Karina Mishulina

Biography

Karina Mishulina is a Russian theater and film actress, familiar to television viewers from her role as a biology teacher in the popular comedy series Fizruk. Today, all of Russia is watching her conflict with actor Timur Eremeev, who claims that he is the illegitimate son of her father, People’s Artist of the RSFSR Spartak Mishulin. The actors became frequent guests of the talk shows “Let Them Talk”, “Live Broadcast” and projects of the NTV channel.

Karina Mishulina against the exhumation of Spartak Mishulina

In the history of the confrontation between Timur Eremeev and Karina Mishulina, another person appears. Karina states that this whole story was set up by a certain woman, Olga Chermenskaya, who is taking revenge on the Mishulin family for past grievances.

All of Russia is watching with bated breath the “television series” called “Timur Eremeev vs. Karina Mishulina.” The guy who fell on the Mishulins last year claims that he is the illegitimate son of the famous actor Spartak Mishulin, which, naturally, did not please the family of the deceased. For almost a year now they have been trying to prove that Timur is a false son who wants to slander the head of the family, but the results of a DNA test conducted by one of the TV channels indicate the opposite.

In turn, Karina today informed the public that Timur is only a puppet in the hands of a certain businesswoman Olga Chermenskaya, who decided in this way to get even for past grievances. It turned out that “Mama Olya” (as her friends and colleagues call her) appeared in the Mishulin family only at the funeral, introducing herself as the deceased’s cousin. Karina says that at one time the relatives of Chermenskaya and the Mishulins were simply “friends,” and little Olga in her youth began to have strong feelings for Spartak, and even hoped for a relationship with him. But the affair did not happen, because the man categorically did not want it.

After the unexpected appearance, Olga began to communicate and even help the Mishulins cope with their bereavement, and recently Karina found out that Chermenskaya was clearly playing on both sides, because she found pictures of her and Timur on the Internet, dating back to 2011.

“I went to his social network, saw that we had twenty mutual friends, and one of the first comments was hers, where she wrote: “Another Spartachok has appeared!”, noted Karina.

As she says, she contacted Olga to clarify the situation, but received only sarcastic answers and a call to her mother, where Chermenskaya seemed to “laugh” at her and her story. Karina says that it was not in vain that “Mama Olya” went to their house all these years and all the time collected information about their family, carefully looked at the pictures, asked various facts from their lives, and discussed family problems.

“One day we were sitting, and she suddenly asked a question: “Valush, in what year did you go to Riga? Where did they live, and what did they do there? Where did you go?" Then I found out that at the same time Tatyana Eremeeva was in Riga, who seemed to be grilling shish kebab for my dad,” notes Mishulina.

Currently, Karina is faced with the question of who Olga Chermenskaya is - maybe she is a relative or close friend of the Ermeevs? Since Timur’s mother, who is a watchman, clearly cannot afford a vacation in Nice, where “Oli’s Mom” fortunately has a house. Mishulina also wonders why she needs all this? And why Timur, if he is so confident that he is right, has not yet done an examination in court to definitely prove to everyone that he is the son of Spartak Mishulin. She also admits that it may come to the exhumation of her father's body, but she does not want to resort to such radical measures.

“For the sake of this swindler, I don’t want to go as far as exhumation,” Mishulina clarified.

Karina Mishulina and her father Spartak Mishulin
Spartak Vasilyevich doted on his daughter, so from an early age he took her with him to rehearsals and performances of the Satire Theater in which he served. Karina was 2 years old when she first appeared on stage as an actress. While still a preschooler, she managed to collaborate with such legendary personalities as Anatoly Papanov and Olga Aroseva, appearing with them in the plays “Running” and “Pippi Longstocking.”

Of course, growing up in a creative environment, the girl made a choice towards a career as an actress and entered the Shchepkin Theater School, which she graduated in 2000.

The other day, on the air of the “Let Them Talk” program, the results of the next, third, genetic study were announced - as it turned out, with a probability of 99.8%, Karina Mishulina and Timur Eremeev are brother and sister. The studio claimed that they received a conclusion from a laboratory in the United States, where the material was forwarded from Sweden. However, Mishulina, together with lawyer Valery Panasyuk, conducted their own investigation and doubted the authenticity of what was passed off as an expert’s opinion. They were alarmed by the date on the document. It is known that in the USA they first indicate the month and then put the date, but on the envelope the order was different.

