Daria Yurskaya: “My dad turns out to be problematic from all sides”

There is a saying in the theater community: “Don’t be born beautiful, but be born with character.” Daria Yurskaya is a character actress. She was lucky enough to serve at the Moscow Art Theater. Chekhov together with his star mother and play in the same play with both parents - the inimitable Sergei Yursky and Natalya Tenyakova. This article is devoted to her biography and creative successes in cinema.

Childhood

The girl was born in Leningrad, as evidenced by the surviving medal awarded to natives of the city on the Neva. But she considers herself a Muscovite, because at the age of six she moved to the capital with her parents and went to first grade here. Her date of birth is July 25, 1973.

Daria Yurskaya is the only daughter of one of the most harmonious couples of Melpomene’s servants. The couple have been together for more than 45 years, although this is the second marriage for both. Working together in the same theater with the great Tovstonogov united their destinies. At that time, Natalya Tenyakova was a beginner but promising Leningrad actress, and Sergei Yursky was a superstar of the theater stage.

Oleg Efremov invited St. Petersburg residents to the Moscow Art Theater, but art officials forbade accepting Yursky into the troupe, who “compromised” himself with his friendship with A. Solzhenitsyn. As a result, only Natalya Tenyakova ended up at the Moscow Art Theater, and her husband began his career in Moscow at the Theater. Mossovet.

Path to the profession

Could Yurskaya Daria choose a path other than acting? Hardly. Although she studied “excellently”, and from the sixth grade her parents enrolled her in the famous school named after. artist Polenov. Her father dreamed that she would be fluent in foreign languages ​​and receive a serious education. The girl was fond of figure skating and studied music, but already at the age of 10 she felt the magic of the stage, participating in a small role without words on the stage of the Theater. Mossovet. At the age of 14, she starred in a movie (“Orion’s Loop”), after which she firmly decided to enter drama school.

The parents did not dissuade their daughter, but they did not paint rosy pictures either. Daria Yurskaya, whose biography will later be associated with the Moscow Art Theater. Chekhov, I decided for myself: to enter only one university and only once. She was lucky, she immediately became a student at the Moscow Art Theater School. The course was taught by O.P. Tabakov, who recognized acting talent in the girl: while still a student, she was introduced to two theater performances - “Blissful Island” and “Beautiful Life”. By the end of her studies, the girl no longer doubted that she would be accepted into the theater troupe.

Theater

Daria Yurskaya entered the Moscow Art Theater School the first time, the student took Oleg Tabakov’s course. It was easy for the girl to study; the theater was like a home for her. In her third year, she played a fairly significant role in the production of “The Blissful Island.” The student coped with the task perfectly and was immediately offered the next role in the play “Beautiful Life.” After these works, it became clear that Yurskaya would have a place at the Moscow Art Theater after her studies.

In 1994, Dasha graduated from the studio school and was accepted into the troupe. First roles in the theater:

• Elena – “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”;
• Vivi - "Mrs. Warren's Profession";
• Doralice - “Venetian antiquarian”;
• Anna Egerman - “After the rehearsal.”

"Countess Sheremeteva"

The first successful work in cinema was the role of Praskovya Zhemchugova in T. Pavlyuchenko’s film “Countess Sheremetev”. Yurskaya was only 20, and she played a serf actress whose love story cannot help but touch the viewer. The film's partner was the charismatic Andrei Rostotsky, who fell in love with the entire female half of the country after the role of Denis Davydov. Young Daria Yurskaya could not help but become interested in the artist, although he was married.

In 1994, the film was released and received high professional praise. The sincerity of feelings on the screen was reinforced by a real romance, which ended very tragically. At an intersection, a girl was hit by a car. The blow was so strong that she flew several meters from the collision site, ending up in intensive care. Fortunately, the doctors performed a miracle, reassembling the girl almost piece by piece.

She perceived what happened as punishment for the destruction of someone else’s family, deciding to part with Rostotsky.

