Childhood and youth
They say that if a child is born on a train, then his homeland is the whole world. Perhaps the most famous person born in such extreme conditions is the indomitable genius of ballet, “Genghis Khan of the stage” and “furious savage” Rudolf Nureyev. Few people know that the actress Anzhelika Volskaya, who seems to be familiar to everyone who is not indifferent to Russian television series, was also born in a passenger carriage before Defender of the Fatherland Day in 1970.

Her parents are passionate geologists, so it is not surprising that Taisiya, at the end of her term, decided not to put off pursuing her favorite hobby. The train was moving to Rostov-on-Don, when suddenly the woman began having contractions, so the Rostov region was later indicated as the baby’s place of birth. The beautiful name was given to the daughter not in honor of the sensual screen character Michelle Mercier, but in memory of the fiery revolutionary socialist Angelica Balabanova.
“As a child, I was very embarrassed when they asked me: “Angelica, where is your king?” When I grew up, I pestered my mother, asking how she could call me such a pretentious name? To which she answered with a smile: “No, at that time I was watching a completely different movie. Also French, only there was Angelique the revolutionary.” I felt very pleased. And I grew up with a revolutionary character,” the artist recalled.

However, Volskaya did not inherit the love of movement, following the adults. As she admitted in an interview, she was not at all drawn to explore different corners of the Earth - home is better. When the girl turned 13, her father and mother filed for divorce.
As a child, Lika was not flexible, she was friends with boys and, therefore, constantly fought with them, for which the head of the family, Valery, was often invited by teachers and head teachers. By the way, in the educational institution serious preference was given to mathematics and physics, and thoughts about a future profession were associated exclusively with science. In addition to the general education school, the talented student also studied music.

However, everything was decided by a friend who invited her to GITIS, where Volskaya passed all the entrance exams without any problems. By the will of fate, the student graduated from a completely different university - the Yaroslavl Theater, where she went after her future husband. At the age of 26, in response to his remark about the lack of prestige of the institute, she decided to experiment and tried to enter the Moscow Art Theater School. And she succeeded again.
Childhood
Angelika Volskaya was born into a family of geologists. The mother, being nine months pregnant, went on a long trip. On the road from Rostov-on-Don to Moscow, the future film actress Anzhelika Volskaya was born. She was not named after the heroine of the famous novels by Anne and Serge Golon. The daughter of geologists was named after the revolutionary Angelica Balabanova.
The future artist was not particularly diligent in her studies. Father was often called to school. But, despite this, Anzhelika Volskaya is a soft, indecisive person. She is not at all like her on-screen heroines. During her school years, she was more attracted to exact sciences. That’s why she dreamed of becoming an engineer, economist or mathematician. Angelica did not think about a career in cinema as a child.
Movies
Before getting into cinema, Angelica worked in an advertising agency, where she ended up thanks to her first husband, who did not find himself in acting and directing, and was a model of tights, cigarettes and detergent. On the set of the latter, a beautiful girl was noticed, invited to the casting in “Two Fates” and soon approved for the main role.

Her heroine has a sad biography: the once prominent beauty, after the death of her lover, became addicted to alcohol and, as a result, in a drunken state, decided to commit suicide.
By the actress’s own admission, TV viewers did not give way with persistent proposals to “think for three.” And they were very surprised to learn that in real life, Angelica’s body does not even accept heart drops, let alone anything stronger. By the way, before working on the series, she had never tried smoking.

Fateful series
The debut in the series “Two Fates” turned out to be a lot of stress for the aspiring actress. The girl dropped the microphone, often got nervous in front of the camera and felt self-conscious. But over time, work improved.
After the success of the series, Volskaya was noticed by other directors, but everyone offered the actress similar roles of negative heroines, like Lydia from “Two Fates.” In the following years, the artist starred in a number of Russian TV series, maintaining her usual role.

Occasionally he would give his “co-worker” a ride home and invite her to the performances in which he played. And one day he decided to admit that he wanted to get a divorce because of his feelings for her - so the celebrity unwittingly turned out to be a homewrecker not only on the screens. Evil tongues later gossiped that Volskaya agreed to another marriage because of living space.
"Funny. But there is some truth in this. Dima and I have been together for 4 years, but we officially got married only on May 5, 2006. And even then only because it was necessary to put the papers in order and register in a new apartment. By the way, now my last name is not Volskaya, but Yachevskaya. But in the credits of the series, I still sign with my maiden name,” the artist herself expressed her own thoughts on this matter.
It was with her new boyfriend that the woman fell in love with traveling. The couple has no children together.
Student years
