Tsyvina Irina Konstantinovna: biography, childhood
Born on July 1, 1963 in the Belarusian capital - Minsk. She comes from a simple family with modest income. Her mother, Antonina Viktorovna, was a professional painter. And my father, Konstantin Gennadievich, received a secondary technical education. Our heroine practically doesn’t remember him. After all, he left the family when she was not even three years old. The mother took on all the responsibilities for raising her daughter.
Ira grew up an obedient and smart child. She attended art school. Teachers praised her for her hard work and accuracy. The girl dreamed of growing up faster and becoming a textile artist.
After finishing 9th grade, Tsyvina Jr. entered the local technological college. But she didn’t have to study there. At the graduation party, Ira met an old acquaintance, who was already a student at the directing department. He convinced the girl that she needed to study to become an actress, and not to become a textile artist.
Childhood and youth
The actress was born in the summer of 1963 in Minsk, in a family where the parents had nothing to do with the world of art. Her father had a secondary technical education, but Irina doesn’t remember her dad: her parents separated when their daughter was not even three years old.
Tsyvina’s creative beginning comes from her mother, Antonina Viktorovna. The woman worked as a painter, but in all life situations she preferred a non-standard approach. For example, if the task was to paint the floor, Antonina would choose red or blue paint. Irina Tsyvina dreamed of becoming a fabric artist since childhood: in elementary school, she went to art school and teachers saw bright potential in the girl. After 8th grade, Irina Tsyvina took the documents to the technological college, but it didn’t come to study.

Irina Tsyvina in her youth with her mother
At a school graduation, Ira was approached by a friend, a student of the directing department. Having learned what specialty Tsyvina had chosen, he convinced the girl that she was mistaken. After all, Irina is a born actress, she has all the data to shine on the stage and screen. Irina Tsyvina went to enter the Minsk Theater University and miserably failed the exams. But she didn’t give up: when she heard that the youth theater at the Minsk Automobile Plant was recruiting a troupe, she hurried there. Tsyvina was accepted and immediately entrusted with the main roles in productions.
The stage brought pleasure to the young Minsk woman, but not money. And the family was in dire need of them: the mother alone had to get Ira and her younger brother back on their feet. Therefore, Irina Tsyvina got a job as a nurse in a maternity hospital. A year later, the artist set off to conquer Moscow fully armed: the girl thoroughly prepared and entered four theater universities. I chose the famous Moscow Art Theater School. Irina Tsyvina studied on the course of Vasily Markov. At the time of receiving her diploma in 1985, the actress had several roles in plays.
Youth
Immediately after graduation, Tsyvina Irina Konstantinovna took the documents from the technical school. Then she went to enter a theater university, but failed the exams. The beauty was very upset. But Ira learned that the youth theater troupe of the Minsk Automobile Plant was recruiting new actors. The girl hurried there. And this time luck smiled on her. Throughout the year, Tsyvina performed on the stage of this institution, playing the main roles. At the same time, the young actress worked part-time as a laboratory assistant in a maternity hospital. Ira gave the money to her mother, who needed to raise her schoolboy brother to his feet. And this speaks of her immeasurable kindness and responsibility.
Theater work and great love
Having gained experience in the youth theater, Irina Konstantinovna Tsyvina went to Moscow. She applied to several theater universities. Almost everywhere she managed to cope with the entrance examinations. A native of Minsk captivated the members of the selection committee with her talent and spectacular appearance. She gave preference to the Moscow Art Theater School. After all, it was there that her idol, Evgeniy Evstigneev, worked.
Ira has long been in love with a famous artist. And he paid attention to her only when she entered her second year. Evstigneev needed to select students to participate in the production of “The Marriage of Belugin.” The master entrusted the main female role to Irina Tsyvina. The girl literally glowed with happiness. The performance went well. Ira lived up to her teacher's hopes. And then Evstigneev unexpectedly arranged a date with her. After this, the student and teacher began to develop a romantic relationship. Ira was not at all embarrassed by the fact that her chosen one was 36 years older than her.
Tsyvina's first marriage was fictitious. Evgeny Evstigneev asked the Moscow Art Theater administrator to sign Irina so that she would receive a Moscow residence permit. The job was done. The fictitious marriage did not last long. And then the famous actor proposed to his young beloved.
