Maya Menglet died at her Melbourne home. She lived in Australia for 20 years. She spent the last days of her life surrounded by loved ones, children and grandchildren.

Actress Maya Menglet is associated primarily with the film by Stanislav Rostotsky “It was in Penkovo”, where she played the young cattle specialist Tonya Glechikova, with whom the tractor driver and the first village boy Matvey Morozov, played by the handsome Vyacheslav Tikhonov. , fell in love.

After the release of the film on the screens, 22-year-old Menglet woke up famous. It seemed that his film career would turn out brilliant, but in the end, in his entire creative life, he starred in about two dozen films that could not repeat the success of the film “It was in Penkovo.” Menglet worked at the Moscow Theater. Stanislavsky, served in it for more than 40 years. And suddenly, in the early 2000s, she broke down and went with her husband, People’s Artist Leonid Satanovsky, to Australia. Her departure was spontaneous.

The youngest son, Dmitry, is a doctor of sciences, a chemist, emigrated to Australia in the 1990s. Menglet-Satanovsky moved in with her children and grandchildren, although they were not leaving Russia forever. The first time she was very boring. We hoped to return.

It was difficult to adapt abroad, they did not know English, there was no work. But little by little life got better. They have a separate apartment in Melbourne. They no longer needed money. They were invited by the First Russian Drama Theater of Canada and there they performed the entire classical repertoire. They performed at the Gesher Theater in Israel, as long as the force allowed. But with age, it became more difficult to carry out long-distance flights. In 2015, Leonid Satanovsky died, with whom Maya Menglet lived for more than 50 years. She survived her husband by 8 years…
