The actress has a lot of offers, she gets to work with great zeal and enthusiasm. Apparently, this is why her roles in films are so vivid and memorable.
First roles
Shumakova received a diploma from the Shchepkinsky School in 2010. A few months later, the graduate managed to get on the set. Her debut was the short film “Pain Points” by Ivan Tvardovsky. The film attracted audience interest, but did not bring Maria popularity.
Maria Shumakova is an actress whose road to fame began with filming in TV series. In the television project “Traffic Light”, a graduate of the Shchepkinsky School embodied the image of a rescue girl. In “St. John's Wort 3” and “Krovinushka” Masha got the roles of nurses. She also starred in the TV series “Bodyguard 4.”
In 2014, a film with Maria Shumakova was finally released. In the melodrama “Boys Don't Make Happiness,” she embodied the image of a saleswoman.
Childhood and youth
Shumakova Ekaterina was born under the zodiac sign Sagittarius on December 14, 1991 in Moscow. Since childhood, she began to show interest in the stage and art. At school she took part in theatrical productions. She studied at an art school, where she achieved considerable success. I went to a dance studio.
At the age of 12, the girl and her parents attended a performance, which incredibly impressed her, and that’s when she became convinced of her desire to become an actress.
Actress Ekaterina Shumakova
After graduating from high school, Katya easily entered the Russian State Institute of Performing Arts. The girl chose the acting and directing department, the course of Yuri Mikhailovich Krasovsky.
Valery Shumakov operated until the last day of his life
His father Ivan Andreevich was a civil engineer, his mother Natalya Alekseevna was a housewife. In 1941, Ivan Andreevich went to the front. He was lucky - he went through the entire war and remained alive. And Valery lived in Moscow with his mother throughout the war years.
At school until the eighth grade, the future academic preferred volleyball to textbooks. But when it came to a subject called Human Anatomy and Physiology, everything changed. “I picked up the textbook, leafed through it, and it was as if some kind of epiphany came,” he said. “Everything was interesting to me: how difficult it turns out that a person works.”
It was then that a strong desire was born to go to study to become a doctor, and not just to become a doctor, but to become a surgeon. None of his relatives had anything to do with medicine, and one can only guess where the young man’s passion for medicine came from.
After school in 1950, he entered the 1st Moscow Medical Institute named after I.M. Sechenov, who graduated with honors. Then, in the 50s, L. Bokeria, B. Konstantinov, G. Soloviev, I. Kirpatovsky, who later became famous surgeons, studied at First Med. All of them came from the circle at the Department of Topographic Anatomy and Operative Surgery, which was headed by Academician of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences Vladimir Vasilyevich Kovanov. He noticed a capable student Valery Shumakov and invited him to graduate school. In graduate school, Valery Ivanovich continued his work on the problems of heart surgery, which he began at the institute. He developed a new method for treating one of the acquired heart defects - mitral valve insufficiency. It was so original that it attracted the attention of the famous surgeon, one of the pioneers of Russian cardiac surgery, academician Boris Vasilyevich Petrovsky. Meeting V.I. Shumakova with B.V. Petrovsky became a turning point in his future fate - he invited the young doctor to work in his academic group at the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences as a junior researcher.
Shumakov’s professional fate took another sharp turn when Petrovsky invited his student to head the kidney transplant department, which he intended to create at his institute. Valery Ivanovich recalled: “Before that, I was only involved in cardiovascular surgery and said that I didn’t know the problem of kidney transplantation at all. My teacher’s answer was laconic - if you don’t know, then you will know...”
Shumakov quickly managed to put the kidney transplant on stream, but his dream remained to perform a heart transplant.
Valery Ivanovich worked next to his teacher for about 15 years. These were the years when open heart operations were just starting, when operations with artificial circulation were introduced into the clinic. That is why he was entrusted with mastering the operation of heart-lung devices. After an internship in the USA, Shumakov was entrusted with the first independent open-heart operations. This time was the beginning of a long journey for Valery Ivanovich to realize his dream - a heart transplant.
In the early 1960s, artificial heart valves began to be used in clinics in the USSR. The first domestic developments were inferior to foreign ones, and Shumakov began creating high-quality artificial heart valves together with leading specialists from military-industrial complex enterprises. As a result, since 1963, in domestic heart surgery they began to use the method developed by V.I. Shumakov together with B.P. Zverev ball mitral valve prosthesis. Its design turned out to be so successful that it had no equal for about 20 years, until the next generation of prosthetic heart valves appeared. For this development, Valery Ivanovich in 1966 received his first of 200 invention certificates, for which later in 1978 he was awarded the honorary title: Honored Inventor of the RSFSR. In 1965, Shumakov defended his doctoral dissertation on the topic “Heart valve replacement.”
