Willie Hshtoyan: biography and personal life

The Soviet diplomat Willie Hshtoyan, whose biography should be rather interesting in fact, for many years he held diplomatic posts in the USSR and during his time had traveled almost half the world, nevertheless is known to the country as the husband of Nadezhda Rumyantseva. Despite his advanced age, he still works, and this helps him somehow to disperse from sad thoughts about his beloved wife, who is no longer around and with whom he lived for more than 40 years.

Willie Hshtoyan: biography. Diplomat, interesting man and husband of Nadezhda Rumyantseva

The exact date of birth of the Soviet diplomat we could not find. We can only say that he was born in 1929, which means that he is older than his wife for only one year. Also, the place where Hshtoyan Willy Vartanovich was born, a biography, his birthday is not mentioned anywhere. Of course, this is a bit strange, because in his time, and today, too, he occupied a rather prominent position in the country.

His surname and patronymic speak about the fact that Willy Vartanovich was born in an Armenian family. However, we absolutely do not know who his parents were. Perhaps these were people who fled from Western Armenia during the Turkish pogroms, perhaps its roots from Tbilisi, because in the pre-revolutionary period, the cream of the Armenian intelligentsia was concentrated in the capital of Georgia. Hshtoyans could also be from Baku. It was here that the big industrialists of Armenian origin lived, many of whom left Baku after the revolution.

Willy Hshtoyan, a biography whose bibliography is only in the archives of the USSR Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has lived most of his life in Moscow. Information about the school where he received his primary education, too, no. But we know that he studied at the Faculty of Economics of the University and worked in the Foreign Trade of the USSR. It was during this period that he met at a party with his second wife - the well-known Soviet film actress and TV presenter Nadezhda Rumyantseva. From that moment on, actor's brotherhood was adopted by Hshtoyan Willy. The biography of the diplomat has since been closely associated with the acting. Having signed with Nadezhda, he moved to live in her apartment - in a house where Leonid Gaidai, Yumatov, and others lived next door to them.

Personal life up to Rumyantseva

Willy Hshtoyan, whose biography, whose personal life before the meeting with Nadezhda Rumyantseva and the creation of her family, was once marked by marriage, in the first marriage became the father of Karina's daughter. But much more interesting is the other. So, who was Willy Hshtoian married to? Biography holds back the name of his first wife. In one of the interviews he gave journalists after the death of Hope, talking about his daughter, the diplomat also mentions the name of his first wife, her mother. Her name is Tatyana. Apparently, Willy's first wife was not Armenian by nationality either. We also do not know under what circumstances his first marriage broke up. It is known that he married Tatiana in 1958-59. For some time the young family lived in Malaysia, where in the summer of 1960 his daughter Karina was born. And in the 64th he had already divorced his first wife and was single when he met Nadezhda Rumyantseva. Since then, in his life came a new period, which lasted as long as 42 years, before she left him in another world.

Meeting with Nadezhda

As Hshtoian and Rumyantsev later admitted, when they met and even met, neither he nor she could imagine that they would have something serious. However, it turned out that this is fate! By 1964 both Willy and Nadezhda had once been married and divorced. The diplomat never told the press about the reasons for his divorce from his wife, but Nadia and her husband split up because of a lack of correspondence with their views on life, besides, she did not want to go with her husband Vladimir to some provincial town where he was sent to work in the theater.

Willy Hshtoyan liked her. Biography, of course, except for the fact of divorce, he was enviable. After all, an employee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the USSR. In the country, then, people who were in the diplomatic service were considered representatives of a completely different, privileged caste. While many did not even dream of seeing the countries of the socialist camp, diplomats cruised around the world. But we do not think that it was this opportunity that attracted Hope. Willy, by the time of their meeting, had already visited many countries and was an interesting interlocutor, he could tell about such things, about the existence of which most Soviet people did not even suspect. Nadya was fascinating with him, and he was interested in Nadya, gay, relaxed, with a sense of humor.

Happening

One day, at a friend's birthday, Willie Hshtoian, a young diplomat who was on duty in the department of foreign trade, met Nadezhda Rumyantseva, a well-known throughout the Union. After a busy day at the ministry, he really wanted to relax with friends and have fun. Nadia was the queen of this party. She was able to create an aura of goodwill and fun around her. She always told me some funny stories and anecdotes, danced with everyone. However, the reserved diplomat-Caucasian had aroused a special interest in her. He was not like the other men with whom she was previously acquainted. In a word, they were attracted to each other by what was unusual for everyone.

The main thing is to take the initiative in your hands

By the end of the evening they were fascinated by each other, but Hope took the initiative to develop further relations in their own hands. First, seeing that Willie was about to leave, she informed everyone that she was also leaving the party, and then asked the diplomat if he was going to accompany her. Of course, Hshtoyan was happy to accompany the beautiful actress, but this straightforwardness initially surprised him. And when he was habitually going to stop a taxi, she offered to walk to her house. In the street there was a frost, and she lived in the metro area "Airport". But they had the opportunity to get to know each other better during a long walk.

