His mother escaped to the USA with her lover, but she was forgiven.
Nikita Mikhalkov's wife shared a rare family photo from the archive. The occasion turned out to be special for the legendary dynasty.
In the photo posted by the director's wife, a very young Nikita Sergeyevich with black mustache and hair posed alongside his older brother Andrei Konchalovsky with his son Yegor, mother Natalia Konchalovskaya, Tatyana Mikhalkova, and her daughter Anna. Many fans saw this rarity for the first time and could not help but admire the noble family.
"What wonderful children! Very good, beautiful photo!", "What a beautiful family", "A wonderful intelligent woman of high breed", "Bright memory", noted the followers, who were particularly impressed by Mikhalkov's mother's stature.
Let us remind you that Natalia Petrovna Konchalovskaya passed away in Moscow back in 1988.
In 1927, without her parents' knowledge, she went to the USA with her lover — Alexey Alexeyevich Bogdanov, a representative of "Amtorgh", a businessman. Bogdanov received a divorce from his first wife via telegraph and married Konchalovskaya during the sea voyage from Yokohama to San Francisco. Soon they parted ways, and they returned to Russia separately.
She was married to Sergey Mikhalkov for 52 years. She was a well-known poetess, writer, and translator. In addition to her sons from Mikhalkov, Andrei and Nikita, Natalia Petrovna also had an older daughter from her first unsuccessful marriage to the businessman Alexey.
The union quickly fell apart, and Ekaterina was adopted by Sergey Mikhalkov, who gave her his patronymic and surname. Nikita and Andrei Sergeyevich's half-sister passed away in 1999.
