Mariya Kulikova

Maria Kulikova is an actress of cinema and theater with the appearance of a cold beauty, as if descended from retro postcards, and a recognizable delicate style. Thanks to the increased attention from the directors of melodramas, her filmography is growing rapidly. There is a fear of being unclaimed in Kulikova, which is why she agrees to play in projects of the same type. But viewers love both these stories and the collective image of a modern woman that Maria embodies.

Maria was born in Moscow in 1977, in an intelligent family. Mom is an engineer, father worked for the State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company, sang in the church choir. My grandmother headed the vocal department of the Gnessin School, and music in the house was given the first place. True, Kulikova never learned to play the piano, which she now regrets.

10-year-old Masha was enrolled in a theater studio after her family was moved from the center of the capital to the outskirts. The area was considered dysfunctional, and the parents tried to protect their daughter from bad influence. And the girl grew up too shy and squeezed. As the artist recalls, Baba Yaga became her first role.

After school, Kulikova decided to enter the law faculty of Moscow State University, since then this profession was prestigious. But, having looked at the courses, I realized that my soul does not lie in this specialty. She passed exams at once in all theatrical universities and admits that by a miracle she was taken to Shchukinskoye, to the course of Yevgeny Knyazev.

Dmitry Ulyanov, Oleg Makarov, Stanislav Duzhnikov were in the same group with Maria. Colleagues have kept the student habit of gathering with the mentor for the old New Year, and in the summer to come to his dacha.

The series "Two Fates" changed not only the career, but also the personal life of the actress. On the set, Maria met her future husband Denis Matrosov. The lovers did not part from the first day they met, they lived for three years in a de facto marriage and were in no hurry to formalize the relationship.

The couple was brought to the registry office by chance: during a joint walk, Kulikova jokingly offered the chosen one to get married. And he agreed. The actress wanted children, despite her insane work schedule. There were even plans to have a baby in reminders on the fridge. And in 2011, Maria gave birth to a son, Ivan.

The boy's parents started building a country house. This future nest seemed to be a guarantee and a sign of a happy life together, but in fact it caused many conflicts in the family.

Denis took the construction to heart, stayed there for a long time and could even rush to lay bricks himself. Maria, on the other hand, saw no reason to spend money and time only on a housing project, she wanted to live more for today and see her beloved husband more often.

In addition, the actors' views on family life did not coincide either. Matrosov said more than once that he dreamed of a quiet keeper of the family hearth and an economic guardian of a new house. The demanded perfectionist Kulikova hardly saw herself as a housewife.

The child brought the family together for a short time. Although on weekdays the stellar parents constantly disappeared on the set, the weekend was devoted to family matters and walks. The couple diligently hid the disagreement from Vanya.

Denis Matrosov and Maria Kulikova

In early 2015, fans were surprised by the news that Matrosov and Kulikova filed for divorce. The reasons for the separation were not reported. At the same time, there were rumors that the marriage was destroyed by Denis's adultery - an affair with Irina Kalinina.

The actor himself claimed that Maria made the decision alone and it was difficult to argue with that. And he filed a lawsuit against the publication that wrote about the "relationship" with Irina. Matrosov is friends with Kalinina and her husband Yevgeny Martynov. And Svetlana Antonova, who advised Kulikova an unprofessional lawyer, is supposedly to blame for stirring up a scandal, including with the division of property. In fact, Denis and Maria parted amicably.

The actress does not forbid her son to communicate with his father, believing that the necessary atmosphere should be maintained between the parents, since the child needs to feel that he has both a mother and a father.

Maria settled not far from the ex-spouse, in a house purchased with a mortgage. The former home went to Denis, who paid his ex-wife the part due by law. Matrosov has created a new family, is raising another son. Kulikova is not yet married, but she is not alone.

There is a lot of gossip around the personal life of a beautiful and popular woman. Maria was credited with a connection with Maxim Averin, with whom she plays together in the series "Sklifosovsky".

But the celebrity herself commented on these rumors, saying that she has been friends with Averin for a long time, for more than 20 years, and they have nothing but sympathy for each other. And at the same time, she admitted that at the first meeting she did not fall in love with a charming colleague just because she was already in a serious relationship.

Also, the actress was credited with another high-profile romance, with Andrei Chernyshov. The artist met the man on the set of the same series where she met Denis, "Two Fates". In an interview, Maria Kulikova joked or said directly that Chernyshov was a friend of the family. With all this, it was with Andrei that she often flirted and exchanged mysterious glances. In 2016, the film "Secrets of the Big House" again brought the already free Kulikova and Chernyshov together on the same site. But since 2008, Andrey's heart belongs to Maria Dobrzhinskaya.

At the beginning of 2018, Maria let slip that she was not considered a single mother for a long time. In her life there is a beloved man who taught her to enjoy every day. With the chosen one, the artist often goes on trips, both in her native land and abroad. A photo of the satellite, which Kulikova took during a trip to Greece, she posted on Instagram.

