Without a doubt, Evita Peron was one of the most famous women of the twentieth century.This woman, the will of fate ascension to the top of the political Olympus, different fair vanity and prudence, but nevertheless the people of Argentina are literally worshiped her.... Love of Evita at home is jealous, and incorruptible.Even today, when daring to play a role in the film Evita, a notorious singer Madonna arrived in Argentina, it threw rotten eggs.
She was born May 7, 1919 in a poor village Los Toldos near Buenos Aires.Father of Maria Eva, as they called the girl, owned a small plot of land, his mother worked as a maid in wealthy families.As with her other children, Eva was illegitimate.When she was fourteen, the girl escaped to Buenos Aires, hoping to become a famous actress and conquer the world.According to some reports, it was accompanied by a visiting artist fashionable tango - her first lover.
According to numerous biographers, the young Evita was engaged in street prostitution, although not for long.Meeting with the first solid client changed her life: Eva began to choose only the wealthy and influential men.So step by step, she treads the path to the supreme light of Argentine society.
With the support of one of the fans of the beautiful work on the radio, where he soon became a leading actress.Here, among other things, it began broadcasting with the eloquent title "Five minutes for the people."Evita, who was able to speak with a true sense of the hard life of the poor, has become very popular.
parallel, she posed for pornographic magazines ... (later destroyed it).Realizing the benefit from getting to know the producers, journalists and photographers, Evita became lovers to choose their representatives in these professions only.
So ten years ago.In 1944, Eva met a promising politician Juan Peron - while he led the Argentine government the Ministry of Labour and Social Security.He tried to do everything possible to alleviate the situation of the workers: the majority of enterprises of the country have been introduced annual paid holidays, bonuses for Christmas and national holidays, as well as a number of other benefits.
Peron's efforts were not in vain, and he soon became the darling of Argentine workers.But then there was another coup, and he was arrested.Peron began to think about how to get away from politics.Not allowed Eva: not for it to break into the higher realms ... She insisted that Juan Domingo threw the head of seditious thoughts: "You need people!" And the people proved it - made a general strike.A week later, Peron was released.
To strengthen its position in the upcoming presidential election, he decided to divorce his lawful wife (second in a row; the first died before the war) and marry his mistress, Eva Duarte, who was younger than his twenty-four years.In 1945, Peron finally managed to convince the church, which at that time did not recognize divorce, to make an exception for him, and bless his marriage with Evita (according to other sources, the marriage remained civil).
becoming wife of Peron, Evita vigorously set about to destroy all evidence of their wild youth.It is no accident almost all that is known about her life before marriage is based only on rumors and gossip.
Eva took over the duties of "director" of the election campaign, and did it perfectly.It is always and everywhere been in the forefront, personally handing out money and food.People adored her.In 1946, Argentina held a presidential election, a brilliant won by Colonel Juan Domingo Peron, a supporter of the ideas of National Socialism.The new president and his wife tried to convince citizens that the country will soon come other times - peace and prosperity.Thanks to populist decisions Peron won the extraordinary appreciation of the people, all his actions were supported and approved.
Even in the early years of her husband's Evita made "equal" exchange received from the Nazis in exchange for political asylum in Argentina, gold and valuables looted in different countries.Moreover, in these years, it has actively withdraw money from businessmen and landowners, by investing heavily in what was called "the largest in the history of vzyatochnym Fund."It was used to bribe influential persons and carrying out well-publicized charitable campaigns.Evita really helped build schools, feeding the hungry and opened shelters for the homeless.She did her husband name, and currently extracted popularity.Elite hated her, and people called "holy" and "fair."
huge amount of money collected was distributed by people who answered only to Evita.Its emissaries traveled to all factories, shops, construction sites, collecting contributions.According to experts, Evita stole from the fund 100 million dollars and put them on the secret accounts in Swiss banks.In Buenos Aires, she has built a luxury residence in antique style.
Soon Evita became virtually run the country without taking any official position in the government.Like her husband, she was as greedy as they are vain.Newspapers that have not paid enough attention to its magnificent balls and distinguished guests, suddenly found that paper stocks and replenish their depleted nothing.Having won cheap popularity among the lower classes, it has not been accepted in high society.
