“This is my cargo”: why Gaft blamed himself for his daughter’s death until the end of his days

Inna Eliseeva gave birth to a daughter, Olga, from the famous actor Valentin Gaft. The couple’s relationship failed not only because of the girl’s terrible character, but also because of her parents, who hated the artist with every fiber of their soul.

The fate of the heiress Gaft and Eliseeva was not easy. She committed suicide at a relatively young age.

Her parents’ divorce had a major impact on Olga’s morale. Her mother forbade her to see her father, and he in turn felt strongly attracted to his daughter.

At that time a girl lived with Eliseeva. There were constant scandals, shouts and reproaches in the house. The media wrote that the mother even raised her hand to the schoolgirl, humiliating her dignity.

“Olya was involved in her parents’ divorce through her mother. This had a negative impact on her condition. Mother was against Olya communicating with her father. They met in secret. Olya made several attempts to commit suicide. One of them turned out to be “successful”.– quotes Nikolai Tsiskaridze from the Komsomolskaya Pravda portal.

Olga tried to go to the next world more than once, but they always managed to save her. One attempt still succeeded. Arguments with his mother, the absence of his father in his life and the separation from his lover bore their “fruits”.

At the age of 29, the daughter of a Soviet actor finally committed suicide. The body was found about a day later at the dacha. In her suicide note she wrote that she could no longer ‘live in this hell’.

‘I feel guilty towards Olya. I don’t blame anyone else for what happened but myself. This is my cargo. I don’t call anyone my partner; I will bear this responsibility myself.”Gaft said for the rest of his life.
