Yakin’s childhood was no different from those who grew up in the 90s. Sasha spent a lot of time playing in the yard and visiting a choreographic studio. Then, when it was abolished, he enrolled in the children's theater. The boy turned out to be capable; within a few years, Alexander’s talent made him a leading actor.

The guy said more than once in interviews that he never thought about what profession to choose. From childhood, Sasha played and saw himself as an actor, this determined the future biography of the young man.

Biography and personal life of Alexander Yakin

The biography and personal life of Alexander Yakin is the story of a truly lucky man who knows what he wants from life and is not afraid to set high demands on himself. At the same time, Sasha was born in the dashing nineties not in the capital, but in the town of Chekhov near Moscow, and his family had nothing to do with theater or cinema.

His father, Vladimir Yakin, worked as an engineer at a factory, and his mother worked in the Chekhov city administration. Sasha often disappeared with his peers in the yard and behaved like hooligans. To channel his energy in the right direction, his parents sent him to a choreographic studio. There, a director noticed a handsome, flexible, talented and precocious boy and invited him to a children's theater studio.

With his troupe, Alexander often toured the country and won awards at festivals.

At school, Sasha got straight A's, although he often missed classes due to going on tour. The boy was loved for his artistry and desire to participate in school productions, as well as in poetry reading competitions.

Movies

Alexander Yakin participated in the filming of the films “Lord of the Puddles” and “Ark” in 2002. In the first one, he also worked in crowd scenes where there were many children.

Director Valery Akhmadov was the first to call for the filming of the leading role with a proposal for the image of a teenager in the film “Greenhouse Effect”: this was in 2005, the actor was a success with the character, and Yakin received several awards for it.

Real fame came when the new sitcom “Happy Together” was released on television in 2006 - a Russian adaptation of the American multi-part project “Married... with Children.”

In this series, Alexander Yakin got the role of Roman Bukin, a complex but witty guy living with a “crazy” family in Yekaterinburg. The short (height 165 cm, weight 60 kg) and slender young man fit perfectly into this comedic image.

The role of the father of the family was played by Viktor Loginov, and his housewife wife was played by Natalya Bochkareva. Roma Bukin is not the only child in the film family; the Bukins have a daughter, a typical dim-witted blonde, whose role was reliably played by Daria Sagalova.

In 2011, a new television project “The Eighties” was launched, and in the series the actor received the main role of student Vanya, a witness to the era of perestroika. Ivan's beloved Inga was played by Natalya Zemtsova.

The film received high viewing ratings, so its plot was extended for 6 seasons. Alexander Yakin starred until the end of the series. He also appeared in the projects “Three in Komi”, “Fizruk” and in the 2nd season of “Three in One”.

In 2012, the guy appeared on the stage of the Theater of Nations in the production “The Triumph of Love”. Alexander began to make a name for himself as a serious theater actor, landing roles in William Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew and Fyodor Dostoevsky's The Idiot.

In 2017, Yakin embodied the image of Vanya Kudryash on stage in the production of “The Thunderstorm,” an adaptation of Alexander Ostrovsky’s play “The Thunderstorm.”

Alexander Yakin currently, the series “The Eighties”

“The Eighties” is a story about life in the USSR before perestroika. On the one hand there are strict laws and rules, on the other – the wind of change. The hero of Alexander Yakin, student Vanya Smirnov, is a typical representative of the generation of the eighties. He is an exemplary student, a Komsomol member. At the same time, Vanya participates in discos, apartment parties and falls in love with a foreigner, whose behavior is far from the ideals of a Soviet person. The series is built on such contradictions.

“The Eighties” was released in 2012, and 3 seasons have been filmed so far. The series stars Maria Aronova, Alexander Polovtsev, Dmitry Belotserkovsky, Natalya Zemtsova.

Although Alexander Yakin was born only in 1990, he brilliantly played a student from the eighties. His performance in the series was highly praised by critics.

A television

For a long time, Sasha feared that the role of Roma Bukin would be disastrous for him; the audience would remember the artist exclusively in this image - such a fate befell many actors. Yakin tried his hand at television and appeared in entertainment programs.

Alexander participated in the filming of the TV shows Comedy Club, “Superintuition”, “Battle of Psychics”, “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire”, “Bulldog Show”. The actor did not become a regular at the Comedy Club, but appeared on the lists of club people compiled by film guide sites.

Torso of Alexander Yakin
Excerpts from programs with Alexander’s participation and interviews with him quickly appear on the Internet and gain thousands of views on YouTube. Interest in videos on YouTube is justified: the actor’s sense of humor attracts attention to him outside of his roles in sitcoms.

