Sergei left the Ural dumplings. The strange death of the director of the Ural dumplings

Sergey Netievsky is a talented humorist and a person who has invested a lot of effort in the development and formation of the show "Ural dumplings". Moreover, thanks to his efforts, the team went beyond the gates of KVN and became federal. And after Sergei took over as director, he was able to conclude a long-term contract with STS for filming and showing performances.

First version

Netievsky had to leave the Pelmeni team due to the fact that "his own shirt is closer." Sergei realized that his own well-being is much more important than the team's money. Therefore, he simply left the project, leaving his friends “in free swimming”.

Sergey switched to producing television series and other projects, so he did not want to waste his personal time on the show - there is no interest, there is no such profit.

This is the version that was voiced by some of the participants in the Ural Pelmeni, but Sergey Aleksandrovich himself does not agree with it. Sergei told a completely different story, radically different from the first. In support of his version, it can be noted that he is backed up by two years of litigation.

Second version

According to this version, presented to the public by Sergey himself, at first he did not know at all that he had left the project. Yes, yes, it happens. As it turned out, the team members had long looked askance at a friend who held the post of director. Most of the team was sure that Sergey not only poorly paid their work and work, but also took all the money for himself. There were also claims that Sergey began to spend too much time in other projects, abandoning his own show.

After some time, the team simply got together and wrote a class action lawsuit, in which there was a request to remove the director of the UE from their position. Naturally, no one warned Netievsky about this / But Sergey, having learned about this, filed documents for an appeal, and it was accepted in 2016. Then the team filed another lawsuit, and Netievsky filed a counter one.

After the courts passed, Sergei was nevertheless reinstated in the director's position, and the class action lawsuit was declared illegal. But why then did Sergei leave? Nothing surprising - after all the events it would be difficult to simply forget sideways glances and a class action lawsuit, and the old Ural friendship was gone. Therefore, Sergey handed over the affairs to Isaev and wrote a letter of resignation at his own request.

Where is Sergey now and what is he doing?

On this moment former director comedy show everyone also lives in golden dome with his family. Sergey owns his production studio Idea Fix Media. The main activity of the studio is the production of television series.

February 28 visiting the hosts of the show Week & Star Alexander Generozov and Lena Rodak visited one of the most funny people on the planet, a popular TV presenter, actor, screenwriter, and also an ex-member of the Ural Pelmeni KVN team - Sergei Netievsky.

Missed Sunday's Week & Star? Read the interview with Sergey and you will find out the most interesting details from the professional and personal life of the artist!

Sasha: Brutal Ural guys, with a surprisingly strong and in a good way funny show "Ural Pelmeni"! Perhaps everyone who watches TV at least sometimes knows them. Charismatic, positive and funny, not a single nutritionist will object to such dumplings! When one of the show's creators announced his departure from the team last year, we were blown away! How? Where? For what? Friends, today Sergei Netievsky himself, a man who has invested a considerable part of himself in the show, one of its founders, will tell you what he is doing now, what he is going to do, and is one dumpling on a big plate boring! Hello, Sergey! For half a year you are in solitary swimming ... Or not in solitary? Tell us who you work with!

Sergei Netievsky: In single, solo swimming. As a producer, I implement new projects that I have long dreamed of implementing, but did not have enough time. Of course, "dumplings" took up most of the working time. This is a wonderful project, but there comes a time when you want to do something of your own, realize your dreams, otherwise there will be people who will do them faster, for you.

Lena: Screenwriter, producer, artist - who are you now to a greater extent?

Sergei Netievsky: Yes, I'm somehow different guises, nothing is alien. Of course, the producer's role probably prevails a little, because I know and understand how to turn a team into a television project that can be broadcast.

Sasha: Parting after two decades of working side by side. Was it hard for you?

Sergei Netievsky: You are always moving forward. You look at what awaits you ahead, it is always with anticipation. Live off the nostalgia that was somewhere, sometime in the past. You need to go forward, and when you plunge into this wave, into a new whirlpool, new adrenaline, new sensations. The new projects that I'm currently doing with my production, they really fascinate me.

Sasha: What are the projects?

Sergei Netievsky: We are launching the League of Improvisations, this is the first all-Russian festival. We unite all groups that are engaged in the genre of improvisation. This is a new movement, we have been moving it for three years together with Sasha Fur in our “Show from the Air”. The show on TNT appeared with the same name. This indicates that the direction is popular.

