At school, Kryukova liked drawing and drawing. Even if she dreamed of an acting profession, she did not speak out loud; she entered the architectural institute. After finishing her first year, Evgenia took her documents and got a job as an artist at the youth theater, trying not to miss rehearsals.
The girl’s acting biography began with performances in the crowd. In 1990, Kryukova became a student at GITIS, studying with Ekaterina Rednikova, Alexei Makarov and Anastasia Sapozhnikova.
Choosing a life path
By the time she graduated from school, the future actress Evgenia Kryukova had not yet decided on her choice of profession. On the advice of her mother, she entered the Moscow Architectural Institute. Already in her first year, the girl realized that she had made a mistake. She took the documents and began working at the Moscow Youth Theater, where she was hired as an artist.
Soon Evgenia realized that she wanted to connect her life with dramatic art. She attended all rehearsals and participated in the crowd. In 1990, Kryukova became a student at the correspondence faculty of GITIS.
Theater
Evgenia, who had not yet received her diploma, was invited to the Mossovet Theater, to which she is still faithful. She played roles in the plays “Anna Karenina” and “Cynics”, “Twelfth Night” and “Moscow Nest”, “School for Wives” and “No Jokes with Love”.

From time to time, the actress participates in productions of other theaters and enterprises.
Second actor
Her second husband was also an actor; she and Andrei Sergeev served together in the Mossovet Theater. And this, too, was not at all the love that the girl wanted. Andrei was like the boy Kai, who sits somewhere in the ice hall of the Snow Queen, lays out the word “Eternity” from pieces of ice, and Evgenia kept trying to warm him up, disenchant him.
“I sat and waited for him to call and invite me to his place. From time to time he proposed marriage to me, but he could not live with me, he did not let me close to his soul.”
Wherever the actress went, all the men looked only at her. And she was sad and dreamed that one day Andrei would truly love her, open his heart and let her in - come in and stay forever.
Movies
Evgenia first appeared in films at the age of 18 in the war film “Vanka-Vstanka”. Then there was the main role in the action film “Three Days Outside the Law”, and the erotic film “Sex and Perestroika”. The project provided the actress with the attention of directors, and she played with Karen Shakhnazarov in “The Regicide,” in Alexander Strizhenov’s debut work “Falling Up,” and with Eldar Ryazanov in “The Key to the Bedroom.”
Kryukova gained popularity after the series “St. Petersburg Mysteries,” in which her partners were Elena Yakovleva, Natalya Gundareva, Vladimir Steklov, and Viktor Barinov.

To get rid of the role of a muslin young lady, Evgenia took a series of candid photos for Playboy magazine. The filmography includes the detective stories “The Files of Detective Dubrovsky” and “Gangster Petersburg”, the drama “I Have the Honor!”, based on real events and awarded the “TEFI” and “Golden Eagle” awards, and an adaptation of the novel “Multiplying Sorrow” by Georgy Weiner.
The actress played the main female role in the Belarusian action film “Major Vetrov”, and starred in the Austrian-Latvian film “Far from St. Petersburg”. Viewers remembered her for her work in the serial film “Maryina Roshcha”. In “Grandma in the Departure,” Kryukova perfectly succeeded in transforming herself into an elderly woman who decides to give birth to a child at the same time as her daughter-in-law. Evgenia played another mother in the melodrama “Buy Me,” which tells about what people go through in search of happiness.
Personal life
Kryukova was brought onto her professional path by her common-law husband, Experimental Theater actor Mikhail Zhukov. After 4 years, the feelings faded away, the girl married a colleague at the Mossovet Theater, Andrei Sergeev.
However, this relationship was not destined to last long. In an interview with Boris Korchevnikov, the host of the program “The Fate of a Man,” the actress admitted that Andrei proposed marriage, “but did not let him into his soul.”
Evgenia gave birth to a daughter, Evdokia, in her marriage to businessman Alexander Karev. The parents wanted to name the girl Varya, but as a talisman against everything bad they gave her the name suggested by her deceased friend. The couple lived together for 10 years.

Then Kryukova had a 5-year affair with Mikhail Rudyak. An entrepreneur from the Forbes list had a family living in America, but this did not stop him from renting an apartment in Moscow for $7 thousand a month for his beloved, pampering her with expensive gifts, and seeking out new roles. According to rumors, Margarita, Mikhail’s wife, who headed the rental company, tried to destroy her husband’s happiness on the side by impeding the promotion of projects with Evgenia’s participation.
Rudyak died of a heart attack on the plane, in the arms of the actress. His health problems began after an accident in which Marina Levtova died and Daria Moroz miraculously survived. Mikhail was driving a snowmobile at the time and was seriously injured.
By her own admission, Evgenia found happiness in her personal life with Sergei Glyadelkin, Rudyak’s business partner. For the sake of the screen star, the man left his family with three children. The lovers did not officially register their relationship, they just got married, although friends claim that they still had a secret wedding. The couple are raising a son, Mikhail, and a daughter, whose name is hidden.

The usherette's story intrigued me. After the performance, I went to the service entrance to see who would be greeting Anya. Alexander Karev, the ex-husband of Evgenia Kryukova, was sitting in a car parked near the theater! He was clearly waiting for someone. Nervous, he got out of the car and started talking to the artists passing by.
“I’ll take Anya to training now,” he said. “She has abs like a rock, and she weighs 44 kilograms,” he said with warmth in his voice about his beloved. Anya fluttered out of the theater with flowers and got into Karev’s car. The next day I called Alexander Vasilyevich. “Write this way: Evgenia Kryukova’s ex-husband is married to actress Anna Begunova,” he confirmed.

— Are you officially married?
“No, we are in a civil marriage,” Karev clarified. According to him, three years ago they were introduced by a friend, Andrei Ilyin, the same actor who plays Kamenskaya’s husband in the famous TV series.
— Doesn’t the age difference bother you, because you are 53 and she is only 21? “The main thing is that it doesn’t bother her, but she doesn’t seem to feel the difference,” Alexander Vasilyevich retorted. - There are young old men, and there are old men, but young. In fact, after his divorce from Kryukova, he lost extra pounds and looks younger than his age.
