Ustyugov and other biathletes who unexpectedly left the sport. Alexander Ustyugov: “Probably, this is what is called a midlife crisis - the desire to prove that you are still alive Ustyugov left

Two-time Olympic champion Evgeny Ustyugov announced his retirement from biathlon. He is now only 28. When Magdalena Neuner left, the whole biathlon space was seething, putting forward one version of such an early departure of the outlandish another. And she couldn't say much less. In the case of Ustyugov, the Sportbox.ru columnist Yevgeny Slyusarenko was surprised only by the way of leaving, but not by the fact itself. Speaking directly, Evgeny Ustyugov finished biathlon four years ago - after winning in Vancouver. The rest of the years he endured rather than enjoyed.

I must say right away that Ustyugov did great career... There are very few of our people who have won the Olympics more than once. Alexander Tikhonov (four times at four Games from 1968 to 1980), Viktor Mamatov (twice - in 1968 and 1972), Ivan Byakov (twice - in 1972 and 1976), Nikolai Kruglov Sr. (twice in 1976), Anatoly Alyabyev (twice 1980), Dmitry Vasiliev (twice - in 1984 and 1988) and Sergey Chepikov (twice - in 1988 and 1994). If you remove those who won only in relay races, Kruglov Sr., Alyabyev and Chepikov will remain. And if those who did this not within the framework of one Olympics, then it was only Chepikov.

In other words, we, the contemporaries of Evgeny Ustyugov, observed with our own eyes one of the most cool characters in the entire history of our biathlon. This is a mathematical fact. And in response to any o (b) judgment, this character may well use the famous meme "What have you achieved, boy?" And, in general, like no one else will have every right to do so.

Another thing is that Evgeny Ustyugov could have achieved more. Much more. “When we got him, I thought that now Bjoerndalen and all the Norwegians will have serious problems for many years. His last lap is something unique, ”said Vladimir Alikin, head coach of the Russian men's team in 2006-2010. As a result, in addition to two Olympic victories, Ustyugov has two silver medals at the 2011 World Championship and three victories in personal races at the World Cup stages. It's all. He made his World Cup debut quite recently, in January 2009. After some five years, I spent the last race there.

This story, meanwhile, is not only about Ustyugov. This is the story of a whole generation of Russian biathletes - coincidentally, during the leadership of the RBU by the oligarch Mikhail Prokhorov and his team. This is the story of those who grew up on Doshirak and reserved seat cars, and then unexpectedly found themselves in the world of business class flights, team managers with handkerchiefs at the ready and generous prize money when they can pay for success in one race in several places at the same time. This is the story of those who - like all our athletes - were afraid of coaches like fire, and then got the opportunity to resolve all issues directly with top management... One call - and the famous coach turned into nothing decisive subservient.

There is such a famous "decompression sickness" - when a sharp rise from the depth to the surface, divers must take precautions. In biathlon, they did not know the measures, and most of them could not stand the ascent to the top. Well, they couldn't stand it - they just became different.

From some point on, the guys changed a lot, '' Alikin recalled. - We sit at the training camp, before the Olympics - three months. I hear conversations: they are discussing what repairs in the house to do, who to hire and what car to buy. If something is not to their liking, they began to call their superiors. It always took their side. This is the end for the coach.

I understand everything, but we need to stop the practice of solving problems at the top, and not within the team, - even the cautious Nikolai Lopukhov, the head coach of the men's team in 2012–2014, could not resist at the recent coaching council. - I had no leverage over my athletes. The same Evgeny Ustyugov did no more than 70 percent of the work that was needed. And there was nothing I could do about it.

The fact that after Vancouver Ustyugov did not give up the profession to the end, all those involved in the process said - first on the sidelines, then without hiding. The athlete himself denied this, but the results spoke for themselves: not a single personal victory in this four-year period. Most likely, there was simply not enough real purpose. After all, what a thing: when sport becomes only a means to change life for the better, this is a good motivation, but temporary. She leaves quickly.

In this sense, Evgeny Ustyugov acted as honestly as possible. I could have at least another season, without bothering too much, collect payments and grants for the Olympic success of Sochi, and then leave. Many will do so - you'll see. He decided not to participate in this.

It’s a pity that Bjoerndalen and all the Norwegians had problems for so long.

Evgeny SLYUSARENKO

The name of Anna Ozar is associated with the public, first of all, with father Igor Ozar and ex-husband Alexander Ustyugov. Anna is a bright brunette, whose biography is of great interest to the Internet public. Anna Ozar was born on April 11, 1987 in Moscow. The girl grew up in a wealthy family.

