For the first time in the cage to tigers Rita hit the beginningthe fifties. There was a preparation for the duplication of the main character on the set of the film “Dangerous Paths”. At that time, the girl performed in the ballet troupe with acrobatics. Acquaintance with tigers under the leadership of talented trainer Boris Eder gave birth to the idea of trying himself in a new role. The attempt was successful and became the path of life. Thus, the invitation to duplicate the actress on the set with a tiger led to the appearance of the big name "Margarita Nazarova - Trainer". The biography of the girl from birth brought her to this risky step.
Childhood little Forget-Me-Not
Born and raised girl in a happy and friendlyfamily. Mom was a teacher. Dad worked as a forester. The combination of teaching education and living in the lap of nature led to the formation of the character of Margarita. The Nazarov family had three daughters. For a long summer vacation, they were sent to the father in the gatehouse. Freedom and union with nature provided an opportunity for the flight of fantasy.
One day my father brought a little bear without a mother. This prompted Margot to the first attempt to become a trainer. But nothing happened, the bear did not obey the girl.
The desire to find a hobby for the soul soon ledgirl to ballet school. Her blond hair, heavenly-colored eyes and a slender camp created the look of an unearthly creature. Parents called the daughter Forget-Me-Not. Classes were successful. But everything ended abruptly.
Fate and war
Abrupt change began with the war.In 1941, a fifteen-year-old girl was captured. Everything happened ordinary and unexpected. Father was called to war. Mother and daughters tried to escape from the advancing fascists, moving to the rear. The elder Margarita, in search of at least some food, once went to the village. During this time, the mother and children were evacuated, and Rita was captured.
A young girl with such teenagerstransported to Germany for work. In Hamburg, the beauty pays attention to the head. Her appearance is similar to the famous actress Rita Hayworth helps to escape from the grueling slave works for the benefit of the Wehrmacht. The boss sends a copy of a Hollywood actress to work in a wealthy house servant. The mistress liked the girl. The years of captivity passed, though humiliatingly, but relatively calmly.
Через какое-то время плавность движений и the grace of the girl figure suggests the master to give the maid to the dancer. Her work in a cabaret begins. Dances continued until her release from captivity in 1945. Russian soldiers with machine guns at the ready broke into a cabaret before the start of the performance. Hearing the Russian language, Rita jumped to the liberators. Fate makes another twist.
Life with a clean slate
In the summer of 1945, Margarita arrives in Riga, wherelive mother and sisters. Father from the war did not return, was missing. Post-war life forces a young woman to hide the fact of her being in captivity. She tries to find a steady income. Using her skills, Rita creates an acrobatic number with dance elements. With this performance, they take her to work in the Circus on the Stage.
Work with a partner does not remain unchanged.Traction to animals makes itself felt. The acrobats on the stage are joined first by dogs, then by horses. Conceiving an unusual number, a circus actress masters a motorcycle. Her vertical racing becomes a sensation. Adrenaline rolls over. The audience is delighted.
But motorcycle racer soon and this is not enough.She continues to search for a vocation. The idea of subjugating the striped giants to their will leads to action. So there is the famous name "Margarita Nazarova - trainer". The biography of the tamer from this time gives the impression of a quick take-off.
Work plus family
The debut of working with tigers in the role of understudy actressprepared for long and tedious months. Mentor Boris Eder taught the habits of dangerous predators, passed on his experience. After the shooting of the film “Dangerous Paths”, he proposes to continue working together in a new attraction. An experienced tamer saw that the tigers and the student began to understand each other with a small gesture and a glimpse.
At this time there is a meeting and rapprochement withassistant coach. After some time, Konstantin Konstantinovsky becomes not only a partner in risky work, but also Margarita's husband. Their joint performances gathered notices. A tour of the cities of the Soviet Union and trips abroad brought worldwide fame. In the family of trainers was born a son Alex.
Tamer movie actress
Circus performances were not the onlyfamily hobby. After working as an understudy for Lyudmila Kasatkina in the film “The Tiger Tamer”, the opportunity arose to shoot herself. Scenarios of films where Margarita Nazarova (trainer), whose biography has become a model for many Soviet women, would be the main character, appear one after another. Especially after the words of Khrushchev N.S., that about such heroines "movies should be shot." A female police officer, animal technician or factory worker who conquered the predators of her will embodied the tale of Cinderella becoming a queen.
Everyone was infected by the story of the white voyage of the seabears on the ship. During the tour the cubs escaped from their cages. Their adventures among people distraught with fear caused laughter. It was decided to make a film on such a plot. The script was written by Victor Konetsky in alliance with Alexey Kapler. In the final version of the bears replaced by tigers. The main character was Margarita Nazarova, the tamer. Appeared by many popular film "Striped flight."
Семья дрессировщиков сумела воспитать преданность tigers from his son Alexei. After the death of the father and the ban for the mother to work with the predators (due to the injuries received by the trainer), the son inherited the family business. A few years later, Alexey Konstantinovsky went on a tour of Europe and remained abroad to live.
The secret of professional achievement
To subjugate the indomitable stripedanimals, you need a lot of patience and skill. Two types of training are commonly used: through pain or through treats. Margarita Nazarova - the trainer, whose biography speaks about the importance of using the knowledge of the character of the beast, used mainly the second method. Proximity to predators, the replacement of instincts as a result of long training with conditioned reflexes, led to surprising results. The Ussuri tigers considered her their own and submitted to this fragile woman.
Only this beautiful tiger-trainerdecided on desperate experiments with wild animals. Her extravagant room in the pool with several beasts delighted the audience. Watching the events in the water, people forgot about the danger to which a person is exposed. Tigers were playing ball, catching up, jumping and splashing like children. The pet handler's favorite is a huge beast. Punch loved to dive her patroness under the water. Putting his paw on her head, he did not let the woman go for a certain time. Then allowed to emerge.
Nazarova Margarita Petrovna was not afraid to go out withtigers to the city. She could be seen in a company with her pets in a restaurant, in a car, just outside. She belongs to the primacy of the withdrawal of a trained beast in the natural environment. Once in the wild, the tiger rushed into the thicket. The tamer is behind him. A few minutes later they returned together and continued shooting.

После прекращения выступлений с тиграми Назарова closed against the world. Husband Konstantin Konstantinovsky died a long time ago, a son abroad. The years of captivity were not in vain, and it seemed to her that surveillance was organized for her. Therefore, she reduced contacts to a minimum. Her apartment in Nizhny Novgorod has become a shelter from persecution.
She lived modestly, on a small pension.She managed to serve herself with difficulty - numerous injuries, physical and moral, had an effect. To ask, to take handouts refused flatly. She died in poverty and obscurity on October 26, 2005. They buried the trainer at the Fedyakovsky cemetery of the Nizhny Novgorod region.
