It was to her, passionately adored and needed "to the gnashing of teeth", he wrote letters from the front line, it was dedicated to her that the poem "Wait for me" flew over all fronts, which was copied and stored on the chest by soldiers.

There is a love that, despite its depth and sincerity, brings burning pain and disappointment. That feeling for a journalist and a poet.
Valentina Vasilievna was born on December 23, 1917, in the territory of the present Kharkiv region (Ukraine). Early and successful experience of playing on the stage led the girl to the Central College of Theatrical Art, after which she was invited to the Theater of Working Youth (TRAM). In 1938, Valentina married the legendary pilot Anatoly Serov: in 1937, this courageous and handsome man bravely fought in Spain, in 1938 received the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. Valentina and Anatoly were a stunning, delightful couple, but the happiness of a young woman was cut short by a “blind” training flight: in May 1939 Serov dies, not living four months before the birth of his only son, Anatoly Anatolyevich. At that time, the whole country knew actress Serova as a heroine. Girl with Character . So straightforward and uncooperative, I recognized her and Simonov. He long sought reciprocity adored woman, but even agreeing to become his wife did not smooth out their difficult relationship. Valentina loved, hopelessly, Marshal Rokossovsky. Even giving birth to Simonov’s daughter Masha, she belonged to her husband almost conditionally. For Simonov, tired of mental suffering, came once a moment of sobering - he divorces Valentina and marries another, while removing the initiations of Serova from all his poems, except the cherished "Wait for me." For Valentina, accustomed to his love as air, the break with Konstantin Mikhailovich was another step in the abyss. For some time Serova was saved by work: after "Girls with character" successful for Valentina Vasilievna became films
Hearts of Four Wait for me,
"Glinka" (For the last time, she won the Stalin Prize.) But internal discord, unfulfilled dreams and depression led the actress to a tragic choice: she began to abuse alcohol, and, of course, to go into the shadows - the main roles in cinema and theater she sank, offered less and less.
The filmography of Valentina Vasilievna ends in 1973: the last picture with her participation was called
The Children of Vanyushin" . Two years later, all alone, Serova dies. At the fateful moment, there was no one nearby who could warm her with warmth, say goodbye “sorry.” The actress was found dead in her apartment, she died in the night from 10 to 11 December 1975. /