Anna's father, Igor Yakovlevich Ozar, - general manager holding "Sukhoi", vice president of the United Aircraft Corporation for military aviation... Since childhood, Anna dreamed of becoming a journalist. She studied at schools in Moscow and England. In 2008 she graduated from the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University. She worked as a journalist for the Izvestia and The Moscow News newspapers, as well as a correspondent for the Rossiya TV channel.

Films

After 8 years of work in journalism, Anna Ozar left the profession. She entered the directing and drama department of VGIK. She studied at the workshop of Denis Rodimin and Vladimir Fenchenko. In 2013 she received a director's diploma. Graduate work Anna Ozar - 30-minute comedy film "Shubaduba in Peonies". The film was played by artists and.

The film tells about filming by city dwellers in a humorous manner rural life... In the center of the plot of the picture is the love of the protagonist, a middle-aged man, and a villager participating in the filming of the film. After the premiere of Shubaduba, Anna said in an interview that she “dreams of making a blockbuster, not soap opera". After the debut of the film "Shubadub in Peonies" Ozar spoke in an interview about plans to shoot a full-length musical "A Drum for a Beaver". But so far nothing has been heard about the project.

Personal life

In 2015, the Network exploded information about the unexpected wedding of Anna Ozar and the audience's favorite, the star of the series "Cop Wars", 38-year-old. The artist is known for his role as Mikhail Tabakov in the TV series "Plague". According to rumors, Anna and Alexander met while working on the painting "Viking". Ustyugov played in the film of Prince Yaropolk of Kiev.

They say that Anna Ozar became the reason for the divorce of Alexander Ustyugov from his first wife. The actress, the first wife of Ustyugov, is a former classmate of the artist at the Shchukin school. The couple got married while studying. In 2007, their daughter Zhenya was born. After Alexander and Yanina parted, the actress returned maiden name.

Alexander Ustyugov and Anna Ozar got married on September 23, 2015. There were no invited guests. Friends found out about the wedding when they saw photos of wedding rings on the hands of the newlyweds on Instagram. After painting, the couple went on a honeymoon trip to France. The newlyweds visited Paris, Rouen, Trouville, Saint-Malo, the island of Mont Saint-Michel.

The marriage of Alexander and Anna did not last even two years. In December 2016, Anna changed Ustyugov's surname to her maiden name on Facebook and removed Alexander from her “friends”. Ustyugov, in turn, changed his status to "free". The actor, according to him, met the new 2017 year in St. Petersburg alone. Often he comes to Moscow for work. His daughter also lives there, whom Ustyugov often visits, as Yanina Sokolovskaya said in an interview.

Alexander, we filmed you in St. Petersburg, where you live, and we communicate in Moscow, where you are shooting. Why did you decide to drop anchor in St. Petersburg?

I like this city. This is probably the most compelling argument. Petersburg is close to me in rhythm, in weather, in people. I have lived in Moscow for fifteen years and have never got used to its rhythm of life, or to the local relations, or to the streets. When asked if I have favorite place in Moscow, I think every time. Moscow for me is like semolina on a plate. You just seem to find a cozy cafe here, remember it so that you can come with your friends later, but a year passes, friends come, you take them there - and there is already a different sign, and not a cafe at all, but some kind of reading room. I'm getting used to places, I need constancy, stability. I have some kind of conservatism mixed with provincialism. ( Smiles.) Therefore, I have been going to the same bar for five years, and when the menu was changed three times and once renovated, I was directly worried, scandalized, said that I would not go anymore. I like to come in and say: "As always to me." I came to St. Petersburg for the first time in 1994, and it was a delight! It was winter, it was chilly, at some point I caught myself thinking that I began to count the number of arches. It was on the verge of insanity - why did I do it? I guess this city somehow balances me, because I wild man by nature.

How is your "wildness" expressed?

I am very impulsive, I cannot think for a long time, I cannot sit in one place. And I constantly whine that there are no days off, and when they fall out, then on the first day I sleep off, on the second I can still lower myself, and on the third day I start looking for something to captivate myself with. Petersburg smoothes it out, it disposes to a philosophical existence, to contemplation, to writing, to music lessons, to drawing lessons. This city has a pacifying effect on me, as if pacifying my temperament.

You don't like to sit in one place, while you get used to one cafe, it's strange.

No internal conflict in this no. I get used to some things, I love old things, old motorcycles, old films. I prefer natural materials in everything: leather, metal, wood ... I don't understand how a motorcycle can be plastic, so all my cars and motorcycles are outside the 70s. The motorcycle should rust, crumple, bend, and then you repair it, straighten it, paint it.

And there are no fewer job offers? It seems to me that if you live in Moscow ...

