Desire to become an actress
The biography of Marusya Zykova began on January 25, 1986 in the Russian capital. Her parents worked as geophysicists. One day they were sent on a work trip to Sakhalin. But in 1995, an earthquake occurred there, and the Zykov family was forced to move to Tula.

She was so absorbed in the dream of becoming an artist that she decorated her apartment with posters and made paper flowers for herself, which her parents solemnly presented to her after each performance. And the girl’s uncle, who was a graduate of GITIS, tried to seriously prepare his niece for an artistic career.
As a schoolgirl, Zykova Marusya entered the Secret Theater (children's group), which was organized at the Tula Palace of Pioneers. After the girl began performing on stage, the number of theater visitors increased significantly. Immediately after graduating from school, Zykova got a job on local television.

Smart blonde
In Tula, Zykova graduated from the Humanitarian Institute of Television and Radio Broadcasting (GITR), and therefore she had something to present to the Russian capital. The girl went to Moscow with a specific goal - to become a famous presenter and actress. In the capital of Zykov, Marusya tried to break into television by attending various castings. At first, her candidacy was not suitable for anyone. But the aspiring actress knew that fate gives every person a chance, and her day would soon come.
In Moscow, Marusya worked as an administrator, assistant director, and editor; later - producer and director of the show program. The girl was able to prove that she has excellent artistic talent, and, despite her golden hair color, she is not at all stupid.

