After seeing the film “Carnival” with Irina Muravyova in the title role, the girl decided to become an actress.

There, during the entrance exams, Elena pleasantly surprised the members of the admissions committee and soon received her lucky student card.
“I lived in a hostel on 3rd Tverskaya-Yamskaya, although I could have continued to live at home. I’m a girl from the Moscow region, from Odintsovo, half an hour’s drive - and you’re at the Belorussky station. But I wanted such a theatrical, student life. There I found friends with whom I still go through life,” Elena Lyadova spoke about her student years in one of her interviews.

No matter how she treats TV series as a genre, in this mixture of adventurous comedy and social drama Lyadova shines, painting with bright colors the image of her heroine: tired, risky, fatal, having lost something important inside, cynical, desperately cheerful...
Elena attracted everyone's attention during the Cannes triumph of the film Leviathan , in which Lyadova had the leading female role. Those who followed the broadcast of Cannes 2015 probably remember the actress in Dior , with a radiant gaze directed at her future husband, Vladimir Vdovichenkov .
By the way, Elena literally escaped to Cannes for several days from Crimea, where the filming of the film “ Orleans ” by Andrei Proshkin . Having walked along the red carpet of the film festival, Lyadova returned to the set, where, as part of her role, she had to climb... into a doghouse. Elena says that this is very typical for the acting profession: first you are on the red carpet, and then in the booth. And it's all part of your business.
Elena Lyadova was born on December 25, 1980 in the city of Morshansk in the family of a military man. When the girl was six years old, the family moved to the town of Odintsovo near Moscow.
Elena wanted to become an actress since childhood, but Lyadova jokingly calls her path to the profession “the goat path.” After graduating from school, Elena tried to enter many Moscow theater universities, but... she failed the exams at VGIK, did not get into the famous Pike... But the higher theater school named after M. S. Shchepkin became home to her. Elena was completely absorbed in her studies, new acquaintances, the atmosphere...
After graduating from Sliver, Elena entered the Moscow Theater for Young Spectators, in whose productions she took part while still a student. Lyadova has been associated with MTuZ for ten years.

Elena first appeared on screen in 2005, in the film “ Space as a Premonition by Alexei Uchitel . A year later, I had my first experience working with director Andrei Zvyagintsev in the film “ Exile .” If you watch this film, you won’t see Lyadova there, she just voiced the Swedish actress Maria Bonnevie. But in Zvyagintsev’s next film (“ Elena ”) Lyadova had a full-fledged, major role. The director, by the way, did not have high hopes for the young actress. However, it was for the role of Catherine that Elena received her first “ Nika ”.
Lyadova quite often gains weight for different roles, and admits that losing weight is hard, but gaining weight is much easier and more enjoyable.
In the film based on Dina Rubina’s story “ Lyubka ,” Lyadova touchingly played a thief and a nanny at the same time.