(Interrupts.) ... This is an illusion. It's mine Subjective opinion but now it doesn't matter where you live. Having moved to St. Petersburg, I continued to act anywhere - in Kiev, Belarus, Crimea, Moscow, and the number of my projects did not decrease.

Do you choose projects deliberately or spontaneously?

Spontaneously. I do what I like, I often make mistakes, but I do not regret it. Because those who are engaged in theater, cinema, music cannot imagine what will turn out in the end. I am frightened by people who are on initial stage say that this will definitely be a hit, it will be a bomb. Because even after the premiere, you cannot give a full assessment of what is happening. It always takes time. And the process is important - it is life in itself.

I do not always watch films or TV shows in which I participated, but if I do, then as a spectator I evaluate whether it worked or not. And it happens that the picture does not go, and I return to it later. Or, for example, a book. I love to re-read books and frantically look for something new in them. You have to read a lot of uninteresting things. But when the book hits you, you find a character that you start to worry about. Pictures, images, costumes, music appear in my head. You stick to it, and it is already a part of you.

You have your own musical group "Ekibastuz". When you decided to make music, remember? Was that also impressed by something?

I do not believe when people say, they say, I was bitten by a dog and since then I am afraid of them. Making music is such a long, sinusoidal path. Naturally, this is from childhood, when no one had computers, but on the other hand, there were rarely people who did not know how to play three chords. When I got a guitar, I ran after my older comrades with it, watched how it was done, took a notebook, tried to sketch some diagrams. Then a school band appeared, in which I played drums. It was rock and roll time! And, not knowing how to play drums, the first thing I did was paint the drumsticks red. They were constantly smeared ... I thought that if the sticks are red, then success is assured. ( He laughs.) And then, while working at the Russian Academic Youth Theater, we had a team with Alexei Veselkin and Andrei Sipin. There was such a play "Rock and Roll", where we played parodies of rock and roll of the 50s and 80s. It was also beautiful: I had a solo on a motorcycle (I pulled the throttle stick to the beat of the melody), Lyosha played bass, Andrey played drums. The motorcycle roared, wheezed, thundered, sparkled, the stage was stinking!

But spectacular!

Yes! And, having already moved to St. Petersburg, where every second is either a guitarist or a drummer, I again decided to take up music.

But not every second person wants fame.

Glory is not an end in itself. In my opinion, in Japanese theater, when an actor reaches popularity, he changes his name and leaves for another theater in another province and starts all over again in order to keep the "bloom", but "whatever the flower, it cannot remain un-fallen." ... This is done in order not to lose skills, so as not to stop. You know, it gives me special pleasure when people first come to a concert and then find out that I am an actor. This is the highest praise. Now they have started to invite me on tour, which I am very happy about. We are going to Alma-Ata, we are called to Estonia. The other day we were approached by the St. Petersburg Symphony Orchestra to record songs with us. Not us to them, but they to us. It's cool that we generate interest. This, of course, is flattering, because it all started frivolously, and then again - and some authorities of music say that “everything is correct”. Therefore, the transition to music is not a complaint, I will stop doing it when it ceases to be interesting to me. What scares me more is that I'm being offered roles similar to the ones I've already played. As a rule, I refuse if the director says: "I want you to play, as you have already played ..."

... Lieutenant Colonel Shilov.

For example. I’m not interested in it, it’s boring, and I’ll rather agree to roles that are further away from me, or to what I haven’t done yet. And it's the same with music ... If I longed for fame in pure form, then I would do what I'm good at, and would not waste time rehearsing. And when you go into musical creativity, it's still such a challenge. And naturally, the first question is: why do artists take up the guitar?

There is such a question!

Why do musicians go to the cinema is also completely incomprehensible to me.

Musicians are not athletes ...

And that's okay, absolutely. For example, Jason Statham is originally an athlete, and it is difficult to assess his acting qualities. He is charismatic, and most balding men are happy that he represents such a role. Statham just chose a slightly different path.

Maybe he just initially chose the wrong path?

It doesn't happen like this! In acting, it never happens that you were doing something wrong. Most of of your life - these are the emotions that you experienced, and you convey them on the screen. So it is in directing. Previously, they did not take directing until a certain age. Why? What can an eighteen-year-old boy talk about? What are his problems? Why should I be interested in what he is talking about? And after working at the factory, he could somehow express his thoughts. Each actor also goes some way, and rarely in an acting biography there is a special school with in-depth study foreign languages... Rarely do people manage to play what they never had.

That is, you do not regret that you entered only the third time?

I don't regret anything at all! I am sure that if I had entered the first time, I probably would never have studied at the drama school, because at that time admission was a super task. And if I had entered the first time, I would have blabbed until the New Year and would have stopped going to the Shchukin Theater School, thinking that everything is natural, too easy and I will not do it.