The actress got an account on the Web at the request of her nephew, who found out that the scammers, using the name of the star, were collecting money, allegedly for charity. There are a lot of fakes even now, and on this page the year of birth of Kulikova is indicated.

The woman manages to stay at her best without unnecessary shocking - you will not find pictures of Mary in a swimsuit or underwear on the Web. An exception was shots from an early melodrama with her participation.

Maria did not name the name of the man who conquered her, but for journalists there is nothing impossible. It was rumored that for the sake of the blonde, Vitaly Kudryavtsev left his son Savely and his wife Serafim Nizovskaya. However, in a conversation with Boris Korchevnikov, host of the show "The Fate of a Man", the star of "Molodezhka" said that Kulikova appeared in the life of her ex-husband two years after the divorce. And Savely goes to visit his father and made friends with Ivan.

Maria is considered the standard of femininity, having wheat hair color and bright blue eyes, which directors appreciate and forbid dyeing. The actress surprises that she does not look her age, while she was engaged in sports (swimming) only in childhood. But she does not recover (Kulikova's weight is 60 kg, height is 174 cm) thanks to intensive filming, daily housework and proper nutrition. In addition, the health of the family is monitored by the elder sister Galina, a doctor by training, who worked in the clinic.

In 2019, Maria had to reassure fans who believed the publications that their favorite was terminally ill. They say that is why she gave her son to Denis to be raised, and does not write anything on Instagram. In reality, the actress was filming in Ukraine at that time, and under the contract it is forbidden to disclose the details of the project.

After graduating from drama school, Maria is invited to the cameo role of Lena Rogozina in the series "Turn of the Key". The actress also starred in Yegor Konchalovsky's detective story "The Recluse", appears in the film "Empire under attack", as well as in the popular TV series "Deadly Force". But until 2002, Kulikova received only small episodic roles.

The series "Two Fates" brought her popularity, in which she played the main role. Note that Maria came to the audition by chance. The actress was invited to another project, but she made the wrong door. The filming of the first part of the series took place in the apartment of Maria's parents. According to her, all relatives are used to walking around the cameras in the evenings, and she herself found it amusing to play her daughter in the film family, without leaving her parental home.

In 2005, she plays in the drama of Tigran Keosayan "Silver Lily of the Valley-2". Also Maria is invited by Alexey Kiryushenko in the sitcom "My Fair Nanny". In 2006, the actress got the main role in the drama series "Sisters by Blood" and in the same year starred in the series "Rails of Happiness" and "It Was in Gavrilovka".

In 2007, the artist did not have less work, she starred in the melodramas She Said Yes and Squirrel in the Wheel.

In 2008, four films with Kulikova were released at once: "Uhnya", "Flight of Fantasy", "Own Truth", "Let me kiss you" and the final, fourth season of the series "Two Fates".

Released in 2009, the picture "Milkmaid from Khatsapetovka 2: A Challenge to Fate" brings the already demanded actress a new wave of stunning popularity. After 2 years, the sequel to Milkmaid was filmed, and then Maria received an invitation to join the cast of the Sklifosovsky series.

Maria's heroine, surgeon Marina Narochinskaya, appeared in the telenovela only in season 2, but surprisingly quickly won the hearts of the audience. An unapproachable beauty, capable of competing with men by her character, ideally complemented the ensemble of the series.

The name of Kulikova is on the lists of the main stars of the project, and in 2020 the 8th season was already released. As the actress herself admits, this role was not easy, as it went against her cheerful and cheerful character. By the way, Maria often took her son Ivan with her to the shooting, who quickly became the favorite of the entire film crew, as he prepared sandwiches for her.

Another popular project in which a woman is involved is the melodrama series Perfume. In it, Maria Kulikova played the main role of Natalia Baranova, the chief technologist of the perfume factory.

The heroine of the actress is ambitious, aims to be the director and dreams of creating her own perfume collection. But at the same time, she is not just a cold careerist - with her leadership, she wants to save her native provincial factory from the capital's rationalist manager who wants to build a supermarket at the production site.

Lyric stars always become partners on the actress's working platform: Vitaly Kudryavtsev in the melodrama Too Beautiful Wife, Sergey Astakhov in Where Love Goes, Alexander Dyachenko in Late Flowers and others. In 2015, fans saw the films "The Theory of Improbability", "Two Plus Two" with the participation of a woman.

The next year also brought 3 films with Kulikova's participation: "Pearls", "Three Roads" and "Looking for a Man".

In 2017, the full-length films "From the first to the last word" and "Secrets of the Big City" were released. In the new series of "Perfumers" Alexander Nikitin appeared as a competitor.

