Childhood of the future actress
Yana Poplavskaya was born on June 28, 1967 in Moscow in the family of an actress (Evgenia Yuryevna) and a journalist (Evgeniy Vasilyevich). Soon the family broke up, and her stepfather, Vladimir Alexandrov, took over raising the girl instead of her father. Read also: Maxim Shchegolev personal life.
Although Evgenia was a strict mother, taking a thorough approach to raising her daughter, Yana was still a big hooligan in childhood. The girl was friends only with boys, because, as she herself later admitted, it was difficult for her to find contact with mannered girls.
But in the company of boys, the future artist was the main ringleader: they disrupted lessons, sawed off the legs of teachers’ chairs, jumped out of windows to go home for a bet, and much, much more, for which her parents were repeatedly called to school. Along with mischief, Poplavskaya also possessed remarkable charisma, which manifested itself even at a very young age.
In this regard, she was already invited to film filming at the age of 4, but Yana refused. A similar proposal came again, but when the girl was 6 years old. This time the future artist agreed, but the episode with her participation was never published. This greatly upset the little actress and she remembered it for the rest of her life.
Then the girl went to school, and not just any school, but an English gymnasium, the same one where she almost immediately made boy friends and began to misbehave. The girls, of course, didn’t like her for that. In addition, they began to tease him for his “too big mouth and eyes,” especially after the film “Vesnukhin’s Fantasies” was released. Yana already starred in the role of a mischievous girl whom everyone didn’t like, and she also felt childish cruelty and, apparently, envy.
However, everything changed when the actress turned 10 years old.
Little Red Riding Hood is Poplavskaya’s calling card
At the age of 10, she played a small but noticeable role in the Taganka Theater. Yana played so well that she did not go unnoticed. Director Yuri Lyubimov turned his attention to the young talent and invited her to star in the film “About Little Red Riding Hood” in the title role.
The director, Leonid Nechaev, had been looking for the lead actress for more than a year before meeting Poplavskaya - an active, lively, lively girl. Many people have already passed the audition, but Leonid didn’t accept a single one - it wasn’t all right. Yes, he rejected Yana herself as soon as he saw her photo. The facial features didn’t match, everything was wrong!
However, when the director was completely desperate to find “Little Red Riding Hood,” he still invited the future celebrity to audition. Poplavskaya, who arrived, sat opposite the eminent director and, not knowing what to do, began to casually recite nursery rhymes that came to her mind. At that moment it dawned on Nechaev - this is what he had been looking for for so long! The leading lady was finally found.
The girl herself was delighted: this was her first serious work in the acting field. In addition, her colleagues on the set were well-known actors at the time, who, to Poplavskaya’s surprise, did not treat her like a little girl, on the contrary.
The actors gave her advice and helped her as an equal, which made Yana feel like an adult in this children's film. All the actors and site workers became very attached to the little artist, she became their favorite, and many even worried about her.
The role of Little Red Riding Hood became not only the most beloved for millions of viewers, but Yana herself also loved it. The girl she played on the set was very similar to her - fidgety, with an eternal smile on her lips. In addition, the adults, who always tried to help and advise, made this filming a real school of life for the future movie star.
To this day, the woman remembers those events with warmth.
Childhood and youth
Unfortunately, there is not much comprehensive information about the early and youthful years of the chosen one of the Soviet Little Red Riding Hood. Except that Evgeniy Anatolyevich was born on June 16, 1982 in the Siberian city of Irkutsk, located on the banks of the Angara. What little Zhenya looked like as a child can be seen thanks to Yana Evgenievna’s Facebook account.

And unhappiness is just a bad choice...” Happy Birthday!!! Always make the right choice and may happiness always live in your life! Published by Yana Poplavskaya Saturday, June 16, 2020
Evgeny Yakovlev in childhood
Every year a woman tries to publish pictures of her husband from the past - in 2017, a publication appeared that depicted a serious baby in a checkered shirt near a bush. In 2018, there was a photograph where a boy was captured at home against the background of toys (among them the symbol of the 2014 Olympics Cheburashka and his friend the crocodile Gena) wearing headphones with a microphone. It seems that the child knew from a young age what he would become when he grew up.