That is, you are only interested when you have a super task in front of you?

The super task appeared when admission turned into a sport. And when in the end I entered, it turned out that this is not the most difficult thing that there are still four years of study ahead ... And at sixteen I would absolutely not consider myself a student. I would consider myself an entrant and immediately a great artist. I was twenty-four when I entered ...

In general, it is strange that you did it: so late, very few people are hired.

Yes, at twenty-four very few people take, so I had to lie - to reduce the age. But I did not have time for student parties, like the younger comrades. Because I understood that if I didn't learn anything in four years, then it would be too late. I left the theater school at twenty-seven and, already entering the service in the RAMT, I heard that I was old ... Everything happened as it happened, but I have a huge life experience that allows me to feel, experience. Therefore, when they tell me, "How well you play an operative," I reply: "I have two convictions, I don't need to play anything."

From now on, more details! Did you steal something? Motorbike?

I stole a motorcycle in my childhood, but ... I mean that my life in Northern Kazakhstan was in close contact with the district police officers. And I know the work of police officers from the other side. This is not just a story of chases, adventures ... There are personalities, there are people - bad cops and good cops, there are bandits - scoundrels, and there are noble Robin Hoods. And what more interesting person the more controversial it is, the more interesting it is, of course, to play it.

Difficult role - ambiguous role. Playing a bandit, you want to fill him with human qualities. Playing a positive hero, you add to him bad qualities... In the end, when you play a villain, and they tell you what an amazing person he is, you think: everything is correct. The viewer still perceives the character according to his actions.

Do you somehow pass on your experience to your daughter? She's a young actress - she plays on the stage of the RAMT.

I'm not interested in teaching her something, I'm interested in her thinking. And it is impossible to teach something in acting. You need to ask the right questions, which a person will learn to answer. And then he will ask these questions to himself while working on the role. But teaching, showing, for example, how to read a poem is the wrong way. I am forty years old, and Zhenya is nine, and it is important for me that she should feel these lines, let them pass through herself. I look at how she perceives life, I remember myself as a little girl, how I perceived life. Soon, my daughter will rapidly begin to change: from nine to fourteen, there will be a powerful change in mood, thinking, attitude towards everything. And I understand that you cannot pause a child, leave him in this frequency. I am interested in watching her, curious how she perceives everything, how she asks questions.

Is she already asking questions that baffle you?

The most perplexing are the questions to which I do not know the answer. I want to be sincere in my answers. And here the important thing is not what she asks about - the Moon revolves around the Earth or vice versa - but the fact that I have forgotten what revolves around what. Or she asks about some philosophical things. For example, when she was very young, our dog died and I needed to explain it to her correctly ... I don't live with her now, we see each other less often.

But how did you and Yana explain this to her?

They did not explain in any way. It seems to me that she understands everything anyway, children are not like us. At their age, they are already quite developed. She constantly sneers on this topic and criticizes us quite harshly for this. But we certainly have a form educational work... Fairy tales, I tell her fairy tales.

Do you compose yourself?

Naturally. Zhenya asks the subject of fairy tales - this is always a question that worries her. The path of these fairy tales is the same, she sets the situation herself, comes up with the name of the heroine (this is, of course, a girl), her age, sets some kind of surroundings and places this girl in the proposed circumstances. Let's say the girl was naughty to her grandmother ... Initially, the heroine is always good, she just acted badly, and therefore adventures, punishment, dragons and all sorts of "horrors" await her, so that she goes through the path of purification, so that she becomes "good" again.

Do you also write the lyrics and music for the songs that your band performs?

No, I take the lyrics from my friends. I am ashamed to perform my texts so far and do not think that it is necessary. It seems to me that my poetry is so dull that no one needs it. Even when I try to sing my songs with friends, usually no one listens to them to the end. They say: "That's it, good, come on" Chaif ​​"already." ( Smiles.) Therefore, I am a little embarrassed to open these doors: for me it is some kind of emotional outburst, such are the notes in the margins, but for people it is just a song - bad, good, sad.

Sasha, why are your songs sad?

Do not know. Probably because poetry is written when there is time, and this is either in anticipation of something, or on the road ... These lines reflect my well-being, my feeling, my attitude. And this is not really poetry, but something that I write down.

They say that creativity takes drama. This is true? Blues - is it when a good person feels bad?

Probably the need for drama is and is not. There are always things that bring us back to reality. You live, you live, everything is fine, and suddenly your friend dies. And this is exactly the moment that brings you to the ground. Someone needs more drama to be shaken, to start seeing sunsets, sunrises in a different way, just to start seeing them ... In 2014, I tried to conquer Mount Elbrus. And at an altitude of 4200 meters, there is very little oxygen and thoughts slow down, they become such ropes. Moreover, I had no intention to conquer this mountain by all means, I understood the danger, knew that I was not physically ready, and walked with an instructor. And if the instructor said that we were going down, then we went down.

