Stanislav Duzhnikov

Stanislav Duzhnikov is an unusual actor who certainly does not correspond to the image of a movie star that has formed in the public consciousness. He does not fit the type of a courageous superhero, but looks more like a guy from the next yard, there are hundreds around.

The artist does not possess either a Hollywood smile or a piercing look, but it was this “home” image that helped him gain popularity and fall in love with millions of viewers throughout the CIS.

Stanislav Mikhailovich Duzhnikov was born on May 17, 1973 in Saransk, the capital of the Republic of Mordovia. The boy grew up in a family of doctors: his mother was a pediatrician, and his father was a surgeon. The actor said that as a child he felt completely happy: he could go to pick mushrooms in the forest, walk in the fresh air and enjoy freedom. Cloudless memories were spoiled only by the fact that Stas's parents divorced when he was still a teenager.

From the 7th grade, Stanislav lived in the village of Staroe Shaigovo, where his grandmother was involved in his upbringing. Under the supervision of Anastasia Fedorovna, the guy learned to cook and perform household tasks. Upon arrival at his new place of residence, Duzhnikov was almost immediately involved in the school theater group, but not as an actor, but as a labor force. After some time, the teenager was asked to play the role of stepmother in the play "Cinderella". The scene captivated Duzhnikov so much that since then he has fired up the idea of ​​becoming a professional actor.

At first, Stanislav tried to enter the Kazan Institute of Culture. However, the young man was not lucky, since that year they were recruiting a target course for the Kazan Drama Theater. In order to pass the competition, it was necessary to know the Tatar language, which the future actor had never studied. Duzhnikov had to return home, where he easily entered the Saransk School of Culture, the faculty of directing.

A year later, Stas realized that in Mordovia for him there were no prospects and scope for creativity. Opportunities began 400 km north, in Moscow, and Duzhnikov dropped out, packed up and headed to the capital.

Stanislav's goal was the Shchukin Theater School, where it was very difficult to break through. The acting biography of the public's favorite began hard. In his youth, the Honored Artist of Russia had to live in poverty, relying only on his own strength. The incredible household ingenuity of the young man helped a lot during that period. Duzhnikov rented a room in the capital in exchange for help with the housework. Despite everything, he established himself in the capital and still managed to send money to his parents.

Having received several refusals from the admissions committee of the Shchukin School, Stanislav entered the Moscow Institute of Contemporary Art, but did not abandon an attempt to get into the desired university. From the 4th time on, the teachers of "Pike" discerned the gift of acting in the stubborn entrant. Then Duzhnikov fell under the wing of actor Yevgeny Knyazev and graduated in 1998. Stas's student neighbors were the future stars Maria Kulikova and Dmitry Ulyanov.

Some Internet sources call Stanislav's first wife Ramila Sabitova, and they do not provide any more information other than that the woman is a doctor by education. There are no comments on this from Duzhnikov himself.

The actor met Christina Babushkina at a friend's birthday party. Young people did not immediately begin to communicate, but a year and a half after they met, serious feelings flared up between them. Soon, the lovers got married, and in 2007 a daughter was born. The couple worked in the same theater for a long time, so they seemed like an exemplary acting family. However, in 2010, Christina and Stas broke up.

According to former spouses, the passion has passed. However, the actors managed to maintain friendly relations, and they bring up their daughter Ustinya together. Leaving, Duzhnikov left his wife an apartment on Taganka, which Oleg Tabakov helped to acquire.

Stanislav's current companion is called Katerina Volga. The woman is a florist and designer, the owner of her own luxurious salon on Patriarch's Ponds. According to rumors, the actor made a proposal to his beloved, but it has not yet come to the wedding. Stas did not share other details of his personal life with the press.

By the fall of 2016, the actor had lost a lot of weight. According to various media reports, he dropped from 40 to 60 kg. Today, with a height of 191 cm, Stanislav Duzhnikov's weight is about 90 kg. The man told the press that the secret of his weight loss lies in sports and a balanced diet. Stas believes that healthy food can be tasty, prefers to eat varied and not follow a specific diet, but still counts the calories of each dish and checks the balance of proteins, fats and carbohydrates.

As indicated on the artist's official website, Duzhnikov is present on VKontakte, Facebook, Odnoklassniki, and Stas even has 2 pages on Instagram. True, the photos on the second do not illustrate the life and work of the actor, but are published as "an act of service to art." The account demonstrates the talent of Stanislav as a photo artist.