Lena: We prepare a certificate for all guests. That's what we got for you, Sergey. Listen.

Sasha: Sergei was born on the banks of Tagil, studied at the Ural Polytechnic University, was even the director of a store - and where is the humor here, you ask? And there was always humor, you just had to get into KVN, and then it started! Rise to the big leagues, the title of "the last champions of the 20th century", TV shows, tours - a great way! Since 2015, in solo projects, Sergey is also a screenwriter, TV presenter and producer. "Seasons of Love", "Freaks", "Unreal Story" - these are just some of the projects with his participation! Yes, indeed - an unrealistic story!

Sergei Netievsky: There were a lot, yes.

Lena: Sergey, you have an engineering degree in an absolutely humanitarian field. Is it really universal education?

Sergei Netievsky: You can say that I work in my specialty. My specialty is mechanical engineering. So here is the technology, it is actually the same in the production of the show, the same stages. Everything is divided into small stages, you have to divide difficult tasks into easy ways and quietly go progressively from one to another in order to achieve a result.

Lena: How did you get into KVN? University team?

Sergei Netievsky: Yes, of course, the university team. It was a long time ago, 1994, they started playing in KVN, got into the big leagues and off they went. This is in the past, now I'm more interested in the projects that I do, starting from that huge background that I had as a student, when I was doing KVN, when we were doing shows. Now I want to do something new, the world is moving.

Sasha: Comedians, as a rule, dream of the role of Hamlet, of drama. Do you want to take a swing at something unfunny, sad?

Sergei Netievsky: I really want to. I really want to play something not humorous. I go to directing courses and acting classes. Of course, there is such a distant, deep, I hope, achievable dream, to play some dramatic role.

Sasha: Sergey, the name seems to be understandable, “League of Improvisations”, that is, there are absolutely no frames at all?

Sergei Netievsky: You could say almost none. We have several engines, several improvisational forms in which we will play. We are now collecting applications from all interested teams, there are not so many of them, we know almost all of them. About 20 teams that are professionally engaged. If we do not know someone, we are happy to invite everyone, go to the site ligaimpro.ru, register, send your applications.

Lena: What are the requirements for an application?

Sergei Netievsky: The name of the group, a brief summary of where you participate and, preferably, send at least some video so that we can see how the guys behave on stage. Then we select, invite here. We will have three days: April 8, 9 and 10 at the Central House of Artists. There will be qualifying games, and master classes, and trainings, and brainstorming sessions, and the generation of new ideas. We have an interesting, extensive program there.

Lena: Will there be a winner and what awaits him?

Sergei Netievsky: Yes, there will be a winner. Title and money are usually of interest to everyone. April 10 will be a gala concert, which will include the best teams, and they will compete for the title of the best improvisational team.

Sasha: Sasha Fur is with you in this project. So, there is also a musical part?

Sergei Netievsky: We are currently negotiating with Sasha Pushnoy, there is an idea to make musical improvisation inside there as well. What are we doing? We have complete improvisation: improvisation with a partner, with text, with space, with music, with the stage, with the audience. In all directions you try to liberate your brain. This is very interesting direction why we are trying to promote it.

Lena: How interesting is it to the viewer?

Sergei Netievsky: Here is the moment: not everyone will reach the gala concert, but only those who can create some kind of whole story for a short time on stage so that it can be understood by the audience. This is interesting to watch. This is an entertaining and humorous project.

Lena: For those who can't watch it live, will there be a TV version?

Sergei Netievsky: We will shoot a pilot, which we will give to the TV channel. We really hope this turns out to be a show.

Lena: Blitz time on Europe Plus. short question- short answer.

The three greatest comedians of all times and peoples according to Sergei Netievsky?

Sergei Netievsky: Petrosyan, Galustyan, Martirosyan.

Favorite cuisine, dish. What can you cook yourself?

Sergei Netievsky: Dumplings. I can cook them with different fillings.

Is it true that people who professionally make others laugh are gloomy misanthropes in everyday life?

Sergei Netievsky: Well no, of course not. It's like the law of conservation of energy... Really!

Who is your main critic? Whose opinion do you trust?

Sergei Netievsky: Parents.

Is it true that speaking at a corporate party is more exhausting than any other?