On the day of my ascent alone, twelve people died in front of my eyes. People, like plastic bags, rolled down the mountain, they tried to save them ... And in this lack of oxygen, in this mortal danger, a week later some kind of purification took place. I thought: is it really forever? Because when you go down, people become different for you, the words are different, and the phone, and whatever you touch, it all becomes unimportant. But ... time passes, and you again return to what you left.

And we must go to Elbrus again.

Yes, and you have to bother yourself again. This is the ability to shake oneself, the need to pick this wound in the soul so that it does not heal in order to feel this pain. This is also part of the acting profession.

Sasha, isn't it scary? You have a child, and you risk, like cellophane, rolling down the mountain.

Everything is scary. Riding a motorcycle from St. Petersburg to Moscow when there is a Sapsan is also risky. But sometimes I go in the rain and in the downpour not in order to shorten the distance.

And for what?

This is a journey, this is some kind of philosophical perception of the world, when you look around, see roads, drivers, gas stations, inhale the smells of manure, fields and night. And therefore, when you roll into Moscow at five in the morning, the state is somewhat different. This is also therapy, some kind of finding yourself, touching yourself. And I haven't found yet better way airing the brains. When you drive, you twist your problems, twist them like you wind miles on the gimbal ... As a result, you arrive - and everything is fine. Perhaps this is what is called a midlife crisis - the desire to prove that you are still alive. ( He laughs.)

Or maybe you need to return to yourself because you live other people's lives every day?

Maybe that's why. I haven't dug that deep. Understand correctly, if I do not like to do something, I will not do it. Here are my friends snowboarding. And I'm not going to snowboard or jump with a parachute - I'm not interested in that. For me this downhill descent is every day. At 7:55 am, shift, and at 12:30 pm, you're done. Played - did not play ... Therefore, if I have the opportunity to ride a motorcycle, why should I go in a compartment with a strange snoring man?

What if it will be an unfamiliar pretty girl?

Now the wagons are MF. The romance is gone.

Come on, the romance is over?

The romance continues. Romanticism is not standing with a flower and a guitar under a woman's balcony.

No?!

No. In world literature, a romantic is a hero who opposes himself to society, and not a person kneeling, with a banjo in his hands and in a beret with a feather. In middle age, a man has the same feelings that he had at fourteen, when the whole world was against you. Only at my age, this is not a protest against parents, foundations, school, army and everything else. No, this is already something philosophical. When you have already understood everything for yourself, and you don't want to explain to anyone. ( Smiles.) And you go your own way. That is, if I don't like something, I just turn around and leave.

Why prove? If something can be done, it must be done. Therefore, now these are already some kind of philosophical protests. Yes, I already began to look more like old people with kitchen conversations until six in the morning, which lead to nothing. So what? These disputes will not change anything globally, but they will help you better understand yourself.

Sex secrets of the main stars of the series "Cop Wars"

For 10 years now, the action-packed series "Cop Wars" has been broadcast on NTV with unchanged success. The audience was so fond of following the adventures of the "slaughter" department of the St. Petersburg Criminal Investigation Department under the leadership of the now Lieutenant Colonel Roman Shilov that they watched with interest the eighth season of the project. The shooting of the ninth part is not far off, but for now, at your numerous requests, friends, we will tell you what is happening in the lives of the leading actors.

Bykovsky-Romashov littered the entire pantry with helmets

45-year-old "Major Evgeny Ivanov", or simply "Jackson", usually does not give interviews - he does not see any point in wasting time on this. But for our readers, the colorful actor Dmitry BYKOVSKY-ROMASHOV made an exception.

At the age of 25, I entered the theater. In Voronezh, where my family moved, - the actor smiles. - I was born in Central Asia, then served in the army in Hungary. Brought "from there" half a suitcase of chewing gum and cigarettes. My father was very happy to receive the Marlboro block from me. In the USSR, then there was nothing but seaweed and sweatshirts. "Thank you" to Gorbachev for the collapse big country and the strongest army in the world - I just hate him for that! In my opinion, everything that is happening now in our life, including in Ukraine, is the fault of this person. I am half Ukrainian, half Russian. And there are millions like me. We have one blood, culture, faith. We have always understood each other ...

