Biography
Mikhail Evdokimov is a Soviet and Russian artist who performs in the genre of parody and also reads humorous monologues. In addition, Mikhail Evdokimov is familiar to the public as a singer, actor and TV presenter. The artist also began a political career and even realized himself as a politician, becoming the fourth Governor of the Altai Territory.
Mikhail Sergeevich Evdokimov was born in December 1957 in Novokuznetsk (at that time Stalinsk), Kemerovo region. He grew up in a family of simple workers who worked hard to feed and raise their seven children. My father was a laborer, my mother spent her whole life in a mine.
Actor and comedian Mikhail Evdokimov
When Mikhail was one year old, the family moved to the village of Verkh-Obskoye, in the Altai Territory. Mikhail Evdokimov considered it his real homeland. Here he spent his childhood and youth. In Verkh-Obsky he graduated from school, after which he entered the Barnaul Cultural and Educational School, where he chose the balalaika department. To obtain a working specialty, Evdokimov completed a 4-week course for grinders and went to earn money at the Altai Motor Plant.
After military service in Nizhny Tagil, Mikhail Evdokimov worked for a year as the artistic director of a rural cultural center. And in 1979 he became a student at the Novosibirsk Institute of Trade. Here the artistic talent of this Altai nugget shone in full force. Soon, the charming red-haired guy was chosen as the captain of the institute’s KVN team. Here Evdokimov finally understood what he would like to do all his life.
Mikhail Evdokimov
To make a career and not waste time, Mikhail Evdokimov went to the capital. Here he made an unsuccessful attempt to enter the circus school, after which he returned home and completed his studies at a trade university. But the dream of becoming an artist did not disappear. Therefore, in 1983, Mikhail Sergeevich again went to Moscow. And the capital accepted him: Evdokimov was accepted into the regional philharmonic as a conversational artist.
How I built my career
After graduating from the Pedagogical University (2013), Vedenisova worked as a simple English teacher at the Moscow Kaptsov Gymnasium. At the same time, I studied to become a journalist. In 2015, she got a job as a correspondent at the News Media holding. A year later I received a diploma in journalism. In 2020, immediately after graduating from the Institute of Cinema and Television, the girl was invited to the Spas channel, where Inna worked for 4 years.
Currently (April 2020) Vedenisova hosts the “Testament” program on this TV channel, and is also engaged in teaching and tutoring activities. Inna Valerievna teaches schoolchildren the basics of journalism at the Moscow Palace of Pioneers, and also teaches children English.
Humor and creativity
The artist's debut took place on Women's Day - March 8, 1984. Mikhail Sergeevich first appeared on screen in the festive concert of Ogonyok. From that moment on, his career developed rapidly. A few months later, the comedian was invited to the program “Around Laughter.” After several performances, the whole country knew who Mikhail Evdokimov was.
For several years, the colorful comedian made people laugh with his parodies and hilarious monologues in the “Around Laughter” program. The most popular was the cycle “Village Stories”, or “Village Stories”, in which Mikhail Evdokimov appeared on stage as a simple village guy from the people. He told funny stories about going to the bathhouse, hunting, fishing and ordinary problems that villagers face.
A distinctive feature of Mikhail Evdokimov’s performances was a simple, lively language and an abundance of vernacular and dialecticisms - the artist sacrificed literary speech for the sake of a stage image. At the same time, the humorist’s author’s monologues turned out to be so close to the audience that they instantly diverged into quotes and turned into sayings and aphorisms, which people not familiar with the work of Mikhail Evdokimov mistake for village folklore.
In this regard, the audience especially liked the humorous monologue “After the Bath,” which Evdokimov reads on behalf of a citizen who was taken into custody by the police. For example, the phrases “I’m not red, but my face is red”, “dyn-dyn-dyn”, “oh, I don’t know what to tell you”, “my head dries up on its own after the bath”, “I’m going and not touching anyone”, “ the whole mood dropped,” “reusable paddle” came into circulation precisely after Mikhail Evdokimov said them from the stage.
At the very end of the 1980s, Mikhail Sergeevich, who always dreamed of getting a higher theater education, entered GITIS. He continued to perform. Not a single holiday concert broadcast by central television channels could take place without it.
Mikhail Evdokimov in the film “About Businessman Thomas”
In the early 1990s, a cinematic biography of Mikhail Evdokimov began. Over the course of 10 years, he starred in 7 films. The most striking and memorable of them are “I don’t want to get married,” “Should we send us a messenger?” and “About businessman Thomas.”
During these same years, it turned out that the artist was also talented in music. Evdokimov released records with his songs. The best of them are called “We must live”, “Get rid of yourself, bad life!”, “House by the Road” and “Countrymen”.
