Vera Mikhailovna Sotnikova was born in July 1960 in Stalingrad. A year later, the city was renamed Volgograd. At first glance, an ordinary family. Dad is a workman at a factory, mom worked as a telephone operator. The family had two children - the eldest daughter Galina and Vera. Parents managed to instill in their daughters a love of art. The girls were regularly taken to exhibitions, museums and theaters. Mom wrote poems, which she recited in the home circle, my father wrote military memoirs.

During her school years, Vera took part in amateur performances. She performed at evenings and festive events, recited poetry and played with pleasure in school plays. After lessons, Sotnikova attended circles and sections.

After graduating from school, Vera went to Saratov to enter the theater school, which at that time had already graduated from her older sister Galina. She advised the youngest to go there, supplying Vera with a passage from O. Henry. But it was not possible to enter the drama school. Sotnikova decided that fate had decreed so and returned to her hometown, where she began to study French intensively. She planned to enter Moscow State University.

A year later, the girl went to the capital. And again failure. The applicant did not have the necessary medical certificates. They did not accept her documents. There was a lot of time left before the train to Volgograd, and the girl decided to while away it, trying her hand at the Moscow Art Theater School.

Vera did not count on success, therefore she did not worry. Sotnikova successfully passed the exams and, having withstood a considerable competition, entered the workshop of Oleg Nikolaevich Efremov.

In 1982, Vera graduated from a theater university. The graduation performance was Chekhov's Three Sisters, where Sotnikova got the role of Masha.

Since 1984, the artist has been working at the theater on Malaya Bronnaya. At this time, he occasionally acts in films, since he considers theater to be the main thing for himself. Then for several years, fate tied Sotnikova with the theater of Anatoly Vasiliev. But even this stage did not become the last workplace of Vera Mikhailovna. This list includes the Mossovet Theater, the Moscow Art Theater, the Moon and Roman Viktyuk theaters.

The performances "The Wounded Beast", "The Dog Waltz", "Doctor Zhivago", "The Journey of Amateurs", "Hoffmann" and others became outstanding theatrical works of this period.

The creative biography of the actress began in the early 80s. Vera played her first role in the movie in the film "Confess Guilty", which was released in 1983. The debut was a success, the directors noticed the actress, and since that time she regularly appears in new films. The first 3 years are mostly in episodes. She performed the friend of the hero Alexander Abdulov in the comedy "The Most Charming and Attractive", Ivan's stepmother (Fedor Dunaevsky) - in the drama "Courier".

Then the roles become more noticeable, this can be seen in the paintings "Right to the Past", "State Border" The drama "Gu-ha" about the Great Patriotic War, released in 1989, became a breakthrough for the artist. After this role, Sotnikova starred in several significant films at once, including the melodrama "If I Want - I Will Love".

The actress recreates a vivid image in the political drama "Ten Years Without Correspondence". In 1990, with the participation of Vera Sotnikova and Andrey Sokolov, the drama "Hunt for a Pimp" was released.

Already in her youth, Sotnikova received the status of the most beautiful actress in Soviet cinema. The actress also showed external data in frank photo sessions for that time: the girl was filmed for gift calendars in swimsuits. With a height of 172 cm, her weight still does not exceed 62 kg.

In the mid-90s, with the participation of the artist, the films "Breakfast with a View of Elbrus", "I Want to America", "Alaska Kid" were released. But she becomes recognizable after working in historical films such as Byron, The Battle of the Three Kings, and Queen Margot. Particularly successful for Sotnikova is the role in Byron. The tape was awarded at the International Film Festival in Thessaloniki, and Vera Mikhailovna was recognized as the best supporting actress.

Since 2000, the actress has often been invited to popular TV shows. She appears in The Fifth Corner and Dasha Vasilyeva. In 2004 Vera Sotnikova played the main role in the remake of the film “Words and Music” by the French director Eli Shuraki. The artist convincingly and psychologically deeply played the last love of a woman of Balzac's age.

In the future, her filmography was supplemented by work in the projects "Open, police!", "Management", "My favorite dolt". Vera appears in the crime detective "The Best Enemies" and the melodrama "I'm No Longer Afraid".

A bright work of the actress is the autobiographical series "Lyudmila" about the life and fate of Lyudmila Zykina. Sotnikova played the main character, for which she later received a nomination for the Golden Eagle award as the best performer in a mini-series. Her partners in the film were Evgeny Sidikhin, Igor Vernik, Konstantin Soloviev. Alexei Vorobyov appeared on the screen in the image of the young husband of the legend of the stage - accordionist Viktor Gridin.

