Start
In one of her interviews, actress Agniya Kuznetsova admitted that she had a very hard time going through the period when her beloved abandoned her.
According to her, this happened with virtually no explanation. But she tried not to break. Managed to get out of a difficult situation. Start living, working and even loving again.
Agnia's career as an actress began quite early. While still a student at Pike, she made her debut in the film Birds of Heaven. But her main role in the acclaimed film “Cargo 200” brought her triumph.
These two films gave a decent start to the aspiring actress. And soon the talented girl was invited to audition by the young director Valeria Gai Germanika .
Agnia immediately agreed to the role of a broken ninth-grader in the film “Everyone Will Die, But I’ll Stay,” although she assures that the role was difficult for her.
Rapid conquest of the cinema Olympus
After graduation, Agnia played at the Modern theater, but did not last long there, soon becoming an artist in Praktika and Another Theater. She appeared on the set for the first time when she was still a student: in the film “Birds of Heaven” she was immediately entrusted with the main role. After this work, the aspiring actress began collaborating with director Alexei Balabanov, starring in his film “Cargo 200”. She successfully coped with the role of Angelica, thereby arousing the interest of another director - Guy Germanika, who invited her to play in the social drama “Everyone will die, but I will stay.” Kuznetsova’s talented performance was noted at the Brussels Film Festival in 2008, where she was awarded a well-deserved film award.
Still from the film “Stranger Among Our Own.”
It is not surprising that after such striking works they began to offer her leading roles. Among Agnia’s most successful film images we can note such heroines as Varya Bulatnikova in the melodrama “The Arithmetic of Meanness”, Lisa Vetrova in the series “Made in the USSR”, Natasha Stroeva in the detective story “MosGaz” and others. In 2014, the actress again worked with Valeria Gai Germanika, starring in the leading role in the film “Yes and Yes.” During the filming process, she did not even have time to sleep, however, these efforts were worth it, since for the image of a teacher in love, Kuznetsova was nominated for the White Elephant and Nika awards. In 2020, television viewers were able to appreciate her work in the crime drama Highway of Death. In 2020, seven film projects are expected to be released in which the actress will play: she will appear in such films as “Girls Don’t Give Up,” “The Yellow Eye of the Tiger,” “Pregnancy Test 2” and others.
Bichevin
In parallel with her career, Kuznetsova also built her personal life. Leonid Bichevin became her boyfriend for several years . By the way, he sought the girl’s favor for many months.
Agnia herself was not ready to build a serious relationship at that time. They lived together for several years, and then the young man, having packed his things, left. Agnia admits that she still does not know the reason for his action.
They talked a lot on the phone and met to sort things out. They even tried to establish a life together again, but nothing worked out. Leonid himself could not explain the reason for his action.
He, like Agnia, was tormented, tormented, asked for forgiveness, but did not return to her.
With Leonid Bichevin
Agnia accepted his decision very hard. I stopped eating, stopped sleeping, and cried a lot. And she couldn’t think about work at all. When the actress was offered the role of a girl dying from unhappy love in the film “The Hindu,” she agreed without hesitation.
She didn't even need to get into character. The terrible depression in life spilled over onto the screen. In the frame, the directors saw a love-stricken girl every day.
She treated her wound for a long time, and gradually the pain dulled.

Actress Agniya Kuznetsova, known to viewers from the films “Cargo 200”, “Everyone will die, but I will stay”, “And the dawns here are quiet...” became the wife of dancer Maxim Petrov. The couple got married today in one of the capital's registry offices. Agnia was wearing a light dress of a simple cut. She styled her hair in a high bun and pinned on a veil. The groom put on a suit, white shirt and bow tie. Apparently, the ceremony was quite modest.
Acquaintance with the shocking director Valeria Gai Germanika brought Agnia not only a role in the film “Everyone will die, but I will remain,” for which she received an award for best actress at the European Film Festival in Brussels, but also a husband. It was Germanika who introduced Petrov and Kuznetsov to each other. On the “Dancing with the Stars” project, Valeria danced together with Maxim and told him a lot about her friend.
It is noteworthy that Petrov, who lived abroad for a long time, knew nothing about actress Agnia Kuznetsova. The choreographer first saw his future wife at the birthday party of his daughter Germanika. Then, when the actress became a guest star on the project “Dancing with the Stars,” they did a number together with Andrei Kozlovsky. After this, the couple began to communicate closely.

“When we started training with Maxim, I liked that he constantly calmed me down. You feel like someone is walking next to you, as if they are watching you. Well, how can I explain this? Such protective energy,” Agnia said in an interview.
