People who have achieved something in their life have always attracted and will attract the attention of others. Some are sincerely happy about the success of celebrities, while others seem to be waiting for the famous person to stumble somewhere and immediately rush to throw another tub of slops on it. It just so happened that ordinary people for some reason more like scandals and dirty incidents than any positive information. Perhaps that is why they have such a craving for famous personalities. After all, celebrities always have some kind of passion. But if you look carefully around you, you will find that similar passions develop in your own life. Another thing is that philistine scandals are of no interest to anyone. After all, who knows any uncle Vasya from a neighboring entrance except for his neighbors and relatives? In which newspaper do they write that he spent the whole night drunk under the door of his own apartment? The correct answer is in no way!
No screaming headlines
In our conversation about Galina Mshanskaya, who is well known as the host of the Tsarās Box television program on the Russian television channel, we wonāt go down to the dirty and scandalous stories inherent in the yellow press. Better try to figure out what this person is famous for and why his life is worthy of the attention of others. Although Galina Evgenievna Mshanskaya herself does not like excessive attention to her person. Together with her husband, the famous Soviet actor Oleg Basilashvili, they lead a rather secluded, almost reclusive lifestyle. A married couple does not attend any social events, does not happen in theaters and at exhibitions, more preferring to spend free time in close contact with each other and in the warm circle of their relatives. And this suggests that over 50-plus years of living together, two celebrities have not become tired of the family hearth society. Isn't it admirable?
The first and only stage experience
It turns out that for the first time Galina Mshanskaya appeared on the stage when she was in the womb of her mother, the famous opera singer Olga Mshanskaya. And this event happened about a month before the future television star was born into the light of God. Could anyone at that moment have thought that after many years this baby would release hundreds of television shows covering the life and work of the artists of the Mariinsky Theater, on the stage of which she "performed" so well, comfortably accommodating herself in her motherās tummy. Although, probably already at that moment, fate predicted the famous future to Galina Mshanskaya, Basilashviliās wife. Interestingly, then no one noticed the pregnancy of the opera diva Olga Mshanskaya, because the woman was dressed in a wide sundress.
The romantic story of a couple of artists and girls from television
When Galina Mshanskaya grew up, she did not follow in the footsteps of her mother and did not become an opera singer. Fate prepared for her a career as a TV presenter. Perhaps that is why Galina so easily got along with her future husband. They met during the filming of the television show "Kyuhlya", in which Oleg Basilashvili took part. The young and beautiful girl Galya at that time was engaged in the musical design of the production. An artist with a Georgian surname immediately drew attention to the beauty, however, at that time he did not dare to approach her, being a shy person. But once Oleg, along with his friend Sergei Jurassic, literally stumbled upon the young Galina Mshanskaya in the subway. Since then, the romantic story of a theater artist and a girl from television began. And this story has not yet ended, because famous people still love each other and value their relations very much. And this is very rare in our time, especially in the world of cinema and show business.
Uneasy happy life
Continuing to delve into the biography of Galina Mshanskaya, it is impossible not to mention that they and Basilashvili did not have a wedding. They themselves decided so when they lived together for two years, after which they simply registered their relationship with the registry office. As Galina recalls, this event happened because they realized that they belonged to each other forever. There was a real connection between the two halves, which turned into one. Being both true workers, they worked a lot each in their field. Galina often helped Oleg learn his roles. She was always aware of his theatrical career, always interested in his successes and failures. Oleg, however, never delved into his wifeās affairs, explaining this by the fact that he did not understand anything in television.
The warmth of the family hearth
As Basilashviliās wife, Galina Mshanskaya always showed unusual warmth and concern for her husband. She understood how much he needed to concentrate on roles and theatrical productions and therefore lived on his interests. The woman, together with her beloved man, plunged into a secluded lifestyle, although by nature she was sociable and cheerful. She tried to do everything so that her husband did not distract anything from the creative process. In turn, Oleg Basilashvili did his best to help his wife in difficult times. When Galina was having a hard time moving away from her second birth, he took upon himself all the housework: he cooked, washed, kept his apartment clean and tinkered with children. Now, recalling all this, Oleg calls that period of life a happy time. After all, nothing can replace him with the warmth of the hearth created by Galina Mshanskaya and the children - two lovely girls Olya and Ksyusha.
TV career
Despite a rather secluded family life, the work of Galina Mshanskaya was full of bright events and full of creative enthusiasm. In 1970-1980, under her sensitive editorial guidance and direct participation, famous opera films and operettas were published. To appreciate the creative work of Galina Evgenievna, it is enough to recall the film-opera "Don Pasquale" or "Caramboline-Caramboletta", perfectly staged masterpieces of Russian theater art. But there are dozens of other works created with her support in those years. Along with the opera, Galina Mshanskaya made a significant contribution to the creation of many documentaries and television programs, where she acted as a director or editor-in-chief.
Work on the TV channel
More than 19 years ago, when Galina Mshanskaya was already 60 years old, she was invited to play the role of the permanent host of the Tsarās Box on the St. Petersburg television channel Culture. The program covered the main and significant events taking place in the world of leading musicians of classics and classical music. The innovation of the idea for the program was that the musicians were told to the audience by the direct participants in the ongoing action, namely the musicians themselves.
Galina has been the author and host of the Tsarās Box program for nearly ten years. These golden years became the most significant time in her creative television activities. Indeed, it was in the programs about classical music that Galina Evgenievna could reveal herself both as an author and as a host. Currently, Mshanskaya is the chief editor of the St. Petersburg channel "Culture". Despite her advanced age, she is still full of strength and energy to do what she loves.
Deserved rewards for a worthy person
In 1999, Galina Mshanskaya was nominated for the TEFI Award for great popularity and incredible audience success for almost ten years of the Tsarās Box television program. The name of the popular program of the channel "Culture" Galina came up with Tatyana Andreeva. In February 2003, Galina was awarded the medal "In memory of the 300th anniversary of St. Petersburg" for her invaluable contribution to the development of domestic television. In 2005, she was nominated for a diploma for the best directorial work in the film "I'm tired of living in my native land." And in February 2008, Galina Evgenievna Mshanskaya was awarded the Order of Friendship for her long, fruitful work and huge contribution to the development of domestic broadcasting.
Children continue motherās work
It must be said that both daughters of Galina Mshanskaya, like their well-known parents, found themselves in creative activity, which at the same time became a permanent job for girls.
The eldest daughter of Galina Mshanskaya, Olga, for a long time along with her mother led the TV program "The Tsar's Lodge". At one time, she received a diploma in economics from a theater institute. And the youngest, Ksenia, works as a cultural observer at the Ekho Moskvy radio station. Despite the fact that both daughters live in different cities, they are now trying to maintain warm and friendly relations, which are a special distinguishing feature that distinguishes the Mshanskaya and Basilashvili family from many modern star families.