Alexander Yakin in the series “Happy Together”

Alexander Yakin began acting in the series “Happy Together” in 2006, while a schoolboy. When he agreed to participate in the project, the actor did not even think that the role of Roma Bukin would become his stamp.

Alexander Yakin and Natalya Zemtsova

“Happy Together” is a sitcom, a copy of the American series. Unexpectedly for everyone, the Russian version became very popular. The series aired for 7 years, with a total of 6 seasons filmed. “Happy Together” was also shown in Latvia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine.

The series stars Viktor Loginov, Daria Sagalova, Natalya Bochkareva. Dozens of famous actors, singers, and TV presenters participated in the sitcom as guest stars.

Alexander Yakin plays the role of Roma Bukin in the series. The boy lives with his crazy parents and illiterate sister. He himself is smart, a good student, but he has a terrible complex and can’t find a girl.

For the sake of the role of Roma Bukin, the actor had to postpone entering university. The filming was so intense that there was no time or energy left for studying. Only a year after school, Alexander Yakin entered RATI GITIS. After graduating from school, the actor began working at the Theater of Nations.

It was the role of Roma Bukin that brought Alexander wide fame. As the hero of the sitcom “Happy Together,” the actor starred in the popular series “Univer.” He said that in reality, many girls perceived him as the notorious Roma. A role in another popular series helped change the situation a little.

Personal life

The actor was targeted by the paparazzi as a teenager. Now journalists are becoming more and more interested in the artist’s personal life. To the disappointment of the press, Yakin did not become a regular at nightclubs and bohemian parties and does not please the media with numerous scandals and novels.

Alexander Yakin is one of those stars who do not like to talk about personal things. Until the end of 2020, he answered the press that he had no plans to get married in the near future.

Alexander Yakin and his wife Anna Zaitseva
However, in the winter of 2015–2016, Alexander married classmate Anna Zaitseva. The couple has been together since college. Yakin’s wife is also a member of the Theater of Nations troupe, where she performs in two performances. The young people decided to get married spontaneously. They chose the date between filming and playing in the theater, so there was no talk of a honeymoon. The newlyweds invited only a close circle of people to the restaurant.

Alexander and Anna are already thinking about children, but do not want to rush things yet. Together the artists travel in their free time. The couple prefers not to advertise their relationship, so photos of the chosen one do not appear on Yakin’s Instagram. The artist’s page is intended only for his work and personal photographs. Alexander often shows off his toned torso in photographs from seaside holidays.

Instagram and Wikipedia Alexander Yakin

He has had Alexander Yakin’s Instagram and Wikipedia for a long time, because this is how he communicates with his fans and talks about news in his life. From an article on Wikipedia you can really learn about the childhood, education, family, personal and creative life of a young man.

At least 29,000 people have subscribed to the actor’s Instagram profile and are very interested in how Roma Bukin lives in real life. Moreover, most of Sasha’s posts are devoted not to family life, but to acting in the theater, filming films, and also dogs and horses, which he simply adores.

Alexander Yakin now

Now Yakin devotes most of his creative time to working on the theater stage. In 2020, with the play “The Idiot”, which was staged in the “clownery-noir” genre, the artists of the Theater of Nations visited the Golden Mask in Omsk. Alexander, contrary to the established film role, plays in Rogozhin’s production.

In an interview with journalists, the artist said that work on the image was carried out mainly in the plastic class. Every day, the performers had to do yoga, stretching and other physical exercises before entering the rehearsal area. For the role of Yakin, a plastic drawing was invented with legs spread out like a bear. Thus, according to Alexander, he managed to compensate for his short stature and add “volume” to himself on stage.

Alexander Yakin now
The actor’s filmography for the first time after a 2-year break was replenished with the comedy sketch “In Short,” which was shown on the Super TV channel. The main roles together with Alexander in the film were played by Boris Dergachev, Konstantin Shelyagin, Daria Gomez and others.

Another work of the year is a role in Vladimir Kott’s comedy project “Without Memory.” The film is about the main character, who convinces a man suffering from amnesia that he is her fiancé.

Family and children of Alexander Yakin

The family and children of Alexander Yakin are the subject of his special pride, although it is worth mentioning right away that the young actor does not have children yet. The fact is that he is still too young and ambitious, Sasha strives to make a dizzying career and, only then, think about heirs. At the same time, Alexander admits that he is ready to receive several children at once from his beloved wife, who will certainly be artistic and bright.

It is worth clarifying that Yakin says that his children will grow up in a family where all conditions are prepared for them and where they can be provided with everything they need. And their parents must check their own feelings so that the child grows up in a full-fledged family where everyone loves each other.

