Donara Mkrtchyan Biography

How schizophrenia destroyed the personal life of the Mimino star Frunzik Mkrtchyan. With Donara, a short, miniature carriage girl, Frunzik met in the lobby of the Yerevan Theater Institute. She stood at the door of the selection committee, looking around in confusion and nervously fiddled with a disheveled book that broke into the pages. The book fell to the floor.

Frunzik passing by stopped and raised it. The girl scaredly looked at him with radiant eyes. Frunzik noticed the expression of doom on her face. She looked like a driven animal, ready to instantly break off and run away. As if she knew in advance - the entrance exam would certainly fill up. There was something touching and attractive in this frightened trepy, which made Frunzik ask the most traditional question in these parts: “Girl!

And where are you from? Of course, she immediately recognized Frunzik. He was already popular in her hometown. The countrywoman was so good! The desire to help was immediately born. The teachers of the theater institute were friends and partners on the stage. And Frunzik helped. As it turned out - not in vain. Donara very soon showed herself as a gifted actress - a bright, temperamental, emotional truth, back in his student years, colleagues noticed some excessiveness, the pain of this too open emotionality.

But Frunzik did not bother this - he himself was excessive in everything. Very impulsive, ”recalls Frunzik's friend film director Slosz Oganesyan. We, his friends, then tried to dissuade him, but he did not listen. Sos Sargsyan: I dissuaded him, dissuaded and dissuaded nothing to be done, it happened, I accepted her. She was a talented person, very beautiful. All the time there was this thirst for comfort and a house, a hearth and family, to equip everything.

He walked, bought everything for home. He could buy a carpet, pillow, chairs, he reigned the apartment, he tried to cut his nest. Soon Frunzik and Donar got married. In the year, the Frunzik family exchanges the Leninakan apartment and moves to Yerevan. Musheg had left his family by that time. Frunzik and his wife settled with their relatives who moved in an apartment on Komitas Street.

In the year, the young couple had a daughter Nune, and the family began to live separately, moving to a two -room apartment in the center of Yerevan on Abovyan Street. In those years, the work of a popular actor, engaged in cinema and the theater, although it did not bring income that allowed luxury and excess, but completely ensured a decent existence. The need was over. Frunzik - so cheerful, clumsy in communication with the audience - with friends was closed to talk about personal.

He did not spread about his family life. Modest, unpretentious in everyday life, it seemed that he was pleased with everything. At first, the life of a young family was quite prosperous. Children grew. Own apartment, over time, a car appeared. However, soon friends noticed - somewhere since the middle of the X, drinking, he had gloomy, went into himself, fell silent. And he drank more and more often.

Donara, having graduated from the institute, also began to work in the Sund Procian Theater. And here, already carefully hidden by Frunzik, family dysfunction spilled out and became obvious. Donara behaved strangely. I could throw a tantrum in public in public. Manacially looking for reasons for scandals. And the reasons were the most inadequate and unpredictable: Donara constantly seemed that Frunzik was cheating on her - he smiled at someone, kissed his hand, looked not so, at the wrong time was where Donara began to literally pursue her claims.

The guard after the performances, checked with calls, tracked down. Frunzik often starred, and not only at the Yerevan studio, but also at the studios of Moscow and other cities. For the sake of Donara’s calm, he agreed that she would be taken for a role in the Caucasian Captive. Frunzik hoped that with the advent of his second child, his wife’s behavior could change for the better.

By that time, the daughters of Nune were already 12 years old, and he thought that the worries of the baby would distract Donar from manic thoughts. But the situation only exacerbated when his son Vaagn was born his relatives called Vaan. The wife simply did not want to do anything - neither home nor children. She was not interested in work in the theater. The tantrums and scandals of Donars were inexplicable and everyone became more frequent.

The house was uncomfortable, cold and hostile. After performances or filming, the artist did not want to return to the family. Feeling like a produced victim, Frunzik silently flooded the grief in a long -tested tool that destroyed more than one creative person. From the book "Frunzik Mkrtchyan: I think how schizophrenia destroyed the personal life of the Mimino star Frunzik Mkrtchyan, few know that a cheerful and beloved Armenian died 26 years ago, because he remains" the same "by a driver who had the famous" I laughed there.

"However, he lived only 63 years.This funny person with a large Armenian nose and sad eyes has long been gone in the world, but we continue to look at the Frunzik Mkrtchyan in Mimino, the Caucasian captive, “bustle”, laugh at the adventures of his funny heroes, sometimes not knowing or not recalling his terrible fate. The solar boy with sad eyes The name "Frunzik" parents gave his son in honor of the famous military leader Mikhail Frunze.

Then many Armenians and not only they tried to call children sonorous names “with the meaning” so that no one suspects them of nationalism or a bad attitude to the Soviet regime. But the growing Frunzik, who was already working in the theater, the surrounding began to call Mger - this word from the Bible means “the sun”, and Frunzik was for everyone who knew it: it was the Sun: gullible, kind, tender.

And he also loved to joke. True, his eyes always remained serious and sad, as if he knew in advance what a terrible fate was waiting for him ... He was loved by Frunzik, it was impossible not to love him. His popularity began to grow immediately as soon as he went on stage and began to appear on the screen. From the very first films - “Thirty -Three”, “Aibolit”, “Caucasian captive, or new adventures of Shurik” - this face was remembered, he was waiting, starting to smile even before Frunzik uttered the first words.

But truly deafening fame and popular love came to the artist after the release of the film “Mimino”. The driver Rubik Khachikyan - as naive, kind and open as Mkrtchyan himself - immediately fell in love with the audience, his phrases, invented “on the move” by the artist, instantly went to the people: “I laughed like that”, “I feel such a personal dislike that I can’t eat! And both passports he managed to lose.

However, this loss did not affect Frunzik in any way, because he was completely recognized everywhere at first sight, smiled and did not demand any documents. The wife starred with him in the “Caucasian captive”, despite the apparent lightness and fun, which, it would seem, should surround a person like Frunzik Mkrtchyan, his biography is incredibly dramatic.

His first marriage did not last long, and the second time the actor married when he was already over 18, then he barely turned 18, and Frunzik madly fell in love with this dark -eyed beauty. Spectators could see Donar in the film "Caucasian captive", she played the wife of the driver of Comrade Saakhov by the driver himself just played Frunzik. The actor was happy when they had a son Vazgen and the daughter of Nune.

Mkrtchyan, like most Armenians, was an incredibly caring father, he literally idolized children, played with them for a long time. The diagnosis is schizophrenia, but a happy marital life did not last long. Donara became more jealous and suspicious, rolled up the nightmarish scenes of jealousy, not embarrassed by others. In the end, exhausted by such a life, he obeyed the advice of friends and took Donar to the psychiatrist.

The specialist examined the woman and diagnosed: schizophrenia. Mkrtchyan fought for his beloved wife for a long time. At first I took Donar to France, having arranged one of the best clinics. Then he tried to cure her in Armenia. But all the efforts were in vain - soon Donara ceased to be the woman whom Frunzik knew and loved. She lived for quite some time, but a cruel disease completely destroyed her personality, and the last 25 years of Donar’s life did not leave the walls of the Sevan Psychiatric Hospital.

Once sociable and cheerful, he fell in love with loneliness of the artist, unable to endure the loss, washed down.

For a long time I got out of this vice. At 54, Frunzik once again tried to arrange his life - he married again. But this wife, as beautiful as Donara, turned out to be absurd and scandalous in character. A divorce followed soon.
