Konstantin Raikin - Russian theater and film actor, head of the Moscow theater "Satyricon", founded the Higher School of Performing Arts. In 1992 he received the title of People's Artist of the Russian Federation.

Konstantin was born in Leningrad into the family of the legendary pop artist Arkady Raikin and Rufi Ioffe, his wife, who was also an actress. Kostya has an older sister, Ekaterina. The Raikins' family was very friendly, the children grew up in an atmosphere of love and care, although they did not see their father so often: Arkady Isaakovich spent a lot of time on tour.

Konstantin has always been an artistic nature, but at the same time he showed very tangible successes in the exact sciences. Thanks to this, the boy was admitted to the physics and mathematics boarding school at the Leningrad State University. But after school, the young man nevertheless decided to become an artist and was enrolled in the Boris Shchukin Theater School.

Immediately after graduation, Raikin was personally invited to her own Sovremennik theater by Galina Volchek.

Konstantin served there for 10 years, but when the Theater of Miniatures, in which the artist's father was the director, was transferred to Moscow, the actor moved there and helped Arkady Raikin transform this institution into the legendary theater "Satyricon". Together with his father, the young man played in the performances "His Majesty the Theater" and "Peace to your house", and in 1985 he created the author's program "Come on, artist!" Since 1988, Konstantin has been heading Satyricon as artistic director.

Having gained experience, Konstantin Raikin decided to share his knowledge with the younger generation. Since 2001, the artist began to teach an acting course at the Moscow Art Theater School, in 2012 he founded his own educational institution, the Higher School of Performing Arts. Theatrical school of Konstantin Raikin ". Moreover, both actors and theater managers are trained there, as well as stage performance designers - designers, sound engineers, lighting technicians.

The cinematic biography of the actor began while studying at the school. Konstantin Raikin made his film debut at the age of 19. The young actor played a mischievous high school student in the comedy "Tomorrow, April 3rd ...". Then he appeared in the children's films "The Clown" and "The Kid and Carlson Who Lives on the Roof", as well as in the military drama about submariners "Commander of the Happy Pike".

Raikin gained great popularity after filming the adaptation of the Shakespearean comedy Much Ado About Nothing, which was followed by another significant role - the Tatar Kayun in the historical story "One among strangers, a stranger among friends." It should be noted separately that Konstantin, one of the few stars of the film, performed all the stunts on his own, without the help of stuntmen and stunt doubles.

But the most resounding success awaited Raikin in 1976, when the two-part comedy Truffaldino from Bergamo was released. The picture came out musical, light, cheerful. True, Konstantin did not sing there himself - the actor was "helped" by Mikhail Boyarsky.

But the actor performed incredible dance steps on his own. Other musical films appeared in the artist's career - "The Island of the Lost Ships" and "The Maid of Rouen, nicknamed Pyshka".

Having proved to everyone that his comedic talent is undeniable, Raikin suddenly switched to dramatic roles. In the film adaptation of the play by Yevgeny Schwartz "A Shadow, or Maybe Everything Will Be All Right", the actor played two characters at once - the Scientist and his Shadow, and in the drama "Russian Ragtime" he played the bandit Mahmud.

In 2002, Konstantin Raikin decided on the role of the famous detective Hercule Poirot in the mini-series Poirot's Failure based on the novels of the detective queen Agatha Christie.

For the first time, Konstantin Raikin married Elena Kuritsina, a student at his friend Oleg Tabakov's studio. Young people were together for only three years, after which the union collapsed, and with a loud scandal and a difficult divorce proceedings. Obviously, this was facilitated by the meeting of Constantine with his longtime acquaintance Alagez Salakhova, the daughter of a famous artist. It turns out that Konstantin was in love with her as a teenager. But this family was not happy either.

Raikin found family comfort only by marrying actress Elena Butenko. In 1988, the couple had a daughter, Polina, who chose the same path as her parents and became an actress. Today he plays at the Stanislavsky Theater and regularly takes part in the filming of films.

In January 2017, Konstantin Raikin underwent surgery. The actor was injured - a tendon rupture of the thigh muscle.

But the actor still spent some time under the supervision of doctors in a hospital, and was also forced to undergo rehabilitation rehabilitation.

In February of the same year, Konstantin Raikin had already entered the stage, gave a poetic solo performance "The sky above the booth ..." at the Dmitry Shostakovich Philharmonic. At the same time, the artist spoke sharply about Russia during the performance, which attracted the attention of the press. Konstantin Raikin called the country a “necrophilous state”.

The head of "Satyricon" explained his words by the fact that Russian society begins to love poets only after their death. According to the artist, this approach has already ruined a number of talented individuals.

In November 2017, a new concert by Konstantin Raikin, held in Odessa, attracted the attention of journalists. A group of nationalists, screaming, burst into the V. Vasilko Odessa Academic Ukrainian Music and Drama Theater, where the artist was performing, and disrupted the concert.

The intruders recorded this event on video. The broadcast of the action and the subsequent disruption of Raikin's solo performance was posted on his Facebook page by the ex-head of the Odessa branch of the Right Sector extremist organization (banned in the Russian Federation) Sergey Sternenko. This video also shows that after the nationalists burst into the hall, Konstantin Raikin left the stage, but the audience began to try to return the artist.

After Raikin interrupted the speech, two dozen nationalists remained in the hall, where they voiced their own reasons for disrupting the event, and also began to argue with the outraged spectators. According to the organizers of the disruption of the performance, they were outraged by the artist's statements about Crimea and his approval of the annexation. According to the people who disrupted the concert, this is a sufficient reason not to let the artist perform on any Ukrainian stage. However, earlier in the week, the artist calmly performed solo performances in Kiev and Kharkov.