In 1986, the lovers got married in one of the capital's registry offices. From now on, our heroine was introduced as Evstigneev’s wife. Irina Tsyvina simply adored her husband. They spent all their free time together: walked in the park, went to the cinema, cooked a delicious dinner.
Biography
The biography of actress Irina Tsyvina is full of surprises and unexpected turns.
Irina was born in 1963 in the capital of Belarus - the city of Minsk. Irina was the eldest child in the family. There were two children. Irina was left without a father very early. The family life of her parents did not work out. They separated when Irina was not yet three years old, and her younger brother even younger. The mother of the future actress, Antonina Viktorovna Tsyvina, devoted her entire life to raising children.
The family income was small and they lived very modestly. Mom worked as a painter and plasterer, but she was a completely extraordinary person. Her innate sense of taste and craving for beauty were also reflected in her seemingly uncreative work. Skillfully selected colors and non-standard solutions turned the work of an ordinary painter into delightful objects. A well-developed artistic taste was inherited by her growing beautiful daughter.
Irina really wanted to be a fabric artist. She attended art school, and the teachers predicted her real success. After graduating from junior high school, the girl applied to the light industry technical school, but fate decided to take a sharp turn.
Irina’s bright appearance attracted the attention of her old friend, a student of the directing department, who happened to drop by at the girl’s school graduation. He convinced the young girl of her natural artistic abilities and that she, well, simply needed to try herself in the theatrical environment. Irina took the documents from the technical school and took them to the Minsk theater university. But the reality turned out to be much more prosaic. Having not scored the required number of points for admission, Irina, not at a loss, decided to gain experience at the youth theater at the Minsk Automobile Plant. Working in the theater brought the girl not only experience, but also her first feeling of real success. The directors noticed the unconditional talent of the young actress and almost immediately entrusted her with leading roles in several productions.
Unfortunately, besides experience and success, working in the theater did not bring anything else to the girl. The family's financial situation remained very difficult. In order to somehow help her mother, Irina gets a job in the maternity ward as a nurse.
But, as you know, nothing passes without a trace. And the experience gained from working in the youth theater helped Irina qualify for admission to four Moscow theater universities a year later. Now that was a real victory!
Irina chose the famous school - the Moscow Art Theater Studio. She took Vasily Markov’s course and literally from her first year received roles in plays.
Her first meeting with Evgeny Evstigneev was fateful for the actress. He dropped in on their course and appreciated the work of a young sophomore girl in the play “The Old House.” Inspired by the talent of the aspiring actress, Evgeny Alexandrovich approved Irina for the main role in his new play “The Marriage of Belugin”.
Married life with E. Evstigneev
In 1986, Tsyvina was awarded a diploma of graduation from the Moscow Art Theater School. She immediately got a job at the Theater. Mossovet. But she only worked there for one season. From 1987 to 1989, Irina performed as part of the Moscow Art Theater troupe. She was involved in various performances. For example, in the production of “The Round Table Under the Lampshade” she played the role of Julia.
In 1988, Tsyvina Irina Konstantinovna first appeared on television screens. She was approved for a small role in the feature film “Christmas Trees!” The director was pleased with the collaboration with the aspiring artist.
Love and mutual understanding reigned in their relationship with Evgeny Evstigneev. Thanks to his beloved wife, the actor performed one of the best roles in his life. We are talking about Professor Preobrazhensky in the film “Heart of a Dog”. Evstigneev did not want to agree to this role. But Irina managed to persuade him.
The only thing the spouses lacked for complete happiness was children together. One day Tsyvina Irina Konstantinovna became pregnant. But during a tour in Sweden, the actress became ill and lost her baby. A little later, another tragedy occurred in her life...
E. Evstigneev often complained of pain in the heart area. In early March 1992, he and his wife Ira flew to London, where he was to be operated on by doctor Terry Lewis. The legendary artist believed that everything would go great. However, he died immediately after the operation - on March 4, 1992.
Theater
In his second year, Evgeny Evstigneev came to the Studio School, looking for young artists for a play he was going to stage. Irina Tsivina appeared on stage in the role of the crazy boy Vasily in the play “The Old House”. Unexpectedly for a sophomore, she was approved for the main role in Evstigneev’s play “The Marriage of Belugin.” Tsyvina played on the same stage with the legendary Sofia Pilyavskaya.
