Mariya Smolnikova

Maria Smolnikova is a young Russian actress, known to the audience for the films Stalingrad and Daughter. She has a surprisingly clean look, as if you see a girl from the last century, it seems that today such people cannot be found. The actress is actively acting in films and regularly appears on the theater stage. Both viewers and film critics note that in any role Maria feels organic and does not seem to play, but lives the lives of her heroines.

Maria was born in Sverdlovsk (now Yekaterinburg). There was a famous ancestor in her family - the painter Nikolai Kachinsky. His works are exhibited at the Tretyakov Gallery. Maria also has the makings of an artist, sometimes she gladly picks up a pencil and makes sketches.

In the family, Masha was not the only child, her older sister grew up with her. Love and understanding reigned in the house, parents instilled in girls a love of art, while they were passionate fans of the theater.

An experimental gymnasium with a theatrical bias, where Masha studied, was found by her mother. She led her into these walls, which predicted the future fate of the girl. The gymnasium was located in a small room, a former kindergarten. It had a special approach to students, they drew a lot, listened to music, studied painting and the history of world culture.

Everyone lived as one big family, the parents of the students often visited the school and knew all the teachers and students. A creative and magical atmosphere reigned there. Today this educational institution no longer exists; a cafe has opened in its place. Maria recalls the years spent in it with warmth and sadness.

Masha speaks with restraint about her school successes in learning traditional sciences, claiming that she did not shine in her studies and even had a "C" in Russian. Despite her creativity, she loved mathematics, but made mistakes due to inattention.

The first role that the girl performed on the stage of the theater studio was a crocodile. Teachers were taught to reproduce the intangible on the stage, to peer at animals, and then, as it were, to reincarnate in them. In addition to the stage, Smolnikova was fond of ballroom dancing.

For graduation from school, the team prepared a musical performance "West Side Story", in which Masha got one of the main roles. After this production, she had no doubts - to enter only the theater.

Maria arrived at GITIS, on the course of Sergey Zhenovach, went through three rounds, and then flew off. I had to return to Yekaterinburg and get a job at my native gymnasium as an after-school teacher.

Next year, the girl tried to enter everywhere: in all Moscow and St. Petersburg universities. She was not accepted anywhere, not even taken to the Yekaterinburg theater. I had to submit documents to the school of culture, which was 2.5 hours away from her home.

After a couple of months, having dropped out of school, she went to Nizhny Novgorod, to visit friends whom she knew from Yekaterinburg. They worked in the Youth Theater, and Masha got a job as an actress. Over the next six months, she played in two children's and one adult performances.

I must say that her parents supported her in all endeavors and believed in her lucky star.

At the end of the season, Maria again went to enter Moscow, at GITIS, for an experimental acting and scenography course, where actors, set designers, and directors studied together. Such a set was the first in GITIS. It was real luck for the girl.

During her studies, Smolnikova became the best on the course. She got the opportunity to study at the university so hard that she devoted all her strength and inspiration to her studies, diligently gaining experience that would help her in her further work.

She got a job with a course teacher Dmitry Krymov at his "School of Dramatic Art", where she plays to this day. Krymov is a popular theater director, teacher and artist, the son of Anatoly Efros. She likes the atmosphere of this theater, the actress feels at home there.

The main role in the film "Daughter" became her first serious work in the cinema, for which the actress was awarded several film awards in the nomination "Best Actress".

Her second star work was the role of Katya in the film "Stalingrad". This is a tape with a billion-dollar budget, which made Smolnikova recognizable. On the set, the actress at first was terribly shy about such a popular director - Fyodor Bondarchuk. And then working with him and with the film crew began to seem like sheer pleasure.

A year later, another tape with her participation was released - “Kuprin. In the dark. " In 2016, the actress starred in the second part of the Dark Side of the Moon series. In the same year, Anna Matison's film After You, starring Sergei Bezrukov, was released worldwide. Maria Smolnikova, Vladimir Menshov, Alena Babenko and other popular Russian actors also took part in the filming. In Russia, its premiere took place in March 2017.

The next year, Maria received several proposals for filming at once. She appeared in the drama series "Father's Coast" and the detective tape "Sparta". And the actress also loves to appear in short films. The most famous short films with her participation are Melisende, Fyodor's Journey through Moscow at the beginning of the XXI century, and Pure Look.

Every year, films with Smolnikova are increasingly released on screens, her filmography is constantly replenished, but the actress is not chasing quantity. For Maria, the main thing is creativity, not career. It was for this that she came to the profession.

The actress does not forget about the theater. In 2016, Maria won the Golden Mask award in the Best Actress nomination. She was awarded for her role as Lyudmila in Dmitry Krymov's play “Oh. Late Love "at the School of Dramatic Art.

In the fall of 2017, the actress played Larisa Ogudalova in the play "Dowry". The plot is based on the work of Ostrovsky, but Krymov portrayed both the main character and the society around her in a rather unusual way. In his work, Larisa looks more like a confused clown, who is not adapted to life among ghouls and the living dead.

And in April 2018, Krymov staged a play for the first time on the stage of the Theater of Nations. She presented to the audience a production based on the works of Ivan Turgenev "Mu-mu" and "Notes of a Hunter", but at the same time, like all his previous plays, it is absolutely unique. The main role in it went to Maria - she played Mu-mu. In the play by Dmitry Krymov, Mu-mu is not Mu-mu at all, but the girl Masha, who is studying at a theater school. The actress brilliantly coped with the role, and it is not easy for her. After all, she had to play a child. But both the audience and the theater critics noted that already in the first minutes of the performance you see not her, but a real child. This transformation is so strong. And she does not fall out of the role for a second.

And this is not her first "magic" reincarnation on the stage of the theater. For example, she played no less talented grandfather Lenin in Dmitry Krymov's play "Gorki-10".

Masha's first love happened in kindergarten. The boy's name was Denis, and he treated Masha to sweets. These were childhood feelings, but the memories of them have been preserved in the girl's soul to this day.

Her husband's name is the same as her first childhood love, Denis Koperov is an actor. Maria does not talk too much about her personal life, the family for her is sacred and intimate.

According to the girl, Maria Smolnikova is happy with her husband, there is complete mutual understanding between them and they support each other in everything. The couple have no children yet.

On her wedding anniversary, the husband gave Maria an old antique diamond ring, which she never takes off.

Smolnikova is an active user of social networks. She regularly updates Instagram and VKontakte with new photos.

In 2018, three works will be released at once with the participation of Maria. In May, the TV series “Gurzuf” starts on Channel One, where, by the way, Maria will again work with Pyotr Fedorov. Together they have already starred in the film "Stalingrad". The plot of "Gurzuf" takes place in 1965 on the southern coast of Crimea. The viewer will again be able to watch Rodion Stotsky, whom they have already fallen in love with on the TV movie "City". Maria got one of the main roles, she played Alina Morozova.

The premiere of the film "Kilimanjara" is scheduled for the summer of 2018. Pavel Priluchny, Maxim Vitorgan and Irina Starshenbaum became Maria's colleagues on the set.

Also in production is the drama series "Playing with Fire". Here Smolnikova was lucky to work with Igor Petrenko and Sergei Peregudov.
