Natalya Andreichenko left him for Maximilian Schell. Dunaevsky recalled: “1985-1986, perestroika had not yet arrived, but it was a terrible, troubled time. Many people wanted to leave and left by any means. When Maximilian Schell appeared in our family as a friend and film partner, I saw that he favored Natasha, was in love with her. At first, she did not reciprocate his feelings, they were just friends. He came to visit us. But then I noticed that she began to answer him - not with love, no, with some kind of spiritual reciprocity... Probably, there was a lot of pressure, and besides, there was a chance to start a new life with an Oscar winner, with a millionaire, a very good life - both professional and financial... Natasha called me for a conversation. She is a fairly straightforward person, she will not hide for long. She she didn’t say that she had feelings for Shell, she didn’t say that she loved him madly, then, probably, there would have been a different conversation... No, Natasha simply explained that the opportunity had arisen to go to Hollywood, to America, she was offered to do it... You see, despite all her crazy behavior, to put it mildly, Natalya Andreichenko is a very pragmatic person. Knows what he's doing."

Alina learned that her father was the famous Russian composer Maxim Dunaevsky at the age of nine.

Being the heroine of one of the Russian talk shows, Alina said: “I don’t understand what happened. I never wanted to interfere with him and his family, there is nothing bad in my thoughts. After my last trip to Moscow, we never really communicated anymore "I just want to see him."
Alina Spada - illegitimate daughter of Maxim Dunaevsky
Dunaevsky said about his numerous marriages and divorces: “This is character, for me divorce is not scary. Although it is very difficult to talk about this topic with a woman: “You know, dear, we need to get a divorce, something is not working out for us.” She always asks: “Don’t you love me?” And the hardest thing is to say: “You know, no, I don’t love you.” This is terrible! I understand men who find it difficult to have such a conversation. But without this it is impossible. Just hiding, running away, as many do, is probably wrong.”

Maxim Dunaevsky. Biography
Maxim Dunaevsky born January 15, 1945 in Moscow, illegitimate son of the composer Isaac Dunaevsky and ballerinas of the Bolshoi Theater Zoya Ivanovna Pashkova(1922-1991). Maxim's older brother on his father's side, Evgeniy (1932-2000), was an artist.
Maxim received his father's surname only at the age of 10, and by special decision of the Soviet state and party authorities: they nevertheless decided to take into account the fact that the boy was unusually gifted musically.
In 1965 Dunaevsky Graduated from the theoretical and composition department of the music school at the Moscow State Conservatory. P.I. Tchaikovsky, and in 1970 - the theoretical and composition department of the Conservatory in the composition class. Dunaevsky's teachers were such outstanding musicians as Nikolay Rakov, Dmitry Kabalevsky, Andrey Eshpai, Tikhon Khrennikov, Alfred Schnittke.
As Dunaevsky Jr. himself believes, the fact that he (as well as his father) became a popular composer was due to chance, luck.
“In Moscow, my father did not find any real use for himself and very quickly left for St. Petersburg - he got a job at the Satire Theater, wrote music, he was recommended to Leonid Utesov, who at that time had just organized his own Music Hall. Working with Utesov, my father wrote his first hits. When director Grigory Alexandrov conceived the idea of the film “Jolly Fellows,” Dunaevsky was advised to him as a composer of light, jazz music. And Dunaevsky brought Utesov with him, but not vice versa, as biographical researchers often present,” says Maxim Isaakovich.
Maxim Dunaevsky could well have become a composer writing academic music. But his fate was determined by a meeting with the student theater of Moscow State University " Our house" (music director of the studio from August 1964 to 1969), led by Mark Rozovsky, Ilya Rutberg and Albert Axelrod. From 1969 to 1974 Dunaevsky was conductor of the Theater. Vakhtangov; in 1974-75 - chief conductor and musical director of the Moscow Music Hall; in 1981-1985 — artistic director and chief conductor of the State Variety Orchestra of the RSFSR; in 1987 - musical director of the Theater-Studio of Musical Drama (artistic director. Yuri Sherling).