In 1966-1969, he headed the laboratory of the artificial heart and assisted circulation of the Scientific Research Institute of Clinical and Experimental Surgery of the USSR Ministry of Health. In 1969-1974, Shumakov served as head of the department of transplantation and artificial organs. Since 1974, he was director of the Research Institute of Transplantology and Artificial Organs of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation.
A general cardiac surgeon, Valery Shumakov is one of the founders of domestic clinical transplantology; for the first time in the country, he successfully performed a heart, liver and pancreas transplant, as well as a two-stage heart transplant.
The first heart transplant ended in failure - the transplanted organ worked well, but the patient's kidneys failed. Doctors who had no experience in treating such patients took a long time to decide how to carry out therapy, and were late. After this, as Shumakov said, he was “hinted from above that there might be trouble if there were further failures.” The second operation was the first successful. The next day there was a phone call from the ministry, and then the inspectors arrived. “They started asking me. I said: “Why ask? Come and see." They changed one deputy minister’s clothes and took him to the box to the patient, who could already speak. When he left there, he immediately called the Central Committee and reported everything. After hanging up, he said that I was congratulated on a successful operation. I thought to myself: what if she was unsuccessful?”
Shumakov remembered this first patient, Shura Shalkova, well: “The girl came to our institute from the Arctic Circle. She was about thirty years old. And my health was critical: my heart could fail at any moment. After the operation, Shura got married and lived for almost ten years.”
A complete list of his awards would take up a lot of space, here are just the main milestones of Shumakov’s career: USSR State Prize, Order of Merit for the Fatherland, III degree, international award of Academician B.V. Petrovsky “Outstanding Surgeon of the World”, Russian Government Prize in the field science and technology for the development and implementation of heart transplantation into clinical practice. He is the author of three scientific discoveries, 17 monographs and more than 450 scientific papers. The name “Surgeon Valery Shumakov” was assigned to a star in the constellation Scorpio.
Valery Shumakov had many students. Now this school includes 50 doctors of science and over 120 candidates of science, it is represented by various specialists (medics, biologists, engineers, mathematicians and physicists) in different regions of Russia and neighboring countries.
Valery Shumakov has five grandchildren. His wife, Natalya Mikhailovna, who worked as an anesthesiologist for many years, is now retired. Daughter Olga is an art critic and works at the Tretyakov Gallery. Son Dmitry followed in his father’s footsteps, became an excellent surgeon and now heads the department at the Research Institute of Transplantology and Artificial Organs.
By Shumakov’s own admission, in his work he always walked on the edge of the possible, adhered to his motto: “Forward and not a step back!” In life I loved excitement and speed, but I never got behind the wheel in a car: “I have enough risk at the operating table!”
As the director of the Scientific Center for Cardiovascular Surgery named after. A.N. Bakuleva Leo Bokeria, “he himself was very kind by nature. Cheerful, subtle. With a very developed sense of humor. Very hospitable. And the person to whom they were drawn.”
The famous surgeon’s work schedule was intense until the very end. It is advisable to operate, he said, every day, minus Saturday and Sunday: “Sometimes there is a sanitary day when we do not operate. But these empty days are often compensated by overnight transfers. It’s impossible to create a schedule for transplantations: the operation has to happen when donor organs arrive.”
Valery Shumakov’s student, head of the kidney and liver transplantology department at the Moscow Research Institute of Transplantology and Artificial Organs, Yan Masyuk, said that Shumakov was in the clinic until the last day. “He died suddenly, he died in his clinic. Just recently he operated. Just a few days ago. And when he couldn’t operate, he was worried about how the operations were going,” Masyuk said.

Biography and personal life of Maria Shumakova
The biography and personal life of Maria Shumakova has been of interest to lovers of Russian cinema for some time. She plays in films, delighting fans and professionals.
The baby was born a few days before the New Year holidays in the late 80s of the last century. A large Siberian city, Novosibirsk, became Mashenka’s hometown. The father had gypsy roots, the mother had Jewish roots. The girl herself calls herself a real citizen of the Russian Federation. This is what makes Shumakova incredibly proud, which she talks about in her interviews.
