Inna Mikhailovna Churikova was born Oct. 5, 1943 in the Bashkir city Belebey. Her mother, Elizabeth Zakharovna, the true teatralka, believed that Ina should be an actress. "My mother always told me that I should be an actress - remembered Inna Mikhailovna. - I do not become upset. She is everything in life - work, the pressure, will. My grandmother was nearly illiterate, and my mother - a chemist and professor. She always said: ′Look, if they conceive, so be it. "

They lived in Chashnikovo, in some strange-barn barracks. His mother worked agrohimikom. Ina was still a schoolgirl, when first turned on the set - filmed painting "Clouds over Bor (1961). The role was small - a few large plans. "Nothing about these shootings do not remember, except the smoke, shouting, and actor Vladimir Ivashov.

When Ina finished school, came to her girlfriend and said that she read the announcement: theatrical studio at the Stanislavsky Theater announces a set. Churikova went there with her and entered.

After school Inna examinations of school-studio Moscow Arts Theater. "Just about everything said here should be in the Moscow Arts Theater. And I agree, that really should be. But it is not available. Here′s how it happened. I read the poem in the exam. The teacher sat at a distance in the chair, listened, and then adjourned and called to me. "And you know who it Aphrodite?" - "No" - said. "Aphrodite - is the goddess of beauty, girl . . . you look at yourself . . . Well, well, read on. " I wanted to read more, even smiled, but could not resist the tears . . .

Inna Schepkinskoe been in college, after which, in 1965, was adopted at the Moscow theater scene of the young audience (TYUZ).

In the film she played an ungainly and unsuccessful durnushek - poteshnye in a comedy or a fairy tale ( "cook", "Morozko," "Thirty-Three"); miserable - in the dramatic films ( "Where are you now, Max?" ; elder sister ").

Directed by George Nathanson, film "The elder sister, recalled:" All we were zavorozheny amazing and complete absorption of the role of such a tiny volume and occupies so little space in the film. Immediately it became clear that this actress can not remove the usual film short "chunks", it should be removed only in one breath, one scene, or you can spill now this amazing actors integrity . . . "

Innu Churikova willingly invited on an ad hoc role. Directors quickly appreciated gift Inna - most stones inform the person to revive a lifeless characters.

In TYuZe Churikova worked for three years. Played animals - and domestic, and predatory. Once it saw the film director, Gleb Panfilov diplomnik - saw the accident on television, in a tiny role.

At that time he started shooting the film "In the fire Broda no. Rolan Bykov read the script and immediately said to him: there is such an actress - Inna Churikova, be sure to call her on the samples. Panfilov instructed assistants to find Churikova.

And here come the day when the second director Gennady Beglov Panfilova announced that arrived Churikova. Gleb A. entered the room where Inna was preparing for the upcoming screen. What did his surprise when he learned Churikova in the very young actress, who saw on television!

After long doubt, hesitation Book Studio Lenfilm "does Churikova approved for a major role in the movie" The fire Broda no. The actress has played brilliantly clumsy sanitarku Tanyu Tetkinu, the will of fate have been on the road of civil war. Piously verivshaya in the ideals of the revolution, the heroine dies of a bullet White officer. "Tanya Tetkina was a remarkable creature, a loving nature at all: and the stone and grass, and dog, and man, - said Churikova.

- She looked at the world through the eyes of the artist. Tanya, I close all the . . . "

In Panfilova, as recognized by Inna Mikhailovna, she probably fell in love immediately. Gleb A. First, it seemed older than their years. Serious, focused. "And when he starts talking, I am charmed. As a result, Panfilov was its intended.

In the next film Panfilova "Home" (1970) is not about life and death and not about the fate of the fatherland was the conversation. Then everything was easier and simpler. Young weaver Stroganova Pasha, like many thousands of her peers, in рвала�ь actress. Pasha tried on the role of Joan of Arc. Episodes Orleans filming a movie about a virgin interrupt the course of the film on the weavers zarechenskoy. Panfilov revel contrasts and Churikova confidently moves from comedy to tragedy.

"I have long dreamed of Jeanne d′Arc, even before the first picture - remember Gleb Panfilov. - And when he saw the Innu, immediately decided that it is Jeanne. It could it be in reality - Ina and Joan met me in the same way. It is from this phenomenal similarity, I start to tell the story Pashi Stroganovs - factory girls, played in the national theater Babu YaSU becoming an actress, and Jeanne, but was still Pashey. Taken together, this is Inna Churikova.

It Panfilova, as the cinema S. Kudryavtsev, belonged to the opening of rare talent actress capable to combine the propensity to Distinguishing drawing, sincerity and lyricism in the disclosure of feelings, the true drama of fate, and sometimes tragic sacrifice unexpectedly strong-willed female characters . . . "

With this view agrees Churikova herself: "I made a movie actress, and even more specifically - a film director, Panfilov. I then youthful years madly wanted to play, just play - Panfilov also made it clear that you just need to play their. He has cast me "the voice" - though at first timid, weak, frustrated, but I, and nobody′s more . . . "

Churikova TYuZa left and some time not working. They lived with Panfilova apartment in a modest one. They had a sofa, bags instead of chairs, a small table. This table Gleb Panfilov scripted "Home", "I word. " The only luxury that was it - a pen with a gold pen, and a dog sgryzla Nicole.