Sergei Netievsky: Of course of course. They suck all the energy out of you, all the strength.

Are you a superstitious person?

Sergei Netievsky: Probably not.

Is swearing or euphemism normal?

Sergei Netievsky: I think yes.

What do you consider your main weakness?

Sergei Netievsky: Laziness.

Are you afraid to fly? Were you afraid before?

Sergei Netievsky: No, but I haven't skydived yet.

What programs do you watch on TV?

Sergei Netievsky: I watch TV very little. I watch a lot of foreign serials and programs. From the humorous sometimes I look: Urgant, comedy club, KVN, news.

Would you support moving the capital of Russia to the center of the country, say, to the Urals?

Sergei Netievsky: It would be unexpected. The air is cleaner there.

Favorite hour of the day?

Sergei Netievsky: An hour before bed.

Were you betrayed? Can it be forgiven or forgotten?

Sergei Netievsky: It was when I was betrayed, but I'm not vindictive. I quickly cool down and forgive. I approach this very philosophically. Everyone has the right to make a mistake and has the right to correct it.

Was there a nickname in childhood and has it still remained?

Sergei Netievsky: Yes, they were different. Now there is none left. As a student, my name was Basyan or Basya, this is from the village where I come from. Basyanovsky village.

In front of you is a time machine, where will you go?

Sergei Netievsky: Oh. Immediately the thought arose to go into the past, to correct some mistakes. Looking into the future is more interesting.

Sasha: Sergey, humor is a changeable substance, for example, I see two opposite trends: anecdotes have practically disappeared, but stand-up has become one of the most relevant genres. What happened to jokes? Why is standup growing so much?

Sergei Netievsky: I guess every humor has its time. There were anecdotes when there were many prohibitions, some kind of allegory was needed. Now, in principle, there is no particular censorship, you can talk about anything you like. A stand-up artist is a person who passes through himself and gives the viewer information, his attitude to the topic he is talking about.

Lena: Sergey, let's say a guy or a girl is a great joke, the soul of the company. What's next? Do you need to get into the big media in any way - TV, radio? Or maybe a good video channel, say on Youtube, is enough?

Sergei Netievsky: There are so many opportunities on the internet right now. You can make a clip at home at minimal cost and put it on the Internet. In principle, you can unwind through the Internet.

Sasha: KVN has always been a good starting point, how are things now?

Sergei Netievsky: Similar. It is still a forge of personnel. Those who come out of there, they are all in demand.

Sasha: Sergey, you also have a project called Theater Games. You took it seriously dramatic art Or is it primarily a game?

Sergei Netievsky: We are launching the casting of STEM bands. These are groups that, as it happened, did not go to KVN and did not go to Comedy. Student theater of variety miniatures, but they are not that student, they have turned into mini-studios, theater groups, mini-theatres. There are a lot of them in the country. About 15 festivals exist in the country where such teams compete. We want to collect them. Teams that have something to show can send their applications to stemshow.fxmedia.ru. The first round - we select based on the video. Second, we help refine the materials they have. About 20 teams will be invited to Moscow, where shooting and elimination games will be held.

Sasha: And what kind of "Show from the air" then?

Sergei Netievsky:"Show from the Air" is an improvisational show from which it all began, from which the "League of Improvisations" was born. This is what we did with Sasha Fur, and we are going to do in the future, together with the 05 theater, this is our team from St. Petersburg, the best improvisers today. “Show from the Air” is a concert version, but we filmed a pilot and show it to TV channels.

Lena: Series on TV. Will you continue this experience?

Sergei Netievsky: I like to move towards the show, something that I understand more about how to do. Series... There are mega-professionals, guys on TNT - such a high bar.

Fans of the humorous show of the team from Yekaterinburg are interested in why Sergei Netievsky left the Ural dumplings. This man put a lot of his energy into the development of the show, bringing the KVN team to the federal level, became a producer and director, it was thanks to him that Ural Pelmeni signed a long-term contract with channel STS and became popular. Today we will talk about the reason for leaving, the result of such a separation, and about where Sergey Netievsky from Ural Pelmeni is now and what he does. From the same article, fans of "dumplings" will be able to learn everything about personal life, the beginning creative way and Netievsky's career. We suggest starting from the beginning.