From a young age, Mashenka was excellent at horseback riding. She often performed stunts. The girl skied, fenced and swam like a mermaid. Every day she found time to exercise.
The future actress easily learned to speak English and Serbian. The baby also mastered the Gypsy language and Jewish Yiddish. Subsequently, she also mastered German and French. Maria still dreams of learning to speak some eastern language, but she hasn’t decided on any yet. It will most likely be Chinese or Hindi.
Already from the age of 5, Mashenka began to sing well. She prepared a song for each holiday in her performance, drawing thunderous applause from those present. The girl performed compositions in various genres. She especially liked to sing folk and pop songs.
From the age of 6, Masha began acting in various theater productions. She invariably stated that she would become a star of Russian cinema in the future. For many years, the girl walked towards her goal.
It was no secret to anyone that Maria would become an artist. But the first pancake turned out to be lumpy. It didn’t work out to become a student in my native Novosibirsk. Shumakova herself says that she did not feel confident in herself. This led to failure in the entrance exams.
My parents advised me not to waste a year and enroll in another university. The girl did not follow their advice. She attended classes with a professional stage speech teacher for several months, and then set off to conquer the Russian capital metropolis.
Shumakova managed to conquer the selection committee of three theater institutes at once. She decided to stop at the Shchepkinsky School. For several years, the artist’s talent was honed by teachers, to whom Maria is incredibly grateful. The student performed in “The Humiliated and Insulted,” “The Quiet Flow of the Flow,” “The Master and Margarita” and many other student theater productions.
Success came to our heroine at the beginning of 2010. She regularly began to appear in various films.
Maria does not hide her personal life. She lives with Artyom Dertev.
Single or free: actress Maria Shumakova wrote an essay about the status of “single”
And I really love and respect men in general. I have a clear patriarchal pattern inside me, cultivated since childhood. However, I proudly call myself single (sometimes singing a Beyoncé song) and live my happy, free life perfectly. I am an independent girl: I am engaged in my favorite profession, I earn quite good money and I love to sleep alone, sprawled on my vast bed.
My so-called “loneliness” most of all worries complete strangers: taxi drivers who ask about my marital status, my grandmother-concierge who is terribly concerned about my personal life, classmates who unexpectedly rise from their distant Siberian childhood on social networks, as well as those wise from everyday experience elderly artists on the set... And all these people, as one, sooner or later utter the catchphrase: “It’s time for you to give birth!”
In this “you will give birth” is all the sorrow of the Jewish people. Here you get pity, rage, and, of course, condemnation. In general, all kinds of Shakespearean passions. For a while this irritated me terribly. But what can you do, in Russia people still have a lack of sense of tact. Then a stable immunity to stupid questions arises.
I prefer to replace the word “loneliness” with the word “freedom.” I'm not a lonely girl, I'm free. And this is perhaps the most beautiful thing that can happen.
What does it mean to be free?
Firstly, this is a wonderful opportunity to be responsible solely for yourself (and possibly your dog). Being in a couple, we, one way or another, begin to sympathize with our other half, share adversity and other troubles.
My nice friend Vika, smart and beautiful, fell head over heels in love with a young businessman. As a potential wife of a Decembrist, Vika abandoned her life in the capital and rushed to Oleg in Yekaterinburg to love and be loved. Realizing that Vika was a great specialist, Oleg soon laid his next bankrupt factory on her fragile shoulders, calling it all a “family business,” and flew to another city “to expand the network and look for investors.” For six months, Vika dutifully carried the rather frail family business on herself, also apologizing for Oleg’s rash actions to his business partners. As a result, Vika could not bear responsibility for Oleg’s hysterical actions, even though his madness was presented with the words “we are family” - the business collapsed, and so did the relationship. For my dear friend, all this ended in a nervous breakdown and constant visits to a psychologist.
Our problems are entirely our own doing, and it is quite easy to find solutions without experiencing the enormous stress of being responsible for someone else. After all, when you are free, you control your life and actions.
The second beauty of solo sailing is absolute freedom of movement. You can break loose at any moment - with anyone, anywhere, without explaining anything to anyone. You don’t have to respond to constant text messages: “What? And where? And with whom?" You are absolutely protected from jealousy. The best part is that you can safely leave for six months, a month, a year, and doubts a la “what about my sweetie?”, “how will I leave him?”, “won’t Tom’s neighbor take him away?” you are not afraid. You can truly understand the world around you - without unnecessary thoughts clogging the air.
