the USA. All participants in the almanac underwent “workouts”. In protest against the subsequent exclusion of Popov and Erofeev from the Union of Writers of the USSR in December 1979, Aksyonov, as well as Inna Lisnyanskaya and Semyon Lipkin, announced their withdrawal from the joint venture. The history of the almanac is set out in the novel with the key “Say “Raisin””.

Peer ratings

“Aksyonov has always been fashionable. He managed to do what all writers dream of - to cross the generation line. He conquered everyone - the romantic readers of the magazine “Youth”, and bearded dissidents, and today’s Russia” (Alexander Genis).

Aksenov at that time was called an expert on urban life. “There are ‘hillbillies’, but in the city he, Aksyonov.” (Georgy Sadovnikov. My classmate Vasya / “Vasily Aksyonov - a lonely long-distance runner”).

“Aksyonov in America remained a famous writer for a narrow circle. I suspect that he wanted to be the author of an American bestseller and was very upset that it didn’t work out. In my opinion, even theoretically it could not have happened. To create an American bestseller, you have to write badly and about stupid things. But Aksyonov, no matter how hard he tries, will not be able to do this.” (Anatoly Gladilin. Aksyonov Saga).

“Talented white guy. I didn’t smell life..." (Vil Lipatov).