“We contacted this clinic, everyone there spoke Spanish. They found out that they could not convey anything like that to anyone. We contacted the Swedish office and received a similar response. They said that a Russian woman called and asked for the results. We noticed that the envelope has a different seal than what they have on their official website. It is impossible to state that 99.8% is a relationship. According to GOST, it is 99.9%,” said Valery Panasyuk.

Karina is also surprised by the suggestion that she stole chopsticks from a Japanese restaurant that Timur used. They assured that it was thanks to them that the genetic material was obtained. “Is this how you have to put sticks in your mouth so that biomaterial remains? And how could I get them to the laboratory? Should I have come with a suitcase to take it out?” – Mishulina argues.

Now Karina has to deal with another alleged relative in the courts. Eduard Sorokin considers himself the grandson of Spartak Vasilyevich and tried to prove this before the law. But the servants of Themis did not take his side and refused to satisfy the claim. Mishulina and her lawyer tried to reconstruct events from the life of Alexandra Sorokina, Eduard’s grandmother. According to their information, she married in 1944 and not at all to Spartak Vasilyevich, but to a certain man with the last name Vasiliev and gave birth to a son, Vladimir.

“His grandmother was not a ballerina, but worked as a mass entertainer. She married Vasiliev and began working on the Kommunar collective farm. And my dad began working in the city of Kalinin in 1947,” Karina answered.

Now Karina is offended that so much controversy is unfolding around her father, who died 13 years ago. But recently Mishulina learned about what might actually lie behind this story. In her opinion, an old acquaintance is friends with Timur and is trying to settle personal scores with his mother Valentina Konstantinovna. Eremeev showed his birth certificate after Mishulina’s claims

“I’m sure this is Olga Chermenskaya. 12 years ago she pretended to be my father’s relative and came to visit. As it turned out, Timur has known her since 2010. He flies to Nice three times a year, I see them all together. Once she wanted to woo her dad, but he kicked her off, this is an order. Ridiculous revenge,” Mishulina suggested during the NSN press conference.

Theater

The girl could work with her own father on the same stage, as Spartak Mishulin dreamed, Karina had some kind of incredible spiritual connection with him, but the young graduate decided that at the Satire Theater everyone would perceive her only as Mishulin’s daughter, so she accepted an offer from a small Theater on Perovskaya.

Thanks to collaboration with this theater group, Karina managed to re-perform the entire classical repertoire in her youth, which includes plays by William Shakespeare, Jean-Baptiste Molière and other authors. At the same time, together with the artists of the enterprise, Mishulina tried herself in the modern repertoire.

Performing in private performances, Karina achieved fame as a theater actress and received a considerable number of prizes at various festivals. Later, she nevertheless accepted the invitation of the artistic director of the Satire Theater Alexander Shirvindt and continued the dynasty on the legendary stage.

Movies

While Karina Mishulina quickly achieved success in the theater, she appeared in films only sporadically for a long time. She starred in the famous TV series “Strawberry Cafe”, “Lyuba, Children” and many others, but a completely different role brought her widespread fame and recognition.

The actress’s finest hour came in 2014, when she accepted the invitation of director Fyodor Stukov and starred in the youth sitcom Fizruk. She got the role of biology teacher Svetlana Ermakova, and Mishulina’s partner on the set was the famous actor and TV presenter Dmitry Nagiyev.

In the 1st season, the heroine of Karina Mishulina was in love with the physical education teacher Foma, the hero of Nagiyev. But already in the 17th episode of the same season, the on-screen romance ended. From this moment on, Svetlana meets with Foma's friend, chemistry teacher Lev Plyukhin (Evgeniy Kulakov), nicknamed the Quiet Lion. In episode 19, the couple gets married.

In an interview, the actress noted that before filming explicit scenes with Dmitry Nagiyev, she felt awkward. But Karina did not have to act completely naked - the artist was sewn a flesh-colored suit, which at the necessary moments gave the impression of a naked body. In order to support his partner, at the presentation of the film, Nagiyev, out of friendly intentions, called Mishulina “the best woman in his bed.”

After the premiere of the 1st season, “Fizruk” received audience love and recognition. According to information collected by TNS Gallup, the comedy series took 5th place in popularity among all programs on Russian television. The ratings allowed the film to be renewed for a 2nd season, which premiered in November 2014. The new episodes showed consistently high ratings, so Fizruk was continued in the 3rd and 4th seasons.

Also in 2020, after the completion of filming of the series, its creators announced the start of work on the full-length film “Fizruk Saves Russia” about the new adventures of a former bandit from the 90s. Karina Mishulina also joined the cast of the comedy, but later the filming process was suspended.

