Yankovsky brothers. What are the most famous acting dynasties in Russia

Among the famous actors, singers, athletes, showmen there are many people whose names are known not only to young people, but also to their parents, as well as grandparents. By inheritance this creative people transferred not only the resemblance, but also talent. Also, setting yourself up for success. In short, genes are everything! StarHit chose the 10 most influential dynasties of Russian show business, remembered their history and found out what the youngest, but already largely successful heirs of high-profile surnames, dream of.

Pugacheva - Orbakaite-Presnyakovs

When two powerful clans united, it became clear that together they are a force. The union of the daughter of Alla Pugacheva and the son of Vladimir and Elena Presnyakov has brought wonderful results, and even now, despite the divorce of Christina and Vladimir, this is a large and friendly family, where everyone is a mountain for each other. Suffice it to recall the celebration of the 65th anniversary of Alla Pugacheva on Channel One on the One to One show, where the Primadonna herself, Kristina Orbakaite, Vladimir Presnyakov and his wife Natalya Podolskaya posed in the same picture in the image of a young Alla and Nikita Presnyakov, disguised as his own father.

It was difficult for Nikita Presnyakov to become an engineer with such genes, his talents began to appear in his youth. He shot a family amateur video, and was fond of music. The guy says that none of his relatives has ever imposed anything on him. « As a child, at 12 or 13 years old, I wanted to be a rocker, as tough as Limp Bizkit. My grandmother saw my desire, looked at me and said: “Enough in our family of singers.” Perhaps this was the only reaction of my relatives to my professional plans”, Nikita recalled. But, of course, all relatives support all Presnyakov's undertakings. Until the age of 17, Nikita lived with his mother, and then he moved away from the annoying attention of the press and "well-wishers". He entered the New York Film Academy. “The course was called Filmmaking. Over the years of study, I held a microphone, and was a soundman, and edited, and filmed, and directed, and changed lenses, and was a camera assistant ... That is, I went through all the activities that relate to working on a film, ”says Nikita. It was, being far from his parents, that in America the guy matured: “There my independent life began. Every week they sent me two hundred dollars for food. There were cases when I incorrectly controlled expenses, lowered everything to the cent, and after 3-4 days I was starving, “shooting” a dollar from my friends on loan. Then he worked as a bartender. Lived on tips. Then I realized that you have to choose your own path. As you wish, so be it. It was hard, but interesting." After studying, Nikita Presnyakov returned to Russia and became an independent star. He participated and won in several popular music shows, starred in seven videos, and a year ago he created the MULTIVERSE group. The youngest successor of two dynasties at once plans to achieve success with this team.

zapashnye

The founder of the dynasty, Mikhail Zapashny, was a port loader in Yeysk, where, after the civil war, the legendary fighter Ivan Poddubny noticed him and offered to try himself in the circus, in the then popular genre of French wrestling. Soon Zapashny mastered other circus genres and became a respected person in the circus. To date, the youngest successful representative of the circus Zapashny dynasty in the fourth generation is the 37-year-old Honored and People's Artist of Russia Askold Zapashny. For the first time he entered a cage with tigers at the age of ten. Together with his older brother Edgard, he traveled half the world on tour. In 1998, at the celebration of the anniversary, their father, Walter Zapashny, inherited the attraction “Among Predators” to his sons.

