1. Do you recognize this cute baby as a future star of Russian cinema?!
2. In the series “Simple Truths” Danila took his first steps towards a career as an actor. The boy had no idea then that a small role in a family series would be the beginning of a big career in cinema and theater. But during these years Danila was very shy about his chubby cheeks.

3. But after the series “Simple Truths” Danila had not yet realized the desire to be an actor and therefore studied for 6 years in the Kronstadt Naval Cadet Corps, where real men are made from boys, and after Danila more than once said that studying in the cadet corps helped a lot for his life. Do you recognize Danila in the photographs of that time)

4. And of course, before his student days, Danila, like all children, vacationed in camps, and from a young age he was surrounded by ladies)

9. The long-awaited premiere of “Dukhless” is coming out... every second person was talking about this film... some admired the film, and some outright hated it... but despite everything, the majority noted the talent of the main actor and male beauty, which has blossomed even more over the years . Many are fascinated by the mysterious brown-eyed brunette, who has devils splashing in his eyes...

10. And now the long-awaited premiere of the folk film “Legend 17”, where Danila appears before us in all the power of his talent and masculine beauty...

Katya and Masha Trofimov - Arntgolts sisters (1982)


Arntgolts sisters

Facts about twins

The bright and memorable twins woke up famous after their roles as Katya and Masha Trofimov in the cult teen series “Simple Truths.” The girls, born into an acting family, graduated from the Higher Theater School named after. M. S. Shchepkina. Tatiana and Olga's careers skyrocketed.

Tatyana Arntgolts is known for her roles in the films “Champions”, “Cult”, “Gloss”, “Snipers: Love at Gunpoint”. She was married to actor Ivan Zhidkov. Now divorced, she is raising her daughter Maria.

Olga Arntgolts’ track record echoes the twin’s filmography. She starred in the films “Gena Beton”, “Hot November”, “Alive”, etc. She was married to Vakhtang Beridze, but in September 2020 she filed for divorce. In 2013, she gave birth to a daughter, Anna.

90s: what happened to the heroes of the series “Simple Truths”

The series “Simple Truths” at one time attracted not only young people, but also their parents to their televisions. It was something like a TV novel about school life. What was attractive was that the situations on the screen were familiar to every teenager: first school love, conflicts with classmates, misunderstandings with parents, and, in the end, how to hide a bad mark in the diary. The series consisted of three seasons, a total of 350 episodes were filmed, which were broadcast from 1999 to 2003. I am sure that you, like me, will remember many heroes with a smile.

Natalya Chernyavskaya (47)

− Tamara Ivanovna Rumyantseva

Tamara Rumyantseva is the first character with whom the viewer of “Simple Truths” meets. A very strong-willed and pleasant woman. And her daughter in the film, Nastya Rumyantseva, played by Anastasia Stachinskaya (25), captivates with her innocent simplicity. Natalya continues to act in TV series and play in the theater. But Anastasia Stachinskaya disappeared from the screens. After several more roles, her career began to decline.

Boris Nevzorov (65) – Boris Ivanovich Komarov

School director and history teacher. Of course, the Honored and People's Artist of the Russian Federation coped with this role without any problems. And the last of his works is the film “Fool” in 2014, where he plays the unfortunate character Fedotov.

Victor Nizovoy (40) – Sergey Eduardovich Avdeev

If anyone doesn’t remember, this is a charming physical education teacher who is dating the school principal’s secretary, Rumyantseva. Victor has played many roles in performances of the Maly Theater and continues to act in TV series, the latest of which is “Gentlemen, Comrades,” where Nizovoy plays the role of a UGRO officer.

Alexander Nesterov (31) – Igor Tsybin

This mischief maker was one of my favorite characters. Only now Tsyba is no longer a rosy-cheeked boy, but a serious man who is raising his son Ilya (8) married to Nona Grishaeva (43). Alexander’s latest work is his role in the film “Exchange Brothers” (2013). Nesterov also tries himself as a director: he has produced the musical play “My Fair Kat” (2012) and the film “In High Heels” (2013).

Anastasia Zadorozhnaya (29)

− Angelika Seliverstova

For Anastasia Zadorozhnaya, the role of Angelica was the first and brought her great fame. “Simple Truths” was a great start to the girl’s successful career. Many may also remember Nastya for her leading role in the TV series “Club,” which became the highest-rated project in the entire history of Russian MTV. Anastasia continues to act in films; in 2015 we will see her in at least four films.