Along with symphonic, chamber and vocal works, Maxim Dunaevsky began to write music for the theater, and later for cinema and stage.
For the play by Mark Rozovsky at the Youth Theater in 1974, he wrote many songs, which were later included in the television film “D’Artagnan and the Three Musketeers” (1978, Rozovsky was the author of the script).
Dunaevsky organized his own pop ensemble, which also played rock, “ Festival"(1977-1990), collaborated as a songwriter with such poets as Leonid Derbenev, Naum Olev, Yuri Ryashentsev, Ilya Reznik , Robert Rozhdestvensky , Nikolay Denisov. The songs of Maxim Dunaevsky are an integral part of the work of Mikhail Boyarsky, Zhanna Rozhdestvenskaya, Nikolai Karachentsov, Pavel Smeyan, Dmitry Kharatyan, Lyubov Uspenskaya, Masha Rasputina, Igor Nadzhiev, Tatyana Bulanova and other performers. Among his works are a concert for piano and orchestra (1970), a cantata for a cappella choir “Old Ships” (on poems by A. Lundquist, 1970), works for chamber instrumental ensembles, sonatas, cycles of romances, choirs.
Maxim Dunaevsky is the author of music for more than 30 films. The most famous are the tetralogy " D'Artagnan and the Three Musketeers", "The Musketeers 20 years later" and "The Treasures of Cardinal Mazarin, or The Return of the Musketeers", " Ah, vaudeville, vaudeville...", "Carnival", " The Trust That Broke"," Green Van "," Mary Poppins, goodbye! ", "A Small Favor", teleplay " Boy with a sword", cartoons " Bang-bang, oh-oh-oh!", "Flying Ship" and " cat house", author of musicals " Tili-tili-dough...», « Emelino's happiness», « Three Musketeers», « In Search of Captain Grant», « Cheerful guys - 2», « The twelve Chairs" In May 2010, a new musical “Love and Espionage,” dedicated to Mata Hari, was released.
The director of “The Three Musketeers” Georgy Yungvald-Khilkevich invited Mikhail Boyarsky to play the role of Rochefort, and not D’Artagnan. He believed that the 30-year-old Boyarsky was too old for D’Artagnan, and saw in this role either the then very young Dmitry Kharatyan, or Alexandra Abdulova. But Dunaevsky insisted that Boyarsky play D'Artagnan. And his main argument - Boyarsky sings wonderfully - worked!
With this film, real fame came to Dunaevsky. The song “It’s time, it’s time, let’s rejoice!” the whole country sang. They say that once Alla Pugacheva, having again heard the lines “Where the hell have you gone, sir?”, could not stand such popularity and said: “One of two things: either let this song die, or Dunaevsky himself...”
Maxim Dunaevsky is also the author of the pop opera " Salome, Princess of Judah" Hosted a program about the operetta " With a light genre!"on the TV channel" Culture" Member of the jury of the music television competition "People's Artist".
In 1994, especially for Nikolai Karachentsov, Dunaevsky wrote 10 songs based on poems by Ilya Reznik, which were later included in the actor’s solo album “My Little Lady,” which he recorded in Los Angeles.
Dunaevsky lived in the USA for almost eight years (1992-1999), worked in Hollywood, wrote music for several films.
In 2015 Maxim Dunaevsky together with director Vasily Barkhatov, singer Zara; saxophonist Igor Butman and soloist of the Choir. Alexandrova Vadim Ananyev became a member of the jury of the All-Russian song competition “New Star”, organized by TV channel " Star"with the support of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
Maxim Dunaevsky. Personal life
Maxim Dunaevsky was married seven times. Wives: Natalia Leonova, Regina Temirbulatova, Elena Dunaevskaya, actress Natalya Andreichenko, fashion model Olga Danilova, Olga Sheronova, Marina Rozhdestvenskaya.
