In the 1920s, Zoya meets her first love - Kirill Prove. In 1927, the almost bookish novel was interrupted by the arrest of the young man and his accusation of espionage. Following Kirill, Fedorova is taken into custody; the girl was suspected of aiding an English spy. The case was closed in November of the same year due to insufficient evidence.
After a series of failures, periods when the girl was completely cut out of pictures, it would seem that the time has come white stripe. The actress's main debut was her role in the film "Accordion" (1933). After the release of the film, the talented actress receives many offers from directors.

The production drama “Morning Trains”, the film about the Second World War “The Tunnel”, the light comedy “Literature Lesson” and the musical humorous fairy tale “The Deer King” were also very popular with viewers.
In one of the performances of Hamlet, Valentina saw the already popular actor Alexander Kaidanovsky. After the performance, they met and the amorous woman immediately became interested in the fatal handsome man, but fatal passion with constant quarrels did not give perfect union. It is Kaidanovsky who introduces Valentina to the young actor Stanislav Zhdanko, who will turn the artist’s entire life upside down.

For the first time she saw a young man, who was 12 years younger than her, on the stage of the student theater at the Shchukin School. During subsequent communication, it turned out that the young man had long been selflessly in love with Malyavina and even hung her photo in his room above his bed. Their romance was short, stormy and incredibly tragic.
The young man wanted to quickly ascend to the star Olympus, and then suddenly the role on which he was betting was taken away from him. Stanislav began to experience depression, which Valentina and her husband did not want to see, so they drowned the surrounding problems in wine.
Another evening spent drinking alcohol ended in tragedy. In 1978, Stanislav Zhdanko was found with a knife in his heart. Initially, the police considered the incident a suicide. But five years later, after repeated petitions from the mother of the deceased, the case was raised again, and Valentina Malyavina was accused of premeditated murder. The court sentenced her to nine years in prison. But neither during the investigation, nor in the courtroom, nor subsequently after the amnesty in connection with the seventieth anniversary of Soviet power, the actress did not admit her guilt and insisted on the version of suicide.
Today, the once famous actress Malyavina lives in a boarding house for science veterans, where wealthy friends were able to place her.