And one was a call. On the threshold - the director of the Lenin Komsomol Theater Mark Zakharov and theater director, Rafik Ekimyan. They found the Innu to offer Nele role in the new play "Till" by Charles de Coster to play Grigory Gorin . . .

For example, in 1973, Churikova was in the name of Lenin Komsomol Theater (now - Lenkom).

"Til" Zakharov was conceived as a musical performance, each character has its own, clearly defined rhythm of the director-plastic behavior at the scene. However Churikova do not want to run, jump. It was only after some time the director and the actress came to a mutual understanding. So there lunolikaya Nele - embodied patience.

After Nele actress Sarah surprisingly played in "Ivanov" Chekhov and literally shook the theater world. It burned like himself in this role, and its heroine was a special light.

"I remember Zakharov as unexpectedly decided to stage a family quarrel, when two loving people kill each other word, humiliated, insulted," - says the actress. - Nobody can hurt so wound as the nearest person. Beloved husband, and his play Yevgeny Pavlovich Leonov, yells at Sarah glare: "Zhidovka, you will soon die!" At this point, I physically felt terrible guilt over her husband, whose forced to reach such a state. I′m slow and long was it, to somehow comfort. In Eugene P. martyr was awry with the suffering person. There was dead silence . . . "

Yevgeny Leonov in the "Letters to his son" said: "Inna Churikova - great actress, so the complementary part omit. You see, this woman gifted natural gigantic artistic energy, and this is a truly theatrical miracle. It is convincing. She does not act on the stage, she lives. Every gesture of her mind, every word in the measure are full of sensual energy that all of it on the stage naked heart, pulsation of which scares me sometimes. And that her excessive cordiality, her special none concurrent cardiac rhythm attracts the attention, I think, hypnotizing the audience. Next to it, no other human truth there is no place, everything is evaluated in connection with it.

This, I would say, a powerful centripetal mechanism.

In dvuhseriynom movie "I word" (1975) Panfilov set Churikova problem with a simple mind, but in fact - the most difficult. After the tragedies and comedies she was to enter into the drama. Inna Churikova performed the role of chairman of Mayor Elizabeth Uvarova. Public good for her above all, even the tragic personal experiences.

Even after the movie "I word" out on the screen, Churikova said: "Much of Uvarova did not coincide with my character. Her manner of behavior, the ability to rein in their feelings in the most dramatic moments . . . Its almost fanatical obsession with . . . I still knew her, and the secret nature of the case for me, this woman even more interesting and attractive. I grew up to her and both suffered from it. It is in everything - in the advantages and disadvantages - the real, and it is for me very important. Authenticity - is what we sometimes do not have enough! "

And that in addition to film and theater warms Churikova?

In painting the Innu Mikhailovna, she said, carries all the talented. It is close to Russian artists, "deep" realists XVII-XVIII centuries. And at the same time, she likes to artists who feel exactly the form - Chagall, Kandinsky. Were close to Petrov-Vodkin and Filonov, Memling, Bosch and Bruegel . . . In music - Mozart ( "The harmony of comfort"). In the literature - Dostoevsky. When Inna and Gleb was born the son, they′d call it Fedey in honor of the great writer. But the won did a different name - Vanya . . .

Ten years after Tani Tetkinoy television show Churikova played Love Yarov. In relation to the classical work of actress Pashennaya Churikova work was polemical: the simplicity and democracy Pashennaya she has put underlined intelligence, dryish of masculinity - femininity vulnerable heroine. As dictated by the conflict between feeling and duty Inna Mikhailovna made a bid for the engrossing sense.

Churikova often a kind of counsel of their heroines. But there have been role, where its quality and is not required where the audience sympathizes with her heroines originally - as, for example, soft and strong Sashenke of banned once panfilovskoy "Themes" (1979, out on the screen 1987).

One of the favorite Churikova have been instrumental in the play "Three Girls in Blue" Petrushevskoy.

In the film "Valentine" (1981), removed Panfilova to play Vampilov "Last summer in Chulimske" and "Military Field roman" (1984) Peter Todorovsky Churikova won second role, and in both cases, she performed them perfectly, filigree.

For the role in the defense field novel Churikova won "Grand Prix" festival in West Berlin. She plays a woman fighting treason, which went to another favorite.

And how is Churikova took its heroines? "I′ve never played a bad women. In fact, each contains a set of hypostasis, sometimes good and evil, and gentle and brutal. I think women in general by nature is more to the pangs of conscience, the spiritual self, rather than man. Read it in every way, to identify - perhaps the most interesting. And the path is different. "

The "tragedy of Sunshine" (1983) on the stage name of Lenin Komsomol Churikova played Commissioner. Her heroine lived romance of revolution, ideas of justice and nobility.