No information has been provided at which school Yakovlev attended. But it is known that the future radio host received his “tower” degree at the Kursk Institute of Management, Economics and Business.
Other film roles of the actress
Despite the enormous success of Little Red Riding Hood, Yana still did not want to become an actress. She was attracted by another, more precise profession - the profession of a doctor. And although her interest was great, Poplavskaya did not want to refuse the roles offered to her.
So, she played in the film “Vanity of Vanities” from director Alla Surikova, and only then with her beloved Nechaev in the film “Accept a telegram on credit.”
Poplavskaya’s talent was noted by everyone, and therefore it is not surprising that every year she was increasingly overwhelmed by directors with offers to star in their films.
Already almost in her final year of school, the girl starred in the melodrama “Adolescent Age,” which was especially liked by both ordinary viewers and critics.
The girl played her “very last” role (at the insistence of her mother) with Gleb Panfilov in the film “Vassa”. The master of Soviet cinema spent some time to persuade Yana, who was busy preparing for the entrance exams for the journalism department, to star in his film.
This role turned out to be especially good: for one of the scenes, Poplavskaya came up with the idea of pretending to faint and secretly practiced falling “unconscious” naturally, without trying to group herself or bend her legs.
When, having already learned how to do this, Yana pretended to faint on the set, the whole group was confused: some ran to bring her to her senses, some ran to call an ambulance, and some did not understand what had happened at all. When the director realized how magnificent the young artist’s performance was, he was amazed. It was decided to leave the shot with Poplavskaya losing her senses.
After filming, the girl entered the Boris Shchukin Theater Institute, because she missed the entrance exams for the journalism department and decided to enroll in the theater. And although at first she was mistaken only for a movie actress, soon everyone was convinced that this was completely wrong. She played a lot in the theater and acted in films much less often.
During the 80s and 90s, she only starred in the films “The Prisoner of the Chateau d’If”, “The Secret of Queen Anne, or The Musketeers Thirty Years Later”.
Much later, with her participation, the films “Gloss” by Andrei Konchalovsky and “Decent People”, directed by her son, Klim, were released.
Boys and grandmothers: Russian stars who live with young husbands
In the modern world, unions in which a man is much older than a woman have long ceased to surprise anyone. However, couples in which the wife is significantly older than her husband are still treated with contempt and wariness. The heroines of my review today are desperately fighting public opinion and trying in every possible way to destroy stereotypes. Today I want to talk about famous women and their young husbands.
Nadezhda Babkina
At the very beginning of her relationship with singer Yevgeny Gore, a wave of criticism hit Babkina. Many did not understand why an adult woman with life experience needed a young guy. Everyone was sure that the singer would play enough with Evgeniy, like a toy, and throw him away, but that was not the case, their union was already more than seventeen years old.
Now Nadezhda is sixty-nine years old, and her lover is thirty-nine. Married to Evgeniy, Babkina began to look much younger. She is trying to match her handsome husband.
Nonna Grishaeva
The talented and spontaneous Grishaeva develops in various planes. She acts in films, performs on the theater stage, goes on tour, regularly appears at various events as a presenter and sings. In addition, she is also a caring mother and loving wife.
Looking at this luxurious and cheerful woman, it is difficult to believe that she is already forty-eight years old. It is quite possible that the key to her blooming appearance lies in the family happiness and well-being that actor Alexander Nesterov gave her. The fact that her husband is twelve years younger than Nonna does not bother her one bit.
Yana Poplavskaya
After a painful breakup with Sergei Ginzburg, Yana could not come to her senses for a long time. The couple lived together for twenty-five years, and divorced because of Sergei’s infidelities.
Only four years after breaking up with her husband, Poplavskaya decided on a new relationship. Her chosen one was radio host Evgeny Yakovlev, who is twelve years younger than Yana. Despite this age misalliance, Yana and Evgeniy are a very harmonious couple who look great together.
Lera Kudryavtseva
Most of the TV presenter's boyfriends were much younger than herself. The affair with Sergei Lazarev, which unfolded before the eyes of the whole country, did not end in anything. Many still believe that this was a well-planned PR campaign, which was used as a cover for Lazarev’s homosexual inclinations. One way or another, Kudryavtseva is now happily married to hockey player Igor Makarov.
