Ksenia and Polina Kutepova. Curriculum Vitae

Biography

Ksenia was born not alone, but together with her twin sister Polina. At the time of their birth, a three-year-old daughter, Zlata, was growing up in the Kutepov family. Parents had nothing to do with art. In the future, the older sister had a significant influence on the younger ones. It was she who instilled in Ksyusha and Polya a love for the theater. In addition, the twins danced for seven years in the famous ensemble named after Loktev.

“We were influenced to a greater extent by our older sister Zlata. It was she who, after the eighth grade, took us to School No. 67 with a strong humanitarian bias... And we also went to the children's film school at the Palace of Pioneers, but everything there was not very serious and gave little in terms of profession. But there was a good company at the film school, and we had a great time together. All this could not but affect us, so my sister and I decided to enter the theater institute,” notes Ksyusha.

In 1988, Ksenia Kutepova became a student at GITIS. Together with their sister, they chose the faculty of directing, where they studied in the workshop of Pyotr Fomenko.

Childhood and youth

Ksenia is a native Muscovite, born in August 1971 15 minutes earlier than her twin sister Polina. Another sister, Zlata, is 3 years older.

The creative biography of younger girls began in primary school at the children's film school of the Palace of Pioneers on the Lenin Hills. In addition, the Kutepovs danced and performed in the Kremlin and at the Bolshoi Theater. There the young artists were noticed and included in the Mosfilm file cabinet.

Ksenia Kutepova and her sister Polina Kutepova
Ksenia wrote her first line in her personal filmography at the age of 9. In the film “Vasily and Vasilisa” she played the daughter of the characters Olga Ostroumova and Mikhail Kononov. The sisters got a taste of fame after the release of the musical fairy tale “Red, Honest, in Love.” But neither then nor now does Kutepova like excessive public attention.

In 1988, Ksenia and Polina entered GITIS, taking the course of Pyotr Fomenko. Upon graduation, the girls became the founders of a theater troupe named after the famous director.

On the stage of the Pyotr Fomenko Workshop, the actress played over two dozen roles. She was awarded the Konstantin Stanislavsky Prize, the State Prize of Russia, “The Seagull” and “Crystal Turandot”, and was nominated for the “Golden Eagle”.

Theater

Since 1993, the Kutepovs have served in the Moscow Theater “Peter Fomenko Workshop”.

Ksenia claims that there are two places on earth where she feels comfortable and is able to open up completely: her home and the Pyotr Fomenko Theater.

Among the first productions that brought fame to the artist was the play “Tanya-Tanya”. With him, the theater went on tour to Poland in the late 1990s. There, at the Contact theater festival, Ksenia Kutepova was awarded a special prize as the best young actress.

In 2001, she received the K.S. Stanislavsky for the best actress in the play “Family Happiness”. Next year, Ksenia is a laureate of the Russian State Prize. And for the play “Three Sisters” she was awarded “The Seagull” and “Crystal Turandot”.

Sometimes the artist plays in other theaters. She participated in the productions of “The Kreutzer Sonata” and “The White Guard”, which were staged on the stage of the Chekhov Moscow Art Theater.

Theater career

Ksenia considers her student years to be the happiest period of her life. She was crazy about her teachers and idolized Pyotr Naumovich Fomenko, whom she considers the godfather in the world of theatrical art. The brilliant director, whom many were afraid of because of his tough character, also adored his red-haired beauties and tried to reveal all their unique creative abilities.

While still a student, Ksenia began to appear on the stage of the Pyotr Fomenko Workshop theater. In tandem with her sister, she was involved in the plays “Wolves and Sheep” and “Three Sisters,” where the twins faced a difficult task. Ksenia and Polina had to play their characters in such a way that the audience would forget about their external similarity. This was the brilliant method of Pyotr Fomenko, who was able to educate two unique actresses in their own way.

Ksenia Kutepova’s height is 165 cm

After graduating from university in 1993, Ksenia and her sister joined the main troupe of the Pyotr Fomenko Workshop. For more than a quarter of a century they have been devoted to their favorite theater and consider it their second home. Our heroine has two dozen bright roles in the best repertory performances, for many of which she was awarded prestigious theater and state awards. Ksenia is an Honored Artist of the Russian Federation and a State Prize laureate.

Family

The actress met her husband within the walls of her native theater . Sergei Osipyan, who was involved in the production of documentary films, was invited by friends to the play “Dead Souls”, in which the actress and her sister played the main roles.