The beginning of a serious relationship

By the end of the first day of acquaintance, when the couple reached the entrance of the actress's house, again, on the initiative of Hope, they exchanged phone numbers. Of course, she called first. For a while Nadia called him in the evenings, and they talked for a long time on the phone about anything or anything. And one day on New Year's Eve the actress called Willy and asked him how he was going to celebrate the holiday. He did not have any special plans. The daughter was in Tanya's house, and, therefore, he will spend the night with his parents at a plentiful Armenian table. However, Nadezhda offered him another scenario for celebrating the New Year: along with her go to the Artist's House and celebrate him cheerfully in the acting fraternity. That's how Willy Hshtoyan met in 1964. Biography (see the photo in the article), it seemed, went in a completely different direction. After all, everyone who knew Hope could not have thought that she was ready to leave the stage for her husband's sake for a long time. Everything was just like that, but we will not run ahead ...

Living together

After spending the New Year's Eve together, they began to live without water. She invited him to her apartment. He introduced Nadyusha to his parents, and they very much loved her, open, friendly, sincere and warm. With a little Karina, good relations also developed. They first met in the theater. The girl gave Hope flowers, and she, embracing her, led her behind the scenes, showing all sorts of miracles. Karina was delighted with her. They talked a lot, and Willy was pleased that his new wife (despite the fact that they were not officially registered, Willy thought Nadia his legal wife and all the friends represented her that way) gets along with the little girl. For three years they lived as cohabitants, rested together, went to the cinema and restaurants, took Karina to children's plays, etc.

Accession to the Armenian culture

When Willy went abroad, Nadezhda waited for him, and on the day of her return she cooked delicious Armenian dishes for her lover. In a short time with Willie's mom, she tried to learn from her the cunning of Armenian cuisine. And soon many dishes from her turned out not worse, than from the Armenian women themselves. Especially delicious, she cooked an Armenian dolma with grape leaves and even made garlic-macsonium sauce for her. In addition, she tried to memorize some Armenian words and even whole expressions, and then surprised her beloved with her knowledge in his native language. There were times when Nadia left for a business trip, to be removed in some picture somewhere in the provincial town of Russia-Mother. And then Willie was bored in their Moscow apartment. He often called her in the evenings and complained of loneliness.

Marriage

After three years of marriage, the couple signed. This time, the initiator was Willie Hshtoyan. His biography was supplemented in 1967 with another important event: the re-marriage of actress Nadezhda Rumyantseva, known throughout the Soviet Union. Before that he was silent and did not offer her to marry him, and she said that the seal in the passport was nothing compared to their love. So what happened? That year, Willy received the position of sales representative in Egypt. He no longer represented his life without Nadia and announced to the Foreign Ministry that he would go there with her, to which officials from the ministry demanded to provide a stamp in the passport. Arriving home, he told Nadya that they should file documents with the Civil Registry Office and that they would soon go to Egypt for a long time. And here in a narrow circle of the closest the marriage ceremony took place. As a result, Nadezhda Rumyantseva was marked in the "spouse" column, and "Husbandian Willy Vartanovich" was the "husband". Biography, his personal life went to a new channel.

Living Abroad

For as long as 10 years, the couple settled in Cairo. Here they led a rich life, attended social receptions, receptions, etc. Nadia, in order not to strike her face in the mud, she studied English. She translated it and, together with her teacher, learned several of her favorite anecdotes. She had a sense of tact and style, and her spouse-diplomat did not have to blush for her wife. In the summer, Karina came to visit them. Billy Hshtoian felt absolutely happy. However, he did not suspect that his wife needed complete happiness for her own child, whom she had never given birth.

After returning

After returning to Moscow, everyone began to do their own business. However, Willy was opposed to Nadia permanently lost on the set and returned to the career of the actress. She became the leading children's program "Alarm Clock", as well as voiced many of the series that the entire Soviet people loved to see in the late 80's. After the collapse of the USSR, Willy, although he continued to work in the Foreign Ministry, but also turned some of his affairs. One day gangsters attacked their house. The couple struggled with them for a long time. Nadya did not leave her husband in trouble and grabbed one of the bandits. That's such a fragile woman! After that they decided to move to live in the village, and under the very side of the suburban residence of Putin. One day, when Willy was on a business trip, Nadia was not well, and she fell on the concrete, hit her head. Returning from the trip, the husband insisted on being put in a hospital and thoroughly examined. In the head was a hematoma. After the treatment was carried out, Nadia returned to her favorite home, but she was very cold, and she had to go back to the hospital again. Soon Nadezhda Rumyantseva died of pneumonia, leaving her beloved spouse alone. So where now and what does Willie Hshtoian do?

Biography: he is alive or not?

Today, the elderly diplomat is 87 years old, now 8 years old, how he lives without his beloved wife, with whom they hand in hand for 42 years. He says that from the day he buried his Nadenka in the family crypt in the Armenian cemetery in Moscow, he does not know whether he lives. He does everything by inertia, and if he forgets something, he hears in his head the voice of his wife, which reminds him that he must not give up and live. Despite his advanced age, he continues to work and even travels abroad. He's such a tough nut.