One wife of President invited the women and children from across the country, to young Argentines received from her gifts.Police had to disperse the crowd of thousands later, and at least two mothers returned home without their children who died in the stampede.
luxury and wealth of the presidential couple in sharp contrast to the poverty mostly Argentines.In 1951, the political power of Juan and Evita shaken.In the elections of 1951, when Peron offered to elect the vice-president of his wife, both were disappointed.Despite the fact that many still believed in the goodness Evita, it was nevertheless too.On the walls appeared mocking slogan: "Long live Peron, a widower!" Other works "wall painting" Evita portrayed in the nude, striding, like Gulliver, through the mass of the Lilliputians.Juan Peron had to yield to the pressure of the church and the military, and his wife's name from appearing on the ballot.Evita has officially refused to accept the proposal of the Confederation of Labour put forward his candidature for the post of vice-president, and appealed to the people with the following words:
«I was not there at the moment no personal ambition but one: when will write a worthy Peron wonderful chapter in the historycountry, let recall that near Peron was a woman who devoted herself to deliver to the aspirations of his people;a woman whom people affectionately called Evita.That is all what I wanted to be. "
In 1952 Evita died of cancer.She was only thirty-three years.Dying in terrible agony, surrounded by relatives and companions in the struggle, she gave instructions on how to embalm her body, and precise instructions about his posthumous toilet, hair and makeup."Die for Peron!" - Called on it in his last speech.Evita's embalmed body is in the coffin - on her will - put up for public review at the headquarters of the trade unions.It was her farewell show ...
untimely death prevented the fall in popularity of Evita in the eyes of citizens.On her death she grieved the whole Argentina and the streets of Buenos Aires, filled with hundreds of thousands of Argentines who came from different parts of the country to pay tribute to this woman.
when Evita died, her cult took new forms of deification.In life, it was called a symbol of social justice, and after his death was announced intercessor before God.Unions appealed to the Vatican asking ... Evita canonize as a saint.But Pope denied them diplomatically.The Vatican said that he knew charity work of Eva Peron, but there is no information about her spiritual heroism in the name of the church ...
After retiring from life, Evita remained in the memory of their devastated admirers beautiful lady in furs and diamonds, not power-loving wife of dictator, which is notwithout its help deprived his people of wealth, he led the nation to the edge of bankruptcy, forcing the innocent victims of groan under torture in filthy prisons.
After the death of his beloved wife Peron fell in prostration, life for himself if over.Meanwhile arrived another coup, and Peron went into exile.A Dorval to power the first thing the junta pulled the body of Evita's coffin and buried away from Argentina - in Italy.
At home the Argentines were allowed to see how they actually lived "just" Evita.For the general public portals opened its amazing palace.
«It was a spectacle that would have overshadowed the Aladdin's cave - wrote the correspondent of" Daily Express ", once visited untold wealth of the deceased wife of Argentine ex-president.- Glass shelf tier for tier reflect the brilliance exhibited treasures, which were estimated at two million pounds ... I saw at least four dresses - all magnificent style and all the insanely expensive.And experts estimate that Evita had so many pairs of shoes that they would be enough for four hundred years.All jewelry, clothing and paintings, believed to be - this is only part of what Peron and his wife purchased in less than ten years in power.The Government believes that much of the wealth they have flown to Switzerland.Peron once said: "The only jewel that I ever gave my wife, it was an engagement ring."
These events, they happen in any other part of the world, rather than in Latin America, and that would have ended.However, in 1973, after nearly twenty years of exile, Peron returned to power with his fourth wife (a former dancer) ... and the mummy of Evita.
In 1974, aged Argentine dictator died, passing the reins of Isabel Peron.It is around trying to be like Evita: repainted in the golden blonde, wore the exact same hairstyle as that of the late wife of Peron.But the scale of corruption has surpassed both - and her husband, and his previous wife.Even with her husband, she managed to become vice-president.Moreover, after the death of Peron automatically took his presidency.But most of the Argentines did not take Isabel, calling it a "cheap" and "fake."
arrested in 1976 after removal from the post of president, Isabel was accused of stealing millions of dollars intended for charitable purposes.Accused of embezzling money and using state property for personal gain, Isabel was imprisoned and came out in 1981, after serving two-thirds of schedule.
Love for Evita is jealous, and incorruptible.Even today, when daring to play a role in the film Evita, a notorious singer Madonna arrived in Argentina, it threw rotten eggs.
