Liana Nifontova

Lika Nifontova is a Russian theater and film actress, star of the Satyricon theater, and the wife of director Sergei Ursulyak.

The viewers met the talented actress Lika Nifontova after the release of the popular TV series "Liquidation". Then there was a number of rating projects. But it is difficult to call Nifontova a star of Russian cinema - Lika Alekseevna is mostly a theater artist.

Lika (Liana) Nifontova was born in March 1963 in Kazan. The family where the girl grew up moved from place to place more than once or twice. This frequent change of place of residence was dictated by the work of the parents: both worked as theater actors. It is not difficult to guess that her daughter grew up behind the scenes of theaters where dad and mom worked. For the first time Lika appeared on stage when the girl was barely 3 years old.

Today, the actress no longer remembers who she was assigned to play, but the very appearance on the stage and the hundreds of eyes directed at her made an indelible impression. Probably, then little Liana realized that she would grow up and would certainly take the stage.

While the family lived in Tbilisi, Lika Nifontova attended a choreographic school. But soon the family moved again, this time to Rostov-on-Don. There the girl graduated from school. And immediately got ready to go to the capital to enter a theater university. It cannot be said that the parents, who knew the wrong side of the acting profession, were delighted with the choice of their daughter. But they did not interfere.

In 1984, Lika Nifontova graduated from the Boris Shchukin VTU and was accepted into the Satyrikon troupe.

Theatrical biography of Lika Nifontova began in the remarkable period of the formation of "Satyricon", the brainchild of Konstantin Raikin. The director immediately appreciated the skills of the young actress and began to trust Nifontova, first the supporting roles, and then the main ones.

"The Imaginary Sick", "Hercules and the Augean Stables", "What Is Our Life?" - all these performances would certainly have lost a lot if Nifontova had not played in them. Konstantin Raikin trusted her with roles in a wide variety of roles and at the same time was sure that the artist would certainly cope. The most valuable thing in her manner of acting is her amazing truthfulness and deep penetration into the psychological image of her heroines.

Be it Mrs Baker from the play "Such Free Butterflies", Gertrude from "Hamlet" or the lady of the court from "The Naked King" - Lika Nifontova was excellent.

Together with Arkady Raikin, she played in the productions of "Faces", "What is our life?" and Signor Todero is the master. The last performance made Nifontova a celebrity. Theater critics have written reviews of her performance in the most excellent tones. The role of Fortunata turned out to be so bright that it almost overshadowed the main character - Todero himself, played by Raikin.

Lika Nifontova still appears on the stage of the legendary "Satyrikon", being one of the leading artists of the theater. By type, the actress is a fragile woman (Lika Nifontova's height is 163 cm), which does not prevent the actress from playing in a variety of roles. During her career, she has played almost two dozen roles. Today, her repertoire includes 3 characters in The Seagull. The production of "London Show", in which Mrs. Higgins plays Nifontova, is especially popular with theater-goers.

Lika Nifontova's cinematic biography began in 1983. After a small role in the film "To your friends!" a long 10-year break followed. The actress worked only in the theater.

Popularity for Nifontova as a film actress came after the release of wonderful multi-part projects of the actress's husband, Sergei Ursulyak. The first was the sensational series Summer People, where Nifontova played a prominent role.

But the real fame came to the actress after the release of the series "Liquidation", where the actress got the role of Nora, the beloved of the film character Vladimir Mashkov. Immediately after its release, the series became a real hit. All the actors who played in it instantly found themselves at the top of popularity.

The series is filmed in a retro style. The detective's action takes place in the summer of 1946, when exiled Marshal Zhukov arrives in Odessa. During this period, Odessa is a terrible place: thieves, murderers, extortionists, the ruthless Steppenwolf gang robbing military warehouses, the German spy Akademik, who is rumored to be behind organized crime - must save the city from all these troubles criminal investigation.