Now the brothers travel with their tigers around the country and the world, put on bright modern circus shows. The younger Askold, by the way, who was educated at GITIS as a circus director, has been fond of filming videos since childhood and dreams of making films professionally: “Circus people need to insure their lives with additional professions, since our work is quite traumatic. My mother quite clearly outlined for me the consequences of an attack by a predator or an unsuccessfully performed acrobatic stunt and the likely unsuitability after this. My hobbies in editing and 3D design first resulted in short films, mostly documentaries, for "internal" use. Then I put already small art films, and then received a financially binding order that allowed me to evolve and test how my ambitions matched the possibilities. It seems to me that this is a very correct approach in choosing an alternative profession. I decided that I wanted to take directing seriously. I challenged myself as a professional by agreeing to work on the film “5 Years” for the Kipelov group, because the rock audience is considered demanding, cynical and very honest.” Askold successfully completed this order, he also likes the circus director. Of course, circus performances are in the first place so far. Askold has two daughters: Eva and Elsa, despite the young age of the girls, their fate is decided - they will continue the circus dynasty. “I spent so many years at the arena, how can I not pass on my invaluable experience to anyone? My children don't even have to study at the circus school - I myself will prepare them for work. My brother and I started with acrobatics and juggling, and I will lead my daughters in the same way, ”says Askold. By the way, the names of the girls Askold and his wife chose bright and beautiful, suitable for the arena. By the way, Edgard is also going to raise circus performers from his two daughters. The brothers are obliged to continue the dynasty as heirs.

Piekha

77-year-old singer Edita Piekha does not have a soul in her grandson. And so it has always been. When her daughter Ilona Bronevitskaya gave birth to a boy, Edita Stanislavovna decided to name him after her father - Stas. As a child, he bore the surname of his father, jazz musician Petras Gerulis. But when Stas moved to his grandmother at the age of 7, then he received her last name - Piekha. Edita Stanislavovna said that the Piekha family was cut off because of the war, and Stas should revive it. “I have been calling her Dita all my life. Offended if I say grandmother. Now, however, I have reconciled myself, because I say not a grandmother, but a babon, babulevich. In a word, so that it looks like a joke. And before that she couldn’t stand it: I’m not your grandmother, I’m Edita! Dita was very strict. She could buy me a good bike, but it took a long time to beg, to suck up. When I got older, I said: Grandma, give me this now, and when I grow up, I will provide you with everything, everything, everything! Sometimes she gave up. But I didn’t ask for anything super expensive: jackets, tape recorders. Now Stas himself can give his grandmother any gift. After he entered the top three winners of the fourth Star Factory, his career took off. By the way, it was at the "Factory" that his first hit appeared - the song "One Star", which was written by Viktor Drobysh. At the very beginning of the project, when all participants filled out questionnaires, Stas, to the question: “Who would you like to sing a duet with?”, He wrote: “with Valeria”. And this dream of his came true - the song "Let me go" in a duet with Valeria was performed at one of the reporting concerts. As a prize for successful participation in a TV project, he received the production of a solo album, the shooting of a video clip and a motor scooter.

Now Stas Piekha is touring the Russian regions. And his new song "Incompatible Love" is already ready. “I will refrain from predicting whether the listener will like the song. I will not give up hope that it will crawl to the first lines of the Golden Gramophone and other hit parades of the country, ”Stas Piekha spoke about the new composition. By the way, in the luggage of the grandson of the legendary singer there are already eight statuettes of the Golden Gramophone. Despite the fact that Stas takes all the time to perform creative plans, he not only built a career, but also fulfilled the main dream of any man. Recently, the 34-year-old performer became a father, his son was born. So, perhaps someday the great-grandson of Edita Stanislavovna will take the stage.

Yankovsky

The first actor in the family of hereditary military Yankovsky was Rostislav. His younger brother Oleg followed in the footsteps of Rostislav, he managed to glorify his family and become a great actor. The son of Oleg Ivanovich - Philip grew up into a famous director and actor. And now his son and Oksana Fandera are storming the cinema of the 21st century. Ivan Yankovsky first appeared on the screen at the age of six in Andrey Tarkovsky's film "Mirror" together with his grandfather actor Oleg Yankovsky, and his first serious work was the role in the film "Indigo", in which he played at the age of eighteen. Last summer, Ivan starred in leading role in the film "Love with and without an accent: Once upon a time in Armenia." Yankovsky's partner in this film was a popular actress, star of the series "Thaw" Anna Chipovskaya. But the romance did not happen on the set, because the hearts of Anna and Ivan are busy. Vanya is dating aspiring actress Vera Panfilova-Kincheva, the daughter of the leader of the Alisa group. The guy graduated from the directing and acting department of GITIS, in which he actively played in the student theater. “I am ordinary, I have a normal life, normal aspirations, I want to become a real actor and play many roles,” Ivan plans. By the way, his younger sister Lisa Yankovskaya is a student of GITIS. So the dynasty continues!

