Yulia Topolnitskaya: biography

Yulia Topolnitskaya is a Russian theater and film actress. She gained fame thanks to her participation in the video “Exhibit” of the Leningrad group.

Yulia Nikolaevna Topolnitskaya was born in St. Petersburg in May 1991. There are no artists in Yulia's family. And the girl herself did not immediately decide to connect her adult life with the acting profession. But the girl grew up with an artistic nature and approached everything creatively. From the age of 12 she studied ballet. But somehow things didn’t work out right away with music. The piano was used by Julia to place toys and funny figurines on the musical instrument. However, the girl also did not consider dancing and ballet as an activity to which she would like to devote her life.

Evangelical Lutheran Church of St. Anne: it’s very atmospheric, the ancient kirk is as old as St. Petersburg. During the reign of the Romanovs, services were held here, during the Soviet years a cinema was organized in the building, and in the 2000s they wanted to make a nightclub. Now the church not only welcomes everyone, but also teaches English, singing, playing the guitar, conducts lectures and excursions. It also hosts classical music concerts, performances by jazz groups, performances and exhibitions.

Griffin Tower in St. Petersburg? Save so you don't lose! ⠀ It is located in the Pharmacists Quarter - this is a block limited by the 7th line of Vasilyevsky Island, Dneprovsky and Academicheskiy lanes. ⠀ The tower has a height of about 11 meters and a diameter of about 2 meters, it has no windows or doors, is covered with a tin roof, and almost all the bricks from which it is built are numbered. The building was erected in the 1730s and there are several legends of its appearance: ⠀ - Doctor Wilhelm Pel, who lived in this quarter and was engaged in pharmacy, in his free time in the tower bred griffins, which he made visible to people, but not to everyone. At night they flew out of their shelter and their reflections could be seen in the windows of the houses, and the residents heard the noise of their huge wings ⠀ - One of the prosaic options - in this place there was a bomb shelter for residents of the houses, and in the tower there was a way out of it ⠀ - Perhaps the most plausible version is that a chemical laboratory was built in the courtyard of Dr. Pel’s house, in which in the evenings he performed all kinds of experiments and practiced alchemy. This mysterious pipe was built for this laboratory ⠀ Legends of the Griffin Tower ⠀ Griffins are mythical winged creatures with the body of a lion, the head of a lion or an eagle. During the day they hide in nests, and at night they fly and strike fear into local residents. ⠀ They say that in his laboratory Dr. Pel created a substance that allows one to obtain gold from mercury. He also found a formula for happiness and fulfillment of desires, which is carefully guarded by these mystical creatures. ⠀ There is a legend that people who settled in the Pharmacists' Quarter had their lives change dramatically. Someone suddenly became rich, someone's career took off, and someone successfully found a family. ⠀ They say that the numbers on the unusual pipe change and at a certain moment they line up into a code of happiness. Whoever is in this courtyard at this moment will definitely have his wish come true. ⠀ ?Here you can make wishes only for yourself and the one who came here with evil intentions will definitely regret it. ⠀ ?7th line of Vasilyevsky Island, building 16

Saint-Germain Garden on Liteiny Prospekt, 46: for a walk in spring. I like the special atmosphere of silence, the fountain, high reliefs with the head of Minerva and satyr masks on the facades of the houses.

Garden of the Derzhavin estate on the Fontanka River Embankment, 118.

Krestovsky Island: embankment on the southern road. Recently they made a very cool embankment; previously there were a huge number of clubs and restaurants there.

300th Anniversary Park: ideal for walking.

Be sure to rent a boat and ride along the rivers and canals. This is my favorite activity in spring and summer; looking at the city from the water is a completely different emotion, be sure to take a ride. Just walk, look around as much as possible! In St. Petersburg there are attractions on every corner.

Clip "Exhibit"

In 2020, Yulia Topolnitskaya decided to try her hand at the last season of the comedy project “Comedy Battle”. Julia came up with jokes and miniatures for the show together with her partner Alexey Shamutilo. The performance of the musical group was immediately appreciated by the audience and jury members. The guys made it to the second round.

Alexey Shamutilo and Yulia Topolnitskaya

Julia woke up famous in January 2020 after the release of a video for the Leningrad group called “Exhibit.” In the first 9 days, this humorous music video received a record 14 million views. From this moment on, Yulia Topolnitskaya is a real star. A turning point has come in the creative biography of the actress.

As the artist said, she immediately went to the casting when she heard about the filming of the video. A significant role for Yulia was played by the fact that her favorite group “Leningrad” and the lead singer of this musical group, Sergei Shnurov, were behind the project. To match the image of the heroine of this short film, Topolnitskaya urgently gained 2 kilograms.

The girl successfully passed the casting, leaving behind 200 applicants. Julia had no idea that this little musical masterpiece would win the hearts of millions of Internet users. Although, according to the actress, she did not doubt for a minute the success of the project, headed by Shnurov himself.

According to the plot of the video, the heroine is going on a date. Naturally, a girl dreams of surprising and impressing a guy with her beauty and fashionable outfit. For a trip to an art gallery, she chooses too-tight jeans, which her mother helps her squeeze into, borrows shoes from a friend, from which she makes the legendary Louboutins, painting the soles with red nail polish.

After the airing of “Exhibit,” some phrases from the song (for example, “on Louboutins and in pants”) instantly turn into aphorisms. True, this happens thanks to swear words, which makes the clip somewhat scandalous, but at the same time does not diminish the success. Sergei Shnurov himself briefly described his masterpiece as follows:

"Russian folk glamor, senseless and merciless."

Anna Parmas was chosen as the director of the video, embodying Shnurov’s ideas, and she did a brilliant job.