The melodrama "Hotel of Happy Hearts" became a bright page in the creative biography of the actress, where Maria managed to transform into the hostess of the hotel, whose husband mysteriously disappeared while traveling across the African continent. Kulikova's company on the screen was made up of screen stars Elizaveta Kononova, Anna Andrusenko, Andrey Barilo, Yuri Baturin, Yevgeny Miller.

In Ukraine, with the participation of the artist, the project "He who does not sleep" was released. In the film, we are talking about a team of private detectives who successfully solve the most complicated cases.

In 2018, Maria was reincarnated as the main character of the series "Angelina". The village herbalist becomes the only one in the village who can help save the children of her former lover from diphtheria. But after the death of one baby, Angelina is accused of deliberately killing a child. Vitaly Kudryavtsev and Tatiana Kolganova also took part in the film.

Another work by Kulikova is the melodrama "The Day Ahead", in which she gets the image of the wife of a rich man (Sergei Gorobchenko). The heroine of the actress was not always a socialite. Initially, Nina worked as a cleaner in the house of her future spouse, but her pregnancy changed the course of events.

The actress got a dramatic image in the series "Doctor Snail". The main character of the medical series, Kira Ulitina, performed by Maria Kulikova, is a talented obstetrician-gynecologist, on whose operating table a newborn dies. The doctor is forced to leave the capital and go to work in the outback, where local doctors meet her with hostility.

In the fall of 2018, the Domashny TV channel presented the viewers with yet another bright melodrama From Hate to Love with the participation of Kulikova. The actress played a girl who unexpectedly meets the man of her dreams before the wedding. Two rivals were presented on the screen by Maxim Bityukov and Roman Polyansky.

In 2019, her repertoire included roles in the crime film Anatomy of a Murder, in the Ukrainian film The Secret of Mary.

The melodrama "Lydia" is a story about all-consuming motherly love, the selfishness of children and a happy, albeit at first, an accident. Here, Maria has a rare image of a woman surrendering to circumstances. The symbol of rebirth is a passer-by who almost died under the wheels of her car.

The painting "Taxi Driver" is a joint project for Maria, her son Ivan and Vitaly Kudryavtsev. In the center of the plot is a heroine experiencing the death of her husband, discord with her daughter, loss of business and betrayal of friends. But, as it should be according to the rules of the genre, the viewer's finale does not disappoint.

Kulikova's career as a film actress is developing rapidly, but she does not forget about the theater. The star performed on the stage of the Moscow Academic Theater of Satire, playing in the performances "Eight Loving Women", "The Secretary", "Khanuma" and others.

In 2003, Maria Kulikova played in a unique concert version of Eugene Onegin. The project was directed by renowned German conductor Gerd Albrecht. The music for the play was written back in 1936 by Sergei Prokofiev for the production of Alexander Tairov.

In 2011, with the birth of her son, Kulikova wrote a letter of resignation from the Theater of Satire. The management of the theatrical collective advised her not to rush to dismiss, but the artist was so immersed in motherhood that she was adamant. In 2016, Maria began cooperation with the "Independent Theater Project".

In tandem with Ivan Zhidkov, the actress acted as a producer of the play "Be with me" based on the play "Five Evenings" by Alexander Volodin. She wanted to "stir up something bright and interesting, so that there were stationary decorations, not three chairs." Colleagues decided not to arrange a tour, but go to regional centers two or three times a month. In the main roles - Kulikova herself, Valentina Mazunina, Igor Petrenko.

Kulikova's performance is surprising, because every year she is removed more and more. Maria is involved in a dozen paintings at once, while playing the main roles.

The actress does not think of herself in a "big meter" and does not consider work in serials unworthy of the attention of a good performer. In her opinion, any plot should be told with a soul. Over the years, Kulikova's role has not changed - she is still the same loving, understanding, strong supporter of justice.

In the melodrama with elements of the detective story "For Your Happiness," Maria, in the guise of a business woman, plans to expand the business by marrying her daughter's profit. But that one, on the eve of the wedding, has a rival, by coincidence, she disappears without a trace, and the caring mother turns into a murder suspect.

The plot of the film "Love at the Risk of Life" is based on the problems of children. The heroine Kulikova is looking for her daughter. During the search, it turns out that the girl disappeared after meeting with the young major, and the guy's house is covered in blood.

Death in the Lens is also a story about a crime. The actress played a relative of a businessman who was believed to have died in an accident. And only the widow sees what the investigators did not notice. Roles in the film were also given to Evgeny Sidikhin, Maya Gorban and Dmitry Frid.

The dramatic series "The Clinic of Adoption" raises the question that Maria asked in her youth, while still being married to Matrosov. Then the spouses, after the birth of their own child, thought about the adopted one. In addition to Kulikova, Lyubov Tolkalina and Kirill Grebenshchikov are involved in the film. Their characters are intermediaries between childless couples and orphans.