In recent years, the artist often appears as a presenter on various projects of the TNT channel. The program with the participation of Sotnikova "Club of ex-wives" was popular among viewers.

Since 2015, the actress has taken a place among the presenters of the show "Battle of Psychics". She helped mediums with investigations. Lera Kudryavtseva, Ksenia Borodina, Elena Valyushkina, Sergey Safronov became her partners.

Sotnikova says that she believes in the superpowers of other people: some are given this, others are not. The actress believes that a person knows little about the mind and soul. And people who could teach such knowledge live in Tibet.

In 2017, there was only one tape in production with her participation called "Fools", and that film did not make it to the screens.

The main performance for Sotnikova is a production based on the play by Alexander Volodin "Five Evenings", in which the actress plays together with Yevgeny Sidikhin. This is a play about love. According to Sotnikova, this is the main feeling in life, which can only be compared with the birth of a child.

There were many men in Sotnikova's life. Vera explains this by the fact that she often fell in love. All of her men were different, from different areas. But Vera Sotnikova was officially married only once. Her first and only spouse, from whom the actress gave birth to a son, Yan, was Yuri Nikolsky.

The young man was 5 years older than his beloved and called himself a restorer. As Vera later found out, Yuri worked as a janitor, but hid this fact.

Romance and mutual understanding disappeared from the relationship as soon as it became known about Vera's pregnancy. The husband was good at spending his wife's money, but he could not make money. Life turned into continuous scandals. When his son was 8 months old, Nikolsky left his family. Vera was forced to leave the baby with her mother in Volgograd - the girl focused on her career. Later Yan Nikolsky was educated abroad. In France, he studied as a pastry chef.

Sotnikova also had several common-law husbands. Soon she met the German businessman Ernst Pindur. The difference in their age was 16 years. But the romance lasted for many years, although it did not develop into a full-fledged marriage.

After several years of wandering and looking for work, the actress finally felt wealth and security. Ernst rented an apartment in the capital for his beloved and provided for her family. But the businessman lived in Germany and did not agree to move to Russia. Sotnikova could not do this either, since her favorite work was in Moscow.

The separation did its job. Vera met a new love - the artist Vlad Vetrov. But the vivid romance did not last long. Soon the singer Vladimir Kuzmin appeared in Sotnikova's life. Since 1993, they have lived in a civil marriage, and it seemed that, finally, Vera Sotnikova's personal life was arranged and adjusted. Nevertheless, the couple did not dare to have a common child - by that time Vladimir was already the father of five children. Despite the complete understanding, the couple broke up after 7 years of marriage.

Sotnikova's next novel, which was written about in the press, is with producer Renat Davletyarov. But the freedom-loving character of the artist came into conflict with the understanding of the family life of an oriental man, accustomed to the fact that he would have the last word. After another showdown, they broke up.

Later, a young actor from Donetsk Dmitry Malashenko became the chosen one of Sotnikova for 2 years. The romance spun almost immediately after meeting. The actress was fascinated by her companion and even gave him her photo with a love message, which she told about in the "Secret for a Million" program.

Vera Sotnikova has a grandson Maxim. The boy lives with his mother in Naberezhnye Chelny. His parents were unable to maintain a relationship and broke up when Maxim was still a baby.

In 2018, the actress was credited with an affair with the finalist of the 19th season of the "Battle of Psychics" Grigory Kuznetsov. Sotnikova herself provoked these rumors with a statement that she liked the medium. The intrigue persisted throughout many issues. Later, the artist clarified that she admires not the young man himself, but his abilities.

For her spectacular appearance and remarkable energy, Sotnikova thanks her mother, who, even being over 80 years old, remained an energetic woman. Almost until her last days, she continued to sing songs, read poetry and live "to the fullest." Margarita Petrovna died 4 days before her 89th birthday. This loss, like the tragic death of her father and elder sister Galina, the artist was emotional.

Sotnikova still surprises fans with her beautiful appearance. It seems that time has no power over the beauty of the actress. Vera does not hide that she resorted to cosmetic plastic surgery, which allows her not to worry about the quality of her makeup. On Instagram, the artist describes in detail the procedures that help to prolong the youthfulness of the skin.

Now the actress continues to appear on television, to participate in entreprise productions. She spends time of rest in her country house.

At the beginning of 2019, Vera Sotnikova visited Alexander Vasilyev and Evelina Khromchenko at the Fashion Sentence project, where she received valuable advice on improving the wardrobe.
