The series “Univer” about university students living in neighboring dorm rooms has become one of the most popular and recognizable projects on Russian television. It contained everything that is so familiar to any student - problems with passing exams, conflicts with teachers, lack of money, drunkenness, first relationships and many funny stories that the heroes get into every now and then.
For five seasons of Univer, Maria Kozhevnikova played the blonde Allochka - beautiful, bitchy and materialistic. This role brought her fame, although it was not easy. The fact is that the actress in real life is the complete opposite of Alla, and therefore she had to learn to be a “blonde”, for a whole six months before the start of filming, observing the behavior of visiting girls and trying to find small details there for the image of Alla. The result was simply excellent - now it’s very difficult to imagine Univer without this character.

Without any embarrassment, she publishes photos of herself in a swimsuit or without makeup.
“I think that there is nothing wrong with the fact that sometimes I show myself to the public without makeup. And can I post a photo in a swimsuit? What's wrong with that? Why should I be ashamed? My figure is not bad, let them look, I don’t mind. I don't take pictures completely naked. This would really seem suspicious,” notes Maria Kozhevnikova.