Bondarchuks

The founder of the dynasty is the outstanding film director and actor Sergei Bondarchuk. Sergei Fedorovich had two wives - actresses Inna Makarova and Irina Skobtseva. In both marriages, children were born who also became artists. And then their children. From her first marriage to the St. Petersburg theater and film actress Inna Makarova, a daughter, Natalya Bondarchuk, was born; from her marriage to artist Nikolai Burlyaev, a daughter, Maria Burlyaeva, was born. In the second marriage, Sergei Bondarchuk and Irina Skobtseva had children Alena and Fedor. The most popular of the young heirs of the dynasty, Konstantin Kryukov, is the son of actress Alena Bondarchuk and Doctor of Philosophy Vasily Kryukov. As a child, at the insistence of his grandfather, he graduated with honors from an art school in Zurich. Then - the Moscow branch of the American Institute of Gemologists, becoming a specialist in precious stones. And in 2006 he received a diploma from Moscow State Law Academy. The role that brought him fame, Kryukov played in the film "9th Company". The director of this popular project was Konstantin's uncle Fyodor Bondarchuk. Now the popular actor has about fifty paintings on his account. In addition, he is very passionate about painting and jewelry. When asked if he would like to professional education, the actor answers like this: “It seems to me that it is already too late to receive it, and objectively my employment does not allow me to do this. Then I don't really like to study in educational institutions: in my opinion, they are all very unified and not very effective. Today we live in an era of absolute accessibility of information, and it is easier to engage in self-education. Read, learn, communicate and do it privately. I don’t think that I could now afford to go somewhere to unlearn five years. If I have a task to work with my voice, I can hire a teacher. Moreover, on the set of almost every picture, I have to learn something, from freediving and horseback riding to various games. For example, I filmed with Gregory of Constantinople and even recorded three songs, although I hate to sing in karaoke. And I even really liked one of them!” Konstantin brings up his daughter Julia from his first marriage. Will she continue famous dynasty? “Her mother and I deliberately arranged everything in such a way that my popularity does not concern Yulia. We don't do any interviews about her. If she wants to develop in this direction, have some kind of publicity, engage in a creative profession that involves advertising herself, we will help her and give advice. In the meantime, she must have her own private life which is more valuable than anything else."

Efremovs

The theatrical dynasty of the Efremovs already has three full-fledged venerations: starting with the actor and director Oleg Efremov, continuing with Mikhail Efremov, who surpassed his talented father in many ways, and closing - but only so far - on the 23-year-old Nikolai Efremov, son of Mikhail Efremov and Evgenia Dobrovolskaya. Together with his father, he managed to star in the "Book of Masters", and with his mother in his first major role in the television series " white guard". About working with parents, the young actor speaks like this: “On the set, we interact exactly like colleagues, we work. I can say something useful too.” Kolya says this about his belonging to the great dynasty: “Finally, in my twenties, recently, literally, I got rid of some attraction, envy for someone. Because we are all different people, individuals, and each has its own path. I remember earlier, at the age of 16-17, I thought: “Oh, what a high bar I have! Mom, dad, and grandfather - oh, what to do? To die - do not get up! And then I realized that I just need to work and that's it. But yes, all my life I have felt responsible, and I am reminded of it all the time. Strangers somewhere in the store can reproach ... I remember this thing from my studies at film school: we were told that people who say "you're great, everything is fine, you're cool" - they don't give a damn about you. And the people who scold are doing it for good, because they want you to understand.” Nikolai strives for serious roles, and will become a worthy son of his parents. By the way, his brother Father Nikita Efremov, also a successful young actor, so a worthy replacement is growing.