Osipyan was so impressed by the Kutepovs' performance that he was inspired by the idea of ​​​​working with them.

He invited Ksenia to his film “Fish,” on the set of which the romance began. In 2002, the couple had a son, Vasily , and three years later, a daughter, Lydia.

Cinema

Ksenia Kutepova's film debut took place at a young age. In the drama “Vasily and Vasilisa” based on the work of Valentin Rasputin, she played the daughter of the main characters.

In 1982, the musical comedy by Georgy Yungvald-Khilkevich “Where Will He Go!” was released. with the participation of two sisters Ksyusha and Poly. And the film adaptation of the film “Red, Honest, in Love,” based on the fairy tale by Jan Ekholm, made the Kutepovs famous.

Viewers also noted Ksenia in several film-performances: “You won’t get bored with us,” “Alika’s Adventures in Imagination,” “Belkin’s Stories. Undertaker", "Tanya-Tanya", "Wolves and Sheep".

In 1995, Ksyusha played Rutilov’s sister Valeria in Nikolai Dostal’s “The Little Demon,” a tragicomedy based on the novel of the same name by Fyodor Sologub.

In the early 2000s, the actress appeared in the TV series “Happy New Happiness!” and “Deadly force.”

"Travel with Pets"

In 2007, Ksenia Kutepova got the main role in Vera Storozheva’s melodrama “Travel with Pets.”

Plot: The husband of 35-year-old Natalia dies. She is left alone, far from people, with her pets at an abandoned stop. The poor woman does not know life at all, does not understand herself, does not know attachments. And only with the appearance of Sergei, a truck driver, does she for the first time experience carnal and spiritual love.

“There were many offers that I had to refuse, but I fought for the role in Traveling with Pets. I really wanted to act in this film, because it is based on a wonderful story of a woman, the story of her awakening, when a tree suddenly grew from a seed.

I immediately saw this woman as a purposeful person, but I perceived the story itself differently. First as a romantic love story, and then, talking with director Vera Storozheva, and during the filming, I saw my heroine completely different - deeper, more interesting. And the film itself turned out to be different - with huge implications.

I trusted Vera Storozheva very much as a director and am eternally grateful to her for making the role happen. I felt like a newbie, it was very difficult for me, I didn’t understand how to work, and she led me like a guide to a blind man. And I followed her step by step from beginning to end, unquestioningly following her advice,” recalls Ksenia.

Then the actress starred in the melodrama “Spring is Coming” (Mother Catherine), the popular serial film “Doctor Tyrsa” (instrumental diagnostics specialist Anna Kolesnikova), the tragicomedy “The Guy from Mars” (manager Liza Pryalkina), the drama “Without Witnesses” (psychologist Tatyana Dubrovina).

In Sergei Snezhkin’s historical film “The White Guard,” Kutepova played Anna Vladimirovna (the Turbins’ mother), in Sergei Zhigunov’s film adaptation of “The Three Musketeers” she played Madame Coknard, and in Alexander Melnik’s adventure drama “Territory” she played journalist Sergushova.

The actress also appeared in the short film “Sleepwalkers,” which premiered in 2016 at the Kinotavr festival. The film showed the events of 1968, when the USSR was preparing to send a man to the moon. But the main characters of the film are not astronauts, but people who met by chance on a night train.

In the comedy-crime melodrama "Guests" Ksenia played the role of Niyole, the beloved of the main character. According to the plot, Vovas (Maxim Averin) together with his brother Mishanya (Aleksey Vorobyov) are engaged in gangster affairs and are trying to hide from the Tambov mafia, for which they move to Lithuania. There the brothers change their names and start a new business.

Also in 2020, the actress took part in the French film “Polina,” an adaptation of the novel by Bastien Vivet. The main character is the new ballet star Polina, who is brought up in the 1990s in Moscow under the supervision of the choreographer Bozhinsky. The girl makes a brilliant ballet career until she meets a French dancer and discovers free dance, after which she gives up ballet and goes to France to find her own style.

One of Ksenia Kutepova’s latest film works is in the art-house drama “Found a Scythe on a Stone,” which tells about the life of a Russian family at the turn of the millennium. The film is filled with hopelessness and senseless cruelty: the funeral scene of a young guy who died in the war gives way to violence against a girl and a murder committed by a deeply religious man.

