Actress Rimma Zyubina confirmed for the first time that she is no longer in a relationship with theater director Stanislav Moiseev. The couple lived together for about 32 years, raised a son and managed to maintain friendly relations after the breakup.

55-year-old Zyubina spoke about changes in her personal life in an interview with Glavkom. The actress also admitted that the status of the director’s wife for many years rather hindered her than helped her in her career.. This was not an advantage for her at all.. On the contrary, it created additional problems and gave rise to rumors about supposedly existing privileges.

She said that at the Young Theater, which was directed by Moiseev, she specifically tried to prove to her colleagues that she was not getting roles thanks to family connections.. Zyubina played her first truly major role in her husband’s production, Maria Stuart, only seven years after joining the theater.

However, now their story as spouses has come to an end.

“The entire time we worked together at the Young Theater, I always called my husband “Stanislav Anatolyevich”. But today we are no longer together,” the actress confirmed..

At the same time, Zyubina did not speak about Moiseev with resentment or reproaches. On the contrary, she emphasized that she was grateful to her ex-husband for the years of marriage, her son and professional development. “There was so much happiness in my marriage, so many gifts, so many countries that we traveled together. For every birthday in the family, we organized trips,” said the artist.

" It was generally just a relationship between an actress and a director.. He had a family, a child, a wife. For me this is a taboo,” Zyubina recalled in an interview with Balyuchi Temi..

Subsequently, Moiseev left the theater and moved to Kyiv. Zyubina also ended up in the capital, where she continued her studies and worked in the theater. After some time, the director invited her to meet for a cup of tea. This meeting was a turning point for both of them.

" And he invited me to have tea. Well, we met to have tea, and for many years after that we drank tea,” said the actress.

At that time, Moiseev was still officially married, however, according to Zyubina, he was already in the process of divorce. The artist categorically denied that she deliberately tried to destroy his family.
