Yuri Aksyuta: biography, personal life and photos

The story of the fate of the general producer of Channel One, Yuri Aksyuta, is full of bright events. Having started his climb to fame from a simple DJ, Yuri Viktorovich grew to unprecedented heights thanks to his wisdom, work and, in many ways, character. Recently it became known that changes have occurred in his personal life. Did Yuri Aksyuta and his wife really divorce after so many years of a happy life together?

Childhood

An ordinary Tallinn boy, like all children, played football and at the same time was interested in music. Yuri collected records, some of which have survived to this day. After graduating from school, Aksyuta began to master the basics of theatrical art. In 1975 his heart was beating like crazy when he looked for himself in the lists of enrolled students at GITIS. Entered! A new interesting life has begun.

Already in his first year, Yuri Aksyuta began an affair with the future film star Tanya Golubyatnikova. It was she who became Yuri's first wife in 1978. Tatyana noticed him during the entrance exams, immediately realizing that he would be her husband. The girl was a native Muscovite and dreamed of entering a university and working in theater. Like her husband, during her student years she already acted in films.

Theater

The theatrical biography of Tatyana Aksyuta began after the young actress “lit up” on the screen in her debut film “Before the Exam.” The artist was accepted into the troupe of the Russian Academic Youth Theater. At first, Aksyuta played minor heroines, but then the roles offered to her “became larger.”

When the fame after the star melodrama “You Never Even Dreamed It” subsided, and Tatyana was not offered new bright roles, she focused on working in the theater. Tatyana Vladimirovna herself considers herself a theater actress, and her work in cinema is just a random episode in her creative life.

Tatyana Aksyuta worked at the theater until 2002. She played dozens of roles, including many major ones. Unlike cinema, in the theater the actress managed to go beyond the boundaries of the image of a “little girl”: the range of her theatrical images is very wide.

These days, Tatyana Vladimirovna Aksyuta no longer acts in films or appears on stage. She focused on teaching and trains young actors at the House of Creativity in Sokolniki.

Yuri Aksyuta's wife - reasons for separation

In the second year of university, the young people decided to enter into legal marriage. He studied and worked - this is how Yuri Aksyuta went to his Olympus of fame. He was accepted to work at the Central Children's Theater when he was still a student. After the army, Levitan invited Yuri to work on the radio.

There is a photo of Yuri Aksyuta’s wife online when she was still starring in the famous film “You Never Even Dreamed of It.” Married in 1984 daughter Polina was born. The parents loved their daughter-in-law very much, and the family lived amicably. Tatyana continued to act in films and worked in radio plays. Yuri Aksyuta and his wife are two strong, self-sufficient individuals who built career paths on their own, without using mutual connections. Tatyana left the theater. Now she teaches acting in a drama club.

After celebrating his silver wedding, Aksyuta and his wife divorced, opening a new page in his biography, meeting a new love along the way.

About a new wave of love

Yuri Aksyuta and his new wife appear together in public, because now they are legal spouses. The second wife of Yuri Aksyuta Karaerov, Svetlana, worked as an assistant producer of the Reflex group. Many colleagues in the shop believe that she is a “gray eminence” who is always “at the helm” in a couple. It is she who dictates who will be released on the stage of Channel One, and who will have to wait in line for now.

Tatyana is very worried about her husband’s departure, although she tries to move on with her life without showing it in public. Aksyuta's ex-wife forgets herself when working with children. Daughter Polina entered the Sorbonne on her own, but two years later she returned to Moscow from France. She chose to study at the Russian Literary Institute.

The specific reasons for the divorce of Aksyuta and his ex-husband are not reported. Yuri Aksyuta does not comment on life with his new wife. In general, colleagues note that Yuri calls all the women next to him wives and treats everyone warmly.

Big love

Fans, of course, are interested not only in creative achievements, but also in the personal life of Tatyana Aksyuta. The talented girl met her love within the walls of GITIS. Her chosen one was Yuri Aksyuta. The young man came to Moscow from Estonia and dreamed of an acting career. He also liked the fragile student.

