BIOGRAPHY
Ruslan Yagudin was born into a simple Moscow family.
In his youth, he was seriously involved in football, playing at the Dynamo school. And he was about to enter the professional level when he was injured. I had to give up sports. At first, Ruslan did not think about an acting career, although his older brother studied at GITIS. But then I decided to try it anyway - and I really got carried away. It was not possible to get into the budget right away, but on the third attempt Yagudin entered the Theater School named after. Shchukin on the course of P. Lyubimtsev.
Later, the actor, who grew up in a not very prosperous area, admitted that his choice of profession greatly influenced him. “I was able to radically change my position in life,” notes Ruslan.
The childhood of Ruslan Yagudin
Ruslan Yagudin was born into an ordinary metropolitan family.
His parents were not connected with the world of cinema or theater. So, the mother of the future actor, Rosa, worked at the Moscow travel and excursion bureau. But the older brother Robert graduated from the acting department of GITIS. Perhaps it was he who gave Ruslan the idea of becoming an actor, although the boy himself had been interested in the world of cinema since childhood and dreamed of learning the hidden, inner life of cinema. Ruslan also had other interests. As a teenager, he played football professionally and played at the Dynamo children's school. The coach saw in him the makings of a serious athlete, but after an injury he had to forget about his football career. It was then that Ruslan remembered his second hobby - cinema. Despite his almost marginal environment (Ruslan grew up in Tekstili, a well-known working-class and criminal district of Moscow), the guy made the right choice and applied to the theater institute.

The first two attempts were unsuccessful and, although it was possible to enter the paid department, Ruslan made a third attempt, because he was determined to enter the budget department. Only in 2003, the persistent guy became a student at the Boris Shchukin Theater Institute, where he began his studies under the guidance of Pavel Lyubimtsev. After 4 years, the desired diploma was in his hands.

The actor took on the role of a policeman, who is also the young man of Yulia Kuzmina, a straightforward and brave girl.

Movies
The creative biography of Ruslan Yagudin began on the stage of the MOST Theater. Here the aspiring artist made his debut in the play “Invincible Armada”, playing the role of an officer. Later, as a guest actor, Ruslan appeared on the stage of the Yevgeny Vakhtangov Theater, where he played in the productions of “The Tsar’s Hunt” and “Mademoiselle Nitouche”. And then he appeared at the Art-Voyage 21st Century theater.
The debut on the screen took place in 2001. Ruslan Yagudin, like most beginning actors, initially played in episodes. For the first time, viewers saw him in the projects “Detective with a Bad Character”, the 2nd season of “Happy Together”, “Lyuba, Children” and “On Verkhnyaya Maslovka”.
Today, the filmography of actor Ruslan Yagudin reaches hundreds of titles. He has many major roles and works that he can rightfully be proud of. Directors love this artist for his ability to brilliantly play even episodes and minor roles. The actor is very flexible and has the talent to transform and get used to any image.
Ruslan Yagudin appeared in a supporting role in the popular youth comedy-melodrama series “Deffchonki”. Also, many other memorable actors appeared in the episodes of the series: Alexander Serov-Ostankinsky, Sofya Uritskaya, Natalya Ungard, Andris Lielais, Olga Dibtseva, Irina Gavra, Dmitry Sotiriadi, Alexey Bochenin and Maria Aronova.
Another popular series in which Ruslan Yagudin participated was the sitcom “Univer. New Dorm", a continuation of the famous student series "Univer". Here the actor played a cameo role as the director of the video. Ruslan Yagudin also appeared in the new popular sitcom “Hotel Eleon”, a spin-off of the ended “Kitchen”.
Sometimes the actor is also credited with participating in the filming of the acclaimed youth series “The Law of the Concrete Jungle,” and in the leading role. But this is a misconception. The role of Tim in this film is played by Aristarchus Venes, who looks quite similar to Yagudin.
In 2020, viewers saw Ruslan Yagudin in several films at once, where he got the central characters. Among the most memorable and rated films are “Secret City 3” and “Moscow Greyhound”. But the actor himself is most proud of the projects “Legend No. 17” and “On Verkhnyaya Maslovka”.
In 2020, fans of Ruslan Yagudin’s talent were able to enjoy the actor’s wonderful performance in the film “A Secret to the Whole World.” In this melodrama, the actor got the main male role. Ruslan Yagudin played the role of Semyon, the husband of the main character Nyuta (Glafira Tarkhanova), and a rather unpleasant person. Nyuta is a quiet and hard-working woman who works in a store, looks after the house, and raises children, allowing her husband to take advantage of the woman’s kindness and literally sit on his neck. When Nyuta gets into trouble, her husband simply runs away.
In 2020, the actor played the main male character in the comedy melodrama “Tender Crisis.” The series follows the lives of three teenage friends. Girls are faced with the problems of growing up, trying to reconcile with their parents or create their own families, and seek self-realization in creativity or work.
Personal life
Ruslan met his future wife, the charming Alla Podchufarova, at the Shchukin School. Alla claims that her future husband courted the girl in such an “unconventional” way that at first Alla did not understand that the actor was showing attention to her, and not to the girl’s friend. Only after a thorough and frank conversation with Ruslan did everything fall into place.
Ruslan Yagudin with his wife and daughter
The personal life of Ruslan Yagudin and actress Alla Podchufarova flowed in the same direction in 2005. But the couple formalized their relationship only in 2011. Recently, the long-awaited daughter Veronica appeared in the actor’s family, who receives the maximum love and tenderness that the actor is capable of. Soon Veronica had a younger sister, Lera. Judging by the friendly family photos that the actor posts on Instagram, there is more than enough love in the family for two children.