In 1986, Irina Tsyvina was accepted into the troupe of the Mossovet Theater, where she was involved in the play “The Cat That Walked By Itself.” But the artist stayed on this stage for one season. Since 1987, Tsyvina played on the stage of the Moscow Art Theater for two years. She played Julia in the play “Round Table Lampshaded” and was involved in the productions of “The Marriage of Belugin” and “Rut.”
Irina Tsyvina in the theater
On the stage of the Anton Chekhov Theater, Irina Konsantinovna played in “The Cherry Orchard”, and in “Satyricon” she was entrusted with a role in the production of “The Imaginary Invalid”. But Tsyvina was lucky enough to play most of her roles in enterprise performances. Irina appeared in the productions “Battle with a Psychic”, “Not Like Everyone else”, “Bride for a Banker”, “View of the Sea from the Closet” and several others.
Emigration to the USA
Our heroine took the death of her beloved husband very hard. The difficult economic situation in the country, lack of work and the bitterness of losing a loved one - all this drove Irina into deep depression. The actress was ready to commit suicide. But fate gave her a chance to change everything for the better.
At one of the evenings organized at the House of Cinema, she met Sliver graduate Georgiy Pusep, who lives in the USA. This man literally turned her head with talk of a luxurious life abroad. Soon Irina left with him for Los Angeles. But in reality the fairy tale turned out to be a burst bubble. Instead of luxury apartments, Georgy brought our heroine to a rented apartment.
Personal life of Irina Tsyvina
She got married for the first time while a student at the Moscow Art Theater. At that time, she met the famous actor Evgeny Evstigneev, who was amazed by her talent. After some time, they began an affair, despite the age difference. The relationship was not advertised, and before the wedding, no one suspected that there was any kind of love relationship between the student and the famous actor. At that time, the personal life and biography of Irina Tsyvina was no different, since certain heights in cinema could not be achieved.

It is worth noting that for the first time the actress married not Evstigneev, but a third-party man. This was necessary to obtain Moscow registration. All these actions were carried out according to the recommendations of Evstigneev himself. Subsequently, the marriage was dissolved. After some time, Evgeny Evstigneev decided on one of the most important actions in his life - a wedding was scheduled with Tsyvina. The actress's first pregnancy was unsuccessful.
Interesting fact! Irina Tsyvina was officially married four times.
The loss of her husband Evgeny Evstigneev left an incredible mark on her health. Soon she began dating Vlad Listyev, but this relationship did not end well. She emigrated to America with the famous producer George Pusep. As it turned out, in the end Pusep had a wife, but he divorced her. After some time, George and Irina had their first child, Evgeniy, and then their daughter, Zina. After ten years of living abroad, the whole family returned to Russia.
Upon her return, Irina Tsyvina began a relationship with Alexander Blagonravov. They lived next door and communicated constantly. They decided not to delay it for too long, and after a while the actress divorced George and married Alexander, while Pusep took the children with him.
11 years of marriage with Alexander Blagonravov led to another divorce, as it became known about his infidelities. Another divorce and here Irina’s psyche could not stand it. She became addicted to alcohol. Life together continued, but no longer brought any pleasure.
Denis Serdyukov became the new passion of Irina Tsyvina. This relationship did not last long and after another breakup, the actress became more and more immersed in herself and her experiences. In 2017, while still in a relationship with Serdyukov, Irina was going to transfer her fortune to him, but did not do so.
Short-lived happiness
The actress has come to terms with the fact that she will have to live in modest conditions. Tsyvina and Pusep formalized their relationship. In 1994, their first child was born - a son, whom they named Evgeniy. But that is not all. In 1997, there was another addition to the family. A charming daughter was born. The baby was given a Russian name - Zinaida. Irina was involved in raising her son and daughter. And the father practically did not devote time to his children. Our heroine decided to divorce him. But it turned out to be not so simple and not so fast.
Tsyvina Irina Konstantinovna lived in the USA for almost 10 years. The family, consisting of three people (the actress, her daughter and son), barely made ends meet. The woman worked on Russian cable TV. There was no real work. At some point, Ira realized that she was on the verge of depression. And only children were her only joy in life.