By the way, Agnia once admitted that Maxim fully corresponds to the image of the man she would like to marry: Petrov has never been married, he has no children, he is 35 years old and a creative person. As for the heirs, the actress does not hide that she wants a large family, which should have at least two kids.
Before meeting Petrov, Kuznetsova had a long relationship with actor Leonid Bichevin, whom she met at the Shchukin Theater School. However, the couple did not tie the knot for the following reason: Agnia wanted to get married, and her chosen one was unbaptized. Kuznetsova later stated that living together with the actors was impossible.
Maxim did not have a serious relationship - work took up all his free time. At the same time, after meeting Agnia, he became more confident in himself. “I’m probably more cautious, but Agnia, I can say, is the first person who gave me some kind of confidence. I am one hundred percent confident in this man. I don’t know, I’m ready to do a lot for her! She motivates me. I believe every woman should do this in a relationship with a man, this is her main task. At the same time, Agnia is a clear leader,” said the dancer.
Agnia Kuznetsova's husband
Agnia made her second attempt at building happiness with cameraman Fyodor Lyass . At first glance, everything was fine with them, but soon the couple announced their separation.
According to the girl, everything happened quite easily with mutual consent. Agnia believes that Fedor was not the person with whom she would like to connect her life. And despite the fact that the feeling of falling in love always helped her on set, she decided that she would build a career without it.
True, the same Valeria Germanika did not allow her to remain alone. It was she who introduced her friend to Maxim Petrov . The young man at that time lived practically in two countries - Iceland, where he had a dance business, and Russia, where he participated in the “Dancing with the Stars” project.
With Maxim Petrov
They soon realized that their meeting was not accidental. A beautiful wedding with a dancer took place in the fall three years ago. A little later, the media was full of headlines that Kuznetsova and Petrov would soon become parents, but there were no official comments from the couple.
And the actress herself plunged into filming with even greater zeal, which finally dispelled all the rumors.
Husband recommended by a friend
The first to meet Agnia Kuznetsova’s future husband was her friend Valeria Gai Germanika. The director was invited to participate in the show “Dancing with the Stars.” She was paired with an attractive dancer, Maxim Petrov. Valeria spent several hours a day with him at rehearsals and often talked about Agnia.
The stories were so fascinating that Maxim asked Valeria to introduce him to her friend. The girl did not refuse and a few days later Maxim and Agnia had their first date. According to the dancer, after a few minutes of communication, he felt that he had met exactly the woman he had dreamed of for many years.
While Maxim was working abroad and improving his choreography, he had no time to think about his personal life. However, the guy always knew that he needed a wife from Russia and preferably a blonde. Everything came true, except that Agnia turned out to be a brunette, but this did not bother Maxim much. He was in love.
The stormy romance between Agnia and Maxim lasted half a year. After which the guy decided to propose to his beloved. This happened on the actress’s birthday. They rode horses together, after which Maxim got down on one knee and proposed. Agnia did not hide her joy and agreed to get married.
The young people began to prepare for the wedding, of which there were two. They organized the first celebration in Moscow for all their friends. They had their second wedding in Altai and celebrated it with their family and friends. The couple spent their honeymoon in the Maldives. On December 7, 2020, the actress became a mother for the first time; Agnia Kuznetsova and her husband had a son.
Now the family lives in two countries. Agnia Kuznetsova’s husband Maxim works in Iceland, where he has real estate and his own dance school. Agnia is in demand in Russia and actively appears in films. So far, distance has no effect on the relationship between the spouses. But in the future they are going to save up money for a quiet life and settle down together in one country. But this requires a little time and patience.
Professional activity
After graduating from secondary school, Maxim entered the Altai State Institute of Culture and Arts to study as a teacher and choreographer in ballroom choreography. After graduating from a creative university in 2000, the young choreographer goes to conquer Moscow, where there are much more prospects for realizing his profession than in the provinces. At the age of 23, Maxim became a master of sports in ballroom dancing.
After graduating from the Altai Institute of Culture, Maxim worked in Moscow as a professional for four years. In 2004, the young choreographer studied at the London Dance School for two years. While studying in England, he regularly took part in various ballroom dance tournaments. He was also a teacher and choreographer for the Icelandic ballroom dance team. His students participated in European and world championships.
In 2006, Maxim returned to Moscow, but already with the rank of a choreographer and dancer of international class. From 2012 to 2013, he studied and improved in new dance styles of choreography in America.