But the main thing in Mikhail Sergeevich’s work remained the conversational genre and parodies. In 1992, the artist founded the Evdokimov Theater. For 12 years he was its permanent leader. In 1994, Mikhail Evdokimov was awarded the title of Honored Artist of Russia.
What is he currently doing?
Currently, Inna Valerievna continues to work on the Spas TV channel. In March-April 2020, she lived in the village due to quarantine and the coronavirus epidemic. From time to time, Vedenisova published photos about her village life during self-isolation on Instagram. 7.9 thousand subscribers subscribed to the TV presenter’s blog called “vedeni”.
Inna tries not to agitate anyone for Orthodoxy. The journalist simply lives in Moscow, works on the Spas TV channel, is engaged in social activities, travels around the world, filming stories for her television programs.
Policy
Mikhail Sergeevich Evdokimov first thought about a career as a politician in the mid-1990s. During these years, he ran for the State Duma from Barnaul. But he managed to get to the political Olympus only in 2005. The artist became the head of the administration of the Altai Territory. As experts noted, Evdokimov in his election program used the familiar image of an “honest man”, proclaiming the phrase “Jokes aside!” as his slogan.
His main rival, the current governor of the Altai Territory, Alexander Surikov, lost to Evdokimov in the second round, dubbing the artist’s victory “Schwarzenegger syndrome.”
Mikhail Evdokimov
The reign of Mikhail Evdokimov is assessed differently. Some experts argue that his approach to many of the problems that had accumulated in the region was unprofessional, which is why a power crisis emerged in Altai a few years later. In the spring of 2011, the regional council passed a vote of no confidence in Mikhail Evdokimov and his administration. The proposed resignation had to be approved by the head of state.
There is another point of view. Evdokimov allegedly “stepped on” the established business interests of many representatives of big business in Altai, including destroying drug trafficking, from which many representatives of the old government “fed”.
The protracted conflict was resolved by the unexpected death of the governor.

Personal life
The truth that the politician and the artist had more than just a legal marriage surfaced after his death. The personal life of Mikhail Evdokimov hit the top news and was discussed for a long time in the yellow press after it turned out that he had two illegitimate children.
The eldest of the illegitimate children is the already adult daughter Anastasia, who chose journalism as her own path. As a result of the division of property after the death of Mikhail Evdokimov, the girl’s family was able to prove their blood relationship and received an apartment on Rublyovka.
Mikhail Evdokimov with his wife
The youngest is the son Daniil, born in 2004, whose mother was the black model Inna Belova.
Officially, the artist married only once. His wife was Galina Nikolaevna Evdokimova. In this marriage a daughter, Anna, was born. But, as it turned out, Mikhail Sergeevich had two secret affairs. Nadezhda Zharkova gave birth to another daughter, Anastasia. And the dark-skinned Russian model Inna Belova became the mother of Evdokimov’s only son, Daniil.

Death
On August 7, 2005, Mikhail Evdokimov’s car crashed in an accident on the Biysk-Barnaul highway, which subsequently caused the artist’s death. The official cause of the tragedy was that the driver lost control and the Mercedes flew into a ditch. The driver, the security guard and Evdokimov himself died on the spot. His wife Galina survived, having received multiple injuries.
Location of the accident
The funeral of the 48-year-old artist and politician took place in Mikhail Evdokimov’s native village of Verkh-Obskoye.
A criminal case was opened into the accident. Law enforcement officers and observers had suspicions about the accident, although officials in the first days after the accident completely denied any possibility that the tragedy was deliberately staged.
This theory has a number of indirect evidence. Firstly, shortly before the accident, Mikhail Evdokimov, after a conflict with the regional internal affairs bodies, lost his escort vehicles. Secondly, the governor himself, shortly before his death, told his relatives: he knows that he will soon be killed. The wife and children of Mikhail Evdokimov also spoke in favor of this theory.
Funeral of Mikhail Evdokimov
However, the investigation did not consider the version of a staged accident, much less look for the motives for such an action. Although journalists and a number of politicians expressed the idea that Mikhail Evdokimov had fundamentally crossed the path of one of his colleagues with his fight against corruption and drug trafficking from neighboring Kazakhstan.
In memory of this tragedy, the film crew of the detective series "Citizen Chief" in the third season showed a plot clearly based on this accident, albeit with a note that all coincidences are random. In the series, the characters investigate the death of a governor with the similar surname Akimov in an accident.
Mikhail Evdokimov's grave
Concerts are also regularly held in memory of the artist. In December 2017, a concert was held in the Sibir concert hall in Barnaul in honor of the 60th anniversary of Mikhail Evdokimov.