Successful can be called the work of Nifontova in the paintings of Ursulyak "Poirot's Failure", "Isaev", "Life and Fate" and "Quiet Don". In the last tape, the actress got a small, but bright role - a dressmaker. But even more interesting and brighter was the heroine of Lika Nifontova in the drama "Life and Fate". Here the actress played Lyudmila Shtrum, the wife of the main character of the tape.

Lika Nifontova's first marriage was a student's. The young actress married her colleague Yuri Nifontov. The actress still bears the surname of her first husband today, because the audience, especially theatrical, remembered the artist under the name Lika Nifontova.

In "Satyricon" Nifontova met the actor Sergei Ursulyak. Ironically, Sergei turned out to be a classmate of Yuri Nifontov. In addition, the first wife of Ursulyak, Galina Nadirli, studied with them on the same course. The couple had a daughter, Alexander Ursulyak (today the girl is also a famous actress). But the romance that broke out destroyed two families.

Since 1986, Lika Nifontova's personal life has been associated with Sergei Ursulyak. At first, the lovers just lived together, but then they quietly signed in the capital's registry office, without advertising the ceremony. Both left their comfortable apartments and wandered for a long time in strange corners. At one time they even lived with a family friend, Mikhail Shirvindt. Then, thanks to Raikin, we got a room in a hostel.

Fortunately, today the former spouses communicate and do not hold any grudge against each other. Alexandra Ursulyak, the director's daughter, according to Lika Nifontova, is a full member of the family. The girl is friends with her half-sister, the daughter of Nifontova and Ursulyak - Daria Ursulyak. The director does not move away from his daughter from his first marriage and supports both children.

Nifontova's own daughter also followed in the footsteps of her parents and became an artist. Daria graduated from the Shchukin Theater School and became an actress of the Satyricon Theater, in which Lika Nifontova shines. Daria played Natalia Melekhova in her father's film "Quiet Don".

In 2017, Lika Nifontova got the main role in the new performance of her native "Satyricon". The actress plays Masha in the play "Vania and Sonya and Masha and the Nail" by the American playwright Christopher Durang, directed by the theater's artistic director Konstantin Raikin. The play tells about the Americans, whom literary parents named after the heroes of Chekhov.

In the summer of 2017, the question arose about the filming of the second season of the series "Liquidation", where the actress played the role of the partner of the main character Gotsman. The general producer of the Mars Media film company Ruben Dishdishyan confirmed the intention of the film crew to work on the sequel to the popular detective.

The filming was planned to continue in Odessa, but it turned out that Vladimir Mashkov was included in the Ukrainian "black" lists and was banned from entering the territory of Ukraine. After the producer wrote about it on social networks, offers began to come in to move the shoot. The president of the international festival of motivational films in Rostov, actor and director Oleg Taktarov offered to shoot the second season of "Liquidation" in Rostov and promised his own help and support.

Today the second season is only at the stage of work on the script, and the exact location of filming has not yet been officially determined.

In November 2017, Yuri Grymov's Nesting Dolls on the Roundness of the Earth premiered at the Modern Theater. The plot of the performance is filled with drama and a non-trivial view of life, fate and death. The production is filled with some gloom and anguish, but at the same time it is dedicated to light and noble human feelings.

The production is based on the storylines of three desperate women, tired of life, each of whom, for one reason or another, decided to go to the next world. At the same time, women are not driven by fear of life or a desire to escape from problems - not an independent desire to die. The main characters want to sacrifice their own lives for the sake of those whom they loved and love: one for the sake of their son, the other for the sake of their husband, the third for the sake of their beloved.

People's Artist of Russia Lika Nifontova, as well as Maria Orlova and Nadezhda Menshova played the title roles in the production.

Men in this production played more passing roles. But the performance of the honored artists of Russia Leonid Tregub and Vladimir Levashev, Alexander Gorelov, Denis Ignatov, Viktor Potapeshkin, Alexey Bagdasarov and Shamil Mukhamedov also received a positive assessment from the audience.

The theatergoers appreciated the philosophical meaning of the production, the elaborate costumes and sets, and the authentic images, and the final monologue made a number of spectators cry in the hall.