Sergey Netievsky from "Ural dumplings": biography

Sergey Alexandrovich is very talented person, he is an actor, screenwriter, TV presenter, former leader and member of the Ural dumplings team, general producer Idea Fix Media. In addition to career achievements, he has success in his personal life: he has a beloved and loving wife adorable kids. What else is needed for life? sincere and faithful friends, which "colleagues in the shop" could not become, because this is precisely the answer to the question of why Sergei Netievsky left the "Ural dumplings". But more on that later, now we offer to get acquainted with the childhood of the ex-director of the team.

Sergei Alexandrovich was born in 1971, the actor was born and raised in Sverdlovsk region, his native land is the village of Basyanovsky, in the Verkhnesaldinsky district. Here Netievsky spent his golden childhood and youth received his secondary education in regular school at number 12.

After receiving the certificate, Sergei Alexandrovich went to Yekaterinburg and became a student at the Ural Polytechnic Institute. Teaching was easy, and there were never any problems, the teachers appreciated such a disciplined and purposeful student. In 1993, Netievsky proudly began to be called a specialist in the development of mechanical engineering.

Is there life after college?

The worst thing for every student is to leave the walls of his native university and go wherever his eyes look. Where is he expected? Will it help in such a dangerous and adventurous adult, independent living diploma? Netievsky, as such, did not fit too well, the guy went to work in a hardware store called "The Owner", in Yekaterinburg. Certainly, higher education contributed to the fact that the graduate of the institute was immediately accepted for the position of director, but still this work differed from mechanical engineering in many ways. In addition, in 1994, the Ural dumplings and Sergey Netievsky met.

The popularity of the Kaveen team grew, tours and concerts became more frequent, the director of the "Boss" had to face a choice: a store or a club for the cheerful and resourceful. Sergey Alexandrovich was distinguished by his artistic nature, and she told him that he would have a great future, success and fame in the show, so Netievsky chose the team.

KVN

Sergey Netievsky, whose work is appreciated by almost every Russian, with a team in literally went through fire and water and copper pipes before gaining coveted popularity. The start for "Ural dumplings" was in 1995, when the team got into a gala concert and became one of the Higher League of KVN following the results of the festival. What stages did the Yekaterinburg guys have to go through?

1. Falling out of 1/8 in 1995.
2. Lost in 1/4 in 1996.
3. They finish the season again in the 1/8 finals in 1997.
4. In 1998, they reached the semi-finals, but "Children of Lieutenant Schmidt" turned out to be more fun and resourceful. It was in this year that Sergei Netievsky closed the doors of the "Owner" forever and became the team leader.
5. In 2000, Pelmeni decided to overcome all the difficulties, to overcome the enemy, and they succeeded. Netievsky led his guys to the long-awaited victory, and they received the unofficial, but still the title of "the last champion of the millennium and the twentieth century."
6. In 2001, 2002, 2003 the team competed for the KVN Summer Cup and took it in 2002.

Netievsky's personal achievement in this period is his film debut as an actor. He starred in the comedy "Out of native square meters."

TNT

In 2007, Sergei Netievsky was invited by the leadership of a popular TV channel to the position of presenter and producer. A new sketch show for TNT called "Show News" became popular, and almost the entire creative team"Dumplings". It was a good start for the team.

STS and "Ural dumplings"

In 2009, the first show on STS called "Blaze it all ... with a horse!" appeared on the screens. To date, more than fifty such programs have been filmed.

In 2011, the sketch show "Unreal Stories" was released, produced by Netievsky, who also played the role of a lazy tramp.

In 2012, "MyasorUpka" appears (competition project). Sergey Alexandrovich was a producer, jury member and mentor of the teams.

In 2013, the Kremlin Palace received a huge number of fans of the "Ural dumplings" at anniversary concert"20 years in the test!".

In 2014, the "Show from the Air" starts, which is produced and hosted by Netievsky.

In 2015, Sergey disappeared from the screens, and his team continues on its way as if nothing had happened, Isaev Sergey became the new leader. Why did Sergei Netievsky leave the Ural dumplings? Where is he now? Find out more about this in the rest of this post.

Version one

Sergei Netievsky left the "Ural dumplings", as he decided that his well-being is more important to him than the whole team. He left the guys to the mercy of fate, they say, do what you want, and I can do without you. He decided to start producing television series and other projects on his own, so as not to waste time on a show that he was no longer interested in. This was the first version that was voiced by some participants in the UP, but Sergey Alexandrovich completely disagrees with this, he told a different story, and it is more plausible, as it is confirmed by a two-year trial.