Stellar success
Zykova’s popularity came after her participation in the “Give Youth” project. It was a kind of loud start, after which the girl began to receive other offers to participate in show programs and television projects. The popularity of the young actress began to grow rapidly.
Today Marusya is the host of the “Video Battle” program, and also performs parodies in the “Big Difference” program. During her time working on the television project, the girl performed many parody roles: Ksenia Sobchak, Vera Brezhneva, Sergei Zverev, Olga Fadeeva, Marilyn Monroe and others.
In addition, Marusya Zykova herself writes music and poems for songs; The girl is interested in photography and loves to travel. The TV presenter’s immediate plans include writing a book, filming her own film, organizing holidays and concerts for loved ones.
Personal life
On the set of TV shows, the actress appears with bright makeup and outrageous clothes. But in life the girl looks completely different. The personal life of Marusya Zykova remains behind the scenes. The girl doesn't like to advertise it. But some data from her family album is still known.
The TV presenter admitted in an interview that she prefers men who are different from herself. She likes young people who know what they want from life and who have their own aspirations. Guys who are a separate entity can “hook” Marusya. She likes it when each partner has their own “battlefield” and they do not get entangled with each other in a tight emotional tangle. A union with a Zykov man represents well-established diplomatic relations between two independent states.
Apparently, the parodist was able to find such a man. More recently, news appeared in the press that Zykova gave birth to a daughter, whose father was the producer of “Big Difference.”
Marusya Zykova: I no longer associate with entertainment shows
Any TV viewer will recognize her - this is the girl from “Big Difference” , who parodied half of the stars of Russian show business, and the blonde with an ideal figure from “Give You Youth” on STS .
True, the times of television humor are long over for her, and now Zykova is in search of “that very” role in a big movie. In the meantime, Marusya (30) plays tragic love in a short film with Nikita Efremov and appears in Anya Melikyan’s second part “About Love” . Read about her other projects in our exclusive interview.
Correa’s restaurant in the Yandex wearing heavy boots (“They are men’s”), pipe trousers, a black top and a “gentleman’s” coat (also black), almost without makeup, her hair is randomly curly. Low voice, soft gestures, open smile.
He asks the waiter for coffee “to go,” rather than in a mug (“It tastes better in a disposable cup,” he explains to me in a low voice).
Why Marusya? Zykova doesn’t have any special story here “I just never liked it when people called me Masha or Maria. So I changed it to Marusya - I like it better .
Her gentlemanly image (for some reason, actress Asia Argento with her masculine character and gentle gaze) does not at all fit with motherhood and various girlish habits (like healthy eating or love for expensive shoes), nevertheless, Marusya’s usually begins from kindergarten - he takes his daughter Mirra (“She is six years old”). Then he returns home, does exercises ( “When your body is in good shape, then everything is in order in your head” ), studies English ( “I talk on Skype or watch movies” ), goes to auditions, and in the evening – “to the cinema or we’re lying around at home.”
She is raising her daughter in freedom: “I listen to her, I don’t force her if she doesn’t want to. We have disciplines and rules within which she is free to do whatever she wants. Mostly we have fun and get high. It's crazy cool when you have kids ."
But Marusya spent her childhood on Sakhalin (the village of Okha ). My parents, geophysicists, moved there from Moscow for work. “When I was a child, there were Japanese coffee gums that we (the children) chewed in circles. And drilling wells – I grew up with oil, as you can imagine,” she laughs. But to get to the kindergarten (and then to school) you had to walk seven kilometers, or take a bus, “if you’re lucky and it doesn’t break down.” And it’s cold on Sakhalin , by the way, summer is only one month. But little Marusya was not embarrassed by this; she was never bored. “Nearby is the sea, there were cloudberries, various mushrooms, and nuts growing all around. There was even a maniac in our village - they said that he walked around and for some reason opened his coat. So my friends and I went hunting for pine nuts, but in reality we wanted to look at the maniac. We needed to understand why he opens his coat. (Laughs.) We never saw it.”
In the summer she came to stay warm in Simferopol with her grandparents. Then Marusya first became acquainted with television. My grandmother worked at a television factory and constantly brought home some parts. “ It was my grandfather’s job to collect parts, we were paid for this, and we had fun: we bought ice cream or went to the poultry market . One day we bought a snake. But that's another story..."
In 1995, in neighboring Neftegorsk , which destroyed the city, so Marusya had to leave for the mainland (to Tula , relatives lived there). Okha since then , but dreams of returning.
“In Tula I had a marginal class. The area in which the school was located was a factory area. My parents loved to indulge in reflection, so they constantly talked about our family noble nest near Tver . And they used a bulldozer to dig out the gap between me and my classmates. At school, the coolest guys and girls went to drink beer and sniff glue on heating pipes. Of course, I also wanted to be “cool.” But I couldn’t do that, we have a nest! »
Therefore, Marusya became friends with two more “outsider twins”, with whom they practically created a club of mass entertainers: “We staged skits and dances. And we had an advantage - we were often taken from classes for rehearsals and performances.” So Marusya retrained from a “nerdy girl” to . ”
She decided to enter the University of Finance and Economics (“I loved solving various equations”). And she even worked in her first year as a secretary in one company... But a month later she was casted for Tula television, where she ended up staying for two years. And then I transferred to the Moscow State Institute of Radio Engineering and the Faculty of Journalism. This is where the fun began. Marusya was hired as a coordinator at Ostankino, but she didn’t forget to go to castings (one of them brought her to STS in “Give Youth” ). And then I met Tsekalo - and the era of “The Big Difference” .
She can tell a lot about that time, but it seems that she has changed so much since then that it no longer makes any sense. She knows how to let go of the past, and this is a useful quality. “ I read about one tribe that has this philosophy: after a certain stage in his life, a person seems to die, and then is born again . That is, each stage of growing up (childhood, adolescence, youth, and so on) is a new life, the old you has died, “that” you no longer exists. And in every period of life you come as a new person. Same with my youth: “Big difference” and “Give youth . People still come up and ask whether I’m filming there or not. And this was almost eight years ago. Eight! I simply don’t exist anymore . It was quick popularity, the nature of which I still don’t fully understand.”
Now she treats TV humor with caution. On all channels there is “laughing”, which depresses her. “Almost no one jokes about real topics. Instagram can be funnier and sharper than the content of some channels. I’m not against humor, but when I see how artists joke, but they themselves are not happy, when the audience sits and claps their hands because they have to. Everything related to substitution is worth nothing .”
And while Marusya is looking for “her own” in a huge number of scripts, she plays in short films. Now she is filming the continuation of the film almanac “Witnesses” of three short stories about the victims of the Holocaust directed by Constantine Fama . The first film, “The Shoe,” Oscar shortlist , and the second, “Brutus,” Oscar shortlist . And now Marusya is filming her third film - “The Violin” . “It's the same story with the same characters, but filmed from different points of view. In “The Violin” the story of my heroine will be told in more detail.”
By the way, in the short film she has a permanent partner - actor (and part-time boyfriend) Evgeny Morozov , who is now the director of the film “First Love” Nikita Efremov became Marusya’s partner . And in the summer, she and Zhenya starred together in a short film called “Euthanasia” (directed by Maria Frolova). “In the story, we were a couple on the verge of divorce. The experience is interesting. If only because we are head over heels in love with each other, and on the set we had to break up and sort things out .”
She also starred with Anya Melikyan in one of the short stories of the film “About Love - 2” . Her role there is “for two lines,” but Marusya promises it will be interesting: “We had a blast.”
She calls herself a fan of the profession, but she doesn’t act much now: “This is my conscious choice. But I read all the scripts, consider every opportunity to act.” She doesn’t want to make “creative compromises”; the actress has had a lot of them in her past. “ Of course, this has its downsides - the lack of filming, but if this is the price for remaining yourself, then okay - I agree to it! “Yes, Marusya copes with this role (remaining herself) perfectly. And what attracts her is some completely down-to-earth attitude towards life: Zykova is a realist, which is rarely characteristic of people in the acting profession.
“It’s just that the biggest changes in my creative and personal life happened when I was who I am ,” she smiles.

