Heirs of the “midshipmen”: what the children of Zhigunov, Shevelkov and Kharatyan look like


The famous actor Dmitry Kharatyan was born in the Uzbek city of Almalyk in the winter of 1960 into a family of engineers. Soon after the birth of their son, the parents moved to their apartment in the city of Lipetsk. Then they exchanged it for a communal apartment near Moscow. Unfortunately, Dmitry Kharatyan’s family did not get along in the new housing; his parents divorced soon after the move.

Little Dima grew up as a timid and quiet boy, without much success in his studies. But he was interested in sports, especially hockey. But no one took the frail and timid Dmitry.

A trip to the camp helped Dmitry Kharatyan discover his passion for creativity. At a young age, Dima already knew how to play the guitar. Those around him, who noticed the boy’s talent, advised him to take up music more seriously.

As a schoolboy, Dmitry did not dream of a career as an actor; he was more attracted to the profession of a doctor, but his dream did not come true due to the guy’s low grades. Then, he decides to enter the Shchukin Theater School. But he fails his exams. In the early 80s, Dmitry entered the Shchepkin Theater School. After 4 years he successfully completes it.

Childhood and youth

Dmitry Vadimovich Kharatyan was born in January 1960 in Uzbekistan, in the suburbs of Tashkent - Almalyk. The parents of the future star are engineers by education. Father Vadim Mkrtichevich Kharatyan is half Armenian and taught at a technical university. Mother Svetlana Olegovna Tizenko is Russian by nationality, born in Arkhangelsk. For 10 years, the woman was a deputy of the city council of Krasnogorsk near Moscow.

The artist has famous ancestors. Before the revolution, the Armenian Kharatyanov family owned the Taron trading house in Meghri. Dmitry's maternal grandfather belonged to the nobility, his mother was the granddaughter of the Russian navigator Stepan Gomzyakov, whose name can be found in the Russian America encyclopedia. My grandfather’s brother is a midshipman and served on the battleship Petropavlovsk.

A year after Dima’s birth, the head of the family received housing in Lipetsk, which he later managed to exchange for a room in a communal apartment near Moscow. In the new place, the life of the married couple did not work out - the couple separated.

Dmitry Kharatyan grew up as a modest and shy child, did not please his mother with his academic success, and did not demonstrate diligence and perseverance. But the boy had an interest in sports: young Kharatyan was fond of team games and dreamed of playing hockey professionally. But the teenager was not accepted into the hockey team.

But his passion for music brought success: Dmitry played the guitar and sang. The boy’s vocal talent was noticed during Dima Kharatyan’s trip to the Meteor camp: the young musician was advised to develop his abilities. At the age of 13, the teenager led the Argonauts ensemble.

A cinematic biography of Kharatyan started in the 10th grade. To support his classmate Galya, who dreamed of becoming an actress, Dima went to a screen test. Galya was approved for the episode, and director Vladimir Menshov invited Dmitry to play the main role in the film “The Hoax.” Kharatyan played the romantic young man with a guitar, Igor Grushko, and woke up famous. The film was released in 1977, and the song “When We Leave the Schoolyard” became a hit.

Fans did not give way to the blond 17-year-old actor, but fame did not go to his head. Kharatyan was preparing to become a doctor, like his own uncle. The knowledge of general education subjects in which the guy “swimmed” failed.

Dmitry went to the Shchukin School: the experience of working in a popular film gave him confidence in his abilities, so the young man did not prepare for the exams. The subsequent failure discouraged the star: Dima went on a geological expedition to the Kyzyl-Kum desert. Returning from a campaign in 1978, Kharatyan entered the Higher Theater School named after M. S. Shchepkin on the course of Mikhail Tsarev and Rimma Solntseva, which he graduated 4 years later.

The artist’s personal life has always been stormy, which is why Dmitry Kharatyan was called the first womanizer of Russia. His first love was his friend Galina, who brought the young man to the casting of the film “The Hoax.”

Personal life

Dmitry Kharatyan with his wife and son

In January 1984, Dmitry and Marina had a daughter, Alexandra. But Kharatyan never turned out to be an exemplary family man - in those years he became addicted to alcohol. This fact became decisive in the breakup of his family. The popularity of the actor, who was pursued by fans after the release of Midshipmen, also played a detrimental role. For them, Kharatyan is a sex symbol and an ideal man (Dmitry’s height is 1.73 m and his weight is 73 kg).

On the set of the comedy “Operation Cooperation” by Gaidai in 1989, the winner of the “Miss Tiraspol” competition, student and future actress Marina Maiko, entered Kharatyan’s personal life. When they met, the girl did not know about the actor’s popularity, which intrigued her and then won Dmitry’s heart.
