Nikita Kologrivy 28-year-old Nikita Kologrivy, without whom not a single major film project can do now (there are already ten films with him in major roles in production), was born in the Novosibirsk maternity hospital No. 6 on Vertkovskaya Street. After the divorce of his parents, he left with his mother for her homeland – Ukraine, and after the ninth grade she pronounced a sentence: “That’s it, son! It’s time to become a man – return to your father in Siberia!
She got tired of him. The boy was, though smart, but hooligan and pugnacious. His mother could no longer cope with his antics. And the Afghan father immediately sent Nikita to boxing and planted him for militants like “Saboteur”, where Kirill Pletnev shone in the title role. Ironically, it was in his film “Burn!” Kologrivy years later and made his debut.
“They didn’t take me anywhere – my appearance, they say, is incomprehensible: my teeth are strange, I seem to be cute, but I’m a little gopov for a hero-lover, and a lush mane doesn’t fit in with the image of a bandit,” Nikita complained. – One summer I came to Novosibirsk, and the boys cut my hair bald. He returned to Moscow with such a hairstyle and immediately got into the cinema with Pletnev.
Go to the artists Kologrivoy was advised by his grandfather, who worked at a car factory. Vladimir Vasilyevich (he died in March 2022) tore down an advertisement for recruitment to a creative studio from a pole. As a result, Nikita ended up in the Novosibirsk Theater.
– They expelled me from there quickly – for fights and the fact that they came drunk to rehearsals, – the actor does not hide. – My father bought a ticket to Thailand and took me there to spiritualize and be treated for various stupidities. At the end of the trip he asked: “So what? Do you want to recover?” I answered in the affirmative, he connected his connections and returned me to the institute. True, not for long. Having passed the next session, he rushed to Moscow with two friends. And he entered GITIS to Golomazov.

And again, the irony of fate. At the Theater on Malaya Bronnaya, the master staged “Til”, inviting Kologrivy to the main role – this was his debut on stage. And it was from this production – but directed by Mark Zakharov – that Nikolai Karachentsov, an actor with a similar specific appearance and the same interestingly planted teeth, began his starry path at Lenkom.
Now Nikita is called on a talk show and praises are sung. For example, I recently visited Fyodor Bondarchuk in Kino in Detail. Whom he thanked on behalf of his father for the “9 company”.
– I remember that premiere at the Novosibirsk cinema “Pobeda”, – Fyodor answered embarrassedly and nervously began to wipe the sweat from his forehead. – You just stirred up such memories in me … Goosebumps. There were guys from the Union of Afghans. One after viewing took off the bar and gave it to me. I was very moved.