At the moment, Lera is forty-eight years old, and her chosen one is only thirty-one. In August 2020, the TV presenter gave birth to her husband’s daughter, Maria. According to Lera, Igor is a wonderful husband and father.
Jasmine
The singer is ten years older than her boyfriend, billionaire Ilan Shor. But this fact did not affect their relationship in any way. While Sarah is raising her children, her husband continually finds himself at the center of various scandals related to financial fraud.
Not long ago, Ilan even received a suspended sentence. All this time, Jasmine, like a devoted wife, was waiting for her husband’s return from pre-trial detention. Their family was reunited late last year.
Yana Rudkovskaya
Spiteful critics did not believe in the seriousness of the relationship between the producer and the skater, but they stood the test of time. At the time of their acquaintance, Yana and Evgeniy were not free, but this did not become an obstacle to their love, not to mention the seven-year age difference. In 2012, the couple had a son, Alexander, whom they often call Gnome Gnomych in public.
Already, the kid is a star of fashion catalogs and shows excellent results in figure skating. It seems that very little time will pass before another Plushenko will ascend to the Olympic podium.

Career as a TV and radio presenter
Already as a child, the girl starred in television programs for children: “Alarm Clock”, “ABVGDeyka”.
As she grew in the acting field, the girl increasingly asked herself the question: where should she stop? She managed to simultaneously act in films, perform in the theater, work in television and radio. It was necessary to make a decision, and Poplavskaya made a choice in favor of cinema and television.
So, after filming numerous films, Yana hosted the “Videomix” program, and after 2010, the TV show “Vremechka”. She occasionally appeared on screen in TV series and even less often in films, paying more and more attention to programs on television and radio.
She also took and continues to take part in programs (“Ministry of Culture” and “VIP Limit”) on City-FM radio.
Biography
Yana Poplavskaya was born on June 28, 1967 in Moscow, in a family of creative workers - Evgeniy Vasilyevich and Evgeniya Yuryevna Poplavsky[1].

From the age of 7 she was engaged in rhythmic gymnastics, a candidate for master of sports. The director of the Taganka Theater Yuri Lyubimov brought her to the stage in the play “Crossroads”, where her mother played. At the age of four she made her film debut in Sergei Kolosov’s film “Remember Your Name.” During editing, the role was cut out, but the girl began to be invited to star in other films. The role of Little Red Riding Hood in Leonid Nechaev’s film “About Little Red Riding Hood” became a great success. According to Yana Poplavskaya, for this role at the age of 11 she was awarded the USSR State Prize for the best child role [K 1]. Graduated from the Theater School named after. Shchukin (course of Alla Kazanskaya), and in her last year in 1987 she was expelled by rector V. Etush for absenteeism related to her participation in the filming of the film “The Prisoner of the Chateau d'If” in Odessa. She was able to recover and soon defended her diploma.
She was married[5] to producer Sergei Ginzburg for 25 years, with two sons: Klim (1985) and Nikita (1996)[6].
She worked at the Sovremennik 2 Theater, then at V. Livanov’s Detective Theater (now the Cherry Orchard). Since 1991, Yana Poplavskaya has been on television, in 1994-1995 she hosted the “Videomix” program and until 2010, the “Vremechko” TV show. Works for radio "City-FM", hosts the programs "Ministry of Culture" and "VIP-limit". He teaches at the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University and at the Ostankino Institute of Television and Radio Broadcasting. Academician of the Russian Television Academy.
In 2013, Yana Poplavskaya coordinated the collection of humanitarian aid for the families of flood victims in the Amur region, participated in organizing the delivery of goods to the disaster zone, and worked in the region as a volunteer[7][8].
At the Amur Autumn festival in Blagoveshchensk, Yana Poplavskaya was awarded the prize of the Governor of the Amur Region Oleg Kozhemyako “for invaluable assistance to flood victims”[9].
Personal life
Yana was very lucky with her career, but with her personal life things were completely different.
Her first husband, Sergei Ginzburg, worked on the set and, by luck, it was there that he met Poplavskaya during the filming of a commercial. And although Yana’s parents did not approve of their daughter’s choice, she still connected her life with Sergei.