Immediately after graduation, Stanislav entered the Nikolai Gogol Theater, where from 1998 to 2000 he played secondary roles in several performances. Duzhnikov reincarnated as a lawyer Zelko in the play "Let's Fly to Milan", by Andrei Likhutin in the production of "Petersburg". In 1999, the actor was invited to the newly created project "Factory of theatrical events" by Mikhail Efremov and Mikhail Gorev. This was the first, but not the last, experience of an artist in an entreprise.

With the Center for Drama and Directing of Alexei Kazantsev and Mikhail Roshchin, Stas presented the play "Woyzeck", with the production center "Omitra" - the tragicomedy "Adrienne, or Bravo, Mademoiselle Lecouvreur!" in the interpretation of Sergei Golomazov. Olga Drozdova and Dmitry Pevtsov played the main roles in this play by Eugene Scribe.

In 2001, Duzhnikov was invited to join the troupe led by Armen Dzhigarkhanyan. This collaboration lasted 8 years and became a useful experience for the artist, who managed to gain experience during this time and make useful contacts in the acting environment. As the media later wrote, Stanislav, as well as Andrei Merzlikin and Alexander Bukharov wrote a letter of resignation from the theater, not wanting to “turn into serfs” Vitalina Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya, who at that time had a noticeable influence on the head of the institution.

Duzhnikov was not in danger of unemployment. The actor's dramatic talent was noticed and appreciated by Oleg Tabakov, inviting Stanislav to work at the Chekhov Moscow Art Theater. The man himself said in an interview that working in such a theater is a great success for any artist, and the master's favorable proposal flattered him extremely.

On the legendary stage, Stanislav got used to the images of Podkolesin in Gogol's "Marriage", Dr. Myers in "Prima Donna", Mechetkin in "Last Summer in Chulimsk", Gustav in "The Drunken". Duzhnikov still continues to play in art theater, simultaneously acting in films.

Stanislav made his film debut in 1995, while still a student at the Shchukin School - he played a cameo role as a guy in a red shirt in the film "The Young Peasant Woman", where he appeared on the same stage with the rising star Elena Korikova. After that, the actor worked in a number of films, representing inconspicuous characters.

The young actor got to the casting of the film "DMB", which made him famous, by accident, having come for a company with colleagues from the Gogol Theater. The image of the sloven Bomb was instantly remembered by the audience, and the picture was such a crazy success that in the same year it was decided to shoot a sequel.

In 2001, Duzhnikov took part in the filming of the black comedy Down House, where, in addition to him, Ivan Okhlobystin and Fyodor Bondarchuk were filmed. The next year was marked by a new significant role. Stanislav played the detective Mikhail Dotsenko in the most popular project "Kamenskaya-2" and was remembered by Russian fans of detective series.

A new round of Stanislav Duzhnikov's popularity came in 2007, when the first part of the film "Paragraph 78" was released. In this picture, Stas worked in tandem with Vladimir Vdovichenkov and Gosha Kutsenko. Despite the stellar cast, the film flopped at the box office, not beating off half of the money spent on production.

In the same year, a rumor appeared that Duzhnikov had replaced Dmitry Nazarov in the role of the country's main Santa Claus. The actor denied this information, saying that he does not work in this image, as even children expose him. Many journalists assured that Stanislav deliberately misinformed the press so as not to destroy the fabulous image of the character, because Santa Claus should remain Santa Claus, and not be associated with a specific person.

From 2009 to the present day Stanislav Duzhnikov has been playing the role of Leni in the series "Voronins", an adaptation of the American sitcom. For the sake of the image of a fat, ridiculous, but kind investigator, the actor gained 20 kg in 2 months. According to Stas, he did not feel any regrets about this, because he really liked the image he was to get used to.

The film told about a publisher trying to pass off a novel by a little-known writer as the work of his own son. Then exposure threatens, and the loving mother decides to kill the real author in order to avoid shame.

The author of the series "The Heart of Mary" Sergei Karataev involved Duzhnikov in the detective story "Journalists" about unsuccessful friends who did not find success in the business genre and went to the tabloids. But the search for "hot" turns into an investigation into the machinations of a businessman.

In 2019, Stanislav betrayed his own beliefs that Santa Claus would not work out of him. The actor played a bearded magician in the musical "Miracles in Two Hours", which premiered during the New Year holidays on the stage of Nadezhda Babkina's "Russian Song" theater. The music for the production was composed by the author of Russian pop hits Igor Demarin.

Stas was offered the main role of an artist who has to portray a crime boss. Meanwhile, the "original" itself is being hunted by the Italian mafia.
