Childhood and adolescence
Maria Kravchenko, the star of the “Merry and Resourceful Club” and the comedy TV show Comedy Woman, spent her childhood in the Khabarovsk Territory, in the city of Komsomolsk-on-Amur. Her mother and father, who had nothing to do with art, realized quite early that the girl was very artistic and her calling was to make people laugh. It is not surprising that Maria Kravchenko’s creative biography is closely connected with participation in humorous television projects, although she herself, as a schoolgirl, did not even think about a career in show business.

While studying at Municipal Educational Institution Secondary School No. 41, Masha began playing in KVN. At the same time, she attended music school, diligently learning to play the piano. In high school, I intensively studied foreign languages, as I planned to become a teacher. At the end of her school life, she moved to Moscow and tried to enter a theater university. Having failed the exams, she entered the Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys and received a teaching diploma.
At the institute, student Maria Kravchenko continued to play KVN with gusto.
Actress Tatyana Kravchenko: “Girls, take off your rose-colored glasses!”
globallookpress.com Once you see this actress, you definitely won’t forget: she is seething with such nuclear energy, such optimism that, after talking with Kravchenko, you understand that life is beautiful and amazing! No wonder her Valyukha Budko from the series “Matchmakers” was so loved by the audience. What is the secret of this inimitable actress and cool woman? I can say for sure - sincerity! And also - in the ability not to be afraid to be yourself, to say what you think and to live without looking back at the past!
- Tanyusha, we have known you for many years. And I want to confess my love to you! You are an amazing person! There's never a dull moment with you. How do you manage to always be positive?
- Oh, my girl, many people think that I have a cheerful, perky character. But, you understand, anything can happen in life: in a temper, I can destroy an apartment. True, now I’ve learned to restrain myself. And when I’m “carried”, then I can get things done. And who suffers from this? Of course, close people. And first of all, my daughter Anya. I love her immensely and we are connected to her by the umbilical cord forever. I can talk about her endlessly!
- So, I would like to take this opportunity to convey great “respect” to Anna. When you “disappear” for a long time and it is impossible to reach you, then Anyuta is always in touch! At least you can find out if everything is “OK” with you!
- So work! Filming, performances. But I'm calling back!
- Tanyusha, let’s talk about women’s topics. Readers are interested in what you think, for example, about men. Do you have a "like"?
- Why talk about men? Now they've gone like this, God forbid! Of course, somewhere there are decent ones. But look how many swindlers and gigolos there are around. They get to know each other, get into your soul, and rob both your soul and your home. But you fall in love with people like that. And sometimes you can’t do anything! Love. And love is like an eclipse. In a word, bitch is love. In my youth, I was amorous: I knew how to seduce guys with my eyes and cheerful disposition. When I was in school, I loved to go to dances and sing in the choir. True, she wasn’t the ringleader, but she didn’t let herself be offended either. I remember one time I came to a dance, and a new guy showed up. I still remember his name – Volodya. And I liked him so much, and he liked me too, that we began, as they say now, to date. No, I didn’t take any liberties! I had a strict upbringing. We were just walking. And one day I decided to confess to him that I wanted to become an artist. I'll never forget his look! It was as if he was saying: “Where are you going? Who will believe you? You won’t succeed!” And I felt so offended. Well, at least cry. This is how my first feeling ended.

Or
— You became a famous actress. Proved that you can. Did you have a meeting with him already at the time of your popularity?
- You know, I even tried to find him! Yes! I wanted to look into his, as I remember now, blue eyes and shout: “I succeeded!” Like this!" But, unfortunately, the meeting did not take place - he is no longer alive.
- Tanyusha, admit it, is your heart busy right now? Have a dear friend?
- Again you with this question! Now my heart is locked. There is an expression: “Never say never!” And I can say for sure that never. I don’t need any romances - neither with young, nor with old, nor with rich, nor with smart ones. Previously - yes! I needed both love and sex, yes, apparently, my marriage had enough, and stupid connections too! Now I have no desire to run out on dates, stay awake all night, cry into my pillow. I often hear from friends: “Do you want to be alone in your old age?” But is it possible to live with a person if your soul does not lie with him? Look for yourself how many women are smart, beautiful, and self-sufficient - but unhappy! They hold on to the man, forgive all meanness, support him. What's the result? Loneliness. I had more than one husband. There were enough men. And I know what I'm saying. I am a very temperamental woman. But with a man you always have to play, be on alert, and you can’t relax. At first they love it madly, and then either leave or sit on your neck. Apparently, my destiny is to be a friend to a man, not a wife. I came to the conclusion that men are a delusion of nature! And I can give advice: “Girls, take off your rose-colored glasses!” Love yourself!
— Have you never worn rose-colored glasses yourself?
- Was. That's why I say it. I didn't have a good family life. It happens.
- Tanyusha, why do you think?