Yuri and Tatyana started dating in their first year. The lovers looked very unusual together: a miniature girl and a tall guy. During stage movement classes, the teacher arranged the group according to height. Yuri always stood first, and Tatyana - last. When the teacher asked to close the circle, the lovers were nearby.

Famous projects of Yuri Aksyuta

In 2002-2003, he worked as the general producer of Hit-FM. At the beginning of 2003, he was invited to Channel One, where Aksyuta headed the Music Broadcasting Directorate. Under his leadership, many popular projects were released on the channel. The most memorable ones are “Star Factory”, “5 Stars”, “Major League” and “Two Stars”. More recent projects are “Property of the Republic” and “Voice”. In 2009, he successfully managed the Eurovision project, being its executive director. The opening took place on Vorobyovy Gory, the semi-finals and finals at the Olimpiysky, and the closing at Gostiny Dvor. For the successful conduct of the competition, Aksyuta was awarded a diploma by the President of Russia.

In general, Yuri Viktorovich has a lot to do with Eurovision. Back in 2002, at the invitation of Konstantin Ernst, he was a commentator for the competition when it was held in Estonia. Since then, Aksyuta has had a direct connection to the competition. In 2009, he did not comment on the competition, as he was too busy with organizational work. Eurovision, in his opinion, is a great holiday and a unique format that does its job. There is a lot of music at the competition and it is all different.

In 2012, a new Dutch project appeared on the channel, whose name is “The Voice”. As Yuri Viktorovich says, he first learned about this competition from the Internet and immediately became interested in it. After purchasing the rights, the selection of participants began. Aksyuta auditioned and selected many applicants himself, and initially there were almost ten thousand of them. The main thing that attracts the organizers, the jury, and the audience in the “Voice” project is sincerity.

Tatiana Aksyuta

Russian and Soviet theater and film actress.

KinoPoisk: https://www.kinopoisk.ru/name/307427

Graduated from the State Institute of Theater Arts named after. A.V. Lunacharsky. Actress of the Russian Academic Youth Theater (formerly the Central Children's Theater).

Actress Tatyana Aksyuta was remembered by the audience only for “You Never Dreamed of...”, which became the film of the year in 1980. Well, also from “The Tale of Wanderings,” where she again played a little girl.

The film “You never dreamed of...”, where in the last frames tenth-grader Romka falls from a fifth-floor window into the snow into the arms of his beloved girl Katya, the female half of our family watched a lot, from beginning to end and most often with tears.

Despite this, Tatyana does not like to talk about the film that made her famous. As she admits: “For the first five years I couldn’t watch myself on screen at all. At the premiere shows, where we were supposed to be present, I looked at others, but only turned a blind eye to myself. It’s like listening to your voice on a tape and not recognizing it, you think: “God, is it really me?” Everything is somehow fake, unreal.”

Tatyana recalls about the filming of the film: “Director Ilya Frez was a luminary of children’s cinema and loved to do 5-6 takes. It was getting ridiculous. Lena Mayorova, who couldn’t stand rehearsals at all, played a neighbor with whom we have the following dialogue at the entrance to the mailbox: “Kat, a guy came to see you here.” “Romka?” - I answer. “I don’t know, I didn’t introduce myself. I called until she sent me away.” The first take, the second, the third... In the end, she blurts out: “Kat, a guy came to see you here.” - “Romka?” - “I don’t know, I called until I passed away.” Although there were also improvisations: my wreath, for example, appeared completely unexpectedly. We were all gathered in the park by 9 o'clock, but by the time everything was prepared, cameras were installed, lunch had long passed, and out of nothing to do, I wove such a huge wreath of green leaves. And everyone gasped: “Oh, how great, let’s shoot in a wreath!” They started filming the film from the end, and sometimes we didn’t even understand what we were saying. There was one scene in the “glass” for taxi drivers, where we talk at night with Nikita Mikhailovsky, who played Romka, about the war and about which of us will die first... For him, this phrase turned out to be fatal.”

Nikita Mikhailovsky died at the age of 27 from cancer. The life of Elena Mayorova was also tragically cut short - she committed suicide.