Mikhalkovs

The poet Sergei Mikhalkov in 1936 married the writer Natalya Konchalovsky, the daughter of the artist Pyotr Konchalovsky and the granddaughter of the artist V. Surikov. Thus the dynasty was founded. Children of Sergei and Natalia: directors Andron (Andrey) Konchalovsky and film director and Nikita Mikhalkov. Their heirs from different marriages have long been held in art: directors and artists Yegor Konchalovsky and Artem Mikhalkov, actresses Anna Mikhalkova and Nadezhda Mikhalkova. The youngest of the famous successors of the dynasty is the 28-year-old actress Nadya Mikhalkova. Nadezhda's husband is director, screenwriter, film producer Rezo Gigineishvili, so it is likely that the couple's children - daughter Nina and son Ivan - will follow in the footsteps of their parents. “Our daughter Nina is still small, and I don’t think about what she will become when she grows up. She has someone to look up to, but it is not necessary that she choose creativity, want to be a director, actress or model. For example, I would not be upset if Nina became a doctor, like her father and uncle Rezo, ”Nadezhda believes. The career of Nadia herself began in childhood: at the age of eight, she starred in the film by her father Nikita Mikhalkov “Burnt by the Sun”, played the daughter of the divisional commander Kotov. A few years later, she starred in the film directed by Tigran Keosayan "The President and his granddaughter", where she played two twin sisters. Now Nadezhda is being filmed by her husband Rezo Gigineishvili, but she managed to shine in the continuation of Burnt by the Sun. “A job, a husband, children appeared early in my life. I give all my time to this,” says the actress.

Vitorgans

The Vitorganov theatrical dynasty originates from the actor Emmanuil Vitorgan, continues in his son Maxim, and then in his granddaughter Polina Vitorgan, who has already chosen a creative profession. 18-year-old Polina starred in the TV series "Doctor Zaitsev's Diary" (she played the main character as a teenager) and Valeria Gai Germanika's project "May Ribbons". The granddaughter of Emmanuil Vitorgan, the daughter of Maxim Vitorgan and theater actress Victoria Verberg is already a sophomore, a student of the RATI GITIS. They say that when Polina decided to continue the artistic dynasty, Maxim was worried and did not approve of this choice of his daughter. “Inwardly, I was against it. But she went to this for several years, very purposefully, she was absolutely sure. And even made me at some point start rooting for her to enter, ”said Maxim. Famous actor sincerely rejoices at the first victories of her beloved daughter. Once he joked on social networks: “Here I was not approved for Germanicus (and they did it right - I failed the tests and had no hopes), but my daughter, Polina, was approved! On cue, probably." By the way, Maxim's wife Ksenia Sobchak supports Polina and says that she sometimes gives her advice on choosing clothes.

Urganty

The surname Urgant has been heard for many years, although in each of the past decades it was glorified by a variety of people - two men and one woman, the ancestor of the dynasty, actress Nina Urgant. And now her grandson, 37-year-old TV presenter of the Evening Urgant and Smak programs, Ivan is actively acting in films and singing. Everything is easy and talented for Ivan Urgant. Yes, and no wonder with such and such roots! Grandmother Nina Urgant and father Andrei Urgant are famous and beloved actors. The younger representative of the dynasty gives all his strength to his show "Evening Urgant". “When we first started, I didn’t believe that our talk show could go on every day for a long period. But we still find the strength to invent something new - guests, events and even places. We learned to migrate from shows to cities - we moved to Sochi for the Olympics and to St. Petersburg during the white nights, ”says the TV presenter. By the way, Ivan Urgant named his daughter in honor of his grandmother Nina, so perhaps another favorite artist is growing up.

Tikhonovs

This is the only sports dynasty on our list. It originates from the legendary hockey coach Viktor Tikhonov. Viktor Tikhonov Jr. is his full namesake. Viktor as part of the Russian national hockey team last year became the world champion and was named the top scorer of the tournament. Now he plays for the St. Petersburg SKA.