They lived together for a long time, but without marriage: the man talked about the stupidity of marriage, and the actress loved him so much that she did not want to contradict him. Only in 1985, after the birth of their first child, Klim, did they decide to get married. At the same moment, the first unpleasant truth about Yana’s chosen one became clear - he was already married and was already a father. Only a few years later he divorced and married a second time, this time to Poplavskaya.
Even after the wedding, the couple rarely saw each other: Yana was always busy filming, and Sergei was on tour with the theater. The only thing that united them for short moments of meetings was their son. His parents really loved him and, although they lived modestly, they tried to provide their son with everything he needed. However, Klim alone was not enough to reduce the distance between Yana and her husband.
During the second pregnancy, a terrible thing happened - the unborn child’s heart stopped, and the doctors were unable to save him. Moreover, they gave Yana a terrible verdict - she would no longer have children.
For any woman, the loss of a child will be a terrible blow. Poplavskaya was no exception, literally plunging into the pool of despair before our eyes. Her husband, whom she so needed at those moments, disappeared in the garage, not giving his wife due attention and care. At the same time, he assured that he still loved her and was just as worried about the death of the unborn child, he just didn’t show his emotions. And Yana believed.
After a year, despite the doctors’ verdict, the woman became pregnant again. This pregnancy turned out to be a difficult test for Poplavskaya: she had to take pills to save the child, and in the last stages of pregnancy she had to go to the hospital. There was still a great risk of losing the baby, and then the woman ordered the doctors: “Cut me, but save my son!” The husband demanded the opposite.
Fortunately, both mother and son were saved, but not the marriage of Poplavskaya and Ginzburg.
The second son, Nikita, constantly required special care, slept extremely poorly and cried constantly. Yana was left alone with her problems - her husband did not help her at all. Sergei made an excuse by being busy at work, but the family did not add money. The actress herself could not act, because during her pregnancy she gained a lot of weight while taking hormonal pills. But there was nowhere to go.
Quickly getting herself into shape, the actress went back to work, forgiving her unlucky husband once again, almost for the last time.
The final nail in the coffin of their marriage was the appearance of Sergei’s mistress. Yana found out about this by chance, from colleagues who were embarrassed to know these details and work together with Poplavskaya. They were not disgusted, but they were incredibly sorry for the artist, who had suffered so much lately. Finally, after many years of marriage and life together, the actress stopped engaging in self-deception and kicked her husband out. Later, the whole country learns about the difficult divorce process, which turned into a scandal and mutual accusations through the media.
No matter how difficult the divorce was, Poplavskaya was happy about it; she literally felt how she was freed from the extra burden in her life that had been dragging her to the bottom for 25 years.
In 2020, the woman met radio host Evgeny Yakovlev, and after that a romance began between them, which spilled over into life together. Evgeniy is 12 years younger than his chosen one, but this does not bother him or Yana one bit, and they are planning to get married in the near future.
“Happiness is when you are understood”
Yana Poplavskaya and Evgeny Yakovlev.
Yana Poplavskaya met Evgeny Yakovlev while she was married to Sergei Ginzburg. Her family was already falling apart at all the seams, but Yana, after another conversation with her husband, decided to give them both a chance to fix everything. She chose her husband, and Evgeniy, with whom she co-hosted a radio program, simply disappeared from her life. He managed to get married, become the father of a daughter and separate from his wife.
They somehow met by chance and could no longer part. Feelings washed over them with renewed vigor, but neither Yana nor Evgeniy even thought of resisting them. They dated for a long time, then decided to try to build a life together and, it seems, everything worked out for them.
Yana Poplavskaya and Evgeny Yakovlev.
Now Yana Poplavskaya knows: there are men in the world who are ready to protect their woman from any adversity, lend their shoulder and take responsibility for the fate of their loved one. Evgeny Yakovlev is 12 years younger than Yana Poplavskaya. But it was he who made her believe in miracles again, warmed her with his love and taught her to trust.
Interesting facts about Yana Poplavskaya
At the end of the filming of “About Little Red Riding Hood,” Yana Poplavskaya received her heroine’s headdress as a gift from director Leonid Nechaev. And the voice of Little Red Riding Hood during the performance of her famous song belongs not to Poplavskaya, but to young Olya Rozhdestvenskaya (whose mother sang the part of the She-Wolf).
