Childhood and youth

Daria Charusha (nee Simonenko) was born on August 25, 1980. Soon the family moved from Norilsk to the Krasnodar region. Parents Boris and Lyubov noticed their daughter’s musical abilities early and decided to develop them further. Therefore, Dasha was taken to a local music school, where the girl successfully studied.

The teachers noted Daria's considerable abilities and agreed that the girl should continue to study music after graduation. The girl not only agreed with the teachers and parents, but she herself did not see any other future for herself.

Therefore, after graduating from school, Daria entered the Novorossiysk Music College, from which she graduated with honors. But then the unexpected happened: the girl went to Moscow and entered GITIS the first time, choosing the acting department. Simonenko took a course where Sergei Prokhanov was her mentor.

From birth to profession

Daria Borisovna Charusha was born in 1980 on August 25 in the city of Norilsk, Krasnoyarsk Territory. At birth, Dasha had the surname Simonenko; she took the creative pseudonym Charusha later. When the girl was still very young, her parents decided to move to the Krasnodar region. Dasha spent her entire childhood in Novorossiysk.

Noticing their daughter's musical talent, her parents send her to a children's music school for piano class. She had an ear for music since childhood , and after graduating from high school, she entered the Novorossiysk Music College.

Having passed her final exams with excellent marks, Dasha suddenly decides to go to Moscow and enters the acting department at the Russian Academy of Theater Arts (GITIS). Dasha Charusha is studying on the course of the People's Artist of Russia - Sergei Prokhanov and graduates in 2003.

Movies

After graduating from theater school, Daria Charusha immediately received an offer from her mentor to work at the Luna Theater. The aspiring actress agreed and appeared on stage here for 3 years. Dasha’s most notable theatrical work is an experimental musical production called “I’m Hiding.” The performance consisted of several short stories with elements of black humor.

In 2008, Charusha moved to the capital's Praktika theater, but left there without even working for a year. Daria comes to the realization that the theatrical path is not her path. At that time, the artist already had experience working in cinema.

A cinematic biography of Daria Charushi started immediately after graduating from GITIS. Charusha first appeared on screen in the melodrama “A Woman in a Game Without Rules.” This is a picture in which the girl got the role of Yulka. The second film job was offered to the young actress by Georgy Shengelia in the film “Uncontrollable Skid.” Here Daria appears in the frame much longer. The bright heroine Sveta was remembered by the audience.

In 2005, Chinese filmmakers decided to make a film based on the work “The Dawns Here Are Quiet,” for which they selected a cast from Russia. Dasha Charusha also came to the attention of the creators of the film. The girl was offered to play Zhenya Komelkova. The film consisted of 20 episodes, but for Russia the series was reduced to 6. At home, the film was received ambiguously due to a number of directorial mistakes, but some film critics noted the deep development of the characters’ characters.

Two years later, Daria Charusha appeared on the screens in Pavel Ruminov’s mystical film “Dead Daughters.” Dasha talentedly played the role of Vera, which made the audience remember her. But overall the thriller was received coolly. Both projects received diametrically opposed reviews, but made Daria a recognizable artist. Since then, offers from directors have multiplied. Soon, Charusha starred in the film “Family and Friends,” where she appeared as Olga. Then there was work in the film “Students-International”.

The projects “Hour of Volkov” and “Nobody Knows about Sex - 2” turned out to be noticeable and striking. In the last film, Daria Charusha played Nika. This sensational comedy by Alexei Gordeev brought its creators impressive box office receipts. The film “Girls”, released in the same 2008, turned out to be just as successful.

Film critics noted deep psychologism and acting skills in Dasha’s performance in the film “Domino Effect”. The heroine Masha, performed by Charusha, convincingly experiences feelings of fear and guilt at the same time.

The actress amazes with her performance. In 2009, the girl starred in 6 films. The most rated film was “Invaders”. In the story, Daria Charusha is a student at the London College of Art History, Olga, who comes to her homeland to punish the raiders who took away her business and then her father’s life.

However, the fact that they lived together for so long became a definite record for Dibrov. The actress is currently married to the director and frontman of the rock band Biting Elbows, Ilya Naishuller.

According to media reports, the reason for the breakup was that there was no love left in the couple. Dibrov regularly cheated; by the way, such a long-term relationship was a record for him at that time. During this time, they did not have children. Therefore, the parting was quiet and peaceful.
