The actor also played the main role of the head of the provincial tram depot, Alexei, in another melodrama, “Simpler than a Steamed Turnip.” Alexey invites an inexperienced cook to work as the head of the canteen in the hope that the canteen will close and this place can be rented out and the city tram preserved. But the cook makes the dining room itself a profitable place, and Alexey falls in love with the girl, but a secret and offensive reason comes between them - the one why Alexey invited the girl to work.
The third film of the year was again a melodrama - “Wounded Heart”. In this film, the actor plays the role of architect Maxim. A man learns that his first love has died, and that he has a teenage daughter from this woman.

In the winter of 2020, it became clear that the family of Pshenichny and Greshnova was held together by something stronger than a stamp in a passport - children. The couple hid Lyubava's pregnancy, the actors did not make official statements, Greshnova appeared in public in loose clothes, and in the photo on Instagram - only from the waist up. Only shortly before giving birth, the actress published a photo with accessories for newborns - diapers, an envelope, ribbons. In recent months, Lyubava began taking full-length photographs, and on February 25 she gave birth to a son, who became the first-born in the acting family.
Personal life
Mikhail Pshenichny has a personal relationship with actress Lyubava Greshnova. Fate brought the young people together three times. Both studied at the Kiev National University of Theater, Film and Television named after I.K. Karpenko-Kary. Later we met at the Pandora's Box project. For the third time, fate brought Mikhail and Lyubava together on the set of the film “My Friend’s Bride.” According to Lyubava, Misha tried to flirt with her, but it seemed to her that he was teasing. Everything changed after the scene on the bridge, which became a turning point in the relationship between the actors. According to the plot, Mikhail was supposed to reach out to Lyuba with a kiss, and she was supposed to turn away. But for some reason the actress didn’t do this. At that moment, a spark ran between them. After filming ended, Misha came to visit Lyubava, and they never parted again. Mikhail Pshenichny proposed to his beloved in the Dominican Republic, on the ocean shore.
“We met Lyubava at the university, then we crossed paths more than once on different film sets. And while working on the film “My Friend’s Bride,” we realized that we couldn’t live without each other. True, we won’t get to the registry office, although we immediately agreed that we were not just a couple, but husband and wife. And on the New Year, which we celebrated in the Dominican Republic, I made an official proposal to Lyubava and heard the desired “yes” in response,” says the artist.
In February 2020, the couple had their first child, whose name they chose not to advertise.

The young man earned his first money at the age of ten and bought sweets.
Pshenichny was a very active child; he could not sit still for a minute. In order for the child to have somewhere to direct his energy, his parents sent him to the sports section. A few years later, he began to get involved in wrestling, and even wanted to follow in the footsteps of his grandfather and become a master of sports.
Immediately after graduating from a higher educational institution, Mikhail begins working in his specialty. From this moment the creative activity of the young actor begins.
Career
For two years he worked in one of the Lviv theaters.
In 2007, he made his film debut. At first, Mikhail was invited to participate in multi-part series. The first roles were minor, but very soon he was noticed. The first series with Misha’s participation was “The Ex”.
Five years later he moved to Moscow. This is where the young artist’s finest hour begins. He was invited to star in such films as: “My Friend’s Bride”, “Pandora’s Box”. With each series that aired, Misha became more and more recognized.

Personal life of the artist
Mikhail met Lyubava during his student years, but at that time they were not romantically involved. The story of the lovers began with the film “My Friend’s Bride.”
Lyubava always thought that she was not at all attractive to her scene partner, and only on the last day of filming did a spark run between the actors.
Mikhail did not delay the marriage and proposed his hand and heart to Lyubava when they were vacationing together at the resort. The actor thought through everything down to the smallest detail, how he would propose to his beloved, half of his vacation was spent on this.
In the Pshenichny family, it is important that food is not only healthy, but also tasty. But once a month, Mikhail and his wife allow themselves to eat something very high in calories and harmful to the body.
Mikhail regularly pampers his common-law wife with culinary delights.
Despite the proposal, young people are in no hurry to legitimize their relationship. Misha and Lyubava are very similar in appearance.

Interview
About success
“First of all – brains! As in any profession, and even outside the profession. To live well, happily and correctly, you need brains, order in your head and the ability for spiritual growth. Yes, you need to exercise and look presentable. I'm not talking about a bodybuilder's body, but about the fact that in a healthy body there is a healthy mind. When a person plays sports at least a little, he thinks differently and looks at everything with a fresh look. An actor must develop, read books, watch movies. Never stop learning, and always get to know yourself. And honesty is important! When you are honest in everything you do - in films, in interviews, in life - then success awaits you. And if you are disingenuous and try to seem like someone else, it’s unlikely that anything will work out.”
About women
“Sometimes I want to address them in the words of Robert Rozhdestvensky: “Please be weaker!” A woman must believe in her man and show it with all her appearance. And a man has difficult times, and the main task here is to be there, to encourage him with the word: “You can handle it, I know you will find a solution.” But don’t run “ahead of the locomotive”, taking a lot of unnecessary actions. Before you, did he somehow cope with his affairs?.. So give him the opportunity to prove himself. The desire to lead the family and make decisions is not a guarantee of a successful marriage. A man must be respected and become wiser next to him. Well, strong women always come across weak men, and vice versa. Draw conclusions."
Work or home
“I think it’s wrong to make such a choice – family or work. The most important thing in life is to be able to maintain balance. Yes, we also most often work separately - sometimes Lyubava goes to a project, and I stay at home, sometimes vice versa. But we are used to it and do not see anything strange or surprising in such schedules and lifestyle. Let’s say when I’m filming and I have a break of a couple of days, I fly home. Or Lyubava, if she is free, can fly to me for filming.
The fact that a husband and wife do not see each other for months should be asked not from actors, but from military wives, pilots or, even better, submariners. When your spouse goes on an expedition for six months, and even at the risk of his life. This is the real test! Many couples are engaged in business, extreme professions, and how do these families exist? Exactly the same as acting. You never need to sacrifice anything: neither work nor family. It is important to be disciplined, to be able to properly distribute strength and energy. Don't take on everything at work. Spend free time with family. And then you won’t have to sacrifice anything, you will be able to live in joy and enjoy everything you have.”
About illusions
“But cinema overly idealizes people. Especially our post-Soviet films, where negative and positive characters are clearly expressed. I repeat, this doesn’t happen in life. And appearances are often deceiving, especially those of an actor. I see how spectators fall in love with an artist, believing that he is as ideal in life as on the screen... But it turns out that everything is not so. He is alive! This doesn't mean good or bad. Just alive. He may make mistakes, he may stumble, he may spill his tea. This doesn’t happen in the movies; there will definitely be a prince on a white horse. But that’s why films are made, to look at these heroes and dream. When leaving the cinema, you need to cross this line, and not forget that the character is played by a living person with his own problems.”
