The girl's first hobby was ballet, and when she was 4 years old, her parents took her to ballet school. Rina dreamed of becoming a professional ballerina, and the able-bodied girl had all the prerequisites for this. But a leg injury dramatically changed her fate: three operations, several months in a cast and a long recovery ruined the dancer’s career. In parallel with dancing, Rina attended a music school, where she mastered two instruments: piano and violin.

At the age of 13, a new tragedy awaited the girl: her father died. Mom moved her daughters (Rina and her younger sister Lisa) to St. Petersburg. Here, the creatively gifted little girl realized her potential within the youth theater group at the Zazerkalye musical theater, where Rina studied until she graduated from school.

So, on the same day, Alexander Kachura (deputy head of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on the Organization of State Power) announced that Yulia Grishina could become the new Minister of Education in the government of Denis Shmygal.
Actor career
The first appearance on the big screen happened back in 2001. 14-year-old Rina was invited to participate in the filming of the series “Named Baron.” The girl played the main character Oksana (Anna Geller) as a child. In the same year, the creators of the British series Crime and Punishment came to St. Petersburg for filming. Rina got the small role of a singing beggar girl to whom Raskolnikov hands a coin. Having received it, the girl immediately falls silent, and Raskolnikov becomes furious.

This was followed by one of the main roles in the children's adventure film "The Secret of the Zaborsky Whirlpool", where, together with young Maxim Emelyanov, Rina revealed the secret of the monster living in the lake. The film's cast received awards from the Kinotavrik and Artek children's festivals.

Over the following years, the young actress’s filmography was replenished with episodic roles in well-known projects (“Liteiny, 4”, “Streets of Broken Lanterns”, “Road Patrol”, “Chief”, “Secrets of the Investigation”).
When the last bell rang for graduate Rina Grishina, the question of her future profession was resolved: she submitted documents to the St. Petersburg State Academy of Theater Arts. Three years later, her sister also entered there. In 2012, Rina became a graduate of Sergei Cherkassky’s workshop.

On stage, Rina Grishina even had to play Charlie Chaplin: for the vivid image created in the production “Mirror of the Stage”, the actress took a prize at the theater festival. She could be seen on the stages of the Lensovet Theater, the Summer Theater, the Vladimir Vysotsky House on Taganka, and the V. Meyerhold Center.

In parallel with her studies and theatrical appearances, she continued to appear on television: she could be seen in the action movie “Atonement” (2010), the TV series “PPS” and “The Fifth Blood Type” (2011), “Coast Guard” (2012), and the psychological drama “ Games for adult children." In the latter, Rina took on a key role - a girl from the province, who became part of a tangled tangle of relationships.

During her studies, the girl was also lucky to be in the cast of the new “Sherlock Holmes” with Andrei Panin and Igor Petrenko. Her heroine's fiancé died, and the detectives had to find out the cause of his death.

In 2020, Rina was invited to film in Croatia - she got the role of a flight attendant in the series “Inspired” (Russian adaptation of the American series Mile High). Its heroine is flight attendant Varya, who decided to leave the profession after the plane crashed. The actress's shooting partners were Yulia Margulis, Daria Smirnova, Olga Lukyanenko and other young actresses.

Rina began to be recognized on the streets after the premiere of the fifth season of the TV series “Kitchen,” which was released in the same 2020. At first, her character, receptionist Svetlana Alekseeva, had almost no lines, but in the next season her story was expanded. As soon as the girl was approved for the role, she remembered the existence of her friend, who actually worked as a receptionist at the Marriott Hotel, and asked her about all the intricacies of the work: she asked her for four hours with a voice recorder and a pen in hand.
In 2020, “Kitchen” ended, but the characters so beloved by the audience “moved” to the spin-off of the series, “Hotel Eleon.” New ones also appeared - gorse ones performed by Diana Pozharskaya and Alexandra Kuzenkina.

Rina Grishina also works as a dubbing actress. Her voice can be heard in the films Scouts vs. Zombies, The Vatican Tapes, Paris at Any Cost, World War Z, Seven Psychopaths and many others.
Having agreed to film the next season of Hotel Eleon, the girl starred in Line of Light with Alexander Yatsko. The story of this series went beyond what the young actress had worked on before. She had to reincarnate as 18-year-old Varya, a student of a religious community. She does not know life outside the sect, but when her leader decides to take her as his wife, Varya runs away and finds herself in the real world for the first time.

“I became independent right after school,” says Yulia.
— I worked with children, side by side with Marina Fedunkiv
, with whom we studied at the same institute, but in different courses and even in different faculties.
Then for ten years she taught choreography at the Perm Institute of Culture and Art. I know all the guys from “Real Boys” well - Masha Shekunova
,
Valya Mazunina
,
Anton Bogdanov
and others - they were my students.
—
Which of them is remembered as modest, and which as a rebel?
—
They all loved to joke.
For example, Anton and Vova Selivanov
, seeing me on the street, began to demonstrate some dance steps and were keenly interested in whether they were performing them correctly.
Or they greeted me with the whole course at the entrance before the start of classes and all bowed together, like a curtsy in a classical dance. Bogdanov was always the ringleader, Stas Tlyashev
and Selivanov were polite and attentive guys, Masha and Valya were excellent students.

