Life and accomplishments

Valentina Sorogoschskaja was born as Valentina Michailowna Chilowa in Odessa, Ukraine, her father was a captain . Because she had her mother's family name , she may have been born out of wedlock.

Chilowa occasionally attended the Odessa School of Choreography , but did not graduate. In 1935 she entered the acting school of the Mossoviet Theater and then trained at the school of the Moscow City Theater . Here the young actress, who already had the pseudonym Sorogoschskaja , was discovered by employees of the Soyuzdet film studio and invited to an aptitude test. She was able to convince those responsible and received a supporting role in the drama Шел солдат с фронта ( Schel soldat s fronta , 1939) directed by Vladimir Grigoryevich Legoshin and in Alexander Rous' fairy tale film The beautiful Vasilisa (1940), where she is the female Gave main role . However, her career was interrupted by the birth of her son Valentin on September 9, 1940. His father was reportedly an acrobat for the Nikitin circus . Shortly thereafter, Sorogoschskaja married Fyodor Sergejewitsch Sedych (1901–1971), the deputy director of the House of Composers , a concert hall subordinate to the composers' association. Sedych, who already had two sons, adopted Valentine and also gave him his father and family name. During the evacuation in Sverdlovsk in 1942, their daughter Irina was born. Sorogoschskaja performed with the local Philharmonic Society until August 15, 1946 , after which she and her husband decided to go on a tour together . While the children lived with Sorogoschskaja's mother in Odessa, the couple performed in various cities in the Soviet Union, where they gave lectures on artistic subjects and anecdotes from their own work. The performances were concluded with the performance of The beautiful Vasilisa . Both received great approval from the audience and critics. During this time, however, Sorogoschskaja's mother died. Valentin was housed in an orphanage in Sverdlovsk from April 1, 1948 to June 20, 1949 , while Irina accompanied her on the tour from then on. On September 6, 1947, Sorogoschskaya gave birth to a son named after his father. In the late 1940s, the couple received small accommodation in Moscow so that the family could be reunited.

As Fyodor grew up, Sorogoschskaya planned to return to her former job and was also invited to several photo ops, but her husband's jealousy stood in the way. Ultimately, the couple split in the early 1950s. She then appeared from 1952 to 1954 for the theater collective of the House of Cultural Cooperation in Howard Fast's Thirty Pieces of Silver , Lev Tolstoy's The Living Corpse and Maxim Gorky's Wassa Schelesnowa . In 1954, the dark-haired mime married the actor Yevgeny Yefimowitsch Teterin (1905–1987) and retired again into private life. Teterin bought a two-room apartment for the family, while Valentin stayed in the former apartment. He attended the Moscow State Technical University "NE Bauman" , but dropped out early. From an early marriage there was a son. The young man temporarily earned his living as a zookeeper in a circus, but his dream of having his own circus act never came true. After his second wedding and the birth of another son, Valentin Sedych tried his hand at writing a screenplay , but failed here too. Eventually he lost both sons, began to drink and died in 2015. His younger brother Fyodor worked as a projectionist and died in 2013, as did Valentin later, of the effects of alcohol. Irina Sedych became an interpreter , married a Frenchman and moved with him to his homeland.

Valentina Sorogoschskaja was able to maintain connections to the film business through her marriage to Yevgeny Teterin and was regularly invited to anniversary events for The Beautiful Vasilisa until Alexander Rou's death . The marriage with Teterin turned out to be harmonious despite the different characters of both. After he suffered a stroke , she looked after the severely disabled man until his death , whom she only survived for about a year. At her own request, her daughter-in-law Ondelka Djulovna, Valentin's second wife, had her body cremated and buried in the Domodedovo cemetery. The urns of Valentin and her two grandsons, who died in 1996 and 2006, were also placed in the grave.