- Having received an actor's diploma, you immediately moved from Voronezh to St. Petersburg, where do you live now?
- No, first there was Volgograd, then - Lipetsk, and from there I already moved to St. Petersburg. I can say with confidence: this is my favorite city, because it has a soul. That's why I dropped my anchor here. As we got here, I auditioned for the BDT. Have taken. For 11 years I was an artist of this famous troupe, I played good roles... And recently he left. Under Kirill Lavrov, I loved this scene very much, but now everything has changed ... I am friends with Georgy Shtil, the leading figure of the BDT. When I first came to the theater, he became my godfather and taught me a lot. In gratitude, I brought uncle Zhora from my mother from the village a Voronezh moonshine.
- In the capital of the Black Earth Region, you performed chanson in the popular group "Five-Year Plan" ...
- It was a long time ago ... Now I perform on my own. Under the pseudonym Bykov, which I took back in the days of the "Five-Year Plan". Why did you leave the team? I didn't like the material. I am a dramatic actor, and singing only about the zone all the time is not for me.

Lump of happiness

I was invited to play Jackson without audition - noticed the interlocutor.- As soon as the first season came out, I went on tour by train. I was walking out of the dining car, and the police were meeting me. We saw a familiar face, but did not immediately recognize it. And I decided to play a trick on them and rushed to his heels, hearing in my back the cries of "Stop!" and the hiss of walkie-talkies. It was a sinful thing to even think that they would start shooting now, and stopped. But when the guys realized that I was an actor, they smiled: "Why did you run away?" I had to explain that I just wanted to be funny. On the way back they met me with cognac.
- Are you married?
- I have a wonderful wife Natalya, a police lieutenant colonel. We met seven years ago. I immediately told her: "You will be mine!" And she nodded and added: "I give birth to your daughter!" To be honest, I wanted a son, although from my first marriage I have a boy - Yaroslav, he is now 18 and he is a cadet of a military school. In a word, when our daughter Aksinia was born a year and a half ago, my worldview turned upside down. I became much softer and more sentimental, literally trembling over this bundle of happiness. We have such a love! Sometimes a wife is jealous with a smile. And so in our family there is complete mutual understanding. Our union was blessed by a confessor. It's good that Natasha is not an actress for me, and she would never get involved with female colleagues. As soon as I arrived in Voronezh, I was also going to work in the power structures - in the SOBR, but then I did not have Russian citizenship, so I went to study "to be a clown." Agree, two clowns in the family are already a madhouse!

- It's hard to disagree. And the ideal female beauty what do you have?
- I love a Russian woman! These words contain all the best: it was the Russian women who defended Russia. Thanks to them, our people have always won.
- Well, what are you doing yourself in order to correspond to the ideal of a Russian woman - a beauty and a winner?
- (Shrugs his hands.) There is no time to go to the rocking chair. But my wife likes my tummy ... If I have time, I spend it with my princesses - my wife and daughter. Sometimes I even turn off my phone to just drop out of life for a couple of days and be with my family.
- Do you like to cook?
- Still would! Manty, basmach and other oriental dishes are my crown jewels.
- Do you have a hobby?
- Since childhood I have been collecting helmets from the First and Second World Wars. I bought some, gave something. My wife says it's rubbish, but all the exhibits are carefully stored in my closet. I don’t even know where to put them. I was always interested in the history of my grandfathers, great-grandfathers, how they fought, my mother often told me about them.
- Where do you like to rest?
- Only in Russia! I love to hear how roosters and nightingales sing. I go to my mother in the village on vacation. How else? Seas and oceans will wait

Tsurilo brings up Gerda

The 37-year-old actor, who plays Major Pavel Arnautov, is not only the son of the wonderful actor Yuri TSURILO, but also the younger brother of Alexei TSURILO, a former police officer. It is with him that Vsevolod consults, decorating his role in the "Cop wars" with important and vivid details.

On the site, the guys and I constantly make fun of each other, says Tsurilo. - For example, Dima Bykovsky once in the frame fed me a nasty tangerine. In front of the director's team "Motor!" I sprinkled it generously with citrus salt and handed it to me during the scene. I had to eat and not show it, so as not to screw up the take. And once the pyrotechnician got something wrong, no longer on purpose, and suddenly a strong and unexpected jump came around us - we all almost turned gray! Of course, it is unpleasant: you understand, since a person has not finished working, something may happen the next time.
- They say you recently left the Lensovet Theater?
- This is true. It is difficult to constantly ask for time off to shoot, moreover, I felt that I had stopped developing, playing uninteresting roles. Although already under contract he is involved in several performances. The theater does not bring any special money, so I don't think that in the near future I will be constantly working in some troupe.
- Many actors from St. Petersburg move to Moscow, where there is more work. Are you going to follow their example?
- I like Peter better. You can go to work in the capital, but never live there on a permanent basis. I'm uncomfortable in Moscow.