Student years
Elena Lyadova has always been distinguished by her perseverance in achieving her goals. Having entered the theater institute, the future celebrity began to work hard on herself. It was not easy to study: Lyadova had difficulty with complex characters. However, the girl achieved the love and recognition of her teachers. While still a student, the actress learned to give her best. It got to the point that after rehearsals Elena became physically ill from overwork. The most interesting thing is that despite her fanaticism in her studies and her outright harsh character, her classmates loved her. The girl never had conflicts with anyone.
Her patrons
For her incredible hard work, perseverance and perseverance, Elena Lyadova was favored by the course teacher at the Shchepkin Higher Theater School, Rimma Solntseva. It is worth noting that among Solntseva’s students there are such artists as Dmitry Kharatyan, Vladimir Borisov, Alexey Serebryakov, Egor Beroev, Denis Matrosov, Valeria Fedorovich, Daria Melnikova and others.
Lyadova developed a very warm relationship with Solntseva, which over time grew into a strong friendship. The actress still keeps in touch with her mentor and consults with her on any issues. For example, for Elena it is completely normal to call her former teacher at night and sort out her new role, because of which she is tormented by insomnia. All pilot episodes of Lyadov’s new projects are first sent to Solntseva for approval, without which the actress cannot work further.
Working on television after graduating from Moscow State University
A student from a top university in the country received a higher education diploma in 2013: The Moscow State University graduate’s Instagram contains several photos of happy diploma holders smiling at the camera in anticipation of interesting work and exciting trips around the world. And this prospect did not take long to arrive! In the same year, the future owner of the “The People” project was hired as a special correspondent in , and the young man began endless business trips, interviews, and television appearances. "You? Can't be! I can’t believe it!” – Lyadov’s friends wrote in comments on Instagram when they saw the image of the correspondent next to Mireille Mathieu.
2013 and the following years were rich for him in visiting different countries and regions of Russia:
- Italy and Egypt;
- Novaya Zemlya, Dagestan, Grozny;
- Türkiye and Serbia;
- Canyon of Pordoi (Alpine pass on the northern border of Italy).
April 2014: having already made a lot of reports and gained experience, a young Russian TV journalist finds himself in the center of attention of the international press. In the European media, someone had a great desire to stir up a scandal because of “shocking disinformation” (as they wrote in some newspapers) about Andrei Pekhtov. On the BBC resource they broadcast with indignation, for example, that the Russia 1 channel introduced viewers to a mercenary, a supporter of the Maidanists as a guardian for the federalization of Ukraine. It didn’t just smell like something was fried: smoke came out of the ears of those spewing curses at Russian TV and Anton Lyadov - such hysteria rushed to the pages of the media, and in vain! According to the channel’s producers, Lyadov processed and voiced the information received from the stringer (a secret independent journalist), so his guilt in disinformation is zero.
The more often the young special correspondent appeared on TV, the more interesting the future blogger and host of the “The People” channel turned out to be, the more closely they watched him from behind the hill and “dig” in search of compromising evidence. May 2014 (the scandal about Andrei Pekhtov has not yet been erased from the viewers’ memory): new claims – now from the French television channel “Canal+”. A well-formed piece of dirt was thrown at Vesti Nedeli host Dmitry Kiselev and Anton Lyadov, who spoke on the program: the supposed report on the protests of French “Eurosceptics” is full of incorrect translation and specially selected “cuts” taken out of context. Holding strongly defended his colleagues and officially stated that “complaints about the interview itself are meaningless, and comments about Russian TV are accepted only as polemics” (from the official statement and speech of Kiselev).
Lyadov’s path to success continued: the special correspondent traveled around the world, gained experience, made vivid reports, and of course he was included in the group of media workers sent to Rio de Janeiro to cover the Olympic Games in 2016.
The story “About the Olympics, theft and crocodiles” broadcast live on Rossiya 24 was not only detailed, but also sincere, reflecting the real facts of the events. For example, Lyadov did not hesitate to say: “It feels like there are two worlds at the Olympics. When we talked with athletes: it doesn’t matter what country, faith, skin color - complete unity. And as soon as it came to communicating with foreign colleagues, tension arose and provocations to scandals occurred.” Lyadov was referring (this was reflected in the story) to a German journalist who rudely pushed away the Russian film crew during an interview with Smirnov and Zhukov.
Theater
To start earning at least some money herself, already in her student years Lyadova got a job at the Moscow Theater for Young Spectators. At first, she perceived this stage in her career as something temporary. However, subsequently the actress was so imbued with the energy of the theater and artistic director Kama Ginkas that she stayed there for 10 years.
After graduating from the Shchepkin Higher Theater School, Elena Lyadova became a permanent member of the children's theater troupe. Over the years, she performed roles in such productions as “The Golden Cockerel”, “The Happy Prince”, “Tin Rings”, “Roberto Zucco”, “A Streetcar Named Desire”.
However, in 2012, Lyadova left the theater stage and plunged headlong into cinema. The reason for leaving was the small possibilities of the Moscow Youth Theater, which were not comparable to the ambitions of the actress.
Sacrifices for the role
The famous phrase “art requires sacrifice” is not just empty words for Elena Lyadova. The actress has repeatedly proven to herself and those around her that you can do anything for a good role. For example, on the set of the film “Pavlov’s Dog,” Lyadova, with a severe cold and a temperature of about forty, hung out wet laundry in 25-degree frost.
The star also often changes her clothing size: for various projects Lyadova either gets fatter or loses weight. As the actress herself admitted in one of her interviews, gaining weight is much easier and more enjoyable, but to lose weight, you need to make an effort.
“When I needed to lose extra pounds, I tried many diets and understood one thing: the main thing is to eat right, and not eat everything like a pig,” advises Elena Lyadova.
How did Elena Lyadova lose weight?
Many girls dream of being like the heroines from their favorite films. TV viewers don’t even suspect that actresses make great efforts to ensure that their images remain forever in the hearts of viewers. In one film you need to play a plump young lady, and in another you need to turn into a slender, fragile and romantic person.
For example, film diva Elena Lyadova lost weight for the sake of longevity and new roles after she had to gain thirteen kilograms before filming the film “Space as a Premonition.” As the movie star says, gaining weight is easier and more enjoyable, but getting rid of it is quite difficult. However, Elena Lyadova lost a lot of weight thanks to her self-developed nutritional rules.

