Personal life of celebrities.
It is simply pointless to list all the roles that Oleg Maslennikov played during his creative biography. This will take a lot of time. After all, the actor’s career began back in 1981, and accordingly, it has already spanned more than 30 years. However, recently Oleg Maslennikov has been presented in interviews or at creative events not only as an actor, but also as a talented director. Confirmation of his talent is the high rating of the series he shot. Among the most beloved and well-known to viewers are “Efrosyne”, “Hold Me Tight”, “While the Village Is Sleeping” and many others. Naturally, Oleg Maslennikov’s personal life was not cloudless and happy all these years; there were also moments of adversity and utter despair. Oleg Maslennikov’s wife helps the actor cope with bouts of melancholy .
The future actor was born in January 1961. He almost never talked about his parents and family in his interviews. The same as about childhood and adolescence. It is only known that he received his education at the Voronezh Institute of Arts. By the way, during his studies Oleg Maslennikov met with his wife, who became his constant companion for many years. Alla Maslennikova is also a well-known actress. She studied at the same institute, only on a completely different course. As the actress admits, she saw her future husband in a dream a year before she met in person. Feelings did not flare up immediately. However, while still students, the young actors got married, for which they had to skip the couples. We lived in a dormitory. The only daughter of Oleg Maslennikov and his wife Ekaterina was also born there. The entire further biography of the actor, of course, is connected specifically with his family, since he and his wife often worked together on the set and in the same theater.

Today, Oleg Maslennikov permanently lives in Kyiv, in a house on Batyeva Mountain, built on his own. Recalling the past, the actor admits that in his life with his wife there were bitter years of lack of money and almost poverty, which lasted for ten whole years. This is precisely the secret of his insane performance. If now the actor and director suddenly give up, he remembers the time of forced idleness that followed the sudden departure of the acting family from the theater on the Left Bank and the subsequent return with a guilty head. Now he also does not work in the theater, but this is due to a simple lack of time. It’s hard to be torn between directing, filming and theater work. Oleg Maslennikov had to make a difficult choice.