Strange circumstances surrounding the death of Irina Tsyvina have been revealed
The famous actor and social gossip Stanislav Sadalsky reported on his Instagram page that the police are considering a criminal trail in the death of the 55-year-old actress and ex-wife of Evgeny Evstigneev, Irina Tsyvina. “Close friends of the Ministry of Internal Affairs said there are criminal versions in the death of Irina Tsyvina, neighbors heard screams, there was blood... If I were in Moscow I would find out everything, on the phone people are afraid to tell me the truth, maybe you know...? on his blog Sadalsky.
Indeed, the media previously wrote that shortly before Irina’s mysterious death, neighbors heard noise and loud voices coming from her apartment.
In the studio, Andrei Malakhov showed an audio recording of a telephone call received by the editors of the “Live Broadcast” program at night, shortly after Tsyvina’s death. The actress's neighbor called. The woman said in an excited voice that the whole house was on edge. People are shocked, they are sure that Irina was killed. The stranger asked Andrey to sort out the situation.
Moreover, Andrei Malakhov, who dedicated the last episode of his author’s program “Live” to Irina Tsyvina, caught her adult son Evgeniy in a lie.
The actress’s son told the program’s studio that he found his mother’s lifeless body on the carpet in the room on the night of October 18, when he returned home around midnight. According to him, he and his mother had a wonderful relationship, and on the morning of the tragic day he was not left with an anxious feeling. Evgeniy said that he tried to bring his mother to her senses and gave her artificial respiration, but all efforts were in vain. Doctors stated that death was the result of a heart attack. The host of the show, Andrei Malakhov, asked Blagonravov to speak “to be honest” and said that many believe that he called an ambulance four hours after the discovery of the body. “She called her friends and said that you are forcing her out of the apartment, she cannot live with you, you are bringing some companies into the house. You say in the studio that you found your mother on the carpet, before the broadcast you told the editors that you found her in the bathroom. I’m trying to understand where the truth is,” said the TV presenter. Malakhov’s words were confirmed by journalist Olga Kvasnevskaya, who interviewed Irina Tsyvina just a week ago. According to her, Irina said that on April 13 she had a strong quarrel with her son.
And already in the studio he said that he came home around 12 o’clock at night. Mom was lying on the floor. Arriving doctors confirmed her death, and in the morning the guy was informed that his mother had died of a heart attack. In addition, in the studio, Andrei Malakhov showed an audio recording of a telephone call received by the editors of the “Live Broadcast” program at night, shortly after Tsyvina’s death. The actress's neighbor called. The woman said in an excited voice that the whole house was on edge. People are shocked, they are sure that Irina was killed. The stranger asked Andrey to sort out the situation. When the actress’s son found out the opinion of the residents of the house regarding the death of his mother, he asked with irritation: “Well, where are these neighbors?” And then it turned out that before coming on air, Evgeniy set a condition for Malakhov that he would take part in the program only if there were no neighbors and some of his mother’s friends, who perhaps knew a little more than the guy would like.
“I also have information that Zhenya stole money from his mother,” the journalist added. Malakhov said that Tsyvina’s neighbors believe that a murder occurred. They allegedly heard crashing and screaming from her apartment. The presenter promised that next week he would invite them to the studio so that they could tell their version of what happened. Evgeny Blagonravov tried to resist the pressure of the host and his guests, but still lost control of himself.

To get an objective picture of the incident, Malakhov invited the residents of the entrance where Irina Tsyvina and her close friends lived to the next broadcast. Perhaps they will help get to the bottom of the mystery of the actress’s unexpected death. “You weren’t there, dear Andrey, have some kind of chain of command! My nerves can no longer stand it now. This goes beyond all boundaries,” Evgeniy became furious at the end of the episode.

New love and return to Russia
How long was Tsyvina Irina Konstantinovna lonely? Her personal life improved in the early 2000s. Let's take a closer look at this. Her neighbor in the dacha village was Alexander Blagonravov, who had his own business (international transportation). At first they communicated on a friendly wave. But over time they realized that they had deep feelings for each other.