This year, the actress’s filmography was supplemented only by a cameo role in the melodrama “Cycle,” created by an international group of filmmakers. The film was included in the broadcast network of the Russia-1 channel.

Personal life

For the first time, Karina Mishulina got married, barely graduating from theater school. Moreover, she married her husband Oleg without informing her parents. The young family did not last long: Oleg, having accumulated about 30 loans, abandoned his wife and their joint daughter Christina.

Later, she nevertheless met a man who, according to the actress herself, reminds her of her father in character. Mathematician Ivan Korobov, originally from Baku, was once returning from a business trip and, unexpectedly for himself, took a different road than he had planned. On the Garden Ring he saw a girl singing and decided to give her a ride. Caught in a traffic jam, they started talking, after which they dated for a year and a half, and got married in October 2020. Karina and Ivan consider their meeting a sign of fate.

In 2020, the celebrity was distracted from productive acting work by the scandal that erupted around the Mishulin family. Despite the fact that the actress has 2 divorces behind her, and the family has two children, Karina Mishulina’s personal life is not as interested in the press and television viewers as the biography of her father Spartak Mishulin.

In October 2020, the young theater and film actor Timur Eremeev announced that he is the illegitimate son of Spartak Mishulin. According to the actor, he knew from childhood who his father was, but was able to discover the truth only 12 years after his death. Timur’s scandalous statement became the topic of several “Let Them Talk” programs on Channel One.

Show “Let Them Talk” - Did Spartak Mishulin have a secret son?

Karina Mishulina and Valentina Mishulina did not accept their new “relative”. The daughter and wife of Spartak called Timur an impostor, and also sued the man, claiming that he had slandered Spartak Mishulin and insulted his memory.

The parties conducted a DNA test, the results of which were awaited by the whole country. At the same time, a number of TV viewers were already sure that the young actor was not lying, due to the obvious resemblance to Spartak Mishulin. On December 4, Dmitry Borisov, on the air of the “Let Them Talk,” read out the results of a study that confirmed that Spartak Mishulin is Timur’s father.

Show “Let Them Talk” - Timur Eremeev: “Mishulin is my father, and Karina is not my sister”

At the end of 2020, the name of Spartak Mishulin again appeared in the media, this time in connection with a statement by Eduard Sorokin. He called himself the artist’s grandson and threatened to sue Karina and her mother for part of the property - 1/3 of their apartment on Sadovo-Triumfalnaya Street in Moscow, which the women inherited from the head of the family. According to Karina Mishulina, the scandal was created artificially by the editors of the program “Let Them Talk,” where Sorokin’s version was voiced. Despite the fact that Edward was the first to file a lawsuit, he lost the trial.

In 2020, the conflict between Mishulina and Eremeev, despite their public reconciliation on the air of the talk show “Let Them Talk,” continued. This time a new lawsuit was filed on behalf of Karina Mishulina's mother. Valentina Konstantinovna demanded that Timur reimburse moral and material costs.

The facts that the young man provided to reporters were called untrue and discrediting the honor and dignity of Mishulin. Since the woman was unable to attend the trial due to health reasons, her interests were represented by Karina. According to the actress, she was unable to dissuade her mother from withdrawing the lawsuit.

Later, the story of the sister and brother became the plot of a multi-part program on the NTV channel “Mishulins. The battle for my father." At the beginning of summer, a spark of misunderstanding again ran between the supposed relatives. The reason for this was Eremeev’s new job as a TV presenter of Channel One’s documentary program “Family Secrets.” Karina is sure that the artist got into the project only thanks to patronage. Timur himself does not agree with this statement.

The widow of Spartak Mishulina lost the case to the illegitimate son of her late husband

As MK previously reported, the illegitimate son of Spartak Mishulin became known at the end of the summer of 2020, after the issue of the magazine “Caravan of Stories” was published. It published an interview with 33-year-old actor Timur Eremeev. He said that the People's Artist of the USSR is his father. This news came like thunder from a clear sky. For the official Mishulin family, the news came as a shock. They filed a lawsuit. However, after, at the request of Mishulin’s daughter Karina, a DNA examination was carried out, which recognized Eremeev as the artist’s son, Karina withdrew her claim and even introduced her newly-made brother to her daughters. But her mother Valentina Mishulina decided to fight to the end, defending the name of her late husband. She called the information presented in the article a lie that insulted her beloved man.