Healthy food is the key to success Like many actors, the movie star is constantly under stress. Fast food snacks and a busy work schedule led the movie star to unpleasant consequences. After a sharp gain in excess weight, the movie star decided to change her lifestyle in favor of excellent health and beauty. Now the beauty does not eat sandwiches in unlimited quantities, she eats in small portions, tries to eat five times a day and does not include harmful and high-calorie foods in her daily menu. Elena Lyadova lost a lot of weight by eliminating fatty foods, flour products, smoked meats, sausages, and semi-finished products from her diet. She gave up lemonade and alcoholic drinks and does not accept flavor enhancers and GMO products.
The favorite of TV viewers will never torture herself with hunger strikes. In her opinion, to improve overall well-being, it is enough to eat lean meat, fish, vegetables and fruits.
Food processing matters Despite the fact that an acting career takes a lot of time and effort, the movie star pays special attention to cooking. According to the film actress, the condition of all organs and systems, including the gastrointestinal tract, depends on the correct processing of products.
For example, she steams meat and cereals. Dishes prepared in this way retain nutrients.
It is better to eat vegetables and fruits raw, since heat treatment loses half of the components valuable to humans.
The people's favorite believes that baked fish also retains all its beneficial properties and has a wonderful taste.
This attitude to cooking led to Elena Lyadova losing weight and becoming even more attractive.
Drink to lose weight It's no secret that water removes toxins and helps you lose weight. The film actress lost a lot of weight thanks to her own drinking regime. According to the movie star, you should not drink running water. It is better to quench your thirst with a mineral drink without gases or a well-filtered liquid. The famous beauty always drinks a lemon-honey drink before breakfast, thus starting her digestion.
The favorite of TV viewers does not drink liquids unnecessarily. According to her, the body will give a signal if it needs moisture. In general, the famous beauty lost a lot of weight thanks to the fact that she learned to drink about 3 liters of water a day.
Intuition to help As the movie star admitted, at first it was not easy for her to get used to the new way of life. However, she learned to listen to her body, which does not need useless culinary delights, but is waiting for the arrival of useful elements. According to her, the brain does not ask a person for candy, it requires glucose, which can be obtained by eating a spoonful of honey. To stay in shape, you should listen to the subconscious; it was with the help of intuition that Elena Lyadova lost weight.

Titled Lyadova
Elena Lyadova is an actress recognized by film critics more than once. She already has 10 statuettes of the most prestigious Russian awards.