Soon Tsyvina flew to Moscow with her children and her beloved man. She wanted to forget her life in the USA like a bad dream.
Difficult times
Georgy Pusep, with whom the actress had not lived for several years, agreed to give her a divorce. However, the man set one condition: Zina’s daughter must stay with him. Tsyvina did not want to agree to this. She was suing her second husband. Georgy accused Irina of kidnapping her daughter. It would seem that there is no end to their proceedings. The actress consulted with the priest and decided to stop the litigation. She and Pusep signed a settlement agreement. According to its terms, Zina must live in Montenegro with her father, and her mother can communicate with her at any time.
After Tsyvina received a divorce from Georgy Pusep, she immediately married Alexander Blagonravov. A year later the couple got married. Our heroine was madly in love with her third husband. She forgave him for his constant drinking and assault. But when the businessman admitted to cheating on her, Ira could no longer tolerate it. In 2012, she and Alexander were officially divorced. The couple continued to live together - each in their own room. Blagonravov often went on a drinking binge. In 2013, it became known that he severely beat his ex-wife. He was even put in the bullpen. Having sobered up, the man asked Irina for forgiveness.
Personal life
The first husband of Irina Tsyvina was the administrator of the Moscow Art Theater. According to the actress, it was a fictitious marriage for the sake of registration in the capital. The second husband of the Minsk resident was Evgeniy Evstigneev, with whom Irina Konstantinovna lived for 8 happy years. She persuaded her husband to play a starring role in Vladimir Bortko’s two-part film “Heart of a Dog”: Evstigneev doubted whether he should transform into Professor Preobrazhensky.
Irina Tsyvina and Evgeny Evstigneev
The age difference between the spouses (37 years) did not become an obstacle to love, although at first the couple hid the relationship - Evgeniy Aleksandrovich was ashamed of his relationship with the student. But after a three-year romance, they legalized their relationship. The couple's dream of having a common child did not come true: Irina lost her child on a tour. After the death of Evgeny Evstigneev, Irina Tsyvina was married twice. Before her official marriage, she had a short affair with Vlad Listyev.
Irina Tsyvina and Vlad Listyev
The third husband was Shchepka graduate Georgy Pusep, whom Tsyvina met at Kinotavr a year and a half after Evstigneev’s death. Pusep introduced himself as a Hollywood producer, but the reality turned out to be prosaic: in Los Angeles, where Irina Tsyvina arrived with Pusep, she learned about George’s unbroken marriage. They lived in a tiny apartment in Los Angeles with no air conditioning (in the local heat). Pusep divorced his wife and married Tsyvina.
Georgy Pusep, Irina Tsyvina and children
The marriage produced two children - son Zhenya (named after Evstigneev) and daughter Zina. Irina Tsyvina, yearning for Russia and work, returned to Moscow with her family, but her marriage to Georgy Pusep was bursting at the seams. The actress met a new love - Alexander Blagonravov, an entrepreneur and neighbor in the country.
Wedding of Irina Tsyvina and Alexander Blagonravov
The marriage was overshadowed by the fact that the ex-husband took his daughter Zina to Montenegro. Tsyvina could not sue the girl, no matter how hard she tried: she only achieved the right to regular visits with Zina. After 11 years, the marriage with Blagonravov collapsed - Irina found out about his betrayal. During that difficult period, Tsyvina’s best friends were Tatiana Vasilyeva and Elena Tsyplakova.
There has been a lull in Irina Tsyvina’s personal life in recent years. She claimed that she despaired of finding a man whom she could love and respect as much as Evgenia Evstigneeva.
In 2020, Irina announced her desire to leave the stage and cinema and enter a monastery.
Continuation of film career
The actress returned to Russian screens in 2007. In the series “Kadetstvo” (STS) she played the mother of one of the main characters, Maxim Makarov. It must be said that this film work had a certain influence on her life. Due to the busy filming schedule, Irina almost missed her teenage son. Zhenya began to study poorly and began to argue with his elders.
And then the actress thought: “What if we send our son to the cadet corps?!” It’s not for nothing that she played the role of the mother of Suvorov soldier Makarov in the series. At first, Evgeniy was hostile to his mother’s proposal. But the guy still entered the cadet corps. And he really enjoyed studying at this institution.