Defendant Timur Eremeev did not come to the last meeting due to a tour in Surgut. A witness spoke at the trial - former vice-president of the National Chamber of Experts, lawyer Mikhail Tsivin, who is the husband of actress Natalya Drozhzhina.

— We lived in the same house with Spartak Mishulin. My wife acted in films with him. He consulted with me as a lawyer. We were quite close friends, also as motorists. We were connected by true male friendship. My wife and I knew the Spartak Mishulin family very well. Karina grew up before our eyes, her father doted on her. He was a loving husband and a very touching father. I didn't know about any hobbies. As it turned out, Timur’s mother worked as a concierge in this house. But I only found out about this recently. I didn’t know the details of my personal life. Mishulin toured a lot, he did not have free time, but he was always surrounded by female actresses.

The second witness is Evgenia Solovyova, a fashion designer and the widow of the Komsomol organizer of the Cosmonaut Training Center German Solovyov. She knew the family of Spartak Mishulin closely.

— Since 1960, my husband has been friends with Mishulin. In 1980, I married German Solovyov, I became Karina’s godmother. We communicated very often, spent all holidays together, rented a dacha in the same village. I spent the best years of my life with this family. Valentina never complained to me about her husband, I swear. They never fought. This family is the standard of relationships. I have never seen Timur Eremeev’s mother in the circle of Spartak Mishulin. “I have never heard of any second woman or son,” Solovyova said.

In addition to Eremeev, the publishing house “Seven Days” and journalist Victoria Kataeva were also defendants. They all asked to dismiss Valentina Mishulina’s claim. Her interests were represented by her daughter Karina. She said the interview caused irreparable harm to the entire family. “We are disgraced throughout the country! They made my father a bigamist and a womanizer!”

As a result, the Tushinsky Court of Moscow rejected the plaintiff’s claims in full.

This decision was met with applause from Timur Eremeev's supporters.

Karina Mishulina again appeared in a cameo role. The main characters were presented by Anton Khabarov and Elena Nikolaeva. The film premiered in early summer 2019.

Spartak's widow Mishulina was hospitalized with a stroke

For several months, Spartak's daughter Mishulina and Timur Eremeev have been arguing on talk shows and in the courtroom. Karina Mishulina and her mother categorically refuse to recognize Timur as a relative, despite the conclusions of the DNA examination. The widow and daughter of the famous actor are trying to prove that Eremeev is a fraudster who wants to profit from the name of Spartak Vasilyevich.

On Monday, the Mishulins’ lawyer Valery Panasyuk said that the artist’s widow was hospitalized in a Moscow hospital in serious condition.

“72-year-old Valentina Konstantinovna felt ill after she saw announcements of the next episodes of the talk show “Let Them Talk” on Channel One, dedicated to her family. She had a stroke and required emergency hospitalization,” the family’s lawyer told a correspondent of the Dni.Ru portal.

According to the lawyer, Valentina Konstantinovna is now in the clinic. Doctors are doing everything necessary to stabilize her condition. Valery Panasyuk added that the Mishulin family managed to refute Eduard Sorokin’s claims that he is the grandson of the famous actor: “We recently received good news in court, but the pressure on Valentina Konstantinovna is terrible. And her body couldn’t handle it.”

Valery Panasyuk is sure that a massive attack in the press is planned against Mishulin’s widow: “We see that an older woman is simply being bullied, there is outright persecution.

Therefore, we will file claims for a ban on interference with privacy. Valentina Konstantinovna always said that she would defend the good name of her late husband and would not allow persons who were not relatives to kick him,” summed up the lawyer of the Mishulin family.

Timur Eremeev

Previously, Spartak’s daughter Mishulina admitted that she regrets her agreement to take part in programs about her father. The actress said that at that time there was a lot of pressure on her family, which scared her and her loved ones. Karina hoped to find protection and help by participating in the TV show: “There was terrible persecution, we were threatened. My children received such threats... I was deprived of my job... They threatened employers that if they worked with me, they, too, would not work anywhere else. There were threats to life and so on,” the artist admitted.

Karina Mishulina also stated that Timur Eremeev, together with his accomplices, planned a large-scale hoax: “This boy is a nobody, this boy had plastic surgery to look like him.”

Timur Eremeev himself has repeatedly stated that he has no material claims against the family of the famous artist, but only wants to restore his connection with his father’s name. Earlier, Mark Rudinstein, Stanislav Sadalsky and Mishulin’s concert director in Yakutia, Alexander Dobrynin, told reporters that many years ago they knew both about Spartak Vasilyevich’s relationship with Timur’s mother and about the presence of an illegitimate son.