— How did you end up in “Real Boys”?
“I thought it would be a student’s work, but I never refuse my students.” On the first day of shooting, the director ordered: “Undress and get into bed!” Sergei Ershov was already waiting for me there
. I felt embarrassed: there were my students around. Well, I quickly dived under the blanket and asked Ershov: “Are you my husband?” He nodded. We just had to lie down, eat grapes and drink cognac. But in the end this scene was cut out... Seryozha and I quickly became friends. I also communicate with his wife.
—
Do you have any fans?
—
People recognize me on the street.
They ask: “Are you Lera’s mother? Have you stopped drinking? Every now and then they confuse me with the heroine... I would gladly take part in some other project, but I won’t go to castings myself. But I play in the enterprise play “It’s Time in Pairs” with Anastasia Ploskova
and
Gennady Maslennikov
.
— But is your main place of work still the institute?
- No, I left there. I quit for a number of reasons, not just because they paid me only five thousand rubles a month. Now I am presenting news on Perm TV. I got there by accident. Once I stood during intermission on the street near the theater and talked. A television producer heard my voice and invited me to collaborate.
With son Miron
— How are things going on your personal front?
—
At the age of 20 she got married. My husband saw me dancing and started courting me. Six months later he proposed. I can’t count off the top of my head how long we’ve been together... Since ’94. He's not a romantic to me at all. I give gifts to myself, and I tell my husband: “What a great guy you are!” Our son Myron is eight. In addition to studying at school, he practices piano at home. Doesn't use gadgets. Our dad is an athlete, and Miron goes to training with him. The son says he wants to become an inventor. Our whole house is littered with his construction kits, models of spaceships and airplanes.
— You gave birth to a child after 30...
—
Even when I was young, I always wanted children.
But it didn't work out. I don’t know where Miron came from. ( Laughs
.)

Are you satisfied with everything in life now?
- Quite. I don't like making guesses at all. Whatever fate brings, I perceive everything with interest. I really want to try my hand at drama.

Actress Yulia Grishina: “I am against diets, but for reasonable nutrition”
— Julia, how do you manage to maintain such phenomenal shape?
- Thanks for the compliment. You can keep yourself in shape thanks to a balance of physical activity and reasonable restraint in nutrition. I have developed a number of simple rules for myself: a hearty breakfast, a light dinner, maximum movement.
—Are you on diets? Only honestly!
“I tried to go on diets, but the body, exhausted by diets, will then definitely take revenge with the pounds gained. Therefore, I am against diets, but for reasonable nutrition: if I want to eat, I eat, but I eat only when I want and only as much as I want.
— You do yoga. Is this philosophy or physical education for the body?
— I do power dynamic yoga, so you can say that yoga for me is physical education that helps to work out, strengthen, stretch all the muscles and keep the body in good shape. In addition to good physical activity, it also gives a colossal boost of energy. Perhaps this is her philosophy.
For Yulia Grishina, vacation is associated with a warm country

— Julia, do you have your own special recipe for slimness?
“My recipe is simple: burn more calories than you take in.” Nothing new has been invented.
- You are a busy person. How do you relax?
— For me, vacation is associated with a warm country. In an exotic country, two or three days are enough for me to feel rested and not even afraid of a long flight. In general, I love to travel and discover new places, although I rarely have the opportunity to fly away for a long time.
— Can you pamper yourself with a trip to a SPA resort?
— Once I was pampered and realized that a SPA holiday is not suitable for everyone. I won’t go into details, but literally after a couple of days spent in such a place, my hemoglobin dropped, my blood pressure dropped and my energy disappeared. Therefore, I did not wait for the moment when my body “rebooted” or I got a chronic illness, but went to the nearest restaurant and returned to sports. I don't go to places like this anymore.
—Which type of vacation do you prefer—active or passive?
- Only active. Lying on the beach under an umbrella is not for me.
— How do you take care of your face?
— Daily iron rule: cleansing plus moisturizing.

— Can you afford to leave the house without a drop of makeup?
— In everyday life I practically don’t use makeup. Makeup and spotlights have an adverse effect on the skin, so I try to give it rest. I only wear makeup if I go to auditions or events.
— What perfume do you like?
— To be honest, I can’t stand any smells. I don't use perfume at all.
— What does female beauty mean to you?
- This is an incredible attractive and bewitching force contained in feminine energy. Sometimes you look at an incredibly beautiful girl, but when she starts talking, the beauty suddenly disappears. It happens differently: a girl does not meet the accepted standards of beauty, but there is something so attractive about her that you cannot take your eyes off her: this, for me, is what feminine beauty is all about.