In 2020, the dancer took part in the show “Dancing with the Stars” (channel “Russia-1”), where director Valeria Gai Germanika became his partner. Maxim taught Valeria how to dance from the very beginning, since before that the scandalous director had never danced at all. Despite this, the couple achieved considerable success in the show. In the next season of “Dancing with the Stars” in 2020, Maxim also took part as a dancer-choreographer, where the famous actress Irina Bezrukova became his partner.
Maxim successfully combines work in Russia and Europe, where he has many students.
In 2020, Maxim took part in the “Dancing” show in Reykjavik, where his partner was the Eurovision 2009 finalist, singer Johana Gvudrun Jonsdottir. As a result, the couple became the winners of the dance project. The artist has his own home and dance school in Iceland. He often participates as a judge in international dance tournaments.
In 2020, the choreographer again took part in the Russian TV show “Dancing with the Stars-11,” where his partner was the famous Honored Artist of the Russian Federation, Alena Babenko.
Career
Maxim Petrov returned to Russia in 2006. But now - in the rank of an international class dancer. When he returned to the capital, the choreographer had many achievements in his baggage. During his stay in the UK, Maxim managed to become a finalist in several prestigious tournaments that were held in England.
But not only Britain saw the success of the Russian choreographer. Maxim Petrov was also remembered in Iceland. Here he became the leading teacher of the country's ballroom dancing team. In this capacity, Max appeared at the World and European Championships.
The choreographer is sure that there is no limit to perfection. And also - that you need to study endlessly, because life changes, and with it changes occur in choreography. New dance movements and styles are emerging. Therefore, in 2012-2013, Maxim Petrov visited America. In the USA, he learned everything new that American choreographers could offer him.
Returning to his homeland, Petrov becomes a participant in dance projects and shows. In 2020, he took part in the popular television project “Dancing with the Stars.” He came across a very bright and famous student: the director of many sensational films, Valeria Gai Germanika, accepted the invitation to take part in the show, although before that, she claims, she did not know how to dance at all. Maxim had the opportunity to teach Valeria the basics. But the teacher and student showed diligence, and the result turned out to be quite good.
Choreographer Maxim Petrov visits Russia, albeit regularly, but on short visits: he mainly lives and works in Europe, where he has many students. Petrov often comes to his small homeland - he also has students in Barnaul.
In the new season of the show “Dancing with the Stars,” Maxim Petrov appeared again. Now actress Irina Bezrukova became his student.
Recently, Max Petrov is also known as an international judge.
Actor career
As a student, Agnia met a casting assistant who was looking for an actress for the main female role in Alexei Balabanov’s film “Cargo 200.”
Critics spoke ambiguously about her heroine: some admired her, others blamed her for agreeing to the role of the victim, and others even argued that she would no longer be trusted to act in films. After filming her debut film, she got a job at the Modern Theater, but could not stay there for long. In 2008, Kuznetsova met Valeria Gai Germanika, director of the drama “Everyone will die, but I will stay.” Agnia herself chose the role, reincarnating as one of the main characters – Zhanna. The following year, at the Brussels Film Festival, the girl deservedly received the Best Actress award.
In the same year, the girl again collaborated with Balabanov, who was working on the drama “Morphine” (interpretation of the story by M. Bulgakov). Kuznetsova played a nurse.
In 2010, the actress appeared in the title role in the thriller Phobos. The film was about a group of teenagers who went to a club located in a former bomb shelter. None of the young people suspected that they would soon find themselves in a trap and to get out of it they would have to rely only on their own strength.
After some time, Agnia could be seen in one of the main roles in the television series “I won’t give you to anyone.” This time the girl had to reincarnate as conductor Rita, who became one of the ends of the love triangle.
Agniya Kuznetsova in “Evening Urgant” (2014)
In 2011, the actress captivated critics and attracted the attention of directors thanks to her minor role in the much-loved television series “Made in the USSR.” In 2012, Agnia played one of the key roles in the comedy melodrama “It’s Simple.”
In 2014, Valeria Gai Germanika invited Agnia to play the main role in the melodrama “Yes and Yes.”
The film told the story of the difficult love between a simple teacher and an artist. Agnia, a thin girl with dreadlocks, gave the film the necessary boost of energy. “This film is a declaration of love to all humanity,” Agnia noted in an interview.
In 2020, the girl played one of the main roles (Sonya Gurvich, who died in the forest at the hands of the Nazis) in the military drama “The Dawns Here Are Quiet” (a remake of a Soviet film) together with Zhenya Malakhova, Kristina Asmus, Anastasia Mikulchina and Pyotr Fedorov.
