MOSCOW, March 5. /Corr. TASS Olga Svistunova/. The Life in Motion charity foundation, created to support children with disabilities, will celebrate its 5th anniversary with a large-scale concert, which will take place on Tuesday on the stage of the State Theater of Nations under the direction of People's Artist of the Russian Federation Evgeny Mironov. Together with the artistic director of the theater, the program will be attended by Liya Akhedzhakova, Elizaveta Boyarskaya, Yulia Peresild, Irina Pegova, Anatoly Bely, who will tell their personal stories of overcoming, struggling with certain external or internal limitations, searching for oneself and the truth. The organizers of the project reported this to TASS.
Acting revelations
“During the evening, viewers will hear revelations from their favorite artists,” said the agency’s interlocutor. According to him, Liya Akhedzhakova will talk for the first time about the difficulties of the path from “chicken legs” [her first role in the theater was the chicken legs of Baba Yaga’s hut in the Youth Theater] to the central dramatic roles, and about what feats and the discovery of unlimited possibilities in oneself An artist is capable of doing this for the sake of participating in a performance that is important to him. Having broken almost everything for herself after an unsuccessful fall in the first act of the play “Celestine” on the stage of “Sovremennik”, Liya Akhedzhakova, firstly, played the play to the end without even calling an ambulance, and, secondly, refused the operation, pumping herself up with painkillers and having strapped splints on her arms and legs, she produced the play “Circo Ambulante” at the Theater of Nations with director Andrei Moguchiy, with whom she had long wanted to work together.
Another famous actress, Yulia Peresild, will tell her story of moving from Pskov to Moscow, life at the station, entering the theater institute, burying herself in the ground. “All these trials and scars make a person human, give them a taste for life. And you can share this with people,” the project organizers quoted the actress as saying.
Evgeny Mironov will talk about overcoming Perthes' disease, which almost confined him to his bed as a child, as well as about the search for himself and the meaning of life, which continues today.
Everyone has their own spacesuit
Evgeny Mironov, who has 60 roles in films and about 30 in the theater, is an amazing actor. He gained wide fame after starring in the film “In August 1944,” filmed at Belarusfilm in 2000. The film “The Time of the First” is based on real events related to the flight into space of Alexei Leonov and Pavel Belyaev on the Voskhod-2 spacecraft in 1965.
Evgeny Mironov:
I came to Alexey Arkhipovich, hoping that he knew me from films. We talked for four hours, and it became clear to me that he is the same hero that cinema and literature are now lacking.
Before that, I watched a documentary about him and realized that if I didn’t make a big movie, then... I would die.
What struck you about Leonov?
Evgeny Mironov:
He admitted that he should have died seven times. He went into outer space and showed exceptional courage when his bloated spacesuit prevented him from returning to the ship. Leonov managed to enter the ship only by “bleeding” excess air from the suit and climbed into the hatch not with his feet, but with his head first, which was prohibited by the instructions.
Before landing, the automatic orientation system failed, and Belyaev manually oriented the ship, and then turned on the braking engine. Voskhod landed in an off-design area 180 kilometers north of Perm. Leonov's spacesuit had no ventilation, and on the ground he poured liters of sweat out of it.
Why did you take on this particular story?
Evgeny Mironov:
I was interested in exploring the nature of heroism, and Leonov is a real hero. Alive, the whole planet knows him. I split Leonov into atoms. He is from Kemerovo, the eighth child in the family. In 1960 he joined the First Cosmonaut Detachment. And he did something that no one had done before him in the history of mankind.
Did you use any technical tricks?
Evgeny Mironov:
This film about space was shot in 3D for the first time in the history of Russian cinema.
What is your response to American “Gravity”?
Evgeny Mironov:
Ours is cooler! So, Sandra Bullock flew in a large space during the filming, while Kostya Khabensky and I sat in a capsule. Plus our spacesuits weighed 40 kilograms. Filmed in a Soviet-era centrifuge, it is still in working order.
Leonov said more than once that the suit terribly interfered with him...
Evgeny Mironov:
It is for flying, not for walking.
How did you get used to the role?
Evgeny Mironov:
I literally fell in love with Leonov, with his openness and freedom. He has amazing humor. I fell in love with Leonov so much that I dream of a continuation of the film.