Real version

Sergei Netievsky left the "Ural dumplings" without knowing it. It happens. It turns out that the participants looked askance at their director for a long time, believing that he does not pay them enough for their work, and he also spends too much time on other projects, forgetting about UP. Because of this, the team got together and filed a class action lawsuit to remove the director from office, of course, Netievsky himself was simply not warned about this. Sergei Alexandrovich filed an appeal, which was accepted in 2016, but the team filed a new lawsuit. Netievsky did not lose his head and filed a counterclaim.

After all the trials, Sergei was reinstated, as the teams were considered illegal. Why did Sergei Netievsky leave Ural Pelmeni after this court decision? He transferred the rights to leadership to Isaev, as he understood that there could no longer be a "strong Ural friendship", and decided to quit of his own free will.

In February of this year, the team members lost a lawsuit for four hundred million rubles, in which Netievsky was accused of using their trademark. Now the team must pay Sergei a fine of three hundred thousand rubles.

Where is Sergey Netievsky from Ural Pelmeni now?

Now the ex-director of the popular show also lives in Moscow with his family. He owns the production studio Idea Fix Media, which produces television series.

Beloved wife Natalya is always there, the couple has three wonderful Timothy and Ivan, daughter Maria.

Sergei Netievsky did not rule out his return to the "Ural dumplings".

The dispute between the "Ural dumplings" and their director (or not the director - here the versions of the parties differ) Sergey Netievsky has become one of the hottest topics recent months. After several decades of coexistence, the parties went to court to sort out their relationship.

Lawyers made loud statements. For example, a representative of "Dumplings" accused Netievsky that he did not actually work, and in response he received an accusation that Sergei Isaev actually captured the show.

The first instance has already put an end to one of the disputes - the Sverdlovsk arbitration decided that Sergei Netievsky should be reinstated as director of the Ural dumplings. But this is only the first instance and it is possible that its decision will be appealed.

Tomorrow, the Arbitration Court will continue proceedings on another lawsuit: Ural Pelmeni demand that First Hand Media (owned by Sergei Netievsky) return the rights to the show's trademark. We talked with Sergei Netievsky and listened to his version of what is happening.

- Your lawyers said that last summer some kind of conflict arose in the "Ural dumplings". What was the reason for it? class="_">

– Indeed, we had different opinions about where to move the show. I think every project should be updated. Since 2009, as a producer who brought the show "Ural dumplings" to STS, I have been constantly involved in the formation and updating of the project: graphics, scenery, shooting techniques, editing, etc., to make it relevant and modern.

A loud conflict in the "Ural dumplings" flared up more than 20 years after the creation of the team.

I had different proposals for the "Dumplings" development. For example, for everyone to do their own project, or to do a project with young comedians, who, for starters, should be included in our show, shoot a documentary and feature films. But the guys did not accept these ideas, and we had creative and organizational differences.

- Can you decipher what you call "creative differences"? class="_">

– We have always discussed development issues with the whole team. As a result, we decided to take a break, tried to discuss our differences, and in the spring I learned about the first lawsuits.

- Sergei Isaev, when they announced the break in relations with you in the fall, he stressed that you were very busy with your projects in Moscow. class="_">

- I really have projects that I have long dreamed of realizing. And during this pause, I began to make them more active. But I have always been involved in both "Ural dumplings" and my own projects.

- I was told that the disagreements were not only creative, but also financial. class="_">

- Of course, where there is television creativity, there is also finance.

- Do you know Alexei Lyutikov, who runs the Ural Pelmeni Production company? class="_">

- Yes, familiar. He joined me at First Hand Media in 2014 as an executive producer. And I entrusted him with the production of the show "Ural dumplings", taught and showed how and what to do, shared the secrets and experience of creating the show, which had been accumulated over five years. He was with the company until the fall of 2015. But then we had disagreements with him, because I was not satisfied with the quality of his work on the creation of a new project "Fathers and These".

- They say that it was Alexei Lyutikov who became the starting mechanism of the conflict. Allegedly, he persuaded Sergei Isaev and other members of the team to produce a show without you. This is true? class="_">

- It is clear that for 20 years we have had a lot of disputes in the team. And Alexey Lyutikov could theoretically amplify these differences and offer himself as a new producer of the show "Ural dumplings". Moreover, he learned from the inside how the show is made.