The son of hockey coach Vasily Tikhonov was born in Riga, where his father coached Dynamo. In the late 90s, Victor lived in the USA, where his father worked as a coach in the NHL club. There, Vitya began to play hockey professionally, playing in the Santa Clara children's league. Constant training and athletic genes made Viktor Tikhonov Jr. a talented hockey player who honorably maintains the level of his father and grandfather, who, unfortunately, are no longer alive. The 26-year-old is married and has a son, Leo, who is also likely to continue the dynasty. Well, Viktor Tikhonov is on his way to new victories. When the guy was included in the Russian Olympic team, his grandfather was the first to congratulate him. Unfortunately, the team performed unsuccessfully at the Sochi Games, and the grandson of the famous coach did not go out on the ice often. But a few months later, Tikhonov Jr. became the world champion and the top scorer of this tournament. After the final match, Tikhonov Sr. went into the team locker room and congratulated his grandson. He, in turn, removed gold medal and put it on the grandfather's neck. "This is your reward too, grandfather!" - said the world champion.

Childhood

Rostislav Yankovsky was born on February 5, 1930 in Odessa in the family of a former staff captain of the Semyonovsky Life Guards Regiment. Subsequently, his father will be repressed, and the family will be sent into exile in Kazakhstan, where his younger brother Oleg Yankovsky will be born.

The “roots” of the Yankovskys are Belarusian, which, by the way, is also evidenced by the surname itself, based on the name of Jan, Yanka. Yes, and the founder of the family was originally Jan Yankovsky, it was later in Russia that he became Ivan. Guards officer, staff captain of the Life Guards Semenovsky Regiment Ivan Yankovsky had to serve in the Red Army, along with Tukhachevsky ... Mother is also a noblewoman, from the Nenastiev family. Mother is from the Volga, and father is from Belarus.

And, nevertheless, despite the faithful service in the Red Army, in Soviet times, Ivan Yankovsky was still repressed. And the family of the "enemy of the people" lived with him in many cities and villages. After the second arrest, the family moved to a village near Rybinsk. The city was famous for its huge "zone". What kind of people were sitting there at that time: actors, musicians, poets! And what concerts were given by my father's friends, "free settlers"!

It was in this intelligent, highly educated family that Rostislav Yankovsky grew up. The guy read a lot, thought, and fantasies were born in his soul, filling his soul with deep inner meaning ... But playing in various drama circles was, perhaps, the only outlet among the school routine. Then, during the war, the young man was drawn to play, to portray something unexpected, bright. In school amateur performances, he was always entrusted with the main, responsible roles. Parents, who themselves loved the theater, art, music, always supported their son's passion. And then they continued to help him, were the first advisers. So the appearance on the stage of Rostislav Yankovsky, perhaps, was prepared by his whole life.

The beginning of a theatrical career. Studies

After graduating from school, he married, worked as a dispatcher for a car depot in Leninabad. At this time, he took part in the amateur performances of the Palace of Culture. There, Rostislav Ivanovich was noticed by the head of the local theater Dmitry Mikhailovich Likhovetsky and offered to work in the theater. At first, Rostislav began to refuse, because there was no education, but he was told: "You will work and study, we have teachers." And so it happened: Rostislav studied at the studio at the theater and was busy in theater performances: “Makar Dubrava” by Korneichuk, “The Last” by M. Gorky.

In 1951 he graduated from the theater studio in Leninabad, until 1957 he worked at the Leninabad Theater.

In 1957, together with his wife Nina and son Igor, he moved to Minsk, and since then has been serving in the Minsk Russian Drama Theater. M. Gorky. Rostislav already in his youth became the star of the stage. Here his most famous classical roles were played: Macbeth, Arbenin, Antony, Vershinin.

More than once, the famous actor of the Belarusian stage was lured to the best theaters in Moscow and Leningrad, but every time he refused: “Probably, no country can accept and love me the way Belarus has accepted and loved me. In Minsk, the Lord helped me, the fate of the actor was good, I played many roles. I love this theater, and he loves me!” And being the permanent president of the Listapad International Film Festival, Rostislav Ivanovich has never canceled a single performance with his participation, even on the opening day of the film forum!

First film roles

The debut of Rostislav Yankovsky in the cinema took place at the film studio "Belarusfilm" in the historical and revolutionary adventure film "Red Leaves". Director Vladimir Korsh-Sablin invited the then rising star of the Minsk theater scene to play the role of one of the young rebels along with famous actors: Mikhail Zharov, Klara Luchko, Yevgeny Karnaukhov, Vladimir Chobur, Vladimir Dedyushko.