And the film “Orleans,” which recently appeared in theaters, brought Elena Lyadova the first “Silver George” at the Moscow International Film Festival this summer.
Office romances
The personal life of Elena Lyadova is a secret behind seven seals. The actress never talks about what is happening in her heart. It is known that from 2006 to 2014 she was in a civil marriage with actor Alexander Yatsenko, whom she met on the set of the comedy “A Soldier’s Decameron.” According to the plot of the film, the hero Yatsenko falls in love with the heroine Lyadova. And the “on-screen” relationship became a real relationship.
However, the couple’s breakup became known only in May 2014, when Elena Lyadova appeared on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival arm in arm with another “on-screen” love, Vladimir Vdovichenkov. He played her husband’s friend in Andrei Zvyagintsev’s acclaimed film “Leviathan.” On the set, an office romance arose between colleagues, which, just as in the case of Yatsenko, crossed the boundaries of the set. And in April of this year it became known that the lovers had a modest wedding.

In the middle of last week, news appeared on the pages of a number of publications that the famous acting couple Elena Lyadova and Vladimir Vdovichenkov were preparing to become parents. It was reported that the artist is in her fourth month of pregnancy and after some time she will give her husband a daughter, who will become the star couple’s first child together. The media report Lyadova's pregnancy from Vdovichenkov
Fans of Lyadova and Vdovichenkov were incredibly pleased with this information, which was not officially confirmed at that time, but also not refuted. Users of social networks began to congratulate the couple, who have been officially married for two years, on their upcoming replenishment. However, the statement that the couple made together disappointed everyone who dreams of Elena and Vladimir as happy parents.
Lyadova and Vdovichenkov not only denied the news about the imminent appearance of the heiress, but made it clear that they know who is spreading this information.

“This is stupidity,” Elena Lyadova said on air on the RU.TV channel. — For some reason, journalists pay attention to fake accounts and spread strange information. Be vigilant and follow real celebrity blogs on social networks.”
All this time, Vladimir Vdovichenkov tried to take his wife away from the cameras, as if he was afraid that she might say too much, trying to dissuade representatives of the media from her pregnancy.
Meanwhile, Elena Lyadova’s recent appearance in a spacious dress the color of unripe lingonberries gives us the right to believe that a little later the couple will stop so eagerly denying reports about the upcoming wonderful event in the family.

