Who was Anastasia Zavorotnyuk’s first husband and how love for her broke her heart and fate

Olaf Schwarzkopf is an ethnic German. He was born in 1959 and lived with his parents in Soviet Estonia, where he was educated and became a military pilot. Full of hope, Olaf built a career and got married, but his first marriage ended quickly and tragically – Schwarzkopf lost his wife, pregnant with his first child, due to a complication of an illness rapidly growing kidney. After that, the man was demobilized and decided to start a new life. He opened his own business, which, however, failed.

Olaf was fluent in Russian and quickly made friends. He was a member of bohemian companies and at one of those parties of the Studio Theater troupe “Snuffbox” in the early 90s met the beautiful Anastasia Zavorotnyuk, who was only 23 years old. She also came to conquer the capital, and she and Olaf quickly developed mutual sympathy, which turned into love, despite the 12-year age difference. Widowed status did not bother Zavorotnyuk – she accepted a marriage proposal from the shy, gentle and so European Olaf. Young people moved to Germany for permanent residence, but the constancy did not last long. Apparently, joint life was not at all as beautiful Anastasia dreamed and deserved, relations with her husband began to deteriorate. And one event turned this crack into an abyss – during a trip to Zavorotnyuk’s parents in Astrakhan, yesterday’s bride lost a child.

The marriage lasted a little more than a year – already in 1994 the couple filed for divorce. The actress returned to Russia, soon met the businessman Stryukov and moved to the United States. Olaf also left Germany, taking a broken heart with him.

Schwarzkopf was not destined to become famous or rich. The man moved from one Russian city to another, but did not find a place anywhere. His enthusiasm dried up, faith in himself was undermined by an unsuccessful marriage. Olaf eventually settled in Magnitogorsk. He never remarried, but the woman he dated became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter, whom she later abandoned. Now Schwarzkopf is a single father. He lives alone with his daughter in Magnitogorsk, works on a construction site and remembers the time when he was married to a woman who later became one of the most popular Russian actresses. From time to time, talk shows are interested in her fate, and at their invitation, the first husband Zavorotnyuk even came to Moscow.

“Nastya, I really want you to get better, live on, raise your daughter. I haven’t seen you in so many years, but I’m always grateful for the times we spent with you,” he said.

All these years, Schwarzkopf has followed his ex-wife’s life as a television program viewer and newsreader. He suggested that the illness that struck Anastasia Zavorotnyuk was caused by the very termination of pregnancy in Astrakhan and the ill-treatment inflicted by her second husband, Dmitry Stryukov. What he says in Olaf – truth or resentment – is unknown.