First marriage

Her classmate Alexey Lebedev was the first to rush to the hospital. They met in school, but after graduation they each went their own ways. Daria Yurskaya, whose personal life was described in detail in the media, dreamed of becoming an actress, and Alexey Lebedev became a graphic artist. They met by chance a few years later, and the girl was able to make sure that the young man’s feelings had not disappeared. When Alexey proposed, she agreed without hesitation.

This marriage lasted 14 years. The birth of a son, George, in 2002 was a great happiness, because after the accident, doctors questioned the possibility of bearing a child. The actress initiated the divorce. Honest by nature, she was forced to admit that her relationship with Alexei began to look more like friendship, and she could not live without love.

Jurassic Daria: TV series

After graduating from college in 1994, the actress focused on her theatrical career, joining the Moscow Art Theater troupe. Her next appearance on the screen took place in 2003. It was the series “Evlampia Romanova”, in which Yurskaya had a small cameo role. Then “Sins of the Fathers” (2004) came out, where she played the role of Elena Zimina. The actress, dissatisfied with the script and the fee, left the series before the end of filming. Two years later, she again agreed to television work on the NTV channel. It was a “Medical Secret” - the story of a regional clinic where people of different social status and age were treated, suffered, communicated and recovered.

Irina Gonchar, the actress’s heroine, is an intensive care unit nurse suffering from the inability to have children. There was something to play here, and the young woman threw herself into her work. On the set of the series, she met actor and director Magomed Kostoev, for whom her feelings flared up.

Second marriage

The father did not approve of his daughter’s affair, which resulted in a divorce from A. Lebedev and a second marriage. In 2009, the couple had a child together - son Alisher. But the family idyll did not work out. The freedom-loving Yurskaya (Daria’s character is like her father’s) and the dominant Kostoev (Magomed, Ingush by nationality) have not stood the test of time. In addition, the father brought his eldest son Akhmed from Ingushetia, with whom the new mother did not have a good relationship. In October 2011, Kostoev went home with both sons to undergo circumcision. There would be nothing wrong with this, but he did not make contact for 40 days, and the mother was separated from her one and a half year old son.

This test showed how much Sergei Yursky, a People's Artist by title and people's love, is revered in the country. The leadership of Chechnya and Ingushetia, law enforcement agencies and simply authoritative Ingush people joined in solving the family problem. The young woman was sent on a charter flight to Ingushetia, from where she returned with the baby. This event put an end to her marriage to Kostoev.

Russian actor Magomed KOSTOEV intends to return by any means his three-year-old son Alisher, who was taken from him by the daughter of the People's Artist of the RSFSR, Daria YURSKAYA. Magomed openly spoke about the pressure and threats from his father-in-law, Sergei YURSKY.

Magomed Kostoev has not seen little Alisher for a year. After unambiguous threats were made against him, he decided to tell the story of his relationship with the family of Sergei Yursky .

Daria Yurskaya is the only daughter of the famous actor. This is probably why Sergei Yuryevich participates in her fate with such trepidation. Several years ago, Dasha did not want her first husband to date her son Georgiy. The case reached the Presnensky court, where the boy’s father, artist Alexey Lebedev, . After lengthy legal proceedings, he was granted the right to see his son.

“Yes, Dasha did not allow me to see my grandson,” confirmed Alexei Lebedev’s father, Sergei Leonidovich. “This issue had to be resolved through the courts.

Didn't like my son-in-law

Daria Yurskaya met actor Magomed Kostoev on the set of the series “Medical Secret”. Soon a romance broke out between them, and Dasha decided to leave her husband, Alexei Lebedev, with whom she had been married for 14 years, for the sake of a hot Caucasian handsome man. Dasha and Magomed soon got married. A son was born - Alisher. But all this time Sergei Yursky stood between them, and in the end the couple separated.

- Maybe Sergei Yuryevich disliked you because you destroyed the first marriage of his beloved daughter?