Apartment as a gift

- You are from an acting family, but you yourself did not immediately decide to follow in the footsteps of the famous dad?
- After school I went to the Faculty of Biology. But six months later, I realized that it was not mine, and took the documents. The next year I entered acting, although my father taught me from childhood: you shouldn't rush to become an artist. But when he realized that it was mine, he began to study with me. And everything worked out! I think dad is one of the best masters in our country, and I try to reach his level, listen to advice. My father helped me financially, he bought an apartment. He likes my work in the Cop Wars. Says that it is quite worthy.
- What role do you like as a father?
- In the theater - this is Signor Tomato. All my childhood passed under the play "Cipollino". In the cinema - of course, "Khrustalev, a car!" and "It's hard to be God." Very strong paintings, just brilliant. It would seem that cinema cannot convey smells, but Herman's films convey: you sit in the hall, and there is a feeling of stench, you feel it on a physical level. For an ordinary viewer, this is difficult and uninteresting, but from an artistic point of view - amazing tapes.

- Were you able to create the same strong family as your dad and mom?
- I always dreamed of the same marriage as my parents - in young age married for life. But I didn't succeed on the first try. Now I am married for the second time. My first wife was the actress Marianna Korobeinikova. We have a daughter, Yaroslav, named after Prince Yaroslav. She is 12 years old. The second wife, Elena Birger-Tsurilo, is also an actress. In addition, he works as a music director in a commercial kindergarten... Our son is growing up - eight-year-old Volodya from his wife's first marriage - and two-year-old daughter Gerda. This Scandinavian name was very popular with his wife. By the way, Elena and I met 16 years ago when she was studying at theater university but then nothing came of it. And only years later, fate brought us together again.

- And why did fate divorce you with your first love?
- Not fate, but the parents of my then beloved. I was 14 years old, Yulia - 16. We met at a summer camp. And then I found out that her mother is the headmaster of my school. It became very scary, but what to do, I already fell in love! I walked around and bored, called, but then, apparently, Yulka's parents thought that I was too small for their daughter, and persuaded her not to meet with me again. That’s all over.

Ustyugov left his wife

A year ago, the performer of the role of Lieutenant Colonel Shilov told Express Gazeta what a wonderful relationship he had with his wife, actress Yanina Sokolovskaya, with whom he had been together since his studies at the Shchukin School. And suddenly we learned that they broke up. And for the sake of new lover Alexander even moved from Moscow to St. Petersburg!

We played a wedding with Yana a few years after we met - in 2005, - shared Ustyugov. - Then I was already earning decent money, I was filming a lot, so that not only was I able to pay for the celebration myself, but I also gave my beloved a foreign car.

According to the actor, at first they lived with Yana's parents, and then bought an apartment in the center of Moscow. For this, Alexander had to work tirelessly. (Besides acting, he has a construction business.)
His wife and little daughter Zhenechka, together with Ustyugov, starred in the "Cop Wars".
- The presence of relatives on the site is very pleasant. We play a family in the cinema, - Sasha told us a year ago.
But, alas, the seemingly successful marriage has cracked. 37-year-old Alexander fell in love with a charming girl from St. Petersburg and bought an apartment there to start new life.
- He filmed in St. Petersburg for so long that it was very easy for him to move, - they say surrounded by stars. - True, while Sasha is connected with Moscow by the RAMT - Youth Theater. WITH new woman they are inseparable. Head over heels in love. But they are not yet ready to advertise the relationship, do not even call him: Sasha and Yana have not yet finally resolved the issue.
We contacted Yanina Sokolovskaya.
- I don’t want to touch on the topic of my husband! - snapped the actress. - And ask about everything else. Daughter? I went to first grade. In the summer, we together rested in "Ethno-world", in the city of Borovsk. Both were delighted! More questions? Goodbye.

New Year"Lieutenant Colonel Shilov" met with a bottle of whiskey.

"Lieutenant Colonel Shilov" celebrated the New Year with a bottle of whiskey

Actor Alexander Ustyugov now literally does not leave the screens. Two high-profile film premieres with his participation - "Panfilov's 28" and "Viking", had just died down, and throughout the winter holidays the NTV channel repeated the best episodes of the "Cop Wars" (in this criminal TV epic Ustyugov played the head of the "murder" department, Roman Shilov). Meanwhile, in the personal life of a popular artist, an important event: Alexander broke up with his next wife.

In the fall of 2014, Express Gazeta reported major changes in life Ustyugov... Alexander broke up with his wife Yanina Sokolovskaya, with which he was together since the time of study at the Shchukin school. The couple played together on the stage of the Russian Youth Theater and, together with their daughter Zhenya, starred in the “Cop Wars”. But the idyll collapsed like a house of cards. Alexander left the theater and moved from Moscow to St. Petersburg, and Yanina and Zhenya disappeared from the popular series.

