Biography
Theater and film actor Sergei Mukhin admits that St. Petersburg is his favorite city in the world, in which every house, every block evokes warm memories of childhood.
This city is rightfully considered one of the theater capitals of Russia. There are a total of 185 theaters in St. Petersburg, so it is not surprising that even in his school years Sergei Mukhin became a fan of melpomene. He studied in a drama club and at the age of 12 was already an amateur theater star. When he announced to his relatives that he would go to Moscow to enter a theater university, they were not surprised. But there were other options when choosing a profession. “Around the age of 16, I read a biography of Jack London, and it was written there that he changed 20 professions before becoming a writer,” the actor recalls. I was very impressed. I started taking various courses, including leather dressing, received a diploma in legal counsel, worked in the police, studied music... I specifically got a job at a factory, worked in the workshop at the press.” After school, Sergei Mukhin entered GITIS, which he graduated in 2001. “I think that you should leave home at 17-18 years old. At least for young men, this is a mandatory rite of passage, an irreplaceable experience,” says Sergei.
Biography of Dmitry Mozzhukhin
The musician’s hometown is Kolomna.
Dmitry Mozzhukhin
It was here that the musician and his friends created the group “Give me a tank (!)”.
Dmitry sang well since childhood. It is not surprising that he became the vocalist in this group.
For a long time now, the biography of this musician has been closely connected with his brainchild. It was born in 2007. It was then that the musically gifted guys decided to create a band.
As Dmitry himself says, when he was still a schoolboy, he already sang well and played the guitar. At this time, he liked to gather various musical groups, which was useful for the young talent in the future.
As for the “Give me a tank (!)” group, it now has 5 members. Maxim Kulsha is a guitarist, Alexander Timofeev is a saxophonist, Sergey Akimov plays bass guitar, Ilya Gerasimenko is in charge of drums. Dmitry Mozzhukhin – vocalist.

Theater
After GITIS, Mukhin worked at the Mossovet Theater, collaborated with Partnership 814 and the A. Kazantsev and M. Roshchin Center. The audience started talking about him after the role of Lekha in the production of “Plasticine” by Kirill Serebrennikov. “It’s not clear what all this consisted of. It feels like you are doing everything yourself, but without Kirill nothing would have worked out. He knows how to turn a person around, to direct his attention inward. He has very powerful energy, and at the same time he is a man of insane charm. Of course, I would like to work with him again,” says Sergei.
With the play “Twelfth Night,” directed by Declan Donelan, Sergei Mukhin toured in Japan, Australia, Colombia and other countries. The actors on stage spoke Russian, and the translation was in a crawl, which did not bother the audience - the performance made an impression.
Sergei says that he is proud of his theatrical works, because in the theater they are more accurate. He calls the theater his home, where process and stability are present, and he compares cinema to an exciting journey.
"Archangel"
There is no information about the writer’s biography, his education and private life. He prefers not to disclose it. Mukhin chose a career as a writer. The young man published his first works in Samizdat.
He did not become instantly famous. His creations paved the way for the creator to become famous. The author's creativity is distinguished by a huge variety of forms. New details are unexpectedly revealed in the story, and intrigue appears.
Heroes evoke admiration for various reasons. It is impossible not to admire the written stories. Denis Mukhin is recognized as one of the most famous authors who chose the fantasy genre. One of the iconic works is “Archangel”.
The main character has a responsible mission. He protects the world from the penetration of dark forces. Artazel is a spiritual being. He immediately evokes sympathy due to the presence of qualities inherent in a person. The hero has to work a lot to improve.
He strives to achieve the ideal. There are many obstacles on his way that temporarily deprive Artazel of self-confidence. However, what saves him is the confidence that he is obliged to act, despite all doubts. The book was created for those readers who like to reflect on what they read, draw conclusions, and assume further development of the plot. This work is aimed at those who value lasting meaning.
The book introduces you to the real universe and allows you to go beyond the boundaries of your usual consciousness. In style, the creation resembles a confidential conversation between the author and the reader. It’s best to start getting acquainted with Mukhin’s work by reading “Archangel”.
Movie
Sergei made his debut in an episode of the film “Don’t Even Think” in 2003, but his popularity came after the series “Doomed to Become a Star.” Subsequently, he starred in various Russian television series: “Fern Flower”, “Truckers Three”, “Orca”, “Cucumber Love”, “Cursed Paradise”, “Capital of Sin”.
The actor also stars in feature films. Among them: “We are from the future”, “Shore of Hope”, “Reckoning”, “Age of Love”, “Give me a little warmth”, “Family’s best friend”, “Heart without a lock”, “Accomplices”, “Tango of the Moth” , “Uneasy Happiness”, “Fortune Cookies”, etc.
The actor was greatly influenced by Yevgeny Serov’s film “The Cranes Will Cry,” in which he played the main role. In one of his interviews, Sergei said that he was interested in playing a person who lives his whole life, and not a short period.
By the way, Sergei graduated from the Higher Screenwriting Courses, workshop of Odelsha Aleksandrovich Agishev. “There you begin to understand a lot of things: the structure of the work, the composition. By the way, it helps a lot in the acting profession. You immediately identify what is there and what is missing, how the action develops, whether there is a climax or whether everything is marking time.”

From Paris, Mukhina and other young artists went to Italy to study Renaissance art. I stopped by Moscow, planning to then return to Paris, but the First World War broke out. The artist became a nurse in the hospital. In 1914, she met a young doctor, Alexei Zamkov, who was leaving for the front. Soon fate brought them together again. Zamkov, dying of typhus, was brought to the hospital, Mukhina was leaving him. Soon the young people got married and had a son, Vsevolod.
In 1916, the artist began to collaborate with the Alexander Tairov Chamber Theater. At first she sculpted sculptural parts of the scenery for the play “Famira the Kifared”, then she took up modeling stage costumes. In the 1920s, Vera Mukhina worked with Nadezhda Lamanova, a Russian fashion star who had previously dressed the royal family and now sewed outfits for Soviet women. In 1925, Lamanova and Mukhina published an album of models, “Art in Everyday Life.” That same year they were invited to present canvas and linen dresses with wooden buttons at the World Exhibition in Paris, where the “peasant” collection received the Grand Prix.
As a designer, Mukhina designed Soviet pavilions at international fur and book exhibitions. But she didn’t forget about sculpture. In the 1920s, she created several famous works: “Flame of the Revolution”, “Julia”, “Wind”. Particularly admired was the “Peasant Woman” - a woman “made from black soil”, her feet “grown” into the ground, with man’s hands (Mukhina sculpted them from her husband’s hands). In 1934, “The Peasant Woman” was exhibited in Venice, after which it was sold to the Trieste Museum, and after World War II the sculpture ended up in the Vatican. A copy was cast for the Tretyakov Gallery, the first place where “The Peasant Woman” was stored.
At the same time, Mukhina’s husband Alexei Zamkov created the first industrial hormonal drug, Gravidan. The doctor had envious people and opponents, and bullying began. In the spring of 1930, Mukhina, Zamkov and their son were detained while trying to leave the Soviet Union. This fact was made public only in the 2000s, when the denunciation of Zamkov’s former colleague fell into the hands of journalists. High-ranking patients and friends stood up for the doctor, among whom were Budyonny and Gorky. Zamkov was “only” sent to Voronezh for three years. Mukhina went into exile with her husband, although she was allowed to remain in the capital. The couple returned to Moscow ahead of schedule - in 1932.
