Irina Shevchuk

Her film career began with the role of Rita Osyanina in Stanislav Rostotsky's film ... The Dawns Here Are Quiet. But few people know that Irina Borisovna Shevchuk was not at all going to become an actress.

Irina was born in October 1951 in Murmansk. Her childhood was spent on the northern outskirts of the city, in the village of Rosta. These were years filled with happiness and romance. The Barents Sea coast, reindeer in sledges, the northern lights and polar nights - the actress still calls this time fabulous today.

In addition to Irina, two more daughters were growing up in the family of a Northern Fleet sailor and an evening school teacher.

When Irina Shevchuk was 11 years old, the family moved to Kiev. At one time, my mother and father taught at school. The daughter grew up as a "correct" girl - a Komsomol member, an activist and an excellent student. Irina "pulled up" the students and conducted "educational work" with classmates. It seems that everything was clear with Irina's future: the path of the schoolgirl lay in teachers.

But, as often happens, chance decided everything. In the 10th grade, the girl accidentally found herself on the set. Irina starred in the film Rezo Chkheidze "Well, Youth". Shevchuk was so carried away by cinema that she could not even think of any other profession. The girl began to prepare for admission to the Kiev Theater University. But a month before admission I heard that People's Artist Vladimir Belokurov was gaining a national course at the Moscow VGIK. The girl went to the capital and entered.

The mentor was against the students acting in films. But Irina Shevchuk incredibly wanted to get back on the set. "On the Sly" the artist starred in the film "The Adventure of the Yellow Suitcase", where she appeared in the role of a nurse. It turned out that the medical form suits the young artist, and a year later Irina was offered to appear in a similar way in the social drama "Second Wind".

The next role, a stellar one, also came to Shevchuk in his student years. The film adaptation of the story "... The Dawns Here Are Quiet" was directed by Stanislav Rostotsky. Withdrawing from the master was tantamount to winning the jackpot. Rostotsky decided to select unknown actors for the picture. Irina Shevchuk, like many classmates, came to audition for the image of Zhenya. The director rather rudely rejected her candidacy. The young artist was offended to tears. But soon the girl was offered another role - Rita Osyanina.

The performers of the main roles of the film - Irina Dolganova, Elena Drapeko, Yekaterina Markova, Olga Ostroumova, led by Andrei Martynov, who played Sergeant Major Vaskov - became the stars of Soviet cinema in the eyes of a grateful audience. Their photos were featured on the pages of the "Soviet Screen". In 1972, together with Olga Ostroumova, Irina was included in the delegation that presented the film at the Venice Film Festival. At 23, Shevchuk for this work has already been awarded the title of Honored Artist of the Ukrainian SSR.

Having received a diploma from VGIK, Irina Borisovna went to Kiev. The girl was admitted to the A. Dovzhenko studio. Soon Irina appeared on the screen in the films "Applicant", "Marina", "Second Wind", "The Right to Love" and "Romashkin Effect". One of the interesting projects of that time was the drama “Men turn gray early” by the Moldovan director Vasily Pascaru, where the main character was played by Mikhail Volontir. Irina got the main female role.

All these films were warmly received by audiences and film critics. But Irina Shevchuk herself singles out for herself the piercing drama "White Bim - Black Ear". The actress got the image of Dasha. And working alongside Vyacheslav Tikhonov brought invaluable experience. Having visited with creative meetings on tour in China, Irina Shevchuk discovered that in the Celestial Empire this film and the war drama about the girl squad caused incredible delight among the public. According to Irina, it was unusual to hear the characters' speech translated into Chinese.

In 1983, Irina Shevchuk returned to Moscow. The actress was invited to the M. Gorky Studio. Here Shevchuk's career continued with the paintings "The Copper Angel" and "The Corral". In the last project, the artist starred with her little daughter Alexandra Afanasyeva-Shevchuk.

In the new century, the actress appeared on the screen often. Irina Borisovna starred in the popular TV series "Healing with Love", "Woman without a Past", "Expert" and "House with a Surprise". In the melodrama "Rare blood type", remembering her youth, she reappeared in the role of a nurse, but this time the elder.

The organizational skills of the actress, which were so clearly manifested at a young age, were useful to Irina in adulthood. In 1974, Shevchuk became a member of the Union of Cinematographers of the USSR. Since the opening of the film festival of the CIS and Baltic countries "Kinoshock" Shevchuk held the post of general director, where Irina Borisovna was invited after her debut in a similar position at the "Sozvezdiye" film festival. Thanks to the actress's enthusiasm and excellent organizational skills, both festivals continue to develop and are regularly held today.

Since 1995, the artist has been a member of the Nika Film Academy. In 2000, Irina Shevchuk was invited to the post of vice-president of the Guild of Russian Cinema Actors.

The beautiful Irina Shevchuk has never had a lack of admirers. A bright, self-confident girl who knows her own worth, and then a woman, was always in the spotlight. But only one romance, which happened before marriage, remained on hearing.

In her student years, the young actress developed a romantic relationship with Talgat Nigmatulin. The actor was older than Irina on the course and other students fell in love with him. Relations between the artists developed rapidly, young people practically did not part with each other. At this time, Irina was just filming a film that made her popular.

After 2 years, Shevchuk put an end to this beautiful novel. The girl realized that two leaders in the same family could not get along. Under Talgat, Irina was supposed to become just the wife and mother of his children; she would have to forget about her film career, which began so brightly. But the ambitious girl, in whom the energy was boiling, did not suit such a fate.

The personal life of Irina Shevchuk settled down with the arranger, composer and musician Alexander Afanasyev. The young people met on the set of the "Comrade Cinema" program, in which Alexander acted as music editor. Young people did not make plans for each other and were just friends for a long time. But at one point they decided to start a family. The wedding took place modestly, in the circle of close friends. At first, Irina and Alexander lived in a rented apartment.

This is a happy marriage of two creative people, in which equality and respect reign today. The couple had a daughter, Sasha. The girl graduated from the faculty of production and economics of VGIK, but went on the acting path. In order to take place in the profession, Alexandra received a second higher education. Today she is already a well-known actress of Russian cinema and is making her way to cinema.

Now the creative biography of the actress is primarily an organizational activity. The last work in the filmography of the actress - the role in the series "Stolen Happiness" - dates back to 2016. With creative evenings and just meetings with the audience, the artist visits the province. In 2018, Irina Borisovna, as a guest, attended the II International Film Festival "17 Moments" named after Vyacheslav Tikhonov, which is held in the actor's homeland in Pavlovsky Posad.