Recently, while traveling with two friends who are in relationships, I observed a remarkable sight. Sonechka and Marinochka were constantly in a state of terrible stress. Sofia arranged scenes of jealousy for her beloved Pavlik via SMS, Marina conducted Skype conferences with the jealous Armen 24/7. According to the Armenian boyfriend, she managed to devote herself to literally the entire staff of our hotel, and undoubtedly, his beloved’s suitcase porters were held in special esteem. As a result, of the three of us, only I rested.
Third. Many guys have a habit of prohibiting everything: you can’t go out for a long time with your girlfriends, you can’t wear shiny tights, you can’t smoke, you can’t, you can’t, you can’t. My ex had an absolutely manic idea: he forbade me to eat sweets, even in the smallest portions.
One morning my ex-boyfriend said: “The most unsexy thing that can be is chocolate porridge.” I have since forgotten about my favorite treat, although... later about the guy too.
Freedom is a unique opportunity to listen to yourself. Most women, when entering into a relationship, dissolve in the men they love. I call this “darling syndrome,” according to Anton Pavlovich Chekhov. One of my beloved relatives surpassed everyone in this sense! Along with each newfound love, Verochka certainly changes her calling in life: together with Misha, she sold cars, the conductor Alexey gave her a job as an administrator in the theater, and the unemployed Seryozha plunged her into laziness and self-forgetfulness.
Instead of whining, “Oh my God! I’ll die an old maid,” you can safely take care of yourself - finally put on mouthguards, go to sports, start drawing pictures, or, as a last resort, jump with a parachute. Personally, after the breakup, I had a lot of free energy, and I wrote an entire music album.
And here we sing and rehearse songs: about seagulls, the Atlanta boy and other things “not experienced in vain.”????By the way, are you going to listen to me on the 21st at @mtbarmoscow?????
I really want there to be a lot of us! (I even make a wish when the clock is at 11:11⏱) And admission, by the way, is completely free.???? A post shared by Masha Shumakova (@shumakova_masha) on Jan 17, 2017 at 12:28am PST
My friend Vika, under the same conditions, lost 15 kilograms and learned French, my colleague Alina learned to ride a motorcycle and finished renovating her apartment. Of course, all this requires effort, internal work, and time. But we all want to meet the Prince of Monaco next time, and as a rule, like attracts like. So teaching is light.
And now about one of the most pleasant advantages of single status - dating. You can take a walk here! After about a month of free life, you realize that in Moscow (and in any other city) there are a huge number of free guys.
I am not a supporter of free sex and I believe that your precious feminine energy should be protected. Nevertheless, you can always just have a good time together - have dinner, text, listen to music, thereby sublimating your restless feminine energy (although here, of course, the question of openness and a positive - oh, this is a well-worn word! - attitude arises). The key word is communication. Do not discuss your future wedding and the number of children you would like to have. And simple, pleasant human communication. Moreover, with the advent of wonderful mobile applications, finding an interlocutor is easier than ever.
And finally, being free, you can understand what you want.
The problem with many women is that they choose the wrong men.
My wonderful friend Katerina has a rich imagination and periodically “completes” men for herself. One day she met a guy. Judging by his crooked posture and the worn elbows on his jacket, it was, in general, obvious that he was content with little and was not on the same path with the maximalist Katya. Gennady parked the car in the parking lot and covered the number with a piece of paper so as not to pay; didn’t pay for Katya’s coffee; I got up at noon and lived with my mother. Infected by Katya’s optimism, Gennady set out to earn millions and certainly give his beloved all the blessings of the world, and in the evenings, while his mother was at the dacha, he dreamily chose what kind of car he would give Katya (to which she coyly winced: “Ah! Bentley is off!”) But a month passed, then another, and nothing changed in Gena’s life. One fine day, while buying water for Katerina, Gena nervously grabbed his pocket and said: “However! Two hundred rubles per bottle!” Katya's patience ran out and she ran away to her happy, free home.
With men it’s like with food: we want hummus, but we order lemon pie and then wonder for a long time where the tart bean flavor is. Men don't change, so you need to clearly understand what qualities are important to you. And you need to develop this understanding while you are in free flight.
Don't get me wrong, I am for relationships, marriage, family and other delights of life. But I don’t want to be with an even more or less handsome guy, because this pleases the concierge, colleagues, taxi drivers, my married friends and, as it were, should save me from the terrible word “loneliness.” I am selective and want to meet my man, but while he is looking for me, I will remain free a little longer.
