Safronov, Bondarchuk and Liepa have long been haunted by a strange lady

A woman has been watching the stars at the entrance of her house for several months

The star residents of the famous Moscow Art Theater house on Bryusov Lane lost peace and sleep. For several months now, a strange lady has been guarding them near the entrance, pestering them with various, not entirely adequate requests. Nikas Safronov told MK about what is happening in the very center of Moscow.

“I see this woman every day.” As soon as I leave the entrance, she immediately rushes to me: she asks me to make her my model,” says Nikas. – She assures that in Soviet times she posed for Glazunov. She repeatedly persuaded me to let her live with me. And when I refused her, she began to beg: “Show me your apartment”… She looked about 50 years old. At first I talked to her in a good way, but she did not calm down. As soon as I leave the house, he immediately runs towards me and tries to get into my car.

Other celebrities live in the house with Safronov: Andris Liepa and Fyodor Bondarchuk. As the security guard said, their lady also pesters them. Fedora, for example, asks to be cast in a movie.

“I gave her money at one time,” the People’s Artist of the Russian Federation does not deny. “She complained and said: “You have no idea in what difficult conditions I live.” Then my relatives forbade me from helping her financially – they say, in this case, she will come again and again. And so it happened. And how many times did she stop ordinary passers-by on the street, ask people to call my intercom and persuade them to let her in to see me! Our people are compassionate – many call, some ask, some reprimand my assistants to take pity on the poor woman.

The artist hoped that the lady would eventually get tired and leave him behind. But she doesn’t give up.

“Moreover, she has already studied my schedule: she comes at those hours when I usually leave the entrance,” the painter complains. “The security guard who is on duty at our house kicks her out, she runs away for a while, then returns. She threatens the security guard: she says that her son will come and deal with him.

Not long ago, a security guard reported that a lady had placed an object under the wheel of Safronov’s car – it turned out to be a large self-tapping screw. Maybe she hoped that the tire would burst and this would not allow Nikas to leave in the car.

“The security guard called the local police officer just in case,” Safronov continues. — He talked to the woman. I hoped that after speaking with the law enforcement officer, she would leave. But no. She seems to be a somewhat special person. These people are often attracted to celebrities. But in my life, few people had shown such activity before.