How did you prepare for filming?
Evgeny Mironov:
We visited the Cosmonaut Training Center in Star City, RSC Energia, and took a kind of young cosmonaut course.
Alexei Leonov's partner, who manually landed Voskhod-2, Pavel Belyaev, was played by Konstantin Khabensky. What is Kostya like on the set?
Evgeny Mironov:
Easy. I've wanted to work with him for a long time. By the way, Kostya even looks like Pavel Belyaev.
The presentation of the film took place at RSC Energia, where BelKA, a Belarusian Earth remote sensing spacecraft, was created
Now two Russian films about space are being released at once. Why has this topic come up again?
Evgeny Mironov:
The texture of the film “Time of the First” was classified for a long time. Two weeks before the launch, the test ship exploded, but it was decided to send the crew of Leonov and Belyaev into orbit no matter what. Our main consultant on the site was Alexey Leonov himself. A team of specialists from the Cosmonaut Training Center, people from RSC Energia, where the Voskhod-2 spacecraft was created, also worked on the project. (By the way, the presentation of the film took place at RSC Energia, where BelKA, a Belarusian Earth remote sensing spacecraft, was being created.) We worked on creating the ship for about six months and made several 3D models. They built a model on the site, divided into six parts, like orange slices. Each of the “lobules” moved on its own rails, so that the camera could fly through one of them, make a full circle and exit through the opposite one.
Who filmed and where did the filming take place?
Evgeny Mironov:
When the question arose of where to film the landing of the ship, the director typed the word “taiga” on the Internet. The first thing that cameraman Vladimir Bashta, who shot “Brest Fortress” - the first large-scale cinematic project of the Union State, said when he saw the picture: “Here I filmed “The Geographer Drank the Globe Away.” It was 140 kilometers from where the Voskhod 2 cosmonauts landed in 1965. The film crew worked in the Usva River valley at a temperature of minus 35 degrees. The understudies were filmed here - artists from the Perm Theater Theater. Their task was to walk waist-deep in snow, shoot from rocket launchers and shout loudly.
The theme of space has long been in your work...
Evgeny Mironov:
Prince Myshkin is a kind of “alien”; he walks in a “suit” of truth and love.
And it happens that you agree to some role and think: okay, now I’ll play, earn money, and then I’ll go and repent?
Evgeny Mironov:
Can not be. First of all, I don't like money that much. Secondly, I won’t be happy with this money. And thirdly, I’m afraid that God will take away my talent...
What is difficult for you to play?
Evgeny Mironov:
Love. We are all selfish in love, except Myshkin. But Myshkin is not a person.
The last “bomb” that exploded in the Theater of Nations you led was “Shukshin’s Stories,” where Vasily Makarovich developed the type of a kind of village intellectual. What do you think this is?
Evgeny Mironov:
First of all, good manners. I myself am also from the outback, born in the Saratov region. My mother worked as an electrician, my aunt as a crane operator. So, above my aunt’s bed hung images of Lenin and... Jesus Christ. My aunt always went to the theater with a change of shoes. Mom dreamed of becoming an actress, and the children made her dream come true. The daughter became a ballerina. I went to Moscow to the Moscow Art Theater School, I was sure that my fellow countryman Oleg Tabakov would almost let me stay at his home - and with a suitcase I was waiting for him at the entrance to the theater. Then my parents moved to Moscow. They lived poorly, and Oleg Pavlovich allowed his mother, Tamara Petrovna, to work in the Tabakerka canteen, then he took her as an usher to the theater, where she still works...
Limitless possibilities
Together with the artists, the Foundation's wards will also appear on stage - children with certain physical disabilities, as well as ordinary people who, having passed the casting, realize themselves for the first time in an unusual situation that goes beyond their usual boundaries. At the charity evening, numbers will be performed created in the author's laboratories under the direction of choreographer Alexandra Rudika and playwright Evgeny Kazachkov.
“The concert raises the most important social question: what is overcoming for every person, what are limited opportunities and how to go beyond them, realizing oneself in modern society,” noted the organizers of the project.