Let us remind you that the relationship between Elena Lyadova and Vladimir Vdovichenkov began on the set of Andrei Zvyagintsev’s film “Leviathan”. The artists carefully hid their romance from fans and secretly signed two years ago in one of the Moscow registry offices. The wedding took place in a narrow circle, the stars invited only close friends and relatives. Even after becoming husband and wife, Lyadova and Vdovichenkov preferred not to advertise their status, and only in the summer of 2016 they were allowed to appear together on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival.
Controversial Lyadova
Elena Lyadova is one of the most prominent personalities of Russian cinema and at the same time closed. The actress most often does not comment on her personal life, but at the same time she does not hide it. For example, in May 2014, Lyadova showed no hesitation at the Cannes Film Festival her tender feelings for her Leviathan partner Vladimir Vdovichenkov. At the same time, Elena did not answer journalists’ questions.
Only in September 2014, when the media began to actively write about the actors’ engagement, having noticed a diamond engagement ring on Lyadova’s ring finger, the artist broke the silence and modestly answered the question about the upcoming wedding: “Yes, Vladimir and I are really engaged.”
The most stylish
At the Cannes Film Festival in the summer of 2014, Elena Lyadova was recognized as a new fashion icon. On the eve of the opening, the actress won the hearts of Western critics with her impeccable style and attention to fashion trends. Her Dior outfit, consisting of a seductive, spacious top with an open back and a surreal pattern and wide trousers, from the Pre-Fall collection was among the best looks of the last film festival. And at the very opening of the film festival, Lyadova amazed critics with a strict and very elegant black dress with a Stella McCartney train. She reminded many of the modern Audrey Hepburn.
Elena Lyadova herself highlights the brands Versace, Dior, Lanvin. Among domestic designers, the actress sympathizes with Kira Plastinina. Lyadova told Woman.ru about her fashion preferences.
“I can buy at least a suitcase of things in one store if I like how they fit me. I love completely different designers - I have been familiar with the creations of some for a long time, while I only closely follow the work of others,” Lyadova shared with Woman.ru.
The most closed
Elena Lyadova does not favor journalists and is reluctant to give interviews. And if it turns out that the actress nevertheless agrees to the conversation, you may not expect specific answers. Lyadova outlined her position in a conversation with one of the reporters, who during the 40-minute conversation was unable to get specific answers.
“If you really want to write about me, then let me appear to the readers as I am. Now, if you write that I haven’t answered a single question of yours in forty minutes, it will be about me, no offense,” said the actress.
Elena Lyadova has admitted more than once that she is not interested in interviews and does not need them: “They don’t pay money for it, I’d rather see my boyfriend off on the train.”
Diet of Elena Lyadova
At least once in our lives, each of us wishes to be slimmer. Admit that you have such a great desire... It’s hard to imagine, for example, the movie star Elena Lyadova as plump. And with her beautiful figure, she does not spend much effort on staying in excellent and proper shape.
The first rule from Elena Lyadova is proper nutrition
What does “healthy eating” even mean? The actress admits that over the many years of filming, she has thoroughly worn out her body and disrupted its metabolism. After all, the actress’s schedule is very grueling and takes a lot of energy, as well as traditional sandwiches known to many actors for the whole day. All this played a cruel joke on the actress.
But the actress took charge of her body and health, was able to develop the necessary tactics for herself and created a list of foods that her body did not want to take, and completely refused to use them.
Here are the products that Lyadova put under a complete ban without any pity:
- Fatty and heavy foods;
- Various semi-finished products and smoked sausages;
- Products containing flavor enhancers and GMOs;
- All fatty samples of fatty meats;
- Fast food;
- Alcoholic and low-alcohol drinks;
- Various carbonated drinks and coffee.
The result was not long in coming: just one month of proper nutrition and lifestyle saved Elena from as many as five extra pounds, and as the actress herself says, she did not torture herself or go on hunger strike.
The second right thing for actress Elena Lyadova is to learn how to properly process food
The life of an actress is constant movement. Sometimes, there is no time to sit down and eat properly. Previously, Elena did not think about the harmfulness of the food she constantly consumed. After filming at home, she could immediately swallow a large steak. However, her opinion has changed greatly.
Secrets of properly processing food, according to the movie star:
- It is advisable to process cereals and meat products in a double boiler. This way the prepared dishes will be “healthy”, since all the necessary and beneficial vitamins will remain in the products.
- Vegetables and fruits should definitely be added to your diet. It is necessary to exclude their heat treatment.
- Fish products must be cooked using the oven. This way the fish will turn out incredibly tasty and incredibly healthy.
Now, during filming, the actress takes properly prepared food with her. If you are too lazy to cook or don’t have time, the actress arranges a fasting day and eats only fresh fruits and vegetables.
The third rule of Elena Lyadova is to drink more fluids
Water is all the time the best and optimal source to satisfy all the fluid needs of our body. The actress made a rule for herself - drink about two and a half liters of water a day. This may seem like a lot of liquid at first.
- In the morning you need to drink a cup of water, with lemon and honey; This is the main rule of the actress. This makes it easier and safer for the digestive system to start up and work in the way it needs.
- If your body does not require water, do not drink. You need to listen to the body’s requests and create an intuitive diet for yourself.
The fourth rule is to listen to your body and create a more intuitive diet.
Don't exhaust your body with unbearable diets. Lyadova says that it was hard for her to give up many foods, but after a couple of months, she really liked the healthy lifestyle. I also really liked the dietary restrictions. Each girl must choose an individual diet for herself and go towards her goal.
