The young man is actively involved in musical activities and composes his own songs. All this came from childhood and if not for his warm environment, we would not have seen unique images on the big screen.

2. Weight – 70 kilograms.
3. Nationality Russian.
4. Zodiac sign – Taurus.
5. Area of ​​activity: music, cinema, theater, directing.

In 1989, on May 17, a new person was born - Yura, Taurus by zodiac sign. He spent his entire childhood and youth in the north of the Russian Federation in Norilsk. The parents of the future star are from Ukraine, with roots going back to Konotop, Sumy region. He was not the only child in the family. Together with their parents and sister, they often visited their grandmother in their homeland in Konotop, Alevtina Ivanovna.

From the early years of his life, Yuri grew up as a creative child; he inherited perfect hearing and voice from his father, which later came in handy for him. Otherwise, he grew up like an ordinary teenager, attended high school, and in his free time studied piano at a music school. He directed all his zeal towards his musical passion, which contributed to the development of his talent. Yura often participated in competitions and took first places. He constantly delighted his loved ones with home concerts, improvised and played four hands with his sister, to the accompaniment of his father's guitar. Guests and friends of the Nikolaenko family remember what wonderful romances they recreated together.

In 2004, he graduated from gymnasium No. 7 and entered a music college, which he graduated at the age of 18. At this point, he was already composing songs, writing music and poetry on his own. The young man decided to connect his life with notes and become a professional composer. To do this, the guy went to Novosibirsk to enter the conservatory, but close people doubted his chances of enrollment. Yuri was accepted for training. As the actor himself stated, the competition for the specialty was 2 people per place out of three available.

A new stage in the life of the young star began, but studying at the conservatory did not please Yuri. During his training, he was unable to get along with his supervisor, which is why conflict situations constantly occurred. The young artist began to doubt his chosen path; he did not see a bright prospect of becoming a composer and a depressive state washed over him. Yuri could not withstand such pressure and decided to radically change his lifestyle and blaze a new path to the future. Perhaps, if he had continued his studies, viewers would not have seen a new promising star on the big screens.

The young man took the documents from the conservatory and set off with his friend to conquer St. Petersburg. They could not find suitable housing in the northern capital and decided to temporarily live in a heated basement. They spent four months like this.

Yuri planned to get a higher education and decided to enter the St. Petersburg Theater Academy. But at that moment the big stage did not attract the young man and did not inspire him. With entrance exams ahead, he submitted documents to the acting and directing department. For the screening and audition at SPBGATI, he memorized poems and folk fables, and also sang Vladimir Vysotsky’s song “Wolf Hunt.” The result amazed the admissions committee, the guy was accepted onto the course. Its leader was People's Artist of Russia Semyon Yakovlevich Spivak.

At the beginning of his studies, he gradually began to get involved in acting, and later he completely fell in love with it. Yuri participated in plays as an actor, and also learned to create productions on his own. During his student life, he managed to stage several well-developed performances. The first of them was presented when he was 24 years old. Among his works one can highlight Dostoevsky’s “Memoirs of an Idiot,” “Bachelors and Bachelorettes,” and “That Which Isn’t There.” To earn a living, the young artist took part in filming, mostly in episodic roles as troubled teenagers and drug addicts. During his studies, he took part in 10 films.

In 2013, Yuri received a diploma from the Academy of Theater Creativity, which included two specialties - directing, theater and film actor. After this, the young man’s full life and the gradual formation of a star began.

From an early age, Yura enjoyed great popularity from the opposite sex. The type of young and charming guy attracted many girls, but none of them managed to melt the heart of the Don Juan.

All fans of Yuri Nikolaenko’s work watched the popular TV series “Street” on the TNT channel. The melodrama tells about the relationships between ordinary people who live around us. Fans of the film watched with alarm the love triangle, which included the district police officer Sokolov (Yuri Nikolaenko), Lena (Kristina Alexandrova) and a married teacher. The beautiful couple in the movies gradually grew into real life behind the scenes. Despite the fact that the actors themselves had a negative attitude towards the speculation, they could not hide the facts from fans.

Photos of Yuri and Christina together on vacation and in everyday life began to appear on social networks. The young stars themselves do not clarify and prefer not to answer questions of a personal nature. Therefore, one can only guess whether she is his girlfriend or just good friends.