Gossip Man calendar: birthday girls Polina and Ksenia Kutepova

Today marks the 41st anniversary of the famous actresses, honored artists of Russia and winners of numerous theater awards, the Kutepov sisters - Polina and Ksenia.
Happy birthday to them! Polina and Ksenia Kutepov were born on August 1, 1971 in Moscow into a family of engineers. From early childhood, the twin sisters were fond of sports and could easily stand up for themselves and even often got into fights. At the same time, sometimes the younger Kutepovs had difficulties communicating with other people. Polina recalled in an interview:

I remember now with surprise that my sister and I were so shy and reserved that asking a stranger a question became torture. But since sometimes we still had to ask what time it was, how much something cost, we established a priority among ourselves as to who would do this, and strictly observed it.

As children, like many twins, the girls shared one life. And, of course, this also applied to the clothes they wore. The actress admitted that her mother, despite the difficult times, always tried to give her children the best:

Mom always tried to dress my sister and me beautifully. Although, when we were growing up, it was almost impossible to buy beautiful clothes, and so she sewed them for us herself. I remember as soon as miniskirts came into fashion, they immediately appeared here. These were such short skirts with frills, but they were made of different fabrics and also had different designs. (Our parents never dressed us the same.) Moreover, it seems that my mother sewed them together in one night. Our classmates were shocked by our appearance in these ultra-fashionable and ultra-short skirts. And mom wasn’t afraid of shocking things, you know? After all, as a rule, it is young people who are not afraid of anything new, and their parents often condemn them. But our mother was not like everyone else. And for some reason I remembered our miniskirts as a symbol of my mother’s courageous attitude towards life.

Kutepova sisters - Polina and Ksenia

The real authority and unconditional leader for girls has always been the older sister Zlata. It was she who attracted the Kutepovs to acting, although the girls themselves were not at all interested in theater:

Zlatka was, let’s say, “hit” by the theater. And she captivated us too. Only she is to blame for our fate. Zlata organized a home theater at the dacha, and we obeyed her unquestioningly in everything. Her humanitarian orientation prompted Ksenia and me to enter a literary school. We went to professional theaters, although quite rarely, but we played in amateur ones. And as a result, it turned out that Ksenia and I work in the theater, and Zlata, despite the fact that she graduated from the directing department of the Institute of Culture, works in television.

At first, the future actresses were fond of dancing and studied in the Loktev ensemble for more than seven years: they performed both in the Kremlin and on the stage of the Bolshoi Theater. The young pioneers were noticed there and invited to act in films.

The girls first appeared on the silver screen in 1981 in the film “Vasily and Vasilisa”, where they played the daughters of the main characters. This was followed by roles in the films “Where Will He Go”, “Red-Headed, Honest and in Love”, “You Won’t Get Bored With Us”.

“You won’t get bored with us”

After graduating from school in 1988, the girls decided to enroll in GITIS, successfully passed the exams the first time and ended up in the workshop of Pyotr Fomenko. Since then, the actresses have constantly participated in various theater productions and have established themselves as outstanding theater actresses and received many awards.

Some of Ksenia’s most striking theatrical roles: Tanya in the play “Tanya-Tanya” (for which Kutepova received the prize for the best young actress of the Kontakt-96 theater festival), Masha in “Family Happiness” (K.S. Stanislavsky Prize) , Irina in “Three Sisters” (Theatrical Award “Chaika”).

Polina also played dozens of diverse roles, including: Viola in Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night,” Annushka and Princess Shlepokhvostova in Gogol’s “Vladimir III Degree,” Kupavina in Ostrovsky’s “Wolves and Sheep,” Lady Bracknell in Wilde’s “The Importance of Being Earnest” and many others. She also won the Seagull Award in 2004, the K.S. Stanislavsky in 2007 and the national theater award “Golden Mask” for the role of Molly Bloom in the play “Ulysses”.

But the talented sisters managed to prove themselves not only on the theater stage, but also in domestic cinema. During her student years, Polina Kutepova starred in Georgy Danelia’s film “Nastya” (1993). The story of the magical transformation of a modest stationery saleswoman into a luxurious beauty was loved by millions of viewers.

The actress continued her successful collaboration with the venerable Soviet director, starring in his film “Heads and Tails” in 1995. It was these roles that brought Polina the Golden Aries award for her contribution to cinema.

In 1995, the sisters starred together in the television film “The Little Demon”, and then in Godard’s short story “Our Holy Rus'”, but it was never shown in Russia.

