Marusya Zykova: I no longer associate with entertainment shows

Childhood and adolescence

Anna is a native Muscovite and hereditary actress, born on October 9, 1968 into a creative, intelligent family. Parents, theater director Olga Velikanova and actor Alexander Yakunin, met and got married at GITIS, where they studied together at the directing department.

Unfortunately, they separated when little Anya turned one year old. Grandma Lelya, an actress at the Malaya Bronnaya Theater, and Aunt Tanya, a ballerina at the Bolshoi Theater, helped raise the girl. Sometimes my grandfather, also an actor, joined the educational process.

Anna spent her entire childhood behind the scenes, watching the actors play and absorbing the magical atmosphere of the theater, and in the evenings she took part in home gatherings, where representatives of the capital's creative elite gathered.

The grandmother really wanted her beloved Anechka to become an actress, and even took the baby on stage several times in various performances. So, as a very little girl, she took part in the production of “Marriage”, and later appeared on stage in performances at the Stanislavsky Theater (“Cyrano de Bergerac”, “Noah and His Sons”). However, the aunt insisted that the girl take up ballet, having discovered that her niece had excellent abilities.

The girl was not accepted into the Moscow Choreographic School, but she was easily accepted into the famous Vaganovka in St. Petersburg, where she studied for four years. Anya showed great promise and was in good standing with the teachers when she made the unexpected decision to leave the school. Excessive physical exertion and constant fasting took their toll, due to which she became anemic for the rest of her life.

But the mother could not come to terms with her daughter’s act, and enrolled her in a folk dance school at the Igor Moiseev ensemble, from which Anna successfully graduated. And although she never became a great dancer, her choreographic skills were very useful to her in her future profession.

I can walk around the city all day with a small bag or clutch: everything always fits in my bag. But I love big ones too! I can’t part with the large black Balenciaga bag: it’s soft and has beautiful handles.

I feel comfortable in heels of any height. But the nose must be round. Miu Miu, Sergio Rossi and Salvatore Ferragamo have such shoes.

Actor career

Having received a school certificate, Yakunina decided to enroll in a theater school and became a student at GITIS. She studied on the course of Boris Gavrilovich Golubovsky. After graduating from the institute in 1990, the girl was accepted into the troupe of the Satyricon theater, where she served for the next thirteen years.

Anna was involved in leading performances, went on tour with the theater and even participated in the entertainment program “Satyricon Show”, with which young actresses performed on cruise ships to earn extra money.

Relations with the artistic director of “Satyricon” Konstantin Raikin deteriorated during Yakunina’s second pregnancy. Raikin harbored a grudge against her and for six years after leaving maternity leave he did not give her serious roles.

Therefore, when in 2003 Mark Zakharov, impressed by her performance of Kukushkina in the production of “Apartment House,” invited her to move to Lenkom, Anna did not think twice and has never regretted her decision.

In addition to her main theatrical activity, Anna often appears in films. She started filming on a big scale relatively late - in 2004. Mostly, she is offered roles in TV series, and most often these are images of bright, charismatic women endowed with a wonderful sense of humor.

At first, these were episodic roles in TV series (“My Fair Nanny”, “Silver Lily of the Valley-2”, “Viola Tarakanova”). In 2009, Anna appeared in the New Year's comedy "The Man in My Head", and in 2010 she played astrologer Vika in the TV series "Zemsky Doctor" and investigator Vasilisa Zhdan in the 24-episode detective story "Chasing the Shadow" with Kirill Safonov.

In 2011, Anna took part in the show “Dancing with the Stars”. She performed in tandem with artist Mukhtar Gusengadzhiev.

Popularity came to Anna after the premiere of the first season of the series “Sklifosovsky”, in which Yakunina played the nurse on duty Nina Dubrovskaya, a simple and strong woman. Apparently, having seen a true reflection of life in her heroine, millions of TV viewers fell in love with Anna. The character of Anna appeared in all subsequent seasons of Sklifosovsky. . It is interesting that Anna is well acquainted with Maxim Averin, who plays the main role in the series, since the time of “Satyricon”. Perhaps that is why their duet looks so organic on the screen. Anna also developed friendly relations with her on-screen husband Andrei Barilo.

In 2013, Anna got one of the leading roles in the TV series “Two Fathers and Two Sons.” It is noteworthy that Yakunina has been friends with the performer of the other main female role, Alika Smekhova, since childhood - she also comes from an acting family, and the girls grew up almost in neighboring houses. “We were 14 years old, but Alika already dreamed of becoming an actress. She stood on her skateboard and said: “Everyone be quiet, I will read Mayakovsky,” Yakunina recalled.

Personal life

In November 2010, the artist gave birth to a daughter, Mirra. For a long time, Zykova’s personal life was behind a thick veil of secrecy: Maria kept the name of the girl’s father a secret. As it turned out, Masha’s common-law husband was the producer of the “Big Difference” project, Ruslan Sorokin. The couple dated for many years, but did not advertise their relationship.

In the summer of 2020, the press started talking about the actress’s new novel. Maria began dating her colleague from the Londongrad project, Evgeny Morozov. The actors appeared together at social events and did not hide from the press. The couple does not have any children together yet.

Personal life of Anna Yakunina

The actress’s personal life is a whole string of bright events and could serve as the basis for an exciting melodrama. As soon as she entered the theater institute, she immediately fell in love with Vladik Gandrabur, the most reckless and uncontrollable guy on the course.

In her second year, Anna fell in love with classmate Sergei Stegailov, to whom she gave birth to a daughter, Nastenka, in 1990. But the family idyll did not last long, the husband turned out to be lazy and lacking initiative, and difficult times began in the country.
