Oleg Menshikov

Oleg Menshikov embodied such famous personalities as Sergei Yesenin and Vaslav Nijinsky, Caligula and Robespierre on the stage. He is filmed only where he likes, his filmography is considered to be an indicator of quality - there are no passing films here. For Vanessa Redgrave, the actor is the diamond of Russian cinema, and for Swiss advertisers, the most elegant and intelligent Russian.

Biography of Oleg Evgenievich began in Serpukhov near Moscow on November 8, 1960. Soon after the birth of a son, the family moved to the capital. At the age of 5, his parents - a military engineer and a doctor - sent the boy to a music school to study violin. Menshikov also mastered the piano and guitar and at the same time managed to play a soccer ball with friends in the yard.

Oleg's acting talent was noticed in the 9th grade. At the wedding of the daughter of an employee of the Maly Theater, the guy, to the surprise of all the guests, became a human orchestra: he played musical instruments, improvised and recited. Among the guests was Shchepkinsky's teacher Vladimir Monakhov. Soon Menshikov received an invitation to audition, passed the exams brilliantly and got on the course of the rector of the school Nikolai Afonin.

The extraordinarily gifted student enjoyed increased attention. Until now, the school remembers with admiration the skits that Oleg organized. It was a delightful fusion of subtle humor, brilliant improvisation and high artistry.

After graduating from high school, the aspiring artist got into the troupe of the capital's Maly Theater. A year later, Menshikov was called upon to serve his military service, but not far away - to the Theater of the Soviet Army. One of the most notable works of this period is the role of Ivolgin in the production of The Idiot.

For four years Oleg served at the Yermolova Drama Theater, delighting the audience by playing in the performances "Speak!" and Second Year of Freedom. And in 1995, he organized the Teatralnoe obshestvo 814, one of the first entrepreneurial companies not only in Moscow, but also in Russia. Menshikov became the main director of most of the productions, the most famous of which are Griboyedov's Woe from Wit, Kurochkin's Kitchen and The Players.

In April 2012, Oleg Menshikov was appointed the artistic director of Ermolovsky. First of all, he carried out a "revision" of the repertoire and the troupe and was very dissatisfied with the results. Menshikov parted ways with 24 out of 28 performances and with some actors, including his longtime colleague from Pokrovskie Vorota, Tatyana Dogileva.

Oleg explained this revolutionary spirit by the fact that he wanted to return the viewer to the audience. As a result, the sale of tickets through the Internet began, the attendance rose to 94%, not to mention the solution of the troupe's everyday problems.

New innovations have appeared: in "Cinema on Stage" the actors read scripts of popular films to the public, in "Plus One" two famous people interview each other and answer questions from the audience. In addition, Menshikov does not prohibit theater actors from acting in films.

In 1980, the actor made his debut on the movie screen in the drama "I Wait and Hope", 2 years later he got his starring role of Kostik in the comedy "Pokrovskie Vorota". Increased popularity and participation in the films "Family" by Nikita Mikhalkov and the tape "Flights in Dreams and in Reality" by Roman Balayan, "Moonzund", "My Favorite Clown", "Along the Main Street with an Orchestra."

Since the 90s, Menshikov has already carefully selected both the proposed roles and the directors. And as a result - a picture with his participation, if not a masterpiece, then a loud event: "Burnt by the Sun", "Prisoner of the Caucasus", "Siberian Barber", "Mama".

Oleg's work in the TV series The Golden Calf, the next adaptation of the famous novel, in the film Doctor Zhivago based on the book by Boris Pasternak, and State Counselor based on the works of Boris Akunin became noticeable. Another brilliant project - "Legend No. 17", in which he happened to appear in the role of the legendary hockey coach Anatoly Tarasov in his youth.

In 2017, Fyodor Bondarchuk's fantastic action movie "Attraction" was released. At the presentation, the director called it a great success that the scrupulous Menshikov agreed to play in this motion picture.

In May 2018, the theater director launched the Oleg Menshikov's channel on Youtube, where he talks to celebrities. The author set the task to build a full-fledged dialogue with the guest, and not a monologue of the latter, which is often found on similar shows. Filming takes place on the stage of the Yermolova Theater in the presence of spectators.

No one has access to the actor's personal life, which was the reason for the rumors about his orientation. According to director Yuri Mamin, on the set of The Golden Calf, Oleg began a relationship with Nikita Tatarenkov, who Menshikov insisted on inviting him to the series.

The tabloid press attributed the movie star novels with fellow student Victoria Sorokina and colleague at the Theater. Mossovet Margarita Shubina. The first left for England, and the reasons for breaking up with the second remained a secret, but it was rumored that both were very upset about parting.

Later it became known that Oleg's chosen one is a young actress Anastasia Chernova. The acquaintance took place at a concert of Mikhail Zhvanetsky on February 14. Since then, Valentine's Day is celebrated by the couple annually. There are no children in the family yet. Spouses often gather a small circle of friends at home, where real fun with stories and jokes takes place. The actor said that meeting his wife is the main event in his life.

Chernov is 23 years younger than her husband, but this difference is not felt. Menshikov is still fit (with a height of 174 cm and weighs 75 kg), always with a light tan, full of energy and charm. He organized a football team in the theater, but he gave up playing for health reasons - doctors advised to take care of his knees.

Nevertheless, the actor did not give up on the tennis court, as evidenced by the photos published on the fan community page on Instagram. In the case of the celebrity's appearance, it was not without gossip: allegedly before filming "The Barber of Siberia" Oleg underwent plastic surgery in order to play a young hero at 38 years old.

In the circle of interests of Menshikov was at one time a game of chance - poker. But he realized in time that going to the casino would not lead to any good, and stopped.

In the summer of 2019, Oleg was admitted to intensive care. What happened to the actor was not specified, but some media outlets wrote that the man went over with alcohol. The Yermolovsky administration issued a denial, allegedly it was a planned examination, and a couple of days later the director resumed his work in the theater.

After another break in the cinema, Oleg returned to the image of an investigator in the mystical project "Gogol". The actor agreed to this role, first of all, out of a premonition that the picture “I will scold”, because this is not a serious study of the work of the famous writer, but a humorous fantasy.

The latter also serves in the theater directed by Menshikov.