- Oh, my girl, it’s obvious that I’m a very strong woman. There was love, there was. I loved my daughter’s father (Dmitry Gerbachevsky – pr.av), but it didn’t work out. I'm a good housewife. I can do everything! I cooked such borscht, baked such pies - you will lick your fingers! Yes, and she should have understood him when he was sitting without work, she should have earned money for the whole family. Yes, and she had to justify his betrayal. Forgave me when he even raised his hand against me. There was a lot of things. In a word, I filed for divorce.
- Do not regret? Maybe everything would get better.
- No, Tan, I don’t regret it. Now I’m asking myself: “What was the reason for the divorce? When we got married, we were completely satisfied with each other! I liked everything about him: the way he eats, the way he speaks, the way he kisses. Where did it all go? But the passion passed, and we never learned to respect each other. Both are to blame for the divorce. The way it is.
— Tanyusha, why do you think the viewer fell in love with your Valentina Budko from “Matchmakers” so much? It’s impossible to walk around the city with you calmly: people stop you and ask you to take a photo.
- Yes, just a good film. That's the whole secret. By the way, I got into the series by accident. The director of the film watched a play with my participation, “The Jester Balakirev”, at Lenkom, and he liked me. He offered me to star in one episode of “Matchmakers.” I took off. And then it went - off it went. I love this series. And he gave many actors a “second life”: for example, Anatoly Vasiliev did not act in films for a long time, but now he has a lot of offers. We have a very fun company! I became friends with Fedya Dobronravov. Where Fedor is, there is laughter! Sole of company. A huge professional, the kindest person and an excellent family man. How he loves and cares for his wife. These are the kind of men you need to look for! You know, we used to shoot for 12 hours and get terribly tired. And Fedya gave us such a “relaxation”: he would catch crayfish, take a guitar, pour us a glass and life would sparkle with new colors. Apparently, the audience really liked our duet very much, and we are receiving offers from directors to star in other films together. But it is impossible to repeat Valyukha and Ivan Budko! I am truly grateful to this series that it brought me such popularity.
— Tanya, there were rumors that Anatoly Vasiliev left the project because his relationship with Dobronravov did not work out. This is true?
- Well, why are you repeating nonsense! There are no pitfalls here! Tolya left because he thought it was better to leave in the midst of it than to be called a “bunny” for the rest of his life. That's the whole truth.
- When will there be a continuation? When?
- Yes it will be! What a hurry you are! Will! This doesn't just depend on me.
— Tanya, many actors are superstitious. And you?
— I think that in the life of every person there are “mystical” moments. And actors are especially superstitious people. This happens to me: I start thinking about this or that person, and then he immediately appears! What is this? It's like telepathy. I believe that you can put the evil eye on a person, there is an evil eye. Do you remember, in our theater, the best actors left in two years - Alexander Abdulov and Oleg Ivanovich Yankovsky. They even began to say that someone had cursed the theater. Well, nothing foreshadowed trouble! They just burned out! After all this, we even invited a priest to bless the theater. I believe there is another world. I remember in the distant past, using a book, I began to study palmistry. And I found out that I would be related to art and people would “recognize” and love me very well at 57 years old. And so it happened. TV series "Matchmakers".
- But it was a sin for you to complain about the lack of roles!
- I'm not complaining! I've been in great films. I really love the painting “Torpedo Bombers”. What a serious, deep film. And to be honest, it was also a shame: in my youth I did not have such a “take-off” as Tanya Dogileva in her “Blonde Around the Corner”, or like Lenochka Proklova in “Be My Husband”. Well, what to do now? Remember this all your life! Not the same character. Although, I shed a lot of tears! I was confused with both Marina Golub (God bless her!) and Svetlana Kryuchkova. The great Meryl Streep was right when she said that it is difficult to sit and watch when others are playing your roles. This is what I mean: I used to look at a picture and think: “I could have played it even better!” But popularity came to me later! I have Valentina Budko in my repertoire! (laughs).
- Tanyusha, I know you as a person who helps everyone and always!
- Well, you did enough. I have never been greedy, but I have never been a spender either! I have close people whom I help. Yes, I can’t get past people’s grief. Tears well up. But, you know, I don’t like all kinds of foundations! I don't believe them. I recently found out that a girl needs help. I took the money and passed it from hand to hand. I don't like to talk about this topic. You understand.
- Do you regret anything?
- You should never regret anything! Stupidity and a waste of nerves! I think we need to smile more! When people smile at me on the street, I smile back! I feel in my soul that they are sincere. I don't like it when people flatter me. I feel it in my gut. Do you know what is most important for a woman?
- What?
— Motherhood, work, health. You definitely can’t buy health! You need to control yourself! Sometimes, when I “pull myself together,” I go to the pool and take vitamins. But I also have my own principles: you cannot deny yourself “small” weaknesses! Well, I love beer! I love! And I’m not going to deny myself this! Something like that!