Son from marriage with Andreichenko Dmitriy Lived in Los Angeles, Switzerland. Illegitimate daughter Alina(born in August 1983) - in Paris, where she organized her own rock band Markize. Having become a singer, composer and author of her own songs in French, Russian and English, she made a cover version of a song from the film “ Carnival" - "Call me, call", dedicated by her father to her mother Nina Spada. In 2010, she was invited to participate in the documentary film " A sincere confession: Daddy's girls"on NTV. In 2002, Marina Rozhdestvenskaya gave birth to a daughter Polina. In addition, Dunaevsky adopted Maria(born 1995), daughter of Rozhdestvenskaya, giving her his last name.
“I was once very amorous,” admits the composer. “I married mainly for love, and when it passed, I left. And always first. Only one woman left me - Natalya Andreichenko. More often, a man matures around forty and begins to understand the value of family, wife, and children. But it could happen at 55, or maybe at 60, as it happened for me.”
According to Dunaevsky himself, he could have had fewer marriages if he had realized a little earlier that there are no ideal relationships in the family, and that marriage is not a game of roulette at all, it needs to be approached wisely. But if the composer married seven times, then he married only Marina Rozhdestvenskaya.
Maxim Dunaevsky. Social activity
Beyond creativity Maxim Dunaevsky is actively involved in social activities and charity work. He is the president of the Isaac Dunaevsky Charitable Cultural Foundation, deputy chairman of the Guild of Professional Composers, academician of the Russian National Film Academy, member of the expert council of the first television channel for selection for the Eurovision contest and the annual music program " New songs about the main thing" Highly appreciated Dima Bilan, as well as Alexandra Panayotova.
Maxim Dunaevsky about modern performers: “I don’t want to name names or comment on it in any way. I think most of them would do well to sing at the table. Singing requires great professionalism. It's not enough to be a popular figure. You have to learn this. Nowadays everyone is singing. I can say it differently: who has money. Another thing is that with the last broadcast, any mention disappears, the name and appearance of the performer, who was recently known, are erased from memory.”
On May 20, 2011 and January 17, 2015, Channel One released episodes of the program “Property of the Republic” dedicated to Maxim Dunaevsky.

Maxim Dunaevsky is considered one of the most talented Russian composers. Despite a successful creative career, there were many tragedies in the maestro’s personal life.
Dunaevsky was officially married seven times. According to him, numerous divorces were mistakes of youth. The composer believes that he could live his whole life with his former lovers.
“When you’re young, you mistake the decline in the intensity of a relationship for the end of love. But behind these women there was not only sex,” Dunaevsky emphasized.
The composer maintains good relations with his ex-wives. The famous third wife of the master, actress Natalya Andreichenko, proclaimed herself “the president of the former wives of Maxim Dunaevsky.” From his union with the artist, Maxim Isaakovich had a son, Mitya. However, Dunaevsky and Andreichenko separated soon after the birth of the heir. Natalya fell in love with another man and flew to France. Dunaevsky was separated from his son for a long time.
Andreichenko’s new husband, the famous actor and producer Maximilian Schell, helped improve relations between the former spouses. “He said that he did not understand our Russian war and improved relations with Natasha and her parents,” Dunaevsky said.
The composer also has an illegitimate daughter, Alina, from translator Nina Spada. Dunaevsky dated a woman for several years, but the relationship did not develop into an official marriage. Soon the master’s ex-lover flew abroad with her daughter. Alina was adopted by another man, Maxim Isaakovich tried to improve relations with the heiress. However, he soon realized that the girl only needed the inheritance of her famous father.
The composer's last wife was Marina Rozhdestvenskaya. The master is 28 years older than his wife.
“Marina is a very strong person. And, probably, she said to herself: “I’ll twist him, he’ll be with me all my life,” Dunaevsky noted.
In his seventh marriage, the composer had an heiress, Polina, and Maxim Isaakovich also gave his last name to his first daughter, Marina, and the girl calls Dunaevsky Papa. Dunaevsky and Rozhdestvenskaya have been together for almost twenty years, and the lovers recently got married. As the composer admitted, Marina prefers to turn a blind eye to his fleeting romances with other women. “She knows how to forgive and discard unnecessary things,” Dunaevsky noted.
