"He would not allow it". Traitor Galina Bezruk's godmother explains why she did not leave Moscow and is silent about the war

Ukrainian actress Lyubava Greshnova, who in 2017 baptized the daughter of her colleague Galina Bezruk, told why she stayed in Russia to build her career after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Born and raised in Kramatorsk, Bezruk is known to Ukrainian audiences for her leading roles in the films The Last Muscovite and House of Fortune.

According to Lyubava Greshnova, it was difficult for Galina to make a choice because her husband would not allow her to take her daughter Vasilisa out of Russia. Greshnova spoke about this in an interview with OBOZ.UA.

"We haven't been in touch since the beginning of the full-scale invasion," says Greshnova, "and I have no information about how she is living now. I know for sure that it was very difficult for her, she was worried. She couldn't make a choice - a child with a Russian passport, and her husband too. And he would not allow her to be taken away. I know that Galia loves Ukraine in her heart. I think it was a difficult decision for her to stay in Russia. I treat her with warmth and love, even though we do not communicate. We used to be family."

"Everyone in our family has a Ukrainian passport," added the actress, who left Russia with her husband, actor Mikhail Pshenychny, and son. "Katia Kuznetsova, who also left Russia, has a civilian husband who is Russian but has long lived abroad. By the way, we did not know Katia before the invasion. Of course, we crossed paths on the set, but we were not friends. And now we are very close."

Actresses Galina Bezruk and Lyubava Greshnova became godmothers on February 14, 2017, when Galina's daughter was just two months old. Bezruk is married to Russian actor Artem Alekseev. After the start of the full-scale war, the actress did not leave Russia and did not publicly condemn Russia's war against Ukraine.

Earlier, OBOZ.UA wrote that People's Artist of Ukraine Nazar Zadniprovskyi, who starred with Galina Bezruk for several years in the TV series "House of Fortune," claims that Galina chose to live in Russia because she plans to build an artistic career there. Nazar recalled the difficult conversations he had with her about this during the filming of the fourth season of the show.

"We finished the fourth season of the House on December 5, 2021. I had serious conversations with her: "Let's go home, you see how everything is escalating. Take the baby, move." For some reason, she believed that no one in Kyiv needed her. They write that she chose her family, her husband is a Russian actor. No, her family did not keep her. There were problems with her husband, she told me herself that he was looking into a glass. Galina chose to work in Moscow, and that's the reason," Zadniprovskyi is sure.