"Smuggler"

A couple of years later, Polina Kutepova starred in the film “Easy to Die” together with Alexander Lazarev Jr. The main character Lisa pulled Ilya out of the loop and was amazed to learn that a stranger decided to commit suicide because of his love for her. Lisa reciprocated, but soon began to feel that his love was fraught with some kind of danger.

In 2003, the actresses appeared together again on the silver screen in a small role in the famous film “Walk” by Alexei Uchitel.

Ksenia Kutepova starred in 2007 in the psychological melodrama “Travel with Pets” directed by Vera Storozheva. The actress played Natalya, a woman who, after the death of her husband, was left alone with her pets away from people at an abandoned stop.

In 2009, the detective series “Pelagia and the White Bulldog” was released, an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Boris Akunin. Polina played two roles at once: the nun Pelagia and the socialite Polina Lisitsyna. It is interesting that the author of the novel himself personally approved the performers of the main roles, as well as the bulldogs chosen for the role. Here's what Akunin said:

Pelagia is played by the one who should have played her, Polina Kutepova. From the very beginning I wanted to see this actress in the series and achieved this, and now I see that I was right. Polina is not only very good in the role of a nun, but she is also very good (I now say “good” in the sense of beauty) when she dresses up as a society lady.

It was assumed that the role of Polina Lisitsyna would be played by Kutepova’s twin sister, Ksenia. But director Yuri Moroz decided that it would be better if Polina played both roles, and after shooting the film he also said that “she coped with it perfectly.”

In the same year, another project with the participation of Kutepova was released - “To Paris”. The film takes place in 1968 in the USSR. In the film, the actress played the role of Maria, the beloved woman of the protagonist Ivan (Yuri Stepanov), unfairly accused of embezzlement. In order to save her, Ivan decides to rob the store.

In addition, Polina also starred in Pavel Ruminov’s film “Circumstances,” where Ilya Lyubimov became her partner on the set. The actress successfully starred in television series, for example, “Everyone Has Their Own War” and “Military Hospital.”

Ksenia Kutepova also starred as the nun Mother Catherine in Vera Storozheva’s melodrama “Spring is Coming.” In the military-historical drama "Kromov" (2009), Ksenia starred in the role of Natalya Tarkhanova, the beloved woman of the protagonist Alexei Kromov (Vladimir Vdovichenkov), the military attache of the Russian Empire in France, who was responsible for organizing supplies for the Russian army.

The year 2010 brought Ksenia Kutepova the role of Lisa Pryalkina in the debut feature film of her husband Sergei Osipyan “The Guy from Mars”, as well as instrumental diagnostics specialist Anna in the series “Doctor Tyrsa”.

Ksenia Kutepova met her future husband, then an aspiring director, Sergei Osipyan, while studying at GITIS. However, the actress herself said that they did not begin a romantic relationship right away:

My husband and I knew each other for six years, and during all this time nothing resonated in either him or me. And then suddenly... it not only responded, but flared up like a bright fire, and two months later we got married. A super-romantic adventure in which I felt like the heroine of Shakespeare’s play “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”: there, too, everyone falls in and out of love.

The couple has two children - 10-year-old son Vasily and seven-year-old daughter Lida.

Polina is married to her former teacher, director Evgeniy Kamenkov, with whom they are raising their daughter Nadezhda (born in 1997). The actress says this about her family life:

If you compare a family to a ship, then according to the distribution of roles, I am the anchor, and Zhenya is the sails. He always had a lot of ideas, crazy plans, and he always flies away somewhere. Without Zhenya, I would lie at the bottom all the time, and if it weren’t for me, then Zhenya would fly in the sky all the time. So it turns out that together we stay afloat.

Personal life

Ksenia met her future husband, then an aspiring director, Sergei Osipyan, while studying at GITIS. However, the actress herself said that they did not begin a romantic relationship right away:

“My husband and I knew each other for six years, and during all this time nothing resonated in either him or me. And then suddenly... it not only responded, but flared up like a bright fire, and two months later we got married. A super-romantic adventure in which I felt like the heroine of Shakespeare’s play “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”: everyone falls in and out of love there too.”

The couple has two children - son Vasily and daughter Lida.

Personal life of Ksenia Kutepova

Ksenia Kutepova met her husband at her theater. Together with her sister, she worked in the production of “Dead Souls”. The young director Sergei Osipyan was then filming a small documentary project. One day he was advised to go to the Fomenko Theater, where he could find a wonderful and talented cast. Seeing the performance of the Kutepov sisters, the director instantly realized that he had not been deceived. He was completely amazed by the performance of such talented actresses.

