Evgenia Kryukova in the play “8 Loving Women”
The incomparable Evgenia Kryukova at the Theater. Moscow City Council for more than 30 years. Now she is busy in seven productions, including the role of the bisexual Pieterra in 8 Loving Women. It is noteworthy that her 21-year-old daughter Evdokia also participates in this performance, who, having graduated from RATI-GITIS last year (like her mother), was accepted into the theater trainee group.
– The Moscow City Council Theater is my home, which I love very much, – says Kryukova. – From the first year of the institute, I took all my first and subsequent steps here. And the theater celebrates its hundred years in an absolute creative and working mood! Happy to be a part of this story and hope it’s only the first 100 years! Wish us all the very best! It is especially pleasant that my daughter is now involved in this great and important cause.
Evdokia was born in the third marriage of the actress with businessman Alexander Karev.
– On Zhenya’s whims – diamonds, trips, cars – Sasha spent at least a million dollars, – the former radio engineer Vladislav Viktorovich, Evgenia’s father, was amazed at one time. – Only she broke about five cars while she learned to drive, and these were not some “penny”, but, for example, a Rolls-Royce for 200 thousand dollars. He bought her 20 fur coats alone. Zhenya could not get pregnant for a long time, so Sasha took her to foreign doctors, and then gave a lot of money for treatment so that she could bear Dunechka. And she needed the child more: after all, Sasha already had a daughter from her first marriage.
In 2003, Karev began to have financial problems, and the marriage cracked at the seams.
“While he was showering Zhenya with dollars, she was in love, but when there was less money, love suddenly evaporated,” the father of the actress was indignant in an interview with Express Newspaper columnist Olga Khodayeva (after these revelations, Evgenia was very offended by her dad and stopped communicating with him) . – From the very beginning of their life together, there was no smell of real love. I talked about this to Sasha ten years before their final break. He warned that she had already jumped out twice in marriage of convenience. Zhenya cheated on Sasha more than once. And he, loving, forgave her everything, he didn’t even hit her even once, but he should have! And she left him because she found a new lover, richer than her husband. Sasha was 15 years older than Zhenya, and the new one was even older. I have seen it in photographs. I can’t believe that my daughter fell in love with this: scary, bald, pot-bellied. But a high-ranking official.
The described gentleman is Mikhail Rudyak. The multimillionaire was a philanthropist and made friends with many famous directors, sponsored their performances and films. Those, in gratitude, involved Yevgeny Kryukov in the main roles of their projects. Rudyak was going to divorce his lawful wife and marry a movie beauty. But in May 2007, he died of a heart attack on an airplane while flying with his mistress on vacation.
There were rumors that Kryukova wished to return to Karev. But he was already pampering another actress with expensive gifts – the young Anya Begunova, who was 32 years younger than him. This novel, we note, did not last long. Then Anya married the star of “Kitchen” Sergei Lovygin. She gave birth to a son. Divorced. She married actor Dmitry Vlaskin. She gave birth to a daughter. In a word, the girl is active.
And Karev died in early March 2021 – he had a heart attack after covid. In her personal social network account, Evgenia wrote: “Thank you for our beautiful daughter! You will forever remain infinitely dear … “
Fashion fun
In 2008, Kryukova became pregnant from Rudyak’s close friend, businessman Sergei Glyadelkin. He immediately divorced and began to build a new family with Eugene. The born boy was named Misha – in honor of the deceased Rudyak.
The family lives in a cozy house in Peredelkino near Moscow.
In her free time from rehearsals and performances, Evgenia runs a manufactory that produces brooches, mohair shawls, crockery and interior items of incredible beauty. Rarely appears in films. And her daughter decided to put her film career on pause for at least two years.
– She is constantly offered to play escorts, kept women and other heroines, about which our directors only shoot huge series today, – Evgenia shared with the correspondent of Express Newspaper Eleanor Flerova. – Evdokia asks the right question: “Why should I play this? For what?” I support her in this decision not to participate in these entertainments of fashionable directors.
Kryukova herself in her youth not only did not disdain the roles of heroines of a dubious lifestyle, but also starred naked for Playboy.
– It turned out very nice. I’m proud of this shoot. The first person I showed the cover of the magazine to was my mother. I was not ashamed, – Eugenia smiles. – And even before GITIS, a large Elite modeling agency invited me to Paris. They rented an apartment for me, painted a filming schedule. But I suddenly changed my mind. And she went back to Moscow, where she began to study as an actress. And I have never regretted my decision.
Beast her
Last year, Kryukova experienced two big losses. Until recently, the actress lived not only with two cute squirrels, but also with several dogs of different breeds, four Maine Coons and Morphius, who was picked up 14 years ago by a flea kitten at the gates of the monastery in Optina Hermitage.
In December 2021, the white Maine Coon Truffle died. Last spring, a heart attack claimed the life of another cat. And in the summer, the Flat Retriever Flipper died from the same clinical form of coronary heart disease.
– It was the best dog in the world, – Evgenia sighs sadly. – Until now, getting out of the bathroom, I’m afraid to step on him, because he always lay downstairs. He knew who to bring what slippers and always met at the door, holding them in his teeth. I don’t know a better cat or dog!
At the beginning of the year, the family got a new pet – a Puli dog named Finnik, who was born in Vitebsk, Belarus. The mutts Glasha and Doby, the flat retriever Frodo are glad to see a new member of the family.