Sasha’s family is his beloved parents and wife, who always support him and help him get through difficult times. It is worth noting that the partner in the “Let's go to the movies!” program young Sonechka Khilkevich is not his relative or sister. The fact is that the children consider Sasha and Sonya family, not because this is indicated in the project script, but because of the similarity of the children’s characters.

Sonya is barely sixteen years old, but she has already managed to star in several films and twenty-six television programs, and the girl is an excellent student at a gymnasium with advanced study of languages. Sasha Yakin has repeatedly stated that Khilkevich is a wonderful girl and he would like to have a sister like her. The fact is that the actor and TV presenter has no brothers or sisters, since giving birth and raising children in the nineties was very difficult.

The young man considers Dima Belotserkovsky, who starred with him in the project “The Eighties,” to be a member of his family. The guys often visit each other, selflessly support Spartak Moscow and play football themselves.

Excerpt characterizing Yakin, Alexander Vladimirovich

Nikolai expressed his displeasure to Natasha that the wedding had been postponed for a year; but Natasha attacked her brother with bitterness, proving to him that it could not be otherwise, that it would be bad to join the family against the will of her father, that she herself wanted it. “You don’t understand at all,” she said. Nikolai fell silent and agreed with her. My brother was often surprised when he looked at her. It didn't look at all like she was a loving bride separated from her groom. She was even, calm, and cheerful, absolutely as before. This surprised Nikolai and even made him look at Bolkonsky’s matchmaking with disbelief. He did not believe that her fate had already been decided, especially since he had not seen Prince Andrei with her. It seemed to him that something was wrong in this supposed marriage. “Why the delay? Why didn’t you get engaged?” he thought. Having once talked with his mother about his sister, he, to his surprise and partly to his pleasure, found that his mother, in the same way, in the depths of her soul, sometimes looked at this marriage with distrust. “He writes,” she said, showing her son Prince Andrei’s letter with that hidden feeling of ill will that a mother always has against her daughter’s future marital happiness, “she writes that she will not arrive before December.” What kind of business could detain him? Truly a disease! My health is very poor. Don't tell Natasha. Don’t look at how cheerful she is: this is the last time she’s living as a girl, and I know what happens to her every time we receive his letters. But God willing, everything will be fine,” she concluded every time: “he’s an excellent person.” At first, Nikolai was serious and even boring. He was tormented by the impending need to intervene in these stupid household matters, for which his mother had called him. In order to get this burden off his shoulders as quickly as possible, on the third day of his arrival, he angrily, without answering the question of where he was going, went with frowned brows to Mitenka’s outbuilding and demanded from him an account of everything. What these accounts of everything were, Nikolai knew even less than Mitenka, who was in fear and bewilderment. The conversation and consideration of Mitenka did not last long. The headman, the elective and the zemstvo, who were waiting in the front wing, with fear and pleasure at first heard how the voice of the young count began to hum and crackle as if ever rising, they heard abusive and terrible words pouring out one after another. - Robber! Ungrateful creature!... I will chop up the dog... not with daddy... I robbed... - etc. Then these people, with no less pleasure and fear, saw how the young count, all red, with bloodshot eyes, pulled Mitenka out by the collar, with his foot and knee with great dexterity, at a convenient time between his words, he pushed him in the ass and shouted: “Get out!” so that your spirit, you bastard, is not here!” Mityenka rushed headlong down six steps and ran into a flowerbed. (This flowerbed was a well-known place for saving criminals in Otradnoye. Mitenka himself, arriving drunk from the city, hid in this flowerbed, and many residents of Otradnoye, hiding from Mitenka, knew the saving power of this flowerbed.) Mitenka’s wife and sisters-in-law leaned out into the hallway with frightened faces from the door of the room where a clean samovar was boiling and the clerk’s tall bed stood under a quilted blanket sewn from short pieces. The young count, panting, not paying attention to them, walked past them with decisive steps and went into the house. The Countess, who immediately learned through the girls about what happened in the outbuilding, on the one hand, calmed down in the sense that now their condition should improve, on the other hand, she was worried about how her son would bear it. She tiptoed to his door several times, listening to him smoke pipe after pipe. The next day, the old count called his son aside and with a timid smile said to him: “Do you know, you, my soul, got excited in vain!” Mitenka told me everything. “I knew, Nikolai thought, that I would never understand anything here, in this stupid world.” – You were angry that he did not enter these 700 rubles. After all, he wrote them in transport, but you didn’t look at the other page. “Dad, he’s a scoundrel and a thief, I know.” And he did what he did. And if you don’t want to, I won’t tell him anything.
