The first series of this cult project for us was released back in 1974, and in total, over 300 episodes have been filmed to date. Not only several generations of spectators have grown up on Yeralash, but also actors who have become famous in childhood. Today we take a look at ten of the show’s brightest stars and see how they’ve grown.
10 Vladimir Sychev
In Yeralash, the young actor appeared at the age of 12, and he was lucky to star in one of the most famous issues – the Brazilian System, where his hero made a goalkeeper out of a friend, and then a long-distance runner.
Sychev liked working on the set, so he decided to devote himself to this, graduating from GITIS in 1995.
Since then, he has been actively acting in films and on television: you probably remember him from his roles in Boomer and the recent Fizruk. By the way, in both projects, his characters made references to Yeralash, so the actor does not forget what made him famous.
9. Julia Volkova
Young Volkova starred in two episodes of the series: “Mannequin” and “Help Me Out”, but since she was fond of music at the same time, she had to make a choice.
As we all know, the scales tipped in favor of the stage, where she became truly famous as part of Tatu, although at that time she was only 14 years old.
After the collapse of the team, the singer is engaged in a solo career and raising two children, and in 2018 she remarried. Given that she is still quite young (at the moment she is 33 years old), we may well see her return to the screens again, at least small ones.
8. Olga Kuzmina
Like Volkova, Olga Kuzmina starred in two episodes of Yeralash, getting there in 2002. After 6 years, she graduated from GITIS and continued her acting career.
The first more or less serious project for her was the appearance in the series “Happy Together”, and full fame came to her after the role of a waitress in the sensational “Kitchen”. The actress is only 31 years old, so there is no doubt that she has a bright future in the field of Russian cinema.
7. Mikhail Kazakov
This actor, thanks to his memorable appearance and considerable talent as a comedian, is still recognizable, although he has already disappeared from the screens. In the period from 2002 to 2004, he starred in 21 episodes of Yeralash, winning the love of the audience.
In 2005, Mikhail, who at that time was 16 years old, killed a 20-year-old guy, protecting his friend. Immediately confessing to his deed, he was convicted of murder. After only a year of “imprisonment”, the case was reclassified as exceeding the limits of self-defense, and since the parties to the conflict reconciled, he was released.
Oddly enough, even such an event did not put an end to his career: already in 2007, he was invited to play the role in “Daddy’s Daughters”, which finally made him a popular person. Along with the end of the series in 2013, the acting career of Kazakov ended, who decided to devote himself entirely to business and family.
6. Alexander Golovin
He has 16 episodes of a film magazine between 2002 and 2014, as well as roles in several popular television series. “Kadetstvo”, “Kremlin cadets”, “Daddy’s daughters”, “Bastards” – these projects made Golovin a star, revealing his potential, but in recent years he has been diligently ruining him.
Once in 2010 on the set of the first part of “Yolok”, he seemed to be stuck and could not get out. Since then, his roles have been limited to trash comedies, although Golovin himself is capable of more. He is only 30 years old, so he still has time to rehabilitate his career.
5. Kirill Emelyanov
Emelyanov got into the film magazine at the age of 9, fulfilling his dream: he was born into a family of actors, therefore, literally from the cradle, he wanted to follow in the footsteps of his relatives. After that, together with Golovin, he ended up in “Bastards” and “Kadetstvo”, while simultaneously studying at GITIS, which he graduated in 2009. Now he continues to occasionally appear on the screens, devoting more time to the theater and raising two sons.
4. Anastasia Sivaeva
Another star of “Daddy’s Daughters”, but she is distinguished from the rest of our selection by the fact that she was called to Yeralash after filming (Boris Grachevsky noticed her). With Anastasia in the title role, 3 episodes of the newsreel came out, and then – a sitcom from STS and wide popularity. In recent years, the actress has hardly been filmed, but being the youngest of all those mentioned (she is only 27), she has every chance to return and once again loudly declare herself.
3. Pavel Stepanov
From the stars of “Yeralash” of the new generation, let’s move on to older ones, and Stepanov is the best example. For the first time, the Soviet audience saw him in 1975, and then hardly anyone could have imagined that this guy would become the record holder of the show.
Pavel Stepanov gave the magazine almost 40 years, starring in a huge number of episodes. Not limited to this, he starred in many films and TV shows, getting small, but memorable roles.
2. Fedor Stukov
Stukov got into the cinema already at the age of 7, attracting attention with his energy, so he simply could not pass by Yeralash, being there as a child. Having matured a little and graduated from the Shchukin School, he moved to Germany, where he even performed on stage at the Vershtadt Theater.
Returning to his homeland, he decided not to resume acting, focusing on directing, in which he has since achieved some success. So, he became the director of several episodes of the film magazine in 2007-2008, as well as the series How I Met Your Mother, Fizruk and the Eighties.
1. Natalia Chistyakova-Ionova
Do not be surprised that this name does not tell you anything: she gained real fame under the pseudonym Glukoza, although she got into Yeralash long before that, when she was 11 years old.
She conquered the film crew with her charisma, so her episodic role was expanded, and an offer was immediately received to participate in other series. Natalia acted in films and on TV until 2001, when she met Maxim Fadeev, after which she almost 100% went into music.