Alexander Ilyin Jr. (31) – Zhenya Smirnov

The beloved intern Lobanov was also in the cast of “Simple Truths.” This came as a surprise to me. Alexander continues to perform not only as an actor, but also as a vocalist and songwriter of his punk band “Lomonosov Plan”. The film “A Good Bad Day” with his participation is expected to be released this year.

Vadim Utenkov (31) – Maxim Egorov

The same Grinders, another of my favorite characters. The role of a rogue who loves his legendary boots was his debut. Today Vadim serves in the troupe of the Theater on Malaya Bronnaya, and also continues to act in TV series. Some of the latest: “Network Threat”, “Survive After” and “Neighbors”.

Dmitry Ermilov (35) – Lyosha Kalitin

“Simple Truths” became the debut for young Dmitry. Handsome Lyosha Kalitin with his gorgeous hair appears in the second season. Someone may remember him for his role as Khodokov in the TV series “Soldiers”. One of his last films was the role of pilot Andrei Volodin in the film “Alien Wings.”

Anatoly Rudenko (32) – Dima Karpov

I think many girls lost their heads over the blue-eyed blond Dima. The role in the series was not the first for Anatoly Rudenko; he already had acting experience in the film “Hello, Fools!” Married to actress Elena Dudina (26), he has a daughter, Milena (2), and continues to act. Very soon he can be seen in the series “It’s Just Beginning.”

Tatiana and Olga Arntgolts (33)

– Katya and Masha Trofimov

The charming twins appeared in the second season of “Simple Truths” and immediately attracted attention. For the girls, like for many other young actors, this was their debut. The role brought them great fame and marked the beginning of a successful career. Tatyana is raising her daughter Maria (4) from her marriage to actor Ivan Zhidkov (31), which, unfortunately, broke up. And in 2014, the film “Champions” was released, where Tatyana played Elena Berezhnaya (37). Olga Arntgolts also acts in films, plays in the theater and raises her daughter Anna (1) with her husband, actor and TV presenter Vakhtang Beridze (34).

Danila Kozlovsky (29) – Denis Seliverstov

Who would have thought that Danila “comes from” “Simple Truths”. I didn’t believe it, I even had to rewatch the episodes of the first season to be sure. I confirm - he is! I don't know about you, but I personally am looking forward to his new film, Hardcore, which will be released later this year. Danila played the blind albino villain. Intriguing!

Dima Karpov - Anatoly Rudenko (1982)


Actor Anatoly Rudenko
The first acting experience of the actor playing the role of Dima Karpov was filming in the film by the legendary Eldar Ryazanov “Hello, fools!” Anatoly Rudenko did not aspire to become an actor; the initiator of entering the Shchukin School was his mother, actress Lyubov Rudenko.

Rudenko starred in many famous films - “Poor Nastya”, “Two Fates”, “Spiral”, etc. He is happily married to actress Elena Dudina, with whom he is raising his daughter Milena.

Anatoly Rudenko

Anatoly starred in the series while a student at the Shchukin School, but this was not his first film role. The actor became truly famous after the release of the series “Two Fates.” Anatoly Rudenko actively acts in films and plays in the theater.

After the release of the series, Anatoly Rudenko became the hero of dreams of high school girls

Alisa Arzhanova - Yulia Troshina (1983)


Actress Yulia Troshina
The leading actress of the first season of “Simple Truths” Alisa Arzhanova now rarely appears on television screens. She captivated TV viewers with her love experiences, the subject of which was classmate Andrei Dangulov.

Yulia Troshina, who graduated from the Faculty of Musical Theater at GITIS, is now heavily involved in teaching. She managed to perform passing roles in the television films “On the Corner of the Patriarchs” and “Moscow. Central District”, and also took part in a number of theatrical productions.

Andrey Dangulov - Yuri Makeev (1980)


Actor Yuri Makeev
The career of the hero of the novel by Alisa Arzhanova after “Simple Truths” was somewhat more successful. GITIS graduate Yuri Makeev was remembered by viewers for his characters in the television series “Soldiers” (Private Mazaev) and “Glukhar” (Dmitry Lazarev).

Having expanded his track record to several dozen theatrical productions and films, the ultimate dream of young fans of “Simple Truths” changed his role, opening the only “Theater of Taste” in the capital. A successful businessman is married and has a daughter and son.