Ksenia and Polina Kutepova

Later, Sergei invited Ksenia to play in his own film “Fish”. His decision was based on the fact that the actress struck him not only with her creative talent, but also with her beauty. According to the director himself, he didn’t so much want the girl to play in his project as he dreamed that she would be next to him. So changes occurred in the personal life of Ksenia Kutepova - a romantic relationship began between the actress and the director.

Interview

About theater and cinema:

“The theater has its own specifics. Rehearsals can last for months, and the process is quite intimate. When working on a role, you may have a huge percentage of mistakes, you have the right to search and try. A role in a play can develop and be developed over several years. In short, this is a long and painstaking process, in which a narrow circle of close people participates to one degree or another. And on the set there are crowds of people you don’t know very well, and you need immediate results.”

“Bad films and TV series are anti-training for an actor, a direct path to disqualification. I'm not talking about high-quality TV series with dramaturgy and where the directors are real professionals. For example, I really liked the multi-part television film “Border. Taiga novel." I would love to star in “The Idiot.”

About the director:

“In cinema, not everything depends on the actor. This is the art of directing, and if the director doesn’t pull it off or is outright making hack work, you are absolutely helpless. It happens, however, differently: the actor is not up to the task, but is convinced that he played brilliantly. In this case, the director’s task is to convince him otherwise.”

About my husband:

“Yes, Boys from Mars is his feature debut. However, Sergei is not at all new to the profession: he has filmed TV series and worked a lot in advertising. The distance that exists between us is too short; we are too close. He can't behave with me the way he does with other actors. And I can’t behave the way I do with other directors. Sometimes I allow myself to disagree and argue. And you can’t argue with the director on the set.”

About family:

“Imagine, we are three sisters: me, Polina and Zlata, who is three years older than us. That is, in our family there was a father and four women - there was such a “female kingdom.” Then Polina had a daughter, Zlata had a daughter, and I... had a boyfriend. I want to say that he became everyone’s favorite - he’s the only guy in the village, because there’s a “women’s kingdom” all around. And then Lida was born: now there are seven of us women and one Vasyatka is in charge of everyone.”

"I do not have friends. At all. Only sisters. And Zlata and Polina. And since Polina and I have always been together, both in the theater and throughout our lives, this is probably the reason (laughs) that I don’t have girlfriends and there’s no need to have them.”

Usually Ksenia and Polina Kutepov are perceived as a single whole. A certain brand has already been created in the world of cinema and theater - the Kutepova sisters. In the “Life Line” program, Ksenia talked about what it was like to play with her twin sister on the same stage and utter the words in her face: “I look at you like in a mirror,” as well as about her individual works.

As it became clear over time, the personal life of Ksenia Kutepova and her lover turned out quite happily. In this relationship, the lovers have two children growing up - the eldest child Vasily, who was born on May 9, 2002, and daughter Lida, born three years after her brother.

“You know, I’m happy. I have a loving husband, wonderful children, a wonderful job. My husband and I love each other very much. He is a real support, assistant and adviser for me. He will always support me in difficult times and help me with the children. Even when they were very small, my husband happily nursed them, sat or fed them at night. In general, family is the real happiness in my life.”

As Ksenia Kutepova herself claims, her children did not interfere with her development of her acting biography. On the contrary, they helped her make the game richer and deeper in the psychological direction. At the same time, she is in no hurry to introduce children to the world of cinema and theater.

Ksenia Kutepova is in no hurry to share details from her personal life with the public. There are not even social networks on the Internet that would be registered personally by Ksenia. Consequently, on the Internet it is not so often possible to find photos in which she would be captured with her family. At the same time, photographs where the artist is shot in a creative image are not hidden from fans.

Ksenia Kutepova: biography, family

The heroine of this article was born in August 1971. Moscow is the city where she spent her whole life. Ksenia Kutepova's parents had nothing to do with the world of dramatic art. Her mother and father worked as engineers. Ksenia has two sisters - the eldest Zlata and the twin sister Polina.

Zlata was the first to show interest in the acting profession. Following their older sister, Polina and Ksenia “fell ill” with the theater. The girls attended a theater studio and also took dancing classes. If you rely on Ksenia’s memories, then she and Polina just followed sister Zlata, who chose a goal and achieved it. However, it was the twins who were destined to become famous.