— Thank you, dear, for the interview!
- Hugs. See you!

Path to glory
After receiving higher education, Maria did not teach English. She began her career at the Moscow Financial and Legal Academy. In this organization, until 2013, she headed the youth programs department.
This is interesting!
During her student years, Masha became friends with Ekaterina Varnava. Both girls have a great sense of humor, so it was always easy and interesting for them to communicate with each other. The future stars of Comedy Woman performed in front of student audiences with comic miniatures, making the audience laugh to tears.
A little later, when other students joined their duet, the girls decided that they needed to take part in KVN.
Maria and Ekaterina were members of the “MISiS Team” team, and then the “Own Secrets” team.
Maria Olegovna Kravchenko in Comedy Woman
Fans of Comedy Woman will remember the number “Parents fight after their son’s birthday,” which Maria brilliantly performed with the famous Russian comedian Oleg Vereshchagin, and many other comedy miniatures performed by her. Every image she created is bright and unforgettable.
The actress’s inexhaustible, sparkling jokes and inimitable ability to realistically transform into a “poor girl” contributed to the fact that she is perceived as nothing other than a reckless hooligan. However, in real life she is a very helpful and purposeful person.

Maria Kravchenko was born in an industrial town, and she remembers those years with particular warmth. While mom and dad were at work, the comedian actively amused neighbors and classmates with her performances.
She came up with her numbers on the fly, sang and danced. Mom, realizing that talent was growing in her child, sent Masha to a music school for piano lessons.
Despite the fact that Maria calmly went to these classes and even made great progress, she already understood that she did not like classical music and the calm atmosphere.
The temperamental girl wanted more energetic and promising activities , so she began studying English at the same time.
After graduating from school, Masha moved to Moscow and entered the Faculty of Pedagogy at MISiS.
A little later she meets Katerina Varnava, and this meeting completely changed the lives of both.
The girls decided to create a humorous tandem and perform as part of student evenings.
The audience immediately fell in love with the brilliant performances, and the girls began to accept others who wanted to perform into their team.
This is how the KVN team “MISIS Team” appeared , which later changed its name to “Your Secrets”. In 2007, the team ceased to exist, as Maria and Katya left it.
Kravchenko was offered to become an actress in the show “Made in Woman”.
Later it was renamed “Comedy Woman” and made into a television project.
And at first these were ordinary club performances. Kravchenko is one of the few actresses who has worked in the show on a regular basis from the very beginning of its appearance.
The image for Maria turned out to be the most convenient for her - a kind of smug, confident and even hooligan girl who knows how to get her way.
As she herself says, in her childhood she constantly watched such characters, so it was not difficult for her to play such a girl.
In life behind the scenes, Masha is completely different - she is calmer, more romantic, educated and well-mannered.
Her on-screen image greatly interfered with her personal life, since all her suitors were in love with Kravchenko from the show, and her opposite came to them on dates.
Maria even once appeared as a bride in the “Let's Get Married” program, where she revealed her soul. However, the guy she chose did not live up to her hopes and first impression.
In 2013, information about Masha’s affair with TNT channel producer Konstantin Zolotorev was leaked for the first time. And in the spring of 2015, she gave birth to a child from him.
At this point in time, the comedian continues to perform in shows , periodically acting in films.
The comedy “Women Against Men”, where she again had the opportunity to play a hooligan, became her first role.
Maria Kravchenko simply loves high-heeled shoes , and even if she cannot wear them, she will try them on with pleasure. And in men she especially values well-groomed hands - for a girl from Komsomolsk-on-Amur this means a lot.
Comedy Woman star rhinoplasty
Maria Kravchenko's appearance does not require the intervention of plastic surgeons. However, when fame came to the participant of the famous female comedy show and she began to be photographed quite often for glossy publications, she decided to change the shape of her nose. A more noble, as she told reporters in an interview, nose shape was her long-time dream, but for a long time she did not dare to experiment with her appearance.
However, the desire to have ideal, from her point of view, facial features won, and she decided to trust the surgeons.
Maria Kravchenko before and after plastic surgery
The 25-year-old comedian approached the issue of the operation with all seriousness and increased responsibility. Before deciding to undergo rhinoplasty, she talked with many of her colleagues who had undergone similar surgery.
Heading to the clinic, Maria was sure that she was ready for dramatic changes in her appearance, but experienced surgeons convinced her that only the tip of her nose required correction. The girl agreed with the opinion of the cosmetologists, and the changes to her nose were minimal. She was very pleased with the result of the surgical intervention.
Maria Olegovna after rhinoplasty
The actress claims that after plastic surgery she began to feel much more confident in those moments when the camera lens was pointed at her. Performing on stage, she feels that with a changed appearance she is ready to conquer new professional heights.
