Evgeniy studied in a drama club, danced in an ensemble, and graduated from a music school in the accordion class. “From the very beginning I had no other thought about the profession. Apparently, the stories of my parents, who participated in amateur performances, influenced me so much that I became interested in acting. It never occurred to me that I could become someone else,” Mironov said. In 1982, after graduating from eight classes, Evgeny Mironov entered the Saratov Theater School. I.A. Slonova on the course of Valentina Ermakova.

For the publication, the Teacher’s muse chose Mironov’s friend

At one of the social events, 26-year-old actress Yulia PERESILD came arm in arm with her charming colleague Alexander NOVIN. The couple looked extremely organic - all evening the 32-year-old gentleman gallantly looked after his lady, preventing her from even the slightest desire. Socialites immediately rushed to speculate on when to expect an invitation to a cheerful actor's wedding. And only knowledgeable people shrugged their shoulders skeptically.

about Peresild’s with the venerable director Alexei Uchitel for several years now. Evgeny Mironov introduced them at one time . Soon the Teacher approved Yulia for the role in the film “Prisoner”. It was then that their romantic relationship allegedly began. Two years ago, Yulia gave birth to a son. The woman still does not advertise the name of the child’s father. Many have no doubt who the boy’s father is, but everything is shrouded in mystery, since Alexey Efimovich has been married to producer Kira Saksaganskaya .

Alexander
Novin for a long time, but, as colleagues assure, they are connected only by their joint work at the State Theater of Nations, where both were invited by his artistic director Evgeny Mironov. (All three of them played in the sensational play “Figaro” five years ago.) They say that if anyone is closer to Sasha in spirit, it is Evgeniy Vitalievich, and not Yulia.

Together they starred in the series “Apostle”, in the film “Diamond Hunters”, Alexander takes part in many productions of the Theater of Nations, goes on tour with Mironov. “Evgeniy Vitalievich takes Sanka with him everywhere,” assures actor Alexey Komashko, who plays the role of cadet Dovilaitis in "Apostle". - They generally communicate closely... And for a long time already. Zhenya takes him into all his films. Director Alexander Kott believes that the friendship of these two men greatly helps them in their work: - I worked quite comfortably with them. I was pleased. Zhenya is a wonderful actor, he inspires. Many theatergoers are sincerely perplexed why the successful and talented Yevgeny Mironov, at 44 years old, cannot start a family. The actor only shrugs his hands playfully in response - he has no time, they say, I’m burning out at work.

While working on Hamlet, Mironov practically did not sleep - he could not. If I fell asleep, I woke up imagining the next mise-en-scène, wrote everything down and went to rehearsal. “It wasn’t just torment,” Mironov recalls. - It was a drug. Absolutely, for three months I was intoxicated by Shakespeare and Stein. I'm hooked on Hamlet.

Movie

Yevgeny Mironov played his first film role in 1988 in Alexander Kaidanovsky’s film “The Kerosene Man’s Wife.” Mironov gained wide fame and recognition as a film actor after playing the leading role in Valery Todorovsky’s film “Love” (1991).

The filmography of Evgeny Mironov includes more than 40 films. And they are all bright and memorable.

“It so happened that I never had an easy job in cinema. Firstly, I always came across roles where I was in the mud, in a swamp. And then you think, there are artists who walk around in white suits, against the backdrop of the sea with a cigar. I was lucky once in the film “The Diary of His Wife,” but even there I had to fall into the sea. Everything is difficult, but, nevertheless, it all pays off in the end,” said the artist. “One of the main advantages of acting is the opportunity to “live” several lives at once. The actor, by his own admission, becomes richer with each new role, filled internally, and this is the main happiness and treasure of any artist,” says Mironov.

In 1992, Evgeny Mironov received an invitation from Pyotr Todorovsky to the tragicomedy “Anchor, more anchor!” Mironov's hero is a cheerful lieutenant who fell in love with the young wife of the unit commander. Critics praised Evgeniy’s image and awarded him the title of best actor in the country at the end of the year.

Three years later, the film “Muslim” was released. Another brilliant work by Mironov. His hero, private Nikolai Ivanov, went through a difficult time: he spent seven years in captivity of the Mujahideen and was sent to his death. When Nicholas was being led to be shot, an Afghan peasant passing by ransomed him. The Russian guy replaced the old man's murdered son. Years later, Nikolai returned to his native village, but he did not find understanding among his relatives and fellow villagers, and many were hostile to his appearance in the village.

In 2001, in the military drama “In August 44,” Evgeniy got one of the main roles: the actor played Captain Alekhine. The film was based on the novel “The Moment of Truth” by Vladimir Bogomolov, and Mironov was accompanied on the set by Vladislav Galkin, Yuri Kolokolnikov and other Russian actors. The film takes place behind the lines of Soviet troops located in liberated Belarus, where enemy agents are working.

One of Yevgeny Mironov’s most notable film works is the role of Prince Myshkin in the film adaptation of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s novel “The Idiot” directed by Vladimir Bortko, presented in 2003. The film was a resounding success and received many cinematic awards - “TEFI”, “Golden Eagle” and others.

In 2008, Mirov again returned to military themes and TV series. The actor took part in the filming of the 12-episode television film “Apostle”. The series tells the story of a rural teacher who turns out to be the twin brother of a deceased German saboteur. The security officers turn to the man in the hope that he will help them find the remaining spies participating in the operation. He agrees to take the deceased’s place in the intelligence network and enters into a deadly game.

The images created in the serial television films “In the First Circle” based on the novel of the same name by Alexander Solzhenitsyn and the role of Fyodor Dostoevsky in the serial television film of the same name became memorable. It is also worth noting the actor’s work in the films “Burnt by the Sun -2”, “On Verkhnyaya Maslovka”, “Space as a Premonition”, “Piranha Hunt”, “The Calculator”, “Escape”, “By Stage”.

In 2013, Hollywood director Vadim Perelman filmed the series “Ashes”. The action takes place between 1938 and 1948. In this film, Evgeniy plays a “bugbear” named Ash. Another hero of the film is the captain of the workers' and peasants' Red Army, Igor Petrov, whose role is played by Vladimir Mashkov. A fateful meeting on the train will change their lives forever: the next morning Ash will wake up in the hospital with Igor Petrov’s documents, and he will disappear, taking the gangster’s gold with him. Over the next ten years, the heroes will have to live someone else's life...

Mashkov is Mironov’s most important partner. Both are Tabakov’s students, both came from Tabakerka. Their duets in the films “Idiot”, “Ashes”, “Piranha Hunt”, “Mother” arouse particular interest among viewers and professionals. According to Mironov, Mashkov can always help, suggest in which direction to move.