“There are no and cannot be restrictions for a person with disabilities. We are all equal. This concert is an example of how to fight to fulfill your dreams and believe,” says co-founder of the Life in Motion Foundation, People’s Artist of Russia Evgeny Mironov.
For the concert director, Evgenia Berkovich, it is important to show that people with disabilities have the right to lead a normal lifestyle. “All people - regardless of their fate, age, physical or mental limitations - are equal. And the evening’s program will convince the viewer of this,” said the director.
Actor Evgeny Mironov: biography, photo
Little Zhenya was born on November 29, 1966 in Saratov in a family whose occupation was far from acting. His father, Vitaly Sergeevich, was a driver, and his mother, Tamara Petrovna, worked as a salesman, and after that she was engaged in making Christmas tree decorations at a factory.
But still, talent and creativity were in the Mironovs’ blood: they loved to participate in amateur performances, and the actor’s sister, Oksana, graduated from the Saratov Choreographic School, worked at the State Academic Ballet Theater, and now has her own ballet school.
Evgeniy dreamed of an acting path from an early age: he attended a drama club, was a member of a school dance ensemble, and mastered playing the accordion at a music school. For relatives, the little actor Mironov performed puppet shows in a duet with his sister. After graduating from eight years of school, in 1982 Evgeniy entered the Saratov Theater School named after I. A. Slonov.
What our hero was like as a child can be seen in the photo. Actor Evgeniy Mironov is often mistakenly associated with family ties with the great Andrei Mironov, but this is not so - they are simply namesakes.

For the benefit of a good cause
The proceeds from the concert will be used to implement the Foundation’s new most important project - the creation of the “I Want to Walk” Children’s Prosthetics Center, which is scheduled to open on May 19, 2019. “The Center will have a prosthetics laboratory built using the latest technologies. Comfortable prosthetics will help children get on their feet and take their independent step,” said co-founder of the Life in Motion Foundation, doctor, producer Natalya Shaginyan-Needham.
“Life in Motion” is a project created in 2011 to attract public attention to the problem of adaptation of people with physical disabilities. The project shows their lives in motion through various forms of art - photography, cinema, dance, music, revealing their limitless possibilities and presenting them as an inseparable part of society. Annual charity concerts are part of the project.
In 2014, the Life in Motion Foundation was created on the basis of the project. The main focus of the Foundation is the “I Want to Walk” program, which helps children acquire prosthetics, get on their feet, obtain the necessary education and skills, take a step outside the orphanage and adapt to society.
“I am constantly in a state of love...”
The personal life of Yevgeny Mironov is a subject of constant discussion, shrouded in rumors and speculation. The actor himself, in his rare interviews on this topic, says that he is always in love, but never names the names of his lovers. This gives journalists a reason to invent them themselves. The actor was credited with having affairs with
- Zavorotnyuk Anastasia,
- Ulyana Lopatkina,
- Babenko Alena,
- Olga Slutsker and many others.
Mironov’s friends at the theater university talked about his affair with classmate Maria Gorelik. Later, the girl left for Israel, and why her relationship with Evgeniy did not work out is unknown.
The “romance” of Evgeny Mironov and Alena Babenko made a lot of noise. The actress was married at that time, but attended social events only with Eugene. Naturally, the press immediately began publishing publications about their romance like “hot cakes.” The actors themselves remained silent, and in the end the journalists came to the conclusion that this was just a PR stunt.
In 2002, Mironov introduced his bride named Marianna to friends and colleagues. They went out together and demonstrated a warm relationship, but suddenly this girl also disappeared from the actor’s life.
Another scandalous novel by Yevgeny Mironov is his relationship with the wife of Senator Slutsker Vladimir Olga. The couple only appeared in public together once, but a month after that, Slutsker filed for divorce.
Evgeny Mironov's wife
While the popular film actor is free, the concept of Yevgeny Mironov’s wife is a matter of the future. He has not yet met a woman who could become his beloved wife. In Lera Kudryavtseva’s show “Secret for a Million,” the film actor said that his future wife should be a housewife. According to our hero, such a housewife is his mother and sister. A man is looking for just such a wife.
For a long time he was in a relationship with Marianne, believing that she was able to give him happiness. But the marriage never took place. Currently, as the Matilda star puts it, he is searching, hoping to become a happy husband and father.