Discord in acting family happened because of Ustyugov's adultery with a charming brunette Anna Ozar, daughter of the general director of the Sukhoi aviation holding Igor Ozar... A graduate of the journalism faculty of Moscow State University, Anya worked for some time as a correspondent for the Russia TV channel in Spain, and then mastered the profession of a director and screenwriter.

Once Alexander invited a girl to shoot a video for him musical group“Ekibastuz” (he also sings well, and named his musical group after the city in Kazakhstan, where he was born and raised). On the set, this romance began, and in September 2015, the lovers went to the registry office. Inspired by Eros, Anya immediately began to subscribe to the surname of the chosen one in all social networks and flooded her friends with romantic photos from honeymoon trip across France.

Surrounded by the couple, they were sure that the daughters of the newlyweds from the previous relationship - Zhenya and Kira (this is the name of Anina's 7-year-old girl) will soon have a brother or sister. However, instead of this, alarm bells began to reach Express Gazette. Among the many fans of Ustyugov, rumors spread that in his young family, to put it mildly, not everything was going smoothly.

And at the end of last year, it was discovered that Anna, who recently did not hide her happiness, cleaned up social networks. She returned her maiden name, removed all joint photos with Alexander and even excluded him from her friends.

Ustyugov's page also looked dull: he again regained the status of "free", and in fresh pictures on right hand the actor was no longer observed wedding ring... Particularly inquisitive fans of Sasha suggested that he could return to his first wife and daughter. But in our conversation with Yanina Sokolovskaya, it turned out that this is not so.

But I don’t feel like an abandoned woman raising my daughter alone, ”Yanina admitted. - Despite the fact that Sasha moved from Moscow to St. Petersburg, he often sees Zhenya. She looks a lot like dad. She goes in for dancing, goes to the theater studio and takes vocals. In addition, my daughter made her debut on the stage of the RAMT. A new year holidays we spent at home - together with my parents and fellow neighbors. So everything is fine with us.

But Ustyugov, as it turned out, celebrated the New Year in splendid isolation:

On December 31, I had a job in Moscow, after which I jumped on the train and went to Petersburg, home. There he opened a bottle of whiskey, turned on the TV, very quietly and calmly greeted 2017. The next day I woke up quite late, because for the first time I didn't have to run anywhere. I had a good night's sleep! I even turned off my phone so that no one would bother me.

- Did you really drink whiskey alone? - I was surprised . - But what about the beautiful wife?

Oh, let's not talk about it, - Alexander sighed. - I was alone and had a great time.

So that such a gorgeous man listened to Vladimir Vladimirovich alone under the Christmas tree with a bottle of whiskey! Do you believe, dear readers? Me not!

I will keep you updated.

COUNT!

Ustyugov is fond of boxing, photography and motorcycles. In his youth, he drove a Java, and now he allows himself to order expensive bikes from the United States. The actor also drives long distances on his "iron horses". Once I hit the road from Moscow to the Crimea and back, winding up 5 thousand km as a result.

Where did Jackson disappear to?

Rumors that Major Evgeny Ivanov, or simply "Jackson", will no longer appear in the "Cop Wars" have been wandering around the web for a long time. It was rumored that a colorful 47-year-old actor Dmitry Bykovsky-Romashov fell out of the cage due to a stroke - allegedly he had some problems with speech, and the doctors recommended not to overload himself with work.

Why did I leave the Cop Wars? - either tired, or simply in a sad voice, Dmitry asked when we phoned him with questions. - Just tired. The directors change endlessly, the script has become uninteresting. In short, I filmed in half of the tenth season and decided it was time to end this story. I would like other projects. In the meantime, I enjoy communicating with my family - I spent all the holidays with my wife and children.

KNOW OURS!

Same name - Russian hero

Popular actor is often confused with skier Sergey Ustyugov and ask if they are brothers. We answer: not brothers, although Alexander's namesake is no less outstanding person. This season, 24-year-old Sergei is tearing everyone up. In early January, he became the winner of the prestigious Tour de Ski race and set a tournament record - he won five races in a row! Olympic champion Sochi Alexander Legkov compared the success of Ustyugov with the feat of the Russian hero.

A native of the village of Mezhdurechensky, Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug, in 2013 he became the bronze medalist of the World Championship in the relay. He has a girlfriend Elena Soboleva, which is also part of the Russian national team in cross-country skiing... By the way, at the end of the season, common acquaintances of the two Ustyugovs promised to arrange a personal meeting for them.