Yuri Makeev

Yuri Makeev, a favorite of young girls, after working in Simple Truths, starred in the popular TV series Soldiers. This project brought him even more love from the audience, but the actor did not like fame, and he decided to develop in a different direction. Yuri opened a culinary theater, and was ready to return to cinema only if he was offered a worthy role. The last time he could be seen on screens was in 2011.

The main character-lover of the series, Yuri Makeev, graduated from RATI after filming the series

Igor Tsybin - Alexander Nesterov (1983)


Actor Alexander Nesterov
The main negative character of “Simple Truths,” who aroused outright anger among viewers, is now a fairly well-known personality. Actor, musician and singer Alexander Nesterov played at the Quartet I Comic Theater.

Now Nesterov devotes himself to theatrical productions at the Stas Namin Theater. Married to the famous actress Nonna Grishaeva, the couple has a son, Ilya.

Alexander Nesterov

Alexander Nesterov got the role of the negative hero Igor, who was the main hooligan. Alexander graduated from the variety department of the Russian Academy of Theater Arts, but the actor was not interested in cinema, and he decided to devote himself to the theater. As for Nesterov’s personal life, he is married to the famous actress Nonna Grishaeva.

Alexander Nesterov was not attracted to the world of cinema, but in the theater everything worked out well for him

Lyosha Burundukov - Alexey Ilyin (1980)


Actor Alexey Ilyin
A student of an acting family, he graduated from the Shchukin School. The teenager’s career did not begin in “Simple Truths,” but in the television series “Little Things in Life,” where, according to the youngest talent, he got the role of “a scumbag for several episodes.”

Ilyin’s track record is quite extensive and varied, but the vast majority of it consists of roles of a secondary nature.

What do the actors of the series “Simple Truths” look like and what are they doing now?

Foreign youth series became a real hit on our television in the 90s. It is enough to at least remember “Helen and the guys.” Naturally, I wanted to do something similar, but my own. “Simple Truths” appeared .

The heroes of this series were unknown schoolchildren and students of theater universities. But in the end, many of them achieved significant success...

Danila Kozlovsky

It cannot be said that the role of Denis Seliverstov somehow helped Danila become famous. But she convinced the guy that acting was his future. Today Kozlovsky can safely be called one of the most sought-after Russian actors. His filmography already includes more than 40 works.

Arntgolts sisters

For twin girls who were born into an acting family and literally grew up behind the scenes, the question of choosing a future profession did not become insoluble. The role in “Simple Truths” was the debut for Tatyana and Olga. At that time they were students at Sliver.

When the series was released, the girls became real teen idols. And my career took off. In addition, on the set, Tatyana began an affair with actor Anatoly Rudenko. It almost came to the wedding...

Anatoly Rudenko

3 years before “Simple Truths,” Rudenko made his debut with Ryazanov in the film “Hello, Fools!” And at the time of the series’ release, the actor was 17 years old, and he studied at “Pike”.

It is worth noting a funny moment from the actor’s personal life. Almost all of Rudenko’s novels were official ones: after Arntgolts, he was together with actress Daria Poverennova for 4 years, but eventually married another actress Elena Dudina.

Alexander Ilyin

Future intern Lobanov grew up in an acting family and even starred in “Simple Truths” with his older brother Alexei. Well, which series brought him real fame, I think you know as well as I do.

Anastasia Zadorozhnaya

People had heard about Nastya even before the release of the series, although more as a singer. She was a soloist of the popular children's ensemble "Fidgets". After “Simple Truths,” Zadorozhnaya began acting much more often. But the girl does not forget about her singing career...

Anna Tsymbalistova

A successful acting career was predicted for the debutante Tsymbalistova. But after “Simple Truths” she only starred in “Turkish March”. Anna exchanged acting for directing and producing.

Alexander Nesterov

In my opinion, Alexander is better known as the husband of Nonna Grishaeva than in the acting field. But he also starred in “Simple Truths”...

Yulia Troshina

The role in the first season of the series became the most memorable in Troshina’s career. As a result, the woman decided that her calling was teaching. Today she does not appear on screens or give interviews.

Artem Semakin

It is clear that the main role in Semakin’s life is Kolya Zorkin in the series “Don’t Be Born Beautiful,” but he also appeared in “Simple Truths.” Then Artem was a student at the Shchukin School.

Vadim Utenkov

One of the most colorful characters in the series, who had the nickname Grinders. After the series, Utenkov’s career took off. Today his filmography includes more than 30 works.

Another popular Russian project was the series “Soldiers,” which also gave many actors a path to big cinema. By the way, some of the people from “Simple Truths” also starred in “Soldiers.”