Not long ago, Yana Poplavskaya began teaching at the journalism department at Moscow State University.
The actress refused many films in which she was offered to star, arguing that she did not want to become an actress in “shooters” and thoughtless films. After her wonderful film roles, she had to either come back with something amazing or not come back at all.
For some time she played in the Sovremennik-2 theaters, the Stanislavsky Theater and some creative workshops.
Initially, she did not want to star in the film “Vassa”, because her mother insisted on enrolling in the journalism department. However, when Evgenia found out who was inviting Yana to act, she began to beg her daughter to accept the offer. It didn’t take long to persuade Poplavskaya.
As a child, she wanted to become a neurosurgeon, but her grandmother, who had previously taught her the basics of first aid, dissuaded her from this idea.
By the way, Yana’s ability to suture came in handy: she sewed back a hamster’s ear that had been torn off by a cat.
Yana Poplavskaya will get married next spring: “I agreed in the fifth year”
Yana Poplavskaya is getting married! Why did the actress refuse marriage proposals for almost five years? What made the star change his mind? How many people is the artist going to invite to the celebration? And where will the newlyweds live after the wedding? Details are in the Channel Five program “Gossip Chronicle”.
“They ask when they will see me as a bride. Go and report,” Poplavskaya flirts with the young chosen one.
The 52-year-old actress and the 40-year-old announcer met more than ten years ago in the office of one of the radio stations.
“I run into the studio and say: “Whose is this such a beautiful and sexy voice? Show me the man!” — the actress recalls with a smile.
Their romance developed rapidly. Evgeniy wanted to see Yana as his wife so much that a few months later he proposed. But the actress unexpectedly refused.
“Well, you know, I’m a coward, I defended my first marriage, you know, like a soldier who was shaved into a soldier,” Yana admits.
Since then, Yakovlev several times suggested that his beloved legitimize the relationship. But the artist answered every time: no.
“I finally agreed in the fifth year,” Yana Poplavskaya told reporters.
“He says that until I turn five, I won’t get married. “I’ll check you first,” says Evgeniy.
Recently, everyone’s favorite “Little Red Riding Hood” posted a photo on her page - in it Yana is standing with a bouquet of flowers. Poplavskaya has tears in her eyes. The TV presenter married her youngest son Nikita.
“I’m already hoping that I’ll finally be able to attend my mom’s wedding. Finally, I can congratulate her, and, in fact, I would like to walk her to the altar,” the actress’s son sincerely rejoices.
Nikita and his young wife Valeria decided not to have a lavish celebration and modestly sat with family and friends in a restaurant. Will his famous mother follow her son's example?
“We want to do everything beautifully, arrange it so that all close friends will be there,” Evgeniy shares his plans.
“But, really, the number that we just counted is at least a hundred, if he’s joking. These are only close ones,” Poplavskaya does not hide her surprise.
In addition to the wedding, the actress and her chosen one have another important event ahead.
“We are building a big house. Well, how big. It’s not very big, we’re just building a country house. As soon as we finish it, we’ll invite our friends there,” the radio host promises.
A few years ago, Yana and Evgeniy bought a plot of land in the village of Aleshino near Moscow, just an hour’s drive from the bustling capital. The land cost the couple 1.5 million rubles.
“It’s very cool when there is a river right next to your house,” the radio host says with delight.
“In fact, there is the Uchinskoe reservoir nearby,” explains Yakovlev.
"It is forbidden! You can't swim! Kosha, come here! You can’t swim, what are you doing?” — the actress noisily drives her pet away from the water.
Since then, construction there has been in full swing. Residents of the village called the future Poplavskaya mansion the house of Little Red Riding Hood.
“We’re getting ready to leave, we’re meeting, well, our neighbors. And they, naturally, were delighted and said: “Oh! This will be Little Red Riding Hood’s house!” - the TV presenter laughs.
The designer prepared a project for Yana and Evgeny for their fairytale house. On it you can even see one of the heroes of the fairy tale - the gray wolf.
The actress and radio host shared: by spring, when the long-awaited wedding is planned, the renovation will be completed.
“We want to combine the wedding with a housewarming,” says Poplavskaya dreamily.
Earlier, 5-tv.ru wrote that Yana Poplavskaya does not plan to give birth to her young husband.