“Dasha’s mother, Natalya Maksimovna, once accused me: “You yourself took her away from her husband!” I retorted: “Is she a child, and I took her hand and led her away from kindergarten?”

— Unlike your first son-in-law, you are an actor, which means you and Yursky should have common interests.
“When Yursky found out about me, he told his daughter: “Either me or him - choose!” That’s why Dasha didn’t introduce me to my father. We just started living together. They didn't even have a wedding. After the restaurant we simply went to the dacha where her parents lived... Yursky has delusions of grandeur, but is smart enough to try to hide it. However, he constantly tried to impose his point of view on Dasha and me, tried to force me to do what I considered inappropriate. And I am not in the category of people who allow this. There must be one owner in a family. Dasha first took my side, then began to “swim.” She couldn't stand the pressure from her dad. After talking with him, I felt unwell for the rest of the day.

— What preceded the separation?

— I brought my eldest son Akhmed, who lived for some time with his sister in Ingushetia, to Moscow. He had to go to school, and it is clear that if the father is in Moscow, then the son should be nearby. My eldest son was the reason that Dasha couldn’t stand it. My eyes were opened: I believe that a woman who cannot love a child who is not her own cannot love her own.

The first husband asked for help

- But Dasha also had a child from her first marriage, whom, as I understand it, you raised for four years?

- Yes it is. Moreover, the Jura “led” Georgy towards imbecility, I’m not afraid of this word. The boy was caught up in this megalomania. He shook his hands, did not look up from the TV, hardly spoke, wore diapers at the age of five, ate two foods - buckwheat porridge and instant soup. It wasn't because his mother didn't cook, he just didn't want anything else. Gosha showed signs of autism, although doctors did not examine him. Dasha was incredibly worried about this. I told my wife that I could get him out of this state, but it would not be easy for her - she would have to completely rely on me in her relationship with Gosha. She agreed... Today Georgiy is ten years old, he is an excellent student, and has become a completely normal guy.

- Did you know that Dasha does not want Georgiy to see his own father?

- This was my opinion as well. Two years after the start of our life together, Alexey Lebedev called me, we met and talked. He complained that he was not allowed to communicate with his son. I expressed my opinion: we need to stop these meetings for a couple of years, because Georgy first needed to get back to normal. But Alexey stood his ground: “I will continue to try to date!” To which I replied: “This is your business, and I have no right to interfere. After all, you are his father." By the way, Yursky was not against meetings between his first husband and his son, I think, out of a sense of competition with me.

- Maybe you cheated on your wife? The standard reason for divorce...

- I didn’t sleep with any woman while I lived with Daria. This is my rule: I am never with two women at the same time.

- How did you break up?

— Dasha sent me an SMS and wrote that my things were in the storage room. From that moment on, I never entered the apartment given by her mother. Although I had every right, because I am registered there.

Bandits came

— Did the divorce go without scandals?

— I have not received any notices about the upcoming divorce. I can file a claim with the court and the prosecutor's office about the illegality of the divorce. The marriage was dissolved without my knowledge: I was in Ingushetia at that time with my mother - she was in the hospital. The court hearing, which I knew about and could attend, concerned the question of who Alisher would live with. But I was warned that after the trial people from certain structures might be waiting for me at the exit.

— Did you secretly take Alisher to Ingushetia?

“Dasha knew that Alisher, I, and my eldest son Akhmed would be leaving for a month. And return tickets were purchased. She agreed with the only condition: Ahmed does not return - “she doesn’t want to see him anymore.” But Alisher did not have time to communicate with his grandmother because of her illness. Therefore, I told Dasha that Alisher and I would arrive in two weeks. She took it as if I had kidnapped Alisher.

- Were you pressured?

— Yursky turned to some people in Moscow. The people who met with me said that they were acting on behalf of Ramzan Kadyrov and the FSB. This meeting was attended by the head of the riot police of Chechnya and a certain Bislan Galaev , the head of the department of supervisory activities of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia for Chechnya. There were also bandits of different levels. They popularly explained to me that Alisher should be taken to his mother immediately. I told them that in two weeks we were going to Moscow with him, but if you can’t wait, then take him.