When Gleb Panfilov suggested Churikova play Vassa Zheleznova, she initially refused. "Once we started to dream, once I realized that Vassa loves her husband, only the strong love that she loves his home, his girl, after we started to listen to ballads, which listened Vassa, I say: let′s try . . . "

Vassa, in general, one of the best roles Churikova. Young (on the play-it of 42 years), loving, feminine, unhappy. Involuntarily became "iron": a brutal, dirty, and went life led her in circulation. Blessed soul, the victim of lewd and corrupt the world . . .

Legendary FG Ranevskaya wrote: "I wanted to speak in love the actors who played in the movie" Love Yarovaya. In Inna Churikova I wonder its uniqueness. It is extremely reliable. I believe her every movement, glance. I believe her eyes . . . "

Panfilov also won the Innu Mikhaylovna in two performances - in "Hamlet" in the role of Gertrude (previously staged by A.

Tarkovsky, she performed Ofelia) and "Sorry" on the play by Alexander Galyna.

The "Sorry" Churikova played with Nicholas Karachentsovym. Together on stage the entire show, which took so much force that, according to the actress, then she needed a day of rest.

In his works, Inna Mikhailovna used to surprise the audience. She was surprised and in the movie "Mother", removed Panfilova of novel Gorky. How much was clear: whether today this textbook Social realism novel? Panfilov withdrew an excellent film and make sure that Churikova can really everything. "Anyone Inna Churikova - this is a special, God, talent as the voice of the singer, virtuoso hands, artist′s vision, hearing, the composer - wrote biographer Alla Gerber. - The same fate bestowed upon a person who all can. All complex "passages" of human souls in a position to "hear" and "run" that person ".

In 1991, Churikova became a popular actress of the USSR. In 1993, Churikova acted in three films. "Year of Dog" Seeds Aranovich got a Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival. "Kurochka Ryaba Andrei Konchalovsky went to Cannes. For Hloi role in "Casanova Cloak Alexandra Galina Churikova awarded the prize for Open Russian Film Festival.

The most memorable for the actress was the work of Konchalovskiy, because there I had such a role, which I′ve never played before: a very eccentric, sharp. "

"Cloak Casanova" (Prize of the festival "Kinotavr") - the picture of Alexander Mikhailovich Galina, his directing debut. "The film is such a wonderful light. He highlighted the humor of Alexander Mikhailovich, his identity - says Inna Mikhailovna. - Very good shot Mikhail Agranovich. Remarkable is the actress playing - Mayorova Lena, Katja Grabbe, Tamara Kotikova amazing, very talented and original. A very warm film. "

Following left "Shirley-myrli, where Churikova played the mother of the hero.

And on the stage actress played Gertrude in "Hamlet", Mamayev to "the wise", Arkadinu in "The Seagull" . . .

Zakharov Arkadinu director decided the grotesque, the scrapping of genres. Senior theater critic, AP Svobodin wrote: ". . . that the actress reveals in his character, unusual. The phenomenal discovery. Arkadina just stupid! With such a delight, with such impact, with round eyes, with that half-mouth, it is given to the current minute, so for a child carelessly puts himself at the center of all events that do not zalyubovatsya impossible. And it is not a question for her in Kharkov triumphantly took and how "This emptiness is playing charming" lady with the camellias? Attractive charm of selfishness - this is what this Arkadina.

"I think Chekhov and its such a saw - Churikova observed. - The past always seems more noble. And then lived the same life, love, suffering, absurd, ridiculous and not necessarily smart people. "

In 1996, Churikova was awarded the State Prize of Russia. And a year later she received a second "Crystal Turandot" - for her role in the play Antonida Vasilyevna Mark Zakharov "Barbarian and the Heretic" (1997), delivered after Dostoyevsky′s novel The Gambler. "

Churikova not immediately agreed to play Antonida Vasilyevna. The work was hard, hard. Churikova played an unexpected tragedy, is not predicted to sin through ignorance. She quietly entered the performance of the motives of Christian precepts . . .

Churikova rare film. No interesting roles. And the performances of its boards of all time . . .

Gleb Panfilov′s film "The Romanovs. Crowned Family "(2000) Ina M. voiced the role of Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, and also co-sponsored the script. Churikova could play Empress herself, but for some reason, the lenders have decided that if it will play Western or American actress, this will help the commercial fate of the film. As a result, the role of Alexandra Feodorovna took Linda Bellindhem of England . . .

Brilliant actress Inna Mikhailovna Churikova is subject, it seems everything: tragedy and comedy, grotesque, clowning, and the subtlest psychological ligature on the stage. Sometimes it unrecognizable change the makeup, a wig, a dress, but his eyes look as closely and trustingly, sounds the same soft, extremely expressive, with the warm intonations of her voice breast .