- This coming Thursday, the Moscow arbitration will consider the suit of "Ural dumplings" against your company First Hand Media: they demand to take away the trademark of the show from you. As far as I understand, there is a text trademark, and there is a graphic one. class="_">

– You are legally savvy. Indeed, there is a text, and there is a graphic trademark. In 2015, the lawyers and management of the companies producing the show (First Hand Media and Idea Fix Media) initiated a technical procedure for combining marks.

Sergey Isaev (on the left in the photo) is now actually in charge of the Ural dumplings, but the de jure director is Sergey Netievsky.

The fact is that since 2012, it was the graphic logo "Ural dumplings" developed by First Hand Media that was used on television broadcasts and at concerts. And it was not protected in any way, it was not registered with Rospatent. The production company combined these two signs to remove the risks in relation to the channel and to other partners.

- There is an opinion that when you left Pelmeni, you simply took away the trademark at the same time. class="_">

“People might think so. But we do not use this sign in any way, we do not prevent the team from doing shows and touring. Most importantly, as soon as a trademark dispute arose, First Hand Media was ready to transfer this trademark to the team. We offered this several times to both the representatives of the team and the team itself. But they don't want to take the sign! Instead, they sue.

– When did First Hand Media register it? class="_">

- I'm afraid to make a mistake, it was in November last year.

- Are you ready to transfer for free or for some kind of financial compensation? class="_">

“First Hand Media is ready to transfer it for free.

- Previously, the team's lawyers said that the trademark "Ural dumplings" is worth 400 million rubles. class="_">

- This figure is taken from the ceiling. It is not clear what this report is based on. As far as I know, there was a meeting Russian Society appraisers", which admitted that the report referred to by the team's lawyers was made with significant violations. I think that on July 14 the court will sort this out.

Interestingly, Yulia Mikhalkova is not among the co-owners of the Ural dumplings.

- Why did you decide to demand to be reinstated as director if your relationship is still on pause? class="_">

– To resolve disagreements that have arisen. There are legal issues: if people break up, then you need to do it in a civilized way.

- You have been with Pelmeny since 1994, and since 1998 you have been the team director. It is clear that the team has been updated during this time. But now you are outside the project. Is this story closed for you? class="_">

- No, the question is open. We have disputes, but this does not mean that we are enemies-enemies. It happens that time passes and disputes go aside.

- It seems to me that it is difficult to return back after litigation. class="_">

– As they say in the East, a glued vessel flows in a thin stream... But in this life, anything is possible.

- After leaving the Ural dumplings, did you watch the new episodes of the show? class="_">

– To be honest, not all of them. To some extent, the show has become different from what we did before. But the project is popular, people are watching it, and I wish the guys success so that Pelmeni will continue to develop.

- For First Hand Media, how significant was the project from a financial point of view? class="_">

I won't say in percentage terms. essential. But we were engaged and are engaged not only in "Dumplings". For example, we made a mini-series "Seasons of Love" for the TV channel "Domashny", we are preparing to produce a full-length comedy "March 9", we are actively developing the project "League of Improvisations".

- I understand that in September the "League of Improvisations" will be held in Yekaterinburg. What is the point of this show? Why should it take off? class="_">

- We want to bring together all the teams that are engaged in improvisation in Yekaterinburg. Conduct workshops and trainings for them. And as a result, the best will become participants in the gala concert and will be invited to Moscow in October to shoot.

The League of Improvisations is a short-form theatrical improvisation competition. We take the themes of the games from the audience, set the rules of the game and make humorous numbers. This is complete improvisation. And, as in any competition, teams get marks. In addition to the Ural teams, the winners of the Improvisation League 2015 will come, and there will be a real battle.

– Will this show appear on any of the TV channels? class="_">

- We are currently negotiating with several channels. We think it will be an hour show. It's perfect new project for our TV. There is a feeling that this project should succeed.

P.S. The site always does its best to reflect the opinions of all parties in the publications. If Sergey Isaev, with whom we have previously communicated many times, agrees to comment on the situation, then we will be happy to provide him with the most visited site in Yekaterinburg.