Family life
Ruslan Sorokin and Marusya Zykova have been living together for several years. They met on the “Big Difference” program, produced by Ruslan. In 2010, Marusya became a happy mother. She gave birth to a girl weighing 4.1 kg. The young parents gave their daughter an ancient name - Mirra. Now everyone knows who the father of Zykova’s child is. Without a doubt, this is Ruslan Sorokin. The girl herself does not hide this fact, but she prefers to remain silent about other details of her family life.
It is known that Marusya is a very reasonable person. In life, including family life, she values diversity. She is depressed by joint trips to hypermarkets and an ideally organized life. Zykova understands the full responsibility of family relationships, but believes that each partner should have their own interests and hobbies that will distract them from the mundanity of everyday life.
Childhood and youth
Zykova was born in the Russian capital on January 25, 1986. Her parents are geophysicists, so soon after the birth of the heiress, the family went on a long business trip to Sakhalin. There, in the small town of Okha, the future celebrity spent his entire childhood. In 1995, the Zykov family moved to Tula, where the girl graduated from local educational institution No. 4.
Every summer Marusya Zykova vacationed with relatives in Simferopol. The grandmother of the future actress worked at a television factory. At the first opportunity, grandfather and granddaughter helped her with her work: they assembled parts that grandmother brought from the factory, and spent all the money they earned on sweets.
The girl began to show artistic talents in her childhood. She danced and sang well, arranging home concert programs for her parents. The little artist painted posters with her name, and also made paper flowers, which her mother and father threw at the end of the performance on an impromptu stage.
After graduating from a general education institution, Zykova became a student at the Humanitarian Institute of Television and Radio Broadcasting, where she studied journalism.
Ruslan Sorokin
Marusya Zykova and her husband rarely appear together in public. The couple does not like to advertise their relationship. But fans of the artist always want to know more information about Ruslan Sorokin. It is known that he is the producer of the “Big Difference” program. A few years ago, he received a new position - executive producer of STS Media. There, Ruslan oversees the production of content for the holding’s TV channels. Sorokin is considered one of the most successful producers of modern television. That is why he is trusted with important work in this direction. And he began his career with Belarusian TV, was the chief editor of Ren-TV, creative producer of Kinoconstanta and producer of a number of special projects on Channel One. Sorokin was able to create his own production company called Sreda. He is also a member of the Russian Television Academy. Probably, such determination, fighting spirit and talent of Ruslan attracted Marusya, and without hesitation she decided to connect her life with a successful producer.
Participation in "Ice Age"
Not long ago, the parody actress agreed to take part in the Ice Age show. Her partner was Olympic ice dancing champion Roman Kostomarov. TV viewers really loved this star couple. In a spectacular and unpredictable project, they looked beautiful and very harmonious. Roman Kostomarov and Marusya Zykova have won many fans who are looking forward to their next performance. The TV presenter admits that it is not easy for her to match Roman’s high level. He is a professional in his field, and therefore wants his partner to carry out all actions clearly and quickly. At first, the original duet was received ambiguously by the jury members. But later the couple fell in love with everyone without exception.
Role and favorite images
It is known that the young actress gained fame from her participation in the “Give Youth” project. Marusya Zykova admits that it was from this program that the role of a stupid blonde was assigned to her. The girl notes that it is difficult for her to try on the image of a “fool.” Such scenarios often drove Marusya to hysterics.
Now Zykova is more relaxed about such roles, but still tries to play deeper characters. The most beloved, successful and organic image for the actress is the role of Ksenia Sobchak. Marusya admits that she enjoys imitating the manners of a socialite.

On the attitude of men towards female comedians
“I would say this: men are afraid of such women. In general, they are more likely than women to be offended by jokes directed at themselves. For example, of everyone we parodied in “Big Difference,” there were only three dissatisfied: Bezrukov, Berman and Zhandarev. Not a single woman was offended by the parody.”
About why humor is considered not a woman's business
“Because this is a man’s weapon, with the help of jokes, young people already in adolescence try to attract women’s attention - they go to play KVN, for example. And then, what is the most fun? This is all there is in Charlie Chaplin's comedies: when, for example, a bucket of water is dropped on one's head or when a person slips and falls. If this happens to a girl, and a beautiful one at that, it looks strange, and the man doesn’t know how to behave. He wants to admire his lady, and here she is - bam! - falls with a bucket on his head! It seems to me that at this moment a glitch occurs in the male consciousness: how to react?!”
