From Karkovsky to Kaidnovsky. The only love of Valentina Malivina Valentina Malivina is the first beauty of the Soviet cinema, the wife of Alexander Zverev, the muse of Andrei Tarkovsky, who was convicted of murder and forgotten by everyone. Her only true love was Alexander Kaidnovsky: they were both married when such a passion flared between them. For her, Meliavina was kicked out of the house, and the film "The Deer King" remained unfinished. They lived together for more than five years without ever getting married - they argued, broke up and got back together. Kaidnovsky eventually married Malibina's friend, Yevgenia Simonova, but, according to rumors, continued to run away to his former lover. After Kaidnovsky's death, the actress disappeared for a quarter of a century.