A faithful wife, a caring mother and a desperate housewife ... Such Stefania-Maryana Gurskaya was remembered by all fans of the Ural dumplings. IN popular show the girl was a serious competition to all comedians. But this was not enough for Stephanie-Maryana, and now she decided to conquer a new peak - from January 9, the actress can be seen on TNT in the series "Civil Marriage".

FROM "Dumplings" I GONE TO ANYWHERE

- Stefania-Maryana ... How do you like Stefania or Maryana more?

I understand that two names are not very common in Russia. Of course, it is correct to apply full name: Stefania-Maryana. But friends and relatives call me differently. Some call me Maryana, others Stefa. I like both names.

- How did it happen that everyone has one, and you have two names at once?

I was born in Ukraine on Saint Stephen's Day and when I was baptized, they named me Stephanie according to the Catholic calendar. And mom and dad decided to give a name on their own and called Maryana.

Stefania-Maryana, you devoted two years to the Ural dumplings. And why did you suddenly decide to leave there when the show is at the peak of its popularity?

For six months I dreamed of starring in the series. To be honest, from the "dumplings" I went nowhere. There were suggestions that I quarreled with the team ... But I just left because I realized that this was the ceiling. I can't jump any higher in the show. It was a bold move for me, but I believed in myself. As they say: you need to get rid of something old in order for something new to come. "Ural dumplings" is a very high start, but you always need to move and develop further. And it so happened that two weeks after leaving, an agent called me and invited me to audition for the series “Civil Marriage” on TNT. And I got approved right away!

- It means that you good actress. But vocational education you do not have…

Indeed, I don't have acting education. To be honest, I'm not going to go to school. I am sure that the best experience a person receives directly during work. There are many beautiful and talented actors without education. What matters is what you can and can do. And 150 professional actresses auditioned for my role in the series!

ON DATES HERSELF INVITED

- Your character in the series is different from those married ladies who had to play before?

My Anya does not develop relationships with men at all. She herself steers the process, calls for dates. By the way, I was the same until I met my young man Sergei.

- That is, you also had to invite on dates?

Yes. If I liked the boy, then I looked after him. Of course, she didn’t give flowers (laughs), but she did various surprises. One boy, for example, had breakfast on the roof (laughs). Then I met Serezha. We played with him in KVN. At first they were just friends, and then they started dating. He was the first to take care of me. But everything was mutual.

The series focuses on the relationship between a man and a woman. And before that, you still had a whole team consisting of successful men. I'm talking about Pelmeni. Sergei jealous?

My Seryozha himself is successful! He is very clever man and talented architect. He designed the airport in Perm, bars in Yekaterinburg. Why should he be jealous of the success of other men? The only thing Serezha joked was that he dislikes scenes with Brekotkin when we played spouses (laughs) But I miss our numbers with Dima. And if it will be necessary to play with Brekotkin again, then I am in favor with both hands!

- Looking at how convincingly you played a wise wife, it's hard to believe that you are only 25 ...

It really pisses me off (laughs). But I understand why this happens. After all, I worked in a team where all the participants are 20-25 years older than me! Just imagine! And I played their wives there. Of course, people will perceive me as older. But on TNT, I finally played the heroine of my age. Hooray!

- Have you tried to bring our Ural flavor into the image of your heroine?

Everyone heard my Ural dialect and immediately asked where I was from. In Moscow, because of the series "Real Boys", everyone immediately thinks that I am from Perm, since I say so. When my agent Leroy and I just met and had not yet started working, the first thing she said was that we needed to cut the conversation. But I didn't do it, to be honest. Then time passed, and somehow I was invited to shoot one project. There, everyone was delighted with the way I speak and told me not to take my accent away for anything. In general, now this is my chip.

ALWAYS DO WHAT YOU WANT

An amazing coincidence. On December 19, when there was a pre-premiere show in Moscow, it was 4 years since Serezha and I were together. And January 9, the day of the premiere, is my birthday. Double holiday. For the second year in a row I plan to throw a noisy party, but the day before I decide that I don’t want anything like that. And just spend time with my loved ones. You must always do what you want. Especially on your birthday. If I want to lie in front of the telly all day, I will!

- Do you plan to move to Moscow?

I will definitely move. My young man and I want to develop. And Moscow is an excellent platform for this. There is room to grow and move. The only thing is that there is no urgent need to move yet, we will settle all matters in Yekaterinburg and move quietly.

Watch the series "Civil Marriage" from Monday to Thursday at 20:00 on TNT