Rostislav Yankovsky began to comprehend the real cinematic life from the role of a serious-minded Red Army soldier Vasilchikov in a film about civil war"Two comrades were serving" Evgeny Karelov. In this film, the Jankowski brothers starred together for the first time. The younger Oleg Yankovsky played the role of the former photographer - soldier Andrei Nekrasov in the film. Then, however, cinematic fate brought them together more than once on the same set.

In the historical and biographical film "I, Francysk Skaryna..." directed by Boris Stepanov, the Yankovsky brothers created romantic images of other brothers who lived in the first half of the 16th century. Rostislav brilliantly played Ivan Skaryna, and Oleg looked just as successful as the Belarusian publisher and educator Francysk Skaryna.

Heroes of Yankovsky. So different…

70s - 80s - the heyday of the work of Rostislav Yankovsky. Possessing innate aristocracy and charm (which, in fact, is inherent in all Yankovskys), the actor created a whole gallery of memorable images. The ability of an actor to easily fit into a variety of artistic worlds allowed him to be in demand by a variety of directors in films of various genres.

Among his heroes: Aguirre in Veniamin Dorman's adventure film "Land on demand", editor Semyon Petrovich in Joseph Shulman's drama "Meeting at the End of Winter", Colonel Anton Georgievich Belov in Boris Shadursky's detective "Problem with Three Unknowns", Professor Flyagin in the film Ivan Kiasashvili "Pulpit", Master of the constellation in "The Tale of the Star Boy" by Leonid Nechaev, war invalid, book lover Mikhail Mikhailovich in Nikolai Lukyanov's children's comedy "Don't forget to turn off the TV ...".

Yankovsky also looked organically in paintings on military subjects (Chief of Staff partisan detachment in the war film by Boris Stepanov " Wolf Pack"and the strong-willed smart Major General Smirnov in the Battle of Moscow by Yuri Ozerov), and in screen adaptations of the works of Russian classics (Vyacheslav Krishtofovich's drama" Big Volodya, Little Volodya ", created based on the stories of Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, or one of the best screen adaptations of Dostoevsky - drama by Evgeny Markovsky "Eternal Husband").
Among the most notable films with the participation of Rostislav Yankovsky in the early 90s are: the tragicomedy by Vyacheslav Krishtofovich "Adam's Rib" (where the actor created the image of a successful lawyer Viktor Vitalievich) and an ironic fantasy from the behind-the-scenes life of theatrical bohemia based on the plays by Durenmatt and Anuy "Sin of acting". AT latest actor shines with a stormy play of colors in the title role in partnership with the magnificent Anastasia Malankina.

Yankovsky did not just play roles, he truly "lived on the screen." This talent of the actor was also clearly manifested in the melodrama "A Sunny Day at the End of Summer", which tells about an unexpected and inappropriate feeling that arose between two already completely mature people, each living his own life, and in the movie parable "Anomaly", based on the story by Clifford Simak "All Living Things Are Grass".

Rostislav Yankovsky also starred in two films of Yevgeny Matveev's famous film trilogy “Love in Russian - 2”, playing the role of Yaroshevich, a vain man in pursuit of benefits and a career. As Rostislav Ivanovich himself admitted, he simply could not deny himself the pleasure of acting next to such masters of Russian cinema as Evgeny Matveev, Galina Polskikh, Larisa Udovichenko, Viktor Rakov.

In recent years, Rostislav Ivanovich infrequently, but still appears on the screen, delighting fans of his talent with his new works. One of these roles is the Polish farmer Wojciech Bielski in the war film "In June 41".

Contrary to popular belief, nature does not always rest on children. The offspring of celebrities often inherit not only experience, knowledge and property, but also an outstanding talent. On the Day of Family, Love and Fidelity, Afisha a42.ru dug into family trees celebrities and found 10 families with strong blood ties in which the acting profession is already long years passes from generation to generation.