The film featured a star cast: Irina Miroshnichenko, Lidia Fedoseeva-Shukshina, Leonid Filatov, Lyubov Sokolova, Tatyana Ivanovna Peltzer.

Aksyuta had the opportunity to play in films several more times with Tatyana Ivanovna Peltzer. As she admits: “We became so close that when I was pregnant, she was the first person I told about it.”

Other film works

After the film “You Never Even Dreamed of...”, popularity simply fell on Aksyuta: “They started writing letters to me, meeting me on the streets. Everyone thought that I was a little schoolgirl, but I had already been a married lady for a long time! Therefore, the schoolchildren pestered me in a terrible way - they came home and met me at the theater. One “telephone repairman” liked to come and fix the phone. It was all terrible. True, I sometimes answered letters, but not all of them, of course.”

Two years later, Aksyuta starred in “The Tale of Wanderings” with Andrei Mironov. She recalls about that film: “They shot 2 episodes of material, but they were only allowed to make one. Therefore, a lot of interesting footage was lost. But I liked participating in this film because there were many extreme situations in it, I even had a stuntwoman to perform stunts. But I liked doing everything myself. When we were filming on Ai-Petri in Crimea, they hung a net into which Mironov and I were supposed to fall. But he was terribly afraid of heights...”

Theater

Gradually the avalanche of popularity passed. After starring in several more films, Aksyuta completely switched to the theater. By the way, she does not consider herself a film actress at all: “I have been a theater actress for 20 years now. Theater is the most important thing for me. But the movie was just an accident and did not provide any special creative satisfaction. I’ve never made any serious films in my life.”

Tatyana Aksyuta worked at the Russian Academic Youth Theater until 2002. For a long time I played little girls. When asked “did I want to play something different,” she answered: “Of course, I wanted to play crazy passions. I came to the theater because I had an unhappy love and I needed the theater in order to throw out my feelings somewhere. Believe it or not, in my youth I wrote decadent poems in imitation of Zinaida Gippius. I have always had a discrepancy between my appearance and my inner content. Inside I was a femme fatale. Now I think: “God, how funny and stupid that was!” Now I’m a lighter person than when I was young.”

Although the actress does not have her former popularity, she is sometimes still recognized on the street. More often - her peers who watched “You Never Even Dreamed of...” in the eighties. Tatyana recalls a funny incident: “Once I was riding on a trolleybus, and a man kept looking at me the whole way. He comes up and says: “Oh God, I recognized you!” I ask: “How did you recognize me?” He told me: “Blow your ears!” You have such ears that I will remember them for the rest of my life.”

She herself is not upset that the fame has passed: “In this sense, I am a completely non-acting person. There are actresses who need to play something all the time, for whom it is a tragedy if the role does not go to them. But for me it's the opposite. I am happy for others. And then, I’m probably lazy. I think it would be good to play this, it would be good to play that. But everything takes so much time! I have no vanity. I remember once Elena Yakovlevna Soloveya and I stood in line at the same store. They recognized her and began to whisper. It was terribly unpleasant. Then one woman comes up to us and says: “You know, you look so much like one actress, Elena Solovey...” And she answers her: “What are you talking about, will Elena Solovey stand in line?!”

Fame only helped me once. They invited me to some festival in Alma-Ata. I ran to the airport, and the plane had already taken off. I’m in shock: the tickets have been paid for, they’re supposed to meet me in Almaty, but I’m stuck here! And suddenly I see that at a kiosk at the airport they are selling a magazine with my face on the cover. Well, they put us on the next plane.”

Personal life

The actress’s husband, Yuri Aksyuta, works as a program director at the Europe Plus radio station. Tatyana talks about him with great love: “Europe Plus began with him. When we graduated from college, our class was offered to go to Bryansk. But we didn’t go to Bryansk, because they hadn’t even built a theater there yet. Then Yura went into the army, and when he returned, he decided to try his hand at radio. At that time, Yuri Levitan was still working there. He really liked Yura and hired him as an announcer. And then the French came and said: “There is such a music radio station all over the world, would you like to join?” And they asked to give them two young men. Yura was one of them."
