One day his wife Dorothea buried the former husband Kiril Marichkov and her death took the current one

What a terrible day for Dorothea Voleva, formerly Marichkova!

On Tuesday, October 15, at noon, she buried her first husband – the musician Kiril Marichkov, who died after falling from the stage in the village of Selanovtsi, where he was supposed to perform with his group “The Foundation”.

On the same day, director Nikolay Volev – Dorothea’s current husband – fell from the attic window of the four-story cooperative and died on the spot.

Nikolay Volev finds his death ridiculous. He set out to set a trap for pigeons on the ledge of the cooperative at 5 Krakra Street in the capital.

It is believed that the director stepped on an old board, lost his balance and flew from the four-story condominium. He suffered a severe brain injury, so it is assumed that he fell on his head. He also had polytrauma. Both injuries are incompatible with life.

Shortly before his death, Volev and his wife Dorothea made plans for an excursion abroad, even had a reservation.

Volev is the third famous man to die after a fall in recent weeks. The first was Ivan Garelov, who fell down the stairs of a restaurant in Saint Vlas. Marichkov followed him, and now Volev.

Let’s remember that in 2006, director Ivan Andonov flew from the fourth floor of his attic at the corner of “Rakovski” and “Khan Asparuh” streets.

He falls flat on his back on the tin roof of an outbuilding next to the apartment building and escapes with only minor injuries.

“God will not take me home”, he said then to his wife Lyuba, who is Kiril Marichkov’s sister.

Six years after this ordeal, God still called Ivan Andonov to him, and the two must have talked about cinema and painting. In addition to being a director and actor, Andonov was also an artist.

Nikolay Volev was born in Sofia on April 10, 1946. In the turmoil of the Prague Spring in 1968, he managed to escape to England. In 1972 he graduated in film direction at the London Film School.

Writer and screenwriter Svoboda Bachvarova played a very important role in his life. She promises to help him start working as a director at the Cinema Center if he returns to Bulgaria.

From London he sends her ideas and scripts for films. She knows about his interests and that England’s oldest school doesn’t admit random people.

Volev returned to Bulgaria between 1972 and 1976 and filmed documentaries for BNT, of which he was the screenwriter and director.

Svoboda Bachvarova likes Volev’s first films. But she is upset with him when he refuses to make a film based on her script. It is about the TV series “The Lottery”, filmed later by Ivanka Hrabcheva.

Volev explained his refusal by the fact that he had other work plans, not that he did not respect the screenwriter.

Nikolay Volev has shot six feature films, one TV series and nine documentaries. He is an actor in four films.

He directed “The Double”, “Master for a Day”, “To Love Stubbornly”, the remake of “The Goat’s Horn” in 1994 and “Margarit and Margarita”, etc.

His last film “Off the Road” with Anya Pencheva and Deyan Donkov in the lead roles was released in 2017.

After the premiere, Pencho Kovachev did a long interview with Volev.