MIKHALKOV-KONCHALOVSKY

It is impossible to call the Mikhalkov-Konchalovsky acting dynasty exclusively, because they have writers, directors and public figures in their family, however, it is impossible not to mention one of the loudest and most numerous creative families in the country. The Mikhalkov-Konchalovsky dynasty began with the writer, poet, playwright, screenwriter, publicist and public figure Sergei Mikhalkov. The one who wrote about Uncle Styopa, the script for the film "Three Plus Two" and the anthem of our country.

Both sons of Sergei tied their fate with the cinema. The eldest son Andrei Konchalovsky is a director, screenwriter, public figure and winner of the "Silver Lion" at the Venice Film Festival for directing the film "White Nights of the Postman Alexei Tryapitsin."

In his first marriage to actress Natalya Arinbasarova, Andrei Konchalovsky had a son, Yegor, who followed in his father's footsteps and became a director.

The youngest son of Sergei Mikhalkov - Nikita Mikhalkov - not only writes scripts, makes films and occasionally plays roles in it with great success, but is also rightfully considered one of the most significant figures in Russian cinema today.

Unlike the eldest son Stepan, who played in two films in the early 90s, and then quit acting and became widely known as a successful restaurateur, the rest of Nikita Mikhalkov's children from both marriages continued to build a career in cinema. Anna Mikhalkova started acting in 1995 and gradually moved from popular films to independent and auteur films. His outstanding talent has been noted by filmmakers more than once, as evidenced by the arsenal of the prestigious national film awards Golden Eagle, Nika and the prize of the Kinotavr festival.

Artem Mikhalkov also became an actor, and at the same time a screenwriter, director, producer and TV presenter.

The youngest daughter of Nikita Mikhalkov, Nadezhda, also became an actress and gained worldwide fame after the role of Nadia Kotova in her father's film Burnt by the Sun. Or rather, after her father carried her in his arms while receiving an Oscar for the film and the Grand Prix of the Cannes Film Festival.

It is surprising that none of the offspring of a high-profile family has yet shown the ability to draw, because the great Russian artist Vasily Surikov is in the Mikhalkov-Konchalovsky family.

BONDARCHUK

The Bondarchuk dynasty begins with the world-famous director and actor, winner of the Oscar, Golden Globe and countless prizes of the Moscow and All-Union Film Festivals Sergei Bondarchuk.

Married to actress Inna Makarova, Bondarchuk had a daughter, Natalya, an actress and director, who was especially remembered by the audience for her roles in the films Solaris and Star of Captivating Happiness.

The children from the third marriage of Sergei Bondarchuk with actress Irina Skobtseva were Elena and Fyodor Bondarchuk. Elena played her most notable roles in her father's films "Boris Godunov" and "Quiet Don", but the filmography of the actress was not destined to become extensive - Elena Bondarchuk died in 2009 from cancer.

Elena's son, Konstantin Kryukov, also connected his life with acting. The first popularity came to him after his uncle's film "9th Company".

Fyodor Bondarchuk continued his father's work, becoming not only a popular actor, but also one of the most replicated domestic directors recent years, whose films "9th Company" and "Stalingrad" were nominated for an Oscar.

EFREMOV

The Efremov dynasty began with the most talented theater and film actor Oleg Efremov, well known to the viewer from the films “Beware of the Car”, “Battalions Ask for Fire”, “Three Poplars on Plyushchikha” and “Aibolit-66”.

The son of Oleg Efremov, Mikhail followed in his father's footsteps and became not only one of the most successful, but recognizable actors in the country, whose filmography is rich in more than 120 roles.

The father of many children, Mikhail Efremov, in turn, passed on his talent for acting to his sons. The son from his second marriage, Nikita, is a popular actor who gained fame after participating in the films The Ballad of the Bomber and Cinderella.

The son of Mikhail Efremov from his third marriage with actress Evgenia Dobrovolskaya Nikolay on this moment best known as an actor in serials. Among the most notable projects with his participation is the television drama "The White Guard" based on the book of the same name by Mikhail Bulgakov.