- Why did you agree to give up your son?

“They explained: “You don’t have to give it back, but serious people are involved here. There will be searches of your relatives and friends and everyone you even called on the phone. Well, you understand, we're worried about you. Now we are clearing out militants in Ingushetia and Chechnya.” It is clear that this is a threat. At that moment I could, of course, get angry and leave. But this would be a setup for my relatives. Alisher was taken away from Ingushetia on a charter flight and they staged a show. I gave him away on the condition that in a month I would take Alisher away for a month so that he could still communicate with my mother. They made a promise, but did not keep it.

The next day, the head of Ingushetia, Yunus-Bek Yevkurov, . He said that Yursky approached him in Moscow with some minister, in my opinion, it was Shvydkoy (former Minister of Culture - N.M. ). They asked him to help. According to Yevkurov, he told them that he would help as best he could, although he did not understand why they were raising private family issues at the government level.

- You came for your son in a month...

— Yes, on December 5 I rang the doorbell, but they didn’t open it for me. I heard Alisher in the apartment - he said: “This is dad.” I dialed the phone number, but she didn’t pick up. I didn't want to break in. That’s why I arrived on the promised day: I wasn’t looking for a moment to somehow watch for her.

- How are you going to communicate with your son?

“I’ll find out how, believe me.” Yursky, as I understand it, declared war on me. On TV he called me a dishonest person, but he could not substantiate his words. I will not forget a single day, starting from the moment my son was taken away. And sooner or later they will answer.

No answer

We turned to actress Daria Yurskaya for comment, but she did not want to comment on this situation.

New works in cinema

Where else did Daria Yurskaya film? Films with her participation are either television performances or series. Her track record includes 11 film works. So far, the actress has not had a love affair with cinema. Her latest films are the series: “Women on the Edge” (2013), where she played a psychologist at a women’s penal colony, and “Margarita Nazarova” (2015). In the latter, she got the image of Galina Brezhneva, which best reveals her role as a character actress, which she copes brilliantly with in the theater.

Whose father was Yursky?

Beloved by several generations of viewers, the artist raised his daughter. His little darling was given an ancient and beautiful name - Daria.

Of course, Yursky’s daughter has grown up long ago, and now she is one of the most beautiful and talented actresses in Russia. The first, truly resounding success came to her back in 1994. And despite the fact that Daria never used pseudonyms and did not hide her relationship with Yursky, for some reason she was never associated with him or slandered that the actress’s success was not her own merit.

Theater creativity

Yurskaya Daria is more successful on the stage of her favorite theater, although she has many roles in productions of other directors. She was lucky enough to play with her parents in the play “After the Rehearsal.” In it, the actress is in love with the hero Sergei Yursky, an elderly director, whose daughter, by force of circumstances, she could have been. In the role of her mother is Natalya Tenyakova. The performance, which earned two Golden Mask awards, was shown abroad several times. In Sweden, a spectator praised the actress: she got used to the character so much that she even looked like her mother. She had no idea that there were real relatives on stage.

Daria Yurskaya, whose filmography currently has no notable works, like her parents, is truly devoted to the theater stage. She regrets that today cinema and theater have little contact, and film directors have stopped attending performances, where they used to happily look for actors.

Where did Daria study?

In first grade, Daria went to the most ordinary Moscow school. However, by sixth grade everything changed. The situation of the Yursky family could no longer be called simple. Both Daria’s father and her mother, Natalya Tenyakova, were already real “stars” and belonged to the privileged class.

Of course, their daughter could no longer go to a regular school. Daria was transferred to the “super-elite twelfth school,” famous throughout the country, on Arbat. This educational institution operates to this day, still bears the name of Polenov, one of the famous artists, and is very prestigious, just like in Soviet times.

After school, Daria became a student at the Moscow Art Theater. She graduated from the course of a real stage guru - her teacher was Tabakov.
